CWEP ttiKWH' By Claire Pomeroy KCun fnvi nTS1!;? TO C0H60WVH 1 - V l WOMEN kA I A. SWH f 1 CHAPTER XXVn Dawn crept up with stealthy tread and Sumner who had awak ened from fierce dreams brought on, perhaps, by the unpleasant pain at the back of his neck, went up to Join his pilot at the wheel o! the ''Magnolia." "How's she coming?" he Inquired softly to the still alert watchman. "All right, I guess," Wilson re plied. "What do you want me to do now, sir? It's getting light enough for action.' Sumner was silent for a moment as he gazed ahead at the ship they ; had trailed through the night and he saw that all was quiet aboard that small ship of mystery. The sun was announcing its promised revel ation by sending a glory of pink and turquoise across the eastern sky and the quiet water hungrily gathered these gifts to her bosom and made herself beautiful in their reflection. "Pull up along side them, Wil son," said Sumner, "and we'll let em know we're here." The two men started at a slight sound behind them and Magnolia Easterday, fresh and lovely in her long mannish coat greeted them with a cheery smile. "Good morning, mates,' she said, giving them a smart salute, "how goes it?" "First sate, Nolla," Sumner an swered. He gazed at this woman who was so dear to him, as though his eyes had found the resting place they had searched for but despaired of finding. "We're about to ap proach the enemy now, Nolla, and I'd rather you'd get below again. There may be danger, you know." Magnolia sat down in a deck chair and puffed on the cigarette she held. "Then I'll stay where I am," she said coolly. "Think I'll miss all the fun If there's- going to be any. Oo ahead, gentlemen, and start your battle." The "Magnolia" drew up alons side her auarrv and signalled with her raucous horn a sound that tore through the still morning like a -rusty saw through filmy chiffon. A rough looking Individual in a dirty gray sweater appeared on the deck of the "Viper" and upon sight ing the "Magnolia" darted back into the cabin. Another blast from the cruiser's horn brought the man back with a companion, one whose appearance on the deck or tne ntue iron snip brought a sharp little cry from the throat of Magnolia Easterday and a quick grunt of satisfaction from Crawford Sumner. The man was Mr. Nick Gardener. "Hello, Nlcko," cried Magnolia through cupped hands. "Are we too earlv for breakfast?" Gardener's expression of comic surprise changed to one of pro found relief and he laughed. "Breakfast in half an hour," he shouted, "Come on aboard and nn mv nt.hnr miRKta." "Now Nlcko," said Magnolia sternly. She. and Gardener and Crawford Sumner were crowd-ad Into a tiny room fitted up as an office and there were cups of a teaming coffee fetched in by the surlv lookina arav-sweatered per son. "Now, Nlcko, I .want you to tell me what you're up to and what you have done witn my uarouner Explain to me, if you can, Nlcko, what all this melodrama is arjout. Gardener frowned and lighted a short-stemmed pipe with angry gesture. "Melodrama!" he snorted. , "By Ged, Nolla, I wish youd keep your tender young females at home where they belong. That damn kid of yours has Just about ruined all my plans." He glowered at them both, "Here I was with tne moat de- Kntniia cphama a man avap nnrtmefaA a scheme to pay off a swine I've I itched to get even with for 30 years and a chance to gather a little material profit for myself into the bargain. Through some unknown whim of the gods this girl of yours was thrown into the plot and it damned near ruined it, too. God knows, I don't want her or that young ass who brought her aboard, either. They're both down in the main cabin, locked in, by Jove." He glared defiantly at Magnolia. Go down and get her and take her away. Right now won't be too soon for me." ! The gentelman In the gray sweated appeared and he led the way to the main cabin and un locked the door, Nick Gardener and Crawford Sumner left alone in the little of fice stateroom regarded one an other with hostile eyes and each waited for the other to speak. It was Sumner who finally said: "Just what Is your game, Gar dener? Not that It's any of my busi ness, but I'd like to know." Gardener's eyes narrowed and his smile was not the most pleas ant one to behold. "No," he said dryly, "It certain ly isn't any of your business, Sum ner, but I don't mind telling you what's up my sleeve. I'll not go In to details because it would take too long, but here's the story." The two men settled more deep ly into their chairs and Crawford Sumner waited for the other man to continue. "When a man has only one thing in his life he loves, and a Kunc comes aiong ana spons it ior him, he generally wants his revenge, doesn't he, Sumner?" Gardner went on. The other man nodded. "Well, that's the way I felt about It, and that's the story. Tbe low skunk was Frank T. Lord and he only beautiful thing in my life that I ever loved was a little sister, I had. I say had, because she's dead, and I'm glad she Is now. She did'nt want to live after" Gardener rose to his feet and turned away from his listener "after he'd done with her." Sumner remained silent, but his brooding eyes had lost their angry gilnt. "I found out about this little ex peditionthis little rum-running expedition and I Just neatly threw a monkey wrench Into Mr. Frank Lord's little piece of mech anism. I'm an owner of a yacht, you Know, Sumner, and I ve known this sea stuff forward and back ward. I have all the legal business that qualifies me to sail a ship on tne nigh seas and my papers per mit me to command a sea-going vessel, witn a iew aouars planted in the right places, I became com mander of this little ship and things were running smoothly un til that young fool Armstrong, who worics ior Lord, brought that Tel ler girl on board to show her around. I'd been keeping under cover un til sailing time and had meant to fix things with the young chao af- Uer we hauled anchor, so he could n't back out and gum things up. But the show got away from me, and the only thing I could do was to Keep the girl on board and lok them up to keep their damn fool mouths shut. I think I can reason with young Armstrong now because nes got pretty good, sense under neath and I'd like to give him a chance to amount to something. The girl means nothing to me and I hope you and Nolla will get her on as soon as possible." And Summer and Magnolia Eas terday did Just that.
