into the street. His face went white.
Ashes, red-hot pieces Of molten lava
were dropping in shower.
Ilington, who had been holding
Annette, surrendered her in an instant
to Manuella. He darted into an inner
room and opened the safe. From this
safe he took canvas bag that jingled
with the gold pieces it contained. He

American, for all his hugeness, was

FIRST MSTALLMENT
PR0L0GUE-THE SURVIVORS
CHAPTER I.
The RED Death.

Capt. John Hardin of the Princess
regarded the fast-receding coast line
with unusual alarm. He shouted to
his mate.
'Welcher," he cried, pointing aft,
slook at that. I've never seen old Pc
lee act that way before"
Welcher, the mate, surly, sallow-
faced, ill-conditioned fellow in I'M
kempt uniform, followed with his eyes
the captains glance
Gee whiz," he said, 'eme neither"
Ben exclaimed the captain, she's
splitting fire. By Godfrey, that means
death death, / tell you, death"
This was back in 1902. The Prin-
cess, Captain Hardin's boat, was a
tramp steamer bound to New York
from the city of St. Pierre, in the
Island of Martinique, with cargo of
cocoa, coffee, sugar cane and cotton,
and had been under way probably an
hour.
You're right, captain" he returned.
"Pelee means business this trip.
Death is right"
A feminine figure emerged from the
shadow of the afterhouse and rushed
forward toward the bridge. Behind
her, following in her wake, raced two
sturdy youngsters. One of these
youngsters darted past her, swarmed
upon the bridge and confronted the
captain and his mate.
He was Captain Hardin's boy, Neal
the only child.
The other boy was the mates son,
young joey Welcher, sallow-faced and
disagreeable like his father.
With the roar of a thousand thun-
ders Pelee beloved forth
What are we going to do, Jack?"
cried the captains young wife; what
are we going to do?"
"Do?" returned the mate, before the
captain could reply. "Put on more
steam, that's what we'll do. We're
well out of that hell-hole yonder. An
hour and we'd have been in the thick
of it. We're well out of it, tell you

his telescope once more. The boy
upon his shoulder followed suit.

On the same day-the day of the
red death at Martinique-and but two
short hours before the pilot put the
helm of the tramp steamer Princess
hard aport, three men sat on the yer
anda of low-roofed, white-walleo
bungalow in st. Pierre.
One of these men was Ilington, a
young American. He passed around
a box of fragrant Martinique cheroots,
He folded up some half-dozen slips OF
paper he had been examining and re-
turned them to another individual who
faced him from across the table.
"Senor Hernandez" exclaimed the
young American, for a week at least
half hundred times-I have told
you your credentials were satisfactory
to me-
Hernandez nodded gravely. He
thrust the papers back into pocket
and tapped them significantly.
None could be better" he ex-
claimed grandiloquently, II am Her
nandez-that is all sufficient
Suddenly the American turned and
faced the third member of the coterie.
"And what" he exclaimed, what OF
Ponto here?"
This third Individual was the
strangest creature Of them all. He
was Mexican; dark, very dark; low
browed; low-statured-and-
Hernandez snodded significantly.
"Ponto, senor," he returned, is as
good as gold. He, too, is brave"
"Will he do as 1 tell him?" queried
the American.
Hernandez bowed. You tell me,
senor, and l tell him. He will obey"
The American turned his back for
a moment and Hernandez and Ponto
exchanged significant glances.
Ilington turned back to them. 1T
is agreed" he said, II will take you
on. To have brave men one must
take chance"
Ilington crossed the veranda and
entered the living room, from there
disappearing through another door. In
a moment he was back, apparently
empty handed. Once more he seated |
himself and then drew from the hip |
pocket Of his trousers a thin oilskin I
packet sealed with sealing wax. He !
laid it on the table before him.
Gentlemen" he said, II am the
owner of the lost isle of Cinnabar.

it that upon It is located quicksilver
mine-an ancient mine but little

island, to find it and to claim it for

Where is this lost island?" queried
the Portuguese.
Ilington nodded :sThe- secret" he
returned, Lies within this packet.

BIG MOTORCAR DEVELOPMENT
Engineers Agree That Future Construction Will Tend

chines-George Daniels to Market His Own Car

That light weight chassis will be the
next big development in automobile con-
structicn IS the consensus of opinion
among engineers and others interested in
the future of the motorcar industry The
old argument of the heavy car finds very
few adherents nowadays
There used to be many who maintained
for divers reasons that high power and
great weight produced a better car,
where upkeep was not considered, than
lesser weight and correspondingly lesser
power, says Automobile. This notion Is
breaking down altogether. and some en-
gineers go so far as to predict the speedy
demise of the 4OOO-pound automobile.
The immense general interest In the
subject among all branches of the trade
and also in automobile clubs and places
where users of cars mostly congregste
suggests that development along this line
will be even more rapid than was at first
anticipated. II suggests that the large
light car will soon be here In quantities,
and that every sales room will have to be
equipped with weighing machine before
very many months have passed.
To multiplicity of cylinders, to auto
