 "Yes-to search for that creature who calls himself Lord Harrowby."
 Come on, Jack" Minot said to Pad dock. They ran down several flights of stairs, through the lobby and out into the street.
 Where to?" panted Paddock.
 "The harborw Minot cried.
 As they passed the opera house they saw a crowd forming and heard the buzz of many voices.
 MT. Paddock knew of a man on the water front who had a gasoline launch to rent and fortunately it happened to be in commission The two young men leaped Into 1t, Paddock started the en- zine, and they dipped with reassuring speed over the dark waters toward the lights of the Lileth.
 My plan Is this" said Minot when they got to the ship. Turn George over to US. We'll bundle him into our launch and run off out of sight behind Tarragona island. Then let Trimmer search to his hearts content. When he gets tired and quits signal us by hanging a red lantern in the bow"
 Martin Wall smiled broadly.
 Not bad for an amateur kidnaper," he said Will I turn George over to you? Will a duck swim2 A good idea"
 In the kidnapping George put up lively fight. Once he slipped and fell, his three captors on top of him, and at that moment MinOt felt terrific tug ging at his coat. But the odds were three to one against George Narrowly, and finally he was dragged and push ed into the launch. Paddock started the engine, and that odd boat load drew away from the Lileth.
 Hours passed and no red light from the Lileth. It rained in torrents.
 "Td give q thousand dollars" said Paddock, ito know what's going on aboard that boat"

 "TeIl it to the marines" remarked Trimmer, lighting q fresh cigar.
 Just as well that the three shiyering figures huddled in the launch on the heaving bosom of the waters could not see this picture. MT. Wall looked out at the rain and shiyered himself.
 Eleven-thirty came. And F. Two matches from Mir. Paddock's store went to the discovery of these sad facts. Soaked to the skin, glum, silent, the three on the waters sat staring at the unresponsive Lileth. The rain was falling now in fine drizzle.

Maids of the Mist.

The old Maid of the Mist passed through the Whirlpool rapids once. She was built originally to cruise about in the comparatively quiet waters at the foot of Niagara falls. Becoming in- volved in debt and being threatened with seizure, her owner tried to escape with her through the rapids and did so, though she was badly battered and lost her smokestack. This happened ill 1864, and she never tried to ascend the rapids. The name, given by Sir Walter Scott to the heroine of Anne of Geier- stein," has been taken by succeeding boats which cruise about the foot of the falls.

 offered. Aboard the Lileth, on 2 the forward deck under a pro- tecting awning, MT. Trimmer sat firm ly planted in a chair. Beside him, in other chairs, sat three prominent cth- zens of San Marco-one of them the chief of police. MT. Martin Wall was madly walking the deck near by.
