one of the Cinnamon picking up her
suitcase. Across the almost untrav-
eled road they forced her and down
on the stone dock, every footstep
logged by WI and his emissaries.
Get into the boat" WI ordered.
She climbed down into the dirty
yawl. and the Cinnamon tossed her
suitcase after her.

ly. do away with her."
He finished with Q threatening ges-
ture a. the Cinnamon followed Elaine
into the boat. Then he turned on
his heel and walked rapidly back to
the deserted house. There he climbed
into the automobile with the two
toughs and all were rapidly driven
away by the faithless mechanician.
The yawl tossed up and down on
the rough swells that came In from
the ocean. as the powerful arms Of
the sailors pulled her out through the
blacknees to the schooner.
There Elaine was lifted over the rail
and forced across the deck down into
the murky, ill-smelling hold. 1t made
no difference to Gregor whether he
carried . cargo Of contraband or .
white slave. In his gruff voice he bel
lowed orders for getting under way.
while the Chinaman half led, half
pushed Elaine into q cramped room
amidships.
He set down the suitcase and, with
Q grunt and q scowl left, locking the
door and stunning along the passage

deck.
Elaine paced up and down her mar
row prison distracted.
Suddenly she paused q moment A.
her eye fell on the suitcase. There
flashed through her mind the message
I had given her from Kennedy.
She seized the suitcase and tore It
open with nervous fingers.

II think you'll find the roads better

Johnson.
It was, however, merely q ruse on
his part to gain time and give some of
Wu's men m opportunity. For. as
the car approached the fork. two
ro1ghnecks. hidden behind q rock in
the shrubbery, had been straining
their eyes down the road and at the
approach Of the car had drawn back
closer under cover.
johnson stopped some hundred feet

rock in answer to Elaine's signal. It

Az Elaine was becoming vexed at
Johnson's show Of stubbornness, she
suddenly felt strong arms circling her,
while . huge. very dirty hand pressed
with irresistible force over her nouth.
She struggled. but it was of no use.
They pinned her down to the floor
Of the car Johnson drew the curtains
and leaped into his seat. from which
he had descended. leaving the engine
running.

Kennedy and Brainard, but 1t was dark

AS hurried down to the dock l saw
that they had already boarded the
revenue cutter and were waiting i'm
patiently. 1t was fairly stable craft.
They hauled me aboard and we cast
on. The wind blew in keenly from the
bay and we spun down the harbor,
keeping a sharp lookout for any sus-
picious craft.
Already WI Fang and a couple of
his heutenants had gone down to the
Van bort jetty. No message had been
received from Gregor. but they felt
sure that he would be there with the
schooner.
Finally WI directed one Of his men
to set on a signal, flashlight on the
end Of the jetty, while he strained his
eyes through the darkness for some
answering signal.
He had not reckoned wrong. Far
out over the water came an answering
signal from the schooner.

way back up the dock.
On he went alone until he came to
one Of the deserted mansions of q gen.

shore at that point. There, in q yard
beside 1t. stood Elaine's car.
Where is the white girl?" asked
WI. calling johnson.
I'm the house, MASTER" replied the
mechanician subsequently.
wait for me here, then" nodded
WI.
Down In a musty room in the base
ment Of the deserted house was Elaine.
She was neither bound nor gagged.
In fact. there was no necessity for It..
No one could hear her cries. nor could
she escape, for the two roughnecks who
had seized her were guarding her, be-
sides q couple of Cinnamon.
WI Fang came in silently and moved
over close to her. He said not q word,
but an evil smile spread over his sim
lister face as she shrank from him.
Meanwhile q yawl had put out from
the schooner loaded with cans of the
precious contraband drug and had
pulled up at the old stone jetty and
dock. Cinnamon hastily unloaded It
and started up to the house laden with
the heavy tins.
As WI stood before Elaine the Chi
namen carrying the dope tins entered
and began piling them up in an old
closet In the room. At last they I'm
ished putting 1t away.
"An is done, MASTER" bowed one
who seemed to be leader.
WI nodded, then turned to Elaine.
"Go!" he Kissed. raising his finger
and pointing to the door.
Trembling. she obeyed, and WI

Instantly, before the Cinnamon could

on them. One rushed for q window
smashing 1t with q chair and trying to
get out. Craig seized him and helped
corner the other, who turned Out

Of only a moment to snap the brace

gun.
What's THAR" demanded Brainard
looking at the box in the window, az
Kennedy moved over toward it.
"A pigeon trap. l suspect" Craig re
piled. Let's wait"
They sat there for several minutes.
Evidently the Chinese had been wait.
ing for something. Craig felt that
waiting might pay.
At last he was rewarded by the
sound Of a flutter outside. A click fol.
lowed as the little door shut, trapping
the pigeon. The signal flag in the
room moved.
Kennedy loked at it a moment, then
carefully opened the door in the back
of the trap and seized the bird. From
the quill on its leg he took a tightly
rolled note and read.

hours. cREcOR.
What did 1t mean? Threats, impre-
cations. nothing could extract a word
from the two impassive prisoners.
Come" ordered Kennedy sharply of
Hop Ling, not for a moment letting his
vexation show in his face. Walk
ahead Of me-"
Two of the gang had been captured,
but WI seemed as far away as ever.
He marched Hop along sullenly. while
Brainard kicked the other Chinaman
to his feet and followed.
They did not have far to 60. Scarce
ly a block away stood a policeman. and
Craig waved to him.
Quickly Craig produced cards of

ing that they were to be held until full
charges could be made against them.
At the first telephone pay station
Craig turned in and called up the lab

Walter" he called. You remember
Brainard? Well. I want you to meet
me at the Battery. where a revenue
cutter will be waiting. Bring along
that wireless telephone, too. Don't

hung up the receiver excitedly and
tucked the little black box under my
arm as hurried out.

AERDPLANES WILL AID
EXPLORERS IN future
o. P. Austin Tells Geographic Society
Speed and Height of Flights
Will Help Them.

That the geographical investigators and
explorers of the future will find the
aeroplane one of their most important
aids. was the forecast made by o. p.
Austin, secretary OF the National Geo.
graphic Society. in an address before
members of the society upon the flying
machine" at New Masonic Temple last
night. He gave 1t as his opinion that
the hsavier-than-air machines had thor
oughly proven themselves during the re-
cent years of peace experiments and in
the severe usage that they are now flnd-
ing in war-stricken Europe
The aeroplane, travelling faster than
the fastest express train, able to remain
aloft many hours and to carry plenty Of
supplies for Its trip, will enable the ex-
plorer, Mr.. Austin told his hearers, to
investigate regions hitherto almost mac
cessble with a far greater ease and as
surance than that experienced by ex-
plorers In the old days. And. the lecturer
pointed out there yet remain vast areas
Of our planet about which next to moth
ing is known. AS an illustration of the
inaccessibility of much of the earth's
surface, Mr.. Austin said that Africa.
Asia and South America combined have
only about one-half as much railroad
mileage as the United States.

CHAPTER vi.

I've got to hustle, no doubt about

To do a days work is easy
enough for any automobile, a

make seven consecutive days work

stunt in itself.
Take my word for it that you
can never invent enough work or
play-steady touring alone except
ed-to run up a mileage like that
for your Maxwell, when you buy
it. The trouble isn't in covering
the ground; it's in finding the
cause for covering it.
But l helped matters out by
