street. He gave one look and then
fell back.

"Look-look."
Anxiously he turned his gaze down
the hill. Then with a bound he was
on. In three minutes he was back
clutching his little daughter. Annette.
to his breast and dragging the frenzied
Manuella after him.
Ehrieks from a thousand threats
rent the air without Ilington glanced
into the street. His face went white.
Ashes, red-hot pieces of molten lava
were dropping In a shower.
Ilington, who had been holding
Annette, surrendered her in an instant
to Manuella. He darted into an inner
room and opened the safe. From this
safe he took a canvas bag that jingled
with the gold pieces 1t contained. He
thrust this bag into one hip pocket of
his trousers, having already secreted
the oiIskin packet in the other.
"Come on he shouted to the group
behind him. TITS death to stay here.
Come on down the hill"

CHAPTER ~.
After Night Of Fear.

The three men-Ilington and his
two companions-sat detected in their
badly leaking boat and watched Cap
tain Hardin's vessel fade away into
the distance. Hernandez watched her
keenly as she disappeared. Into the
innermost recesses Of his mind he
tucked away the fact that she was the
steamer Princess Of New York. Some
day that knowledge would be Of use
to him. Hot ashes brushed against
Ilington's cheek; some rested on his
shoulders. He shook himself like some
huge mastiff. He seized the oars.
Come" he said, we've got to get
out Of this-and right away. This
boat is filling fast"

II was not a request; II was a COM
mand. 1t was a strange thing that as
long as Ilington had borne the child In
his arms, Ilington had been the lead
er of the three. Now his independence
seemed to leave him.
For hours he %rowed-he forgot he
was a human being. His oars rose and
fell with the regularity OF machine

The Lost Isle.

The Lost Isle.
On the same day-the day Of the
red death at MartiniQue-and but two
short hours before the pilot put the
helm Of the tramp steamer Princess
hard aport. three men sat on the YER
anda of a low-roofed, whitewalled
bungalow, in st. Pierre.
One of these men was nington, a
young American. He passed around
a box Of fragrant Martinique cheroots.
IIe folded up some half-dozen slips Of
paper re had been examining and re-
turned item to another individual who
faced him from across the table.
"Senor Hernandez" exclaimed the
young American. "for a week at least
half a hundred times-I have told
you your credentials were satisfactory
to me"
Hernandez nodded gravely. He
thrust the papers back into a pocket
and tapped them significantly.
None could be better" he ex-
claimed grandiioquently. Il am Her
nandez-that Is all sufficient"
Suddenly the American turned and
faced the third member Of the coterie.

This third individual was the

"WHl he do as ftell him?" querted
the American.
Hernandez bowed. You tell me.

The American turned his back for
q momen and Hernandez and Ponto
exchanged significant glances.
Iiington turned back to them. 1T
is agreed" he said, Il will take you
on. To have brave men one must
take q chance"
Ilington crossed the veranda and
entered the living room. from there
disappearing through another door. In
q moment he was back. apparently
empty handed. Once more he seated
himself and then drew from the hip
pocket Of his rouser a thin oilskin
packet sealed with sealing wax. He
laid It on the table before him.

CHAPTER v.
A Night win Flame.

A NiohS WIN tIafnes
Young Neal Hardin was proud OF
his fathers boat. the Princess. He
never ceased admiring her. There was
no Part OF her he didn't love. He was
well assured that she must hold the
same fascination for other people as
she did for him. He concluded that
little Annette Ilington would fall des-
perately in love with his huge boat
and he escorted that young lady to all
parts OF the vessel-in fact, he walked
her little legs of.
They explored the lifeboats, the for
ward quarters of the crew; they WIS.,
tied the pilot; they climbed the bridge.
Finally, they visited the mold. 1t was
well they did.
Something had happened-and had
happened on the day before while the
Princess lay of Martinique. Cinders
had fallen by the hundreds-a condi.
tion Of affairs that the captain and his
crew had well prepared for. 1t was
impossible to be everywhere at once
and a cinder-a live. red messenger OF
