PRESCOTT TO SYDNEY
N-CONTTNTrED


CARTON-CONTINUED
You see, sgd, I have found out
there is such thing as to be suffo-
Gated with great comfort and luxury.
that always to be sure of perfect
ease is not always conducive to the
greatest happiness.
This is not treason to Leslie. Syd.
It's just a yearning for the old rest
iessness and uncertainty--for the old
feeling that ALI !. OF my life is not
settled-lor the old expectation that
just around the corner I'm going 10
find something new and thrilling
something that have never known
about before.
At last, sgd, as l see it now, my
road is perfectly straight and it
stretches out such a. long ways ahead
that it makes me tired and I'm
weary just trying to find the end.
It's ajstraight, shady, beautiful road,
sgd. l know that One over which
shall roll along until am old and
gray and can go no farther.
1 hear you say that no one such a
fool as l. You've told me that a good
many times, old friend, and you were
always right, but you must remem-
Der that perhaps no one has been so
foolishly confidential with you as +.
Consequently you have never known
what the others have had in their
hearts. You have never known what
the others have done and kept from
the world. am the only. man you
have known as he has known him
self. I am the only man who has
told you things that he would hardly
confess to himself
We are all fools, sgd, more or less
you for rushing away and 1 for
staying at home while all the time
we both are more or less unhappy
because, with all our hearts, with
only thing we want to do is to get
away from ourselves. There! You
see what you have brought upon
yourself by making me write a fare

will not grow rnawkishly sentimental
again.

But, whatever happens, I win talk
to you over long distance before you

nothing Of any consequence. No one
ever does when he has so much to

You can make up your mind to one

Dear Miss Lee: am in dreadful trou-

advice. My best girl friend has taken my
sweetheart, / don't know whether it Is
spite work or not. He has never paid any
attention to her before. am considered
better looking, more popular and come
from better family. He has no reason

I can't love any boy but him. My .chum
and i are not sore although feel she
talks about me. Would you please tell me
how to win him back.
Well, Joanna, what reason have
you to think this may be spite work?
What have you done to her? You
are starting out wrong. The only
way to get to the kernel is to open
the nut. The next opportunity you
have to speak to the boy friend. you
have perfect right to ask what
you have done to deserve such treat
ment. If he is not gentleman enough
to answer you and try to get to an
understanding then I'd drop him
and think no more about it. He
won't be worth it in that case. Don't
make the mistake of moping. Don't
make the mistake Of being catty and
snippy, either. Be genuine above all
things. And don't spend your life

of hiding.
"As a stowaway I'm pretty well of, !"
he decided. Nothing to do but eat,
drink and sleep, with quiet smoke at
night" He opened his box and dis
tributed it's contents around in the
corners, counting the number of sand
wiches and bottles of drink. Making a
mental calculation he concluded that,
with careful rationing, he would not
suffer for a week. Then making a
pillow Of his coat and box, he lay
down and tried to kill time with sleep.
The noises outside did not alarm
him. Coal was still pouring into the
bunkers, and the tramping of many
feet, accompanied by loud orders and
oaths, convinced him that the search
was still going on. Now that he felt
secure this did not concern him, and
listening dreamily to the confusion of
sounds he dropped off into restful
slumber.
He woke with a start finally. I'm
able at first to collect his senses, he
sat upright and stared around him.
Over his head a stream of electric
light entered through the register.
Outside voices sounded so clear and
distinct that 1t gave him a shock at
first The jar and vibration of the
yacht told him they were under way.
A querulous voice was saying:
"Blake's a fool, Alice. l don't think
this trip will do me any good could
rest at hOme-don't need a change at
all-never did like salt water-sure
to be seasick. Where's Doctor
Alster? He'll have to give ne some
thing to make me sleep. I'm wide
awake's an owl. What's that internal
racket aboutY
~ don't know, uncle. I'll find out.
Please don't excite yourself You
know the doctor says the change will
do you good"
Dick recognized the voice of Alice
Cutler.
1T WON'T" came the explosive con-
tradiction 1T will make me worse !!
Go on deck, and send Blake to me
no, send Doctor Alster! Eve got to
have some relief from this pain. Tell
him to hurry"
There were soft footsteps across
the carpeted floor, and moment later
the cabin door opened and closed
Dick could hear loud, stertorous
breathing Of one in great pain.

