sprang out and waded gleefully
ashore. Neal was a close second.
Two sailors carried Mrs. Hardin
through the shallow water. A lieuten-
ant leaped out with Ilington, and
bounded to dry land.
1t was two hours later that Annette,
pursuing a hairless little tropical ami
NAL along the beach, rounded cor
ner, and espied a sail.
Her heart leaped into her throat.
Upon her person she carried sure
fire automatic; she examined it and
found it in excellent condition. Then
she turned her glance once more up
on the sail
And then Annette's heart stood still
again. For within the boat there was
a human figure Annette shrank be-
hind rock and watched. And sud
denly she knew
The figure was Inez. She was alone,
and seemed to be making frantic ef-
forts to sail the boat. Annette watched
her with interest. And while she
watched stiff breeze sprang up and
nearly swamped the boat,
'Inez--Inez," she cried, "do as say
-Inez-"
Inez heard her, and Immediately for
sook the tiller and the rope and held
out her hands beseechingly over the
gunwale Of the boat. 1t was the best
course she could have pursued. The

said.
The matter-of-fact tone reused the
patient from a dangerous reverie.

A few days later uington, clean
shaven, sat upon the deck OF the Mis-
souri,. He was a handsome man-as
handsome as he had been some thir-
teen years before-save that time had
carved deep lines upon his face. His
forehead still was bandaged.
Annette crouched at his side and
she held between her hands the hand
of Ilington-the hand that had been
so often raised to strike her down.
Neal strode to the little group and sa-
luted.
"Of duty for the present" he ex-

CHAPTER Tx.
Quicksilver.

Out of the sea at sunset, bearing in
his arms burden, staggering up upon
the shore of the Lost Isle of CHINA
bar-there strobe a man. Behind him,
silhouetted against the horizon, was
small sailboat, deserted and strand
ed on a sandbar.
The man was the Portuguese adven-
turer, Hernandez. The burden in his
arms was a woman, and the woman
was Inez Castro, his companion.
He dropped her gently to the
ground, and she lay there for an in
stant, well spent, half exhausted
Then she, too, staggered to her feet
This" cried Hernandez, ''is Lost
island. We are in possession-and
possession is nine points of the law.
The god of chance has favored us
so far, little one, and SO long as the
god of chance joins with Hernandez,
Hernandez wins"
They Travelled inland The sun had
set, the moon was full. For many min
utes they had Travelled through a clear
ing, and suddenly before them, rough,
ragged and forbidding in the moon
light, there loomed ruined structure
built of stone.
TITS the fort" whispered Herman
dez, ''the MORO castle of the Ilington
map"
In the far distance there was red
glow against the sky and the dull,
faint clang of metal against metal.
1--WE are not alone" whispered Her
nandez. Someone works the mines
So much the better We shall have
allies. Let us seek them now"
Inez sank down at his feet. Leave
me alone-here," she whispered. "You
can find me easily. I can go no far
ther and am afraid-afraid."
Already Hernandez had bounded
across the clearing, turned a corner
Of the crumbling ruin and was on his
way. Within the next few moments
he was standing on the edge Of what
seemed to be crater of a volcano
a huge pit that seemed to belch forth
fire.
But it was not a volcano and it did
not belch forth fire. 1t was CHINA
bar mine--or a series Of cinnabar
cut into the surface Of
the earth and illumined by brush fires.
Hernandez crouched upon the edge
Of this huge man-made crater and
watched the scene with interest. In
each pit half a dozen men or more
away like ants, their shadows
flung against the walls in fantastic
shapes.
The Celina Democrat. (Celina, O. [Ohio]) 1895-1921, 1916-02-04

Hernandez drew a deep breath of
satisfaction.
This is the life.' he said TO him
s0u. These men are my men or
my name is not Hernandez"
He drew forth brace OF pistols and
examined them carefully In the moon
light Satisfied that they were in
working order. he rose and skirted
the edge OF the crater, creeping
stealthily around behind the furnace,
Then, with remarkable agility, he
hurled himself as from the skies into
circle of bright light, lifted up his
voice and called aloud.
In an instant he was surrounded by
motley crew of men-men strange,
weird-men whose faces we're over.
grown with a rank, untrimmed crop
OF hair and beard. They hailed his
advent with delight.
Out OF this multitude a huge indlvid-
ual pushed his way through TO Her
nandez and placed a grimy hand upon
the latter's shoulder
Whence come your" he queried in
Spanish.
Hernandez answered him. 'T was
set adrift in a small boat, he returned,
"and | came ashore here not knowing

