shrill startled curse and caught the
CLEAN of long bright blade.
He struck with every ounce of his
weight, viciouNy, killingly. Inky
darkness again and the thud of fall
ing body, muffled groan, the clat-
ter of a machete on the deck.
Then deathly silence in the cabin
Hawley found his matches. and struck
another light. The negro, grotesque-
ly inert, lay spread+eagled on the
deck in front of the door. At his
feet lay a bright new machete.
A gust of wind from the open door
and Hawley's match was out. He
tossed the automatic aside, CROPPED
for a moment about the deck and fin
ally caught up the machete.
He called sharply to Nancy, told
her to follow him. She did not ans
wer. Collapsed, probably. Well, no
matter. She was in no immediate
danger.
The patter of bare feet on the deck
outside warned him that he had no
time to lose if he was to get out of
the cabin. He leaped toward the door
The corner of the table struck his
hip and he went spinning to his knees.
AS he picked himself up, he heard

When he reached it, a moment
later, it was locked. He, heard Ben
nington shout:
"Jose. A lantern. Quick"
Oh, he thought fast, did BeEning-
ton. With a lantern hanging over
the door, he could stand back in the
shadow and fill Hawley full of lead
if he broke out.
The fear of death spurred the trap
ped man to haste. Viciously he drove
the machete into the door. 1t was not

strokes of the big knife and it was
shattered.
Bennington still shouted for Ian

Hawley took a good grip on the mach

door. He bowled over someone who
was in his path and fled aft along the

alley between the deckhouse and the

alley between the deckhouse and the
rail.
He reached the stern. The deck
here was no more than passageway
between the low superstructure and
the after rail. 1t was protected from
the forward part of the ship by the
deckhouse and no one could reach
him unless he came along the narrow
port or starboard passageways.
The lieutenant stopped there and
caught up on his breathing. For the
time being he was safe. No one would
venture down those alleyways in the
inky blackness of the overcast night.
Daylight, however, would be another
story.
A faint glow in the eastern sky
warned him that dawn was close at
hand. Day comes abruptly in the
tropics. In half an hour, at most,
the sun would be up. A half hour in
which to get the upper hand of Ben
nington and his crew.
A shout from Bennington broke in
to the lieutenant's thoughts.
"Hawley. I say, Hawley."
Bennington's voice came from the
top of the deckhouse. Hawley look
ed up quickly. He did not answer
the hail.
"See here, man." Bennington shout
ed after a moment. "You might as
we'll give yourself up. You can't hope
to lick me and this whole crew. Come

Again silence.
"Phil, you're a pig-headed fool!
Come out of there and we'll talk
things over. 1 have no intention of

ooh, dry up!" Hawley shouted. "Of
course you had no intention of harm
ing me when you sent that niger in
to my cabin. He was just paying a
social call, l suppose! With mach
etc for a calling card"
Bennington did not speak for a
time. The schooner's engine coughed
rhythmically and the Wanderer rolled
eastward into the quartering swells.
Then Bennington spoke again. His
words were measured and derisive.
"Hawley, where 10 you think you'll
be when it is daylight"
Hawley made no reply. After
little the other man said:

SYNOPSIS

The Duke, a pleasant, likable youth
OF twenty-three, jobless and broke
enters an unoccupied summer home
in Southampton, seeking shelter from
a terrific rain storm. He makes him.
self at home. Six years ago his
father had died in China. The lad,
Barry Gilbert, does not recollect ever
having had a mother. He Is startled
by the arrival of a butler, WillettS; !;
a chauffeur, Evans: a cook and a
maid. He learns that the son of the
owner of the house, Jack Ridder,
whom the servants had never seen,
is expected. He decides to bluff it
out. His supposed parents have left
for Germany. Next morning he opens
a letter for his mother" and finds
a message from the real Jack, say
ing he could not come, and returning
a hundred-dollar bill. The boys IA
ther had pensioned him into obscu-
rity. Barry pockets the money, in
tending to return it later. On the
way. to Montauk, where he intended
to disappear, he assists Judge Ham
bidge and his daughter, Patricia,
whose car had broken down. Believ-
ing he is Jack Ridder, she invites
him to dinner the following Thurs
day. Barry returns~to Southampton,
deciding to stay a bit longer. Mr..
Rtdder, ST., through his newspaper,
the Globe, accuses Judge Hambidge

Thursdays dinner started off on
the wrong foot.
The Duke wore his new aannels
and his old gray coat. 1t was not a
warm evening, buh he had nothing
else to wear.
He could see Patricia taking him
In. She was lovely in cherry-col-
ored crepe de chine, and the Judge
immaculate in black tie and dinner
jacket. "You said we could fight
things out on the tennis court" the
Duke apologized, land I'm afraid
that stuck In my mind. The truth
Is my luggage hasn't turned up, and
I had to wear anything could
find"
"YOu should have worn a strip "e
bunting, and brought boxing
gloves" the Judge laughed. IF you
and Pat are going at it as you did
at the club"
what would happen If we
agreed about anything?" asked Pa
tricia.
I'D be wrong, Miss cambridge; |
I'D be wrong"
I The retOrt was no more his own
than the shirt on his back, but he
was rewarded for it by an appre-
ciative flash in the girls eyes.
The girl chartered about every
thing.
Hard-boiled. A modern, and
proud of it. Why should people be
proud Of being modern; a state,
like kingship, that you achieved |
merely by being born? And, so far
as modernity was a point Of view,
why preen yourself because you
didn't tbelieVe in anything except |
your own right to be happy?
This girl had had no contact |
with life. Walled about in a pleas
ant garden, she delivered herself of !
smart, brittle opinions Of conditions
she had never experienced. people |
she had never seen. But you
couldn't help liking her. And it be-
gan to be evident that she liked |
him. you're different, at least,"'
she said. Different from any 9TH
er man know. Really not a bit
like rich mans son."
1--WE been on my own a good
WHILE" he reminded her.
Barry learned a good deal about
his adopted father that night.
And, when Patricia left, them for q
few minutes, the Judge repeated,
Hes certainly no sentlmentalist--
that gentleman. We're supposed to
be friends and his paper goes on at

this morning, about his decision In

just sent it to the county clerks Of

shaky. He'd gone for q walk after

the taxi dashed ont Of side street,
just as the woman stepped or the
curb. The driver jammed on his,

"What did the Judge talk about
at the dinner?" Barry asked, chiefly
to change the subject.
II don't know. / haven't seen a
paper today"
Winslow seemed preoccupied, Bar
ry thought, but q mighty fine fel-
low. A famous criminal lawyer, but
so simple and kindly. He was big
chap, loosely put together, and his
graying hair was loosely brushed
back from a face that was square
