CHAPTER I Overhearing a conspi racy between her uncle end the cap tain of his ship ito sink lie vessel and collect Insurance, lri Yorke se cretes herself aboard the Andromeda just before It sails for southern seas. Her uncle, who la her guardian. aa has commanded her to wed old Dicky Buhner, thinks, she haa run away to avoid the distasteful marriage. II Philip Hozler, young and hadnsom'e second officer of the Andromeda, dis covers Miss Yorke aboard. Ill iris tells Hozier of the plot to aink he vessel, and he keeps watch on Cap tain Coke.

He daneea at Iris, vanity being nis first consideration, It is probable thnt he would have refused to be made ridiculous in her eyes had not a knock on the door galvanized hiin into a fever of fright. He sprang up ana glared wildly around for some means of eluding the threatened scrutiny of a search party. Lulsa Gomez flung him a rough skirt .and a shawl. 'He huddled into a corner near the bed and draped the two garments over his head and limbs. Then the woman unbarred the door, A man stacgered In. He wns aione, and a swirl of wind and rain caused thn ntrm tn flicker no madlv thnt no til the door was closed again. But Iris knew him. Though her eyes were dim with tears, though the newcomer carried a broken gun in his hands a Ml his face was blood stained. she knew. With a shriek that dismayed the oth cr women, who could not guess that Joy Is more boisterous than sorrow, sh leaned ud and threw her arms around him. "Oh. Philip, Philip 1" she sobbed. "He told me you were dead, and I be lieved him!" . The manner of her greeting was de lightful to one who had faced death for her sake many times during the uast hour, yet Hozler was so surprised by Its warmth that he coma una never a word at tho moment But he had the good sense to throw aside the shat tered rifle and return her embrace with interest. When they parted in that same squalid hut at midnight he took with him the Intoxication of her kiss. let he scarce brought himself to believe that the night's happenings were real or that they two would ever meet again on earth. Aud now here was Iris quivering against his breast He could feel the beating of her heart. The perfume of her hair was as in cense in his nostrils. She was cling ing to him as if they had lorea through all eternity. Ban Benavldes suppllea a iimeiy tonic. Throwing aside the rags whien cov- red him. he tried to rise, rump caught a glimpse of the uniform, the sheen of the naked swora. ue whs about to tear himself from Iris' clasp and spring at this new enemy when the Brazilian spoke. "Mil dlabos!" he cried in a rage, "This cursed Inglez still lives, and hero .m t rvnaincr hrfnre him like an oia bag!" ti Tolee alone saved him from be lng pinned to the floor by a man who hA ndonted no llcht measures with others of his countrymen during the nnat half hour, as the dented gun bar rel minus its stock well showed.

These people may give us food. I have some few sovereigns In my pocket" "Oh. yes. yesr She was excited , now and radiantly, hajipj. "Of course "Then there really was a warship!" murmured Iris. "Ha!" said San Benarides, and hla tone was almost gratified, for he had gathered that Hozler was skeptical when told of the rockets. But in that respect at least he was not mistaken. A ninn-of-war had entered tbe road stead, aud her powerful lamp was now scouring sea and coast for tbe mlss- DR. C. A. AUCT PHYSICIAN AND SURGEON Office In Bank Building.

Let me ask him to ex plain matters to this dear woman and her daughter. . They have been more than kind to me already." She turned to the sulky San Bena vldes and told him what nozier had suggested. He brightened at that and begau a voluble speech to Lulsa Go mez. Interrupting himself, he In quired lu French how Hozier proposed to reach the rock. "On a catamaran. There are two on the beach, and I can handle one of them all right," said Philip. "But what is this yarn of a warship? When last I sighted the launch she was standing out of the harbor, and the first clouds of the storm helped to screen her from the citadel." Iris interpreted. San Benavldes re peated his story of the rockets. In her present tumult the girl forgot the touch of realism with regard to the firing that he had heard. Certainly there was a good deal of promiscuous rifle shooting after tbe departure of the launch, but warships use cannon to enforce their demands, and the boom of a big gun had not woke the echoes of Fernando Noronba that night. Philip deemed the present no time for argument. He despised San Benavldes and gave no credence to hlra. Just now the Brazilian was an evil that must be endured. Lulsa Gomez promised to . help in every possible way. Her eyes sparkled at the sight of gold, but the poor wo man would hare assisted them out of sheer pity. Nevertheless the gift of a couple of sovereigns, backed by the promise of many more if her husband devoted himself to their service, spur red her to a frenzy of activity. There was not a moment to be lost. The squall had spent itself, and a peep through the chiuks of the door showed that tbe moon would quickly be In evi dence again. It waB essential that they should cross the channel while the scattering clouds still dimmed her brightness, so Manoela and her mother collected such store of food and milk and water as they could lay hands on Well laden, all five hastened to the creek, and Hozier, Iris and San Bena vldes boarded the larger of the two catamarans. When the catamaran rounded the last outlying crag and they were all straining their eyes to find the sentinel pillars they became aware that a small boat was being pulled cautiously toward them from the opposite side f the rock. Iris gasped. She heard Hozier mut ter under his breath, while San Bena vldes revealed his dismay by an oath and a convulsive tightening of the hands that rested on the girl's shoul ders. Hozler strove with a few desperate trokes of the paddle to reach the shad ows of the passage before the cata maran was seen by the boats occu pants. He might have succeeded. uc there was even a greater prouauuuy that the unwieldy catamaran might be caught by the swell aud dashed side long against one of tbe half submerged rocks that thrust their biacit rangs above the water. HanDily they were spared either al ternative. At the very Instant that their lot must be put to the test of chance Coke's hoarse accents came to their incredulous ears. "Let her go. Olsen " he was growl ing. "We've a clear course now, an' that infernal moon will spile every thing if we're spotted." In this instance hearing was believ ing, and Philip was the first to guess what had actually occurred. "Boat ahoy, skipper!" he sang out In a lovous hall. Coke stood up. He glared bard at tbe reef. "Did ve 'ear it?" he cried to De Sylva. "Sink me, I 'ope I ain't a-copy in pore ole Watts, but If that wasn't Hozler's voice I m goin' dotty." "It's all right, skipper." said rhlllp, sending the catamaran ahead with a mighty sweep. "Miss Yorke is here Captain San Benavldes too. I was sure you would look for us if you cleared the harbor safely." Then Coke proclaimed his sentiments in tbe approved ritual of tbe high sens, while the big Norseman at the oars swung tbe boat's neaa rouna uuiu both craft were traveling In company to tbe waiting launch. Before any thing In tbe nature of an explanation was forthcoming from the occupants of either the boat or the catamaran a broad beam of white light swept over the crest of tbe Island from north to south. It disappeared to return more slowly until It rested on Rat island, at tbe extreme northwest of the group. It remained steady there, showing a wild panorama of rocky heights and tumbling sea.

And in that moment of fresh peril It was forgotten by all but one of the men who had survived so many dangers since the sun last glided the peak of Fernando Noronha that were It not for Iris having been left behind and Philip's mad plunge over board to go to her and the point blank refusal of tbe Andromeda's captain and crew to put to sea without an effort to save the pair of them the launch would not now be hidden be hind the black mass of the Grand-pere rock.
