Edwant Gerard Anstruth--r. and his Corsican brii'c. Marina, daughter of the Paolis. from the niur derouK -ndetta. underMandlne that liw reward in to, be the hand of the girl he loves. KiM Anstruther. sister of the Eng lish lieutenant. The four fly from AJac cio to Marseilles on board the French steamer Cunstantlne. The vendetta pur sues and as the quartet are about to board tlit 1 rain for London at Marseilles. Marina. 7s handed a mysterious note which causes her to collapse and necessi tates a postponement of the journey. Barnes Rets part of the mysterious note and tecfives letters which inform him that he is merked by the veDdetta. He employs an American detective and plans to beat the vendetta at their own game. Kor the purpose of securing the safety of the women Barnes arranges to have I-adv Chartris lease a secluded villa at Xiee to which the party Is to be taken in a yat lit. Suspicion is created that Marina is in league with the Corsicans. A man. Ix-lioved to be Corregio Danella. is ."seen pacing the house and Marina Is thought to have given him a sign. Ma rina refuses to explain to Barnes which fact adds to Ids latent suspicions. Barnes plans for the safety of the party are learned bv the Corsicans. The carriage crrj ing their party to the local landing is followed by two. men. One of the horseman Is supposed to be Corregio. They try to murder the American. The cook on' the yacht a Frenchman is sus pected of complicity in tlieplot. CHAPTER IV. Continued. "You can wager your grog mosey. Barnes, you'd be happier. if you'd spliced before taking this cruise," ob serves Jlnstmther. sotto voce to his friend. "You'd hav a bride with you, like me. Nowno danger of pirates hoarding us. Marina and-1 can forget care for a few days in in love:'" "You mav, I cannot," remarks Bur ton. grimly. " ' "Ah, Enid's a. little offish, is she? Won't come up even- and say good nigh'l." grins ,thc sailor. "Didn't like your not accepting what was offered you, en? When you get a chance take it. my hearty, especially with girls. Now if you'd hunted np the minister, as I recommended to-day. you wouldn't have to stow yourself away on the cabin settee to-night" This sea-dog suggestion is so dis quieting that poor Burton paces the deck and sighs. The boat has now returned, and as the men scramble on deck. Edwin de mands: ""Did yon put your passenger -on shore at Baadol?" "Aye. aye, sir, but the loon went up the dock as cautious as if he feared land sharks." This revives in Barnes mind Em ory's warning. "Suspect everybody!" The vessel is soon under way again. He paces the deck smoking his cigar and thinking: "No one can board as in all probability unobserved. We are safe here with the Scotch crew and the Scotch mate." Suddenly the cigar drops from Barnes' Angers; with a star he mutters to himself: "By heaven, no Scotchman ever concocted that filet mignon aad that creme d'as nerge. There's one man on this boat I must keep ray eye upon." "Thinking of land sharks." laughs Anstruther, slapping him on the back. "No," answers -Barnes, shortly. "I -was meditating on our French cook!" CHAPTER V. -For the Lave of Heaven Oan't Kill tn Cos!" To this rather astonishing announce ment the young English naval officer -says: "By Jove, the beggar did gie tis a good dinner." "Too good!" remarks Barnes, gloom ily. "You wouldn't say that." replies Ed win, "if you had been knocking round the orient on wardroom commons for the last year. What do you mean by "too good? No cook is too good." "And yet I'd feel easier." is Burton's comment, "if the fellow had given us lob-scouse, plum-duff, roast beef and dishes a plain Johnny Bull cook would have been apt to concoct. I don't pro pose to blindly trust anyone with for eign associations. They may be all right, aad they may not. So I'm going to investigate this fellow." "If you find anything suspicious about him," replies Anstruther. grimly. "I'll put him ashore if he can make salt horse taste like broiled chicken." Acting on this, by a few deft ques tions to the members of the watch on deck, Barnes discovers that the nauti cal chefs name is Felir Leboeuf. "That's as 1 twang it'reniarks Gillie, who is standing at the wheel giving him the information. "Coswhite, Mr. .lamieson's regular cook: went along with him to the auld country, and this chiel only come aboard to-day to take his place i' the galley." "Hum, a new arrival?" "Aye, sir, and the men dinna like liim o'er muckle. Tbae loon puts gar lic i th