We both sal. breathing hard from oir late exertions, listening anxiously, yet with vastly differing emotions, hope animating me that this was to prove a capture, or, at least, that some chance discovery by the officer visit ing us would result in the-release of the women below. Hut De Nova was m an agony of apprehension, the full peril of his position clear before him. Wo heard the bare feet of the hurry tag sailors patter along the deck, the strident voice or Tuttle issuing :t few final commands, and the faint sound of oars in the water alongside. The officer came slowly up the ladder, and my heart sank as I heard him laugh carelessly to the mate's greeting. I could distinguish the sound of his voice, but not the words utlered. and in some way it impressed me with the thought that the fellow was young, a midshipman, possibly, who would prove mere putty under Tuttle's ex pert handling. The two went down ihe companion-steps together in ap parently amiable conversation, and we could heard the low murmur of voices as the crew hung over the rail jesting with the men-o-war's men in the boat below. My eyes met De Nova's in the semi-darkness, and he grinned, showing his teeth. "Mossing ver' dangerous, monsieur." he said, easifo". "Ze ol' fox he fool zat kid." I attempted no response, my mind al ready sufficiently heavy from appre hension. Oh, for just a word, merely an opportu-'ty to cry out our story be fore it was forever too late! De No-a must have felt the struggle within me. tor he stretched his legs across the narrow passage leading to the door, and I saw his hand thrust into his coat pocket. Underneath his genial ve neer he was oue to act upon occasion, absolutely careless of the result. So I waited in silence, my teeth set hard, my hands clenched, as the last ves tige of hope oozed slowly out of me. They were scarcely ten minutes be low, coming up chatting in rare good fellowship, the officer clinging to the rail, his feet on the ladder, while he completed some story he had been relating with much gusto. Then we heard plainly the dip of oars, growing gradually fainter in the distance, feet pattered on the deck planks. Tuttle's voice sounded from the bridge, and the vessel began throbbing to the steady chug of the screws. We were safely under way again, pressing our sharp bow into the fog-bank. Unable o control mv weakness, I buried my ( face in my bands. I do not know how long we sat there motionless, De Nova staring blankly at the vapor sweeping past the win dow, and I with head lowered in de pressio?. It was Tuttle himself, uiih one arm in an improvised sung, who slid open the door of the charthouse and looked in upon us. "This is your watch yet, De Nova." he said, shortly, "and I need to doctor up my arm a bit You're a dam hard hitter. Mr. Stephens," no trace of an ger in his voice, "but that's about the last chance you'll have to kick up a shindy on this vessel. You'll go below, sir, an' stay there, unless we happen to need you." I stepped forth onto the open deck in obedience to his gesture. "Then I am no longer even in pre tended command, but merely your rrisoner." "Call it whatever suits you best."' he returned, grimly. "The result will be the same In any case. Well. De Nova, what are you waitin' for?" "I sink maybe you say w'at was it ze navy man wanted?" Tuttle's solemn countenance broke into the semblance of a grin. "Plug tobacco." he announced, suck ing his lips with sudden enjoyment of the joke. "Gave me the scare of my life, but that's all it amounted to. Hecn out cruisin for three months, an the crew ready to mutiny for smokin and chewin". Nice, sociable little chap they sent over, too." CHAPTER XIII. In Which We Sail Due South. As I sank down into the recesses of a cushioned chair in the cabin, my spirits at lowest ebb. 1 glanced up ai the telltale compass we were already headed due south. Those days ami nights following, while serving to bear us continually deeper into the immense expanse of water that concealed the mystery awaiting us in the great South sea, contained little of incident directly re lating to this narrative. Day following day that same wide circle of the sky came down to unite with the circle of the waters. It was almost as though we remained motionless, "a painted ship upon a painted ocean": only the figures on the paper. Use pins on the chart, the sharp stem cleaving the waves asunder, and the oily wake asteni leaving us aware of steady progression through this trackless desert of the sen. We passed somewhat to the west ward of Juan Fernandez, so far out that only with a glass from the foretop could the distant peaks be dimly deciphered in blue, misty blots against the sky. Already Tuttle had banked the fires, and spread the Sea Queen's canvas, reaching to the west ward to get the most possible out of the fresh breeze. The Sea Queen changed motive power and appearance as if by magic, the square yards hid ing the jauntiness of her keel, and concealing the rake of her masts, the white sails bellowing out before tho wind, sending her swooping forward through the water like a great bird. leaning over until at times her lee rail was all awash with white foam and her forward decks glistening with spume. Tuttle drove her recklessly, holding on in spite of crackling wood and sails threatening to tear loose from the bolt-eyes, taking shrewd advantage of each slant of wind, and lowering can vas only when danger was deadly. He had come into his own, he was at home, and the rejuvenated Sea Queen leaped forward at his will, as though endowed with fresh life. He seemed to understand her moods, her caprices. as though he bad sailed her in every sea, and I watched him test her. looa- rtrU-UTUXJiri-HJ-LriJTJTJTJTJXr """"""" aaa.aaaaaaaa Almost Deserved to Escape Truant's Quick Grasp of Opportunity Compels Admiration. . The absent-minded professor re turned home one night to learn that his son had played truant from school, and he was asked by his wife to hunt up the missing youngster and admin ister a sound thrashing. "Why, I'll flay him alive!" exclaimed the angry father. "I'll break every bone in his body! Just wait until I get htm out In the woodshed!"

