"Socks," who was dripping with wa
fter and chattering with frlglit, but
entirely subdued.
"Xou uro a mascot, nil ritrht.
'Socks,' old boy!" said Vincent, as lie
loosened the chnin ho that the
monkey would not choke to death.
""This beats climbing trees, doesn't
UtV"
Afr. Carpiody and tho others made
sin examination of the hull of tho
Hoat. Tho strain had caused a slight
ucnk in tho third compartment, but
-they had no difficulty In stopping It.
Inc. kitchen was somewhat dlsnr-
rang6d and a number of .dishes
broken, but tho (1 mini go was not serl
ons. "The Jumping Jupiter" had
successfully withstood its baptism
,and thus far had justified tho hopes
or tno bimucrs.
For half nn hour Sidney held his
-courso (straight out to sea. Then he
headed to tho north. The big lateen
!BaiIH were pulling splendidly, nnd
enough tho craft responded slowly
to th6 tiller, there was no trouble
In holding her to tho course. They
now nau a clear view of the coast.
"Where is the gateway V" naked
Mr. Carmody, who had been looking
mtenny a long tho shore for some
titno. "I cannbt see it."
"t can see It," replied Sidney, "but
JC would never suspect It was an in
Ret unless I know It to bo a fact,
From any point at sea tho rocks look
Kolld and continuous. The gateway
is just south of our flagstaff. Do
.you. see t now?"
It was as Sidney snid. The const
'was ho formed that no inlet showed,
iralf n mile from shore there was
mothiug to distinguish the entrnnco
to the bay from a scoro of ragged
indentations in tho black cliffs. As
they proceeded they camo to the
ridge of rocks which formed tho
north horn of the crescent, Thl"
they imagined to mark the north
houndary of the Island, but us they
neurcd It thoy found It was but the
outh end of a bay which seemed to
he 12 or 15 miles across.
' "This is a pretty good-sized Island,
Hammond," remarked Mr. Kent, as
this new pnnoruma spread out be
fore their view.
There was a puzzled expression on
Sidney's face. As Mr. Kent spoke,
the massive outlines of tho snow
white peak, which had been seen
from tho island, slowly came Into
view above tho hills along tho coast.
The land now opposite them was low
and fairly flat. Tho big rock on t heli
port side was seen to bo tho end of
m spur of small mountains which
cume down to tho ocean.
"I do not understand It," said Sld
incy. "There is no such island as this
m .any of our maps? Where can wo
he? This island Is at least 40 miles
ong and perhaps longer. That must
be tho northern end of It."
Sidney pointed to tho cape per
haps 15 miles away., Jt was now two
o'clock- la tho afternoon, uud Mr.
Kopkwcll and vjreent announced that
dinner was ready. They stretched
an awning over the afterdeck and set
a table beneath It. Sidney lashed tho
tiller in position and all proceeded to
enjoy the repast. A haze was steal
ing over the ocean nnd the wind dy
ing out. Tor a time "Tho Jumping
Jupiter" hod been making four or
Ave miles an hour, but the breeze, as
It came heavy with perfume from the
shore died down until it was barely
strong enough to straighten out tho
striped sails.
"Well, Copt. Hammond, what do
you think of it?" asked Mr. Morion
"I DO NOT UNDERSTAND IT," SAID
SfDNKY.
as lie lit a cigar and leaned back in
his choir.
"There is but one thing to do," sold
Sidney. "We must keep on this
course until we round thut cape. At
this rate It will be dark before we
make it. Wo will stand well out to
sea, so as to have plenty of leeway
in case or an cast or northeast wind.'
Tho big mountain peak was now
almost exactly to the west of them.
"If that is old Popocatepetl, as I
think It Is," said Sidney, pointing
at tno nugo purple mass, "Vera Cruz
Is only a little northwest of here
When It gets dark I will hold her
north, nnd toko no chances of run
ning ashore on this Island."
