The Tarragon has been in service a lit

twelve months il covered 500 miles in

of almost thirty miles day. Ii inspected

the result of the vigilance being dis
played by the United States bureau OF
navigation, Department of Commerce
in hauling up offenders against the
country's navigation laws.
The Tarragon is a trim and speedy
motor boat, which acts as policeman

craft along the coast and in the bays
and inlets. Stealing swiftly upon Of

dark night. when they are little think

captain paid fine to the United States
government for having failed to obey

Although the Tarragon has been in
commission only a comparatively short
time, she has brought many offenders

southern Atlantic coast, where she will
remain for several months, watching
the fishing fleets and the motor boats

So far the Tarragon has been going

CHAPTER XIII.
How II All Wac.

For his share Ia the foregoing Percy
Darrow was extensively blamed II
was universally conceded that his &C
ton In permitting Monsieur X TO con-
tinue his activities up to the danger
point was inexcusable. The public
mind should have been treasured long
before. Much terror and physical sui.
fering might thus have been avoided
not to speak of financial loss. Scien-
tific men. furthermore. went frantic
over his unwarranted destruction OF
the formulas, Percy barrow was va
riously described as heartless mon.
ster and q scientific vandal. To these
aspersions he paid no atteptIon what
ever.
Helen Warford, however. became
vastly indignant and partisan. and In
consequence Percy Darrow's course In
the matter received from her It's full
credit for q genuine altruism. Hal
lowell. also, held persistently to this
point as far as his editors would per
NIT him, until at last. the public mind
was somewhat Gained, attention was
moro focused on the means by which
the man had reached his conclusions
rather than on the use OF them he
had made.
The story was told three times by
Its chief actor: once to the newspa'
pers, once to the capitalists from whom
he demanded the promised reward,
and once to the Warfords. This last
account was the more detailed and
interesting.