As they I ening a Trope here, tightening another there, striving to discover her good and bad qualities, until my admiration for his seamanship almost overbal anced my growing detestation of him otherwise. Lady Darlington became positively afraid of him. dreading his approach, shrinking from his address, yet not dar ing to withdraw wholly from his pres ence. His sole topic of conversation was psychomancy. and every time she endeavored to lead him to some more pleasant subject he would return with dogmatic persistence to that one rath er dismal theme. His blatant self-conceit saved him from realizing her utter weariness, and he never seemed to tire of his own unctuous, nasal tones. Heavens, but the fellow was an insuf ferable bore. Celeste would slip away unobserved, bat her mistress and my self had no means of escape. I re mainc! quietly below for three days, and even then was not released by any forjnal word of mouth. I simply, became so tired of the senseless im prisonment that I mounted to the deck, taking I-ady Darlington with me, determined to be confined to the cabin no longer except by physical force. De Nova was upon tho bridge when we emerged from the companion, but he merely glanced at us curiously. Tut tle. coming aft a little later, retained sen.e enouuh to remain silent. The time days passed below had thrown me much into the society of both mis tress and maid, although the frank intimacy of that lirst conversation with I.ady Darlington was never re sumed. There seemed an intangible barrier of reserve between us, al though we talked freely enough re garding our situation, the peculiarities of Tattle, and the constantly changing wonders of the deep. It was as it neither of us quite dared to probe be neath the surface, opening up once more the depths each endeavored to conceal; rather were we content to drift as the tide ran. I saw comparatively little of De Nova, the second officer, during this period, and gained an impression that he was endeavoring to avoid meeting me. Yet I ran across him twice in company with Celeste, once in the cabin, and again in the narrow deck space overhanging the stern, and be gan to hope vaguely that the girl was winning him over to our interests. With the others I sought to approach I made no progress.

In Which De Nova Speaks. What now occurred came upon us w-th such suddenness that I find it difficult to relate the incidents in de tail. We must have been below the fiftieth degree of south latitude, and about 1S. degrees west, with the wind strong and occasionally puffing up into squalls, bearing flakes of snow which stung exposed flesh and left a thin mantle of white along the decks. It was Tuttle's watch below, and as I paused in the protection of the com panionway looking forward, while I got my pipe going. I could see De Nova on the bridge, wrapped up like a mummy, and crouching well down be hind the tarpaulins. AH about was a wild sea scene, never to be looked upon amid any other stretch of waters on the globe a dull, dead picture of utter desolation, of madly racing waves, of green, sullen sea, of pale blue sky, the very frost in the air ap parent; a cold, drear expanse of mo notonous distance wherever the eye looked .a desert of water below, a void of air above. Big Bill Anderson, his head still bound up where I had cracked him, slouched in the doorway of the charthouse, staring aft, and a moment later De Nova came lumber ing down the steps from the bridge and spoke with him for some earnest ly. The boatswain finally went for ward, clinging to a lifeline to keep footing on the slippery deck, and the second officer clawed along the weather-rail until he reached the companion.

The Jury brought in a verdict for $75 for the plaintiff, which, with the costs attached, made the judgment for $95.35. The prosecutor asked for a body ex ecution in supplementary proceedings. Judge Jones, to whom the petition was made, tried in every way to get out of granting the execution, because of the boy's age. He made careful search to find some authority by which he would have discretionary powers, and then he would have refused to Issue the execution, but he was unsuccessful.
