 For moment he studied her meditatvely She felt an icy chill running up ana d1~n her mine. Would he sec the frantic man upor the ,hore? Would he hesitate? Would he noj ne- lieye her when she told him the tuih regarding the documents? Would he turn pack and force her to return the papers?

She opened the door ani Ensign Howell entered.

 "Mss-Miss-" he stammered, "why did you send me away from the appointment? The Cap '2ia wishes to speak with you and when you tell biu, the truth. it will appear as though T."
 You need have no fear" she answered quiet ly. ignoring the expression of the man which ;old her that even his dread of a reprmand iron, his superior of far less consequence. thaa her opinion of him. "Will you kindly con- Guct to the Captain l will explain every thing"
 The Captain of the Terror regarded her steadily as she was brought before him. Seated at his desk. in the very throne of his authority, azpower that ruled the depths of the ocean, with :he young Ensign at his side heels together, toes and chest out in rigid stern attention. Lucille felt him a very much more formidable being than when she met him the deck. This man was her enemy, would be her enemy until the question of possession of the fapers had been thoroughly threshed out.
 ''Your name, please?' queried the commander sHcrty.
 Lucille felt a thrill of pride running through h>r, taking possession of every particle of space within her slender body. Her name-that the beginning and end of it all, the weeks of peril privation. hardship. danger. Her the of Love. the that this and the great government which ruled the flag under which this boat of the seas sailed, had and was endeavoring to traduce.
 My name sir she said quite simply, yet with tremolo of pride unnistakable lis Lucille Love-daughter of General Sumpter Love, United States Army"
 As though the two voices had been one the Captain and his junior burst forth in the clamation. Lucille merely smiled she saw the wondering incredulity upon their faces change to of understanding then of resolve for fare.
 The commander held out his hand.
 q am in receipt of orders from Washing ton" he said quietly "to meet Hugo Loubeque, who would turn to certain papers and orders which he received from Washington while in command at Manila, and which he sold"
 Its lie!' Lucille's voice had no tremolo now Instead it rang against the sides of the cabin with vibrant force that made the two men start violently
 Yes, lie" she repeated, quieting the fury which was racdng her. "My father did receive the papers. There a military ball in progress at the time. He gave them to his aide. Leuten- ant Gibson, my fancee, to put in the safe That night they stolen by servant in the en- ploy of Hugo Loubeque; stolen, l tell you, not sold''
 The Commander nodded coldly.
 Your contention is a matter for the Court O. Inquiry to thresh out under orders to receive the packet of papers and take them to that court, together with the affidavit of Hugo Loubeque that they sold to him. If they are in your possession, I will take them if not, l shall be forced to turn back and find MT. Lou beque."
 The papers are in my possession, sir. They belong to until I turn them to my father, to whom they sent What he will do with them is matter for the Court of h. quiry to decide"
 That is quite impossible" the man snapped sharply. 'In the first place. your story is quite incredible-Lucll" Love drowned when the Empress took fire"
 Lucille Love is here, sir. Lucille Love was aboard the Empress, flew there with Mr. Harley, the government aviator because she knew from message she cut in upon the telephone that Hugo Loubeque aboard the Empress and that he had the papers. Ever since, through jungle, desert. land and water I have followed him I have seen the spy's diary. It is here with the papers always. That will show his hatred for my father That will explain. That will prove my story"
 Even the Captain nodded, rising to his feet to eagerly watch the girls frantic search through the packet. all a-quiver himself to have her prove her so unmistakably, littie dry sob broke from her lips. As the lily droops upon it's stem, did the slender figure of the girl s4cvy sinl1-sink-
