As If in answer to this thought, tha

a lout of a boy came gallophil; down

Aii hour lute. In dusk of evening,
the train lumbered Into Portland sta-i

Hose from the steps, shouldered a way)
for her through the crowd, and almost
lifted her Into a taatoab.

"And be quick about It- (or a double)

He w.o.t, I the better part of sn
hour In fruitless and perhaps Ill
advised Inquiries; then his luck, such
as It was. led him on suspicion down
n poorly lighted wharf, at the ex
Ireme end of which he discovered a
lonely youiu man perched atop a pile,
hands In pet sets, gase turned to B1
tide when on, now black night had
fallen, pallid s ralths of yachts swung
luat visibly beneath uneasy riding
lights.
"Psrduu i.i"." Alan ventured, "but
perhaps you i .u help me out '
"Yuu'vu come to the wrong shop, my
friend," the young man interposed
with morose civility; "I couldn't help
anybody out of anything- ths way I
am nov. ."
"I'm sorry," said Alan, "but I
thought possibly yoa might know
where I could find a seaworthy boat
to churter."
The young men slipped emartly
down from his pereb. "If you don't
look sharp," he said ominously, "you'll
charter the Beavsnture " lis waved
his hand toward a vessel moored
alongside the wharf: "There she Is,

He led l.ilekly seross the wharf
down a guii-.rlaiik, then aft along the
deck to a ct'iiipanlonway, by who h the
two
men gained a coiafortsble snd
roomy cabin, bright with fresh white
enamel.

Ha lowered Ihe binoculars and
glanced Inquiringly at his employer,
who grunted his disgust, and ssld no
'more.
"Don't tske It so hard, old top," Har
cus advised with a change of note
from Irony to sympathy. Then he rose
and dived down the companion way,
presently to reappear with a mega
phone and a double barreled shotgun.
"No rutting out psrtles In this out
fit," hs explained, grinning amiably.
"Nena of thst old stuff, revised to suit
your Infetusted femsle friend--once

Stationing himself at tbs seaward
rail, where bis figure would show In
sharp silhouette against the glowing
sunsst sky, hs brandished the shot
gun st arm's Isngtb sbovs his head,
and bellowed stertorously through the
megaphone :
"Keep off! Keep off I This menus

Putting aslds ths megaphone, ho sat
down again. "Not that I'd dare fire

hours I'm dry-clesasd down to my
silly old toes!"
Oalnlng no response from Alan, be
observed critically: "Chatty little cus
tomer, your are," and resumed the
binoculars.
For thirty minutes nothing hap
pened, other than that Ibe sound of
the fisherman's launch was stilled. It
reeted moveless In the wstere, twq
figures mysteriously busy In the cock
pit, the Seaventure's dory trailing be
hind It on a long painter.
Gradually these details became
blurred, end were blotted out by the
closing shadows. Ths afterglow In
the weet grew cool snd faint. The
erlmson waters darkened, to mauvs,
to violet, to a translucent green, to
blackness. Fsr up ths coast two
white eyee, peering over the horizon,
etared steadfastly through the dark.
"Chatham lights," Barrus said they
were.
Abruptly he dropped Ihe glasses and
lumped up. "Hear that!" he cried.
Now the humming of the motor was
again audible and growing louder with
every Inetaal; and Alan, getting to his
feet n turn, Infected wltb the en Ite
men! of Harcus, could Just make out
at sods dlatance a dark shadow b
neath the dim, spluttering glim r of
light, thst moved swiftly snd steadily
toward the Heeveuture.
"What the devil!" be deinsnded,
puttied.
"Yon ottered a mouthful when you
said 'devil'!" Barcus commeuted.

ths landward aide of the vessel.
"Quick kick off your shoes get eet
for a mile-long swim! Devil's work,

ing himself of shoes and outer gar
ments. "1 couldn't made out what
they were up to till I aaw them lash
tha wheel, light the fuse, stsrt the
motor, snd take to the dory. They've
made on grand little torpedo boat out

Ha sprang upon the rail, steady I n
himself with a stay. "Ready?" he i
asked. "Uok sharp I"
By way of answer. Alan joined him:
the wo bad dived as one, entering the
water wltb p single splash, axd com
ing to the surfacs a good ten yards
from the Seaventure Kur the next
aeveral seconde they were swimming
frantically, aud nut until three hun
dred feet or more separated thein
from the schooner did either dare
pause for breath or a backward glance.
Than the Impact of the launch
against the Beaventura's side rang out
across the wsters, and with a husky
roar the launch blew up, spewing sky
wards a widespread fan of flaino. Over
the Seaventure, as this flamed and I
died, pale lira seemed to hover like a
tremendous pall of phosphorescence, a
weird and ghastly glare that suddenly
descended to the decks. There fol
lowed a crackling noise, a sound as
of the labored breathing of a glaut;
and bright flames, orange, crimson.

Schooner, from stein to Stern, frou)

It seemed several minutes that shs
