spoke to him rapidly in his own
tongue.

not himself. Tell him 1 have done the
best could. Tell him"
She lowered her voice SO that
heard no more. Holbrook was still
heaping abuse upon Gillespie, who
stood submissively by; but Helen ran
up the bank, the lantern light flashing
eerily about her.
The Italian drew Holbrook toward
the boat that lay at the edge Of the
lake. He seemed to forget me in his
anger against Gillespie, and he kept
turning toward the path down which

AS my horse whinnied and turned

"Well, inexplicable Donovan!"
/ laughed, pleased to find that my
delay annoyed him. I was confident
that he was not abroad at this hour
for nothing, and it again occurred to
me that we were on different sides of
the matter. My WEAKNESS fell from
me like a cloak, as the events of the
past hour flashed fresh in my mind.
Now" I said, dropping the rein and
patting the horses nose for moment,
you may go with me or you may sit
here; but if you would avoid trouble
don't try to interfere with me-"
did not doubt that he had been
sent tc watch me; and his immediate
purpose seemed to be to detain me. :
Il had hoped you would sit down
and talk over the Monroe Doctrine, or
the partition of Africa, or something
equally interesting, he remarked. "You
disappoint me, my dear benefactor."
"And you make me very tired at the
end of a tiresome day, Gillespie.
Please continue to watch my horse;
I'm off,"
He kept at my elbow, as 1 expected
he would, babbling away with his usu.
al volubility in an effort, now frank
enough, to hold me back; but 1 ig-
nored his talk and plunged on through
the wood toward the creek. Henry
Holbrook must, argued, have had
time enough to get out of the creek
and back to the island; but what mis-.
chief Gillespie was furthering in his
behalf could not imagine.
There was gradual rise toward the
creek and we were obliged to cling to
the bushes in making our ascent. Sud-
denly, as paused for breath, Giles
pie grasped my arm.
For Gods sake, stop! This is no
AFFAIR of yours. On my honor there's
nothing that affects you here"
II will see whether there is or not!"
exclaimed, throwing him of, but he
kept close beside me.
We gained the trail that ran along
the creek. and paused to listen.
Where's your launch?"
Find It," he replied, succinctly.
I had my bearings pretty well, and
set of toward the lake, Gillespie
trudging behind in the narrow path.
When we had gone about 20 yards q
lantern glimmered below and heard
voices raised in excited colloquy. Gil
lespie started forward at run.
