He returned her gaze sheepishly,

Harcourt had keenly developed

which saved him from utter despair
az that moment.
Raising her finger to her lips, Adele
cautioned him 20 be silent, and in a
whisper told him TO follow her. Har.

beckoned again Then he followed

Good Loydln Benson exclaimed.
Now you understand my wish TO

his word not 10 leave the country. In
fact. there may even be warrant

Benson stood there silently, look

thinking, formulating a plan In his
own mind-one that appealed TO him
strongly. The ships bell changed
sharply. interrupting his thought, and
he turned to Haroourt with a start.
IL don't know" he said slowly.
There's almost no chance, and I'm
taking my life in my hands when do
it--but Th see what can be done"
You'll have 10 take your chances

told him. HBut once you ara on shore

any chance OF putting this over I'll
let you know. Don't question me

He threw his cigar into the sea and

and Cornish. with a yawn, announced
his intention OF turning in. Harcourt,
too. retired to his cabin, but he did
not undress He switched on the small
reading light by the little corner table.
and opened the drawer where he had
hidden Benson's revolver. With an ex-
clamation OF surprise he turned out
the contents OF the compartment. but
the revolver was not there.
A dull sense of disappointment
came over him and his heart sank.
The plot had been discovered and the
attempt would fail. After moments
thought, however, he laughed at his
fears. Naturally his every movement
was watched and the revolver, having
been found In his cabin, had been con-
hsoated There was nothing in that
by itself to prove that the projected
mutiny was suspected,
Turning out the light he crossed TO
the portfolio and looked out. He could
hear the splashing OF the sea against
the yachts sides, but there was no
! other sound. He struck match and
looked az his watch. 1t was 10 minutes
to IL. The time was close al hand
now and he waited breathlessly in
I the darkness as the match burned
4 close to his fingers and went out,
I Without moving he stood against the
cabin wall, listening for the first in
dication OF activity outside. Then,
\ after an interminable time. he struck
another match. II was just FIVE min
utes since he had looked before, and
the hands Of the watch seemed
stationary as he eazed at the gold
dial. He held the watch to his ear.
Il licked regularly and he smiled at
his Impotence
Finally he tiptoed across the cabin
and went out into the passageway
All was still and he made hts way
quietly along to Cornish's door and
waited there. The remembrance
that ne was unarmed came to him alb
ruptly, and he realized his utter help
lessness against this man of gigantic
strength. yet he knew. too, that hC
could not have used the revolver i
he had IL. and his mere possession
of Il would never have intimated {

'oh. no indeed. Benson Is much too
mild a villain for that. He told me he

marrying him. and that before he had
always been too poor TO ask me, but
he explained that on the money he

CHAPTER XIV.
MUTINY ON BOARD.

At breakfast the next morning,
Harcourt watched Cornish and Adele
carefully. II had occurred TO him
that Benson might repent and report
their conversation 10 his CHEZ. but II
the two did know anything Of the mat
ter they gave no signs OF it. The
thought that the success OF his plan
might implicate Cornish when his
action should come 10 MacBee's at
tenton, also disturbed Harcourt, and
angry as he was al being held a
prisoner, he appreciated his abductors'
motive, and wished no harm to come
10 them.
When the meal was over he walked
on the deck with Adele for more than
an hour, trying hard to conceal the
impat!eneo no folt. AT last, however,
she lett him, and shortly, 70 his in
tenEe satisfaction, BENSON approached
and nodded pleasantly They were
standing apart on the after deck and
although striving to convey the inn
prassi6n that their conversation was
purely casual one. Benson signalled
TO Harc6urt that he had something
important to say
! one OF the seamen passed and Har-
court commented upon the weather,
but as soon as he had gone, Benson
stepped closer, and pretending to
point out something OFF the port bow,
said 81 think what you wish may be
possible"
Haroourt's pulse leaped. What
have you done?" he asked.
Found I'VE of the Grew who will

tone. With you and me that II seven.

SUFFRAGETS DENY KNOWING
WOMAN WHO STARTLED KING
London, June S. Suffraget officers
of the Women's Social and Political
Union claimed ignorance of the iden-
tity of the youthful militant who last
night broke into the court at Buck
ingham Palace and sadly upset the
decorum of that traditional function.
There were so many versions of
the affair. current that it was diff
cult to say what happened While
the debutantes, British and Ameri-
can, were being presented to their
majesties, a young woman stepped
forward and fell on her knees before
