Thrusting It back quickly, he clarped both envelopes together, tore them Into hundred fragments, and scat tered them from the window. But the fiendish wind whisked one small scrap back and only one! Into the lap of the woman ho loved. Vainly be rayed that she might be asleep. The silken lashes trembled on her cheeks and lifted slightly, dis closing the dark glimmer of question ing eyes. And as she clipped the scrap of cardboard between thumb and fore finger he bent forward and silently took It from her one corner of the trey of hearts, but Inevitably a corner bearing the figure "3" above a heart "The Pullman agent at Portland wires no reservations available on any New York train In the next thirty-six hours," he said with lowered voice. "Couldn't we possibly catch the Now York boat tonight?" He shook a glum head. "No I looked that up first. It leaves before we get In." She said, "Too bad," abstractedly, reclosed her eyes, and apparently lapsed anew Into semi-somnolence but without deceiving him who could well guess what poignant anxiety gnawed at her heart. He could have ground his teeth In exasperation the impish Insolence of that Tarning, timed so precisely to set their nerves on edge at the very mo- Ho Could Have Ground His Teeth In Exasperation. ment when they were congratulating themselves upon the approach of a respite! The sheer Insanity of the whole damnable business ! The grim, wild absurdity of it!

He nodded heavy-hearted confirma tion of a surmise slowly settling Into conviction In his mind, that such cun ning, such purpose and pertinacity could not possibly spring from a mind well balanced, that the woman, Judith Trine, sister to the Rose he lored so well, waa as mad as that monomaniac, bar father, who sat helpless in his t ill &P f. r si -V.. ," S n.iiin ! mil iii.-n.lrV !! of illenra and shadows In New V ik.

CHAPTER X. I Fortuity. He wasted the better part of sn hour In fruitless and perhaps III advised Inquiries; then bis luck, such as It was, led him on suspicion down a poorly lighted wharf, at the n- I treme end of which b d.coered a ! lonely young man perched atop a pile. I bands In pockets, gaze turned to a tide whereon, now black r.Vht bad fallen, pallid wraiths of yachts swung Just Tlslbly beneath utu.isy riding- j lights. 'Tardoa me." Alan ventured, "but , perhaps you can help me out ' "You've come to the wrong shop, my ! friend." the young man Interposed 1 with morose civility; "I couldn't help j anybody out of anything the way I j am now." I "I'm sorry." said Alan, "but I ' thought possibly yoo might know where I could find a seaworthy boat to charter." The young man sllrped amartly down from bis perch. "If you don't look sharp." he said ominously, "you'll charter the Seaventure." He waved his hand toward a tessel moored alongside the wharf: "There sho Is. and a better boat you won't find any where schooner-rigscd, fifty foot over all, twenty-five horsepower, motor aux iliary, two staterooms all ready for as long a coastwise cruise as you care to take. Como aboard." He led briskly across the wharf, down a gangplank, then aft along the deck to a companion way, by which the two men gained a comfortable and roomy cabin, bright with fresh white enamel. Here the light of the cabin lamp re vealed to Alan's searching scrutiny a Tcrson of sturdy build and Indopendent carriage, with a roughly modeled, good-humored face, reddish hair, and steady though twinkling blue eyes. "Name, Barcus," the young man In troduced himself cheerfully; "chris tened Thomas. Nativity, American. State of life, flat broke. That's the rub," he laughed, and shrugged, shame faced. "I found myself hard up this Bpring with this boat on my hands, sunk every cent I had and then some fitting out on an oral charter with a moneyed blighter in New York, who was to have met me hero a fortnight since. He didn't and here I a:n, in pawn to the ship chandler, desperate enough for anything." "How much do you owe?" 'Tpwards of a hundred." "Say I advanced that amount when can we sail?" The young man reflected briefly. "There's something eo engagingly idi otic about this proceeding," he ob served wistfully. "I've got the strang est kind of a hunch It's going to go through. Pay my bills, and we can be off Inside an hour. That Is" He checked with an exclamation of dismay, chapfallen. "1 may have some trouble scaring up a crew at Bhort notice. I bad two men engaged, but last week they got tired doing noth ing for nothing and left me flat." "Then that's settled," Alan said. "I know boats; I'll be your crew and the better satisfied to have nobody else aboard." The eyes of Mr. Barcus clouded. "See here, my headlong friend, what's your little game, anyway? I don't mind playing the fool on the high Beas, but I'll be no party to a kidnaping or " "It's an elopement," Alan interrupt ed on Inspiration. "We've simply got to get clear of Portland by midnight." "You're on!" Barcus agreed prompt ly, his face clearing. "God only knows why I believe you, but I do and here's my hand!" CHAPTER XI. Blus Water. Anxiety ate like an acid at Alan's heart. If this shift to the sea might be thought a desperate venture, hi waa a weathered salt-water man and undismayed; nothing would have been more to his liking than a brisk coast wise cruise In an able Boat under auspices less forbidding. But when he re-entered the hotel one surprising thing happened that gave him new heart momentarily It seemed almost as if his luck had turned. For, ae he paused by the desk of the cashier to demand his bill, the elevator gate opened and Rose came out eagerly to meet him with an eager air of hope that masked measurably the signs of fatigue. "1 worried so I couldn't rest," she told him guardedly as he drew ber aside; "so I arose and got ready, and watched from the window till I saw you drive up." By Louis Joseph Vance i lie acquainted her briefly atth his fortune. Hut she seemed unable to echo his confidence or eten to otervoine the beavliiiwa of her spirits when their rab, without mUadvcntura, set thaw down s( tha wharf. Here, Alsn bad feared, aaa the cru el til point of danger If the Influence of thn trey of hearts was lit bring d!ter upon them It would be here.

