We don't know what boat holds Peggy,” “Keep cool, boys, and be ready to worep if w® have to.” He was half mad with fear and anxiety, and he was determined to exterminate the band of robbers {f harm came to the girl in thetr power. “he's inthe second boat,” came the cry from the yacht, and the eéarchiight was kept on that particular object al- most to the exclusion of the others. But Capt. Perry saw the wisdom of keeping all of them clearly located in order to prevent trickery. Brewster's brawny sailor boys came up like greyhounds, eheering as they dashed among the boats of the fugitives. Three or four shots were fired into the air by the zealous American Jeds, and there were loud cries from the Arabs as they veered off panic-stricken. Monty's boat was now im the path of light and not far behind the one which held 'Pegey. He was standing in the bow. “Stop!” Brewster shouted to the Arabs. “Stop, or we'll Kill every one of you!" His boat was not more than fifty feet from the other. Suddenly a tall, white-robed figure arose in the middle of the Egyptian craft, and a moment later the pursuers saw Pegsy's form passed up to him, She was instantly clasped by one of his long arms, and the other was lifted high above ber. A gleaming knife was held in the upraised hand. “Tire on us tf you dare!” came in French from the, taj! Arab. ‘Dog of an American, she shall die if you) com: near her!" 5 ‘The sharp crack of a gun sounded in the stern of Bre eter's boat, and an unerring bullet sped straight for the big Arab’s forehead. It crashed between his eyes and death must have been instantaneous. The knife flew from his hand, his body straightened and then collapsed, toppling @ver, not among his oarsmen, but across the gunwale of the eraft. Before a hand could be lifted to prevent, the dead Arab and the girl were plunged into the sea. The sailor who fired the shot plunged quickly into the water. Monty Brewster was“In the water an instant later, strik- ing out for the spot where they had disappeared, a little to the left of the course in which his boat. was running. There was @ rattle of firearme, with ourses and cheers, but he patd Ro heed to these sounds, He was a length or two behind the sailor, praying with all his soul that one or the other might sneceed in reaching the white robes that still kept the surface of the water. His crew was “backing water” and straining every muscle to bring the boat around sharp for the rescue, The sailor's powerful strokes brought him to the spot first, but not in time to clutch the disappearing white robes. Just as he reached out an arm to grasp the form of the girl she went down. He did not hesitate a second, but fol- lowed. Peggy had fallen from the dead Arab's embrace, and that worthy already was at the bottom of the sea, She was balt cone.'vus when the shot came, but the plunge into the cold water revived her. Her struggles were enough to keep her up for a few moments, but not long enough for the swimmers to reach her side. She felt herself going down and down, strangling, smothering, dying. Then something vise-llke clutched her arm and she had the sensation of being jerked upward violently. The sallor fought his way to the surface with the girl, and Brewster was at his side in an instant, Together they eupported her until one of the toats came up, and they were drawn ovor the side to safety. By this time the ab- ductors had scattered Uke sheep without a leader, and as there was no further object in pursuing them the little American fleet put back for the yacht in great haste. Peggy was quite conscious when carried aboard by the tri- umphant Brewster. The words he whispered to her as she Jay in the bottom of the boat were enough to give her life. Peggy was not hereéif for several days after her experience and the whole party felt-a distinct relief when the yacht finally left the harbor and steamed off to the west. A catle- fram that came the day before may have had something to io with Brewster's depression, but he was not the sort to confess it. It was from Swearengen Jones, of Butte, Mon., ind there was something elnister in the laconic admonition, ft read: , U, §, Consulate, Alexandria. ‘a good time while good times Inst. JONES, His brain was almost bursting with the hopes and fears $nd uncertainties that crowded it far beyond Sts ordinary fapacity, t had come to the point, It seemed to him, when the brains of a dozen mez at least were required to operate the affairs that were surging into his alone. ‘The mere fact that the end of his year was less than two months off and that there was more or less uncertainty as to the character of the end, was sufficient cause for worry, but the new trouble was infinitely harder to endure, When he sat down to think over his flnancial enterprises his mind treacherously wandered off to Peggy Gray, and then everything was hope- less, He recalled the courage aixi confidence that had car- tled him to Barbara Drew with a declaration of love—to the stunning, worldly Barbara—and smiled bitterly when he saw how basely the two alles were deserting him in this hour of love for Peggy Gray. For some reason he had felt sure of Barbara; for another reason he saw no chance with Peggy, Bhe was not the same sort—she was different. She was— well, she was Peggy. Occasionally his reflections assumed the importance of ealculations. His cruise was sure to cost $200,000, a princely gum, but not enough. Swearengen Jones and his catilegram @id not awe him to a great extent, The spending of the milMon had become a mania with him now, and he had no fegard for consequences. Wis one desiro, aside from Pegsy, Was to Increase the cost of the cruise. They were leaving Gibraitar when a new idea came into his troubled head. He decided to change his plans and sail for the North ape, thereby