Page Eight 5 % MUTINY OF THE e* WYNDHAM MARTYN“ COPVWI6HT IN THS U.S. He stopped suddenly. Ills spare form tautened. Weariness had given place to sudden, bewildering tear. He retreated stealthily, noiselessly. At the side of a rowboat, he paused. His blanched face took on something of Its normal color. The Instinct to tlee was conquered. There came yet more strongly to him the desire to know by what he was menaced. But his progres sion to a woodshed show'ed no abatement of Ids caution. From che top of a closet lie took down n shotgun. Into whose twin barrels he put No. 4 cartridges. He opened the door of his living room so softly that Bettington did not hear him. It was the cold gust that made the painter look round. He saw a tall, keen-eyed man nt whose shoulder was the butt of a twelve-bore. "Don't move,” said the fisher man. Gibbs advanced slowly Into the room. He had never, to his knowl edge, set eyes on this stranger. But he looked so senrchlngly and with such obvious menace that Betting ton broke the silence. "I ought to apologize for this, 1 suppose.” he said, "but surely, on a night like this n man may seek shelter without being threatened with a scattergun.” “Who were the two men you were with In the post office yester day?" Gibbs demanded. "I was not In any post office yes terday,” said Bettington stiffly. "I have not been In company with any two men for a fortnight.” Gibbs lowered his gut.. He tried to assume a look of amiability, but there was still anxiety written plainly Bettington, watching, noted that the gun was still tn such a position ns to constitute a threat “'Vhat are yon?” said G'bbs. Bettington related his misadven tures. "A painter, eh?” said Gibbs. He crossed the room, took down from a shelf a pencil and a piece of pa per. These lie handed to the other. “Prove it,” he commanded. “Draw something.” Bettington hesitated for a mo ment. He wits not a man who went the better for being driven. But It occurred to him that here was a solitary who was mentally unbal anced. He sketched In a few skill ful strokes a portrait of the man standing there, his gun balanced In the crook of bls am. Jonathan Gibbs looked at It In silence. “It Is good,” he said deliberately. “Whatever else you may be you are a draftsman.” "Why should I be anything than I pretend?” “You’ve never seen me before?" Gibbs demanded. “Never.” Bettington said a little Irritably, "and I shall pass a con tented existence If I never see yon agnln. What sort of a Maine fish erman are you to behave like this?" Gibbs put down his gun and as sumed a more friendly air. “I've been threatened,” ho said rather vaguely. “I've made ene mies hereabout. I have to he care- ful. I was startled.” “You certainly startled me,” said the other. “I hoped to be able to pass the night here and dry my clothes.” “You surely can,” said Jonathan Gibbs. "I'll boll the water and mnke you some coffee. I guess you're hungry.” It was after the meal that Bet tington asked him. "Why should anyone threaten you here?” •• 'Jealousy,' innt<m«y,” said Gibbs, after a pause. ~ “I’m not a state of Maine man and I don’t mix with anyone They don't understand around, that.” Plainly the man had something to conccnl. After all. Bettington told himself. It was none of his business. He had often met queer. Ingrown characters. He could not go out into the black night, now made doubly luipassnblo by the del uge of rain. Gibbs made up the fire by packing a huge armful of wood Into It. Bettington was awakened by the aroma of coffee. Gibbs was hold ing Bettlngten's shoes up. “Dried stiff ns boards," he an nounced. “They’ll need to be greased before you can get Into 'em, and your pants are torn pretty bad. I'll lend you an outfit, and you enn get grlmt you want down to Blackport The sea's calm now and you can row across the bay I d hnlf nn hour.” The summer sun hnd tanned Bet tington to a rich brown. In his aeaboots—the only ones Gibbs had to lend—hla faded blue sweater and khaki shirt, he looked the sort of fishing type he had often painted. At the dock ho took a ten foot rowboat and set out to the village. He had gone, perhaps, half the dis tance, when a fast motor boat overhauled him. slackened speed as It passed nnd then swung round nnd waited In the path he was tak ing. There were two men In It One was a vastly broad-chested man with a trim sweater and white can vas trousers, lie had the look of a yacht snllor. The other, who was steering the boat, hnd no physical peculiarities other than that gen eral air of following the sea. "We’ve had an accident” said the broad-chested man nnd pointed to something at the bottom of the launch. Bettlngton clung to the side of the drifting motor boat nnd stood np. There, on the bottom of the other craft, was a man lying Im mobile. And as-the artist stooped over him. the recumbent sailor gave a tremendous half-arm Jab which caught Bettington on tbe point Of the Jaw. The other two grablied him as his head fell for ward and hauled him on board whore unconscious, he took the ’„„ of bls assailant, who rose grjbe broad-chested mao. who was W.M.U SERVtce called Sah>. dapped liim ou the back In approval. “Dandy." he cried. “And that rock prevents anyone seeing us from the village." Sam bent over the unconscious form und neatly trussed It up with rope. “The Boss will be tickled to death over this. Stove In that rowbout, one of you.” A man with a boat hook smashed In some bottom hoards nnd Jona than Gibbs’ dinghy slowly filled with water. Then the launch put out of the hay, past the buoys, and bended north for Bar Harbor. Bettlngton luid recovered from the knock-out within five minutes. He could see from the brightly pol ished brasswork and mahogany that Im was In a yacht's launch. He knew that