CHAPTER XII.

When Jones received the telegram
that Florence was safe, the iron nerve
Of the man broke down. The suspense
had been 80 keenly terrible that the
sudden reaction left him almost hys-
terically weak. Three weeks Of wait

pal actors in the abduction had been

who, for little money, would have
fooled all the officers on board. There
was no doubt in Jones' mind that the
pair had landed safely at Madrid.
As for Susan, she did have hyster-
les. She went about the room, wailing
and laughing and %wringing her hands.
You would have thought by her actions
that Florence had just died. The sight
of her stirred the saturnine lips of the

down again. In her hand she held a

So there was nothing more to do
but be happy; and happy they were.
They were, qrRse ,oblivious to the pecu-

other passengers. This unshaven

Braine %thereupon rushed forward to
seize Florence. Barnes swung Flor
ence behind him.

Time was vital, and this o~bstinacy
made Braine furious. He reached
again for Florence.

held it aloft.

Norton hesitated. AS 1.-the as a IT,

Ye were due for a wallopin' but l

So Jim stumbled down to the cooks
gallery and grimly set to work at the
potatoes. 1t might have been far
worse. But here he was, likely to be
on the high seas for months. and no
way of notifying Jones what had hap
pened. The outlook was anything but
cheerful. But a vague hope awoke in
his heart. If they were still after him
might it not signify that Florence
lived.
Meantime Braine had not been idle.
According to Vroon the girls memory
was in bad shape; so he had not the
least doubt Of bringing her back to
New York without mishap. Once he
had her there the game would begin
in earnest. He played his cards x
ceedingly we'll. Steaming up into the
little fishing harbor with a handsome
yacht in itself would .allay any dis
trust. And he wore a capital disguise,
too. Everything went we'll till he
laid his hand on Florence's shoulder.

to Barnes, clinging to him wildly.

Now what, my child?" asked the
sailor.
She shook her head. Her aversion
was inexplicable.
Come, my dear; can't you see that
it is your father?" Braine turned to

for a year. Heaven knows if she'll
ever be In her right mind again."
sadly. II was giving her an ocean

Come, Florence"
The girl wrapped her arms all the
tighter around Barnes neck.
An idea came into the old sailors
head. "Of course, sir, we got proof
tibet she's your daughter?"
"Proof?", Braine was taken aback.

Florence was described minutely. The
stranger teetered In his chair and
smoked. Finally he spoke.
"She probably was insane. That's
the way generally with insane people.
They can't e water or look OF a

My business Is insurance, and we've
got the thing figured pretty close to

wife. But nowadays a policy is not

You amt tryin' to insure anybody
In town, are you?"
"Oh, no. No work for me when
I'm on my vacation. Well, I'm going
to bed; and tomorrow morning I'll go
out to Captain Barnes beach and have
q good swim. I'm no sailor, but ] like
water"
He honestly enjoyed swimming.
Early the next morning he was in the
water, frolicking about as playfully as
a boy. He had all the time in the
world. Over his shoulder he saw two
women wandering down toward the
beach. Deeper he went, farther out.
He was a bold swimmer, but that did
not prevent a sudden and violent attack
Of cramps. And it was a raj piece
of irony that the poor girl should save
the life Of that scoundrel who was
without pity or mercy. AS she saw
his face a startled frown marred her
brow. But she could not figure out the
puzzle. Had she ever seen the man
before? She did not know, she could
not tell. Why could not she remem-
Der? Why must her poor head ache 80

tally?
The man thanked her feebly, but
not in his heart. When he had suffi-
ciently recovered he returned to the
village and sought the railway station,
where the Western Union had its Of
fee.
"I want to send a code message to
my firm. Do you think you can fol-

II can try" said the operator.
The code was really Slav; and when
the long message was signed 1t was
signed by the name Yroon.
The day after the news came that
Florence had jumped overheard of
the banks, Vroon with a dozen other
men had started out to comb all the
fishing villages along the New Eng
land coast. Somewhere along the way
he felt confident that he would learn
whether the girl was dead or alive.
If she was dead then the game was a
draw. but if she was alive there was
still a fighting chance for the Black
Hundred. He had had some idea cl re-
naming in the village and accomplish
ing the work himself; but after DELHI

She had reached that part where
they had been rescued by Captain Ban

horror rose and died away as the a
careened over on it's side. The three
were rendered unconscious and were
huddled together on the floor, under
the uprooted chairs.
Vroon had escaped with only q slight
cut on the hand from flying glass. He
climbed over the chairs and passen-
gers with a single object in view. He
saw that all three he was Interested
in were insensible. He quickly exam
ined them and saw that they had not
received serious injuries. He had but
little time. The princess and Norton
would have to take their change with
the other passengers. Resolutely he
stooped and lifted Florence in his
arms and crawled out Of the car WITH
her. 1t was a difficult task, but he
managed it. Outside, in the confusion,
no one paid any attention to him. SO
he threw the UNCONSCIOUS girl over
his shoulder and staggered on TOWARD
the road.
