CHAPTER II.
The Lost Isle.
On the same day the day of the
red death at Martinique and but two
rhort hours before tie pilot put the
helm of the tramp steamer Princess
hard aport. three men sat on the ver
anda of a low-roofed, whlte-walled
bungalow in St. Pierre.
One of these men was llington, a
young American. He passed around
a box of fragrant Martinique cheroots. !
He folded up some half-doien slips of
paper he had been examining and re
turned them to another Individual who
faced him from across the table.
"Senor Hernande." exclaimed tho
young American, "for a week at least
half a hundred times I have told;
you your credentials were satisfactory
to me."
Hernandez nodded gravely. He
thrust the papers back Into a pocket
and tapped them significantly.
"None could be better." he ex
claimed grandiloquently, "I am Her
nandezthat 1b all sufficient"
Suddenly the American turned and
faced the third member of the coterie.
"And what." he exclaimed, "what of
Ponto hereT"
This third Individual was the
atrangest creature of tbem all. He
was a Mexican; dark, very dark; low
browed; low-Btatured and fat.
Hernandez nodded Bignlflcantly.
"Ponto, senor," he returned, "Is as ,
good as gold. He, too, 1b brave."
Will he do as I tell him?" queried
the American.
Hernandez bowed. "You tell me,
aenor, and I tell him. He will obey.
The American turned his back for'
a moment and Hernandez and Ponto
exchanged significant glances.
llington turned back to them. "It
1b agreed." he Bald, "I will take you
tip. To have brave men one must '
take a chance."
llington crossed the veranda and
entered the living room, from there
disappearing through another door. In
a moment he was back, apparently
empty handed. Once more he seated j
himself and then drew from the hip
pocket of his trousers a thin oilskin
packet sealed with scaling wax. He
laid It on the table before him.
"Gentlemen," he said, "I am the!
owner of the lost isle of Cinnabar.
My forefathers held tne grant direct
from Spain. The lost lale of Clnna
bar Is a valuable Isle. Tradition hat
it that upon It is located a quicksilver I
mine an ancient mine but little
worked. My mission is to seek that;
Island, to find it and to claim It for
my own."
"Where is this lost island?" queried
the Portuguese.
llington nodded. "The secret." he
returned, "lies within this packet"

A screen door swung open and a
native woman gaudily arrayed In j
green and yellow stripea. her head 1
bound around with a strip of orange
colored linen, slipped through the door
leading with her a tiny girl a child
three or four year old.

naked bounded upon the veranda.
"For tho love of God." he said, In
broken French, "flee for your lives.
Pelee has broken loose."
llington, with the oilskin packet
still in hand, sprang to the edge of
the veranda and from there Into the
' street. He gave one look and then
fell back.
"By George, he's right," he shouted,
j "Look look."
Anxiously he turned bis gaz down
1 tbe hill. Then with a bound he was
j off. In three minutes he was back
clutching bis little daughter, Annette,
I to hln breast and dragging the frenzied
.Manuella after him.
Shrieks from a thousand throats
rent the air without. llington glanced
Into tbe street. H1b face went white.
Ashes, red-hot pieces of molten lava
were dropping in a shower.
Ilmgton, who bad been holding
Annette, surrendered her In an instant
ta Manuella. He darted into an inner
room and opened the Bafe. From this
safe be took a canvas bag that jingled
with the gold pieces It contained. He i
thrust this bag into one hip pocket of i
bis trousers, having already secreted
the oilskin packet In the other.
"Come on," he shouted to tbe group
behind him. "It's death to stay here.
Corre on down the hill."
CHAPTER III.
Terror-Driven.
All down that long steep hill that
swarming street filled with Its rushing,
frantic mob llington fought his way
with his hack and brawny shoulders.
Once, twice, he felt a stealthy hand
at his hip pockets. Each time he
turned swiftly to find Ponto and Her
nandez close at his lieia. Without
tion of reduction in the tariff on wool

Walsb, of Montana, and others inter

"Why, wool today in Oregon is high

and not behind.
To the tea to the eaH tha voice
ol ihr multitude raised itself la agoay.
There waa hut on cry "to the sea

At a rraiy little wharf llington
twitched himself and Manuella and the
1 child deftly to on aide and let the
crowd plunge on.
He scanned the surface of the bay.

darted out upon another wharf.
' Stand In a circle." be commended,
and when I aay lb word quick ac

