 l shrugged my shoulders.
 'The intercourse between us is not likely tC be very friendly one," I said. But let my affairs go for the moment. Let me ask you this Shall I see you in Morcaqua?'
 Probably as much as you desire to-" she answered. T have not been allowed to take such a journey as this for years. and If he ever knows that I tried to warn you against ct ming I shall never be allowed to leave the island again."
 From me-" I assured her, "he never will. At least, if 1 am to see something of you. life in Morcaqua cannot be all misery"
 She grtpped my arm so tightly that it seemed to me her fingers were meeting in my flesh.
 If you have the slightest chance to escape. seize it. If you can avoid coming to Morcaqua, even at the risk of your llfe-take that risk. Re member my words. Be silent now!"
 Anthony's soft voice sounded in our ears.
 Tt is very fortunate" he said, Chat you are already acquainted with Miss Hoyt?"
 "Why so?" I asked
 Surely you know" he said. 'It Is Miss Hoyt's father who Is so anxious to have the honor Lf making your acquaintance"
 Early on the fifth morning of our voyage we stopped in waste of green waters. Anthony pointed to barren rock.
 "Welcome," he said, ito Mcrcaqua!'
 What In the name of all that Is marvellous" I said. "can l have been brought here for?"
 A soft voice from behind answered me. Margaret Hoyt was by my side.
 You will know very soon now she said. Look, the pinnace Is ct m ing out for us."
 My introduction to Margarets s father was a curious one. She her self led me to him, and l saw at once from his instinctive movement in my direction, and the curious poise or his head, that he was blind.
 Father" she said, bending over him and kissing him lightly upon the forehead. MT. AthefStone IS here. I had no share in bringing him, as the others will doubtless tell you. If he had taken my advice he would not be here. l shall leave you alone"
 She passed on inside the low door way which led into long wooden house. MT. Hoyt extended a very white hand towards me but I did not rise from my seat. By the side of his basket chair stood pair of crutches. As recompense for his afflictions he possessed the handsomest face and magnificent white hair had ever seen.
 You are welcome to Morcaqua. Mir. Atherstone," he said, T am delighted that my emissaries were able to pre- vail upon you to pay us pisit."
 What do you want of me-" l asked bluntly.
 MT. Hoyt seemed to fall in with my mood.
 You shall hear" he said. You are a junior member of a great firm of engineers, and I am informed that branch of your business is de- voted to mining. You may wonder why I have chosen to make summer home In what seems to be a very barren island. I will tell you: It Is because these few miles Of soil

 Tt is more than likely" Sir Will liam remarked. MT. Atherstone is one of those who bring water from builds bridges In impossible places.

Lady Marsham rose wearily up and took his arm, so I was left alone with Miss Hoyt. "Tomorrow, then, MT. Atherstone," she said, you are going homer"
 "we sail at daybreak." I an swered
 And what time does the American boat arrive?"

 Ut means a very fast passage" answered, doubtfully.
 Tt is you" she said, "who are the cause of it."
 I I looked at her in blank amaze ment. She met my gaze without flinching.
 Yes! There are men on her who l wished to intercept you. Ihe cap tain has been bribed."
 "To intercept me-" repeated vaguely, Dear Miss HCyt. you are mistaking me, I am sure, for some enc, else. I am Phillip Atherstone a salaried engineer, person of nc consequence whatever. I have few friends and certainly no enemies"
 She waved my words aside as 1 of no mement.
 Listen to me-" she said, "an offer will be made to you to undertake | some work for a country which you | have probably never visited be- fore. On no account must you ac- cept this offer. Promise me that you will sail on the Argonaut what ever happens"
 I plucked the letters from my | pocket.
 You write these?" I exclaimed.
 She merely glanced at them. "Yes! I wish to serve you. l dc net choose to see you become the tool of interruptions men. Give me your faithful promise: You will sail on the Argonaut, whatever happens?'

 When the awarded Pulitzer prizes for the years best this and best that in journalism and literature ap- pear red in the Columbia university commencement program as part of its record, the flat assumption be- fore the public Is that the advisory board of the Pulitzer School of Journalism has examined every rything eligible done along those various lines during tho last year.

Face to face with me in a suit of spotless white and smoking a cigarette of Havana l tobacco was Anthony.
 Good morning, MT. Atherstone," he said, pleasantly. T trust that you have slept well. As you see, we are well on our way"
 GorrinC also came up and greeted me.
 l laughed shortly.
 You will have a great deal of ex- plaining to do, my young friend" l declared, when I get you before an English counsul in Brazil"
 "Brazil?' he chuckled. "I must laugh Brazil. No! I was never there in my life!"
 You are not, then" I asked calmly Ian official of the government of Brazll?"

 I looked from one to the other.

 MT. Anthony shrugged his shoulders.
 My dear sir" he said, deprecat- ingly, "why assume that there need be any concealment about 1t? There should indeed be none. We are bound for the island of Morcaqua"
 Anthony laid his hand lightly upon my shoulder.

 I made my way amidships. To my surprise I found the whole of my | belongongs in stateroom. l un- packed a few things, changed my clothes and went up on deck with an armful of books, and then promptly dropped them all over the place. For coming toward me was Miss Hoyt
