SYNOPSIS. The story opens with tlip Introduction of John Stephens, adventurer, n Mnnsa chunetts limn mnrooned by authorities nt Valparaiso. Chile. DelriK Interested In mining- operations In Bolivia, liu wns de nounced by Chllo uw nn Insurrectionist and as a consequence wns hiding. At his hotel his intention wns nttrurtcd by nn KiiKllshman and a young wumnn. Steiihcns .rescued the young womnn from n drunken oincor. He was thnnked by her. Admiral of tho Peruvian nnvy con fronted Stephens, told him that wnr had been declared between Chllo nnd Peru nnd offered him tho olllce of cnptnln. Ho desired that that night the Estnernldn, a Chilean vessel, should bo captured. Rtephena ncceptod tho commission. Stephens mot a motloy crow, to which ho was assigned. Ho gave them final In structions. They boarded tho vessel. They successfully captured tho vessel supposed to be the Esmeruldn, through strntegyt Cnpt. Stephens gave directions for the do- farture of the craft. He entered the cab n nnd discovered tho English woman and her maid. Stephens quickly learned tho wrong vessel had been captured. It wns Lord Darlington's prlvato yacht, tho lord's wife nnd maid being aboard. Ho explained the situation to her lady ship. Then First Mato Tuttlo laid bare tho plot. Baying that the Sea Queen had been taken in order to go to the Antarc tic circle. Tuttlo explained that on A former voyneo he had learned that tho Donna Isabel was lost In 1763. He had found It frown In a huge case of Ice on an Island and contained much gold. Stephens consented to bo the captain of tho expedition. Ho told Lady Darlington. She was greatly alarmed, but expressed confidence In him. The Sea Queen encountered a vessel In tho fog. Stephens Attempted to communicate. This caused a fierce struggle and ho wns overcome. Tuttlo finally squaring tho sit uation. Then the Sea Queen headed south again. Under Tuttle's guidance the ves sel made progress toward Its goal. Do Nova, tho mate, told Stephens that ho believed Tuttle, now noting as skipper, Insane because of his queer notions. Stephens wns awnkencd by crashing of glass. He saw Tuttlo in the grip of a spasm of religious mania and overcame him. The sailor upon regaining his senses was tnken 111. Tuttle committed sulclda by shooting. Upon voto of the crew Stephens nssumed tho leadership and the men decided to contlnuo 'tho treasure hunt, the Inlands being supposed to be only 200 miles distant. Tuttle wns burled In tho sea, Indy Darlington pronouncing the service. Stephens awaking from sleep saw tho ghost, supposed to havo formed the basis for Tuttle's religious mania. Upon advice of I.ndy Darlington, Stephens started to probe tho Klibst. He came upon IJeut. Sanchez, the drunk en officer he had humbled In Chile. Ho found thnt at Sanchez' Inspiration, En gineer McKnlght played "ghost" to scare the men Into giving up tho quest. Steph ens announced that the Sea Queen was at the spot where Tuttle's quest was sup posed to bo. The crew wns anxious to go on In further search. De Nova and Steph ens conquered them In a Hut fight. I-ady Darlington thanked him. The Sea Queen started northwnrd. She was wrecked In n fog. Stephens. De Nova, Lady Darlington nnd her maid being among those to set out In a life boat. Ten were rescued. Stephens saw only one chance In a thou sand for life. 1-ady Darlington confessed her love to Stephens nnd he did likewise. I.ndy Darlington told her life story; how she had been bartered for a title, her yeurnlng for absent love. She revealed herself as tho school chum of Stephens' sister. She expressed a wish to d'l In tho sea rather than frico her former friends nnd go back to the old life. A ship was sighted. The craft proved to be a derelict. They boarded her. 8ho was frozen .tight with hundteds of years of Ice. Tho ves sel was the Donna Isabel, lost In 1753. 