Then Demand stooped quickly
and Jerked back a trap door that bad
been tilted Into the planklml
"Quirk." he whispered, "drop."
He e!ied Manuella and dropped her
through the opening. She screamed
this scream roe to a shriek when she
struck the water. But her alarm waa I
unwarranted Ther waa no danger j

warily, to save Vnnette from Injury;
clung for one Instant to the edge ot the
opening with one brawny band, and ,
then dropped straight as a plummet '
Hernande followed suit
cloning the
trap door behind him. The closing ot
thla door left them almost In total
'darkness
"Senor." whispered Hernande. "I
have a boat. One moment, please '
He groped about and caught a rope
tied to a pile. He drew It In. hand
over hand
"In." said Hernandez "everybody :
In"
The group obeyed. The boat waa
mail.
"Senor." said Hernande. "you are
large you are tall. See yonder ray of
light It Is an opening. Just wide
enough to admit of this small craft.
Leap out. senor draw ua thither It
la the sole way to the sea "
llington dragged the boat through
the narrow opening and swung bark
Into his place.
"I'll row." he aald.
Suddenly Hernandei pointed toward
the north. "Look, senor." he ex
i claimed, "succor yonder la salva-
i Hon."
llington followed his glance. His
face lighted.
"Salvation Is right." he returned In
, tones of relief, "a ateamer and.
I what's more, she fiiea the American
flag. Good tuck."
Under the command of her captain.
Hardin, the Princess had steamed back
Into the rain of living Are to rescue
whom she might.
On the forward deck of the steamer
stood Captain Hardin and beside
him his small son to welcome refu
gees. And thero were many refugees
to welcome. Captain Hardin soon
saw he must discriminate.
Finally he shook his head "Ben."
he told his mate, "we're filling up.
Pick your crowd from now on only
the helpless children, women, old
men. Reject all other."
Welcher. with two of the crew be
hind him both scared Into a frenxy
all armed with capstan bars raised
aloft his bludgeon.
"No more no more!" he cried. "Ill
brain the first man who tries to get
aboard."
Suddenly above the din, a powerful
voire was heard.
"Ahoy, there, Princess," cried this
voice.
Welcher followed the sound. It
came from the lungs of a powerfully
built man rowing a leaky boat.
"Make way there," bellowed the
oarsman. llington; "one moment,
PrincesB. Where's the captain?"
llington seized his little daughter
Annette and uncovered her head.
"Never mind me." he said. "I want
refuge for this woman and the child."
V.'elcher was adamant. "Not an
other ounce of human flesh aboard
this boat." he said.
There was a tug upon his arm. He
turned. Little Neal Hardin, the cap
tain's son, stood at attention and
touched his cap. He pointed with one
hand toward little Annette llington.
"Please, Mr. Welcher." he pleaded,
"let her come aboard. She don't weigh
an ounce."
The mate tuined savagely upon the
boy. "You mind your own business,
brat," he cried. The boy stared at him
a moment, then saluted and started
off
"Yes, sir," he returned, "that's what
I'm going to do."
He darted off on tbe run, and sought
his father, Captain Hardin.
"There'B Just one ounce a little bit
of an ounce wants to come aboard,
captain pop," he pleaded; " a tween-ty-weenty
little ounce. Won't you 1'
It come?"
He dragged tbe captain forward.
The captain, laughing good-naturedly,
followed him.
Meanwhile llington, with sure dis
crimination, placed tbe child In Man
U' 11a a arms once more, and forced the
products, but look at the prices to-1
day" I
These things have come In spite of 1
the very nature of conditions." said
the senator. " The law of supply and
demand Is the great economic law
that fixes the prices of all products."!
The senator said that the great Eu
ropean war has had much to do With
the high prices prevailing.

"Courage, Manuella. be kept whis

Captain llsrdln leaned over the side.
"lt the woman and child come
aboard." he shouted "back ther. men
back. Welcher, let them come aboard "
"Ab-h-h," cried llington In a tona
of relief. With a final almost super
human effort h lifted Manuella to the
rail of the Prince, safely aboard. He
was about to paaa the child to ber. but
young Neal Hardin waa holding out
hla arms.
"I'm a good catch." aald young Seal;
"put It there "
llington glanced for on Instant Into
the frank far of Neal Hardin and th
I captain of th ahlp. He drew a sigh of
' relief He nodded swiftly.
"Whatever happens, thank Ood she

