Bradford, and he stopped Pete with
an outstretched hand.
There had been few more cerrify
ing seconds in Pete's life.
He halted, breathless and deathly
pale under his brown wind-tan and
sunburn. The officers eyes were
friendly: indeed he seemed less
aloof, more companionable than
ever before. "Come here, Aleck,
he said easily to the man in front.
Bradford turned with no look Other

-Limejuice Pete to his friends.
Pete, this is Mr.. Bradford, of the

new trap he was crafty enoguh to
find, and he's in need of some good
labor. You were going toget off
up here ways anyhow-why don !
you ask for a job here with Mr..
Bradford?"
Until this moment Peter had
never realized how completely his
appearance had been changed.
Now, as Bradford gazed straight at
him without even a hint of rocogni-
ton, with no sign that this bearded
sailor even recalled any one he ha |
met, the fugitive's self-confidence
mounted like a flame. 'Pd be
mighty glad to work here h said
quietly, eff Mr.. Bradford can use
me-"
II can use you, all right. I'll put
you on the web-crew at the usual
wages. I've never quite caught up
with myself since l lost so many of
my best men in the Jupiter disaster.

ing by when that happened"
yes. We'd gone to help the Wig
ten-same as your boat, l guess.
Pete, here, was on the Vigten-the
single survivor. Of course, we put
out a boat and cruised around until
there was no hope of finding any
one else alive-then went on with
out waiting for the dead to drift
ashore. We picked up Pete more
or less alive on the shore, and how
he got through those reefs was a
miracle. We saw, just dimly in the
dawn, the Jupiter break up, but
she was too far away for US to help.
How many men did you lose on the
Jupiter when she went down?"

would recognize him as Peter Nev-

below and remain IN hiding.

He never let her forget his suit,
one moment in an hour. He played
to her, he brought her gifts, price
less but always in perfect taste
curios out of the east, rare works
of art from his own ancestral castle
in the Urals. In her warmer moods
he urged immediate marriage, and
when she was cool and unrespon-
sive he begged for her promise Of
future surrender to him, when time
had healed the wound of Peters
loss.
One night in the second year he
had brought her a marvellous blue
diamond priceless thing with a
sinister history-and he had want
ed her to take it as a symbol Of
engagement; and that night she had
been strangely, deeply afraid of
him. She had let the stone gather
fire to her hand, and when she
had taken it off and put it in his
palm it was as if its cruel, hard,
inadvertently beautiful light had
passed to his thin lace. Keep it 4

when her old gaiety returned to
her, when she again took her plae .
in the smart southern society, his
long courtship would be crowned
with success. But he did not at

she did not fully understand it her

She had received, long since, her

she had received a letter-one that

also illumined her point of view in
