Hernandez, the gentleman adventur er, the clover smuggler of cocaine and heroin, established his headquar ters at the Crooked Crag. The pro prietor recognized him for what he was; there whs a secret compact, un spoken, but well understood, between the two. Hernandez had located himself In the secret, sound-proof room at Crooked Crag, fie was talking over the telephone. "It was a falBe mova," he conceded. "I should have steered clear of your Newport villa. If It hadn't been for the apprentice seaman, I might have turned a trick. As It Is, I am afraid to show myself. 1 think we will have to wait for our yellow-blooded friend to return from his failure at Annapo lis." With the scrap of paper in bis pos session Neal had excused himself to Inez, and had started back to his training station with a definite pur pose in view. Once arrived there, he handed the crumpled Blip of paper to the officer In command and told his story. But all this went on unknown to Hernandez. He had not missed the scrap of paper. Half an hour later on a wharf In Newport there drew up a very capable little motor boat. Inez and her young friend, Annette Illngton, boarded ber. group behind blm, ba finally reached the third itory room. "If the doctor Is about, will you send him?" said Annette, bowing tha proprietor and bla two men from tba room. "At once, mademolaelle," aald the proprietor, with a low bow. There was a knock upon tha door. "Come In," said Annetta. Two men entered, one of whom, a man with a neatly-trimmed Van Dyke beard, drew Annette to the window, inquiring gravely about tha case. W'hlle hor attention was thus occupied the other man seized the recumbent figure upon tho bed and bore It from the room. Annette caught a glimpse of hla huge shoulders Just as he dis appeared. "What la he doing?" she demanded. "Where Is be taking ber to?" The other man bowed. "To a phy sician," he returned, "aa you re quested." He crossed the room and daftly locked the door, putting the key In his pocket. "Hut you are a physician," ex claimed Annette, alarmed. He tore from either side of his face a thin strip of balr, leaving boneath It smooth shaven jowela. He still wore a mustache and goatee. Then he turned to hnr, and his face was the face ot the man In the shrubbery at the New port villa, the face of the smuggler of cocaine, captured at Seaport and escaped again. "I am not a physician," he conceded. "Do you know who I am?" "No," she answered.retreating to a corner. He laughed. "I am a man with a saber cut upon my face," he said, pointing to It "You were to look out for me. Here I am. Look out." "What do you want of me?" she dumanded. Hernandez lit a cigarette. "Noth ing that Is not mine," be said. "I was a partner of your father's." She started. "Where Is my father?", she demanded. Hernandez shrugged bis shoulders. "Dead these many years; God rest his soul," be said. "I was his surviving partner and to me belongs the assets of the firm.

The bruto started across the floor, and then whimpering, with hands banging at his sldos, turned away from her. Hernandes nodded to bis assistant, Ponto. Ponto drew his ever reudy whip and lashed the brute Into obedience. Tho huge man, still whim pering, cuuglit the girl In his arms and hold her, Hernandez, without the slightest compunction, tore open Annotto's waist "You vixen," said Hernandez be tween his teeth, "I will get that map If I have to flay you." Meantime, one by one, on the lower floor, the ensign's cohorts had strug gled In. Each saluted as he camo. "It's no use," they whispered to the ensign, "Sollngor's got us beat. We can't find anything." Neal was the last to como. He had made a thorough search. A seaman ran lightly up the steps into the office and saluted. "Dog your pardon, sir," he said.

Flva nlnutea later the faatoat boat along the shore the boat which Inea Caatro called ber own waa chug chugging out to sea with three fig ures huddled In her bottom the brute and Ponto and their chlof, Hernandes. They had wriggled somehow through the surrounding circlo, had zig zagged In and out ot shots had made good their escape. When the chase was over Neal re turned and half apologized to Inoi. "Sorry, Miss Courtlor. ' he said, "but they've made away with your fast mo torboat. We couldn't got to ours In time. We Iandod half a mllo or so Just up the shore. How do you feel?" "Better," exclaimed Inai. "It's the excitement, the noise, the pistol shots they have made me well again." Neal thrust his hand Into hla pockot and pulled forth a crumpled piece ot parchment "What did you get, Annette?" ho In quired. Annette thrust hnr hand Into hnr dress and pulled forth ber own tat tered portion. Inez, watching, bent ber bead to listen. Neal and Annette sproad their two pieces of the map out upon the little stand. Botwoen them they had tho bulk of the lower portion of the map. It waa a blank surface, save for three things a little tall of the island sticking down and the words "longitude" and "latitude," and noth ing else. Annette laughed In glee. "We've got everything we want,", she said to Neal. "What Is here la Important. What the man with the saber cut upon his face haa got is of no use to him or us.
