 The rattle of muskets brought her out of the fit of abstraction into which she had fallen. She shrank away in the shadow of a packing case, squeez- ing herself into as small space as pos sible, her breath coming fast as she saw the officer who commanded the squad of soldiers march up the gang plank justsas the captain descended to inquire what his business was. Then the tall figure of Hugo Loubeque ap- peared beside the pair, offering to translate the soldiers words.
 E'He is hunting an American girl I left i'll in the town. 1t appears she shot and wounded her nurse and bound a Chinese soldier, taking his clothes and making her escape said the spy.

 Again Loubeque turned to the soldier, but the man shook his head vehemently.
 ''He must search the vessel. Those are his orders,'' interpreted the spy, then, you really can't blame him, cap tain.''
 The officer nodded consent, adding grimly that he would stand for any thing that did not entail delaying the boats sailing on schedule.
 AS the eavesdropping girl watched the soldiers march the gangplank and disappear in different parts of the boat according to the instructions given them by their superior, she could see from the spy's words that he would not delay his own departure to assist her; that once more his motive of re- venge was all dominant in his nature; that tenderness for the daughter of the woman he loved would never again interfere with the carrying out of his plans.
 Surely, some power greater than that of even the international spy was look ing over and defending her! She bow ed her head in mute gratitude
 She was reused from the mood by a Hurried elamor aboard the boat. The coolies were working madly now, while upon the deck she saw signs of ac-