Hut nothing hap pened; while Mr. Harcus was aa good as bla word. Alsn had barely set foot on deck, following the girl, when the gangplank came aboard w ith a clatter, and tho Seaventure swung away from the wharf. Until the distance was too great for even a flying leap Alan lingered watch fully on deck. At length, satisfied that all was well, he returned to the cabin. "All right," he nodded; "we're clear of that lot. apparently; nobody but the .M -.5.) "7 She Whips Out a Gun three of us aboard. Now you'd best turn In. This is evidently to be your stateroom, this one to port, and you'll have a long night's sleep to make up for what you've gone through dear est" He drew nearer, dropping his voice tenderly. And of a sudden, with a little low cry, the girl came into hla arms and clung paslonately to him. "But you?" she murmured. "You need rest as much as I! What about you?" "Oh, no I don't" he contended. "Be sides I'll have plenty of time to rest up once we're fairly at sea. Barcus and I Btand watch and watch, of course. There's nothing for you to do but be completely at your ease. But you must let me go." Eyes half-closed, ber head thrown back, she seemed to duffer his kiss rather than to respond, then turned hastily away to her stateroom leav ing him staring with wonder at hor strangeness. By midnight the Seaventure waa spinning swiftly south-southeast, close reefed to a snoring Bou'weet wind the fixed white eye of Portland head light fast falling astern. CHAPTER XII. Down the Cape. At four o'clock, or shortly after, Alan was awakened by boot-heels pounding imperatively overhead, and went on deck again, to stand both dog watches saw the sun lift up smiling over a world of tumbled blue water, crossed the wake of a Cunard liner In bound for Boston, raised and over hauled a graceful but businesslike fish erman (from Gloucester, Barcus opined when called to stand his trick at eight) and saw It a mile or two astern when still aching with fatigue be was free to return to hla berth for another four-hour rest, ss ; !

The Inevitable Inferemn aeemed a thing nnthlukable; bla brain faltered when asked to credit It. Only when he saw her tearing frantically at the painter, striving to cai-t It off and w ith.

Even so. It was with the feeling thnt all the world and hlmaelf as well had gono stark, raving mnd, that ho aelied the gtrl and, despite her struggles, tor her away from the rail before sho had succeeded In unknotting the painter. "Rose!" be cried stupidly. "Hone! What's the matter with you? Iton't you see what you're doing?" Defiance Inflamed lo r countenanca and accents, "t'un't you ever say any thing but 'Rose! Iiiwe!

