Since when did you set up to be Q judge of possibilities? Nothing prob able ever happened to you in all your yong life-'s far's I can make out. As for mel know there are at least two life-saving stations on Nauset. both with modern equipment-motor life boats and all; and nothing will ever persuade me that pack of wolves would stick at breaking in and confis- eating one of the same. It's as likely as not-only more so. Our present business is to get the h--l out of here and not advertise our exit, either. Take that port light in and dowse it, while l do the same by the starboard. Then duck below, warn your Dulcinea, and put out the cabin lamp. That way if this blackness and our bull-luck , only holds-we may manage an eva. sion!"
 There followed an exceedingly busy quarter of an hour for two constrained in pitch darkness to grope their way about the decks and faminarize them selves with the idiosyncrasies of a strange two-master. Nevertheless. the end of that period found the schooner with canvas full and sheets taut. a good easterly breeze aheam. swiftly weaving 6 wake southWards tho light on Monomoy point watching her curi- ously from over the starboard beam
 Hear anything more of that power | boat?" Alan asked, joining Barcus by the wheel
 "NothinS-wind too fresh. Max, l yourself easy on the soft side of plank here. I'll land you kick i, the slats when so minded-or wher it's your trick at the wheel" With a chuckle, Alan obediently stretched himself out on the deck.
 T say-Law!"
 "Wel?"
 You seem pretty easy in your mind about this young woman below IT. me, she's the same that tried to send me to Davy Jones locker How does she explain her presence aboard?"
 Much as l surmised," Alan replied. q fancy they chloroformed her while she slept in that hotel in Portland. 1 Whether or no, Rose woke up in Q closed motor car-bound and gagged, of course-and was brought aboard at | Gloucester about midnight"
 Simple when you know how" Bar GUS commented. "Of course, l always did say that truth was a stranger to fiction Cuddle down. now, and I'll talk you insensibe"
 His accents already merging in with the swish of the longside waves, the bubbling of the wake. and the many toned composite voice of the ship in being unconsciousness like cloud descended upon Alan's overwearied

{ rough -andready garb of a fisherman was Judith Trine.
 Down the side 8 heavy life-boat around it's way astern, the loose end of it's painter slipping over the rail even as Alan caught sight of it. tSo it seemed Barcus had guessed shrewd- lyD
 Observing this, one of the men in charge of Alan made as if to leave him to the other, addressing Judith for permission to prevent the loss of the lfeboat She stopped him with a perembtory gesture.
 "No-let it go. We're better off without it. Hold that man fast till I fetch rope. We'll make sure of them both this time!" Straining forward in the grasp of her guard, Rose implored her sister: Judith, in pity's name. think what you are do:ngl"
 Hold your tonguei" Judith snapped viciously. Another whimper out Of you, and I'll have you gagged"
 The balance of her threat, though accompanied by the exhibition of an automatic pistol. was drowned out by the sudden roar of a steamship fog signal, sc close aboard that it seemed almost to emaaate from the forepart of the schooner herself
 As it WAS answered by shrill and hoarse cries of terror or of warning from a dozen throats. Alan found him self released, his captors leaping for their lives to the taffrail.
 He caught an instantaneous glimpse of the knife-like bow of a great steam CT towering above the two-masteS- sweeping toward it at speed which raised a smart jet of white under the cutwater
 Someone aboard the schooner, with the voice of a stentor, beloved a ter gifed appeal:
 Stop your engines! Shut or your propeller! Stop your"
 Then like the wrath of God, the steamship overwhelmed the lesser ship; it's bow seemed to slice through the schooner as a knife through cheese. And the two halves were fairly driven under water by the frightful force of the blow. Thunders deafening him, Alan was hurled bodily through the air fully twenty feet.
 When he came up he struck out at random, blindly tormented by the vision of Rose caught in the suck of

l second impact of shoulders backed by a hundred and eighty pounds of scld flesh and determination, the lock splln- tered away from it's socket. the door 1 flew open with a bang-ari Alan into the room with a cry: "Rose!" His sweetheart met him halfway, her arms uplifted. her cCuutepalce transfigured
 And Mir. Barcus turned and slowly ascended the companiCnway, his nose wrinkled with mis6iyings,
 "Blest if l know how he thinks he can tell 'em apart, he remarked Not that l blame him for taking a chance; it wouldn't pain me any to find out I'd kissed the wrong girl by mistake not, that is. unless she didn't care for my technique
 "ln that case" he allowed. T guess the sequel would be apt to prove tol- erable ag0nizing!"
 Some ten minutes later a hail from the deck broke the embrace of the lovers
 Below therei I say-Law!-winl a-coming!"
 "Right-o! Half a minute!"
 But that stipulated delay was sev- eral times multiplied before Alan showed up on deck to find Barcus bending laborious back to the cap stan.
 Lend a hand. cant you?" Barcus complained, blowing heavily. T didn't interrupt your amours just to get an audience. The sooner we get this anchor in"
 Alan checked him with a hand on his arm. Whats that?" he demanded in tone tense with apprehension.

