TENTH EPISODE "
A Prisoner on the Yacht
CHAPTER I.
I ED WARNEH, In front of the
blazing windows of tbe New
York cafe, utood lis one In a
daze, denf to all tbe words of
. jsobble and J rig Blethering, wbo fear
ed, from tbe asben pallor of big face,
that bis murderous frenzy might react
upon himself.. He saw nguio bis love
ly runaway bride being forced out of
tbe cafe against ber 'will by tbe man
irltb the white mustache and that In
fernnl scoundrel wltb tbe black Van'
dyke, Gilbert Blyel He saw himself
prevented by tbo frightened Bobble
and Iris and the solicitous waiters
from dashing among the glittering ta
' bles and grappling Blye by the throat
and strangling him to death. He saw
himself rushing to the ornate entrance
through which tbey had taken bis
beautiful June and arriving In time
only to see ber whirl away into the
night in Blye's luxurious limousine,
the heavy man with the thick eyelids
up In front wltb the driver, the mid'
die aged woman and the vivacious bru
nette wltb concern and fright on ithelr
pale faces as the dome light of the
- car sbono down upon tbem, and on
the rear seat wltb June the two men
' wbo had carried ber away by violence,
the white mustached man laughing,
and. the dark, handsome face of Oil
. bert Blye bending' over June with
' that suave smllo oil tils Hps.
Too latel Too late for anything but
his stupor. The limousine had turned
tbo corner.- On that sldo of the oafe
there was not a taxi to be aeon. Bob
ble's car stood in front, on the otber
street'. . While Iris endeavored to
arouse the stupefied Ned, Kobblo ran
. around and brought bis roadster. They
drove up to tho corner and turned
down the street, through which. the
limousine had disappeared, but where
In all that wilderness of moving ve
hicles could the track of June be
found? Nowhere! . It was as If the
earth bad opened and swallowed her up.
It might as well, for June, In a
awift motorboat with the gay party
which had kidnaped ber from tbe cafe,
was then Bwlftly approaching a long,
low yacht which loomed gracefully
above tbem In the misty river.
: June's struggles were useless In that
heaving water, and ber cries of pro
test were unheard In thnt lonely
waste. Strong qrnm lifted ber to her
feet A, strong hnnd from above grasp-
of wine, you." gruffly ordered tbe
steward. '
. Mrs.' Vtllard came In and dropped In
a chair, - while the vivacious Tommy
danced over to the gold lacquered
piano, Its beautiful marine view paint
ed by the famous Veins.'.. Blyo and
the white mustached Cunningham and
the heavy Edwards followed, laughing,
as Wllkins wheeled in from tho pantry
a portable buffet, its . frosty topped
bottles packed in glistening lee. '
."Have a taste of this, den rle. It
will soothe your nerves." The whin
ing stewardess held to June's lips a
glass of sherry, but June, drew away
from It with repugnance and, rising,
hurried away from tbe sumptuously
fitted salon. She did not know where
that passageway led except that it led
away from that hateful, company
Tbe stewardess followed her, tbe glass
of sherry still In her baud, "night In
here, dearie," and she opened the door
of a magnificent stateroom. Its inn
bogany walls paneled with Ivory tint
ed tapestry, its brass bed hung wltb
rich lace.
June hesitated, but down tbe pas
sageway came Orln Cunningham, bis
eyes twinkling and the laughter
wlno upon his Hps. June darted Into
tbe magnificent slnteronm. hastily shut
the door and locked It.
In tbe crimson and gold salon were
tbo popping of corks, gny laughter,
which even Mrs. Vlllnrd Joined, aud
then the loud strains of swift dance

fingers of Tommy Thomas.
Blye sat quietly, with that suave
smile upon his lips and stroking his
black Vandyke wltb his long, lean,
white fingers, upon ono of which spar
kled a diamond. He rose presently,
and, tiptoeing down the gangwuy,
stopped at June's door and listened.
He could hear an occasional stilled sob
as June sat amid the-soft cushions of
tbe couch. Before ber, through a half
open door, could be seen a glimpse of
a snowy white bathroom, and In tbe
adjoining little pale blue boudoir stood
June's own luggage! ' .
Ned! That brief sight of him had
filled June's whole soul with longing.
Poor little runaway biidel
There were the rattle of a donkey
engine and the scraping of chains on
the yacht Hilarity. The anchor was
coming up, and there was an Instant
change in the easy rocking of tbe
craft. She shuddered, and then there
was the sound of seething water as

ed hers, and she was pulled up to the
deckr- Below ber she beard tho laugh
ter of tbe-three men wbo bnd abduct
ed ber, and with tbclr Inughtcr blend-
. ed tbe shrill, high voice of. that viva-
clous brunette, Tommy Thomas. June's
heart sent out a wild call to Ned.. This
bad been tbe flrsttlme she had seen
his face since the (lay of their wed
ding.. -
At tbe door of tbe sumptuously fit
ted crimson and gold salon on tbe
yacht tbe tottering Juno was confront
ed by a stolid steward, witn gray mut
ton chop whiskers, and a puckered
looking stewardess, wbo wore, as if
- habitually, a half whimper.
"The dearie looks faint," said the
stewardess.
, "Well, bring the yonng lady a glass
the Hilarity gathered headway. June
was on ber feet in an Instant She
raa to tbe porthole nd gazed out at
the barely moving lights along shore.
The portholes were too small to let her
shoulders through. She ran to the door
and opened It stealthily, then closed It
and held tbo knob as Tommy Thomas
and Orln Cunningham danced past in
tho salon.
The alert ear of Gilbert Blye caught
the click of that latch, slight as it was,
and his eyes glowed; he motioned sig
nificantly toward the corridor, and Ed
wards, reaching up, said something In
tho ear of Mrs. Vlllard. A slight
frown crossed ber brow, but she rose
Instantly and went down the gangway
to tho door of June's stateroom. She
knocked, but there was no answer.
"June!" she called. "June, dear!"
No answer. Mrs. Vlllard listened.
No sound. She went back slowly to
the salon.
You'll never make that child ono of
us, and she shook her head.
June sat on the conch In ber state
room with ber hands locked upon her
knees, staring Into the whlto Bllro of
brightness formed by the tiling of tbe
bathroom, and while sho pondered on
what sho should do Mm-lo and Henri
reached tho city and stopped nt a tele
graph office. When they ennio out of
that place n short, wide, thick man
who bad been waddling down the
street, with a blunt stub of a cigar lu
ono corner of his mouth and a look of
habitual furttveness In his little eyes,
started abruptly nt sight of Marie, and
when tho touring car started tho short,
nklo man hung on behind, his cigar
stub firmly clamped between bis teeth.
The doorbell rang nt the Moore home
In Bryuport. Stern John Moore, read
ing his paper beneath the portrait of
June, looked tip quickly, nnd there was
a silent tremor at tho corner or ins
paper. Aunt Debby's voice was heard:
Why, It's Mr. Nod and Miss Iris.
Why, good cvenln. The ' folks Is to
home." '
Stern John Moore listened with si
lent attention while Mrs. Moore, her
hand upon her breast, stifled the emo
tions to which Iris Blethering gave
full play as tbe "kidnaping" was de
scribed.
There was but one conclusion among
the men, and Ned, composing his voice

"Our daughter Is In danger," said
the grave voice of John Moore.

doughnuts may be mixed and fried a few at
a time. The last will be as light and nice
