course should begin at San Juan del
Norte ON the Atlantic Ocean, follow the
course Of the San Juan river to Lake
Nicaragua and by canal to Brito ON the

Fiercely she dragged him to this window. her fingers biting deep into the flesh of his arm.

 Rowland had stopped. From the blackness of the corridor there came the beat of heavy fists on the door and the rage of a laundering voice demand ing admittance From out in the night It was answered by the sharp barking of dog and the shout of a second voice.

Go back to Prince Albert-to the ho- tel where l looked at you through the window. I will come there-sometime as soon as can"
 A blast of cold air swept into his face. He had thrust bis revolver into It's holster. and now again for an m stant he held Meieese close in his arms

 He pulled himself through the win dow hanging for last moment 10 the ledge.
