(Continued From Our Last Issue) The deposed president was peeling Another apple when Dudley left. The young man felt grateful for his sym: pathy, but the net result was bitter, He was ashamed to walk the stre of Spring Haven, a Fenwick discred. ited and unable to say with certainty when he could meet his obligations. Amos Runlett had outwitted him and perhaps the bank might refuse to ac cept the shares as collateral, Nor could he tell anyone what became of that $800. Restless, angry with himself, he rambled into an alley which twisted away from the shore and joined one of the small streets, crimson sweater and the figure of a girl who crossed his vision and would have been gone, but she chanced to look toward the glowing sunset and s0 spied the young man, who stood irresolute, She decided the problem for him by halting with ® KAY smile of recognition. As he hastened nearer he was rather ruefully embarrassed, as if caught in the act of hiding from her, and she promptly accused him of the crime. “Do you know, I have a suspicion that you were planning to dodge if | You mw me first.

CHAPTER vir. The Strategy of Captain Terry Cochran Instead of spending another day in Spring Haven, Fenwick chose to |return to his schooner and hold him self in readiness to finish the salvage transaction before sailing, if possible Kate Eldredge had been kind, but he craved more than that, This may have influenced his decision some what. His interview with Runiett was un satisfactory, and no settlement was made, The certificates of transfer had to be signed by Miss Wethere!! Runlett said, and she had neglected the matter before leaving for Florida. Dudley had a feeling that had never been brought to her attention. and his feeling became conviction when he learned that she had left | Portland only the day before. The whole affair was assuming an aspect of the boldest sort of trickery Dudley, however, was caught In the grip of circumstances. There was nothing for him to do at this late date but take the Elizabeth out to sea. He had signed as skipper. Runlett had seen to that, and there would be an endless amount of lit: jgation caused should he attempt to [break his contract. | It was while Dudley was on this | Voyage that Captain Terry Cochran's |business brought him to Portland. | Captain Terry had no other thought than to look up the man whom he and Captain Joe Dabney had learned to admire during those trying Nor folk days. In Spring Haven Cochran found | Dudley gone, but there were plenty of hotel loafers to tell him all the gossip. It did not take him long to see how matters stood, and his im. pulsive Irish sympathies were enlist ed with thé struggles of the under dog. He left no stone unturned and even old Ellery H. Titus was lured into conversation when he entered the hotel for a chat with the land lord. “Between the two of us, sir,” in sinuated Terry, at the proper mo- | ment, “would you recommend me to buy into the Wetherell fleet?” } “Iam not at Uberty to disclose my j|source of information,” was the flat tered response, “but Thurber & Ger rish of Boston, plan to build a dozen steam colliers—" “Oh, they dot And who let that nonsense trickle Into your left ear?” blurted Terry. | “Er—your figure of speech is more |pleturesque than elegant, young }man,” objected Ellery Titus, whone | feelings were ruffied. “The informa tion has been known among bank- ers and ship-brokers for some time. | While it lacks confirmation—" | “"Tis much more that it lacks,” |blazed Terry. “Thurber & Gerriah can't build a steam hencoop. Thur- |ber was in New York last month to \try and place a blanket mortgage on the property, but he never got a look- I heard all about it in Norfolk in. My own company owns Thurber & Gerriah stock.

I wan not in & position to advance it personally |My own affairs are rather uncer tain.” “Change your mind, if you please. Mr. Titus. I will send you a draft for the amount before I sail from Boston. You will carry the loan in your own name.” see While Fenwick waited at Norfolk jfor orders, two other Wetherell schooners came in, loaded, and sailed to the eastward, and J made the master of the Elizabeth no happier to watch them pass his anchorage. Daily he called at the tow-doat office in hopes of some word from Port land. Finally Captain Joe Dabney an nounced one morning: “A navy collier was due tn today. Dudley, to fill up and proceed to Guantanamo. She is repo'ted by wireless as dimabied. There are no steamers available at sho't notice, and I reckon if you leg It over to the navy yard you may be able to fix up a charter with Uncle Sam.” Dudley thanked him and sprinted for the ferry. The commandant wan interested and notified Washington. Acceptance wan received on the same day, at a price per ton which Amon Runlett approved by wire. It waa so much better than a coastwise trip that Fenwick’s spirits rebounded. He sent his crew aboard and was about to jump into the tiny launch when @ young man accosted him and asked to be taken out to the Eliza beth.
