they came back to the shoal and
headed for the dock.
Thirty feet off shore Lester held
up his hand, and both anchors
went over. A short drag followed.
Without a word Diana slipped
over the side and struck for the
runway. One after another the
men followed.
Lester made the landing with
but slight bruising, and helped
pull in Uncle Billy.
Keep back, Diana!" warned
Crawford. wait till / reach the
foot of the runway"
She smiled at him bravely.
Now" she heard Crawford
cry out. But when they began
to pull, her body seemed too heavy
for her numb arms, and she lei
go.
Desperately Crawford fought te
her side with line.
He was himself half drowned
In his endeavor to tie the lin,
about her waist. Surge after
surge crashed upon her as SHE
was hauled in. The men lifted
her to her feet. She pressed

she lay motionless.

CHAPTER XIV.

Uncle Billy stepped outside the
boat house cautiously.
The wind blew with tremen-
dous humming noise. like some
huge dynamo, and the water ran
as high ast when, five hours. ago,
they had all been dragged ashore,
bruised, cut, exhausted.
The guide squatted on his
launches and peered out. He saw
two faint gray patches on the
water, bowling and kotowing to
each other like quadrille dancers.
He paused and reached down to
rub his shin gently.
In helping CRAWFORD in he had
fallen on the slippery runway and
bruised a shin. Well, the poor
young woman was paying for her
hardihood; a cash two inches
long on the side of her head and
an arm strained so badly that her
fingers spread out crookedly.
And she lay there on the floor
of the boat-house without move
ment, without speech, too exhaust
ed to moan against the pain o I
her injuries. a. st
Treasure? He was IN a fine
mood for treasure. How could
there be any treasure on Pidgin?
Inside the boat-house Crawford
sat with his back to the light
keepers boat, asleep. a Smoky
lantern hung from the roof-Eeam.
Diana lay between the boat and
the partition. a blanket over her.
When she awoke she saw Gran
ford, sleeping with his mouth
open, most unheroic, his arms
dangling at his sides. She know
now what she had to. do. She
must rise without disturbing him,
steal out. Oh, the pain of it!
She fell back, groaning.
Instantly Crawford was awake.
What is it,"
MY ankle!"
Which one?"
'The right one She set her
teeth In her lips.
Off went her shoe. He bound
the stockinged foot and saturated
it with what arnica remained.
He saw tears running down her
cheeks, hut he did not know the
real cause of them.
Diana, Diana! what can l do,
what can | do? Poor girl, poor
girl"
That's better I'm all right
now. Thank you!"
But her thought Was: She had
failed, failed miserably, after all
these weeks of careful planning;
failed. She could not stand, let
alone walk. Either she must tell
him or let everything go. If only
he had not followed,
After half an hour of quiet,
Crawford peered again at the face
of the girl.
Sound asleep: at least she look

For a brief space Crawford
stared at the young man; then
went on down the ladder.

ed so. He breathed a prayer of
thanks. Silently nd reverently
he knelt, lifted a strand of hair,
and kissed 1t. Her breath came
deeply and regularly.
He saw her outing coat hang
ing from a nail. 1t was still heavy
with water. He ought to have
turned the pockets when he hung
it up; the coat would have been
half dry by now.
Carefully he drew out pocket
after pocket. He laid the hand
kerchief and the gloves on the
gunwale of the boat. As he pulled
out the inside pocket a water
soaked envelope fell out. He
stopper for it.
Mystery and fog were no more.
There was no need to see the con-
tents of that peculiar style of en-
velope. He had received many of
them. postmarked but stampless,
official business Of the U. s. Gus
toms.
Uncle Billy was up and outside
long before sunrise.
He wandered aimlessly past the
light. He saw the remains of a
recent fire, a shore dinner fire;
one he was certain neither he nor
Lester had built. This was a cob
BILE range, while he and Lester
had portable stoves.
"By jings! Whut d. y know
about that?" he calculated. Be-
hind the pink granite boulder lay
two Bristol rods in their gray cot
ton castings.
"Somebuddy's ben fishin' n
got out in a hurry. Well, well;
findin's s keepin's. Bristols r
always handy in these parts.
Luck's with you, Uncle Billy"
He tucked the rods under his
arm and went back to the dock.
AT 1880 they were homeward
bound.
Diana kept absolutely quiet;
and Crawford had tact enough not
to ply her with questions. In the
secret service like himself, and
playing her woman's hand alone
against as accomplished band OF
rogues as ever set the Atlantic
ports by the ears! aud one of them

They reached the farm at 8.
The two men made hand
chair for her and carried her into
the parlor, and laid her on the
sofa. why, Miss Wynne!" said
Uncle Billy amiably, you amt
no fairy"
She laughed.
She's a goddess, Billy" said
Crawford.
The landlady hustled the men
into the hall. Miss Wynne must
be put to bed at once. Half an
hour later she opened the door.
you can come in now, but only
for moment. Billy, Miss Wynne
wants you to send this telegram
right away"
She gave the guide a sealed en-
velope. "The operator is to open
it,"

II shall be out this evening""
said Crawford, approaching the
sofa. I'm going to send for the

Clumsily he touched and press
ed her uninjured hand and went
out, followed by her guide.

And hurry. Do an errand for

At the telegraph office the oper-
