Mouse lumbered along on the elephantine quickstep that consumes the miles. Once started he seemed in haste to get somewhere. He gave every indi cation of definite purpose. As if it had needed only Mike's encourage ment to precipitate an action on which he wasaiready deliberating. ' It was Sandy's opinion that Mouse had been courteously waiting for hftlro fk rt n iK tita mi" i n rswl at before starting off on investigations ef his own. At the end of about a mile they overtook a group of natives heading toward Turtle Fawn, a fishing il ia ge on a narrow strait through a constriction of the , island, and forming a boundary of Colonel Carl , ton's terrain, which by this shallow sluice was made an island in its entirety. Though hating to break the continuity of Mouse's sourse, Sandy felt that he ought to question the natives, and ordered a halt. Iso bel had said that Mouse's reputa tion as a mass of wisdom and benevolence had become established, so that he was held in awe but not ia fear, and Sandy was therefore surprised to see the blacks sheer wide. He called and beckoned, but they would not approach. More than mat iney oegan to nurry on tneir way, in a wide detour, eyes rolling back over their shoulders. Sandy ahouted a neremntorv order to the nearest of them, a young negress standing haughty and aloof as if disdaining actual flight, to come nearer as he wished to speak to her. She answered shortly in a few words that he could not understand, j then set off after the others. "What's the matter with them?" Sandy asked, vexedly. "Are they afraid of Mouse or of us?" "Ayther, sir." Mike answered, "or both, maybe. Since all the natives 'x hereabouts are by now used to seein wtfuiTc mn. smivw uicic a av uai iu in , him, it looks like they do not want t l !,-. .V. . t. t to be asked questions. Mouse's ears were moving rest lessly as if Impatient at the delay. Go on." Sandy ordered, and they resumed their way along the trail that skirted the flank of a low mole partly covered by a growth of sea- grape, ui-c looked back and said "Ever since Mouse snatched the dress off a wench that plagued him by putting snuff in his troonk they are none so fcure about his good nature. Sure I have known iliphants would have treated her dommed rough for such a tr'rick." Mouse swung along on his self appointed way. Presently Mike leaned back and said: "Yonder is the cove where the Colonel is thought to have been lost, sir. Wan ef the naygroes told me that some times the place swarmed wit what he called heary fish.' He said they were not sharks, but worse. "Barracuda, perhaps. They will attack a bather, like wolves. Tear at him. That might have happened so that he fell and had a stroke er heart failure. But it scarcely seems possible. He was a strong man. young for his age." Tbe trail, a mere footpath worn by the natives, dipped down to the t?acn and passed around the head ef the little bight. Moose scuffled down a short steep descent forelegs etily braced, hind quarters sliding. 1M early at the bottom there was aa orupt perpendicular drop or about three feet, ever the rim of a ledge f ineo- rock.

His trunk extended itself toward the bushes at one side its delidate tip reaching for some ob ject! He picked it up and curving back! his proboscis offered to Mike a gold watch dangling from a fob. ESaints . . ." Mike handed it to Sandy who saw that it was en- rraved with the letters G.O.V. , "Tinckers watch. . Now what do you f know about that?" t "And that is not the half of it."

There is no get ting! around a stopped watch, when is i stopped by srettin lammed Twbuld be about that hour of the morning that Miss Isobel set out on Mouse. i , Sandy slipped the watch into his pocset. This brines ns to ; here. Tell pretty clearly what happened so far. Vinckers saw Miss Isobel ridel off on Mouse. He followed, prolably afoot. He took a spill off thisjledge and his watch slipped out ana; leu and broke the crystal and stopped. I dont like iU-Mike " "Me nayther, sir.

"$he might have tumbled off That was a steen Ditch " -iiouse wud pick her up again, sir. i ee now how be do be Dushin on with no doubt at all of where he is hadin' for. The ould baste has something in the mind av 'im." There could be no question of this. Mouse was if anything more pur poseful titan ever in his onward course. He passed around the head of i he little cove, then swerving from the path struck up a tangled slope with thick growths of scrub alternating with bare ledges of rock! It was apparent to both men that, the elephant ; could not long continue on this route. Higher up the mole he must be stopped by the rougnness or the formation. ; This presently happened. 1 They came to a precipitous ledge that was I fissured and eroded so that a man or even a dor or troat mio-ht scale; it with no great difficulty but where the big pachyderm could not pass There were dwarf cedars and other trees that wen trmhh. nrl of a 'sort with which Sandy was not familiar. Below them was a thick son ef coarse vegetation, a line of strangling palms and then tbe beach. Beyond the sea lay ia bands of aquamarine ever the shoals. Mouse had stopped and now stood quietly but panting from his climb. His attitude seemed to nay: "This is ah far as I can take you. Now you H have to swing on your own nook. It's up to you to do the rest.- ; Mika turned, looked at Sandy with! eyes that twinkled like blue stilUto points and asked: "What do you be makin' av it now.1 sir?" "This much, at least.

