The stout woman settled herself .in: the rocker with a sigh of relief. “I'm| always glad I live on the ground floor!” she said. “I should hate to have to climb three flights of stairs every time I'd been anywhere! still, of course, the rents are cheaper up here, | I suppose. I hear that your Ethel go't:‘ engaged this summer, Mrs. Gimmons. | “Yes,” admitted her hostess with a; pleasant smile. “Ethel is engaged to; a perfectly young man. His name ?s{ George Winkum—of the Indianapolis Wirkums, you know—and is so good | looking and polite and so devoted to Ethel! It was quite touchirg.” “You must be relieved,” said her caller. “Ethel has had so little atlen-' Occa- | tion here in town.

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 g0 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," be answered. “Wireless, Matt! wireless telegraph?” “Yes. Herman's operating it, and Schwartz is sending messages.” “You actually saw them?" “Yes, inside a lot of mattresses by the foremast to deaden the sound, of You don't mean a It Was an Astonishing Sight That Met His Gaze. course, and keep us from hearing. We're prisoners on this ship.

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 dies 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. 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 to the is- lnnds. So there was Schwartz all ready, with his ship and his blarney and his spider’s web across the roud 1 was bound to take.” “Why basn'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 mizht— Rather than have you burt I'll tell everything | myself.” “You shan't.” “1 will, Matt, 1 will!” “You don't know where fs. You don't know the bhearings. What could you tell them that they don't know?”" She whispered something back that i blanched his face.

I hope! Ethel won't go and spend a lot of' money on a trousseau that she may | never have any use for!” “No danger of that,” sald Ethel's! mother, indignantly. “George is crazy | about her. There were ten girls to | one man there, so he had plenty of choice. Of course, if Ethel was like | your Lillian I could understand yourl | | taking the view you do—but I don't have to worry about Ethel’s attraction wearing off. It must be sad for Lil- lian to realize that she is getting on in years and all her friends are marry- ing and she is left on the shelf! Lil- | lian would be a nice looking girl it | her nose was different—and there | doesn’t seem to be much she can do | for her complexion, does there? Ethel is so lucky, having natural bloom!” “She had it on so thick I could see it clear across the street yesterday!” ! said the visitor. “Lillian called me to the front window and said. ‘Mam- | ma, isn't it perfectly shocking the | way FEthel gets herself up?