Captain Hardin put bis Up to bis
megaphone.
"Put her about there." he shouted
out; "full steam ahead."
Even as he aald It there was a fresh
shower of huga red cinders; some aah
some In molten atate. There was an
added cry of agony from shore and
sea Even the refugees aboard the
ship cowered under the hall of fire In
terror Suddenly at the raptaln'a side
Manuella. the aatlve woman, uttered
a gasp A red-hot cinder of unusual
size had smitten her upon the temple
aa she crouched low over little Annette
llington. Clutomlnx the captain by
the arm she fell prone upon the deck.
Young Neal Hardin sprang forward
and caught tha child before she fell.
Manuella'l breath came fast the
thinnest portion Ot her skull had been
pierced by the JagK' d edge of tbe
cinder. Wild-eyed and frantic, but
well realizing that she was upon the
point of death, she caught young Neal
by the blouse.
"I die you take baby aome day
papa come very rich "
She said no more. The captain bent
over her. rone and glanced at Welch
er significantly Then he turned to
his young son Neal.
"Take the little girl Into our cabin,
Neal," he said. "Give her to your
mother."
Neal clutched the warm bundle In
his arms and staggered with It aft.
A Mrs Hardin unwound the shawl
something dropped clinking to tbe
cabin floor Neal seized It and handed
It to hi mother.
"It'a a bag of gold," he said.
No aooner had he aald It than an
other object fluttered to the floor
an ollsllk parki t sealed with sealing
wax. Mrs. Hardlq placed tho two upon
a small stand Into the side wall or
the cabin. She continued to unwind
the shawl. Again they started. Pinned
to the child's dress was a crumpled
piece of paper, and upon the piece of
paper was a hastily penciled scrawl.
Mrs. Hardin read It. This Is what It
said:
"I am Annctto llington, heiress of
the lost Isle of Cinnabar". 1 will Do very
rich some day Save my clothes and
the oilskin packet until my father
comes for me or until I am eighteen.
I muBt look out for a man with a saber
cut upon his face. For God's sake
keep me safe."
CHAPTER IV.
After a Night of Fear.
Tho three men llington and his
two companions -sat dejected In their'
badly leaking boat and watched Cap
tain Hardin's vessel fade away Into
the distance. Hernandez watched her
keenly as she disappeared. Into the
Innermost recess- of his mind he
tucked away the Tact that she waB the
steamer Princess of New York. Some
day that knowledge would be of use
to him. Hot ashes brushed agalnBt
Illngton'B check; some rested on his
shoulder:- He shook himself like some
huge mastiff. He seized the oars.
"Come," he said, "we've got to get
out of this and right away. ThlB

"Go to it, senor," said Hernandez.
"Row."
It was not a request; It was a com
mand. It was a strange thing that aa
long bb llington had" borne the child in
his arms, llington bad been the lead
er of the three. Now bis Independence
seemed to leave him.
For hours he rowed he forgot he

shook him.

"Senor." went on Hernande. let

face of llington. "And where," he de
manded. Is th oil silk packet'"
"Where, also." added Ponto. "I the

llington smiled. "So you hav
searched me, hav you?" ha returned.
"Well, you're welcome, gentlemen, to

feet "Come on." be commanded,
"we're marooned. I'm hungry Let ua

Mernandex caught him by the arm
"Where la th packet?" he demanded
"And where the gold?" persisted
Ponto.
llington smiled "Both traveling
north." be answered, "with Annette ll
ington. They are confided to ber care."
"And why?" asked Hernande.
Illngtonshrugged his shoulder. "I
thought you and I and Ponto here
were booked for death, that'a why.
Who knows we may still be booked
for death."
Hernandez glanced algnlflrantly at
; Ponto. "Some of us may," he aald.
"Come on.'' aald llington, "there are
j mussels on those rocks yojder. Fol
low me."
He strode into the water and waded
toward a patch of rocky ree' beyond.
Ponto seized a bit of Jagged wood
that lay upon tbe beach. He and Her
nandez waded aftor llington. Once
on tho rocks llington stooped and toro
huge shell fish from their moorings
with his naked bands. Aa be did so
Ponto In a audden frenzy lifted high
, the billet In his hand and brought It
with a crashing blow down upon tbe
1 head of llington.
llington fell llko a log. Hernandez
sprang at Ponto and shook him as a
terrier shakes a rat.
"You fool," he cried, "what do you
gain by this?"
"Wait." exclaimed Ponto, clawing
llington with hli clutching talons;
"let tiB search him thoroughly."
The sedrch yielded nothing to them
"Fool," repeated Hernandez, "you
havedono a useless thing. There's al
ways time I tell you."
Ponto shook bis head. "Senor," he .
said, "this man stood between us and 1
the nnrket. There la nn nnn now in '
keep us from his child."
Hernandez slowly nodded. "True,"
he returned, "perhaps you are right
He waH a menace now he Is dead. He
is removed. Let us leave him to tbe
merry of the sea. Come on."
'To the mercy of the sea," these
adventurers bad Bald, and tho sea vim
strangely merciful. With tbe tender
ness of a mother It laved tho limbs of
the supine victim It washed bis
wound It laved his brow.
It did more it brought him back to
life. Uttering an Inarticulate cry, the
man rose, staggering to his feet. He
put his hand to the back of his head.
It came away covered with blood. He
stared at his ruddy Angers vacantly.
"Red red " he babbled.
He stared about him In bewilder
ment. Dabbling and cackling he rose once
more to his feet. Some Instinct led
him toward the shore. He waded
across the narrow ttrlp of water,
breast high, toward the narrow strip
of bearh beyond.
lng in peace, bat not peace at any

wanted this country to be prepared

"We may be receiving some benefit
from the great war, hut It Is none
but what the people would be willing
to forego It If they could have peace."
the senator said.
