The door opened as be spoke, and Dr.
Jenkinson came in.
. "Doctor," I queried, "how far is it
safe to Indulge this sick man? He
f wants me to tell him a story"
"Is it a good story?" asked the doc
tor.
"Why, yes; fairly good."
"Then tell it. May I stay?"
"Certainly," said Mr. Royce and I to
gether, and the doctor drew up a chair.
So I recounted, as briefly as I could,
the events of the past two days and
the happy accident which had given

face was beaming when I ended.
"And you start for France tomor
row?" he asked.
"Tomorrow morning. The boat sails
at 10 o'clock."
, "Well, I'm going with you!" he cried.
"Why," I stammered,' startled by his
vehemence, "are you strong enough?
I'd be mighty glad to have you, but do
you think you ought? How about It,
doctor?"
Jenkinson was smiling with half shut
eyes.
"IPs not a bad Idea," he said. "He
needs rest and quiet more than any
thing else, and he's bound to get a
week of that on the water, which is
more than he'll do here. I can't keep
that brain of his still, wherever he Is.
He'd worry here, and with you he'll
be contented. Besides," he added, "he
ought to be along, for I believe the ex
pedition Is siiiS to be successful!"
. I believed so, too, but I recognized in
Jenkinson's words that fine optimism
j which had done so much to make him
j the great doctor he was. I shook our
junior's hand again in the Joy of hav
ing him with me. As for him, he seem
ed quite transformed, and Jenkinson
I gazed at him with a look of quiet
' pleasure.
"You'll have to pack," I said. "Will
you need my help?"
"No; nurse can do It, with the doctor
' here to help us out," he laughed. "You
: have your own packing to do and odds
and ends to look after. Besides, nei
j ther of us will need much luggage.
; Don't forget to reserve the other berth
in that stateroom for me."

you in the morning."
"Ail right; I'll be ready."
The doctor followed me out to give
me a word of caution. Mr. Royce was
; still far from well; he must not over
' exert himself; he must be kept cheer
ful and hopeful, if possible; above all,
he was not to worry; quiet and sea air
would do the rest.
' I hurried back to the office to make
my final report to Mr. Graham and to
get the abstract which Rogers had
promised to have ready and which was
awaiting me on my aest. uur wormy