pa-Sn through some crooKeu cndu-
mel that required caution The en-
gine-roOm bell clanged repeatedly, and
the yacht varied its speed accordingly
Then came a slight jar and vbra
ton. Sharp orders from Brent an
other jar, and then the propeller
ceased its activity. They were at Val
halla, and the voyagers were landing
Dick listened impatently to the bus
Ting commotion outside until it sub
sided. He waited Il full half hour after
that to make sure they were ashore.
Then he quietly touched the spring
that controlled the secret panel, and
rs the latter flew open he craned h.
head forward The cabin was empty.
With smile Of relief he stepped out.
One foot had scarcely touched the
carpeted floor when shrek that filled
the cabin with echoes startled him.
Around the way from him, with her
back to the opposite wall, crossing her
self with both hands, stood Marie her
eyes bulging with fear She had seen
him emerge from the dusty compart-
ment, materialiZing out Of blank
wall, as it were and all the supersti-
lion of her nature was aroused. Shrek
Ifter shrek filled the cabin.
Dicks first impulse was to step back
and hide again, but the girls discovery
Of him made that course impracticabe.
He closed the panel with a touch Of
the spring, and sprang back into the
gloom Of the cabin. The door Of
stateroom stood open, and through 1t
he plunged without looking around
At almost the same instant Captain
Brent appeared in the cabin, and de-
manded Of the maid, whats the mat
ter? What're you yelling for?"
Marie was unable for a few seconds
to recover her wits. She kept on
shrieking and crossing herself until
the skipper shook her by the arm.

Dick waited TO hear no more. The
stateroOm he was in opened directly
upon the deck. PIE slipped the catch

dark, and there was no one on that
side of the yacht. In the gloom he
saw the dark outlines of trees and

Dick glanced at the end, measured
the distance to the island, and decided
that his safest way would be to drop
overheard and swim ashore. The COM
motion in the cabin, caused by Marie's
screams, had extended to the dock,
and running feet could be heard ap-
preaching.
Climbing over the rail he lowered
himself with a rope until his feet
touched the water. He shivered a lit
tie at the chill, and then dropped
noiselessly in the cold brine and began
swimming quietly toward the shore.
Marie's alarm, after all, helped him,
for it drew the attention Of the whole
crew to the cabin and by the time any

CHAPTER w

Without generalization Dick had
placed himself in the position of be-
ing an eavesdrOpper to every bit of
gossip and conversation that took
place in the main cabin. In planning
to get aboard the Pelican he had hard
ly given consideration to the thought
that the open register would admit
any and all sounds. He was a little
startled when he found how distinctly
even whisper was carried to him. 1t
was as If the cabin was a great sound
ing board, with its focal point Of wave
vibration at the register over his head.
The first night he learned from de-
tached remarks things that both en-
lightened and bewidered him. Steve
Cutler was going on a cruise much
against his own will, through the
urgent advice of Doctor Alster, the
family physician, and of Mr.. Blake,
his private secretary, with Alice, his
niece, as a loving but firm cocoon
spirator. The theory Of Dicks that
the cruise was to hunt for some hid
den treasure received severe jolt.
The yacht was bound for Valhalla,
an island off the southern coast, that
had been fitted up at great expense by
the millionaire for quiet winter re-
sort. 1t was a small Isolated island
without any communication with the
mainland, and far enough from the
lanes of travel to protect the occu-
pants from visitors and curiosity seek
ers.
Cutler was a sick man, according to
the testimony of his physician, and
unless he took rest of few weeks
the inevitable breakdown would fol
low. Angered both at the doctor who
condemned him to q period of isola-
tion, and at nature for playing him
such a shabby trick, the old man
fumed and fretted
When he realized the actual situa-
tion Dick regretted the course he had
taken. The romance of the voyage
suddenly lost its flavor. There was a
chance Of adventure on a deserted is
land, with a party of searchers for
buried treasure; but small privately
owned place, even if it were a mere
dot on the ocean far from land, offered
little of romance and less of adven-
ture.
There would be servants on it, q
small army of them, perhaps; formal
gardens and cultivated fields; conven-
tional summer houses, golf links, ten
mis- courts, and all the artificial inven-
tions of civilization to amuse visitors.
There would be hardly a wild nook or
Granny where he could hide and make
himself comfortable.
Disguised by the outlook, he felt in
clined to abandon all secrecy and step
forth from his place of concealment

the gangplank and landed on the dock
She was still protesting that she had
seen q ghost.

You'd better not tell Mr. Cutler you

the darkness, whats all this noise

and confess. They could do nothing
more than hold him as a stowaway and
make him work for his passage. On
the whole that would not be onerous
The presence OF Alice Cutler would
add a little zest of romance to the
experience.
The second night out his cramped
prison began to tell on his nerves. Too
much inactiOn was worse than too
