"Don't you think that a girl who's en
gaged to out man ought to tell other men
drew back sharply and faced me
with astounded erf.
"Why, what do you mean, Mr. Sel
den!" I mi in for It, so plunged ahead.
"That day you cam to the Ship, I hid no
Idea," I blundered on. "I did not know
yon were such a friend of Isllp's."
"Well," ah said, "and now that you
know!"
"I think you should bar to'd me, I
oatht to have known before that after
noon." 8h was haughtiness Itself. "Why.
what affair was It of yours?"
I throned my shoulders. "I was enti
tled to know.'
"I cannot understand whj. What
makes you think that Mr. Isllp and I"-
tb hesitated a second are. sura old
friends!"
Of a sudden we were tn a very nasty
tempest, facing each other.
"I happened to see his picture In your
locket. It was lylsg open, face upward."
She did not even tap her fool ; she sim
ply rat still and looked her Indignation
. at me.
"Really, Mr. Selden, I cannot sec how
that affects yoa. What reason could there
lyi for telling you my personal affairs!"
I stuck doggedly at It. "I think I
should hare been told." I repeated.
She rare m a single glance, then ros.
"I am going back to the Pengnln Club,"
she said.
I ro also. "Very good. I will see you
there."
"No;" she turned to ra sharply. "I
prefer to go back alone."
She was Imperious; I could be equally
so.
"And I prefer to go with you. The
pines are loctly. and It Is growing late.
I owe at least that duty to your aunt."
Thin she tapped her foot Impatiently,
angrily. "You are very tiresome. Mr.
Selden. I am my own mistress, and I do
not want your company."
"And I will not let you go back alone."
"Ton are rery rude." She looked over
at the beach as If for some possible help.
"Is there no one ete?" she asked aloud.
There came a rolce from the cabin
steps behind me. "If you will permit
me, mademoiselle, I should esteem It a
great honor."
We both started as If we were shot,
and faced about A tall, somewhat angu
lar man stood before us. hat In hand, bow
ing low to Miss Graham.
! "J heard your Question." he said, "and
I took It on biyslf to answer It. Permit
me." He stepped forward and placed
himself at the girl's side.
"Who are yooT I asked, all amat
taent. for I was surprised out of my wits.
"My name Is I'lerre Dapo-jcenu." the
stranger said, lenorinn me and addressing
Miss Graham, "and I count myself fortu
nate In coming on a lady In distress."
We both stood still, taking In the queer
figure. Never bad I seen a man Just
like him. II was dressed all In black,
but his clothe were singularly rich and
of strange pattern. From his shoulders
hung a black closk held under his chin
by two heavily wrought gold chains.
Across bis open waistcoat, which was
black satin flowered In white, were three
rold chains, and there were rings on hi
fingers. Moreover, his manner was
strange, exotic, polished to a degree, and
hit voire had a peculiar, fasHnatlng for
'lgn softness that I had never heard In
any other man. His height was over six
feet. I recognised the figure that I had
seen In the storm.
H was smiling easily, the least per
turbed of the three. "Permit me, made
moiselle," he repeated, and offered Miss
Graham his arm.
Kb shet one glance at me, and then,
half sailing, placed her hand on bis arm.
fy he led her across the deck to the lad
der. I was still dumb with surprise. I saw
tb man In blark leap to the path, help
Miss Graham down the ladder, cross the
causeway, and disappear with her behind
the cliff. Then I sat down on a chair.
Was I awake or dreaming? A man had
come out of the Ship at a crucial mo
ment, and a nun who, my Instinct told
me, was not of our age or people. I no
longer recognized Alastalr; I was begin
ning even to doubt my sober self.
CHAITRIt IX.
Darkness fell, and still the man In the
cloak did not return, and I went back to
the cottage with my curiosity unsatisfied.
I did not know what to make of his sud
den appearance, nor of tb summary fash
.ion In -which be bad Interposed between
Miss Graham and myself. He, a total
stranger, escorting her home through the
woods! And ytt this phase of tb nut
ter did not w much surprls me, for I
felt Intuitively that wa wre dealing with
a gentleman. As far a my recollection
of sea-rovers went, I recalled that pirate
had always been scrupulously polite In
tbelr relation with th gentler sex.
Ther was no gainsaying that this sud
