CHAPTER XIII.
RUNNING THE PIRATE DOWN.

"A R ISIS GRAYMAN'S mad at

probably. after all, the means
Of her salvation. 1t had the effect Of
keeping Payton at his lodge. But for
the necessity which he felt Of watch
ing her personally we might not have
succeeded in getting the two commu-
nications from the same point. and
that the very point that we wished to
hit upon
Payton never spoke to Miss Gray
man again while she remained at the
lodge. Perhaps he was ashamed to
face her. He well might have been.
Perhaps he had some other reason.
But. at any rate. from that moment
she was kept close prisoner, and all
that Payton said to Mr.. Grayman
about her continued cheerfulness and
about their trout fishing was a base
falsehood. invented to prey upon the
billionaire's mind.
And now to the story Of our search
and the startling events that came
out Of It.
After leaving the little town I or
dered full speed ahead. and we tratled
away in a long line In this order-the
Eagle, the Skyiark. the Osprey. the
Crow and the Bobolink. 1t was

In a short time we passed over Lake

west we saw Toronto.
Afterward we passed Ottawa. but l
kept a good offing. not caring to run
the risk Of being seen by spies. After
that we soon had beneath US great

were also In complete readiness. and
every man carried twenty cartridges
In his belt besides the ten in the maya
zine of his rifle. This applied to the
other aeros as well.
If it came to fight l didn't believe
that Captain Alfonso would stand up
to it very long My chief fear was as
10 his running away. AS / have al
ready intimated, had great confidence
In the Eagle and knew her powers to
nicely. but was willing to allow
that the Chameleon might be able to
draw away from her In race. Con-
sequently I didn't mean that there
should be any race.
AS to my course, I had set It with
extreme care. and I was sure that it
would take me very close to the inter
section Of my lines. But would 1t find
Payton's hiding place? In my soul
believed it would.
I glanced frequently at the formi-
dable line Of aeros trailing after US,
rising and falling with the atmospheric
pillows. while their polished guns CLINT
ed in the sunlight. and as watched
my heart alternately swelled with
pride and sank under the weight Of
anxiety.
We dined about half after 7, and
shortly afterward signaled the squad

mander as he dropped alongside the

we had worked out In my cabin. This
Is virtually what ! repeated to sill OF
them:

and reputation of the service are at
stake. You will act under my imme-
date orders. but under the eye OF the
secretary.
cit Is our design TO reach the pirates

lodge. as he calls it, which Is probably
building Of considerable magnitude
and which may be strongly manned
and fortified. We shall surround It
and endeavor to capture him and his
prisoners We believe that he has

i then issued to each commander a
signal code which I had prepared for

rounding the lodge and in the case Of

The majority Of the, signals were al
heady well known In the service.

intently at the somber tufted surface
Of foliage, from which the cries Of
wild animals new occasionally rose to
US.
When I felt that we mus be close
to the critical point I halted the other
fiers and went on very cautiously

earth now, the danger Of detection be-
ing less
lit is fortunate" said to Mr.. Gray
man and Secretary Grantham. who
most of the time stood beside me on
the deck, that Payton did not select
hiding place somewhere in the west
ern part Of the Dominion. for then the
lines to New York and Buffalo might
have nearly conceded. and it would
have been very difficult to calculate
their point of intersection"
you'd have managed 1t. my boy"
said Mr.. Grantham, putting his hand
with a kindly pat on my shoulder.
"You have too much at stake to lose
this game. But Pm glad it proved
easy for you"
Mr.. Grayman meanwhile had fallen
into a meditative mood. He was think
ing about his daughter and her peril.

'See here, Grayman," said the sec
Rotary, ''this won't do. Don't go to
worrying now when the thing is al
most ended. The time for worry Is
gone. We've got the rascal located
We're going to drop upon him without
the slightest warning, and we've got
the force needed to overcome him
Your daughters danger is past, and In

be Ia your arms"
Mr. Grayman tried to smile and to
look cheerful. but his heart was heavy.
1--WE must begin to work out the de
tails of our plan," said the secretary.
turning to me. DO you think that you
could find him at night? If possible.
1t might be best to drop upon him In
the darkness. We might catch him
asleep II we knew the exact spot. Sup
pose you go over your calculations and
see how near you can determine the
exact number Of miles that we must
still run Then we can regulate our
speed accordingly"
l did as Mr. Grantham requested.
and. after consulting the excellent
charts that we carried. announced
that from Ottawa to the apparent in
tersection Of the lines the distance was
very Close to 500 miles. We had pass
ed Ottawa an hour before, going at
clip Of 40 miles. Mr.. Grantham took
out his watch.
"Three o'clock" he said "The days
are long and longer the farther we go
sorth. There is an all night twilight

Immediately / signaled the aeros

news that arrived on the Lurlne this
morning, and as result Theodore Il.
Nivison, the Sierra's Sparks" has
married, quit his job, made "a step
brother angry and left all the people
who know him wondering whether or
not his bride is really an heiress.
A Coast paper says of the ro-
nance:
The present Mrs. Nivison took pass
age on the Sierra as Miss Josephine
Smith. She was accompanied by John
Bruce. her stepbrother. A few days
out, Wireless Operator Nivison met
Miss Smith at one of the social af-
fairs on board ship. Miss Smith evinc-
ed keen desire to know all about
wireless telegraphy. Nivison was II
good teacher. The sparks of the wire
less machine had rivals during the
first few days on board ship with
Cupid as u passenger.
The courtship was rapid, and at
Honolulu the marriage ceremony was
performed. Miss Smith, or, as she had
become very quietly. Mrs. Nivison, re-
turned 10 San Francisco nthe ST.
ezra with her husband, arriving here
at 5 o'clock yesterday morning.
The marriage was one of those
open shipboard secrets. Everybody
was talking about it except those most
concerned. John Bruce. the step
brother, il peeved. He is very angry,
and declares that he knows nothing
ut all about the affair except that his
sister did not meet young Nivison for
the first time on the Sierra

he remarked yesterday. Then he re-
fused to say anything else. The

IN HIS POCKET,

at San Francisco with an emerald

After consulting the law on the
subject the Collector saw legal way

to accept a bond from Mr.. Stevens for
the gem In transit to Tiffany's in
New York city, where it will be ap-
praised in order to satisfy its owner
as to Its value. The bonded gem will
then be placed in the New York Gus
