"Why, certainly! What else?

words; her mind was intent on
seeking some avenue of escape.
But the boatman understood and

"Will you walk, them"
She searched his eyes for some
trace of insincerity or weakness,
but found none.

He nodded contentedly and led
the way toward the landing. Rosa

She realized that at times 1t was

eyes had a vision of black rocks
fairly in the path of his strom-
harried craft. The murk closed
again.

roared.
Rosalind nodded.

that mine are worth the same.
The limit is anything you have In
sight"
Morton yawned.
Really" he drawled, "I'm not
interested, you know"
The boatman dealt and picked
up his hand.
For five minutes the game pro-
crossed. Twice, by an accident of
fate, the Englishman gathered the
pot, but for the most part his own
pile was receding. chip by chip.
Even in his winning moments he
seemed bored almost to the point
of somnolence. The boatman al
ternately grinned and whistled.
"I'll Just tap you for what
you've got" Sam said, after exam
lining his final draw. Two checks,
l believe"
This is a deuced stupid game,
you know" remarked Morton.
|"Ah-how much?"
you've lost ten thousand, my
friend"
With a listless shrug Morton
began feeling in an inner pocket.
Presently he drew forth a wallet.
A moments search within the
folds of the leather resulted in the
appearance of an oblong slip Of
paper. CHANGING casually at 1t,
Morton handed 1t to the boatman.
The latter examined it closely,
then looked up with a smile.

"I-er-think you'll find 1t
good" drawled Morton.
"I'll take a chance" said Sam,
as he thrust the paper into the
pocket of his shirt.
Although the affair was none
OF hers, Rosalind found herself
angry. If there was one thing
that annoyed her beyond endur-
ance, it was sheer stupidity. She
believed she had just witnessed
the apothesis of 1t.
Yet something struck her oddly
as the Englishman turned and
walked away. She was quite sure
that she heard him chuckle. The
boatman must have heard the
same thing for he stared after
Morton curiously.
"a bad check. I'll wager" whis-
pered Rosalind to herself. "But
where was the sense in the whole
affair, anyhow"
She stepped from her conceal
ment, and an instant later the
boatman turned at the sound of
her footsteps.
"Hello!" he said cordially. "You
just missed the performance"

marked. 81 hope the check he
gave you is bad" she added,

"How do you do-Polly?"

"How do you do-Polly?"
There was the same hesitation
in Kellogg's tone.
1t was Mrs. Witherbee who
broke the tension.
You must come straight up to
the house and meet the Others"
she commanded.
She linked an arm within that
of the guest and led him toward
the house. Some of the others fol-
lowed.
Polly fingered on the wharf
witching. So did Rosalind. When
the procession had passed from
ear-shot, the two women looked at
each other.

manded Polly.
"At Clayton, of course. He came
aboard while | was shopping"
Polly's brow was furrowed
deeply.

muttered. TITS beyond belief"

CHAPTER VIII.
ThickeninQ Mystery

The Witherbee yacht was near
ing Clayton, with Rosalind as its
only passenger Principally, Its
errand was to meet William Kis-
sam Kellogg. the nephew who had
been summonded 80 peremptorily
from his banking career in New
York to take charge of the David
son place.
Although the Witherbees were
mot acquainted with the young
man, they had volunteered to take
charge of his comfort and enter
tainment while his uncle was in
the west. He was arriving on q
midday train.
Rosalind was going shopping,
she told Mrs. Witherbee.
Her shopping tour in Clayton
concerned itself mainly with the
purchase of postage stamps. When
she returned to the Witherbee
yacht the new passenger was
aboard.
Rosiland was disappointed; he
was not at all as she had imagined
him. He was short and chunky,
with tendency to flesh lament
able In one so young. He did not
look in the least devilish.
He did not see her until she was
close to him, and then 1t was to
greet her with q startled leap
from his chair and an embarrassed
scrutiny.
''Mr. Kellogg, / believer"

your pardon"

ing her cool. fingers to him.
He shook hands nervously.
you have heard about all the
trouble, of course?"
"Er-what?"
"About the burglaries and the
smuggling and 30 FORTH"
"Oh, yes-yesl But my uncle
didn't give any details. He's--he's
gone, suppose?"
There was anxiety in his voice
that did not escape her. Rosalind
concluded that Billy Kellogg was
very much afraid Of his uncle.
"He's well on his way to Denver
ty this time," she assured him.
After this he fell into a period
Of silence. from which all the arts
Of Rosalind Chalmers were unable
70 extricate him, save for fitbul
and brief intervals.
A knot of persons was standing
on the Wtiherbee wharf. awaiting
the arrival of the big power
launch.
There are Mrs. Witherbee and
Gertrude and some of the Others
said Rosalind, her eyes busy.
Mrs. Witherbee welcomed the
new guest effusively.
Kellogg responded mechanically

which we're staring at the new
guest, was an expression that com.