den apparition bad Interposed himself be
tween UUm Graham and me, yet I did not
Syastair
resent this so much as I might have, be
cause, tilings hsd been coming to n very
bad pas, and might speedily have, result
ed In even more serious trouhle than bad
occurred.
I questioned Charles closely as to
whether ho had defected any suspicious
eharacters prowling about the beach, but
hi answer was tn tho negative. "If yon
should nolle anything untnuil." I told
him. "be sure to report It Immediately to
me." It was clear to me, that something
was happening of more substantial texture
than a dream.
Later In tb evening I lighted my pipe
and walked In the direction of the Ship.
As I came to the path I saw the man lit
the ctoak silting on deck, nnd hailed him.
"May I come on board. Monsieur Du
panceaul" II ros and peered at me through the
dusk. "Is It the gentleman who dined
here this Afternoon!" he asked, somewhat
suspiciously.
"Th name."
"You are welcome,' he nnswercd, and I
could not help smiling at his attumptlon
of ownership.
He shook bands with m as I came on
board, waved to the meant cbalr, and
poured m water In one of my own
glasses.
"I must apologise that I have ho wone
to offer yon," he said In sucii a tuauntr
that my likings Instantly went out to
htm. "I should not en ham had the
pleasure of offering you this but for tb
fact that you yourself provided It."
"Will you smoke!" I handed him a ci
gar, which he accepted, and lighted with
a match I furnished. For the first tli.M
I noticed a pair of heavy pistols on th
table.
"You travel welt guarded," said I, loosing-
at them.
"I have need." he answered, "grav
need." I looked closely at him. He 4Ms
In perfect earnest, his pale face absolute
ly serious, his deep eyes set beneath black
brows. He pushed bis somewhat long
hair bark from a fine, broad forehmd. "I
do Dot know you you are, sir, but I take
you for a friend one I assure you of a
class now sadly small."
"I live aczr tho beach," I explained.
'nud mr came Is Seldon. I Imaglno that
you are a stranger to tills shore 1"
"An absolute stranger. I come from
the other sld of tb ocean. This Is th
first time I haw ever been to America."
I waited, but he would vouchsafe noth
ing further. So we sat and smoked si
lently, while I felt his keen eyes studying
me.
"May I ask your age, Mr. Selden!" he
raid at length.
"Certainly. Twenty-Wght."
"Ah I You are very much younger
than I. I am somewhere between 10 and
SO, one who has seen mueh, and so almost
an old man. '
I could not Imagine what was coming.
"It is In reference to this afternoon,"
be said, as though In answer to my
thoughts. "When I bear a woman In
it !r tress I am water, I cannot but inter
pose. Still, as I returned here this even
ing I thought that possibly you might
feel aggrieved. Ilellev me, Mr. Selden,
at the tlm I bad rye only for the lady."
II paused, then went on: "If you will
pardon a much older man, I would glv
yon a bit of counsel. Never contend with
a woman; let her have her way. Above
all, never contend with a woman who
cares for you."
"I liar the least reason In the world
to think that this ona does!" I answered.
He made no reply, but smoked thought
fully. I suddenly found his further si
lence unendurable.
"What are your plans, sir?" I asked
abruptly. "For I do not suppose that
you dropped down here entirely by chanco,
and Intend to stay until chance again
moves you away."
"No, I did not arrive solely by chance,"
he answered, "although that bad much to
do with It. Kut I expect to stay until
fortune, be It good or bad, summon m.
That Is, always supposing, Mr. Selden,
that you do not drive me away from your
beach."
"1?" I said, much surprised. "How
ran your stay her hurt me?"
Sly new acquaintance let Jils eye rest
upon my fare a moment, then smiled a
though at a passing joke of his own,
"You hate a saying that 'where Ignor
ance Is bliss 'tis folly to be wlso'; I will
not explain, therefore, and only hope that
you nay neer know; but" and bl eye
shifted for a moment from mine to the
.Ittols on the table "If jmi do know, It
will not U a very pretty piece of infor
mation." I clenched my pipe between my teeth J
th night wind was stirring; the flavor
of strange adventur bung over tb fthlp
as strongly a the salt breer from th
sea. I ftlt myself Indef.-rlbablr fasci
nated. Duponceau drew bis cloak oro

