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

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

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.

BATE AT THE HIGH

from SaturJay's Dally.
Ine debate yesterday afternoon
at the High school between the
embers of the senior American
History class and the sophomore

Woman Suffrage," attracted a
great deal of attention and the
school auditorium was crowded
with many visitors eager to hear
the young men and women handle
I his question, which is becoming
such a vital one in this country.
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.

decision by three points. The
