CHAPTER IX.-(Continued.)


The visit of Mr.. Franz threw no
terry. AS to the disappearance Of Bet
ty Lancey and of the Man-Aperilla
these riddles were still at their battling
inception. The police found them
selves up against a polygonal enigma:
The murder of Cerisse Wayne; the
identity and whereabouts Of Hamley
Hackleye; the unparalleled resem-
blance between Mrs. Harcourt and
Mrs. Wayne; the disappearance Of
Betty Lancey; and the appearance
and disappearance Of the Man-Aperilla
all surrounding the death Of Mrs.
Wayne.
Larry Morris grew thin and gaunt
as the days passed on. and no tidings
came from the missing Betty. Har-
courts wife had been taken to a sani-
tarium and Harcourt was held in jail
pending her recovery and the clear
ance OF the mystery. The copy Of the
letter Harcourt had made was pro-
nounced by experts to be disguised
hand. and the signature of Harold
Harcourt on the hotel register was
found to be almost Identical with the
formation Of the initials H. H. append
ed to the letters found among the ef-
fects Of the dead Cerisse Wayne.
Opinion was divided among various
speculations and some thought that
Harcourt had killed Mrs. Wayne, other
theorists held that Harold Harcourt
and Hamley Hackleye were the same |;
hot IIa- ,,rth haI
masquerading as Hackleye, and in that
way explained the vanishing of Hack
leye. This left still unaccounted for
the abduction of Betty and the mys-
terry of the Man-Aperilla
Larry Morris persistently held to It
that 1t was only right that an expedi-
ton should be fitted up and sent to
Africa to see If there might be any
further clews picked up there. His
paper laughed at him, and one editor
who guessed the condition of Larry's
heart, called him a 'lovesick fool
Larry fumed until one night late in
August he had q dream about Betty
He saw her in jungle, amidst horde
Of libyans and hideous black men. And
she was standing there stretching out
her hands to him. Her voice, thick
with pain, called out to him, Larry!
oh, Larry!" That settled Larry Nor
ris. He threw up his job the very next
day, and with Johnny Johnson in tow
left for New York. Five days later
Larry had made a tie-up with press
syndicate to go to Africa, along with
Johnny Johnson, and see what could
be done towards tracing out that end
Of the tale. They had no charts, moth
Ing but few half obliterated post
marks torn from letters found In the
safety deposit box kept with Double
day. Franz g. Co.. but on these Larry
was pinning much faith. 1t was the
mustard seed he hoped would move a
mountain.

CHAPTER XII

One day Betty, tired of watching the
seascope slip monotonously by, sam
Piled putting her foot to the deck. The
touch of the timber wakened ambition
within her, 80 the second foot slowly
followed the first. Then Betty made
another try, and found that she could
stand erect-rather lottery 1t was true.
Then she tried to walk, but hardly
had she gone half dozen steps when
Tyoga was with her.
Careful, careful" smiled the ne
gress. Don't try too much, and be
careful, mighty careful round this
boat. This is bad boat, Missy, 1t
ought to fly the pirate flag"
Betty shivered. She had grown to
like Tyoga, for the negress had been
devotion itself In the services she had
given to the young American girl.
Taciturn and commanding. Betty had
never been able to evoke from her
either the object or the direction Of
their journey beyond what the negress
had told her that first morning. That
she had been very Ill. Betty knew, and
that LIE Malheureux was physician Of
high skill she had shrewdly guessed.
Betty rarely saw him, never in bright
light though when he played on deck
Of nights, as he always did, the magic,
| mystery and misery in the music made
her heart throb and her eyes fill with
tears. It was the wall of heart and
| Of soul in prison, and in despair. All
| endeavors to elicit any information
| from her surroundings having failed,
Betty had resigned herself to the inev-
table, postponed the finding of the an
swer and estimating her own enfeebled
condition had got down to taking
things as she found them, reveling in
the salt and sweep Of Nature and the
sea air and the willy-nilly voyage that
had fallen to her lot.
Time and It's reckoning had all been
lost. Betty, finding that the compto-
meter of the days had slipped from her
mind did not try to retain It. She
| merely rested and waited. But there
were times occasions and remarks
that Tyoga and LIE Malheureux both
| would ofttimes make that caused Betty
to shiver, and forced her once more in
to wonderment Of the wherefore and
the why.
Don't Tyoga!" she fretted now.
You make me so unhappy when you
speak like that. I'm restless, anyway.
and 1 want to be amused. Take me
some place"
| DO you want to go into my kitch-
en-" suggested Tyoga, humoring her.
Most little girls like to mess in the
kitchen. If you want to you may go
down and make fudge"
'"Tyoga," asked Betty, where did
you get that wonderful education Of
yours? Tell me, do. Your English Is
perfection"
A shade Of pain crossed the negress
face, and her features set in immobi-
| ity.
DO you want to go into the kitch-
en?" she repeated.
mo-" replied Betty, imperiously, II
want to go see LIE Malheureux
don't like him, Tyoga, he repels me as
much as If he were horrd beast. But
feel sorry for him. Take me where
| he is."

between them, both were so tall. SO
hulking, so sombre. Had she not heard
their voices in a cultural converse
whose syllables she could not distin-
guish, she would have thought that
the dual personality was but trick
OF her rebellious fancy and that only
one person beside herself was aboard
this yacht of enchantment or delirium.
The golden day faded in a rainbow
clash of scarlet and silver, jasper and
jade, pink and purple and gold and
green. Pale evening. star-shot and
misty followed in its footsteps. At in
tervals Betty reused to be fed. only to
fall again into her dreams of things
chaotic and things incomplete. Then
when 1t grew the dark gray dusk, with
a tight and shrivelled little quarter of
moon above them, Betty heard the
twang and tinkle of a banjo beside
her, and looking saw lie Malheureux,
deep in the shadow. picking from the
strings of the instrument melodies
with all the heartbreak and all the
soul-ache of the world within their
measures.
AS the night darkened the music

rich alluring as the jungles from
whence she had come, and the yacht
sailed on and on to the south. with
Betty fast asleep and all unconscious
of the worldwide search for her, now
paralleling the mystery of the murder
of Cerisse Wayne.
