C H A P TE R IV— Continued Bob sauntered off feeling that he bad come face to face with men more evil than he had ever knowD before. On the deck above his sister w as; he bad been told he must not venture there. Above that deck was the wire­ less house, In which he was deeply Interested. He had seen a cheery young man In uniform, who had been pointed out as the wireless operator. But between the two was a great gulf fixed. “ Sparks” was an officer. Per­ haps Bob had entered upon his new task with too great an enthusiasm. He found himself called upon to do certain greasy and oily offices usually performed by engine room help. Metz­ ger, the chief engineer, swore at him viciously when he began to ask ques­ tions about the engines. On the whole, he found himself, for the first time I d his life, distinctly unpopular. Barnegat Light was In sight when Bam, at midnight, came Into Betting- ton’s cabin. “ The Boss says you can see him now.” he growled. Bettlngton followed him along a dim passage to the extreme stern of the vessel. Here he unlocked a door leading to a companion way which brought him to a quarter deck at the after part o f the yacht. There were two big wicker chairs and a table. Sam motioned him to sit down. Then he knocked at a stateroom door and was bidden to enter. “ You’re to go In," Sam said a few moments later. “ I'll wait here.” It wns not surprising that a certain emotion o f excitement and, perhaps, apprehension seized upon the painter as he moved toward the door. What manner of ruffian was he to confront? And what was It that he had been predestined for? A man who could hold a turbulent and ferocious brute like Sam In thrall, would probably be one o f greater power and violence than he. Never, Bettlngton confessed, as he entered the stateroom, had his pre­ judgments been more at fault. This was no towering bully, no disciple of the strong-arm school o f underworld aristocracy who looked at him. Ap­ parently the man wns of the same social class as himself. The Boss was a little, slender man, delicate o f feature and limb. His face hnd that Ivory pallor one associates with extreme old age. And yet, he did not seem to be an old man. He was smiling as Bettlngton entered; he smiled while he talked. “ I am nfrntd,” said the Boss, after waving his guest to a seat, “ that you have not enjoyed your voyage.” “ I have not,” Bettlngton returned. “I may tell you at once, that I resent the whole occurrence. It has been one outrage added to another. That they had their origin In a mistake I know very well, but the effect Is Just the same and I demand to be put ashore at once.” “ We are provisioned for a year,” said the Boss calmly, “ and most likely shall not touch any port for one month.” “ I shall,” snapped the painter. " I think not,” the other corrected gently. "I expected you to make these protests. Sam has told me of your attitude and I admire I t The wise man differs from a fool In knowing Just when to try to make terms. We are here to talk business.” “ Look here," Bettlngton began. “1 explained to your first murderer out there, that there had been some mis­ take of Identities. My name Is Bet­ tlngton; I am a painter o f seascapes and my studio is on Last Thirty-fourth street” The Boss took from a small table a New York paper. “ Did you have a pleasant funeral?*' he asked suavely. He passed the paper over the table and pointed out an obituary notice tucked away In an obscure spot. “ Read It." the Boss commanded. The paragraph was bended: "Well-Known Marine Painter Killed. “ Falla From Fire Escape In Dark.” Bettlngton read an umuzlng descrip­ tion of his death, burial and life's work. The chief wiiness at the In­ quest wns Floyd Cnwl«. Unwin had been amazed to see Ids friend, whom he thought to be out o f town, and climbed to his studio to call upon him. The rooms were seemingly In dark­ ness and none answered the knock. Ia the morning the Janitor had dis­ covered the mutilated body In the yard. Floyd Unwin end he hnd Identi­ fied I t “ It waa « .lever idea, said the W S U Service Boss, “ but 1, too, read the paper«. In the Idiom of poker, I have called your bluff. In almost eveiy case I have had to do that to get my crew. Take Sam, for example. Sam, under another name, was doing rather well bootlegging across the Canadian line. In Rangely he wna on the way to be­ come respected. It was necessary to remind him that he had broken from Dannemora. I was compelled to build up his real past I hold It over him." The Boss waved his delicate hand airily. " It Is a truism that knowl­ edge la power. I have Just told you by what method I have the whip-hand o f what you call my ’first murderer.' ” “ But why put me In possession of It?” Bettlngton demanded. “ That strike* me as a very unwise step.” “ Because, my dear Andrew Orme, I have Just as strong a hold over you.” Bettlngton made a gesture o f despair. The Boss had not the look of a crazed man; but this sort o f talk pointed to an egocentrlclty not fnr from megalo­ mania. He had the delusion of power. “ Andrew Orme," said Bettlngton. “ Who Is he?” “ I ’ll tell you." The Boss