He picked it up, tore it into minute shreds, searched ' caretully sure there were no other wayward scraps, and then started slowly back along the veranda to rejoin Polly Wickes. His mind seemed in confusion, co- herence smothered in a multitude of thoughts that impunged one upon the other, each vociferating its right to sole_consideration. There was New- combe and that smoking-room scene on the liner, and a letter advising about a half-million dollars, and a madman, and—no—there was some- thing else, something that was grad- ually gaining priority over the rest. Yes—Polly Wickes! Well, Polly Wickes, then * * * a flower girl in Lon- don **'*a lady four years later in Drawing a letter from his pocket he read it slowly, carefully, almost as though he were memorizing it.

Unconseiously he had almost reached the door leading into the lounging room of the boat- house. Polly Wickes was talking to some one—to whoever it was, of course, whose arrival at the boathouse had frightened old Mr. Martin away a few minutes ago. ,Ah yes New- combe! That was Newcombe laugh- ing_now. “But just the same,” said Polly Wicks. “it does seem a little strange to me that Mr. Locke would make such a trip with you on so short an acquaintance.” “Nonesence!” replied Capt. Fran- cis Newcombe. There's nothing strange about it. You don't know that type of young America, that's all. The ‘short acquaintance’ end of it is purely the insular English view- point. He had a holiday on his hands, as I told you, and he meant to spend it on his boat somewhere. We hit it oft_splendidly together coming over, and—well, we've hit it off splendidly ever since. That's all.” Let's change the subject then,” said Polly Wickes. Capt. Francis Newcombe complacently. “I was going to,” he said. “I want to speak to you about last night.” “I don’t care for your choice,” sald Polly Wickes in what seemed to Locke like sudden agitation. S haven't been able to get that horrible cry out of my mind all day, and T hardly slept at all when I went to bed.” “But, my dear. that s utterly ab- surd” Capt. Frances Newcombe returned, with another laugh. by can only repeat what I said to you this morning—that it must have been some boatmen out on the water cat- calling to each other. T was startled myself at first, and a bit angry. I'll admit at the thought that some one was taking liberties with us; but I am quite sure now it wi nothing of the kind. You mustn’'t give it another thought—really. It isn't worth it. But I wasn't going to refer to that again. What I wanted to know was whether or not you told Miss Marlin about seeing her father out there at that hour of the night?"" “Yes,” said Polly Wickes. “I told her; and she said she knew he some- times went out night after night for a number of nights, and that, strange- ly enough, he'd go out later each night until finally it would be just before daybreak when he left the house—and then, after that, for a long while he wouldn't go out at all. She said she had never given her father an mking that she Kknew, and had never put any restraint upon him. As I have told you, what the doctors have warned her about, and ‘what she is more afraid of than any- thing else, is arousing any suspicion in her father’s mind that he requires watching or is being watched. ~There is the danger that he might become violent. In fact, it Is almost cer- tain that he would under such con- ditions, Dr. Daemer said.” “Hm!" commented Capt. Francis Newcombe. A chair creaked within; a footstep ;ounded on the floor approaching the loor. And Howard Locke retreated quietly around the corner of the boathouse. It was dark in the room, save where the moonlight stole In through the window and stretched a filmy path across the floor until, In a strange, nebulous way, it threw into relief a cheval glass that stood against the opposite wall. And in the glass a fléetion a laughed to make | with weight, the hands clenched upon the arms of the chair. And then suddenly, with a low, snarling oath, the more vicious for ite repressiof., the figure sprang from the chair, and stood with face thrust close against the mirre It was Capt. Francis Newcombe. He stared into the glass, his fists knotted at his sides. It was as though the two faces flung a challenge one at the other, each mocking the other in a soft of hideous imitation of every muscular movement. They were dis- torted—the lips drawn back, display- ing teeth as beasts might do; and in the shadows the e t, only the sockets showing lik: ugly, cavernous thing The minutes passed 4 A metamorphus was taking place. The faces became more composed; they became debonair, suave—and finally they smiled at one another as though a truce had been proclaimed. Capt. Francis Newcombe swung back to the chair, and flung himseif down 1n it again. It was over tor the moment. For the moment! Yes, that was it—for the moment! But it would come again. _Last night in his bunk on the Talofa he had lain aw and lived through hell. Today, be- hind his mask of complaisance, fear had gnawed. JFear! And it had been his boast that fear and he were strangers. His lips grew tight. Well, his boast still held good! What man had ever stood before him and taunted him with fear! This was fear in_a different sense. It was a fear of the intanxible, of what he could not materialize into actual form. It was the