We had entered the trades and were making good time, I was content to stay on deck, even in my watch be- low. The wind was strong, the waves dashing, the sky very bine. From un- der our forefoot the flying flsh sped; the monsters pursued them. A. tingle of spray was in the air. It wad all ver;- pleasant. The red handkerchief art 'id Solomon's head made a pretty sr of color against the blue of the nd the darker blue of the sea. 'etted over the flawless white of ti.. •.ackhouse was the sullen, polished pr,- :ie of the nigger. Beneath me the shit, swerved and Ieaped, yielded and recovered. I breathed deep and saw cutlasses in harmless shadows. It was two years ago. I was young then, At the mess hour I stood in doubt. However, I was informed by the cap- 'tain's falsetto that I was to eat in the cabin. As the only other officer, I ate 'alone, after the others had finished, 'helping myself from the dishes left on •the table. It was a handsome cabin, well kept, with white woodwork spot- lessly clean, leather cushions -much better than one would expect. I after- ward found that the neatness of this cabin and of the three staterooms was maintained by the nigger -at the peril of his neck. A rack held a dozen rifles, five revolvers and, at last, my cutlass- es. I examined the lot with interest. They were modern weapons -the; new high power 80-40 box magazine rifle, shooting government ammunition -and had been used. The revolvers • were of course the old 45s. This was an ex- traordinary armament for a peaceable schooner of 150 tons burden. The rest of the cabin's fittings were not remarkable. By the configuration of the ship I guessed that two of the staterooms must be rather large. I -could make out voices within. On deck I talked with Captain Sel- over. "She's a snug craft," I approached him. He nodded. "You have armed her well." He muttered something of pirates and the China seas. I laughed. "You have arms .enough to give your crew about two magazine rifles apiece, unless you filled all your berths for- ward." Captain Selover looked me direct in r,y the eye. 'Talk straight, Mr. Hagen," said he, "What is this ship and where is she baundr I asked, with equal simplic- ity. He considered. "As for the ship," he replied at Iength, "I don't mind saying. You're my first officer, and on you I depend if It comes to -well, the small arms be - `low. If the ship's a little under the ,shade, why, so are you. She's by way of being called a manner of hard names by some people. I do not sue it myself. It is a matter of conscience. If you would ask some interested, they would call her a smuggler, a thief, a wrecker and. all the other evil titles in the catalogue. She has taken in Chinks by way of Santa Crus is- land, If that is smuggling. The coun- try is free, and a Chink is a man. Be- sides, it paid $10 a head for the land- ing. She has carried in a cargo or so -of junk. It was lying on the bench where a fool master had piled it, and I took what I found. I couldn't keep 'track of the underwriters' intentions." "But the room forward"- I broke in. "Well, you see, last season we were pearl fishing." "But you needed only your diver and your crew," I objected. "There was the matter of a Japanese gunboat or so," be explained., "Poaching!" I cried. "So some call it.

The islands tire not inhabited, I do not see how men claim property beyond the tidewater. I have heard it argued" - "Hold on!" I cried. "There was a trouble last year in the Ishigaki Jima. islands, where a poacher beat off the Oyama. It was a desperate fight." Captain Selover's eye lit up. "I've commanded a black brigantine, name of the Petrel," he admitted sim- ply. "She was a brigantine aloft, but alow she had much the same lines as the Laughing Lass." He whirled on his heel to roll to one of the covered yacht's cannon. "Looks like a harm, less little toy to burn black powder, don't she?" be remarked. He stripped off the tarpaulin and the false brass muzzle to display as pretty a little 3laxim as you would care to see, "Now you know all about it," he maid. "Look here, Captain Selover," I de- manded, "don't you know that I could blow your whole shooting match high- er than Gilderoy's kite? How do you know I won't do it when I get back? How do you know I won't inform the doctor at once what kind of an outfit he has tied to?" He planted far apart his thee': legs in their soiled blue trousers, pushed back his greasy linen boating hat and stared at tae with some amusement. "IIow do you know I won't blow on Lieutenant or Ensign EnIph Slade, 11. S. N., when I get back?" he demanded. I blessed that illusion anyway. "Be- sides, I know my man. You won't do anything of the sort." He walked to the rail and spat carefully over the side. "As for the doctor," he went on, "he knows all about it. He told me all about myself and everything I had ever done from the time I'd licked Buck Jones until last season's little diversion. Then he told me that was why he wanted me to ship for this cruise." The captain eyed me quiz- zically. I threw out my hand in a comic ges- ture of surrender. "Well, where are we bound, any- way?" The dirty, unkempt, disheveled figure stinened. "Mr, Eagen," its falsetto shrilled, "you are mate of this vessel. Your duty is to see that my orders as to sailing are carried out. Beyond` that you do not go. As to navigation and latitude and longitude and where we are, that is outside your line of duty. As to where we are bound, you are getting double wages not to get too curious. Remember to earn your wages, Mr. Dagen." He turned away to the binnacle. In spite of his personal filth, in spite of the lawless, almost piratical character of the man, in that moment I could not but admire him. If Percy Darrow was ignorant of the purposes of this expedi- tion, how muchmore so Captain Sel- over. Yet he accepted his trust blind- ly, and as far as I could then see in- tended to fulfill it faithfully. I liked him none the worse for snubbing me. It indicated a streak in bis moral na- ture akin to and quite as curious as his excessive neatness regarding his immediate surroundings. CHAPTER XI, URING the next few days the crew discussed our destination. Discipline, while maintained strictly, .was .not coneentionaL During the dog watches often every man aboard would be below, for at that period Captain, Selover loved to take the wheel in person, a thick eigar between his lips, the dingy checked shirt wide open to expose his hairy chest to the breese', In the twilight of the forecastle we had some great sea lawyer's talks --I say "we " though X took little part in them.