As the afternoon wore away, the
haze settled and slowly blotted out
the shore line. They crawled along
at nanny two knots an hour. It was
exasperating progress, but there was
no help for It. In the evening the
haze lifted and showed the cape still
In the northwest. This proved that
the tide was pulling against them.
the wind died away to a breath,, and
the sun sank, a huge red ball of flro
in a bank of ornngCclouds. At ten
o'clock- the wind swung into the
southeast and freshened, but the haze
yet hung over tho sea, and Sidney
hem his course to the north.
All but Sidney nnd Mr. Kent retired
to tho bunks and slept soundly as
if on an ocean liner. Save for the
bank of fog, it was a perfect night
on the water. The raft swayed gent
ly to the deep breathing of the sen.
and the masts groaned In musical
cadence to tho rippling of the water
At midnight Mr Kent took tho tiller,
and Sidney stretched himself on a
steamer chair and enjoyed two hours
of untroubled slumber. He awoke
and relieved Mr. Kent, who then took
ids nap.
Twice during the night Sidney
turned tho boat to the west, and
held that course until tho hollow
thunder of the -surf warned him to
stand out. At about three o'clock
tho breeze quickened, and a 20-mile
breeze sprang up, coming straight
irom tho west. This compelled him
to cease any more landward experi
ments, and "The Jumping Jupiter"
rolled nlong at a ilve-mlle-an-hour
rate.
"It is satisfaction to know that we
are going somewhere," said Sidney
to himself. "Wo must bo pnst the
cape by this time. If the fog lifts
with this breeze, daylight will show
where we are."
As he spoke there was n faint glow
n tho eastern sky. Mr. Kent awoke
with a yawn.
"Where are we at?" lie asked.
Sidney shook his head.
We are headed north," lie said.
CITAPTEIi XX II I.
Til 13 RESCUE.
Representatives of tho New York
Record watched every Kuropeun port
for the arrival of Walter R. Ilcstor
and tho steam yacht "Shark." Ac
cording to all calculations, tho yacht
was duo at tho Azores not laer than
May l!Jth, but no word camo from
these islands. Day succeeded day
with no news of tho famous million
aire correspondent.
Jn the meantime the detective
staff of 40 picked newspaper men
tinder Jock Stevens was indomitable
zeal but barren in results. Mr.
Chalmers was steadily losing faith,
but by no word or action did he dis
close his loss of confidence to Miss
Carmody. Ho prepared the leader
for on nrtielo to bo published in
Tho Record on Wednesday, May 17th.
n which was set forth tho discover
es which had been mndo pointing to
Hestor as tho prime mover In the
conspiracy. This was In keeping
with his promise to Miss Carmody.
In tho meantime Editor Vn
iad sailed for New York, but was not
due untilthe 22d or 23d of tho month.
In a cipher cablegram Chalmers had
given Jiis superior tho essential facts
concerning Hcstor. The reply of
Robert Vnn Ilorno was nromnt ant
decisive in instructing Chalmers to
make public the facts. The inference
was plain that Mr. Van Home had
no hesitancy in shoring his manag
ing editor's suspicions. Mr. Chalmers
therefore prepared a four-page art!
ele, and awaited for the day ilxed for
the disclosure.
Miss Carmody ordered the steam
yacht bearing her name put in com
mission, and her contain announced
that lie was ready to weigh anchor
on nn hour's notice.
At three o'clock Tuesday afternoon
a cablegram was handed to Mr. Cliol
mors. It was In the cipher which had
been given to the reporters working
on tho mystery. Translated it reud
as follows:
"Havana, Cuba, Tuesday, May 16. To
William Chnlmcrs, Now York Itedord:
nave solved mystery. Col. John Mcln
tyre, of Havana, built Heator bungalow
year ago. Hcstor designed It. Located
nine hundred mllea southwest of Havana,

"BERNARD SEYMOUR.
'lEnvoy Extraordinary."
Chnlmers dashed into Jack Stevens'
room with the cablegram.
"Can we rely on that?" asked Mr.
Chalmers. "Seymour was deceived
once. He may be wrong ngaln.
mint do you think?"
