"Some sailors curlo. Well, 60 on.

An hour afterward Harry Willserson
rose to his feet and Kicked the scatter

The idol rolled away and came to
stop upright against the bulwarks,
when it presented glazed, mysterious
eyes.

a curse.
Only an idol!' laughed Jean in wild
derision.
Then her handsome face famed with
wrath. She turned her back con-
temptuously on Wilkerson and stared
across the water ut the launch which
was pursuing them.
In the bitterness of her heart was no
mingling of pity for her tool; only self
contempt that she had depended on
him. helped him.
When she could control herself she
went forward to get out of sight of
the hooking heap of rubbish that had
cost so much.
Presently a sailor made excuse to
come aft and pecred at the pile Of
junk. The idol caught his eye. and he
stealthily caught it up and hid it in
his shirt.
Good in pawnshop,." he chuckled.
Thus once more the plans of the

think it worth your while"
He looked up from his business of
settling with the divers and made
gesture to detain her. He seemed to
call out some inarticulate plea.
She merely smiled again and left.
She paid no attention to one Of the
sailors who brushed by her, clutchins

changed hands for small sum after
much haggling.
Before Wilkcrson had settled with
the diver John DORIS launch also
made its landing, and the two enemies
would have met except that Wilkerson
had to go to bank to cash draft.
AS he slipped away he saw the other
boat and laughed bitterly. Dorr was
welcome to what there was in the old
chest.

''Wilkcrson is certainly in love With
her," John said presently.
Il think he is" Ruth asserted. But
she doesn't care anything about him.
I'm sure. All she is after Is money"
Later in the evening rs they discuss
ed the events OF the day John brought
up the subject Of Wilkerson's anxiety
for the papers again and recalled the
fact that old Tom Gallon had always
insisted on Wilkerson's knowledge Of
something.

she sighed

But Wilkerson had not given up. On

ly followed this clew. with the result
that he knew as much about its where
abouts as John and Ruth did, SO far
as its getting into the hands of an
East Indian peddler was concerned.
Whether Dorr had recovered the image
from him he did not know.

Wilkerson had expected, and feared
this. He saw his wild efforts going
for nothing. Without her assistance
and her money he was helpless.
And profoundcr even than his hatred
of Dorr and his desire for the hidden

'What is that?" demanded John.
''An old idol. But I'm sure neither

tinued. trying to conceal his anxiety.
Maybe one Of the men picked 1t up
for a curio," the skipper said apollo
getieally. Everybody seemed to think
the old thing was worthless. and you
know sailor will grab at just that
kind of thing. Better ask some Of the
crew.
a few moments later Dorr had learn
ed that one of the sailors had indeed
taken the image and gone uptown with

The first places they visited gave up