passed a box of cigars to the other. "Andrew Orme did very well at Yale. He wag on his way to become a great sur­ geon. Then he found within himself the curse of gaming. He needed money. He found he possessed the dangerous gift of copying signatures. So he forged. And when he wns dis­ covered he killed the man who threat­ ened to give him up to Justice. He had committed his murder In San Francisco and was sent to San Quen­ tin as a life prisoner. He escaped and was absolutely lost from view. That was almost ten years ago. I found him by accident. I was automobtling In New England and needed water for a boiling motor. I went to a fisher­ man's shack. There I found one Jona­ than Gibbs, disguised with a beard and clad In the rough garb of a fisherman. Much the same picturesque costume as you wear now. I did not tell him that I knew him. At that time I had no possible use for him. It was not until three years later that I made u i of my knowledge." One thing was cleared up, at all events. Bettlngton had been shang­ haied because he was thought to be the fisherman whose clothes he wore. He saw now how strangely fortune had deserted him. Out here at sea, he could not prove himself to be the man he was. And the mysterious death o f a man like enough to himself to be Identified by Unwin all added to the difficulty of setting himself straight. He remembered how Gibbs had feared he had entered his rude shack for some Inimical purpose. And Sam had let fall that Gibbs had been shadowed. And BettlngtoD recalled that Gibbs had been much more fear­ ful In manner than any honest fisher­ man had the need to be. Undoubtedly Gibbs was Andrew Orme, surgeon and forger. . . . And Howard Bettlng­ ton was dead and burled. The anxiety that Ills face betrayed, led the Boss to think he had come to a saner way of thinking. “ I am offering you a far better way of living than ever you had In'Maine. When we are through with this trip you will have money— plenty of It— and can spend It, and your life. In some southern port." “ And If I don’t accept?" The smile of the other man grew Irritating. “ None knows of your being aboard but my men. There are only three of the men who are not for m e; Hal- lett, the captain, his nephew who Is the wireless operator, and a lad named Unwin. They can be eliminated . . . . so can you.” Unwin. So that was why he had seen his old friend come aboard. It was his mechanically-minded son who was among those o f the crew presently to be eliminated. A mood of unusual caution took hold o f Bettlngton. As skillfully as possible he must learn what was required o f him and to what perils those on the ship were to be put. “ But if you eliminated me," he said easily, “ you would put yourself to some Inconvenience. You’ve put my cards on the table without any aid of mine. What about your own cards?" “The sensible man," said the Boss. “ Is the adaptable one. I am glad you are seeing the wisdom of readjust­ ment. Here are my cards, Andrew Orme. This boat was chartered, through my advice, by Elgar Radway, the multi-millionaire. He Is aboard now with his wife, a noted beauty, and a girl secretary. This boy Unwin, of whom I spoke. Is the secretary's brother." Bettlngton hoped the other did not see the slight start he gave when he realized that Mary Unwin was here He remembered now that she wa3 Radway's private stenographer. He thought of Sam, of Metzger and those other Ill-omened men who would be likely to make up such a crew as this. Something o f the horror he could not conceal betrayed Itself. “ Do not he alarmed.” said the Boss; "this Is an expedition planned only for the possession of money The women will be safe as long as I rule; be sure o f th a t” “ What Is the scheme? Blackmail?" “ Something simpler and cleaner. Radway has come aboard, as he him­ self almost believea, to rest H# has arduous tasks before him. I know— and be realizes It now—that he has come aboard to fill himself with the rich food and alcohol his physicians have forbidden him for a year. “ Every year, I find, he has spent a month In this manner. At the end of these trips he goes back to his office and works like ten men. But this year he has had hardening arteries and planned to be temperate. That was why he brought his wife and the girl. . . . That was why he sent me this telegram.” The Boss showed Bettlngton the wire Mary Unwin bad sent to "Clements,” Bar Harbor, “ n e honestly Intended to stay sober or moderately so.” "And won’t he?” “ At dinner tonight he was offensive­ ly drunk. I heard bis wife whisper, ‘A fter what you promised me. Elgar.’ ” "Then you are a guest here?" It explained th* luxurious stateroom in which the Boss sat “ I am not," said the Boss. “I oc­ cupy an anomalous position; In « sense a derogatory one. It so suits me, for our purposes, to play the part of the steward." Bettlngton wondered why he felt a disinclination to ask this man who and what he was. He realized that he was In the presence of one from whom emanations of evil and unusual mmm, “ I’ll Tell You.” The Boss Passed a Box of Cigars to the Other. powers were given ou t He was an­ noyed to admit i t With Sam or the rest o f the crew It was different They feared that the knowledge might bring them. If they forced him through dis­ obedience to use It, to death or Impris­ onment. But no man had such a hold over Howard Bettlngton. And yet he experienced uneasiness In the presence of this small, eternally smiling man whose neck he could wring with his powerful grasp as easily as one might choke the life out of a fowl. “ What part nm I to play?” Bettlng­ ton asked. For a time, at any rate, he must seem to fall I d with the other’s plans. “ It may be very little," the Boss said. “ This Is how the matter stands. Radway can afford to be away from his office for a month. He has so ar­ ranged things that ne Is safeguarded for that time. But to stay away longer would ruin him. Another finan­ cier, Gibbons, ia a dangerous antag­ onist When the time comes. Radway will be offered the choice of ruin or a ransom of one million dollars. He will bluster, threaten and fight In the end he will do as I have arranged.” “ But the captain and the others?” “ Will be eliminated. I have taken every precaution. I shall seize tbs ship and dictate terms.” Bettlngton thought a moment “ That’s all very well,” he cried, “ but you can’t carry off Into captivity an International figure like Radway. Why, man, they'll send gunboats out and every ship we pass will be look­ ing for us. There's no disguising a craft like this." “ There will be no alarm. Letters will be prepared written in Radway's band, explaining that bis health la benefiting slowly and that he will re­ main away for a few weeks longer. Mrs. Radway will write to her father, the senator, and the girl secretary will send postals to her parents. . . . They will disarm all suspicion.” “ How?” Bettlngton demanded blunt­ ly. “ You'll threaten them with vio­ lence unless they write? The women won't do It, nor Radway either!” “ Nevertheless they will be written. For what purpose do you suppose An­ drew Orme, master forger, was dragged from Blackport. Maine?” The Boss took some papers from a drawer. These he passed to Bettlng­ ton. “ Here are letters written by Mrs. Radway and her husband. Study them closely. You are to berth in the next stateroom." He led Bettlngton Into an adjoining cabin. From It another room was seen. “ That,” said the Boss. 'Is the doc­ tor's office.” He pointed to a parch ment on which the name John Waite was Inscribed. Bettlngton saw that Waite had taken his degree of doctor of medicine in the University of Penn gylvania fifteen years before. “ You will be known henceforth as noctoi Waite," «aid the Boss. “ Yon will probsblv have very little to do, but It was fortnnat* that Radway required a physician. Otherwise you would have had to become a member of my crew. The real Doctor Waite, over whom I hare some alight hold, lent me this and some Implements o f the trade, drugs and the rest of i t You will probubly have to prescribe some seda­ tives for Radway." Bettlngton knew nothing of medi­ cine; he quailed at the Idea of having to look after a really sick person. “ Your position as an officer will give you entry to the main saloon," the Boss went on. "You will be able to gain the confidence i f the women and report to me what happens. In the role I have assumed I hear much, but not enough." Bettlngton was glad to know that he would be In a position to watch over Unwin’s girl. It Is true she would not yet know his name. He supposed, until he had decided what best to do In the face of dangers, he had better keep up the masquerade. The Boss took his acquiescence as a matter o f course. It was not con­ ceivable to that arrogant spirit that there should be Insubordination. “ You will understand,” he said, “ that as a ship's doctor you will have little In common with the ship’s steward. O f me you know nothing, except that I serve Elgar Radway.” “ But I should like to know more," said Bettlngton. “ T o the best of my knowledge I have never seen you be­ fore. How Is It you know me? They call you the ‘Boss.’ What does Rad­ way call you?" “ I am William Clements to him,” said the other. "I am William Clem­ ents to you. There Is a stone over what the world thinks Is my body. In a prison graveyard. I have expiated In the world’s eyes all my faults.” He leanod forward and his thin hands clenched again. “ And yet, Andrew Orme, I shall make such a name for myself, that It will eclipse what the world knew of me ere it thought I died.” ’’Mad," thought Bettlngton. “ Crazed with the delusion o f power.” Aloud he remarked: “ I see you don’t wish to tell me anything. Very w e ll; I am not curious.” “ You will find Hallett, the captain, a disagreeable and suspicious man. Ho resents my presence. Remember, that you came aboard Just before we sailed. He will be annoyed that you did not report to him. In your state­ room you will find all the clothes you need. I f you take my advice you will turn In now.” The advice was In the nature o f a command; but as It suited his own convenience to get rid of Gibbs’ clothes he bowed to It. Bettlngton was glad to be In his new quarters. He could not sleep