adding more than $30,000 to his credit, , Monty was on deck when the inspiration seized him, and Re lost ~W sme in telling hia guests, who were at breakfast. x i it oye AIT ANNETTE EE oS ev WORLD'S # HOME »# MAGAZINE ww Although he had misgivings about their opinion of the scheme, he was not prepared for the ominous atlence that followed his annauncement, The spirits of the crowd were subdued. The North Cape had charms, but the proclamation concerning it had been too sudden—had reversed too quickly the general expectation and desire. Many of the guests had plans at home for August, and even those who had none were satiated with excitement, During the morning they gathered in little knots to discuss the situation. They were all generous and each one was sure that he could cruise indefinitely, if on Monty's account the new voyage were not out of question, They felt it their duty to take a desperate stand. Peggy was the one rebel against the conspiracy, and yet she knew that the others were justified in the step they proposed to take. She reluctantly joined them in the end, but felt that she was the darkest traitor in the crowd. For- getting her own distress over the way in which Mgnty wi squandering his fortune, she stood out the one defender of tis rights until the end and then admitted tearfully to Mrs, De Mille that sho had been “quite unreasonable” in doing so. Alone in her stateroom after signing the agreement, she wondered what he would think of her. She owed him so much that she at least should have stood by him. She felt that he would be conscious of this. How could she have turned against him? Ho would not understand—of course he would never understand. And he would hate her with the others—more than the others. It was all a wretched muddle and she could not see her way out of it. Monty found dis guests very dificult. They Mstened to his plans with but little interest, and he could not but sce that they were uncomfortable. The situation was new to their experience, and they were under a strain. ‘They mope around lke a lot of pouting boys and girls,” he growled to himself. “But it's the North Cape now in spite of everything. I don't care if the whole crowd deserts me, my mind is made up.” In dance with plans decided upon by the eutineers, Monty's e@itereom door was guarded through the night by two of the men. The next morning as he emerged from his Yoom he wes met by ‘Subway’ Smith ehd Dan DeMille. “Good morning,” was his greeting. ‘How's the weather 4 a TGhswered De Mille. “By the way, you are going to have breakfast in your room, old man."

He was given to understand that the yacht would sail for Boston, and that he would be kept a prisoner ‘or the entire voyage unless he submitted to the will of the majority. ‘They ran Into a storm, and it became impossible to keep Brewster in his stateroom. The yacht broke her shaft and was taken in tow for England by a freight steamer for $50,000. He rented a floor of a hotel in London for a fortnight, although his party only took luncheon there. He gave Bragdon $15,000 to provide for the homeward passage of the party and bade him nevor return a cent of St. Going over the statistics carefully, he estimated that the cruise, Including the repairs and the return of the yacht to New York, would cost him $210,0 in round figures. One hundred and thirty-three days marked the length of the voyage when reckoned by time, and, as near as he could get at ft, the expense had averaged $1,590 a day. According to the contract, he was to pay for the yacht, exolusive of the culsine and personal service, And he had found it simple enough to spend the remaining $1,080. There were days, of coutse, when fully $5,000 disappeared, and there were others om which he spent much less than $1,000, but the average was seoure. Taidng everything into consideration, Brewster found that his fortune had dwindled to a few paltry thou- sands In addition to the proceeds which would come to him from the sale of ‘his furniture. On the whole he was satls- fled. His true friends tried to curb him and save the last rem- nants of his fortune when he was once more in New York, but he sold his furniture and squandered the proceeds on dinners. A week before Sept. 23 the million and his winnings was gone, but ho still had $17,000 interest his money had earned in bank. He was delighted to learn that: his ser- vants had robbed him of all the valuable gifts he could not bring himself to sell.’ He gave $%,000 to the Newsboys’ Home, the only gift to charity, as his uncle had warned him to give sparingly. Forty-eight hours before the end of the year he had $79.08 and went to work on his statement of how he had spent the million, He wae dack in his old rooms at Mrs. Gray's. He was happy. Peggy had smiled when he told her he was @ pauper and he ‘had found courage to tell her that he loved her. She said she hac always loved him, and in his joy he made her promise to marry him on the morning of Sept. 23. When he called on Grant & Ripley with his report he was told that Swearengen Jones had disappeared, It was with a heavy heart that he went back to Peggy. (To Be Continued.) ‘WOMEN BULL-FIGHTERS.

In some tn- stances these have outstripped the dia- mond in price, and dealers are forced to supply the demands of their cus- tomers from private sources. ‘This condition of the market has been coming on gradually, until now It is an important feature in the buying and selling of the stones. It ts not so much the result of an increased demand, al- though pearls are becoming more popu- lar each year, as on account of a fallime off in the world’s supply of gems. ‘The decrease in the world’s output of emeralds during the past few years has been such as to cause graye alarm among the most conservative of precious atone dealers of the world.
