thing. Estada lay in his bunk, with
one leg dangling outside, and his head
crooked against the side wall. His

fellow lay in heap with no percep'
tiblc heart-hcat, no scmblancc of
breathing. My fingers sought his face,
and | could scarcely suppress a cry of
surprisc--he was not EStada. Who,
then, was he? What could have been
his purpose in thus invading this
stateroom? All l could grasp was the
fact that the fellow was not the Por-
tugueSe-he possessed a smooth face,
long hair, and was a much smaller
man. ! dragged the body where the
light illumination from the after port
fell directly on the upturned face. The
features revealed were unfamiliar
those unquestionably Of half-breed
Indian. Dorothy crossed to my side
her foot striking a knife, which came
glmmerlng into the narrow range Of
light. She stared in horror at the
ugly weapon, and then mt the ghaStIy

"He came to murder! See his knife
lies there. Why should he have sought

She shrank back from touching the

combined Efforts of both to force the
stif'ening body through the portfolio.
We could distinguish footsteps on the
deck above, but these were regular
and undlsturbed--the slow promenade
from rail TO rail of the officer on
watch. Clearly nothing had been
heard or seen TO awaken suspicion.

Our first job was executed much
more easily than | had anticipated,
We caught Manuel sound asleep, and
LcYerc had sincwy hands at his throat
before the fellow could grasp a
weapon. The uarrowncsS Of the state
room prevented my taking much part
in the affair. hut the mulattO needed
no help, as he dragged the cursing
Spanurd from his bunk 10 the deck
and thrOttlcd him sayagely Indeed
he would have killed the fellow had
| not intcrfCred and twisted his hands
loose leaving Estevan barely con
scious. A blanket ripped into strips
served to bind him securely enough
for the present, but l thought IT best
to lock the door, and keep the key in
my own pocket. LeVerc would have
knitted him even aS he lay there help
less. but for my threat and insistence
Once back in the cabin my eyes dis
tlnguiShed the frightened face of the
steward pecring forth at us from out
the dark Of the passage leading for

stcrnly. "Stcp lively lad; thorc'snoth'