learned that his junior was going with

finally bade Mr. Graham goodby ana
started for my rooms. My packing
was soon finished, and I sat down for
a final smoke and review of the situa
tion. .
There was one development of the
day before which quite baffled me. I
had proved that there were indeed two
women, and I believed them to be
mother and daughter, but I could not
in the least understand why the young
er one had so completely broken down
after the departure of the elder with
Miss Holladay. I looked at this point
from every side, but could find no rea
sonable explanation of IL It might
be, indeed, that the younger one was
beginning already to repent her share
In the conspiracy. There could be no
question that it was she who had
struck down Holladay in his office, that
she had even refused to go farther In
the plot, and that her companions had
found It necessary to restrain her, but
this seamed to me too exceedingly Im
probable to believe, and as I went over
the ground again I found myself be
ginning more and more to doubt the
truth of Godfrey's theory, though I
could formulate none to take Its place.
I became lost in a maze of conjecture,
and at last I gave It up and went to
bed.
I called for Mr. Royce, as we had
agreed, and together we drove down to
Morton street. He, too, had limited
his baggage to a single small trunk.
We secured a deck hand to take them
into our stateroom, and, after seeing
them disposed of, went out on deck to
watch the last preparations for depar
ture. The pier was in that state of
hurly burly which may be witnessed
only at the sailing of a transatlantic
liner. The. last of the freight was
being got aboard with frantic haste;
the boat and pier were crowded with
people who had come to bid their
friends goodby; two tugs were puffing
noisily alongside, ready to pull us out
into the stream. My companion ap
peared quite strong and seemed to
enjoy the bustle and hubbub as touch
as I did. He flushed with pleasure as
he caught sight of our senior pushing
his way toward us.
"Why, this is kind of you, sir!" he
cried, grasping his hand. "I know
what the work of the office must be
with both of us deserting you this
way."
"Tut, tut!" And Mr. Graham smiled
at us. "You deserve a vacation, don't
you? I couldn't let you go without
telling you goodby. Besides," he add
ed, "I learned Just this morning that
two very dear friends of mine are tak
ing this boat Mrs. Kemball and her
daughter the widow of Jim Kemball,
you know."
Mr. Royce nodded. L top, recalled
the name. - Jim Kemball had been one
of the best men at the New York bar
twenty years before and must Inevi
tably have made a great name for him
self but for his untimely death. I had
heard a hundred stories of him.
"Well, I want you to meet them,"
continued Mr. Graham, looking about
In all dteootlnas, "Ak. hare tbay areT
and a younger and taller "one wno5e
back was toward me. They laughed
together for a moment, men the last
' bell rang and the ship's officers began
to clear the boat. I turned back to the
pier, but wag brought round an Instant
later by Mr. Graham's voice.
"My dear Lester," he cried. I
thought we'd lost you. I want to In
troduce yoa to Mrs. Kemball and her ,
daughter, who are to be your fellow j
voyagers. Mr. Lester's a very In- J
genious young man," he added. "Make
him amuse you!" And he hastened i
away to catch the gang plank before it
should be pulled in.
I I bowed to Mrs. Kemball, thinking to
l myself that I had never seen a sweet
j er, pleasanter face. Then I, found my
self looking into a pair or Diue eyes
that fairly took my breath away.
"We'll not neglect Mr. Graham's ad
vice," said a merry voice. "So pre
pare for your fate, Mr. Lester!"
There was a hoarse shouting at the
gangway behind .me, and the eyes look
ed past me, over my shoulder. "
"See," she said, "there's one poor fel
low who has just made it."
I turned and looked toward the gang
plank. One end had been cast loose,
but two deck hands were assisting an
other man to mount it. He seemed
weak and helpless, and they supported
him on either side. An Involuntary cry
rose to my lips as I looked at him, but
I choked it back. For it was Martigny,
risen from his bed to follow us!
CHAPTER XIV.
1 WATCHED him with a kind of
fascination until he disappeared
through the door of the cabin. I
could guess what it had cost him
to drag himself from his bed, what
agony , of apprehension must have been
upon him to make him take the risk.
The Jourdains, puzzled at my not re
turning, unable to keep silence, sus
pecting, perhaps, some plot against
themselves, had doubtless gone to the
hospital and told him of my appear
ancethere had been no way for me
to guard against that. He had easily
guessed the rest. He had only to con
sult the passenger list to assure, him
self that Mr. Royce and I were aboard.
And he was .following us, hoping
what? What could a man in his con
dition hope to. accomplish? What need
was there for us to fear him? And yet
there was something about him some
thing in the atmosphere of the man
that almost terrified me.
I came back to earth to find that
Royce and Mrs. Kemball had drifted
away together and that my companion
was regarding me from under half
closed lids with a little smile of
anraeement.
"So you're awake again, Mr. Les
ter?" she asked. "Do you often suffer
attacks of that sort?"
"Pardon me," I stammered. "The
fact is, I I"
"You looked quite dismayed," she
continued relentlessly.; "You seemed
positively horror stricken. I saw noth
ing formidable about him."
No, you don't know him!" I retort
ed and stepped, lest I should say too
much.
"I think we'd better sit down," she
said, smiling. "Your knees seem to be
Btlll somewhat shaky."
So we sought a seat near the stern,
where we could watch the city sink
gradually away in the distance as the
great boat glided smoothly out Into
the bay.
I confess I was worried. I had not
thought for a moment that Martigny
would have the temerity to board the
same boat with us yet It was not so
wonderful after all, since he could not
guess that I suspected him, that I
knew him and Bethune to be the same
person. That was my great advantage.
In any event we were in no danger
from him. He was probably following
us only tnat he mignt warn his confed
erates, should we seem likely to dis
cover them. Certainly they were In no
present danger of discovery, and. per
haps might never be. But his following
us, his disregard of the grave danger
to himself, gave me a new measure of
bis savage determination to baffle us.
I found myself more and more begin
ning to fear him. ' ,
Siaould I inform Mr. "Royce of this
new development? I asked myself.
Then I remembered the doctor's words.
He must have rest and quiet during the
coming week.
"I trust that I'm not In the way, Mr.
Lester?" Inquired a low, provoking
voice at my side, and I awoke to the
fact that I had again been guilty of
forgetting my companion.
"Miss Kemball," I began desperately,
"let me confess that I'm In an exceed
ingly vexatious situation. The fact
that I can't ask advice makes It worse."
"You can't ask even Mr.' Royce?" she
queried, wtth raised brows.
"He least of all. You see, he's just
recovering from a severe nervous
breakdown."
