guise he had laid out for shore ap-

had never suspected. He had not rec

when Bannock explained the history
of the shanghaied stoker that he real

be pushed off the board. After this
episode he could no longer keep up
the pretense of being friendly. Nor

forced him out into the open. So be
it. Self-preservation is in no wise
looked upon as criminal. The law may
have its ideas about it, but the in
diYidual recognizes no law but its own.
It was Braine whom he loved and ad-
mired, or Norton whom he hated as
a dog with rabies hates water. With
Norton free. he would never again
dare return to New York openly. This
meddling reporter aimed at his ease
and elegance.
He left the freighter as soon as
boat could carry him ashore. The
railroad, and thither he went at top
speed, to arrive ten minutes too late.
Erect" said Florence, as the train
began to increase its speed.
Norton reached over and patted
her hand. Then he sat back with
sudden shock of dismay. He dived
a hand into pocket, into another and
another. The price OF the telegram
he had sent to Jones was all he had
had in the world; and he had borrowed
that from a friendly stoker. In the
excitement he had forgotten all about
such a contingency as the absolute
need of money.
Florence, I'm afraid we're going to
have trouble with the conductor when
he comes"
"Why?"
He pulled out his pockets sugges-
lively. Not a postage stamp. They'll
put US OF at the next station. And"
with a glance in the little mirror be-

he was wearing the suit substituted
for his own; and Florence, sartorially,
was not much better OF.
She smiled, blushed, stood up, and
turned her back to him. Then she sat
down again. In her hand she held a
small dilapidated roll of banknotes.
Il had them with me when they
abducted me-" she said. Besides,
this ring is worth something"
Thank the Lord" he exclaimed,
relievedly.
So there was nothing more to do
but be happy; and happy they were,
They were quite oblivious to the pecu-
liar interest they aroused among the

young man, in his ragged coat and

glorious blonde hairy awry; and the

CHAPTER XII.

When Jones received the telegram
that Florence was safe, the iron nerve
of the man broke down. The suspense
had been so keenly terrible that the
sudden reaction left him almost hys-
terically weak. Three weeks of wait
ing, waiting. Not even the scoundrel
and his wife who had been the princi-
pal actors In the abduction had been
found. From a great ship in midocean
they had disappeared. Doubtless they
had hidden among the immigrants,
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-
ics. 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
butler into a smile. But he did not
demonstrate with her. In fact, he
rather envied her freedom in emotion.
Man cannot let go in that fashion; it
IS a sign of weakness: and he dared
not let even Susan see any sign of
weakness in him.
So the reporter had found her, and
she was safe and sound and on her
way TO New York? Knowing by this
time something Of the reporters cour-
age, he was eager to learn how the
event had come about When he had
not had a telephone message from
Norton in As hours, he had decided
that the Black Hundred had finally
succeeded in getting hold of him. 1t
had been something of a blow; for
while he looked with disfavor upon
the reporters frank regard for his
charge, he appreciated the fact that
Norton was staff to lean OH, and had
behind him all the power of the press,
which included the privilege of going
everywhere even if one could not al
ways get back.
AS he folded the telegram and put
it into his pocket, he observed the
man with the opera glasses over the
way. He shrugged. Well, let him
watch till his eyes dropped out OF his
head; he would see only that which
was intended for his eyes. Still, it
was irksome to feel that no matter
when or where you moved, watching
eyes observed and chronicled these
movements.
Suddenly, not being devoid OF a
sense Of dry humor, Jones stepped
over to the telephone and called up
her highness the Princess Perigof.
who is it?"
He was forced to admit, however
reluctantly, that the woman had a
marvelously fine speaking voice.
1T is Jones, madam"
"Jones?"
Mr.. Hargreave's butler, madam"
"Oi You have news of Florence?"
Yes" 1t will be an embarrassing
day for humanity when some one in
vents a Photographic apparatus by
which two persons at the two ends Of
the telephone may observe the facial
expressions of each other.
What Is it? Tell me quickly"
Florence has been found, and she
is on her way back to New York. She
was found by Mr.. Norton, the report
er"
Il am so glad! Shall come up at
once and have you tell me the whole
amazing story"

Braine offered Bannock $1,000 to
turn back as far as Boston; and as
Bannock had all the time in the world,
carrying no perishable goods, he con-
scented. But he never could quite I'M
derstand what followed. He had put
Florence and Braine in the boat and
landed them; but when he went down
to see If Braine had left anything be-
hind. he found that individual bound
and gagged in his bunk.

Volcano continued active today and

and ashes. Explosions occurred and

Two further violent eruptions Of

night, causing the collapse of many
more buildings Numbers of the in
habitants Of Kagoshima, who had re-
turned fled again in terror from the
city. Ashes are falling thickly today
The sun looked like ball of blood
ever Kagoshima today. Darkness was
such, that night signals were employ
ed on the railroads. Flying dust was
50 thick that the few pedestrians had
to cover their mouths and noses with
towels to prevent suffocation. The
sea in the Gulf of Kagoshima seem
ed to be boiling and the quantity Of
floating pumic stone was so great
that it prevented navigation.
Bluejackets from the Japanese
fleet today discovered a native craft
containing Is starving refugees. They
reported that owing to the floating
masses of pumice stone and the high
seas they had been unable to steer
their boat and had spent three days
adrift. The bluejackets were able to
reach them only by using a wedge
shaped raft, with which they pierced
a field of pumice stone resembling ice
6loes. Lava today was flowing stead
lily down the sides of the volcano, in
creasing the area of the island as it
solidified on reaching the sea.

Surprise to Leaders.

Washington, Jan. 1.-THE decision

imously a resolution declaring the
meeting regarded with Indignation