about bl chin, so that ill Of bis face. I
could clearly se wa hi long, wonderful
black eye. Indeed, they vera wonderful
those ye of his. The nice I looked
Into them, th znor they held me, and
jet the less I knew about th man him
self. I was Just wondtrlng It thla Dupaaeeao
was not n,mthtng of a hypnotist when I
found that he was speaking In a soft, low,
almost mmtnatUe nlii
"I like you, Mr, Selden, t like you ex

I could not detect arrogance; simply
th statement of facts,
"I would rather be jour friend," I an
swered, Uk was silent agnln, gating at and
through me with his dreamy, speculative
vision. I bad the fcellug that I was In
a measure spellbound- that I could not

"There aro reasons," he continued In

I am not one of the world's great men by

all the Hwers of KuroM sought for years

there who would do the same for me
Wherever Napoleon went lis brought
strife; wherever I go strlfft follows." II
ceased looking through me, and gated at
me. tou hae your quiet beach, your
snug house, your summer with the fair
lady of this afternoon; do you still wish
me to stay?"
"Th Ship Is any one's property," I
salil, "and the shore Is free. If you want
more, )u have only to ask for It at my
cottage."
"What would the lady say!" h contin
ued. "The lady has nothing white er to say
In the matter," I returned, annoyed at
his continual reference tn Miss Graham.
"I am free to chooe for myself."
Dupoiicenii smiled. "Mr, Selden, yotl
are a tons; man of spirit, but you ar
Ignorant, very IgBorant. It all depends
on the lady, iou would not weltfj me In
the bah nee for a moment If she willed
otherwise. No one Is free; there Is at
wars some other power. Kvrn th Corsl

smile fad), vanished; Puponcenn' eye
were stern and fixed.
"I have been called a pirate, a robber,
a modern Juggernaut, but It was only lie
cause I had my vision, and could seo far
ther than others could."
H was league away, his thoughts
fighting, t watched htm until his mind
cam hack.
"Now," he said, "w will fight It out.
I take you at your word the Ship I
mine, the shore any one's proerty."
Suddenly he ru ami stood peering up
tbe beach, "Some one Is coming," h
uld, and I saw that hla hands felt tor
the pistols on th table.
I looked, and saw Charles swlngtng a
lantern. "It la only my servant," I an
swered. "Can he be trusted!"
"Itnnllcltlr."
"Tell him who I a'm."
We waited until diaries cam on
board. He showed no surprise at seeing
the two of us.
"I ram for th dinner things, Mr. Fe
lix," be stated, looking at nvs and Ignor
ing Ouponrrau.
''Charles," I said, "this Is Monsieur
IUNncmti, who has lately com to stay
In this Ship. You are not to mention hi
presence here to any one, but will do
whauver he asks. You netd not tak tht
thing away; tboy way I of u to htm
In the cabin. Monsieur Ihiponeeau, yuu
may rely on Charles as on yourself."
Charles bowed to the man In black, a
fine figure, gailng steadily at my 'man. I
could not help noting tb picture that
he made, his band still on the pistols, bl
soft black hat low upon bl forehead, bis
cloak flung across bis shoulder.
Charles turned to go. "Has ther been
any message for me!" I asked as an af
terthought. "No, Mr. Felix." Charles hesitated,
"but I found a man prowling about the
hack road after supper, and, though I'd
never seen him before, I couldn't learn
bl business. He looked like a sly one,
sir."
I turned to Duponeeau; he was smil
ing. "You see, Mr. Seldon, how quickly my
words find proof. Where I com strlf
