seemed to drop away from under

ing. we reached the entrance to
the harbor at an altitude of about
500 feet. We then turned round
and made several big circles
around the harbor all the while
getting higher and higher.

below the surface, the mush-

Put don't you want to see the

the reply to that message" replied
Shute, sitting down and making
himself comfortable for long
wait. ION second guess, do want
to see something else" headed.
Have YOU any newspapers-news-
papers printed in English?"
The operator pointed to a file
of the Paris edition of the New
York Dispatch. Shute grabbed 1t
and began to run his eye over the
last paper of the file.
Buried away on an inside page
was brief cable dispatch headed:
BASEBALL CHAMPIONSHIP
The Philadelphia Nationals
won the so-called worlds baseball
championship today, defeating the
American league champions 1 to
0, and taking the series, four
games to three"
Win Shute threw down the pa
per in deep disgust.
After six hours of waiting, the
operator handed him a cable dis
patch. 1t read:
Ford out OF town. Report TO
American consul, Naples. DO you
need money?
1t was signed by the clubs sec
rotary.
He eabled in answer to address
him care of the consul at Naples,
and went back to the ship in no
hilarious frame of mind. His team
had lost the worlds championship
the plot against him had been
thoroughly successful. And he was
no nearer spotting his enemies
than he was before going ashore.
And Miss Riley didn't care for
baseball. This seemed to cap the
climax.
Aboard ship he ran upon the
ships doctor and the wireless oper-
ator in close confab. Win Shute
was not curious until he caught
the Doctors words:
, THE Giant-killers lost. see by
the Dispatch. and you won. I'll pay
you when we get paid off,"
My tip was pretty good" ad-
mitted Jed Mansel. Il made quite
a killing. Cleaned up two thousand
dollars"
Two thousand?" repeated the
doctor. "You were lucky"
Not lucky-wise," corrected
Mansel, winking slyly. 81 knew
that one of the Giant-killers' best
men couldn't play"
Win Shute was certain the
operator was a crook. He
was a party to the devilish con-
spiracy that had drugged and put
him away on that ship!
Rage such as he had never felt
in all his life consumed him. He
could not curb his desire to hurl
himself upon Mansel and beat him
to fnsensibility. But as he was on
his toes to spring, a restraining
hand was laid upon his arm.
1t was Miss Riley. May l speak
to you, please?"
Reluctantly Win Shute turned
from his enemy. He and Miss
Riley walked along the deck until
they were out of hearing OF every
body.
IL looked for you before the
passengers went ashore" she said.
Guess / was the first one to
land" Win explained.
You see." she went on, then
faltered-"you see-I wanted to
ask a favor of you"
The ships mystery unaccount-
ably flashed across Wins mind!
But he didn't pause second in
replying:
Sure Ask something hard.
Wish I could do q real big favor
for you"

Again she faltered.
Il sure willard look after
you, too, answered Win.
That's so good of you. But
don't trouble about me. It's moth

"a look of unconcealed admiration
she concluded:
But l feel better now. It
seemed to me that you were the
only one on the ship that 7 could

trust mother to-"
Notwithstanding the bitter dis
appointment of the day, Win Shute
went in to dinner that night with
a heart as buoyant as a toy bal
loon. He was planning a walk and
talk by southern moonlight with
Miss Riley.
But all evening she paced the
! deck in earnest conversation with
Jerrold Mansel.
1t was moonlight on the Medi-
terranean, the last night but one
of Win Shute's long voyage to
Naples from Inconsistencies.
1t was early, scarcely dark, but
with a full moon, and together
they were on the lookout for the
first sight of Genoa. They had ar
rived at that important stage in
their acquaintance when the origi-
nal discovery was to be made of
front names.
You've never told me your
name" he urged.
She was plainly embarrassed. 1t
was perfectly justifiable ques-
tion, and there was no reason,
which he could see, why she should
hesitate. Yet she did.
I'm not going to use it'll
you want me to-"
"Oh, it's not that-not that at
all. I'd be glad to have you call
me-Imogen. It's lmogen."
"Imogen Riley" repeated Win.
Say, that's some name. If Id
named you myself, I'd have called
you-Imogen."
Mother will be glad" And she
laughed.
Now. what's your manner" she
asked.
1t was his turn to be fused"
and to hesitate. MY middle

She edged away a trifle.
"Winton James is an excellent
name," she declared. 81 don't be-
lieve l would have 1t anything

He kicked the rail with his toe.
1t was an impatient kick. Mas

But they didn't.

Naples. AS the Colonia was man.
euvering to dock, he saw on the
wharf, scanning every face look
ing down from the big black ship
Iris Ford.
Ashore it's customary for an ac-
com mediation train to be side
tracked for an express-for one
person to leave after a friend and
beat him to their common destiDa-
ton. But when in sea travel no
other ship overtakes ard passes
you, it is curious, almost prefer
natural, to have friend you had
left at home greet you on your
steamers arrival in a foreign port.
This experience was all the more
inexplicable to Win Shute because
of scheduled intervening events.
The cablegram from the club
secretary informed him of the
manager absence from the city,
but the idea that Iris Ford was on
his way to Europe hadn't suggest
ed itself to the 'shanghaied" ball
player.
AS Win Shute learned after
ward, the manager of the Giant
killers had kept his objective a
secret from every living soul save
his VITO. Even the cluL officials
supposed, for several days, that
the manager had slipped quietly
out of the city to rest after tile
hardest fought diamond battle in
the records of the national game.
The big series ended on Tues
day, and at / a. m. next morning
iris Ford, under the nom de mer
of Arson Jones, had sailed on the
Lauretania. The following Mon
day morning he landed at Fish
guard, boarded the special train
for Dover, crossed the cantanker-
GUS Channel, and arrived in Paris
in the afternoon. Ford left the
Care de Lyon at 10 O'CLOCK that
night, and after a night, day,
and a second night on the train
de luxe arrived in Rome early
Tuesday morning.
The Colonia wasn't due at Ma
pies until the next day. He was
at the palace leased by the Hon.
John Bismer, American Ambas-
sador to Italy, before that Chi
cago millionaire had finished his
breakfast.
The ambassador was expecting
Ford. John Bismer's boss, the
President of the United States,
was a thirty-third degree fan; also
the White House staff were fans
down to the clerk who addressed
the social invitations; and when
the assistance of Washington had
been solicited in the hunt for the
king of second basemen and the
pursuit of his kidnapers, all other
Government business, foreign and
domestic, was hunted into second
place.
So Ambassador ~Bismer was
more than cordial in his greeting
of the manager of the Giant-kill-
,ers.
