derson.

shaking his head, with slight smile.
Mrs. Beldon, who stood beside him,
slipped her hand inside his arm. "There's
only one Jimmy Sylvester she said with a
glad little laugh, "and was SO afraid there
wasn't even one!'
Jimmy Sylvester gave her the kind of look
that a woman in love counts as the chiefest
treasure in her eXchequer of emotion. Then
she spoke to Henderson:
"When l met your young friend in Swift
zerland | was interested in him because had
heard him in his delirium talk of Jimmy
and 'Pythias' whom a widow had used so
cruelty. had never heard Jimmy talk of
his best friend in any other way except as
my chum. When this sick man told me
his name was Jimmy Sylvester, at first |
thought it was possible that there might be
two men of that name but when he began
to tell me stories about Jimmy Sylvester
that had really happened, when he pretended
that Jimmys experiences that Jimmy had
told me about had been his own-why, then

not to lose sight of him till found out what
had become of Jimmy. AT The same time,
couldn't feel that that dear sick boy inside
there was criminal.

said Henderson, "but l am afraid | don't

Maybe l can assist YOU" said Bates,
stepping out of the gloom of the hut. "Sev-
erai months ago | heard that man who
answered to Larrabee Damon'S description

on one of the deserted islands. He had come
from somewhere in an open boat. He wore

YOU tell me what is the matter with me?"
The next moment he dropped to the
ground and lay limp and unconscious. An
gel:. Give fell on her knees beside him, and
began murmuring IncOherent things in his
ear. Captain Bates lifted him.
"Here!" he said roughly I'VE mus get
him into the coolest place we can find. Get

Arapi if we don't look out"
They carried him through the palms to the
chiefs hut. Captain Bates, who was good
amateur doctor, sent Corrigan back to the
Simeon Bailey for certain medicines, and
made everybody stay outside the hut. He
seemed glad to be able to exercise a little
authority once more. When he was sure
that it was safe to leave him, he appointed
Angela Give as rurse.
THE confusion attendant on Damon's i'll
ness was so complete that it was some
time before Henderson was able to think
about the business that had taken him to
Arapi. In the group that had stood on the
beach to welcome him there was no sign of
the real Larrabee Damon. On the other
hani there had been from Wallace no tri-
umphant look or word to indicate that Hen
derson's trickery had been found out.
AS soon as everything had been done for
Damon that was possible, Henderson APP

standing anxiously by the door of the hut.

it was a stormy winter day in the North
Pacific-had brought out his jack knife and
asked me to give it an edge. 1t was large
knife, one | should have liked to possess
myself, with but one blade, of the bowie
knife shape. My admiration for it induced
me to polish and sharpen it first, and when l
had given it a razorke edge laid it aside
and began on the others.
When, just before eight bells, my task
was about done, the Shippers wife appeared
at the door, swung open by the heelng of
the ship, and asked me for knife to sharpen

Mr.. Murdoch's, knowing he would not OBJ

few hours earlier, and seen new bruise on
her face that she was keeping diary of her
i'll treatment, the more likely so that her
british husband was now asleep, his loud
snores filtering through the bulkhead. When
eight bells had struck, Mr. Murdoch, re-
lieved by the mate, entered the forward COM
panion of the cabin, and | could hear the
swish of his oilskins as he shed them in the
passage. Then heard the shippers wife call
to him, and he came aft, passing my door.

But in about a minute it opened, slammed

der, murder! Help!" And the shippers
wife rushed past my door to the forward
companion. l stepped out. She had gone
on out, still screaming; but came back
soon with the first mate and the steward, my
immediate superior. He beckoned me, and
l followed them into the after cabin. The
red-bearded skipper lay in his berth with
Mr.. N1urdoch's knife buried in his breast,
and in the center of the apartment stood the
latter, white in the face as a sunburned man
can become, shaking in his legs. and staring
at us with wide-open, wondering eyes, like
a man suddenly awakened from sound sleep.
"Did YOU do this, Mr.. Murdoch?' asked
the mate.

mates voice on deck, speaking to Murdoch
at the wheel. 1t was his watch below; bur

made him wakciul.

man and got away with it, didn't you?'
Murdoch did not answer, and | waited.
with the disturbing thought in my mind that
if | could hear so plainly, anyone on deck
might have heard our conversation in the
cabin. And my misgivings were soon con-
firmed.

"And what use, Mr.. Poyce," said Muir

"What use?' roared the properly indig-

Now | scrambled to my feet, hearing the
mate exclaim, "What. You threaten me?'
Then came the sounds of blow and scuffle
and | reached the deck just in time to see
both men, tightly clenched, tumble down
the open lazarette hatch, beneath which
Mike was ironed to stanchion.
