each other than most brothers. He
went away, knowing that If his ven

The moment Mr.. Fanshaw ana
Jeanne emerged upon the deck they
heard the sound of oars beneath them,
and looking over the rail sa" one vi
the boats in which the shore parry
had set out, pulling up alongside the
accommodation ladder. Three men
were In it, two Of the crew and Tom
Fanshaw.

The younger man looked up. i1e

Nothing wrong" he growled, except

about breaking camp this morning we
saw a man coming toward US across

was Hunter, and we were nightly
glad to see him. because he had stray
ed off somewhere and hadn't camped
with us. But we 500 saw it wasn't
he, wasn't a man anything like him.
He was a queer, slouching, shutting
creature, dressed in skins. and he
came up in a hesitating way, as If he
was afraid of us. He couldn't talk
English. nor understand it, apparent

But what then, man? My God!
what then? Do you suppose we can

Fanshaw looked quickly from the
negro's face to the girls as II he sus-
pected a hoax, but the terror IN one
face and the mystification In the other
were obviously genuine.
Then he rose and went over to the
buffet. returning to the table with the
oddly-shaped, rudely-whittled stick
DO you mean to say" he demanded,
looking up at the girl with a puzzled
frown-'do you mean to a hat he,
the nan you dreamed about, made
you a present of this stick"
She laughed. IF that seems a rea'
sonable way Of putting 1t, yes; at
least it slipped out of his belt and
found 1t where he had been sitting.
But IAN you imagine what he used 1t
for?"
"Oh, l know what it is, but that
only makes the puzzle all the deeper.
It's an Eskimo throwing-stick. They
use it to shoot darts with. 1t lies

But l cant figure out how the thing
got aboard the yacht; it wasn't here
yesterday"
"Of course not" she said; my sky
man brought it."
He ran his fingers through his
bushy gray hair p~erplexedly. Their he
laid the thing down and seated him

said, I'VE needn't let eve a mystery

Obediently she took up her fork,
but almost Immediately laid it down
again, and he saw her eyes brighten
with tears. "Of course, if there'd been
any news, If there'd been anything to
find, we'd have heard"
Silently ~hey-eached across the table
and patted the hand that lay there on
the white cloth.
"Oh, l know 1 oughtn't to cry" she
said, land l won't; it's your goodness
and kindness to me as much as any
thing else. Ever since he went away

This from the old gentleman, who
had controlled his patience with diff

the younger man hesitated and looked

She went quite white, and reeled a

Tom himself half rose from his chair,
only to drop back into it again with a
grimace Of pain and a little dew Of

"Oh, ! suppose" said Jeanne,
there's no use worrying"
Across the table from where she sat
at breakfast in the snug, warm. lux
urious little dining room on the yacht,
old Mr.. Fanshaw m~ethodically laid his
coffee spoon in the saucer beside his
cup, and looked up at her with his
slow, deliberate smile.

Tom is in the party. Unless they find