lob-scouse." At this Barnes laughs slightly, strolls forward and. takes a look into the cook's galley. The fires are out and the regular snoring that issues from it shows the Frenchman is asleep upon his cook chest- "I don't think I'll trou ble him to-night," sleepily thinks the American, hesitating to disturb the rest-of an artist who had. given him such a dinner, "but to-morrow morn ing 111 have a chat with Monsieur of the dishpans." X The nest morning the sun rises brightly on the Mediterranean; its waves are silver. The yacht's course during the night has placed the little pleasure craft well out upon the open sea, Corsica to the southeast of her. Apparently, the night's rest has in creased the ladies vivacity and the certainty of no danger being near them has improved their spirits. "Everybody hungry, I hope!" cries Barnes cheerfully, notwithstanding his greeting from his fiancee' has been rather formal as they sit down to a delightful breakfast sent in by the artist of the galley and served by the Scotch steward. , Apparently the pleasant meal pro daces almost frivolity in Miss An stiather; 'he cries enthusiastically: "And -coffee with the aroma of Mocha, ---x cante v&fr: tear '&cv.uz and this omelette worthy of the Maison Bore! I feel as if I were in Paris. We have a great man in the galley, my brother." "Yes, the fellow forward could put appetite into anyone," assents Barnes, assisting Edwin to do duty on the beefsteak. "If we could arrange that we run about from one little harbor to an other. I think the cruise could be made quite enjoyable,'; remarks-Enid, strag gling to be vivacious, but, catching an abrupt gleam of passion in her be trothed's face, her eyes that might even now have been his bride's eyes, grow suddenly haughty, though the young lady's fair lips emit some hid den sighs as she attempts the re mainder of her breakfast. Some little time after, chancing to glance up" from his work with his knife, the sailor husband stays his eat ing as he places honeymoon eyes upon his bride. For Marina is asking ner vously: "Any signs of pursuit during the night?" "Pursuit?" sneers the tar. "Do you think our friend Cipriano Danella has a couple of revenue cutters in commis sion to ran us down? The Seagull is quick enough to show her heels to most sailing craft Besides, how can he tell what coarse we've taken? On the water we are safe. When we land the climax of this affair begins." Then the sailor suddenly exclaims: "My heavens, what's the matter, dear one?" for at her husband's last sugges- "Suspect Everybody!" lion. Marina, though she utters nol word, has grown of a sickly pallor. "Nothing." stammers the bride, hid ing her face from his glance by pick ing up her table implements, "only I am not a very good sailor, therefore this delightful cuisine has no charm for me." As the young Corsican lad' rises from the table the English girl gets up also; she seems to be anxious to end her contiguity to a betrothed whose reproachful glances at her cold and rather haughty face have grown em barrassing. "Would that I dared to take. Marina over the surges of the Atlantic to Eng land." mutters the young husband, moodily, as Enid and his spouse disap pear into their staterooms. About this time the mate. Mr. Gra ham, puts his head down the conipan ionway and announces that Frenchy, the cook, is -jabbering for something that none of them can make out some folderol or other for his work. This gives Barnes the opportunlty that'he wishes of examining the only foreigner on board. He steps up the companion ladder and strolls forward. Monsieur Leboeuf, a dapper little Frenchman in immaculate white apron and cook's cap, his moustache, bris tling ferociously aad his black" eyes blazing, is savagely smoking a cigar outsMe hs, galley. Barnes offers him a cigarette and thanks him for the two delightful meals he has furnished them. . "Ah, you speak a little French," cries the little Gaul. "Cest mag nifique! Not a man understands ven I demand ze implements of my art" "But you have been on English yachts before?" remarks the Ameri can, diplomatically. "Mais,: oiii, vith my Lord Edgarton and vith Monsieur Ogflvie ze Scotch. They had ze big. steamboats. Their stewards spoke aeJanjoage of la belle France. But on zis leetle vessel no one understandsven from semj de mand ze proper inemeate pfjmprb fession. so at once f KusV'be-pit on shore to buy une conloire. If ifis not to me. I cannot steam the ponding a rAncais, my masterpiece."

