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.
"You little wretch," scolded Mag-
