THE EVENING STAR, V IN RABBITBORO—A Dumbunny Buy! T 'S TMAT QUEER E=| THAT 'S5 A LABOR- SAVIN' lrg}(\)%m’ CONTRAPTION Da\f‘tce 1 JUST BOUGHT FROM ASHINGTON, D. €. THURSDAY, MARCH 15 MERCY ! HE TALKED S0 ’ viH an, - ing wit The Devil's A MYSTERY STORY. By FRANK L. PACKARD. Cobrricht. 1027, by Frank L. Packand. (Continued from Yesterday's Star.) *There is very little more to tell,” he sald—and wondered at the casualness ©of his voice. “After knocking about & bit more, I finally ended with Capt. Mumm on the Break O' Dawn, the trading schooner that went down out there tonight—and the rest you know." “Yes,” she said, “I—I.sce. And to- | night—this is the sequel, isn't 1?2 It scems so. unbelievable, so—-" She slopped abruptly. “What is that?” she asked quickly. There was a sudden confusion of sounds aboard the ship—movement, an increased vibration, voices, footsteps along the deck. Peter turned his face to hide the sud- den tightening of his lips. His mind, in a torn, frenzied way, had already formulated the same question. What was it? Had they, after all, picked up Yar Lal or one of the others? He was Alec Dunn now. It meant disclosure. It was a beastly, horrible thing to measure his own safety against the life | of one of those poor devils. Well, thank | God, deep down within him he was | conscious that he was doing nothing of | the kind—it was the thrill at the turn | of the card, the catch of the breath as | fortune toyed with the stakes that were a man’s all. He made no effort to answer her question. Footsteps came nearer; & voice called her name: Marion es, father,” she answered; “I'm And then, as two figures ap- around the corner of the deck- she rose from her chair again. “What is all this sudden disturbance about? But first—you know Mr. Dunn, but I don't think Mr. Rand does. Mr. Dunn—Mr. Rand.” Peter found himself staring into the | {ace of the man who had scowled at him at the gangway. He took the prof- {ered hand, conscious of a certain sense c‘i:lnupntm-—conscmus that it was mu- | t “By Jove!” said Rand. with a quiet laugh, “I should have imagined that after your experiences tonight, Mr. gfld!}fl. you'd have been tucked away in “No,” said Peter a little brusquely. “I'm none the worse for them.” “Then you must have the constitu- tion of an ox, Mr. Dunn: though, after I'm x:lot 50 slux"re;“—‘mnd muhugh- quietly agal apparently now th a desire to make himself genial | and agreeable—'since Miss Garth's company would be a panacea for any " _The words grated, and there m] ‘something in the other’s intensely black | Pyumtbdkdthezuummeuo!m| laugh that had accompanied them.

Mumm, as though suddenly aroused from sleep. And Peter answered: “Alec Dunn.” CHAPTER XIIL The Pariah, ETER sat suddenly upright in bed. It did not seem to him that he had closed his eyes and yet he must have slept a little, for the first gray streaks of dawn were filtering in now through the cabin porthole. Capt. Josephus Mumm, in the other bed. was alrcady dangling his feet over the side, pre- paratory to jumping to the floor. Some one was knocking imperatively and re- peatedly at the door. “Blast it,’ shoutf':mthe little dred: haired skipper irr} ly, “you don’ need to mep:he whole ship up! Who's there, and what's wanted?"” “It's Mr. Garth,” a voice answered “Sounds like his dinner last night hadn’t agreed with him!” grunted the little_ skipper, as he swung himself to the floor and opened the door. Peter, still in bed, stared. The alley- way seemed to be literally packed with men. He rubbed his eves in amaze- ment. Besides Mr. Garth, he recog- nized the yacht's commander, Capt. Stone, who, with Mr. Garth, had ac. companied the Break o' Dawn's skip- per and himself to the cabin here last night; behind these two were Rand, with set, threatening face, and a bald- headed, grimy faced man in a greasy white uniform, and, flanking the latter, still two more men, who, from their dress, were obviously two of the crew. ‘The yacht's commander and Mr. Garth brushed by the little skipper un- ceremoniously and came into the cabin. Capt. Stone held a revolver in his hand; his face, eyes and voice were hard. “Get up, you!" he rasped at Peter. “And get your clothes on!" “Of course,” said Peter, a little help- lessly, as he got out of bed. “But what's up?” “Get your clothes on!"” repeated the yacht's commander, uncompromisingly. The little red-haired skipper project- ed himself forward. “Damme!” he exploded. “A bit thick, I call this! What's all the blooming row about?" Humphrey Garth answered him. clothes on as well, Capt. Mumm,” he said in a repressed voice; “for, though I am sure you are not involved in this in any way, I do not imagine you will care to go back to bed again. “That's as it may be!” retorted the little skipper, ungraciously. “I'll tell you better when I know what you're driving at.

Mr. Garth's face particularly seemed to stand out from the circle. It not only seemed to combine an intense bitterness with a smoldering fury, but it was almost ashen in its color. Twice he glanced at Cafi:' Mumm. “;fll'“r?l: skipper was growling angrily un breath; and, whether uu{enmly or not, refused to meet his, Peter’s, eyes. ‘What did it mean?

Peter stood like a man stunned; and then instinctively, as the brutal and ghastly horror of what con- fronted him drove in upon his senses, he drew back a little. No one else moved. No one spoke. This was what it meant! This was why he had been brought here under guard! They were golng to accuse him, for some impossible, incredible reascn—of this! Was he mad—were they mad? He did not want to look wouldn't be fair, you know, to toss any more, but he could not take his tisds campaign. IT. o k.