"Ain't you got a reason, doctor?" asked Handy Solomon. "No trade," insisted the nigger. An uneasy silence fell. I could not but observe that the others held the. uigger's statements in a respect not taue them as mere opinions. Subse- quentiy I understood a little more of the reputation he possessed, He was believed to see things hidden, es their phrase went. Nobody Bald anything for some time. Nobody stirred except that Handy Son onion, his steel claw removed froth its socket, wkiittied and tested, screwed and turned, trying to fix the hook rho that, in accordance with the advice of Percy Darrow, it would turn either way. "What is it, then, doctor?" he asked sent at last. ' .old," said the nigger shortly. "Uold--treasure," "That's what I said at first]" cried Bandy Solomon triumphantly. It was extraordinary, the unquestioning and entire faith with which they accepted as gospel fact the negro's dictum. There followed much talk of the na- ture of this treasure, whether it was to be sought or conveyed, bought, stolen or t'avishell in fair fight. No further soothsaying could they elicit from the Digger. They followed their own ideas, which led them nowhere. Some ode lit the forecastle lamp. They settled themselves. Pulz read aloud. This was the programme every day during the dog watch. Sometimes the watch on deck was absent, leaving only Ilandy, Solomon, the nigger and Pulz, but the order of the day was not ;in that account varied. They talked, they lit the lamp, they read. Always 'he talk was of the treasure. As to the reading, it was of the sort 'Isual to seamen, cowboys, lumbermen and miners. Thrackles had a number of volumes of very cheap love stories. Pulz had brought some extraordinary garish detective stories. The others contributed sensational literature with paper covers adorned lithographically. By the usual incongruity a fragment of "The Marble Faun" was included in the collection. The nigger had his :opy of "Duvall on Alchemy." I haven't the slightest idea where he could have got it. While Pulz read, Handy ttolomon worked on the alteration of his claw. He could never get 1t to hold, and I remember as an undertone to Pulz's reading the rumble of strange, exas- perated oaths, Whatever the even- ing's lecture, it always ended with the book on alchemy. These men had no perspective by which to judge such things. They accepted Its speculation') i tt theonfee et their face value. tremely laughable were the discus• slogs that followed. I often wished the shade of old Duvall could be per- mitted to see these, his last disciples, spelling out dimly his teachings, mis- pronouncinghis grave utterances, but believing utterly. Dr. Schermerhorn appeared on deck seldom. When he did, often his fingers held a pen which be had forgotteu to lay aside. I imagined him preoccu- pied by some calculation of his own, but the forecastle, more picturesquely, saw him as guarding constantly the heavy casket he had himself carried aboard. He breathed the air, walked briskly, turned with the German mili- tary precision at the end of his score of strides and re-entered his cabin at the lapse of the half hour. After he had gone, remained Percy Darrow leaning indolently against the tai rail, his graceful figure swaying with the ship's motion, smoking always the corn husk Mexican cigarettes which he rolled with one hand. He seethed from that farthest point aft to hold in re- view the appliances, the fabric, the actions, yes. even the very thoughts, of the entire. ship. From them he se- lected that on which he should com- ment or with which he should play, al- ways with a sardonic, half serious, The Dangers of Summer.

His inner knowledge, viewed by the light of this manner or mannerism, was sometimes uncanny, though per- haps the sources of his information were commonplace enough after all. Certainly he always viewed with amusement his victim's wonder. Thus one evening at the close of our day watch on deck he approached Handy Solomon. It was at the end of ten days, on no one of which the sea- man failed to tinker away at his steel claw. Darrow balanced in front of him with a thin smile. "Too bad it doesn't work, my amia- ble pirate," said he. "It would be so handy for fighting- See here," he suddenly continued, pulling some ob- ject from his pocket, "here's a pipe; present to me.

