that some trick was being played

was revealed and she was overjoyed

attention accorded her. At one

beautiful and bountiful repast, Mrs.
Fair and her companion occupying
seats at the head and her only

to create all possible delays. Do
not fail US now.
That night at dusk, Joe Welcher
lounging on the deck of the small
steamer as it steamed north along the
coast-shambled over toward a scut-
tie, and peered down to see what he
could see. What he did see was ma

ing smoothly, we'll oiled, well cared
for-for steamboat engineer is
steamboat engineer the world over.
What he saw was that for the moment,
no one was in charge-momentarily
the engineer had stepped outside. This
was the instant that Joe Welcher had
been waiting for Furtively he drew
from his breast pocket a small bar of
steel. For one instant he held it sus-
pended over the machinery. Then he
let it drop and noiselessly tiptoed
away.
Almost Immediately there was ter
rife grinding noise below, followed by
q terrific Jolt. Then the engines
stopped-and the steamer followed
suit. Passengers and crew rushed to
the captain-Anpette included.
What has happened she demand

Something dropped into the ma

At midnight the break had not yet
been repaired.
At midnight, another small steamer,
also bound north along the coast,
passed silently along upon her way.
She was within hailing distance, but
she gave no sign.
