Hernandez Just then appeared on
the veranda bearing with him a large
wicker dress-suit case.
Hernandez, slowly smoking pana-
tela, scanned the horizon. Suddenly
his eyes narrowed. He strobe swiftly
into the living room and as swiftly
back again and in his hands he bore
a pair of up-to-date binoculars. He
held them to his eyes and carefully
adjusted them-keeping them trained
upon a speck, a mere speck. that had
appeared upon the surface Of the sea.
With a bound he was off, circling
the bungalow In the opposite direction
from that which Ponto and his ill-as-
sorted team had taken. He met him
half way.
"Ponto," he exclaimed, 1--WE shall
have visitors. Unhitch the brute. Get

Hernandez led the way to the fore
ground between the veranda end OF
the bungalow and the shore. He
pointed to a well-plowed strip Of
ground.

watched him until he disappeared
into this wide hole. Then she glided
out to the veranda. She poured out a
tiny drink and tossed 1t of. She lit a
cigarette.
Before her lay a partially plowed
field. She heard the jingle of an OK
chain. She heard a Quavering voice
and then suddenly from the rear OF

the arena Of events.

CHAPTER X.
A General Jail Delivery.


Meantime Neal incensed at the as
sault, either intended or accidental
upon Annette, was following his man
across country. Hernandez was lean
and agile and he kept well in the lead.
At the railroad, obeying some sudden
impulse, he turned and swung on down
the tracks. Here he was ut disad-
vantage. Neal was accustomed to leap
ing railroad ties, two at leap.
BY this time, however, they had
reached the bridge-a bridge over the
inlet to the north of the town. Her
nandez darted out upon 1t with Neal
Immediately behind him, but just as
Neal was about to clutch him from
behind. Hernandez twitched aside and
Ieaped TO the waters OF the inlet far
beneath.
Neal followed suit. Both men swan
to shore and Hernandez, realizing for
the first time that he was followed by
one man and not two, now changed his
tactics. He stood upon the shore and
waited until Neal came up Then
with a sudden rush he darted forward
and planted murderous blow In the
direction of Meals chin.
When the blow was delivered Meals
chin was not there, nor was Neal, but
he was not far away. He ducked and
countered with his left, striking Her
nandez full upon the throat.
At that instant something small and
dark and fat leaped out Of the dark
ness, drew poniard, and before Neal
could even turn, had cut a gash-a
deep gash-in Meals shoulder.
This new assailant was Pontc.
And then all three heard a sound
upon the bridge All three looked up.
There in the moonlight, running full
tilt toward them, was a squad of uni
formed men.
Ponto and Hernandez took to their
heels and ran, but Neal in that instant
leaped upon them from behind.
clutched each man with one hand.
Come on, boys" he yelled, painting,
"Pve got them. Come"
Meantime Mrs. Hardin had succeed
ed in getting Annette back into the
cottage. Annette had been somewhat
injured by the violence Of her fall,

The WhipIash.

Hernandez stepped out upon the
porch of the low-roofed bungalow. He
moved with lazy strides. He was pros
porous apparently, this Portuguese,
Hernandez Here was no evidence Of
adversely nor of hard luck. Years be-
fore he had escaped from the eruption
of Mount Pelee in Martinique.
Now it was the year 1915. It was
January of that year. He was located
may, comfortably established-on his
own plantation In the southern waters.
For months or years-who knows?-
he had lived life Of ease upon this
island just off the coast Of Porto Rico.
Hernandez strobe to the table and
tapped bell.
'Inez," he cried sharply, bring me
drink" He was a Portuguese, this
Hernandez, tall, slender, dark. The
expression on his face was sinister,
and across his face was an old-time
scar planted by saber stroke.
Within a woman had been humming
--humming little snatches of familiar
Spanish songs. At his command the
humming ceased. There was an ex-
clamation of rage-of feminine rage.
Inez Castro stepped out upon the YER
snda.

angrily, ito be summoned by bell"

How much do they want?" she
asked.

her lord and master, land twenty
pounds of flake cocaine"
He strobe into the bungalow and
approached a rude fireplace at the
farther end OF the apartment. He
stopped and threw back the corner of
a many-colored rug that partially con-
cealed the tiles. The tiles were loose
ly set. He removed dozen of them

CHAPTER Viii.
The Flash Flare.

The Flash Flare.
Neal Hardin of the United States
life-saving service at Seaport, N. j.,
swung down the narrow lane toward
the beach. Before he reached the in
tervening railroad tracks a train
pulled ina shore train from New
York. It's last two cars blocked Meals
progress toward the beach-and he
was forced to wait until the train
pulled out again. Meantime, while the
train was stationary, single passen-
ger alighted-a smaAtly dressed young
woman.
She stopped, once she had alighted
and glanced about her in uncertain
ty. She caught sight of Neal and
started toward him.
eff you don't mind" said the young
woman, in dulcet tones-and with just
the trace of foreign accent in her
voice-"if you do not mind, should
like to find the post office-if you
have one here"
Neal nodded. 81 go past there" an
swered Neal, "Pll take you to it.
Come with me-"
Neal liked her-but she didn't ring
true.
"This is the post Office" he ex-
claimed at length.
Neal passed on toward the beach.
He had not gone far when he heard
woman's scream. He looked back, In
front of the post office a crumpled
heap turned out to be the pretty wom-
an.
ct slipped misunderstanding"
she exclaimed, "and, oh-the pain-the
pain"
"Where?" queried the postmaster.
"My foot, my ankle" returned the
young lady; "it is bad-bad."
She fell back, half fainting, In Meals
arms The postmaster nodded to Neal.
"She was going to your mothers,
Neal" he said.
my mothers" gasped Neal, does
does she know my mother?'
The postmaster shook his head.
"She wanted a quiet place-not a
boarding house, nor nothing OF the
kinda quiet place for her and her
old father. l gave her your mothers
name. didn't know. thought may
be your mother might take 'em in"
Neal clutched her in his strong arms
and staggered to his feet.
"I'll take you to my mother s." he
said aloud; that's where you were
bound-Im Mrs. Hardin's son."
Meals mother, Mrs. Captain Hardin.
had spent a good part of the last hour
in the attic of her coy little house.
She was delving into the depths OF an
old leather trunk-and that meant
that she was delving into the past.
At the very bottom Of the trunk
where she had placed them years ago,
was a newspaper package, carefully
tied up. She opened 1t and spread It's
contents on the lid of the trunk. They
consisted of the clothing-all the
cIothing-of a little girl-the dress
and the linen articles had turned
slightly yellow-even the thirteen
years had left their mark upon them.
But this was not all-there was a
bag of gold-the bag of gold that the
little girl had brought aboard the Prin-
cess during that day Of terror back at
Martinique. And pinned to the tiny
dress was still the note-hastily PEN
ciled by an unknown hand:
am Annette ilington, heiress OF
tho lost Isle Of cinnabar. ! will be
very rich some day. Save my clothes
and the oIIskin packet until my father
comes for me, or until ! am eighteen.

cut upon his face. For Gods sake,
keep me safe.

from below. Hastily she slowed away
