... - ... . . PLATTSMOUTH SEMI-WEEKLY JOURNAL. MONDAY, DECEMBER 22, 1913. PACE 3. A PERSON OF. SOME IMPORTANCE By LLOYD OSBOURNE Cepyrixbt. 191U hj the Bobb.-Merrffl Compaiy PROLOGUE. Lovers of Romance, attention I Here's a story you will like. It tells of mystery under the dreamy moon of the Pacific islands and of love in the shady lanes of New Englandand what more can a story reader want? The mystery, of course, is introduced early in the tale, and the 'love follows close after. Together they go hand in hand through the pages of the story, never parting com pany until the-final chapter. There the mystery departs, bat the love remains. You know, of course, about the author, Lloyd Osbourne. He, learned how to write in a worthy) school, for he is a stepson of Robert Louis Stevenson. And no greater story teller than the latter ever lived. CHAPTER XIV. A Startling Discovery. IL.S days hnd passed since the tug cast them off beyond the Golden Gate and with three toots of farewell left them to shift for themselves ten ' days of heavenly peace.- with tfe sails scarcely touched and rustling softly "before an unfailing breeze. In all there were seven men forward, who misht have been seven authors, from the assidu ous way they read grave, oldish m for the most part, always glued books under that tarpaulin in tl waist Flerman was the only youth among them tall, whltey-blond Fler man. who tried to make friends with the passengers till he was 6quelched by the mate. Schwartz, though less of a reader than Brandels or the others, very soon ran dry as a conversationalist, lie be came bottled up and uncommunicative, spending hours at a time In his cabin or walking up and down the poop in a brown study none dared to disturb. This was the only prerogative of a cap tain that be treated himself to. beyond taking hU place at the head of the ta ble. Mr. Brandels took all the obser vations, gave all the orders, shortened sail or ran nr kites without even co Ing through Le form of consulting "hl3 superior. He was the virtual com mander of the ship and made very little pretense that he was not. Matt noted that Schwartz stood no watch, but allowed his to be taken by the sec ond mate, a ponderous individual of sixty, with white side whiskers, who was called Krantz and berthed forward with the men. This familiarity between officers and men was new to Matt. Mr. Brandels was not above mixing with them un der the tarpaulin and adding his cigar and book to that sprawling circle Matt had to admit that the mate did not appear to lose caste In conse quence. On the contrary, he was treat ed with great respect, and Herman In particular never failed to spring up at his approach. The two Japanese. Yonlda. the stew ard, and Fusl. the cook, were not' be hindhand, either, as readers. An Indefinable suspicion was begin ning to creep into Matt's mind that there wps something wrong with the ship. The transformation of Schwartz from an amiable, talkative, friendly lit tle man Into the taciturn creature who paced the poop or wrote for hours in his cabin struck oddly on Matt's atten tion. The gruff mate was gruffer than ever and showed an Increasing disin clination to let Matt see the chart as the vessel's course was plotted from i day to day. And these white and whiskered patriarchs? Was It a float ing old men's home or what? The humorous view with which these things were at first regarded changed Imperceptibly as time wore on. Who was this strange Schwartz and this strange Brandels. and what had been the secret of the former's impulsive good will In San Francisco? Nothing now was heard of old south sea cap tains standing together. The n mazing face dawned on Matt that Schwartz was no seaman at all. but a landsman masquerading as the master of the ves sel. Was It possible that they were prisoners on this singular ship com fortable, well fed. politely treated pris oners? To Increase Matt's misgivings. Chris, who was a lighter sleeper than him self, had been hearing "noises' In the middle of the night She descriled them as "funny, snapping sounds" that commenced after Schwartz had passed their door and looked In. as though to assure himself that they were asleep She was so positive of this that Matt determined to stay awake one night and see and hear for himself. If It were fancy on Chris part the sooner she was undeceived the better, for she 1 was nervous and frightened and had i moments of passionately wishing they I haJEver. set -foot onthe EsmeraldjU l Midnight' struck eight Sells. Half after midnlgtt cue bell. One o'clock two bells. Half after 1 three bells. He grew drowsier and drowsier. Sud denly Chris clutched him. "lie's coming." she whispered. "Matt he's coming I heard the door. Matt held his breath. Schwartz was tiptoeing past their door. No, not past it for the man stopped on his way and cast a quick glance within. He was In his pajamas. Ills face was a study of furtiveness and caution. Then he tiptoed on and was