"Glrl, ! Love You Better Than Life"
in truly getting beyond that dark wall
Of mystery.
At the sound CT Jim Norton's voice
and at the sight of his face-for sub
consciously she must have been think
ing Of him all the while-a great blind
ing heat-wave seemed to burn across
her eyes, and when the effect passed
away she was herself again. A wild
glance at her surroundings convinced
her that both she and her lover were
/ in danger
! Keep back" whispered Jim. Don't
recognize me-"
They believe that I've lost my
mind, and I'll keep that idea in their
heads. Sometime tonight I'll find a
chance to talk to you"
/ 1t took a good deal Of cautious ma
neuverlng to bring about the meeting.
"They shanghied me. And l thought
you dead! 1t was all wrong. 1t was
trick of that Perigoff woman, and it
succeeded. Girl, girl, love you better
than life!"
II know it now" she said, and she
kissed him. HAS my father appeared
YETI"
mo"
DO you know anything at all about
him" sadly.
81 thought l did. It's all a tumble
to me. But beware OF the man who
brought you here. He is the head Of
al, our troubles; and II he knew was
on board he'd kill me out Of hand.
He'd have to-"
Braine offered Bannock $1,000 to
turn back as far as Boston; and as
Bannock had all the time in the world,
carrying no perishable goods, he con-
scented. But he never could quite I'M
derstand what followed lie had put
Florence and Braine in the boat and
landed them; but when he went down
to see IL Braine had left anything be-
hind. he found that individual bound
and gagged in his bunk.

succeeded in getting hold Of him. II
had been something OF a blow; for
while he looked with disfavor upon
the reporters frank regard for his
charge, he appreciated the fact that
Norton was staff to lean on, and had
behind him all the power of the press,
which included the privilege OF going
everywhere even II one could not al.
ways get back.
As he folded the Telegram and put
1t into his pocket. he observed the
man with the opera glasses over the
way. He shrugged. Well, let him
watch till his eyes dropped out OF his
head; he would see only that which
was intended for his eyes. Still, 1t
was irksome to feel that no matter
when or where you moved, watching
eyes observed and chronicled these
movements.
Suddenly, not being devoid OF q
sense Of dry humor, Jones stepped
over to the telephone and called up
her highness the Princess Perigoft.
who is it?"
He was forced to admit. however
reluctantly. that the woman had a
marvelously fine speaking voice.
1T is Jones, madam"
"Jones?"
"Mr Hargreave's butler, madam"
20! You have news of Florence?"
"Yes." 1t will be an embarrassing
day for humanity when some one in
vents Photographic apparatus by
which two persons at the two ends of
the telephone may observe the facial
expressions of each other.
What is It? Tell me quickly"
Florence has been found, and she
is on her way back to New York. She

once and have you tell me the whole

blithely set flre to her cabin, walked
out into the corridor and thence to
the deck. When the fire was discov-
cred 1t had gained too much Roadway
to be stopped. The. yacht was doomed.
They put of in the boats and for half
a day drifted helplessly.
Fate has everything mapped out like
a game OF chess. You move a pawn,
and bang goes your bishop, or your
knight, or your king; or she let's you
almost win game. and then check
mates you. But there is one thing to
be said in her favor-rail at her how
we will. she is always giving odds to
the innocent.

although rough one, shouted down
the tube to the engine room. The
freighter came to halt in about ten
minutes. The castaways saw that they
had been noted, and pulled CALAMITY
at the oars.
There are some things which sci
ence, we'll advanced as 1t is, cannot
explain. Among them is the shock
which cuts off the past and the coun-
tershock which reawakens memory.

from a telegram have just received.
But no doubt some time this evening
you might risk call"
Ring up the instant she returns.
Did she say what train?"
mo, madam" lied Jones. smiling.
He hung up the receiver and stared
at the telephone as II he would force
his gaze in and though 1t to the
woman at the other end Flesh and
blood! Well, greed was stronger than
that. Treacherous cat! Let her play;
let her weave her nets, dig her pits.
The day would come, and It was not
far distant, when she would find that
the mild eyed mongoose was just as
deadly as the cobra, and far more
cunning.
The heads Of the Black Hundred
must be destroyed. Those were the
orders. What good to denounce them,
to send them to a prison from which,
with the aid Of money and a tremen-
dous secret political pull, they might
readily find their way out? They must
be exterminated, as one kills OF the
poisonous plague rats Of the Orient.
A woman? In the law of reprisal
there was no sex.
Shortly after the telephone episode
(Which rather puzzled the princess)
she received a wire from Braine, which
announced the fact that Florence and
five bod ocnopad opd pyora oopoino tn,
New York on train No %, and ad-
vised her to meet the train en- route.
She had to fly about to do it.
When Captain Bannock released
Braine, he had been in no enviable
frame OF mind. Tricked. fooled by the
girl, whose mind was as unclouded as
his own! She had succeeded in brlbing
coal stoker, and had taken him un-
awares The man had donned the dis.
guise he had laid out for shore ap.
proach. and the blockhead Bannock
had never suspected. He had not rec.
ognized Norton at all 1t was only
when Bannock explained the history
Of the shanghaied stoker that he real
ICED his real danger Norton! He must
be pushed off the board. After this
episode he could no longer keep up
the pretense of being friendly. Nor
ton. by a rare stroke Of luck, had
forced him out into the open. So be
1t. Self-preservation is in no wise
looked upon as criminal. The law may
have its ideas about 1t, but the in
dividual recognizes no law but its own
1t was Braine whom he loved and ad
mired, or Norton whom he hated as
dog with rabies hates water. With
Norton free. he would never again
dare return to New York openly. This
meddling reporter aimed at his ease
and elegance.
He left the freighter as soon as .
boat could carry him ashore. The
fugitives would make directly for the
Esjlroad. and thither h vent at. ts1

