IjlSffrlW ... ...."" Irtiti lltiStn rt The Trail H THE STRANGE EXPERIENCE a OF DR. ROBERT HARLAND Dy 0. FLETCHER ROBINSON (Conrliht. 1903. try CIIAPTKIt XX. (Continued.) The Irishman vanished and agala came the murmur of rolce. Then be reap peared, UBHtcklng the grating ami de scending the ladder. At the edge of the hole I could nee the faees ef several nii-nibers of the erew and taught the gleam ef drawn kalrea. KrWeatly they d.d not trust us. When It was orer, we followed Blake up the ladder and waited quietly while lie laid out Grades' rerolrer and our few belongings on the flap of a central table behind which the captain w standing. A abort speech by the worthy, auJ the Irishman ticgan again: "The skipper wad hare ye know," he raid. addressing Graded whh a growls: dignity that would bare bee comic enough at a ! unfortunate moment, "that ye stand accused Ir carry Ins off the oulJ giat yonder aad comrulttiu" burg lary oa his person.

"No it bektart to the old gentleman." "Th mischief it does ! Then how did ye come by ml" I feel certain that if my cousin could hare told bh story directly to the captain, the honesty of bis manner aad the simplicity of bis aarratloa would hare had effect. Hut this pleadisg at second-hand was a sorry business. From lus long pauses and facial contortions 1 soon gathered that Blake was not the lingJist that he claimed to be. Indeed, the version which the captain receired from him must hare been something astounding. The tale was scarcely con cluded when the captain raised his band, and the floundering of the interpreter ceased abruptly. Thus was his decision translated. He would touch at Southampton, where the case could be fought out in the English courts. In the meanwhile, as the erl dence was orerwbelmlngly against us, we should be placed in irons and con fined in the cabin where we then were. lie was a jast man. Angry though I was at the time, I bare come to think be did the right thing. The harmless appearance of Maniac, bis ability to plead his cause, our obrious endeavor to keep him from communicating with the crew, our possession of so raluable a pketbook belonging to him bo, we cannot blame the captain If he decided la bis far or. To attempt resistance would hare bn absurd. The men about as carried knives, and the butt of a heary rerolrer showed warnlngly from the captain's Iocket. For the first time In either of our lire the handcuffs snapped at our wrists. They mored out one by one; the door was closed and barred upon us. In another three minutes we were both asleep. Our Ill-fortune, the doings of our worst enemy, the Irons at our wrists we forgot them all In the dead, still sleep that Nature grants to the rery woary. It was Make who woke us with our midday meal. He was In bis most talk atire mood. Guilty or Innocent, it made small difference to him, after he had de cided upon the fact of our gentility. He was agog with the manner of Mar line's escape from us. The lad who was servant to the captain had been down In the latarette, and from pure curiosity bad poked up the trap in the cabin floor. With promises of money, Marnac had persuaded the youngster to guide him to the captain. In their haste they bad for gotten to close the trap arid grating be hind them, though they bad secured those at the head of the second ladder. Mar nac bad waited in the captain's room while the lad went forward to find his master. It was doubtless their interview that Graden had observed from the bridge. When the supposed victim of our plot bad told his story, they bad armed themselves and come to arrest us, calling the Irishman and two more of the crew In case of resistance. They had found us below a source of delight to the Portuguese sailors, who had a healthy terror of Eugllshmeu; aud the rest we knew. "Come, my man," said my cousin after lie had concluded, "for yourself, now do you bellere us guilty V "Faith, sorr, 'tis a quare business en totrely," he answered, scratching his red pole Indeclslrely. "For whether 'tis you or the ould glntleniau that they'll lay by the heels In Southampton Water, It's not fer mo to be after saying. Sure 'tis wan of the two which Is all 01 knows." "N'nur. Ilnten to IMP. Tim Itlnko" l,1 rny cousin. "My name Is, as I told you, Kir Henry Graden, aud I am a rich man. I am not asking you to neglect your duty, which Is to keep us in; but If you will bare an eye to the door so as to keep that old gentleman out, there'll be fire and twenty pounds In your pocket." Whatever the Irishman may bare thought of our characters, there was no doubt as to bis belief lu the genuine na ture of the offer. Ho beamed upon us with a childlike Jubilation that was quite comic In U enthusiasm. "Indade, sorr, ludade, and I will!" be cried. "Hare you the key7" "I bare, sorr. Wud your honor like to kaps It?