"I think ho has found our man!"
said Stevens without a moment's
hesitation. "That cable sounds liko
business. It explains Seymour's si
lence. He is the luckiest reporter in
the country. I would stake my life
no is right."
"Wo will" take tho chance," said
Chalmers. ''Do not say a word. We
will leave for Havana to-night. Be
ready to start at seven o'clock. You
will go by rail."
Chalmers issued a few instructions
m ins assistant, ana hurriedly ex
plained what had happened. A few
minutes later he was on his way to
tho Carmody mansion, having first
ascertained that Miss Helen was at
home. In a few words lie cxplulned
1 A 1 1 1 . n.
wimi jiau nnppencu. ine young
neiress was radiant with joy.
"I knew you would find them!" Bhc
exclaimed. "From the moment you
said we could not fail, I was sure of
success! Oh, isn't it splendid! I
could cry for joy!"
"This is no time to cry," said the
practical Mr. Chalmers. "Wo must
start for Havana at once. How soon
can you bp ready?"
"I can be ready in on hour," said
Miss Carmody. "Mrs. Wliito is here.
She is going with me. Can you ero.
Mr. Chalmers?"
"Certainly I can go," said that gen
tleman. "You did not intend to leave
me behind, did you?"
"Why of course not." sold Miss
Carmody, "but I am so excited I do
not know what I am saying. Will
Mr Stevens go with us?"
"He will go by roil nnd boat, and
we will meet him" in Havana," said
Chalmers. "You had better send
word to your captain at once. Tell
him I will be on tho yacht by seven
o clock. Please worn him to keep
the destination a secret. Do not for
got to take along lots of wraps; it
may be cold on the ocean."
Chalmers returned to his office,
and for an hour was busy with in
structions to his assistants. Ho is
sued orders that Tho Record should
give no hints of pending develop
ments, and selected a special cipher
to cover new possibilities. He then
proceeded to the pier and boarded tho
yacht. Miss Carmody and Mrs. Isabel
White had arrived, and the latter was
n a flutter of excitement. The yacht
swung on her keel nnd headed down
the East River and out into the bay.
Refore twilight had faded, the "Hel
en Carmody" was well out to sea and
making for Havana with u "bone in
her teeth."
Tho ''Helen Carmody" was a fine
specimen of marino architecture. She
was fitted with every convenience
and luxury. She was larger than
the "Shark," having more Staterooms
and more powerful engines. While
more comfortable and stauncher.
she was not so fast as tho "Shark."
Mr. Carmody had sacrificed speed
for room and artistic effect, yet there
were few yachts that could show a
wake to the "Helen Carmodv"
It was late Saturday afternoon
when the frowning heights of Morro
castle were seen across tho waters.
and it was nearly midnight when they
dropped anchor in the harbor of Ha
vana. It, was decided to remain nn
tho yncht until morning, so the
'Helen Carmody" lay within easy dis
tance of the shore.
Sunday morning a yawl nut out
from the Havana docks. It had as
lassenger a small man with a
'sandy" moustache, and hair which
could be classed under.no other color
than red. Ho sat straight and looked
dignified. Ho wore a natty suit of
gray, with a largo carnation in the
opel of his coat. This was an im
portant event in the life of Mr. Rcr-
nnrd Seymour, but lie felt equal to
the occasion. There was a subdued
twinklo in his blue eyes, which no
assumption of dignity could entirely
offset, lit critically watchetf tho
perspiring Cuban at the oars. Then
he looked at the "Helen Carmody."
Tho yawl come alongside tho brass-
railed gangway.
Copt. Baldwin, of tho "Helen Car-
mody" stood at the head of the
gangway. Mr. Bernard Seymour sn-
luted him with an impressive gesture.
"flood morning. Cantoln!"
Ccpt. Baldwin bowed but said noth-
lng.
"I nm Bernard Seymour snoMi
Mr. Seymour. "Present my card and
my compliments to Miss Carmody und
Mr. Chnlmers."
. .
iome nnonru, Mr beymotir," said
Cnpt. Baldwin. "I am glad to meet
you."