tbe bum of the mo tor would make any call for help useless. He had been neatly knocked out and was now to be expeditiously shanghaied. It was Incredible. Then the real meaning of the thing flashed on him. He was mistaken for Jonathan Gibbs. He was rowing Gibus' boat and wearing Gibbs’ clothes. With a two days’ growth of beard and a face burned with the sun. he might easi ly pass for the fisherman. “This Is all a mistake.” he said, addressing himself to Sam. “You think I’m Jonathan Gibbs.” “I kpow d—n well you’re not,” said Sum, without animus. The thing was Inexplicable. They knew him for himself, nnd know ing it, they were tarrying 1dm off, bound with ropes, to the open sea. There was seemingly no sort of personal grudge In tills high-hand ed matter. The three men were currying out orders. “Listen, bo." said Sam, “we’ve got orders not to say n thing to you till the Boss sees you. it won't do you no good asking why we did It. or who we are. We hnd to get you alive and unharmed, nnd we did the best we (¡new how.” It was dark when the lights of Bar Harbor came In sight. Bet tington was carried tip the gang way, acroes a deck nml then placed In a small cabin lighted with a single porthole. Sam untied the knots nnd wntclied the victim stretch Ills stiff and ernniped limbs. “Just a word of warning,” Snm remarked. “You can’t get out of that porthole nnd you can’t get out of this cabin. If you did. It wouldn't help you. If you're wise you’ll wnlt till the Boss sends for you.” Snm turned the keys In the door and left him prisoner. As he ex amined his dungeon he heard the throbbing of machinery. From the porthole he could ace the bont was ■loving. He pulled off the heavy sbn boots of Jonathan Gibbs and flung himself On the berth. In many adventures Bettington had lenrned that fretting and fuming were han dicaps that mon tn danger should not taka open themselves. Presently he fell asleep and was awakened by Ram. “You ain’t worrying.” sold Sam. grinning. "They tell me you al ways bad your nerve with you. You won't be able to see the Boss to night He's hitting the pl|>e and It’s as much as a man's life Is worth to go tn how. 1 haven't no authority to let you out till he gives tho word, so I'll bring you a bite to eat here." Sam waddled out. Bettington was still puzzled by Ids apparent friendliness. As a physical speci men of humanity Sum did not awaken confidence. On his broad, flat face were written lust and brute courage. He would be a bad man to cross. But why should he regard Howard Bettington, painter of seascapes god mnn of Integrity, with such an air of comradeship? “Where ft re we bound for?" he asked of Snm. when a tray of food was brought In. "Noo York.” sold Sam. "Can't I go on deck?” Bettington asked. "I can't escape.” Ram shook his head. "Not till the Boss gives the word.” "Who Is the Boss? The cap tain r "The captain?” There was scorn In Sam's tons. "Him I H—I, no." “Yon mean the owner?" Sam's Scorn of the owner was Just as emphatic. “He may think he's the boss and Capt'n Hnllet may think he Is. but they don't know—yet." Snm rose to go. “Just one bit of advice, bo, don't make a noise. If yon do you’ll go to Noo York gngged." • •••••• Bettington hnd not been gone on his errand to Blackport a half hour, when Jonathan Gibbs In his motor dory went out to his lobster pots. He was returning when he saw a smaller boat. Its gunwales awash, almost across his bow. He knew It Instantly for his own. Investigation showed that some of the plnnklng hnd been staved In. He supposed that one of the needle rocks must have done It He blamed himself for allowing the stranger to cross the bny. Almost certain death would await any man dressed as Bettington had linen, In such cur rents as these. Gibbs went to Ids shack with an uneasy mind. The whole eplsoile spelled publicity to him, but he cheered himself with the hope that his guest might have been rescued. In tnat case lie would soon be back at the shack. But by midnight Bettington did not return nnd Gibbs went careful ly through the things which were In the torn coat. There was s gold watch with the Initials H. B. on It. A wallet contained almost four hun dred dollars. There were no let ters. But there was a reference on a memorandum of repairs to the skylight of ■ studio st a given ad dress and ■ reedpt for the rental of It to ths end of the current year. And there was a bunch of keys For almost an hour Gibbs sat mo- tlonltwa. Then hp roes to his feet, >«t a kettle on the oil stove and presently shaved blmaeit carefully and trimmed his hair. Tie rubbed the grease which Bettington had applied to hts shoes so carefully In to the leather that It became at length flexible nnd he was able to put them on. Hasty repairs to the torn trousers and coat enabled him to wear them. With nn Iron which had been little used of lute, he pressed them Into something of their former shape.

A sleepy ticket agent gave hltn a ticket to Portland nnd forgot the occurrence Instantly. In Portland be spent only a few hours. New York received him with n thousand others at tbe Grand Central and he walked eigld blocks down to a brownstone bouse oppo cite an armory. Bettlngtou's name i-.-ns on n plate over a letter box A key on tbe bunch fitted It and he drew out some mall and wulked. having met not a soul, to the top of the house. Then, ufter a moment’« pause, be opened the studio door and found Id inself In a haven so se cure that he could hardly believe It had been attained so easily. Ills eyes brightened when he saw that the former occupant had cans of mlllr. soup and fish In abundance. There were at least two pounds of tea. Further search revealed sugar and coffee. He could live fur a week on what he found und never venture outside the door.
