81 don't know"
WELL, we'll; I've given you your
chance. You'll have to try your luck
with the water again"
Florence, weak as she was, set Der
lips.
you don't ask for mercy?" he said
banteringly.
81 should be wasting my breath to
ask for mercy from such a monster as
you are" she answered quickly.
That damned Hargreave nerve!"
he snarled.
He rolled up his sleeves and stepped
toward her. She braced herself but
did not turn her eyes from his. Sud-
denly, from nowhere at all, came a
pair of hands. One clutched the gun
vale and the other laid hold of Braine.
A quick pull followed, and Braine be.
gan to topple. But even as he fell
he managed to fling himself atop his
assailant; and it was only when the
struggle began in the water that he
recognized the reporter. ALI the devil
in him came to the surface and he
fought with the f1erceness Of a tiger
to kill, kill, kill. In nearly every in
stance this meddling reporter had
checkmated him. This time one or the
other Of them should stay in the
water.
Norton recognized that he had a
large order before him to disable
Braine. The recognition between
them was now frank and absolute;
there could never again be any diplo-
matte s~idestepping.
You're a dead man, Norton!"
painted Braine, as he reached for the
reporters throat.
Norton said nothing, but struck the
hand aside. For a moment they both
went under. They came up sputter-
ing, each trying for a hold. 1t was a
terribly enervating struggle.
Florence could do nothing. The
boat In which she sat continued to
drift away from the fighting men.
Once she tried to reach Bralne with
the pole he had been using, but failed.
From the shore came another boat.
For awhile she could not tell whether
1t contained friends or epemies. 1t
was terrible to be forced to wait, alb,
solutely helpless. When she heard the
newcomers call encouragingly to
Braine she know then that the brave
fight of her sweetheart vas going to
come to naught. She knew a little
about motors. She threw on the
power and headed straight toward the
rowboat. The men shouted at her.
but she did not alter her course. The
rowboat had its sides crushed in and
the men went piling into the water.
"Jim." she cried.
Norton suddenly flung of Braine and
began to swim madly for the motor
boat, which Florence had brought
about. Even then 1t was only by the
barest luck in the world that Norton
managed to catch the gunwale. The
rest Of it was simple. When they
finally reached a haven, Florence, odd
ly enough, thought Of the horse she
had left tethered nine miles from the
stables. She laughed Historically.

Dancer Siun,

The National Affiliated Safety organ

designed a metal floor type danger
sign which includes three signals. The
first is a red plate with the word dam

give warning Of overhead danger. Ip
the second signal the arrow Is covered
by a red plate. If there is no danger
the two sections of the sign, which are
hinged at the top, are folded face to

woman had got as far as the door and

gained in swiftness every moment.

Braine thought he really had a clue
to the treasure, and with hts usual
promptness he set about to learn If it
was worth anything. He procured a
launch and began to prowl about, U.s.

ton, who had concluded to hang onto
Braine's trail till he found something
worthy of note. Braine was disguised,
but this time Jim was not to be fooled.
But what was ne looking for, wondered
the reporter? Braine continued to
pole along, sometimes pausing to look
over the gunwale down into the wa
ter. In raising his head after the last
investigation he discerned something
struggling in the water, about three
hundred yards away. The current
~leisurely brought the object into full
view. 1t was a young woman with
just power enough to keep herself
afloat. The golden head reused some
thing in him stronger than curiosity.
1t might be-!
Braine proceeded to move the launch
in the direction of the girl. 1t was
this movement that turned the report
er's gaze. He, too, 10 saw the wom-
an in the water and wondered how
she had come there. When Braine
reached the girl and pulled her into
the launch Jim saw her face plainly.
He flew from his vantage point,
found a skiff, and started after Braine.
"By the Lord Harry" murmured
the rogue. We'll, they a talk OF
ann from heaven, but this Is what
I call luck. Florence. Hargreave, out
Of nowhere, into my arms! The god
Of luck has cast another horseshoe
and it's mine"
He had a flask in his pocket, and
he forced some of the biting spirits
down the girls throat. She opened
her eyes.
well, my beauty
Florence eyed him wildly, not quite
understanding where he had come
from.
:" don't know how you got here"
he said; land l don't care. But here
we are together at last. Where 1s
your father?'
"I-I don't know" dazedly.
Better think quickly" he warned.
II want lucid answers to my cues
tions, or back you 60 into the water.
I'm about at the end Of my rope. I've
been beaten too many times, my GIRL
to have any particular love for you.
Now, where is your father?"
81 don't know; I have seen
him."
Braine laughed.
And Jim's boat ran afoul some rocks
and into the water he went. He had
not attracted Braine's attention, for
tunately. He began to swim toward
the drifting launch.