Give her back to me when you get through." 13e thrust the brier pipe into the wait's hand and turned away without waiting for a reply. The seaman looked after him is open amazement. That evening he worked on the socket of the steel hook, and in two days he bad the job finished. Then he return- ed the pipe to Darrow with some growling of thanks, "That's all right," said the young man, smiling full at hien. "Now, what are you going to fight?" C CHAPTER XII. APTAIN SELOVER received as his due the meal' absolute and implicit obedience imaginable. When he condescended to give an order in bis own person, the men fairly jumped to execute it. The mat- ter bad evidently been thrashed out long ago. They did not Iove him, not they, but they feared him with a mighty fear and did not hesitate to say so vividly and often when in the privacy of the forecastle. The pre- vailing spirit was that of the wild beast cowed but 'snarling still. Pule u(1 Thrackles in especial had a great deal to say of what they were or were not going to do, but I noticed that their resolution always began to run out of them when first foot was set to the companion lander. One duty we were loafing along, ev- erything drawing well and everybody but the doctor ou deck to enjoy the sun. 1 was in the crow's nest for my pleasure. Below me on the deck Cap- tain Selover roamed here and there, as was his custom, his eye cocked out like a housewife's for disorder. He found it, again in the evidence of ex- pectoration, and as Perdosa happened to be handiest fell on the unfortunate M exican. Perdosa protested that he had had nothing to do with it, but Captain Sel- over, enraged as always when his precious deck was soiled, would not listen. Finally the Mexican grew sul- ky and turned away as though refus- ing to hear more. The captain there- upon felled him to the deck and began brutally to kick him in the face and head. Perdosa writhed and begged, but without avail. The other members of the crew gathered near. After a moment they began to murmur. Final- ly Thrackles ventured most respectful- ly to intervene. "You'll kill him, sir," ire interposed. "He's had enough." "Had enough, has .he?" screeched the captain. "Well, you take what's left." He marked Thrackles over the eye. There was a breathless pause, and then Thrackles, Pulz, the uigger and Perdosa attaeked at once. They caught the master unawares and bore him to the deck. I dropped at once to the ratlines and commenced toy descent. Before 1 bad reached the deck. however. Selover was afoot again. the four hanging to him like dogs In a moment more he had shak- en them off. and before 1 could inter - vette he had seized a belaying pin in either hand and was hazing theta up and down the deck. "Mutiny, would you?" he shrilled. "You poor :?webs! Forget who was your captain. did ye?

I descended to the forecastle, follow ed immediately by Handy Solomon, The latter had taken no part in the affair. We found the men in horrible shape, what with the bruises and outs, and bleeding freely. "Now, you're a uice looking Sunday schooll" observed Ilandy Solomon, eying them sarilonlr'aliy, "Tackle Old Scrubs, will ye? Well, some needs a bale of cotton to fall on 'em afore they learns anything. Enjoyed your little diversions, mates? And w'at do you expect to gain? I asks you that uow. You poor little infants!

Then they went immediately on deck and to w After this taste of his quality Cap- tain Selover enjoyed a quiet ship. We made good time, but for a long while nothing happened. Finally the mo- notony was brokeu by an incident. One evening before the nigbt winds I sat in the shadow of the extra dory Selover was afoot again, the four hang- ing to him like dogs. on top of the deckhouse. The moon was but just beyond the full, so I sup- pose I must have been practically in- visible. Certainly the nigger did not know of my presence, for he came and stood within three feet of me without giving any sign. The companion was open. In a moment some door below was.opened also, and a scrap of con- versation came up to us very clearly. "You haf dem finished?" the doc- tor's voice inquired. "So, that ins well." Papers rustled for a few mo- ments. "And the r -result -ah -exactly -it iss that exactly. Percy, mein son, that maigs the experiment exact. We haf the process" -- "I don't see, sir, quite," replied the voice of Percy Darrow, with a tinge of excitement. "I can follow the logic of the experiment, of course; so can I follow the logic of a trip to the moon. But when you come to apply it how do you get your re -agent? There's no known method" - Dr. Schermerhorn broke in: "Ach, it iss that I haf perfected. Pardon me, my boy; it iss the first I haf worked from you apart. It iss for a surprise. I haf made in small quantities the missing ingredient. It will form a per- fect interruption to the current. Now we go" - "Do you mean to say," almost shout- ed Darrow, "that you have succeeded in freeing it in the metal?" "Yes," replied the doctor simply. I could hear a chair overturned. "Why, with that you can" - "I can do efferything," broke in the doctor. "The possibilities are enor- mous." "And you can really produce it in quantity?" "I think so, It iss for us to discov- er." A pause ensued. "Why!" came the voice of Percy Darrow, awestricken. "With fifty centigrams only you could -you could transmute any substance - why, you could make anything you pleased al- most! You could make enough dia- monds to fill that chest! It is the philosopher's stone!" "Diamonds -yes -it is possible," in- terrupted the doctor impatiently, "if it was worth while. But you should see the real importance" - The ship Careened to a chance swell, A door slammed. The voices were cut off. I looked up. The nigger's head was thrust forward fairly into the glow from the companionway. The mask of his sullenness had fallen. His eyes fairly rolled in excitement. iiia thick lips were drawn back to expose his teeth. His powerful figure was gathered with the tensity of a bow. When the door slammed he turned si- lently to glide away, At that instant the watch Was changed, and in a me. meat I found myself in my bunk. Ten seconds later the nigger, de - twined by Captain Selover for some trifihtg duty, burst Into the forecastle. Ile was possessed of the wildest ex. citement, This in itself was enough to gain the attention of the men, but his first words were startling. "I found de treasure!" he altttost shouted, "1 know where he kept!" They leaped et him-Ilandy Solo- mon and Pule -and fairly shook out of Mtn what be thotight he knew.
