group behind him, he finally reached
the third-story room.
IF the doctor is about, will you
send him?" said Annette, bowling the
proprietor and his two men from the
room.
"At once, mademoiselIe," said the
proprietor, with low bow.
There was a knock upon the door.
Come in,'' said Annette.
Two men entered, one of whom, 2
man with a neatly-trimmed Van Dyke
beard, drew Annette to the window,
inquiring gravely about the case.
While her attention was thus occupied
the other man seized the recumbent
figure upon the bed and bore it from
the room. Annette caught a glimpse
of his huge shoulders just as he dis
appeared.
What is he doing?" she demanded
where is he taking her to?"
The other man bowed. "To a ply
sician," he returned, "as you re-
quested.''
He crossed the room and destly
locked the door, putting the key in hfa
pocket.
But you are a physician ex-
claimed Annette, alarmed.
He tore from either side of his face
thin strip of hair, leaving beneath it
smooth shaven jewels. He still wore
mustache and goatee. Then he turned
to her, and his face was the face OF
the man in the shrubbery at the New
port villa, the face of the smuggler
of cocaine, captured at Seaport and
escaped again.
Il am not a physician" he conceded.
DO you know who l amp
NO" she answered ,retreating to
corner
He laughed. 81 am man with a
saber cut upon my face" he said,
pointing to it. "You were to look out
for me- Here l am. Look out
What do you want of me?" she
demanded.
Hernandez lit cigarette. Moth

She started Where is my father?"
she demanded.
Hernandez shrugged his shoulders.
Dead these many years; God rest his
soul,'' he said Il was his surviving
partner and to me belongs the assets
of the firm. One of those assets you
carry on your person next your heart,
the map of the Lost Isle of Cinnabar.

terloper leaped upon it's step, opened
the door and flung himself inside, CIV
ing a quick order to the driver
Neal retraced his steps and Annette
handed him a scrap of paper that the
man had dropped during the struggle.
1t was a crumpled bit of letter, and
what there was of it read like this:
note you are now located
at the "Crooked Crag" and
that the place is safe. Ten pounds
heroin shipped today. The consign-
ment of cocaine follows Immediately.
ibid you recognize that man." said
Neal, breathlessly. "He was the SNUG
gler that got away that night in Sea-
port / remember him particularly by
the scar upon his face"
Annette started. 81 had forgotten"
she returned. "The scar upon his

proof of identity and presentation of
this map"
Annette stared at it. "Jove!" she
finally exclaimed. Lost Isle Is Lost
Isle no more, thanks to tea kettle
full Of boiling water; but, look, look,
1t fades again"
Fades as it cools," said Mrs. Har-
din.
The door opened stealthily. Joe
Welcher entered. Joey" cried An
nette thoughtlessly, tell us-where's
Is degrees latitude. You can pass
examinations. And 123 degrees lcngi-
tude. Right off the reel"
Joe Welcher mistook the inquiry for
mere airy persifage. He failed en-
tireIy to connect it with the map. He
strobe to the table. The map still lay
there but now upon it's face APPEARED
none of the recently revealed insctip-
tions, it was as blank as it had been
before. Welcher's fingers itched to
get hold of the map. He needed it in
his business, for his business just now
was keeping out of trouble. He
stretched forth hand to take it.
'You and your old map" he said,
with an attempt at POPULARITY, "it's like
game Of solitaire. Let me look at
it again"
Annette folded it up and thrust it
into her bosom. Not so, joey" she
returned. Its never going to leave
my possession again. It's precious
to me now"
A sudden light broke in upon Joes
understanding. He peered at her cum
ningly. Whats that you were say
ing about latitude and longitude?" he
queried.
Never you mind, joey" laughed
Annette, "all in good time you'll know.
What's on your mind?"
How did you know anything was
on my mind" replied Welcher. "Well,
you're right. There's an old friend
of yours downstairs, just come over
from New York-Miss Irene Cour-
tier"
We'll tidy up, then you can show
her up" said his foster mother She
swept Annette's belongings into a
huge old-fashioned valise. She had no
sooner finished than Inez Castro en-
tered the arena Of events.
Il read about it, just line in the
shore notes Of New York paper

stroyed; you saved nothing, as l un-
derstand?"
Nothing but Annette's valuables,"
returned Mrs. Hardin.
What next do you do-where now
do you go?" inquired Inez
Mrs. Hardin's eyes glowed. give
shall go to Neal; for the present any
way, we have no other plans. We
can live near him for a little while at
least"
And Neal is-?" queried Inez. Mrs.
Hardin told her-at the Naval Train
ing school at Newport.
Inez clapped her hands "The long
arm of coincidence" she cried; my
father and |, we have our little villa
at Newport, as you had your little
cottage at Seaport. And you shall
visit me, as l visited you. You shall
visit me-and you Annette Ilington-
at my villa, in Newport. Good"
1t is to be said of Inez Castro that
she was universally resourceful. She
had no father. And as for a villa at
Newport-she had never thought of
such thing until that instant. Her
villa at Newport was a castle in the
air.

CHAPTER XIX.
At Crooked Crag.

Hernandez, the gentleman adventur-
er, the clever smuggler of cocaine
and heroin, established his headquar-
tiers at the Crooked Crag. The pro-
prietor recognized him for what he
was; there was a secret compact, un-
spoken, but well understood, between
the two.
Hernandez had located himself in
the secret, sound proof room at
Crooked Crag. He was talking over
the telephone.
ut was a false move" he conceded.
Il should have steered clear of your
Newport villa If it hadn't been for
the apprentice seaman, l might have
turned a trick. AS it is, I am afraid
to show myself. I think we will have
to wait for our yellow-blooded friend
to return from his failure at Annapo-
lis"
With the scrap of paper in his pos
session Neal had excused himself to
Inez, and had started back to his
training station with definite pur-
pose in view Once arrived there, he
handed the crumpled slip of paper to
the officer in command and told his
story
But all this went on unknown to
Hernandez He had not missed the
scrap of paper.
Half an hour later on a wharf in
Newport there drew up a very capable
little motor boat Inez and her young
friend, Annette Ilington, boarded her.

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
hostelry.
At last she came. Welcher sprang
forward and caught her in his arms.
You've got to let me see you often
often, do you understand" he said.
Let me tell you, charming one,"
said Inez, that what happens cannot
be helped by me. l have husband,
have | not? A hard master, this Her
nandeZ. When he commands, l must
obey. If I fail"
She looked up. She rose. The door
was still shut, but within the ROOM
crouching behind Welcher, were three
terlopers-Hernandez and his two
companions, Ponto and the brute.
What are you doing here?" cried
Welcher, stepping back. Il thought
l locked the door"
You are fond of locking doors,
friend Welcher," said Hernandez, but
this time you merely turned the key
"a key which doesn't lock. l have
rights here, imagine. Since my wife
sees MT to enter, l enter also. May
inquire of my fair wife," he proceeded
suavely, what the heiress, Annette
lllngton, intends to do?''
None of your business snapped
Joe Welcher, in return.
May | inquire of you, sir, then,
went on Hernandez, what you intend
to do?"

M. Chesneau points out that the

They produced their violet glass

manganese. Had they purified it they
would have got rid Of the copper and
the cobalt that are found in the ore,
and the result would have been tints
of far less purity.
Their red glass, the secret of which
was lost for many centuries and that
is equaled now only by that made with