128 years previous. The frozen bodies of tho former crew were removed. They rend the log of the Isabel, which told how the Spaniards had died from cold, ono by one. Lady Darlington sang to prevent the men from becoming moody. The crow commenced the hunt for treasure. They found the Iron chest, said to contain a part of 3,000,000 pesos, (Irmly Imbedded In Ice. Lady Darlington expressed tho belief thnt It would never benefit thu men, for she snld the Donna Isabel would nover reach port. The men got a lust for gold. CHAPTER XXVII Continued. "No, sir, but they'll bo thero." "Oh, yos, no doubt thuy'll bo thero, but tho only way wo could over got thom out would bo to run this hooker ashoro In somo mild climate and let tho tco melt. It's plain enough to soe what has happened. The Donna Isa bel sailed In ballast, these chests be ing about tho only cargo sho carried. They shifted In tho heavy seas, and tho Lord only knows where they are now. Anyway, thoy are safe beyond the reach of your lco cleavor." They stared Into each others' faces, tho dlsagreeablo truth slowly pone tratlng their minds. Kelly spoke, his volco trembling: "Then why tho hell, sir, couldn't wo do Just what you said?" "What! ru her ashore? simply bo cause, my Ind, that shore happons to be a thousand miles away, and I doubt If this wreck keeps afloat three dnys longer." Tholr oxcltcd faces told of Incredu lity, of a suspicion that I was playing with them, nnd I went on swiftly: "You fellowB hnvo been so crszy tho last two days you haven't thought of anything hut gold. I tell you It Is not tho treasure, hut our lives wo'vo got to savo. Tho lco Is pooling off thu sides, and tho ship is taking water like a sieve. Wo aro going to ho driven hack to the long-bout, and how much of this heavy stuff enn wo transport In her? I know It's mighty tough, lads, but we might as welt faco things as thoy are," I expected opposition, but not such a wild storm of curses and execrations as greeted theso words. All Bcnso of sea discipline vanished, oven De Nova Joining In tho outcry, I ronialnud, planted across tho box, waiting for the bedlam to ceaso, uncertain how I had best attompt to restoro them to their souses. Colo decided tho matter by rushing forward like an onraged bull, throwing mo aside with a heuvo Df his shoulder, the next Instant bury !np his hands In tho coins. That tho fellow was out of his head was evi dent okqueIi mad as a March huro - "Unless It's a Fight You Want, but I could not hesltnto becauso of that Thoso othersere on tho ergo; all thoy noeded for open revolt was leadership, example, and I caught- up a chair and laid the blubbering negro on tho deck, pleccs-of-elght flying in" every direction nB ho fell. "Unless It's a fight you want, stnnd back, tho wholo of you!" I threatened, tho broken chair still In my hands. "Wo mny bo ablo to tako this chest, or a part of It, with us, but thero Ib going to bo no moro digging done down below. Do Nova who aro you with In thlB row tho men or mo?" "By gar, It makes mo mad to glvo up all zat monies." "Well, get mad! you'll hnvo to glvo It up Just tho Bamo. Don't bo a fool, man. You enn seo this for yourself; you're a sullor; It would require a year to tunnel through that Ice with tho tools wo'vo got, and look nt tho hull under us. Why, you enn seo tho list of the dock oven hero In tho cabin, nnd tho feel of her whon sho drops In to a hollow Is enough to mako a sea man sick. Which Is worth most, mate, thoso yellow boys or tho little girl yonder?" Ho looked nt Coleste, white-faced, tho tearB staining her cheeks, her eyes glowing like two coals, and all the florco passion of resistance) seemed to desort his countenance. His glance dropped to the deck, returning to my faco. "By gar, If you put It zat way, mon sieur, zon I chooso tho lady, sure. Hut zo sing I want Is both of 'om." "No doubt; but you havo sense enough to reallzo that you can't hnvo both. So I count you with mo. Now, how about you, JohnBon?" Tho big, hairy seaman, sober-faced and gravo-oyed, glanced about on his mates and straightened up. "I'm hero to obey ordors, sir," ho snld slowly. "I've ullors been poor, an I reckon tho Lord don't moan me to over git rich." I held out my hand, deeply touched by tho sterling honesty of the roply. "You've got something worth moro than