The safe door would have been open." I "And much of value in It, sir?" "A considerable amount in cash, I should say, some jewels to the value of about seventy thousand dollars, and the Colonel's will, by which he had left a fortune run ning in a million and odd pounds to Miss Isobel." Mike softly blew out his breath. "And then, sir?" "Then Vinckers appeared in the doorway. Miss Isobel had reason to fear the man, now that her uncle seems to have lost his life. This was not entirely due to the fact that she stood between her rela tives, Vinckers of course included, and a big fortune of which they are all badly in need." "The divil, Mr. Crewe. And is he as bad as that?" "We dont know yet how bad he is," Sandy said. "When she saw Vinckers standing there she was terrified. There would have been Elenty in the brute's face to terrify er. In his hand, for all we know." 'But would he dare put a gun on her?" "Perhaps, to scare her into sil ence. A beast like that would dare a lot, with three cool backers. who had everything to gain, i At any rate. Miss Isobel turned to a big protector that was standing by. She called to Mouse. He reached inside, whipped her up out of the chair and through the window, then either cradled her, as you say, or raised her so that she could scramble up his trunk onto his head. Then they started off, and Vinckers followed. She hadnt counted on that. All she thought of in her panic was to get away. . Or perhaps he kept close, threatening to shoot her if she raised an alarm." - Mike nodded. "He would claim that he shot at Mouse, fearing the ttiphant meant to do her some hurt." ''Yes, and then shot Mouse through the head. : In the ear. They'd have fixed it, Vinckers has been a big game hunter, a crack with firearms. Look here, Mike, could Miss Isobel have urged Mouse ahead at a speed that would have left Vinckers far behind?" "I am none so sure, Mr. Crewe. Mouse has the speed, but I do not know could she hold him on it, were Vinckers a good runner. Tis likely that a man who ia ronn and him an athlete cud have caught them up wnen mey struck tne rough goin back yonder by the ledge. And she might think she had left him far behind." Sandy looked on at the ntMr ledges above. "Mouse brought her this far anyhow. Let's go up." They slipped to the rronnd. then started to climb, about twenty yards apart. Mike, a clown and tumbler before the fall that had crippled him for aerobatics, was suu mm ague as an ape. tie reached the-top i of the steep ridge ahead off Sandy by some yards, and about the i Sams (usutneej to uc icit, passing out of sight over the top. Sandy had cone at the climb to make more haste than speed, been careless in picking a place tc tro nn as no mr of it looked impassable. But now he found himself stalled on a narrow ledge with no proper hand er foot holds above, so that he must either descend or work sideways for some distance. Above him the rock rose sheer.

THEH TAKE rTrL A SUJELLOL UXJRLO Hearing Opened , On Freight Rate For Coast Grain PORTLAND, May 10-CrVLead-ers of the northwest wheat indus try gathered here todaywith Don Cary Smith, assistant attorney- general of Washington, to exam ine possibilities for meeting as serted discrimination in freight rates on grain shipped from the northwest to southeastern mar kets of the United States, j. The meeting followed upon the attendance of Smith and R. D. Lytle. secretary and traffic man ager of the North Pacific Millers association, at an interstate com merce commission ; hearing in At lanta last month at which the rates were discussed. ' Since! last July about 210 rail roads have been "charging higher rates on grain shipped from gulf ports inland, while rates on wheat shippedj by land . from the mid west to the south were cut. North west wheat is shipped by . water' to gulf ports. i Walter J. Robinson; director of agriculture for Washington, point ed out that unless the rail rate' structure for northwest wheat shipped through the Panama ca nal and relayed by rail from gulf ports is equalized with that pre vailing for wheat shipments from the Ohio and Mississippi valleys, the northwest may lose much of a 150,000 bushel market. . . Information gathered at the meeting here will be reviewed .for incorporation In evidence to be presented possibly ; at. an I. C. C. hearing here in August. . ; Beer Rites Held .: VICTOR POINT.
