Quicksilver.

Out of the sea at sunset, bearing in
his arms a burden, staggering up upon
the shore of the Lost Isle of CHINA
bar-there strobe man. Behind him,
silhouetted against the horizon, was
a small sailboat, deserted and strand
ed on Sandbar.
The man was the Portuguese adven-
turer, Hernandez. The burden in his
arms was a woman, and the woman
was Inez Castro, his companion.
He dropped her gently to the
ground, and she lay there for an in
slant, well spent, half exhausted.
Then she, too, staggered to her feet.
This" cried Hernandez, "is Lost
island. We are in possession-and
possession is nine points of the law
The god of chance has favored us
so far, little one, and SO long as the
god of chance joins with Hernandez,
Hernandez wins"

Their and I am afraid-afraid."
Already Hernandez had bounded
across the clearing, turned corner
of the crumbling ruin and was on his
way. Within the next few moments
he was standing on the edge of what
seemed to be a crater of volcano
a huge pit that seemed to belch forth
fire.
But it was not volcano and it did
not be1ch forth fire. It was CHINA
bar mine-or a series OF clnnabar /
mines-pits cut into the surface OF
the earth and illumined by brush fires.
Hernandez crouched upon the edge
of this huge man-made crater and
watched the scene with interest. In
each pit half a dozen men or more
worked away like ants, their shadows
flung against the walls in fantastic
shapes

glancing at his patient held his foun-
tain pen poised in air.

said.
The matter-of-fact tone reused the
patient from dangerous reverie.

A few days later Ilington, clean

souri,. He was handsome man-as
handsome as he had been some thir-
teen years before-save that time had
carved deep lines upon his face. His
forehead still was bandaged.

so often raised to strike her down.

ashore. Neal was a close second.
Two sailors carried Mrs. Hardin
through the shallow water. A lieuten-
ant leaped out with Ilington, and
bounded to dry land.
It was two hours later that Annette,
pursuing hairless little tropical ami

Her heart leaped into her throat.
Upon her person she carried sure

found it in excellent condition. Then
she turned her glance once more up

after treasure. He reached the edge
of the artificial crater and crept down
a ladder and plunged into the treasure
cave. He plunged his hands-his
arms, into the living quicksiIver-he
tossed it into the air.

cried, this is mine-all mine"
He started suddenly. Across the pit
there was lull. And then the deadly
crack-crack-crack of rifles.
"Re-enforcements,' he muttered.
He was right. One boatload of ma
rines had reached the shore in another
launch, had plunged through the thick

in the nick of time.