"All right, yon want some holes in a tin pan:" The pistol shot steps Into the galley. "Will this one do?" A moment after he has climbed out and hung it on the end of the main boom which runs well out over the stern of the schooner. Producing his revolver aad standing amldahlp, the American calm, out to the. ladies below not'to he frightened at the reports-aa he is going in for pistol practice. Then he makes the tin pan his target and very shortly the Frenchman is scream ing iaastonishmeat:r"Diabie'anartistr vith se shoot!' Sacre bleu, my Initials. F. L.. in round holes all in ze bottom." "Might as well keep my hand in." thinks lir Barnes, and forthwith gives an exhibition of marksmanship that causes the crew to cheer. He smashes bottles flung helter skelter in the air by the Jack-tars and puts bullets through potatoes tossed on high. Finally he tacks a playing card on the tip of the bowsprit and shoots the spots oat of It "This will be a warning to this dish pan artist; who Isthe only man of the crew of " whom I feel a 'doubt, not to make me shoot at him," cogitates the marksman, grimly. But his exploits with the pistol seem to enthuse the Frenchman, rather than dismay him. In his excited Latin way,, Leboeuf shouts" louder than anyone on deck and fairly screams with Gallic enthusiasm as Barnes winds up by placing a card on edge and splitting it with his unerring bullet Later on Monsieur Leboeuf sets Mr. Barnes to thinking again. He makes his appearance and demands deter minedly that the yacht anchor off some landing 'where they can obtain! fresh ice. "Nonsense!" dissents the American. "Emory told me enough was pat on board yesterday to last for several days." "Then Monsieur has been robbed by ze ice-man," answers the Frenchman. "If Monsieur vil observe," he leads the way to his galley, which connects with the vessel's ice-chest Opening this. Lingers in His Mind. he remarks: "Ze cold -storage, it baa all run out. Ver is It? Gone! Voila, not enough- for ices-ce-aoir; not enough to frappe ze champagne; not enough to preserve ze legumes aad ze beurre." Barnes discovers that what Leboeuf tells him is correct Daring this hot weather ice is absolutely an essential. After a short consultation with Edwin, Anstruther grumblingly sets the Sea gull's course for the French coast Three hours before sunset they an chor in the little harbor of St Tropez. Looking at the retired old French sea port. Edwin remarks: "I don't think there's much danger of these Corsican assassins discovering us in this out-of-the-way place for a few hours." 'and sends the dingy on shore carrying Monsieur Leboeuf and directing him to make the necessary purchases and bring them off at once. "We'll keep the Jadies safe on board, and no shore boats shall come along side," says the skipper. ITO BE CONTINUED.) Gifantic Potatoes. Big potatoes which weigh as much as a man are not often seen. A small consignment of them, however, has just been sent off from the West In dies. - There were just i six potatoes, and each was large enough to feed a big family. Tarn is the popular name applied to this variety of giant.sweet potato. The tubers usually attain a length of three feet and an average weight of 30 pouads. Tama weighing from 100 to 150 pounds, however, are by.no means uncommon in the West Indies and other paints of the -tropics where they thrive.' In appearance the yams look much like the, ordinary po tatoes on a greatly enlarged, .scale. They" are black or brown externally and pale, within, and are rich in starch.