seen no more. "Didn't I tell you?" murmured Chris. "In a moment the noises will begin." "Sh-h-h!" returned Matt "Sh-h !" It was more than a moment, how ver, before the quiet was disturbed. "There, there!" exclaimed Chris. A peculiar jarring sound became faintly audible, as though some ma chinery had been set in motion. But It was too irregular for machinery and had an indescribable thrilling quality that Matt was at a loss to ac count for. The cabin shivered with It It was as fine as the lash of a whip and as vicious, as it seemed to sting the air. Matt leaped from the bunk, despite Chris" entreaties. By George, he was going to see what was! Follow ScJiwr.rtz and And ont. It was an astonishing sight that met his gaze. Forward of the foremast was a sort of Lut constructed of mat tresses, forming a windbreak or shield, open only to the fo'castle. Within it, heated on a box, was Herman, bent over an apparatus and causing it by means of a small brass handle to emit that astounding buzzing as well as an incessant sputter of sparks and flash es. There was i:o listlo-ssness now in that gawky youth. His expression was keen; his hand moved the key with lightning precision; he had an unmistakable air of mastery and skill as of a man engaged in something ho evellpd in Wireless! Of course It was the wire less. Matt had read of it. but had nev er seen it before in action. Zi si zlzizizi zi zi-zi-zizizi! The brass lev er darted up and down, lingered and snapped amid a splutter of sparks and flashes; the captain, holding a sheaf of papers with his thumb, reeled off sen tence after sentence in a low. vibrant voice; the lantern light flickered over the yellow sheets, over Herman's bent head encased in a curious harness, over the gleaming apparatus. Occa sionally Schwartz was warned to stop. The machine no longer transmitting, would receive. Zi. zizL zi-zi-zi-zi with this time Herman repeating, word by word, the message thus mysteriously caught from space, while Schwartz listened darkly, with preoccupation, seeing the unseen, weighing and un derstanding what was being told him. Matt returned as he had come, more concerned than ever not to betray him self. The discovery had daunted him; he was in the grip of terror. He was so agitated that he could scarcely speak, as Chris, on guard at the door, shut it behind him and breathlessly asked what he had seen. "They're working a wireless appara tus," he answered. "Wireless. Matt! You don't mean a wireless telegraph?" "Yes. Herman's operating it, and Schwartz I sending messages." "You actually saw them?" "Yes. inside a lot of mattresses by the foremast to deaden the sound, o? III I jpISj It Wat an Astonishing Sight That (VUt His Gaze. course, and keep us from hearing. We're prisoners on this ship. Chrl3, they've kidnaped us." "But isu't that a terrible thing to do?" "For us yes." "But couldn't they all be punished and sent to prison?" "Possibly, if the Oregon ranged alongside. But where is your Ore gon? Chris, this whole ship and the whole crew must have been waiting for us in San Francisco, like a lot of spiders for two little flies. Tokelaus! We'll never see any Tokelaus. That was all part of the scheme to hood wink us to get us away." "But what could they want with us?" "Want with us! Why. they want John Mort!" "Oh. Matt!" "Yes. The same people who are running this ship are the same that drove me out of Manaswan. Bribing me failed, force failed, but they were cunning enough to know that rather than starve I'd double back t the is lands. So there was Schwartz all renri,- with hi ship and . hisblarney 'and" his" spider's fftn across" the road I was bound to take." "Why hasn't the captain tried to make you tell tried to force you to tell?" "That's coming. As sure as I am alive that's coming when we reach the people who are answering our wire less. There's trouble ahead. Chris." "Well, in that case, you'll simply have to take the only way out" "I'll never do that never." "But. Matt, they might Rather than have you hurt I'll tell everything myself.'.' "You shan't." "I will. Matt. I will!" "You don't know where this islnnd Is. You don't know the bearings. What could you tell them that they don't know?' She whispered something back that blanched his face. For a moment he was silent. It had never come to him that their deviltry might be turned against Chris. "I'll sink the ship first!" he cried. (To Be Continued ENTERTAINS THE "JOLLY SEVEN GLUE" from Friday's Daily.

Both sides on the debate handled their parts in an able manner and while the decision of the judges was in favor of the seniors, who appeared on the negative side of the question, the decision was very close and the defeated sophomores have cause to feel proud of the line showing they oadc and the manner in which th" debate was handled. The M'dsrs of the deba'e were Misses Xev.branch and Moore of tin: Hiah school faculty and Rev. J. H. Steer, who gave the seniors their decision by three points.