for a long time. By what blundering ways he was to save Unwin’s children from harm he did not know. There must be, at least, a dozen men aboard, all under the domination o f the Boss. The ship could no doubt be worked easily enough with Hallett, his nephew and Bob Unwin out of the way. As­ suredly his defiance o f the Bose would aid none o f them. There was a help­ lessness about the situation compar­ able with nothing on land. C H A PTE R V A M illionaire’s Holiday Bettlngton was awakened In the morning by a small boy who was the bearer of coffee and rolls. He an­ nounced that breakfast would be served In the main saloon within the hour. ■This Is all I need," said Bettlngton. “What's your name?” “ They call me ‘Silvers,’ " said the boy. "but my real name Is Augustus.” When he had dressed and shaved Bettlngton experienced the satisfac­ tion of a fastidious man In finding himself once more in clean apparel. On the quarter deck he found the Boes, who smiled the even, ungradu­ ated smile o f the night before. To­ day he was In a neat blue and gold uniform. “I had better Introduce you,” he said, “ to Hallett and then to the rest It la most important that the women trust you. Hallett has already In­ fected them with some distrust of me.” Hs led the way to the upper deck, which was also the bout deck and that on which the wireless room was. Hallett was a square built man and a capable sailor. He was embittered at having no higher coma and than this pleasure cruft when his former companions were masters of ocean­ going liners. He was perpetually In a state of annoyance at the curious position occupied by Clements the steward. Actually Rudwuy, on whose favor he was dependent, hnd decided In several Instances that Clements must be obeyed. It was bitter to a man who bad decided ideas on the Im­ portance of bis office. “ Well?” he snapped, turning to the steward. “ What Is It?" “ This la Doctor Waite, Captain," he answered. Hullett from the beginning set him­ self to be hostile. “ When did you come aboard?" Bettington said what he had been told. Hallett spoke bitterly about shipboard etiquette and modern ways. Then he turned abruptly away as his nephew came up. This wns a pleas­ ant-faced man o f three-nnd-twenty, who obviously shared his uncle’s opinion of Clements. The boy seemed excited and worried. "W hat do you think of the skipper?” Clements asked. “ A hard man to handle,” Bettlngton returned, “ ns all obstinate men are." “ H e’s of no Importance,” Clements said Idly. “ Did you notice how ‘Sparks’ seemed to be upset? Something has happened to his wireless. He finds he can’t adjust It and has to call In the electrician, who is one o f my men, to help him. I shall let It work for a few days.” Again that calm assumption o f ab­ solute power from the little, slender man In his absurd livery. “ When I decide that no messages may be sent or received, Gruumann will get busy. Look, that's Radway." Radway had come on deck to walk himself Into a condition which would permit him to enjoy an unnecessary luncheon. "Cocktails,” he commanded, as he caught sight of Clements, lie stopped short when be saw the stranger. ‘Who’s this?” “ Doctor Waite,” Clements answered. ‘You wired me to ship a physician aboard.” * “I remember now,” Radway an­ swered. “ Why haven’t I seen you be­ fore this?” His manner was abrupt and hard. He looked doubtfully at this tall, self- possessed man who returned his glare tranquilly. “ The doctor doesn’t like to confess to being a bit seasick," Clements an­ swered readily. "Then a cocktail will do him good.” Radway decided. “ Bring four. You know my kind; Just a dash o f ab­ sinthe In them.” When Clements had gone— and there seemed something strangely out of place In sending such a man on such an errand— Radway turned to Bet­ tlngton. “ I eat too much and I drink too much and my arteries are made up o f calcium, they tell me. Like the rest of them, you will preach temper­ ance. You are not here for that. You are here to patch me up If the need occurs.” “ Patching won’t help you much,” Bettlngton remarked. “ I f you're not up to the Job, I’ll tell Clements to ship some one who Is.” Abruptly Radway turned on his heel. He did not I d the least mind If be had left his physician angry. The anger of fools—and a poor man was a fool, In his opinion— had no weight. The sea air was beginning to make him hungry. This would mean a rich luncheon served as that artist, the fat chef, alone knew how. A feeling of well-being pervaded him at the sight of the cocktails. He told Clements to pass one to the doctor. "W e can’t wait for the ladies,” said Radway, and threw his drluk down with a single movement. “ I wish I could sip like you," he said to Bettlng­ ton. "When I want a thing I want all o f It, tnstaDtly. As the ladies don’t seem to be coming up, why let their cocktails go to waste?” (T O B E C O N T IN U E D ) I D a d d v jS E s U e n in c j Fairij Tale - jO r -MARY ■ GRAHAM • BOMNER » VUriSM UNIOW , ..........- GRUNTS “ What Is bothering you?" asked brother Bacon, who was taking a walk, and who had heard Pinky Pig grunting a good deal.