After a moment s thought, he drew his pocket a handful of rubbish from whkh he extracted a large Ball. Graden'a boot served as a hammer, and with this he drove it Ib.o the keyhole. "Twill boald it Mae!" cried he. re gardiag his wtirk with exaltation. Aad so, with fresh assuraaces of watchfulness, be left as. CIIAPTKIt XXI. The wiad rose again that afternoon, and by four o'clock it was Wowing rery bard. The sas drove against the sides of the old ship in thunderous marmnrs; bow and again they spraag the bulwarks, crashing down a poo the deck above Ms and shaking the iron fabric in convulsive tremors. In the confined cabin my nau sea visited me again. Unougb that I was supremely miserable. At six, Illake had brought as a sup per. Ills' presence irritated me; and when he pressed food upon me, I spoke my mind strongly oa the lamentable want of tart general amongst sailors. He gave us the comfortable news, however, that we were expected to reach South ampton by three next moraiag. The night crawled on. Illake had helped us Into bunks and covered u with rugs. I found the handcuffs of small inconvenience. I could hear Graden snor ing. For myself, I could not go to sleep, but lay In the lowest misery, starlug at the opposite partition, that rose and fell at the ship's rollings with a sickening regularity. Just before midnight, the lamp that had probably been Injured when Graden fell In the latarette smoked, flared, and expired. I was too unwell to care, except for the smell. Vet it waa the darkness which saved our lires. It was about half an hour later that I first noticed it a faint ray of Illum ination winking in the center of the cabin floor. At first I imagined that the nau sea had affected mj eyes, ami so peered Into the black of the liUht, rubbing them impatiently. Hut the rays stesdtal and. If anything, Increased la volume. It was a ghostly thing to witness, this white knife-edge of light slabbing up from the solid planking without cause or ex planation. I was about to shout to Graden when I remembred the trap door. Someone was below In the laiar ette! For some moments I remained staring at the ererlee through which the rays Ised up to me. After all, It might be some member of the crew; but if not if It were old Marnac! What then? He was an old man; he could not force th grating, even If be had obtalued the key. We had seen to that. I do not pretend to say that I was un afraid. There were devilish possibilities in a hatred such as that In which tar mad professor held us. Yet after a while ray curiosity overcame inj tear, Just as my fear bad put aside my sickness. I rolled from my bunk noisily enough, 1 dare say, but all sound was dulled by the turmoil without. The pitching of the vessel made it Impossible for me to stand, so I crawled forward to where the edge of the trap was outlined. I felt for and found the ring, gripped it with my teeth, and slowly, for the Iron hampered my balance, raised the edge Then with my hands I thrust the edgo of the boot, which I had remored for that purpose, into the crack. Flat on my face, I peeped below. It waa indeed Marnac The light of a ship's lantern, jammed between two barrels, drew streaks of silver from hi white hair as he bent to his labor. Seat ed astride one of the steel cylinders that we had noticed, he was unscrewing tho last of the nuts which secured its Iron cap. What he Intended I bad no Idea, He was fingering tho nut which the spanner had loosened, when I saw a faoe creep out of the shadow behind him. It was the captain's boy. With Infinite caution be moved forward, with a blend ing of alarm and curiosity In bis manner and showed he was no party to what was proceeding. Probably the key to the latarette had been purloined from him, and he had discovered It loss. When scarcely two yards from Marnac, the lurch of the ship threw him from his balance. As he stumbled forward, Mar nac snun round with a scream of the most 'violent passion. Swinging the heavy hammer, he brought it down upon the bent head with a scrunching blow. Tho lad bad dropped upon the floor face downwards; nor did he try to rise again. "Murderer! I cried down upon him, In horror at so fearful a spectacle. Marnac dropped bt weapon and started back, bis fingers twitching, his eye searching wildy round for a sight of bis accuser. Yet when, at last, he saw my face above him, be drew himself together without a sign of trepidation sara that the band with which he prlrped the stairs stM shook slightly. "Aea! but k Is ysm." be whispered up. "Fnc a mom wit I tlwuKut bat it was the folly of a child.

It seemed to me that the thun ders of the storm redoubled In rlolence. as If Nature was conspiring to snout me tlnwa. Once I looked round and saw that the light rjxnt the trap bad gone. Graden bad smothered the spot with blankets. Presently be came groping te me. raising bis voice la hoarse bellow- lag". Aad then It happened. There came an acrid, plerciag scent to my nostrils, that grew and grew until my Inngs seemed to contract, so that I fought for very breath. My cries ceased. I straggled to my feet, with my bead raised like a bird shot through the laags. Hrilllaat lights Hashed In my eyes; there were holbtw drammlngs In my ears. And then It seemed that the air left me in a vacuum. I fell, aad forgot It alt. It was daylight when I remember facts again. The motion ef the ship bad ceased, aad there was an Hngllsh strang er by my side. My chest felt bruised and battered, and my eyes still watered freely. Also I was very weak and lit. "My cousin Y' I faltered. "We have got your friend round," said the doctor for so I felt that he must be, "also the other man." "What man?" "The man who pulled you out after the cylinder exploded. A red-beaded fellow Illake. 1 think his name is. You owe your lives to him. You had both fainted when he uenl the door." Then he heard ns, after all! Tell. me what became of Marnac?" "I really don't know alxmt him. I don't think he was Injured. Oh! perhaps you mean the old gentleman who bolt- "liolted?" "Yes, of course there was great excite ment over the accident.
