the amateur tars was on watch. The
night was clear, and myriads of stars
twinkled in the sky, but there was no
moon. Suddenly the reserve sang out,
“Light ahoy!” “Where away?” asked
the officer of the deck. “Far, fa?
away,” replied the would-be man-of
war’s man. When the officer had re
covered from the shock occasioned by
this unseamanlike answer he looked
over the rail in the direction Indi
cated by the reserve’s finger, and
then he had another fit. “What’s the
matter with you?” growled the officer.
"Can’t you recognize the rising moon
when you see it?” “Moon! moon!”
stammered the embryo sea dog. “1
beg your pardon, sir!” Then he
shouted, as if making amends for his
error, “Moon ahoy!”

CHAPTER XIV—(Continued.)
He rang down the ordpr to the en
gine room and we raced straight ahead,
not a man uttering a sound, not a
light showing aboard us. Holding on
in defiance of prudence and respon
sibility, we drove the yacht into the
very shadows of the great unknown
ship we had tracked so far. To say
that we stood within an ace of de
struction would be to treat of our cir
cumstances light. A word amiss might
have destroyed us so utterly that not
a man of us all could have told the
tale. There, towering above us, was
the great hull of this floating mystery,
the massive outline of a vessel built
upon the lines of an Atlantic steamer,
yet carrying four masts and a funnel
so low that one might look twice to
detect it at all. Flashing lights from
stern to stern, we could almost count
the men upon the decks of this phan
tom of the high seas—men wearing all
varieties of dress, some the garb of
fashion, some that of ordinary work
men, a few in the uniform of sailors.
And what a hive of activity those decks
appeared to be! How the fellows were
running to and fro, changing their
positions every moment, taking their
stands now in the shroud, now' high
upon the fo'castle, an agitated, expect
ant throng, turning, as it were, one face
to the steamer which came to relieve
them, and by which news of their
safety or their danger might come.
Their very interest, however, became
our confidence. Taking my place with
the forward lookout, I conned every
feature of the great ship and im
pressed the facts of it upon my mem
ory. No thought of peril troubled me
now. ,
I scanned the decks, I say, as quietly
as one surveys a ship that must be
docked, noted the black shapes of the
veiled guns, the wretched, haphazard
armament amidships, the unsuitability
of the great hull to the purposes now
indicated, the seeming absence of all
order and method and even leadership
upon its decks. This monstrous, float
ing haven of crime and horror no
sailor had chosen it for its present
purpose I made sure. In a lighter mo
ment I could say that it had once been
a second class cruiser, and now stood
for a witness to an age which added
raking masts to its warships and eyed
askance the supremacy of steam. Im
roth, it might be, had purchased this
ship from a government that had no
further use for it. He had gone to
Chili or the Argentine—a second
thought said to Italy, for this vessel
had more than a smack of Italian de
sign and practice as we knew' it in
the last days of canvas and the first
of steel. And he had bought this relic
at his own price, had maintained its
engines, added new masts for disguise,
and so adapted it to that master
scheme whose aims rose so far above
this evidence of realization. All this, I
say, my swift survey showed me. But
the supreme question it did not answ'er.
There were women to be discerned up
on the deck of the ship; but not the
figure of Joan Fordibras. Of her the
night had no news to give me.
We lay at this time, I suppose, some
200 yards from the great ship, a little
astern of her, and ready, need it be
said, to bound away into the darkness
should the need arise. Our daring is
neither to be set down to courage nor
foolhardiness. It was pl*in that every
man on board Valentine Imroth’s
sanctuary had eyes but for the ap
proaching steamer, ears but for the
news it should carry. Absolutely con
vinced of our safety, we watched the
spectacle with that air of assurance
and self-content which any secret
agent of a good cause may assume at
the moment of his trumph. My own
doubt and trouble could hardly be
shared by the honest fellows about me;
or if it were shared, then had they the
good taste to make light of it. Indeed,
they were upon the point of persuading
me that if it were Joan Fordibras I
had come out to seek, then the sooner
I get me back to Europe the better.
