Annette sank back, gasping with
the smoke. The situation, to her,
seemed hopeless. Inside, the ammuni-
ton was slowly giving out. Without,
the house was surrounded on all sides
by insurrectos. She crept to the
planters side.

Can I have more?" She got 1t, but

The planter smiled and shrugged

"Eye-yah," cried the planter, who Is
the stranger there?"
Annette followed the direction OF his
finger. She shrank back
"Scar-face!" she cried, in despair.
"He knows how to load" said the
planter, shaking his head soberly, but
at any rate we can hold out-until the
Americanos come"

Inez shook her head. Returns

The insurrecto agent stepped back

glanced at Hernandez significantly

The captain Of the Rio Grande found
Just at the time when he was off the
coast of Dolores-that his engine had
uncompromisingly broken down. and
that he must put into the nearest port
for repairs.
while I'm about It," he said to
Hernandez, his secret passenger, you
can land your oil stoves for the in
surrectos."
Hernandez nodded. "Your legiti-
mate passengers-some of your crew.
he said, you'd best get them out of
the way first-we don't want too many
witnesses-the rife cases might break
open"
Its all right" said the captain,
simple enough. I'll land 'em in the
daytime. Well land your cargo in the
night"
He glanced toward shore. Sudden
ly he caught Hernandez by the arm.
"Yonder, senor," he exclaimed, look
the flag of the insurrectos-it is
their camp"
Annette Ilington, startled by the ces-
sation of the engines, glanced out OF
the window of her stateroom. She
woke her foster mother, Mrs. Hardin.

"But it isn't" exclaimed Annette.

once"
Annette obeyed.
Now" went on Irene, adjusting her
hat, "let us go on to the governor of
Martinique"
In half an hour they were in his
presence. Annette proffered her re-
quest The governor nodded.
He placed his signature upon the
back of the photograph and impressed
his seal in sealing wax also upon the
back.
Now, charming friend" said Irene
Courtier, 'let me have the photo

She placed it in the envelope and
sealed the letter. On their way back
to the hotel she darted into the local
post Office, darling out almost immedi-
ately.

Identification is complete"
Half an hour later, in the solitude Of
her own room at the hotel in Mar
Unique, Inez Castro took from the
folds of her dress the letter-the let
ter which she had not mailed in the
post Office. She tore it open rapidly
and dropped the photograph upon her
dressing table. With keen-edged
knife she performed an operation.
Then she pasted her own photograph
upon Annettes cardboard. When she
had completed this performance she
held up the finished product with sat-
isfaction.

felt presentment, 'it is you whom the
governor of Martinique vouches for as
the heir of the Ilingtons So far so

She sat down and wrote-wrote the
same letter that Annette had written
at her dictation, and she signed 1t
Annette Ilington. Then she placed
it In an envelope, addressed the en-
velope and affixed a stamp. Later.
surreptitiously, she mailed it.
She was quite right. Identification
was a matter of Importance and the
Identification was complete.

. Behind Closed Doors.

There are many cubby holes on the
Isle of Martinique. In one of these
cubby holes or hiding places in re-
markably secreted district Of ST.
Pierre, behind doors closely locked
and barred, there sat man. He was
a negro, tall and gaunt; he wore a
mustache and an imperial; even as he
sat at ease his bearing was military.
Suddenly he stiffened. There were
three taps upon the barred door. He
rose, strobe swiftly to the door and
noisily threw back it's bars and bolts.
The door opened and three men
crept into the cellar. The negro
saluted.
"Senor Hernandez" he exclaimed
81 am from Dolores"
$50 l understand" said Hernandez
Dolores" continued the negro, lis
a republic on the coast Of Central
America"
Hernandez nodded.
The other man leaned forward.
"Senor," ne said, Il am the agent OF
the insurrecto party in Dolores. The
insurrecto party in Dolores will one
day own Dolores, body and soul. That
day is sure to come. 1t needs but one
thing, senior"
"And that one thing?" queried Her
nandez.
The insurrecto smiled. 1--WE need a
man who will take chances" he went
on, "a man who will stake little to win
much; a man who will put up money
and put up brains to get US what we
need-to deliver IS the goods"
"And what goods do you need?''
queried Hernandez, smiling in his
turn.
The insurrecto showed his white
teeth. "Oil Stoves" he returned, "oil
stoves-of the Mauser type-of any
type-made in America"
How many do you need?" queried
Hernandez.
twenty-five hundred rifles will suf-
fice," said the other man, including
ammunition to correspond. And this
cargo, senor," he added, sis here in
Martinique. 1t has come by devious
routes from the United States. 1t is
being watched-closely, jealousy
watched, by secret service officers
by the government of the United
States"
Hernandez sighed. What return
does this man of daring get?"
I'VE will pay you tenfold," said the
spy, when you land the rifles
Hernandez smiled. What mere
what after delivery"
"Ah,'' returned the other, twenty
thirty-a hundredfold, when the rev.
olution has succeeded"
Hernandez tapped himself upon the
chest. 1T will succeed" he said. Il

tation down below"
The leader pondered. II was bound
the other way" he said.
1.-THE marines'll cut you off," re-
turned Hernandez, they're after our
guns-they're after us. You'll have
to go this way
"You are quite right, senor." he con-
coded.
Hernandez beckoned him to one
side. Listen, general" he whispered,
II understand mine host of the planta-
ton is very rich. Am l right?"
The leader nodded. "He has much
gold somewhere hidden" he returned,
although we have tried in vain-by
peaceful means-to get it."
"He has," went on Hernandez, some
woman guests-Americans. If you find
the gold, senior, you keep it. If find
it, I'll divide with you. But the Ameri-
can women-they belong to me-"
Early next morning mine host OF
the plantation approached his guests.
"Come with me to the wharf" he
said. 81 have marine glasses. We
shall see what we can see."
Once there he handed the glasses
to Mrs. Hardin. Sonora" he ex-
claimed, tell us what you perceive
in the dim distance"
Mrs. Hardin took one look and then
turned a radiant face upon Annette.
'Tt's the Albany-Neaps cruiser" she
exclaimed.
Annette seized the glasses. "The
Albany" she exclaimed, incredulous-
ly. What is the Albany doing here
the last time we heard Of her she
was approaching Martinique"
The planter beckoned to a servant.

But the horses for the party did not

drunken insurrectos. Had they been

The master started. Then it was

his guests. "Come," he commanded,
there is not moment to lose. Follow
me at once"
He reached the veranda and blew
three shrill blasts upon whistle. Inn
mediately half a hundred blacks
rushed upon the scene, eyes wide with
terror, but ready to obey orders.
Everybody in," he commanded.

"Of what nation?"

In which direction does she lie?"
queried the leader.
