Another half an hour and Hernandez and his dark-haired Inez auntered thoreward and stood bowing on the crazy little wharf. They waited calm ly, the woman smoking a cigarette and Hernandez enjoying bla panetela. until the thlp't gig drew up to the wharf. Hernandez deftly caught the rope aa it was thrown to him. "Mr Hernandez," tald the officer brutquely, "I've got a government search warrant." "Do not produce It, tlr," be tald. "I take you at your word." "Mr. Hernandez," went on tbe offi cer, "a Porto Rlcan fisherman reported to us yesterday that bit kicker bad been hired three timet by a notorloua negro tmuggler that three timet be bad watched the departure of bla boat and ita return. Each time It bad coma In thlt direction each time returned from this direction." "The point It." went on the officer, "Just this: This la the only point south of Porto Rico within a given distance. The kicker owned by our informant, when It left lta owner, tailed direct toward you and returned direct from you. Possibly I am on a fool'a errand, but I've got to do my duty." "Permit me to escort you, aenor," tald Hernandez. An hour later the officer was teated on the veranda waiting for bis men. One by one they filed In and reported. "No go, sir," they all tald. "We've covered the whole place. There'a not nn ounce of gum nor a penny'a worth of flake." The officer thook bis head and dis missed bis men. "You were speaking," he remarked, tipping his glasa of Ice-cold vlchy, "you were speaking of the Martinique eruption." "Of that," assented Hernandez, "and of something else tbe steamship Prin cess of New York." "Why," said tho officer, "she was burned, that tramp burned two days out from Martinique."

Meantime, while the : train waa llalinnary. a tingle pasaen . mt alighted a amartly dreiied young I woman. Phr stopped, once the had alighted and glanced about her In uncertain ty.

"I go past three," an swered Neal. "I'll take you to It. Ccme with me." Neal liked ber but aha didn't ring true. "Thla It the pott offic," he ex claimed at length. Neal pasted on toward the beach. He had not gone far when he heard a woman' scream. He looked back. In front of the post office a crumpled heap turned out to be the pretty wom an. "I slipped 1 Humbled something." the exclaimed, "and, oh the pain the pain " . "Where?" queried the poatmaster. "My foot, my ankle," returned the young lady; "It Is bad bad." She fell bark, half falatlng.-ln Nea.'t arms. The postmaster nodded to Neal. "She wat going to your mother'!, Neal," he said. "My mother's," gasped Neal, "docs does she know my mother?" The postmaiter thook hit head. "She wanted a quiet place not -a boarding hounn, nor nothing of the kind a quiet place for ber and ber old father. I gave her your mother'a name. I didn't know. I thought may be your mother might take "em In." t Neal clutched her in hit atrong armt and Bt.Vfe'err-d to bit feet. "I'll take you to my mother't," he said aloud; "lhat'i where you were bound I'm Mrs. Hardin's son." Neal's mother, Mm. Captain Hardin, had spent a good part of the last hour In the attic of her cozy little house. She was delving Into tbe depths of an old leather trunk and that meant that Blie was delving into tbe past. At the very bottom of the trunk where nlie had placed them years ago, waa a newspaper package, carefully tied up. She opened It and spread Its contents on the lid of tbe trunk. They consisted of tho clothing all the clothing of a little girl the dress and the linen article had turned rightly yellow even the thirteen years hud left tbblr mark upon them. Put this was not all there was a bag or gold the bag of gold that the Utile girl had brought aboard tbe Prin cess during that day of terror back at Martinique. And pinned to the tiny dress was still the note hastily pen ciled by an unknown band: I am Annette Illngton, heiress of the Ictt isl of Clnnaba-. W will be very rich soma day. Save my clothe and the oilskin packet until my father comes for me, or until I am eighteen. I must look out for a man with a taber cut upon his face. For God' cake, keep me afe.

Over In the Hotel Bermuda in New York tat Mr. Napoleon Courtier a foreign-looking gentleman ot dltiln gulihed appearance. He waa a strik ing locking flgur and bad many pe culiarities and eccentrlcttlea of man ner. Tb moat striking thing about blm, however, waa a livid taber cut acrott hit cheek a deep, deep cut a bad tear. It la probable, however, that Mr. Courtier attracted no more attention than hla companion! did one of them a fat little Mexican of moat vlllalnout appearance; the other a huge giant clad In 111 fitting clotbet. who followed Mr. Courtier about Ilk a dog a faithful dog. Mr. Napoleon Courtier tat within hit room. He wat not alone. 'With blm were tbe Mexican and the giant With him also waa another personage, 111 favored, low browed, treacherous. Thlt latter Individual wa a New York crook. A telegraph boy entered with a tele gram. Courtier signed for It wlrti a gold pencil, gave the boy a quarter for a tip and opened the telegram. . "Ponto," exclaimed Mr. Napoleon ; Courtier, for the moment totally Ignor- Ing the presence of th crook; "look, ' friend Ponto. Read." , And Ponlo read- It wa the tele gram of Miss Irene Courtier. "At last and after thlrtoen years," be said. The crook once moro tented himself and Mr. Courtier followed suit. He seized a piece of paper and wrote rapidly. Ha pushed the piece of paper toward the crook. "Read thnt," he commanded; "It Is Intended for your prlnclpul." Tbe crook read: Have 200 poundt bett gum opium. Will land tame tonight at Seaport, N. j. Be ready to receive It 8lgnal with flath flare. The crook nodded. "Right, bo," he commented. Half an hour lutcr, on hla way up Second avenue, New York, the crook was boisterously balled by a crowd of boon companions. These boon com panions were lounging In the doorway of the "Side Pocket." "Come on, Shorty," cried one of them, catching the crook by the arm, "I'm Just blowing. Come on in and have tome steam." A few minutes after they entered the place, One-Eyed Mulvaney and his gang entered the saloon. Followed a fight and a raid by the police. When It was over Shorty lay In a corner with his skull cracked. Something white protruded from the crook's coat pocket. The sergeant drew It out. It wa a note. It read like thlt: Have 200 poundt bett gum opium. Will land tame tonight at 8aport, N. J. Be ready to receive It Signal with flath flare. The sergeant read It twice. Then be signaled to one of hit men. and drew forth a paper bundle.