"Oh. Polly. where are your

beer voice.

needful to humor an unbalanced
mind. For the present she would
accompany him; but surely there
would be an opportunity to escape.
"We'll take the old Fifty-Fifty,"
he remarked as he loosed the
painter. Its better than rowing.
And if anything goes wrong, why,
you're here to fix it. BY the way,
what do YOU want me to call You,
ma'am-Rosie?"
mo? Rosalind. maybe! It's a
little long; but It'll do. suppose"
Rosalind stepped aboard the
launch Wa out ans sering
1t was scarcely mid-afternoon,
but daylight was failing rapidly.
Rosalind herself, although wholly
concerned with her absurd and
perhaps dangerous plight, present
ly noticed the change in the sky.
A swift survey of great bank of
black and lead-colored clouds end
ed with a glance at the boatman.
"Squall coming" he admitted,
with nod.
you'll make an island?" Rosa
lind Suggested.
She'll ride 1t out" he said
confidently. 1--WE been out in 'em
before"
Better make a landing" she
warned.
"Afraid?"
She turned her back upon him.
Half a mile astern a long, white
line extended itself across the
river.
Suddenly the steersman seemed
to awake. He chewed his under
lip anxiously as he watched the
on-rush of the line of foam.
Worse than l thought" he
muttered. I'm a fool"
A quarter of a mile to his left
lay an island, but he knew there
was not a chance in thousand of
making the lee of it.
Come aft here!" he command
ed.
Rosalind turned and studied the
white line. 1t was not more than
a hundred yards distant. Without
a word she obeyed him.
He motioned her to a seat beside
him, and as she sat down passed
an arm around her shoulders.
"Sit tight, PAL" he said. And
II 1t gets too bad, there's a life
preserver under your feet. I'm
sorry"
The remainder Of the sentence
she could not hear, for the white
line had overtaken them The
storm-front delivered a blow In
which wind, hail, sea, and stiff
ing smother OF froth seemed weld
ed into one sinister and mighty
weapon. The launch staggered,
then leaped forward.
Rosalind felt a cruel beating OF
ice-shrapnel upon her face, her
arms, her thinly clad shoulders.
In an effort to give her shelter the
boatman drew her head down
against his flannel shirt.
Rosalind was glad to hide her
face, not because she feared to
look upon the fury that encom-
passed them, but to shield It from
the bitter volleying of the hail.
The boatman's grip frightened.
Even in the din and ferocity of the
storm she found herself marveling
at the power that lay in his slen-
der but sinewy arm.
Then for a brief instant some
freak of the gale tore a great rent

CHAPTER TX,
StunQt


Rosalind not only wired to Mr..
Davidson but, as an afterthought,
she sent a message to Hastings
& Hatch. The answer to the latter
came promptly the following fore
noon.
1t did not serve to restore her
equanimity. Ie described William
Nissan Kellogg infinitely, as Rosa
lind had requested, and the de-
scription was a Photographic like
ness of the young man who, Polly
swore, was not Billy Kellogg.
Nothing to do but wait for Mr..
Davidson" said Rosalind.
1t was the second day when
Rosalind betook herself to the
| river.
With an intent that was really
subconscious, she rowed one of the
light skiffs In the direction of the
boatmans island. There was also
something mechanical rather than
deliberate In the act of her land

his shack. Only the sound of
voices awakened her from q day
dream.
She halted and listened. One of
the voices was Enthusiastically that
of Sam. The other, subdued and
Indifferent In tone, she finally
identified as that of Mr.. Morton.
Rosalind advanced cautiously.
Presently she sighted them. The
spectacle was one that surprised
her.

other. Between them lay folded
blanket. The boatman was shut

lifted in his arms. As the boatman
stepped out upon the slippery,
staggering deck, the black wall
hung over her.
Rosalind felt herself tossed into
the air. For what seemed an in
terminable period. she hung sus-
pended in space. Then something
rose to meet her feet with a Jar
ring shock. She was standing on
a ledge.
Below her. even above the roar
of the wind. came the sound of a
heavy, crashing blow. The launch
had struck. She knew what that
meant. The boatman had given
her the one chance!
With a gasping sob she whirled
about and stepped to the edge Of
the rock.

Her voice had risen to a shrek.
Something touched her foot-a
hand!
