So far. good; Parr wasted no moro

q hasty examination persuaded Parr
that he had suffered no really serious

with NO more than conventional,
"Thank you SO much!" she c0olly

and striding over, warmly shook the

Behind his back the girls voice rang

instinctively whipping an automatic
from his pocket.
He saw her squirting full-tilt at the
japanese. That one, 1t seemed, had
quietly regained his senses and got
to his feet, simultaneously producing
q pistol of his own. But he had no

fl0tilla of pleasure craft which dotted
the inner harbOr with hundred slen-
der, wraithlike shapes of silver.
The night was clear. calm, and very
still. Sounds travelled far over its
FURNISHED waters. Even above the dip
and slither of his own oars, Parr
could hear, as he pulled. the creak OF
other Oar-lOcks; and as he laid along
side his speed launch and stood up to
help Patria board it. he distinctly
heard somewhere near by the drum Of
two other motors start up almost Si-
multureously.
Was one HurOki's? Parr wondered.
Was that gentleman's hasty departure
from the Claiming cottage but a pre-
lude to a mad dash with an aim like
unto their own?
Running forward. he cast off the
mOOring, then came aft again and.
preparatory to starting the engine, shot
home the ignition switch.
Instantly with mutfled defamation and
brilliant flash, the gasoline tank in the
bows exploded.
Blinded, half stunned, Patria reeled
back into the captains arms. and for
moment remained there. while both
struggled to recover from the shock.
But Parr was less aware Of her in tn.
intimate position than might have
been expected, even the bewildering
circumstances considered. For there
was but one thought coherent in the
turmoil Of his mind:
The electric wiring must have been
purposely diverted to the tank in OF.
der to cause this explosion when the
switch was closed.
An enemy had done THE thing. -.
Duly he heard voice shouting:
"Mees Claiming! Mees Patria! This
way-I save you!"
Patria disengaged from PARIS arms:
he rubbed his eyes, looked, and saw
another power boat stapding along
side. In 1t, fishing with bOathOOk
for the side of the launch, stood Senior
Juan dc Lima.
Wit, much excuse Parr thought this
rescue oddly oppOrtune. Then the
boatho0k caught the gunwale; the two
small craft swung nearer together. De
Lima leaned perilously out, Offering
Patria hand. She caught it, jumped,
landed safely. Parr climbed up on the
side and prepared to follow. But
while posing for the leap. he saw the
water swiftly widen between him and
safety.
De Lima was not waiting for him.
Very much to the contrary, the Next
can was deliberately pushing off.
Parr cursed him literally, finding in
this sufficient proof that the explosion
had been no mere accident-even as
there had been nothing adventurous
about the timely coming Of De Limn's
boat. Patria was wanted; he, Donald
Parr; was rot-was to be left to burn
and, drown. That he purposed doing
neither was beside the point.
But the Mexican's stratagem failed
in its upsaot. Parr laughed aloud to
see De Lima turn back to re-enter the
cockpit Of his vessel and. find himself
nose to nose with a small but decid-
eddy wicked-looking pistol in Patria =

With a scream of mingled fright and
surprise the Mexican dropped the boat

hor took him to its bosom. Great and