"Ah,
is tills Seymour?" snid Mr.
Chalmers, who now appeared.
"Glad to moet you, old man. Accept
my congratulations. I hopo you are
not mistaken in your man."
"I never make but one mistake on
tho snmc case," said Seymour, shak
ing hands cordially with the manag
ing editor. "When can 1 pay my re
spects to Miss Carmody?"
"Here she comes now," said Chal
mers. Miss Carmody camo forward
radiant in a yachting costume of whito
broadcloth, trimmed with gold braid.
"I have the pleasure of presenting
Mr. Bernard Seymour," said Mr.
Chalmers.
"I am delighted to meet you, Mr.
Seymour," said Miss Helen as sho
extended her bond. "I have heard so
much of you It seems ns if I
knew you. I am glad to welcome
you aboard the yacht."
Mr Bernard Seymour bowed nro-
foundly. He had framed a speech.
but it had eluded him. He felt thnt
ho must say something.
lou can't lose me. I am glad to
meet you, Miss Carmody. The pleas
ure is all mine."
There was a twinklo in
his
eyo
charming than ever. She took Mr
Seymour in charge, and induced him
to tell the story of how he came to
solve the mystery of the Hcstor
bungalow. Mr. Chalmers listened to
Mr. Seymour's carefully prepared
narrative.
"When I received Mr. Chalmer'a
telegraphic advices," said Mr. Sey
mour, "I made up my mind that the
first place to search was along tho
umoer clocks. I thought it all over.
and said to myself, it is like this:
If Hestor has built a house in trop
ical Ameriou tho lumber probably
came from Now Orleans, which Is
tho great lumber market of tho
south. Tho contractor might hail
from any place, but naturally ho
would ship his material from New
Orleans. It was nearly dark when I
arrived in the city. I went to tho
lotcl, looked at my mail, nnd went
from there to the docks. I questioned
stevedores, dock-wallopers, sailors
and levee men of all descriptions. I
went nnaily to a resort frequented
by such men. There were probably
50 of them in the room. I picked out
a smooth-looking colored boy nnd
told him I would give him $5 if he
would nsk every man present if ho
ever helped load lumber for a man
named Walter B. Hestor. I told him
all about Hestor; that ho was a news
paper man who owned n yacht called
the 'Shark,' and that ho was eccen
tric, and liberal with his monov.
'Ho was a bright coon," said the
veracious Air. Seymour, "and he
wanted to earn that money in a hur
ry. He got on top of u beer keg
and made a speech. Once in a while
:ie would misstate a point, and I
would correct him. When he was
through a darkey, with a face as
black as the oco of spades came for
ward and asked me how much I
would give to know what boat that
umber was shipped on. I did not
want to appear too anxious, so I of
fered him $2. We went to one side,
and he told me that about a year ago
a man arrived in New Orleans with a
yacht called the 'Shark,' and that the j
owner superintended the loading of a j
lot of lumber, doors, windows nnd
stuff on a schooner called the 'Sam
Walker.' He described Hestor to a
dot. ne said Hestor's chief amuse
ment was to throw money to tho ne
groes along the levee to induce them
to sing nnd dance. Ho would stand
on the 'Sam Walker' and throw coins
by tho hour, until the levee was
block with darkies. I knew he had
tho right man. I gavo him tho $2
and promised him $10 more if ho
would locate tho 'Sam Walker' for
me. At about midnight wo found
that the schooner was at Lake Pont
chnrtraln, and was going to sail the
next morning. I paid my colored
friend nnd started for the 'Wes.t End.'
I found the 'Sam Walker.' I wanted
to get the Information without excit
ing suspicion. I learned that the
first mate was ashore In some of tho
drinking resorts of tho place. Then
I ran across n friend of mine who
was much intoxicated. I used him ns'
n tool. Early In the morning 1 found
tho first mate. From him I learned
that tho schooner was going to Ha
vana. Ho was pretty full, nnd I bribed
him to let me go nboard the schoon
er. There was no way to shako my
friend, whoso name Is Bender, so wo
took him along.