"There's no Joan upon yonder ship,”
said old Timothy in a big whisper;
"I’d as soon look to find the Queen of
Sheba there."
"Indeed, sir," added Larry kindly, "I
do think Mr. McShanus is right. They'd
never take a lady among that riff-raff.
I don't see how it would serve them,
anyway. We must credit General For
dibras with some feelings, if the other
bus none. He’s taken Miss Joan to
by Marconlgram. Listen with me and '
you may follow the story. That Is the
first chapter of it.”
I pointed to the deck of the great j
ship, whence the figure of my little
Joan had disappeared as mysteriously
as it came, and there I showed to
Larry a group of men in earnest talk
with a newcomer from the steamer
which now lay almost alongside the
larger vessel. The quick movements,
the gestures of this company, betrayed
the curiosity which the stramger's
words awakened and the astonishment
that rightly followed upon it. Imagin
ing myself to be a spy among them,
I heard, in imagination, every word of
that fateful conversation. "We sent
no message.” "You’ve been fooled,
right enough.” “There's mischief
afloat.” “No, we had no accident—
what in thunder are you talking about
—it's a lie—!” So the new hand must
be telling the astonished crew. It need
ed no great prescience to say what
would follow after. Even Timothy Mc
Shanus arrived at it before I had fin
ished.
"Would that be Colin Ross gone
aboard?" he asked me, wheeling about
suddenly.
I told him it would hardly be an
other.
"Then he'll tell 'em the truth about
the cables, or I'm a liar.”
"He will tell them the truth about
the cables, and you are not a liar,
Timothy. He is doing so at this very
moment.”
"Faith, man, they’ll be firing shots
at us, then.”
"It is possible, Timothy. If you are
curious on the point—”
“Curious? Would ye have me in the
sea?”
"In the sea or out, I would have you
keep a cool head, Timothy. They are
going to fire at us, but that is not to
say that they are going to hit us. Our
turn comes after. Neither today nor
tomorrow may see the end of. it. I
am only beginning with them, Timothy.
When I have done, God help some of
them, Imroth above the others. Now
wait for it and see. Here's the lantern
busy. They are putting the story to
the proof, you will observe. Let us
hope tiiat their astonishment may not
be too much for them.”
So a commonplace chatter went, and
yet the mad intoxication of that in
terval of suspense had come upon us
all as a fever; and no man might
measure his words. There we were,
sagging in the trough of the seas some
300 yards it may be, from the great
ship's guns, our crew muttering in
hoarse whispers, the steam hissing
from our valves, the smoke drifting to
the north in a dense, suffocating cloud.
Aware of the few moments of grace
possible to us, we had given the word
down to Mr. Benson to go full speed
astern; and running thus for the half
of a mile, we then swung the yacht
round and headed due south at all
the speed of which we were capable.
Now, Indeed, the tense hour of our
doubt began. We counted the very
minutes until the beams of the mon
ster searchlight should ensnare us once
more. Brief exclamations, cheery words
of hope flashing from man to man,
gave passage to that current of hu
man electricity which burned us as a
flame. Would the light never fall? Aye,
yonder it strikes the sea, and yonder
and yonder compassing the horizon
around in a twinkling, a blind glory,
a very Pharos of the unknown world.
And now it falls full upon us, and
man can look upon the face of man
as though he stood beneath the sun of
day; and all is stillness, and silence,
and the unspoken question.
Far as we were away, a roar of tri
umph could be heard across the sea
when Imroth's ship discovered us and
the great beams of the searchlight rest
ed upon us exultingly. In turn, the
smoke from our funnel forbade us any
longer to locate the enemy, or to form
an opinion as to his movements. Cer
tainly, no gunshot followed immediate
ly upon his achievement; and when a
little gust of the south wind, veering
a point or two, carried the loom from
our furnaces away, we espied the two
ships drifting as before, and even boats
passing from one to the other. From
this time, moreover, the darkness failed
us somewhat, and a great moon tem
pered the ocean with its translucent
beams of silvery light. Our safety lay
in our speed. We burned the precious
coal without stint, since our very lives
were in the furnaces’ keeping.