fear of the un- known. He was on his t agai he snarled. “Come out into the open and figh You hell- hound, you spawn of the devil, come show your face—" No! Quiet! That would not do! He was in control of himself again, n't he? It was a geme of wits against wits, of cunning matcned against cunning. But against whom —and what was the stake of this unknown, who had come to plagus and torment him, played for? I venge? The law? A nemesis rising up out of forgotten things? His mind prodded and s:(fted and strove, and in its striving emed to jar and jangle and crunc parts of some machinery i which, out of gear, threatened at any moment to demolish itself. If he went mad—like Mr. Marlin! Ha! v Go he muttered grimly. “This bad—a bad bit of nerves. If it was the same blighter who fired at me on shipboard—and it must have been—why didn't he fire at me again last night when he had an even Letter chance, instead of yowling through the darknes: That was better! It was the one trump card in his hand; the card that, s he had watched the daylight creep in through the tiny portholes of the Talofa that morni: had determined him, not only to carry on, but to make it serve as a trap to put an »ud to this skulking familiar who had fastened itself upon his trail. That wasn't fear, was it? . Shadow Varne! Who was the fool who dared to challenge Shadow Varne! He was smiling now—hut his lips were thin and merciless. It could no longer be heid attribu- table to some crazed, irresponsible act, that shot on shipboard, whica chance had elected should "be fired through his stateroom window rather than through any othe Logis now de- nied that. The man who fired that shot, and the man who had scream- ed out in taunting mockery at him last night. were one and the same. Well, who was it, then, who had been on _the liner, and was now on Manwa Island? A ‘There were only and Locke! Had Runnells had time t> change his shoes, or, granting the time, Lad cunning enough to have thousht of doing s0o? No; the chances were a thousand te one against it. Locke, then? But Runnells had said that Locke hadn't left the Talofa. Were Runnells dnd - Locka in:ymhoots to- gether? They had been extremely friendly on the way down. But Locke—it was preposterous! He knew who Locke was—a young Amer- jcan business man of good family It was curious, though, that Polly should have made that remark today —about a trip like this c» such short acquaintance. No; there was noth- ing in that. It had happened too naturally. Locke had a good many pairs of shoes. Like Runnells. none of them had been wet; but he was not sure he had found all of them in the darkness in the cabin with Locke —supposedly at least—asleep there the opposite bunk. Locke could easiiy have hidden a tell-tale pair; and Locke was decidedly the kind of man who would have had intelligence to do so. But how could rocke know him as S| low Varne? Well, there was Runnells His jaws set with a snap. Was it Runnells? There was ons way to find out—within the next ten minutes vith his hands at Runnells’ throat! No; that would not do—not yet—save as a last resort. If it were not Run- nells, then any act like that on his part would disclose his hand, arous: Runnells’ suspicions that this trip to Manwa Island was perhaps, after all, not entirely a holiday jaunt! He began to pace up and down tk/ room—but noiselessly, without sound His subconscious mind imposed the necessity for silence. His hands clenched until the nails bit into the palms. Who was 1t” What did it mean? What was at the bottom of {t? There was no answer that solved the question even to the satisfaction of a tormented brain that would have grasped with eager relief ?( even a plausible conclusion. The aw? If the law had proof that he was Shadow Varne, he woull not be an instant at liberty—though he would never be taken alive again—not even under the helpless condition that had done him down Puris for the first and only time, as that old busybody, Sir Harris Greaves, the rool who loved to play with lighted matches over a powder c: had so unctuously set forth. But perhaps the law did not have proof, had only suspicion—was only playing a game to trip him into disclosing his identity. Revenge? ‘Then why not another shot last night, as on the liner; why— The cycle! The infernal and ac- cursed cycle again! Well, whoever it was, they would play with Shadow Varne, would they Fools! Did they think he was one, too—that he could not see the 4 spot in their attack? Somethi holding them back here on the island from a shot as on the liner; here, for some reason, an attempt to inspire fear was evidently being resorted to instead. Something kejs them from coming out into the open, something necessitated this cat-and-mouse game, omething, if exposure were actually within 1¥eir power, prevented them from exposing umi. That was it! That was it exactly— the one point on which h: would stake everything and play out the game. Curse them and their childish tricks to frighten him! Exposure was the only thing he feared, because that would ruin every chance of success here; but If he was safe from ex- posure, or if exposure were only de- layed long enough—and it need not be very long delayed, at that—he would have got, as he meant to get, in spite of God, man or the devil, what he had come for! —_— (Continued in Tomorrow’s Star.)
