General Felt1 Dias. Who isssojourn-

inS messag TO the american people:
Education in school houses not in
Sfoftresses is the need of the Mexicans
They must be taught to use pens raj
Their than pistols, to value iearning
above loot To spnpose that 1900
50o0 uneddcated mel and women OF
Mexico can govern themselves is a
sweet dream, but untrue. :Ehe educ

til the common people have learned
to rule" To the Mexican people he
says: Better than criticise any ac-
ton Of President Wilson or to com
ment on the barDarities Of European
war we should show ourselves cap
able of peace in u own country. The
only way peace can be gwen back to
Mexico is by unification OF all fac
tons of the people under a strong
central government which viii care
for all the people regardless OF their

Amt none o. my business, huh? Whered
yuh git box like that? Steal it? By cripes,
I'm goin' t have a look at that box, my
hearty. 1t don't smell like honest onions"
You lemme by!" breathed Steve, with
murder in his heart
Suddenly the two men closed, surged back
and forth, one determined to take and the
other to hold this mysterious box. Dunkers
struggled to uphold his word not that he
really wanted the box but to prove that he
was strong enough to take it if he wanted 10.
The name on the box flashed and disappeared.
1t was kind of shock to him. He and Bios
som went battering against the rail. Dunk
ers' grip slipped and so did Blossoms. The
result was that the box was catapulted into
the sea. With an agonizing cry, Blossom
leaned far over. He saw the box osciIlate for
moment, then sink gracefully in a zgzag
course, down through the blue waters Fainter
and fainter it grew and at last vanished.
" I'm sorry, Steve; but yuh wouldn't let
me look at it" said Dunkers, contritely.
Damn you I'm goin' t kill y for that
1t became a real fight this time, fist and
foot, tooth and nail; one mad with the lust
to kill and the other desperately intent on hv-
ing. 1t WAS one of those contests in which
honor and fair play have no part. But Tor
the timely arrival of the captain and some Of
the crew Dunkers would have been badly in
iured perhaps fatally. They hauled back
Blossom, roaring oUt his oaths at the top Of
his lungs. 1t took half an hours arguing to
calm him down. Then the captain demanded
to know what it was all about And blubber-
ing, Steve told him.
Six hundred feet of water, if I've got my
reckoning right. The anchor lies in sixty feet
but the starboard side drops sheer six hum
dred. You swab Why didn't you bring the
box to me? A man has a right to what he
finds I'd have taken care of it for you till
we got back to port. l know you were
greedy; you thought might want to stick my
fist into your treasure And you'll never find
it in 600 feet of water and tangled, porous
coral. That's what you get for being blamed
hog. As for you," and the captain turned to
Dunkers, get your dunnage and your pay
and hunt for another boat back. I won't have
no murder ON board Captain Manners And
the sooner you go, the better"
"I1l co. SIR" said Dunkers, readily enough.
Had the misfortune happened to him and had
Blossom been the aggressor he would want
his life. He understood. Like the valet in
Olivette," it wus the time for disappearing
An keep out o my way. I'll git y yet,"
growled Blossom.
Keep your mouth shut" said the mats,

SYNOPSIS OF PREvIoU CHAPTERS.

Stanley HnrEreave, millionaire, after q
miraculous escape from the den of the
gang of brilliant thieves known as the
Black Hundred, lives the life of n
eIuse for eighteen years. Hargreave ac-
cidentalIy meets Braine, leader of the
Black Hundred. Knowing Braine will
try to get him, he escapes from his own
home by q balloon. Before escaping he
writes a letter to the girls school where
eighteen years before he mysteriously
left ON the doorstep his baby daughter,
Florence Gray. That day HarEreave
also draws $1,OOO,0OO from the bank, but
1T is reported that this dropped into the
sea when the balloon he escaped In was
punctured.
Florence arrives from the girls school.
Countess Olga, Braine's companion, Wis
its her and claims to be a relative. Two
bogus detectives call, but their plot is
foIIed by Norton, n newspaper man.
By bribins the captain of the Orient
Norton lays n trap for Braine and his
gang. Countess Olga also visits the ORR
ent's captain, and she easily falls into
the reporters snare. The plan proves
abOrtive through Braine's good luck and
only hirelings fall into the hands of the
police.
After falling in their first attempt the
Black Hundred trap Florence. They ask
her for money, but she escapes, again
fOiIinR them.
Norton and the countess call on Flor
ence the next day, once more safe at
home. The visitors having gone, Jones
removes a section of flooring and from
q cavity takes a box. Pursued by menu
bers of the Black Hundred, he rushes to
the water front and succeeds In drop
ping the box into the sea.
Countess Olga succeeds in breaking
the engagement existing between Flor
ence Hargreave and Norton.
AccOmplices of Braine succeed In kid
and hurry her of to sea- She leaps into
the sea and In picked up In a dazed con-
dition by party of fishermen. The
Black Hundred locate her and BraIne,
disguised as her father, succeeds In TAX
Ing her back to with him. Florence
sets fire to the boat and is rescued by n
ship ON which Norton has been shang-
haIed.
Norton and Florence, safely ashore
and with NO longer any misun derstand-
ing between them, take the train for
home. The train is wrecked and waiting
members of the Black Hundred carry
the injured Florence to n deserted hut.
Norton, who tries to rescue her, is tied
10 the railroad tracks. Florence saves
him and finally Jones comes to the res
cue of both.

" You keep out O. my way, that's all. 1'E

Som l." agreed Steve. But his intentions
were not honorable. He proposed to desert
before any fight took place. Not that he was
physically afraid no; he wanted to dig his
hands deep into those doubloons and pieces-of
eight
So the four days down passed otherwise un-
eventually, amid paint pots and iron rust and
three meals n day of pork, onion soup, pota-
toes, and strong, bitter coffee. The winds be-
came light and balmy and the sea blue and
gentle. The men went about in their under
shirts and dungarees, barefooted OF course
the coming fight was the main topic of conver-
sation 1t promised to be rattling good
scrap, for both men were evenly matched, and
both had kick in either hand. Even the
captain took mild interest in the affair. He
was an old sailor. He knew that there was no
such word as arbitration in sailors vocab
ulary; his disputes could be settled only in
one manner, by Ills calloused fists.
When the old mudhook (and some day Steve
was going to buy it and hang it over the en-
trance of the ellison house) slithered down
into the smiling waters of the bay, Steve con-
cluded that discretion was the better part of
valor. He would steal ashore on the quaran-
tine tug which lay alongside. He was willing
to fight under ordinary circumstances, but he
must get his treasure in safety first They
could call him welcher if they wanted to
devil bit did he care. So he pried back the
boards of his bunk wall, took out the box,
eyed it fondly, and noted for the first time
the lettering on it,

Lie "Ehhleu his UFo" III the euort 10 reesill

No matter. He hugged the box under his coat
and made for the gangway and inadvertently
ran into his enemy.
Dunkers caught a bit of the box peeping
out from under the coat
What "a yuh got there?" he demanded
truculently.
None o your damn business You lemme

alton.