■•Wlmt lrnotir. Hwim T •nn.„»__
IJirope, be sure of it."
I could make no answer, for my
jfcasoned opinion had that obstinate
dogmatism which must attend the
logical idea if logic be of any worth at
all. It were better, I thought, not to
discuss it, and for that matter, there
were events enough to take a man’s
mind from the graver doubts. The re
lief steamer had by now drawn so
near to tne other that loud cheers were
raised between them, boats put off in
hasie from the Diamond Ship, and
boats from the newcomer. We heard
greetings exchanged—in French, in
German, in Italian. Instantly almost,
a great business of making ready to
unload a cargo out there In mid-At
lantic began. I perceived that the two
ships were to be caught together by
immense grapplings. and so held while
the affair of discharging was done. Of
what the patrol’s cargo might be, I
could only surmise. She would bring
the invaluable coal, of course—else
could not the water be distilled aboard
the rogue—coal and food and news
and. it might bo, new' rufflians who had
escaped the Justice of Europe or Africa.
This, I say, was a surmise. The Im
mediate test of it my eyes carried no
further; for chancing to look again at
hazard toward the greater vessel, I
detected a solitary figure at the taff
rail and instantly recognized my little
Joan, standing apart from all that
rufflian crew', and looking wistfully
toward that very place where White
Wings lay In ambush on the waters.
And then I knew that I had done
well to dare this voyage, and that,
cost w’hat It might In blood or treas
ure. I would save this child from Im
roth and that which he had prepared
for her.
CHAPTER XV.
"Larry," I said to the captain, "they
will discover our presence inside 10
minutes, and we shall learn how they
can shoot. This is too easy a target
for my comfort. Let us back out while
we have the chance.”
Captain Larry, as intent upon the
spectacle of the strange ships as any
cabin boy. turned about quickly as a
man roused up from a dream.
"I was thinking of it before the
relief came alongside," said he: "the
steam blast may give us away any
minute, doctor. We lie right under
their stern, however, and that is some
thing. So long as they don’t send their
limelight whizzing—”
“That is exactly what they are about
to do, captain. They are going to look
around for the unknown ship which
has been sending them false messages
they waiting for?” I asked him pres
ently. He had deserted the bridge' and
stood aft with me to watch the distant
steamers. McShanus, meanwhile, paced
the decks like a lion at the hour of
feeding. It was his way of saying he
found the suspense intolerable.
"I don't think we shall have to wait
long, sir,” the captain answered me;
"you see, they would hardly be ready
to fire their guns, and not overmuch
discipline among them, I suppose. If
they hit us, it will be something by
way of an accident.”
“And yet one that might happen.
Larry. Well, here it comes, anyway!
And a wicked bad shot, I must say!”
It was odd that they should have
fired at the very moment I replied to
him, yet such was the fact and sucli
the coincidence. Scarcely had I opened
my mouth when a monstrous yellow
flame leaped out over the bows of the
Diamond Ship (which now had put
about to chase us), and, spreading it
self abroad upon the waters, left a
heavy cloud of black smoke very baf
fling to their gunners. As for the shell,
I know not to this day where it fell.
We heard neither explosion nor
splash, saw no spume or spray upon
the hither sea, and were, not a man of
us, a penny the worse for their en
deavor. A second attempt achieved no
better result. True, we detected the
shell this time, for It fell plump Into
the sea, near the fifth part of a mile
from our starboard quarters; but the
wretched shooting, the long Interval
between the shots, and the speed at
which we travelled inspired confidence
anew, and so surely, thut my men be
gan to cheer the gunners ironically,
and even to flash a signal to them
across the sea.
