And he crouched still closer over

thumb of his left hand, which had
been bitten deep by the others
teeth, throbbed and smarted with
pain. His lip was torn. His
breath was still coming in gasps.
The ache OF utter WEAKNESS was
In all his limbs. But the ordeal
was over, and he sat there DULY
and foolishly happy.
Then he frightened his hold on
I Lambert and lifted him to a sitting
posture. He was able to stagger
to his feet with that inert
enemy, always making sure Of his
hold. That enemy's arm, as

his captive along the dark length
Of the wharf, feeling his way az

door with his skeleton-key. This
took him some time, for he was
O little dizzy and his hands were
numb and his fingers shaking.
But the triumph faded out of his
heart, for his thoughts at that
inapposite moment went back to
Maura Lambert.
He remembered that he was very
thirsty. Then he felt through his
pockets for cigar. He found moth.
ing more than some powdered to-
bacco leaves. He thought next Of
the telephone. But he decided to
recover his lost revolver first
and also his shoes, for his feet were
bruised and sore. Yet he relished
least Of all the thought OF being
there without a gun.
He CROPPED weakly about, trying
to strike matches on his moist
trouser leg. When he came to an
open crate Of olive oil tins he sat
down. He concluded it would be
best to rest there for a moment or
two, for he felt light-headed, i'm
pressed with the idea that the oak
flooring under him was gently but
perceptibly oscillating, heaving
back and forth with wave-like
regularity. He laughed a little as
he leaned forward and turned one
Of the olive oil tins over and over
in his hands. Then he was dimly
conscious of the doors at the wharf
end being swung open, Of hurrying
figures with lanterns, of the light
ening grayness of the world beyond
the wide NAV Of the door, of the
call OF voices through the cavern
Gus gloom of the wharf shed itself.

But he did not forget that Lambert
was safely locked in the little IRON
clad storage room next to the pier
office.

match was asking as he handed a
pocket flask back to a second stoop-
ing figure beside him.
I'm all right" was Kestner's
slowly articulated answer, after
blinking for a moment, or two up
into the face Of the ever-depend-
able Wilsnach. He stared about
him for another moment or two.
Then he remembered.
i've got Lambert" he quietly
announced.
He turned himself about, so that
he faced the end Of the pier. where
the lights, were clustering round
the locked door of the storage
room. Some one, he finally COM
pretended, was pounding on that
door with a piece Of timber. Kest-
ner started dizziiy but determined
ly to HIS feet.
"Get that man away was his
jealous command. IT don't want
any interference with my pris-
oner."
you've got him in there?" de-
manded the incredulous Wilsnach.
i've got him there" said Kest-
ner as he leaned forward and be-
gan to pull on the pair Of shoes
which Wilsnach had dropped be-
side him! "
Wilsnach, however, did not wait
for his colleague. He pulled a pair
Of nippers from his pocket as he
ran. And he ran straight for the
storage room. He pushed through
the group with the lanterns as the
door gave way. Kestner could see
the flicker Of his flashlight inside
the small chamber. That invasion
and that interrogative shaft Of
light angered him. This was a
personal matter. And here was a
case and a prisoner that was en-
tirely his own.

ing his advance. The nippers
were still in his hand. He
looked at them foolishly, as though
he dreaded meeting Kestner's eye.
Wilsnach's face seemed heavy and
colourless in the uncertain light.
Yet there was something solemn
and authoritative about it as he
clutched at the doorpost. He even
refused to move aside as Kestner
pushed peevishly against him.
"I want that man." proclaimed
the Secret Agent.
Wilsnach looked at him almost
pityingly. He, looked at him, for
a long time.
"You can't have him." he said
at last.
''What?" It was more a bark
than a definitely articulated inter.
rogation.
Wilsnach put the handouts in
his pocket and caught his friend
by the arm, just below the elbow.

PORTIA

CHAKESPEARB called one of hi
~ most charming and lovable hero
ines by a name which has q slngularly
unpleasant significance: Portia II
translated from the Latin to mean "of
the pigs" It comes from porous, the
Roman word for swine, and the Porcii
were breeders of pigs, according to the
agricultural designations Of the old
Latin. But the Romans did not scorn
that particular beast and thought moth
ing Of bestowing its name on several
other clans.
Cato's daughter was called Porcia |;
or, as the Italians spelled it, Porzia.
Her fame brought the name into great
popularity in her native land. Shake
speare took 1t for his play:
"Catos daughter, Brutus' Portia.
:"
In "The Merchant of Venice" he
uses the version which he coined to
name the lovely heroine who defeats
the crafty Shylock and saves her low
er's life. Like Juliet, Portia is be
loved as an ideal of womanly beauty,
and her name has ceased to be re-
garded as a fanciful creation and now
ranks with the feminine appellatives
commonly bestowed.
The sapphire is Portals talismanic
gem. 1t is said to attract for her d.
vine favor and to preserve her from
all evil. Friday is her lucky day and 2
