said Annette. "she is in the launch

With pleasure, miss" said the pro
prietor.
With him at her side, Annette re-
traced her steps. The proprietor en-
tered the motor boat and bent over
Inez. He nodded to himself, as though
recalling a description.
With an easy swing they carried
Inez out of the boat, along the dock
and up the rustic steps.
Have you a physician in the
house?"
I'VE have everything-everything at

tor, with an insinuating smile.

nodded TO Annette.

Hernandez pointed toward the door,
Annapolis" he SID then report TO
us at Newport in due course"
Before Welcher was able TO report
to Hernandez or to Inez Castro at
Courtier villa, in Newport, other
things happened.
A week later Neal Hardin. In his
apprenticeship seaman uniform, hur-
ried from his training ship to the rail
road station in Newport. and waited
half an hour for a belated train. He
was unprepared for the sight that met
his eyes when the train pulled in
Annette was more than a dream-she
was superb. Neal seized as mahy suit
cases as he could manage, motioned to
a porter TO bring the rest, and led his
little crowd toward the street car.
Inez Castro called after him.
Where are you going?' she demand
ed. "This is our vehicle. Pile in."
II was a huge gray motor car.
"Yours?" queried Annette.
Notwithstanding the fact that Inez
had never seen the car before, she
nodded.
"One of mine" she said.
At the villa Inez turned her guests
loose and bade them do as they
pleased. Neal and Annette immediate
ly left the pleasing but unnecessary
society Of the others and wandered
through the rose-lined paths behind
the house.
Annette started suddenly Look,
look. Quick!" she commanded.
Neal looked. Fifteen PAGES to his
right there was a clump of bushes,
and peering from this clump of
bushes there was human face, sim
lister, forbidding. Without a word
Neal leaped in the direction of the
face and lodged around the bushes.

At Crooked crae.

Hernandez, the gentleman adventur-
er, the clever smuggler Of cocaine
and heroin, established his headquar-
ters at the Crooked Crag. The pro-
prietor recognized him for what he
was; there was a secret compact, un-
spoken, but we'll understood, between
the two.
Hernandez had located himself in
the secret, sound-proof room at
Crooked Crag. He was talking over
the telephone.
''It was a false move" he conceded.
'T should have steered clear Of your
Newport villa. If it hadn't been for
the apprentice seaman, might have
turned a trick. AS 1t is, am afraid
to show myself. think we will have
to wait for our yellow-blooded friend
to return from his failure at Annapo-
lis"
With the scrap Of paper in his pos
session Neal had excused himself to
Inez, and had started back to his
training station with a definite pur-
pose in view. Once arrived there, he
handed the crumpJed slip of paper to
the officer in command and told his
story.
But all this went on unknown to
Hernandez. He had not missed the
scrap Of paper.
Half an hour later on a wharf in
Newport there drew up very capable
little motor boat Inez and her young
friend, Annette Ilington, boarded her.

the third-story room.
"If the doctor is about, will you
send him." said Annette, bowing the
proprietor and his two men from the
room.
AT once, mademoiselle," said the
proprietor, with low bow.
There was knock upon the door.
Come in," said Annette.
Two men entered, one of whom,
man with a neatly-trimmed Van Dyke
beard, drew Annette to the window,
inquiring gravely about the case.
While her attention was thus occupied
the other man seized the recumbent
figure upon the bed and bore it from
the room. Annette caught a glimpse

thin strip of hair, leaving beneath it
smooth shaven jowels. He still wore

the door and flung himself inside, CIV
ing a quick order to the driver.
Neal retraced his steps and Annette
handed him a scrap of paper that the
man had dropped during the struggle.
1t was a crumpled bit of letter, and
what there was of it read like this:

at the "crooked crag" and
that the place is safe. Ten pounds

Neal, breathlessly. "He was the SNUG

1t is to be said of Inez Castro that
she was universally resourceful. She
had no father. And as for villa at
Newport-she had never thought of
such a thing until that instant. Her
villa at Newport was castle in the

Welcher, upon the advent of Inez
Castro, had left the room. Inez had
handed him a slip of paper-one that
he was anxious to peruse. He went
below to read it. It was another little
seductive note from her, asking him
to meet her once again at their tryst-
ing place-Lonesome Cove inn, three
miles south of Seaport.
Fortified with proper stimulants,
Welcher made his way at once to that
hostelry.
At last she came. Welcher sprang
forward and caught her in his arms.
You've got to let me see you often

She looked up. She rose. The door
was still shut, but within the room,
crouching behind Welcher, were three
interlopers-Hernandez and his two
companions, Ponto and the brute.

Welcher, stepping back. Il thought
