 "You mean you accept our offer?"
 "Yes; I will figure out the proper course, and report to you when the yes sel is at the place you designate. That is all that is asked of me. In return I have your pledge that the ship will be left in good condition, with all who are loyal safe on board?"
 "Yes."
 "There is one more condition, Me Cann."
 "What?"
 "That Miss Darlington be left abso- lutely unmolested by either you or your men, until the time comes for you to take to the boats."
 "Hah! So that is really where the shoe pinches!"
 "We will not quarrel about it-either say yes or mo-"
 "What do you mean by unmolested? Am I prohibited from speaking to the lady?"
 "That is to be left to her choice, not yours. She is to retain the key to her stateroom to eat alone if she prefers, and to see such associates aboard as she desires"
 Liverpool laughed drunkenly.
 .'That ain't the argument" he said easily. "So far as I see, that don't change things none. She's locked her self in anyhow, an won't answer no- body"
 McCann growled something which took to be assent, and I was myself so anxious to ascertain our exact posi- tion as to have no desire for further argument.

And then what happens qp

Anu lnen what nappenSW
 "We will take to the boats, and leave you and your officers to do what you please with the ship"
 "Are all the crew with you in this mutinous deal?"
 The eyes of the two men met, and Liverpool blurted out:
 They'll all do what we say; there's none ov 'em yer kin count on fer ter fight on your side; but maybe there's a couple we won't hay no use for when we take to the boats.'
 "Who are they?"
 ''Thar's no need O my tellin' yer that"
 Well, even with those two this will only give us six able-bodied men; that is not enough with which to bring the Indian Chief into port"
 Tt will be all you'll have, anyhow" said McCann grimly. And you are mighty lucky at that. The drift will be southward, and will take you direct ly into the steamer lane. All you need do is keep steerage way, and wait until you are picked up. You don't imagine we want you sailing into the harbor at St. Johns the same time we get there, do you? Come on now :; stop this talk, and give us an answer"
 For long moment I stood motion less, staring out through the open port at the sunlit waters. It seemed to me my best course was to at least pretend to yield to their wishes. To aequiesce would insure me a measure of free dom on board, an opportunity to learn the exact conditions, and might enable me to save the ship from destruction. AS to McCann, he had some object in all this far more important than ap- peared on the surface. He was never assuming this risk, or investing all this money in an illegal cause, without more serious purpose than an idle desire to return to New York. He was taking a tremendous chance, driv- en by some impulse I could not con- prehend. What was the secret-hate, revenge, greed, love? I would find out sometime; but now I could only grope in the dark, guessing at his mo- tives. Yet knew this-his promises were lies. He would make use of me !; he would induce me to pilot the ship to the spot he desired to attain on the broad bosom of the ocean, and then what? The man would never be fool enough to permit the Indian Chief to sail into any harbor to accuse him of such a crime. Back of all his words,

 I stepped forward, unable longer to restrain the action.
 "You dog of liar!" I said fiercely T know you are armed, but"
 "Wait, Captain Hollis," and her fin. gers caught my arm. "This matter in. wolves me, and wish to hear the facts Go on, please"

NAVY SHY 1000 OFFICERS.
General Board May Send 800 Men Out
Jan. ] From Annapolis.

Washington, Aug. o2.-There is a
shortage of more than 1000 officers in
the navy. Unless some method is de-
vised Immediately for filling the va
cancies in the line it is believed that
the fighting efficiency of the fleets will
seriously be reduced when the agrees
sive program against Germany is in
augurated.
Admirals commanding the various
fleets and units are said to be COM
planning almost daily to the navy de-
partment that their ships can not be
properly unanswered unless they are
given more officers without delay.
The shortage has affected every
branch Of the service. The department
has comhed the retired list and placed
every former officer who is capable OF
rendering any service on the active list.
For the most part these men are physi-
cally incapable of bridge or deck duty,
and they have been assigned to land
posts. where they are being entrusted
with work of the most confidential
character but which does not entail
great physical or mental straip.
The present shortage of more than
1000 will be more than doubled within
the next six months unless action Is
taken Immediately to supply the de-
mand.
The navy general board has can
vassed the situation generally and has
suggested two methods Of meeting the
demand. The first is to graduate 800
midshIpmen, who have completed two
and one-half years Of their four yAr
course at Annapolis on Jan. l. and to
graduate tho next class next Septem-
Der. This would reduce the shortage
TO 400. The plan is to take these
youngsters and give them short inten-
sive courses which would prepare them
for specific duties.
The second and more important sug-
gestion made by the board is to comb
the naval reserves for capable men
who may be given Junior commissions.
The navy department records show
that a high grade type of men entered
the reserves when war was declared.
Many OF them are expert yachtsmen.
Others have specialized in various
branches OF seamanship. These men at
present are rated as enlisted men or
petty officers, and are doing the work
that ordinary recruits are accustomed
