If there were anything still to be feared from Judith and her crew If, for Instance, sa llsreus hsd suggestsd, they had sought out one of the life saving stations on Nsuset beach, ap propriated Its power driven lifeboat uml renewed the puisull, If ever they heard that horn there would beyond question be tho devil to pay! The loneliness of his vigil was even lually relieved by the appearance on deck of the woman Alan loved The tableau that greeted her vision aa she emerged from the companlotiway, of the haggard, unshaven wretch at the wheel and the other who lay at hat feet, where he had fallen, In a stupor of fatigue, Instantly wrung from Rose it little cry of solicitude And she waa quick to do what little she could to alleviate their discomfort. For Ilarcus she fetched a pillow and blanket from i he cabin, and this one suffered her ministrations without once rousing from his slumbers. Then hsstenlng forward, she got the galley fire going and prepared a makeshift breakfast for her half famished lover. Warm food and hot coffee such ss they were -lending s little tone to Alan's spirits, he was presently able to discuss their situation with some optimism Yet m. thing could gloss the fact that the problem confronting them wsa one whose solution baffled their utmost Ingenuity one the simple contemplation of which taxed their courage and Intelligence to the ex treme. He summed up: "I can't see any thing for It but father and Judith are determined to have my scalp, and I'm hanged If I can see how to protect my self without taking a leaf out of their books. What I'm most afraid nf la that some time I may forget It's a woman I'm defending myself against. When a fellow's fighting for bis vary life he csn't slwsys stop to calculate the weight of hie blows." The young msii sighed, shook his head, laughed uncertainly, and held her closer to htm. "Don't fear; I'll find aome way out without Injuring either of them 1 promise you that I" He sealed tbe pledge upon her lips. And In that moment of their obliv ion to tin. world from some point for ward a muffled crash sounded simul taneously with the dull shock of a collision with a smaller vessel, and a strange voice cried out with an sc lent of high exultation. Hefore either Alan or tha girl could disengage the deck rang loud wllh a rush of booted feet isiundlug aft. The figures of the boarding party were already taking shape through the fog aa Alan sprang toward the com. panlnnway to fetch the rifle And In this action Ills feet slipped on planks greaay with moisture deposited by tbe surcharged atmosphere He went down with a atumbllug thump, snd an In stant later two men fell bodily upon htm-active, strong fellows In tho dress of fishermen. He was suffered to rise only aa a prisoner, helpless In the grasp of two pairs of powerful hands He saw Ilarcus, rudely roused and still dumb with eleepy confualon. In no better case-Jerked to his feet and held captive by two more flahermen. A fifth had taken charge of Rose, clamping her wrists In the vise of one big hand. The sixth and sole other member of the boarding party, likewise In the ough and ready garb of a fisherman, wiib Judith Trine. Down the side a heavy lifeboat round Its way aatern. the loose end of Its painter slipping over the rail oven aa Alan caught sight of It. (So It seemed llarcua had guessed shrewd ly!) Observlug this, oue of the men In charge of Alan made aa lr to leave him to the other, addressing Judith for permission to pievent the loss of the lifeboat Bhs stopped him with u peremptory gesture. "No-let It go. Wo're belter off without It. Hold (hat man fast till I fetch a rope Wu'll maka sure of them both this time!" Straining forward In the gruep of her guard. Rose Implored her sister: Judith. In pity's name, think what you are doing I" "Hold your tongue!" Judith snapped viciously. "Another whimper out of you, snd I'll have you gagged!" The balance of her throat, though accompanied by the exhibition of an automatic pistol, was drowned out by the sinhlcii rosr of s steamship fog. signal, so close abmrd that It seemed almost to emanu - Irom the forepart of the schooner herself. As It wss answered by shrill and hoarse cries of terror or of warning from a doxeu throats. Alan found hliu- salf released, his captors lesplng for their lives to tbe taffrall He caught an Instantaneous glimpse of tha knife like bow of a great steam er towering sbove the two maatcr -sweeping toward It at a spaed which raised a smsrt Jet of white under the cutwater. Someone aboard ths schooner, with the voice of a stentor, bellowed s ter rified appeal: "Stop your engines! Bhut off your propeller I Htop your " Then, like tha wrath of Clod, tbe steamship overwhelmed the lesser ship; Its bow seemed to slice through the schooner as a knife through cheese. And tbe two helves were fairly driven under water by tbe frightful force of the blow.
