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
worked away like ants, their shadows

Hernandez drew a deep breath OF
satisfaction.
This is the life" he said to him
self. 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
a circle of bright light, lifted up his
voice and called aloud.
In an instant he was surrounded by
motley crew of men-men strange,

CHAPTER Lix.
Who Am L?

In the sick bay of the battleship Mis-
souri, an anxious little group-uni-
formed and otherwise-grouped them
selves around the form of an uncon-
scious man. He lay upon a cot. His
head was swathed in bandages. The
surgeon, seated on camp stool by his
side, raised his head and glanced at
those about him.
The vitality of this man is little
less than marvellous" he said.
Annette Ilington started forward.
Then he will live?" she said.
The surgeon nodded.
The little group bent forward And
with good reason. The figure on the
couch stirred slightly-the huge form
quivered. AT last the unconscious
man became no longer so. He opened
wide his eyes. He stared wildly about
the cabin, struggling the while to
rise.
You'll never know from me where
Lost Isle is he muttered. Look at
Observation-Disclosures Pray God,
the Princess
He lifted his head The surgeon
seized him by one arm and uni
formed attendant by another. But he
tossed them from him as though by
the turn of wrist and struggled to
sitting posture
You will" he snarled, clutching at
the two men. Its just as we'll
found you out, Hernandez-you and
your henchman, Ponto just as we'll

gether"
In another instant he would have
been upon his feet. But his eyes fell
upon Annette Ilington.

forth a hand as though to touch her.
then suddenly withdrew it. He
shrugged his shoulders. What's the

Neal gripped his mothers arm.

at the surgeon. What is the matter

said

figure on the cot And where is the

The surgeon nodded to Neal Hes

many years"
The little GIRL went on the brute
man. His glance shifted and again he
sought Annette. Anne" he cried
again. Once more his glance became
doubtful

The man started
He dropped his head upon his chest;
then he clutched something with his
hand. 1t was his beard-the growth
of many years. He held it out before
him

The man gave the beard mighty
tug.

of his ground-fearful of results

the county seat last week, no
Pine City orator or joker can
convince me that the courthouse

courthouse had been at Hinckley,

three o'clock in the night. So
we simply had to hang around
Hinckley waiting for our train.

man, even in the south end, can
keep us fellows who are opening
up this north end under such
heavy burden of extra expense,
to say nothing of lost time and
sleep. We need the new court
house where we can get to it and
get home the same day. 1t
means a lot more to us than a
few cents a year interest. So
we ask the prosperous farmers in
the south end to give us fellows
up here a square deal and turn
in and help us put the county
seat where it will be more con-
venient for every one. That is
at the crossroads - Hinckley.