"It's as I thought, Larry," said I;
"they carry a gun and have no more
Idea how to use it than a ladv In
charge of a boarding school. Imroth
has been living us near to a fool's
paradise as such a man Is ever likely
to get to paradise at all. I think we
need waste no more coal. Let us 1V> to
and take our chances. The risk is too
small to think about.”
“Yon man would never hit cokernuts
at a fair!” chimed In McShanus, who
had come up; "what will ye be fling
over the ocean for? Is It coal we have
to steam to China and back? Sure, the
doether is wise entirely, and be hanged
to them! We lie here as safe as a babe
In a mother's lapl”
We laughed at his earnestness, but
the order was rung down nevertheless,
and presently the yacht luy rolling to
the swell and we could hear the stok
ers drawing a furnace below. Who Is
justly to blame for the ficctdent, which
followed. I uo not dare to tell myself.
Sometimes I have charged myself with
It, and complained bitterly of the opin
ions 1 had ventured. I can only tell you
that the yacht had scarcely slowed
down again when the rogues' ship fired
at us again, and the shot, crossing our
forward decks at an angle of some 6J
degrees, struck a fine young seaman
of the nam«t of Holland, and almost
annihilated him before our very eyea
The tragedy had a greater significance
because of the very mirth with which
we had but a moment before regard
ed Imroth’s gunners and their perform
ance. Death stood there upon the heels
of laughter; a cry In the night was
the answer to an honest man's defi
ance and my own bravado. As for poop
Holland, the shot took him about the
middle ani cut him absolutely In two.
He could have suffered no pain, so In
stantaneously wus he hurled Into etem
lty. One moment X saw him standing
at the bulwarks watching the distant
searchlight; at the next, there remained
but a dreadful something upon the
deck from which men turned their eyes
in horror an# dared not so much as
speak about.
The truth appalled the, men, drove
challenge from their lips and laughter
from their eyes. They were new men
thereafter—British seamen, handy-men,
who worked silently, methodically,
stubbornly, as such fellows ever will
when duty calls them.
■ Larry," I said, "the blame of that Is
upon me. Ood forgive my rashness!
I feel as though my own folly had cost
me the life of one of my own sons.”
Far away over the waters, tha
Diamond Ship still fired her Impotent
shells at us. Their very lmpotency con
vinced ine how surely an accident had
killed poor Holland.
Nor was the hour to pass without
further news of them. Impotent at the
guns, they fell to words, rnpped out by
our receiver so plainly that a very child
of telegraphy could have read them.
"The message of Valentine Imroth to
the Engllsman, Fabos. I take up your
challenge. Joan Fordlbras shall pay
your debts in full.”
I have It In my mind that It was Just
upon the stroke of 1 o’clock of the
morning, or two bells In the middle
watch, when this amazing message
came to me.
The men were sleeping, and why
should I awake them? Fallln, the
young officer, had but lltle news to re
port. The Diamond Ship no longer
wasted her shells in angry impotence.
Her searchlight had ceased to play
upon the moonlit waters. Such tidings
as came, were of a steamer’s mast
head light seen for an Instant upon our
port bow and then vanishing.
"It’s a usual course for tramps, sir,”
the young officer said; "and to tell you
tho truth, I wasn't sure enough about
It at all to wake the captain. If It were
a ship out of Buenos Ayres, she’s keep
ing more south than usual; but I’ve
altered the course for a star before
now, and you don’t care to wako up
such a seaman as'Captain Larry to tell
him you’ve done that. His orders to
me were to go down and report any
thing unusual. Well, a glimpse of a
ship’s light shouldn’t be unusual, and
that’s a fact.”