money, Hill, and that's manhood. You stand tho acid. Shnko hands, mate." Ho reHfondod awkwardly enough, having rccolved moro cuffs than pralso during his rough sea life, yet tho ex pression In tho mild blue eyos gave mo confidence that I had touched the right chord. I surveyed tho others McKnlght leaning on tho cleaver, red faced and scowling, Sanchez, Kelly nnd Dado back of him, tho negro still groaning on tho deck, "Dado, como hero," Tho follow Bliuf fled over toward me, ob splnoless as a Jelly-fish. "Now, Kelly, you nnd San chez lay Colo out In a bunk nnd dress his head. All ho needs Is n bandage and plenty of cold water. When you got done with that Job como on dock and I'll find you nnothor, McKnlght, drop thnt cleaver and como along with us." They did not like It; but with Do Novn, Johnson and Dado standing be hind niu, they realized tho uselessuoss i of revolt. Their hesitation and growl Stand Back, tho Whole of Youl" ing curseB Irritated mo nono the loss. . "Jump, ypu follows, unless you want. tho samo medicine Colo Just took." Tho two men lifted tho negro In their nrms und bore hint back to ono of tho stato-rooms aft. Kelly came out ngaln and rcturned( with a panni kin of wntcr. I bent down nnd closed tho lid of the chest. Tho flvo of ub tramped out on deck. It was, indeed, n rare day for that season of tho yenr and In thnt ocean, tho sky overhead pale blue nnd cloud less, tho wldo sen stirred merely by tho gentlest swell, tho slight breeze stendy, and baroly firm enough to hold tho rotten ennvns stiff. There was oven sufficient heat In tho Bun's rnys to moisten tho lco along tho decks whoro the chill of tho wind did not strike, nnd tho swoop of tho horizon oxtended further than wo had seen for Wfj'ks. Tho beauty of the day would havo put now henrt and llfo Into all of us but for tho miserable wreck under foot. Tho very glare of tho sunlight scorned to roveal with now vividness how closo the ond wan. Light as tho sea ran, tho Ico-lndon bow of tho Don na Isabel ploughed deoply under, every crest bursting In wlilto foam through tho break In tho port bul warks, tho list In tho dock so steep we mado our way forward with difficulty along tho slippery Biirfnco. Our rate of progress had hocomo so slow ns to leave only tho barest ripple In tho wnko, Clnmborlng over Into tho forochalns I pointed out to tho men how tho sea wns encronchlnp on tho bulging side. They Btared nt tho cvldonco gravely, each comprehending clearly tho dread meaning, yet no one spoko for n min ute. "I reckon you wns right, sir," ml mlttod JohnHon, llnnlly. "Tho old hook or Is goln' down." Do Novn peered along tho slippery dock, gleaming In tho sun, moodily, hut snld nothing until ho looked up nnd caught my eyes. "W'at you do, monsieur?" "I menn to hold on as long as It is, safe," I replied, "becaimo thecabln gives shelter to tho women. Wo all know what tho open boat means, and we'll put that oft until tho Inst posslblo mornont. Wo nro not mnklng much progress, it's truo; but still, ovory mile helpB, and, If this weather will only hold, tho wreck may keep afloat for sovorul dayB yot, but we'll get ovorythlng fixed for u quick depart ur." Kelly and Sanchoz appeared In tho cabin door, and I called to them lo Join us. "Now, lads, lot's make uso of what daylight wo'vo got loft. This weather is likely to chango any minute, Throe of you lowor thnt Jib, nnd got out tho cairvas belonging to tho long-boat Ploco tho Jib up with nny old1 Btuff you can find that will stand a light wind. De Nova, you tako charge of that Job. Dado, you'd bettor run back to tho tiller, nnd hold hor stondy us tho Jib co in os down. Johnson nnd I will seo that tho long-boat Is sound, stocked, nnd ready for launching." Wo mado a thorough Job of It, over hauling tho boat from stem to stern, nnd ending by rigging up block and tacklo for hoisting hor, whon loadod, ovor tho bulwarks. Wo lashed tho Donna Isabel's holm ngaln, and dis patched Dado Into tho cabin aftor nup- plies. Tho greater portion of tho stores brought from tho Sea Queen, moro especially tho canned goods, re mained