that Florence was safe, the iron nerve
OF the man broke down. The suspense
had been so keenly terrible that tina
sudden reaction left him almost hys.
terically weak. Three weeks OF wait
Ing. waiting. Not even the scoundrel
and his wife who had been the princi-
pal actors in the abduction had been
found. From q great ship in midocean
they had disappeared. Doubtless they
had hidden among the immigrants,
who, for little money. would have
fooled all the officers on board. There
was no doubt In Jones' mind that the
pair had landed safely at Madrid.
AS for Susan, she did have hyster-
les. She went about the room, wailing
and laughing and wringing her hands.
You would have thought by her actions
that Florence had Just died. The sight
OF her stirred the saturnine lips Of the
butler into a smile. But he did not
demonstrate with her. In fact, he
rather envied her freedom in emotion.
Man cannot let so In that fashion; 1t
is a sign OF weakness; and he dared
not let even Susan see any sign of
weakness In him.
So the reporter had found her, and
she was safe and sound and on her
way to New York? Knowing by this
time something of the reporters cour.

CHAPTER X. Continued

The man told the story Of F1orencea
leap into the sea and her subsequent
arrival at the cape.
That's funny" said the stranger
II don't recollect reading about any
young woman being lost at sea But
those big liners are always keeping
such things under cover. Hoodoos the
ship, they say, and turns prospective
passengers to other lines. II hurts
business. What's the young girl look
like?"
Florence was described infinitely The
stranger teetered in his chair and
smoked. Finally he spoke.
"She probably was insane. That's
the way generally with insane people.
They can't see water or look off q
tall building without wanting to jump.
My business is insurance, and we've
got the thing figured pretty close to
the ground. They used to get the
best of US on the suicide game. A
man would take out a large policy
today and tomorrow he'd blow his
head off, and we'd have to pay his
wife. But nowadays a policy is not
worth the paper it's written on II a
man commits suicide under two
years"
You amt tryin' to insure anybody
in town, are your?
"Oh, no. No work for me when
I'm on my vacation. Well, I'm going
to bed; and tomorrow morning I'll go
out to Captain Barnes beach and have
a good swim. I'm no sailor, but like
water"
He honestly enjoyed swimming.
Early the next morning he was in the
water, frolicking about as playfully as
a boy, He had all the time in the
world. Over his shoulder he saw two
women wandering down toward the
beach. Deeper he went, farther out.
He was a bold swimmer, but that did
not prevent sudden and violent attack
OF cramps. And 1t was rare piece
OF irony that the poor girl should save
the life Of that scoundrel who was
without pity or mercy. AS she saw
his face startled frown married her
brow. But she could not figure out the
puzzle. Had she ever seen the man
before? She did not know, she could
not tell. Why could not she remem-
Der? Why must her poor head ache 80
when she tried to pierce the wall of
darkness which surrounded her men,
tally?
! The man thanked her feebly, but
not in his heart When he had suffl-
-clently recovered he returned to the
village and sought the railway station,
where the Western Union had its Of
flee.
/ Il want to send a code message to
my firm. Do you think you can fol-
low it,"
I 81 can try" said the operator.
! The code was really Slav; and when
the long message was signed 1t was
bigned by the name Vroon,
The day after the news came that
Florence had jumped overheard off
the banks, Vroon with dozen other
men had started out to comb all the
fishing villages along the New Eng
land coast. Somewhere along the way
he felt confident that he would learn
whether the girl was dead or alive.
If she was dead then the game was a
draw, but IL she was alive there was
still a fighting chance for the Black
Hundred. He had had some idea Of re-
naming in the village and accomplish
ing the work himself; but after DELHI
Grafton he concluded that 1t was i'm
portant enough for Braine himself to

Air Plants on tho Wires.

Telephone troubles in the tropics
are largely due to the wires becoming
covered with air plants. In Porto
Rico the humidity of the atmosphere
is so great that the plants continue to
grow until they are detached by the
linemen.

he departed for Boston, from there to
New York. He proceeded at once to
the apartment Of the princess, where
Braine declared that he himself would

question as to his eligibility, but

should be above suspicion In all re-
spccts. and any and every charge from

ture. however illfoundcd, should he