I agreed with him; young landsman
that I was, I thought that I could read
the omen better than he. If he had
seen the mast head light of a strange
steamer, she could be no other than
the second of the relief ships Imroth
was awaiting. Herein lay many and
disquieting possibilities. Given coal
and stores enough, what was there to
prevent the rogues i ittlng In to some
South American port, landing there
such plunder as they had, and dis
persing to the cities wherein their
friends would shelter them. I foresaw
Immediately a complete frustration of
my own plans and a conclusion of my
task, humiliating beyond relief. Not
Improbably that great hulk of a ship
sailed already under the colors of some
Irresponsible republic. She might, I
Judged, fly the Venezuelan flag, or that
of Honruras or Nicaragua.
This would be to say that the mes
sage still troubled me, and that I had
by no means come to a resolution
uoon It. Let It be admitted that It
found me a little wanting In courage.
I have written that the third officer
made hls report of a strange steamer
about two bells of tho middle watch.
Not less curious than he, I paced the
bridge with him until dawn, and heard
no further tidings. When Larry him
self turned out, it was Just before the
hour of sunrise, and we stood together
(MeShanus coming up from the saloon
with a welcome jorum of steaming
coffee) to see the break of day and to
scan the face of tho waters for any
confirmation of the young officer’s
story.
A daily scene, and yet how unchang
ingly sublime! Standing there upon
the bridge with my good friends about
me, It seemed that the glory of tho
morn shone full upon our faces and
bade us hope. No longer did the night
baffle our weary eyes. We sailed a
frilling sea at tho splendor of the day,
and far away upon tho clear horizon
we espied the relief ship of which our
third officer had spoken.
"No star sir, after all,” said he, "un
less, that Is, you would care to call
her a lucky star.”

PAINFUL FINGER NAILS CURED
"I have suffered from the same trou
ble (painful finger nails) at different
periods of my life. The first time of
Its occurrence, perhaps twenty-five
years ago, after trying home remedies i
without getting helped, I asked my
doctor to prescribe for me, but it was
not for a year or more that my nails
and fingers were well. The inflamma
tion and suppuration began at the
base of the finger nail. Sometimes it
was so painful that I had to use a
poultice to Induce suppuration. After
the pus was discharged the swelling
would- go down until the next period
of inflammation, possibly not more
than a week or two afterwards. These
frequent inflammations resulted in the
loss of the nail. I had sometimes as
many as three fingers in this state at
one time.
"Perhaps ten years later I began
again to Buffer from the same trouble.
Again I tried various remedies, among
them a prescription from a doctor of
a friend of mine, who had suffered
from a like trouble. This seemed to
help somewhat for a time, but it was
not a permanent cure; next tried a
prescription from my own doctor, but
this was so irritating to the sensitive,
diseased skin that I could not use it.
I began to use Cuticura Soap and
Ointment. I bad used the Cuticura
Ointment previously on my children's
ecalps with good effect. I did not use
the Soap exclusively, but I rubbed the
Cuticura Ointment Into the base of
the nail every night thoroughly, and
as often beside as I could. I had not
used it but a few weeks before my
nails were better, and in a short time
they were apparently well. There
was no more suppuration, nor inflam
mation, the nails grew out clean
again. One box of Cuticura Ointment
was all that I used in effecting a
cure." (Signed) Mrs. I. J. Horton,
Katonah, N. Y„ Apr. 13, 1910. On
Sept. 21, Mrs. Horton wrote: "I have
iiad no further return of the trouble ,
with my finger nails.”

Aids Nature
The greet auocess of Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Dis
covery in curing weak stomachs, wasted bodies, weak
lungs, and obstinate and lingering coughs, is based on
the recognition of the fundamental truth that “Golden
Medical Discovery” supplies Nature with body-build
ing, tissue-repairing, muscle-making materials, in con
densed and concentrated form. With this help Nature
supplies the necessary strength to the stomach to digest
food, build up the body and thereby throw off lingering
obstinate coughs. The “Discovery** re-establishes the
digestive and nutritive organs in sound health, purifies
and enriches the blood, and nourishes the nerves—in
short establishes sound vigorous health,