lntnct, and wo packed theso nway snugly in tho storn lockers, add ing whatbver wo could find that re mained catablo among tho frozon storOB in tho lazaretto. Altogothor wo thus amassed a sufficient supply, Wo rolled tip nil tho extra hlankotn, shov ing them under tho sentB, and saw that serviceable spars and oars wore snfoly stowed and lashed. It was growing dusk boforo thoso matters hnd all boon attended to, and I flnnlly steppod out of tho boat, Tho mon woro masBod In a body on tho deck, and tho moment I saw thom I nndarstood thoy had been discussing tho situation. Do Novn spoko: "Monsieur," ho questioned, "how much In American monoy would bo In zo chest?" "I don't know, of course, hut Just for a guess, porhaps $100,000 maybo moro," "An zaro bo only zo ten of us. To divide It up make, maybo, ten t'ousand dollnr for each. Wns It not so?" "Why, yes, or oven moro than that, for I will chcorfully walvo my sharo, and can pledge thnt Lady Darlington will do tho samo. But what of It?" "Zat fino lot monies for sailor-man," ho Bald, eagerly. "An' w'y not havo It? Anyhow, w'y not try to savo It? Zo long-bont Is built to hoi' 25 peoples, an' we only ton. Zen w'y not tako zo gol'? It pnt not'lng, It drink not'ing, an' if It weight too much, zen wo t'row It overboard. But w'y not try carry it, zo hundred t'ousand dollar?" Thero was no good reason why wo bhouldn't; besides, tho very possibil ity of prosorvlng oven that sharo of tho troaBuro would prove an Inspir ation to tho mon. I looknd about Into their anxious faces, fooling mysolf somo monsuro of tholr oxcltomont "That will bo all right, lads," I Bald gladly. "You'vo earned It fair enough, and wo'H start with It anyhow. Tako tho stuff out of tho chest and tla it up In )blnnkota. Then we can stow it awny ovonly so as to keep tho boat bal anced. But," I added, as tho memory of what Doris had Raid carao to mo, "I think It only fair to toll you that Ira suro thero Is hnd luck in ovory peso of it." Tho men gnvo my croaking prophocy no second thought, but wont trotting nft, chattering togcthor llko n parcel of hoys. CHAPTER XXVIII. In Which the Donna Isabel Goes Down Tho following night and day passed quietly enough, tho wonthpr holding clear, hut with a mist slowly gather ing In tho south that seemed to threat en chango. I observed JuBt boforo sun- sot that this fog had so thickened nnd sproad as to obscure nearly n third of the sky, nnd yot there wns no voorlng of tho wind or nottceablo Incroase In tho roll of tho sea. Tho hulk was sinking, yet so slowly that wo woro only cortaln of tho fact through con stant measurements nnd tho sight of water seeping In through tho numor oub crnckB revealed by tho disap pearing lco. It wns a situation to got upon tho nerves, yot I do not remom her that It occasioned nny great chango in tho routlno of our llfo on board. (TO ni3 CONTINUED.) No, Dogl Roarod In tho strict school of "Yes, sir!" and "No, ma'am!" addrensod without thought of servility to all el ders und betters, I find this n season of rare courtesy nnd scant civility. Well do I remember that awosomo scone at my father's table when a stout and rebellious little sister, seothlng with disappointment ovor somo denied dainty, answered "No!" to n woll meant proffer of a less de sirable dish. "No, dog? or No, cat?" my father Inquired with ominous calm, "No, dog!" tho sturdy lass rocklossly re plied. I qttako oven now at tho thought of tho breathless pauso which followed, and draw a veil ovor tho painful after math. Apploton's. Well Answered. During, tho encampment of Bovernl regiments of British soldiers In a cer tain district tho wood and turf used for cooking purposes wore carted by tho neighboring farmers. Ono day a donkey-cart full of turf was brought In, tho driver bolug a country lad. As a regimental band was playing, ho stood In front of the donkey and hold tho animal tightly by tho head. Somo of tho "smart ones" gathered round, high y plcnaed, and tho wit of tho party asked why ho "hold Ills brothor so tightly." Tho reply was crushing "I'm afraid ho might enlist."