"Judith!" he cried In a voice of stu pefaction. "But Good Lord! how did you got aboard? Where's Rose?" "Where you'll not find her easily again," the woman angrily retorted. "Trust me for that!" "What do you mean?" Illumination came In a blinding flash. "Do you mean It was you you whom I brought aboard last night?" "Who else?" "You waylaid her there In the hotel, substituted yourself for her, deceived mo Into thinking you !" "Of course," bIid Bald simply. "Why not? When I Baw her sleeping there the mirror of myself, completely at my mercy what else should I think of than to take her place with the man I loved? I knew you'd never know tho d!(Terenc! at least I was fool enough for the moment to believe I could stand being loved by you in her name! It was only today, when I'd had time to think, that I realized how Impos sible that wan!" " A sudden slap of the mainsail boom athwartshlps and a simultaneous cry from over the Btcrn roused Alan from his consternation to fresh appreciation of the emergency. With scant consid eration he hustled the woman to tho companionway and below, slammed Its doors and closed her In with tho slid ing hatch all In a breath then sprang to the taffrail, Just In time to lend a helping hand sorely wanted by Mr. Barcus In his efforts to climb aboard, after he bad pulled the dory up under the stern bv its painter. He came over the rail In a towering temper.

Without a word.

In tho tlmo thnt he remained Invis ible between decks the fisherman luffed, picked up thn dory nnd Its occupnnt, nnd rnmo round again In open chnso of tho Seaventure. When BnrciiH reappeared It was with a grave fnco. "Thn devil nnd tho deep She," hn ob served obscurely, coming aft, "from all their works, pood Ixird deliver us!" "What's tho trouble now?" "Nothing much only your playful little friend hns been up to another of her light hearted tricks. ...

The drain-cocks of both fuel tanks have been opened, and thorn are up wards of a hundred nnd fifty gnllons of highly explosive gasoline sloshing around In tho bilge!" CHAPTER XIII. No Quarter. "Yes, yes,' said Mr. Harcus Indtil- gently, breaking a long silence. "Very Interesting. Very Interesting, Indued. I've seldom listened to a more enter taining life-history, my poor young friend. But I tell you candidly, ns man to man, I don't bellnve ono word of It. It's all d n foolishness!" Ills voice took on a plaintive ac cent. "Particularly this!" he expos tulated, and wavnd an Indignant hand, compasBlng their plight. "Tho rest of your adventures are reasonable enough," he said, "thoy won my credulity and I'm a native of Missouri. Hut this lust chapter Is Im possible. And that's flat. It couldn't happen and hus. And there, in a mnnner of speaking, we are!" Against the western horizon a long, low-lying strip of sand dunes rnstnd like a bar of ptirplo cloud between tho crimson afterglow of sunset In the sky and the ensanguined sea that mir rored It. The wind had gone down with the mn, leaving the Seaventure becalmed her motor long since Inert for want of fuel In shonl water a mile or so off the desolate and barren coast that Barcus, out of his abounding knowl edge of those waters, named Nauset Beach. Still another mile further off shore the so-called Gloucester fisherman rode, without motion, waters aa still and glassy.

"Quick kick off your shoos get set for a miluloiig bwIiii! Devil's work, all right!" ho punted, hastily divest ing himself of shoes and outer gnr- monts.

Ily way of answer, Alan Joined him; the two hud dived as ono, entering the water with a single splash, nnd coin ing to the surface a good ton yurda from thn Seavonturo. For tho next several seconds they were swimming frantically, and not until throe hun dred font or more separated them from tho schooner did cither dare puusofor breath or a backward glance. Then tho Impact of the launch against tho Senventure's side rang out across the waters, and with a husky roar the launch blew up, spewing sky wards a widespread fan of flame. Over the Seaventure, as this flamed and died, pale lire seemed to hover like tremundous pall of phosphorescence, a weird and ghastly gluro that suddenly descended to tho docks. There fol lowed a crackling noise, a sound as of the labored breathing of a giant; and bright flames, orange, crimson, violet and gold, licked out all over the schooner, from stem to stern, from deck to topmasts. It seemed several minutes that she burned In this wise it was probably not to long before her decks blew up and the flames swept roaring to the sky. r?7 the time Alan and Barcus, swim ming steadily, had gained a shoal which permitted them footing la waist-deep watnrs, the Seaventure had burned to tho water' edge. ttW'' 'aafkl? aaa 1 .. .- I'llll Tl AMI.