countryman"
Twelve years ago." said the pirate
chief, I'VE were wrecked-ground to
pieces on this shore. And we found
what? Enough to eat? Yes, A place
to sleep-a place to live But this
is a God forsaken island, senor Only
the mines have kept us from going
mad. We have worked for wealth
madly-hoping against hope"
what do you miner" asked Her
nandez.
"Cinnabar" returned the chief.
Hernandez raised his eyebrows.
QUICKSILVER" he said. TT should
make you rich"
The chief held up his arms. "Rich,"
he cried. "Senor, follow me-"
He called for a torch and nodding
to Hernandez led the way to the edge
of a nearby pit and down a ladder.
At the foot of the ladder he crawled
into an opening and bade Hernandez
follow. The opening was a cave-a
cave whose floor was covered with
huge earthen Jars.
Quicksilver, senor," hissed the pi-
rate chief-"millions of pesetas worth
possibly a billion-who knows"
did you come alone, senor," he
asked. rs there any woman with
your"
Hernandez shook his head, but a
terrific fear clutched his soul.
No woman" he returned. 81 am
alone"
The chief fell back, disappointed;
then he raised his voice to its normal
tones again. "All this, senor," he ex-
claimed, appealing to his companions,
"a kings treasure. We have carted it
for twelve long years, We would give
it all for women" He thrust his face
into Hernandez. "I, senor, would give
it all for one"

No Such Thlnn.

John L. Sullivan said in a temper
anCe address in Chicago:
TOO many people are like the Lon
don NAVY. In London, you know, the
saloons are only open now an hour in
the morning an hour or so at noon,
and another hour in the evening. The
NAVY didn't like this.
mo, the NAVY didn't like It, and he
was expressing himself very forcibly
about it one night at the Marble Arch.
when a stranger said:
But, friend, the workin' clawses
need to economic these ere war
times. Don't you know there's too
much money altogether spent on un-
necessary beer"
Unnecessary beer? roared the

little boat, left 10 itself, swung aDout
and plunged full tilt toward the
shore.
As II struck Annette was there TO
meet II. She dashed into the surf and
dragged Inez In safely to dry land
Inez was frantic with fear.
"Where. asked Annette. 'is the
Portuguese, HernandezY'
Inez waved her hand wildly I'm

"The beasts?" faltered Annette.
''Worse than that" returned lnez,

been hiding from them-even from
him-for three days. He-he doesn't
know where / am-he hasn't found
me. OH"
She sank upon the sand-her form
shook with agitation.
Annette, wondering, knelt by her
side. why have you run from himY'
she queried.
IL can't blame him." cried Inez,
suddenly facing Annette. Hes mad
crazy for wealth, Hernandez. So am
l. And wealth is here-you don't
know He told me all about it-be-
fore began to suspect"
Suspect-what?" asked Annette.
"Ah," went on Inez, checking her
agitation, for the presence OF An
nette gave her courage, you should
see-he told me-there are millions
of dollars worth OF quicksilver-all
ready for the market-stored away,
Millions Of dollars worth. And the
mines-they're not half worked. And
these beasts are working them"
"Beasts?" said Annette again.
tthroats-men-al of them,
men," groaned Inez, "and they've been
here years and years-and they've
been alone. They're wild-eyed enough
to kill each other. And they offered
Hernandez all the quicksilver that
they've got if he'll find some way to
bring them women. All, for hour aft
er hour he harped on that-to me.
Hour after hour he repeated it-talked
about it in his sleep. And finally un-
derstood-"
You're safe," said Annette, "at least
so far as Hernandez and these
beasts are concerned. There's bat
tleship riding in the bay around the
bend. Nothing can harm you now"
Inez gasped with relief. Nothing
can" she began. Then she uttered
a wild yell. INSTRUMENTATION"
Annette looked-almost too late.
Out of the brush behind them bound
ed two frightful fgures-half-clad-
with matted hair and beard. With
hoarse cries they darted toward the
women. Inez turned frantically and
fed up the beach One of the cut
throats darted after her Annette
swiftly drew her pistol, aimed and
fired. The pursuer of Inez dropped in
his tracks. But in another instant
Annette was seized in a pair of strong
arms and tossed over the shoulders of
a giant and carried swiftly inland.
Suddenly their path was blocked.
A figure shot out before them and
stood with folded arms. This figure
was Hernandez-and Annette almost
hailed him as friend.

my promise. The woman is yours

Then he uttered a sudden exclamation.

you have arrived. 1t is better So

1T is barter, eh?" he queried, you

risive laugh. Il took her by force.
have her. Yes, and you have our
treasure-after you, too, have waited
long-after you have taken it by force.
Ho, no."
Hernandez understood.
He sprang at the pirate chief, strik-
ing at him frantically, and clutching
at Annette, trying to tear her from
him.
In moment a multitude of beasts
swarmed through the underbrush-
entered the arena of events.

against hope-he still lusted blindly
after treasure. He reached the edge
Of the artificial crater and crept down
a ladder and plunged into the treasure
cave, He plunged his hands-his
arms, into the living quicksllver-he
tossed II into the air.

cried, this is mine-all mine,