 He woke mutinously, with a yawn and s shiver in the gray of a tarnished daybreak, Co find that fog pressed heavily upon the face of the waters, a mist so thick that from the stern the waist of the vessel was almost inyis- ible, the bows completely SO
 Barcus stood over him, aft the wheel, fairly reeling with weariness, his eyes blcod-shot. swollen, and half-closed in a face like a, mask of fatigue
 Cant keep this up much longer" :" he apologized thickly; "stood it about as long as can Take your trick and give me forty wlnks"
 Grateful solicitude brought Alan in- stantly to his side, though he himself was sluggish and stiff and sore in all his limbs
 You're brickl" he protested Why didn't you call me sooner%
 No good; knew the way--you didn't. That is, l did until this ac- cursed fog closed down a couple of hours ago Now-God knows where we are-by my reckoning, somewhere in Nantucket sound, west of Moao- moy"
 Grasping small brass handle affixed to the wheel box, he jerked it sharply three times. and the automatic horn blared raucously a threeiold re- sponse up forward.
 Keep that going" he begged, three blasts in a row and a minute interval-and if the devil takes caro of his own we may possibly escape be- ing run down"
 With Q sigh. rel.r auishing the wheel, he collapsed upon the deck and was almost instantly asleep.

 Aware of several dark objects dot ting the surface within a radius of several yards, he swan for the near est; the head was a womans, the face turned toward him, the face of Rose.
 He gasped wildly: Keep cool! Don't struggle! Put enc hand on my shoul- der and"
 What happened then was never quite clear to him; he only knew that he was forced to fight for his very life that the woman, as soon as he came within reach, flung herself upon him like some maddened animal. clutching his throat, winding her limbs round bis, dragging him down and down.
 Primitive instinct alone saved him. He remembered later, most vaguely, the culminatiOn of that duel beneath the waters-remembered freeing an arm, drawing it back, delivering a blow from his shoulder, with all his strength, finding himself free, strug- gling back tc the air.
 Then boathook caught the back Of his shirt and dragged him for some distance, until two strong hands caught him beneath the armpits and held his head above the water
 He looked up witlessly into the face of Barcus, and, still bewlldered, strug. gled feebly.
 The others voice brought him back to his senses. Easy, old top! Take it easy! You're all right now-rest a minute, then help me get you aboard"
 He ,obeyed, controlling his panic as best he might; and presently. with considerable assistance from Barcus. contrived to scramble in over the gum wales of a boat which proved to be the stolen lifcboat.

 4 silence commenced eloquently on tLis assertion, broken only when Mir Law voiced a thought bred of long and malignant observation of the schoon- CTS green eye.

 But the steamer"
 "Whx fret about her? At the pace she was making she couldn't have stopped within half mile. We'll be all right now-with power to fetch us to land"
 But the others-Judith!" Alan sat up and leaned over the gunwale. searching an oily, leaden expanse spot. ted only with few splinters and bits of wreckage. 'I left her out there unconscious-shell drown, tell youl"
 And I'll tell you somethingi" said Mir. Barcus severely. You'll lie quiet and shut up or I'll dent your dome with the shaft of an oar Let her drown and a good job, sayl Don't you know the meaning of enough? Merciful heavens, man, you're the most insa- tiable glujton for punishment eyer!"
 But Alan wasn't listening. His face was as hshtless as the waters that swam beneath his lack !uster gaze There was a horror in his heart that numbod even the sense of relief, of deliverance, that penetrated his being like a shock of mortal pain.

CHAPTER XIV.
A Double Escape.

On Nauset Beach in the shank of a midsummer night, two men sprawled on the sands, some distance back from the water, and listened to the heavy humping of their overtaxed hearts. and panted.
 Now and again one would lift his head and stare out over the black face of the waters at a little line of red dish flames about a mile off shore. all that remained to witness to the fact that, an hour since, these two had been in command of as trim a small schooner as ever ventured the coast wise trip from Portland to New York. As far out again shone the star board light of a becalmed schooner, whose people had been directly respon- sible for the disaster which had over taken the smaller vessel.
 In the course of time, beginning to breathe with more ease. one of the two marooned gentlemen said:
 What l cant underst rstand-anyway --is why these damned thugs out there thought we'd he asses enough to stay aboard the Seaventure and get burned up"
 The other replied: Did they?"
 Looks that way-doesn't it? Ii they didn't, why were we permitted to swim ashore at cur elegant leisure There was nothing to prevent theiI rowing round to cut us off"
 Maybe they did. at that, and missed us, Mr. Law-and-Order!"
 "Dut--''
 'We were wee mite excited you've got to admit. It's just possible wt didn't hear the noise of their oars And it's black enough for them tc have overlooked us. A mans head in the water isn't really conspic uous object on clark night"

 Mir Law groaned soulfully
 "Then there's the lighthouse or Monomoy point" MT. Barcus pursued three miles to the south"
