storm, taken on II distinct personal
ity; she was something more than
teak and steel; something more than
an inanimate man-driven thing.
And what of the other the sleek,
handsome yacht, with her white
enamel. her polished brass, her daz-
Zling awnings? A plaything. a rich

fact that there would always be an

had no socialistic ideas. But he hated

CHAPTER XIX.

So the yacht Elsa had turned up at
last? william eyed her gloomily and
with hostile speculation. He could
not deny that she was a thing OF
beauty among all the nondescript
craft which dotted the harbor How
dingy the good old Ajax looked in
the background, with her SCARED
plates. her peeling paint. her rusty
anchor chains! Gulls were wheeling
circles around her; lighters were
thick under her ports; her booms were
busy in the service of commerce.
She looked like great bumblebee
which had fallen prey to an army of
watcrbugs. She would be carrying
tea all the way to San Francisco. She
had place in the world this homely
Ajax; she was serving mankind hon

the yacht. He would bump their
heads together, come what might.
A Cingalese boatman, his mouth and
chin spattered with the juice Of the
beetel nut, hailed William eagerly.
"Sahib wants boat?"
mo. Clear out and don't bother
me-"
The Cingalese grinned airily and
moved on.
How long had the Elsa been in the
harbor? When was she going to haul
up her cables? This last he must
know definitely. Was Colburton on
board or ashore? This little puzzle
was shortly Strengthened out for him.
Three men came on to the pier. From
their talk William assumed that they
were officers in mufti. Servants trail
ed along behind, carrying huge kit
bags and many gun cases.
Il call this luck! TO make our sta

"Colburton is good sort. the in

wynd kill two black panthers up
around Perak last spring? All. here
comes the launch for us. Wen be
able to pick up few quid on the
way. Colburton plays a rotten game

Neither Camden nor Colburton was
aboard the launch. William did not
know whether he was relieved or
sorry.
What yacht is that" he asked,
casually, as the boatswain made fast.
Elsa, out Of New York"
where's she bound?"
"Perak," said the boatswain. not
very civilly.
This was welcome news to William.
The Elsa would be out Of the way for
at least eight weeks. He could now
go through India and Burma without
looking over his shoulder every time
he passed an alley after dark. What

the Elsa. not because she was beyond
his possession or represented one of
the higher forms of luxury; she was
a~little' kingdom which, to a certain
extent, was beyond the reach of mans
laws, ruled by a scoundrel whose
lightest within, right or wrong, was
the only law. He could not help Won
dering how many women had cried
their hearts out, too late, behind those
glistening ports.
For an hour or more he watched the
launch which bobbled at the foot OF
the ladder. He hoped Camden or Col
burton, or both, would come ashore.
He would speak to them civilly; and
if they accepted his warning.
But would words mean anything? What
was he to either but scum under
foot? They would either lie easily or
ignore him and pass on. If he fought
them and beat them-which is what
really appealed to his present mood
there would be the internal British
law again. Bombay, Calcutta. Ran

ish ports; he was only a lone red
headed Irishman, while yonder man
was a millionaire. 1t wouldn't be
worth his while to beat them up and
go to jail for it like a drunken sailor.
He was literally surrounded by blind
alleys.
They were following Ruth. There
was nothing arguable about this con-
clusion. They had not given up the

girl had. Colburton was rich: he had
all the leisure in the world; he could
bide his time.
William could understand certain
phases of this ignoble pursuit. But
what he could not understand was
the persistence of it against the es-
tablished fact that the girl was un-
willing. He could not see where the
zest Of the chase came in under these
conditions. To pursue something
some one, that loathed you and had
made 1t patent to your face, suggest
ed a mental makeup wholly beyond
normal understanding. Hadn't that
morning in Venice been conclusive?
What more did the man want? Yet
there he was, waiting patiently

From behind, in the dark?
If the girl was fool enough to cast
her lot with a man like Colburton
why, there was nothing more to be
said. You ould not argue with a
woman so put clothes and good
times above her soul. You wasted
your breath. But when the girl had
looked into the pit at her feet and
drawn back, when she had fed temp
tation, fought and conquered it, as
he knew Ruth had. Well, it
was all past his understa nding.
Without much difficulty he could
fancy the girls state of mind She
had failed in the work she loved: a
little thing like nerves had barred
her from fame and money. No doubt
she had been desperate; and the devil
always held a Colburton in reserve
for this moment. But the innate
good in her had won out. He never
forgot the prayer; the memory of ii
was always coming back and filling
his throat. Yet that black scoundrel
did not intend to give her up.

victory depends upon the last word.
William turned and marched away,
whistling cheerfully. Anyhow. the
jackal and his master would under
stand that the brindle watch dog was
loose in the front yard O. nights.
Then. too late, he realized that his
gamin's instincts had betrayed him.
Camden would now be on the watch
for him. There would be no catching
him unaware.
Next morning, when the tourists
boarded the Ajax, william was very
glad to note that the Elsa had cleared
out early. What sister Ruth did not
know she would not worry about. Not
only was he going to play the watch
dog. but he was going to play 1t with
out her suspecting in the least. Only
the Cumaean Sibyl could have picked
a flaw in his gayety that morning.
He romped with the children and
played for them, jested and laughed
with everybody. from the aloof mis-
sioners down to the little girl who
had fallen in love with the chief off,
Ger; and all the while his Irish heart
was heavy with u mans burden IN
which there were hopeless love, pain
and bewilderment Of doubt since what
he really knew OF Ruth's story was
based on half-truths and supposi-
tions. He did not care what she had
done: his faith in her lay in what
she had not done.

FINALLY SUBDUE FOREST FIRE
Conflagration Which Threatened
Overwhelming Destruction.

A forest fire that threatened, in IL
days of unimpeded destruction, to con-
sumo the whole of Angeles national
forest, in southern California, was
finally brought under control by the
desperate efforts of hundreds of volun-
teers. The unceremonious drafting of
curiosity seekers swelled the ranks of
the fighters until, in one district alone,
around Pomona, more than 1000 were
working day and night to stay the on
rushing flames. The kindling of tre-
mendous back fires at critical points,
guided by airplane inspection, sue
ceeded in holding the fires within the
originating area. Many resorts and
summer homes were menaced, but
only few cabins were lost. AS a re-
suit of the fire. the city waterworks
of Pasadena is to be protected by a
giant firebreak, which will be con-
structed Immediately by the rangers
