The Return of Inez Castro.

Out of that holocaust-the useless
conflagration that destroyed the old
Hardin cottage at Seaport-Annette
saved something. She saved the links
that bound the present to the past

one with the little child who had been
saved years before from the ruin of
St. Pierre.

Hernandez pointed toward the door

Before Welcher was able to report
to Hernandez or to Inez Castro at
Courtier villa. in Newport, other
things happened.
A. week later Neal Hardin, in his
apprenticeship seaman UNIFORM, hur'
ried from his training ship to the rail-
road station in Newport, and waited
half an hour for a belated train. he
was unprepared for the sight that met

was superb. Neal seized as manly SUIT

Where are you going?" she demand
ed. This is our vehicle. Pile in"
It was a huge gray motor car.
"Yours?" queried Annette.
Notwithstanding the fact that lnez
had never seen the car before, she
nodded.
One of mine," she said.
At the villa Inez turned her guests
loose and babe them do as they
pleased. Neal and Annette immediate
ly left the pleasing hut unnecessary
society of the others and wandered
through the rose-lined paths behind
the house.
Annette started suddenly. Look,
look Quick" she commanded.
Neal looked Fifteen PAGES to his
right there was clump of bushes,
and peering from this clump OF
bushes there was human face, sin
lister, forbidding. Without word
Neal leaped in the direction of the
face and lodged around the bushes.

Neal retraced his steps and Annette
handed him scrap Of paper that the
man had dropped during the struggle.
It was a crumpled bit of letter. and
what there was of it read like this

at the "crooked Crag" and
that the place is safe. Ten pounds

Neal, breathlessly. "He was the SNUG
gler that got away that night in Sea
port. I remember him particularly by
the scar upon his face"
Annette started. Il had forgotten,
she returned. The scar upon his

Welcher, upon the advent Of Inez
Castro. had left the room. Inez had
handed him a slip of paper-one that
he was anxious to peruse. He went
below to read it, 1t was another little
seductive note from her, asking him
to meet her once again at their tryst-
ing place-Lonesome Cove inn, three
miles south Of Seaport.
Fortified with proper stimulants,
Welcher made his way at once to that
hosiery.
At last she came. Welcher sprang
forward and caught her in his arms.

She looked up She rose. The door

And Neal is-?" queried Inez. Mrs.
Hardin told her-at the Naval Train

Inez clapped her hands. The long
arm of coincidence" she cried; my
father and l, we have our little villa
at Newport, as you had your little
cottage at Seaport. And you shall

visit me-and you Annette Ilington-

1t is to be said of Inez Castro that
she was universally resourceful. She
had nc father. And as for villa at
Newport-she had never thought of
such thing until that instant. Her
villa at Newport was castle in the
air.

It was strange, for at first glance the
map seemed quite worth while. 1t
was traced upon an ancient piece OF
parchment old and yellow. At the
top was this inscription:
LOST ISLE OF CINNABAR
"Cinnabar," repeated Mrs. Hardin.
Seems to me I've heard of such an
island
Annette shook her head. I've looked
it up. Cinnabar is not place, it's
nothing but an ore
The older woman continued her
scrutiny Here's the mine marked
on the island with a cross-what kind
of mine-what's cinnabar?"
Quicksilver ore" returned the girl
1T must be quicksilver mine"
Nothing else upon it, except the
words Stone CASTLE nothing else"
The girl sprang to her side. yes,
said the girl, these two other words

She placed her finger upon them.
They were two small words near the
lower left-hand corner Of the map:
Latitude
Longitude.
Yes" went on Mrs. Hardin, but
what latitude and what longitude"
Annette smiled. That's the point,
it doesn't say. That's what I've got
to find out, but I'll find out, never
fear"
Mrs. Hardin lit lamp, placed the
map fatty upon the table, and exam
