recent labor and this really etertling de-
nouement. ,
At the same tithe a veke he" should
know, a voice that thrilled every fibre 'of
his being, a voitce he had been dearly
wishing to hear, exelaimed in accents
that speke of bravery wrestlinn with
womanly tear:
"Stand back, you villain 1 I mate be
trapped, but not conquered I, Stand
back, or—"
She left her sentence incomplettatfor
by this', time* she had been enabled to
catch a glimpse of Larry's, face, now.
,wreathed in a httge grin of astonish -
merit and pleasure.
"Larry 1 God be thanked!" came in
accents of keenest 'delight, and in an
insdant, the situation underwent a
kaleidoscopic 'change.
The little man was threatened with
death from toy weapon at one Imo-
ment," and the next he found himself in
danger of the same violent end through
being smothered.
For in the excess of her emotions, due
to the- •revulsion of feeling upon dis-
covering who this intruder on her
privacy really was, Avis had gathered
the little man in her arms and give him
a genuine, hearty, cousinly hug.
Larry made no protest, not he; such
things are like angels' visits, too few
and far between, and he was ready to
stand the consequences with•the valor ef
a stoic, however short ofebreath the
vigorous attack might leave him.
Besides, -Laity infinitely preferred
this sort of, an assault to being com-
pelled to 'face even a toy revolver that
blinked into his left optic with threaten-
ing zeal.
Lord Beckett now came up, and Avis
quickly held out her hand for him to
clasp.
The dim past was forgotten.
Once she had dreaded contact with
this man, at the time his soul was con-
sumed with a mad love for her -once
she had despised, ay, feared him as an
eneiny of her husband.
That was all gone.
The big Briton had conquered himself,
ana his life since had been in positive
evidence of the sincerest reformation.
To -day, at this 'hour and minute,. b
was proving the wonderful change that ,
had comeeoVer his nature, and, instead'
of taking risks in the endeavor to bring
herrn upon any worn she, loved, Was
placing his own life in deadly peril, so
that he might, stand between. Dr. Jack's
widow and calamity.
And this with'no other prospect of re-
ward --at least that she knew anything
about ---than the pleasure' that over-
whelms one whert the call to duty has
been obeyed.
She therefore gladly gave him her
hand, and thanked -him with , an elo-
quent look fronither glorious.blue eyes,

'Whether the sheer weight was against

Neither stopped to take an observation,.
but plunged boldly in. • •
It would have been the height of folly
to have lingered even a second, a temp-

wretched Chinese, and some of the sail-
ors, either stung into activity by this
thtett goad, or the realization that -their
;desperate enemies were on the retreat;
tad Scrambled to their feet and were
rushing pell-mell in the direction of the
cabin entrance, yearning to get in at
least one savage stroke ere this bold foe
paseed from the immediate range of
their Vision.
The two men had aii indistinct view
el it dimly -lighted compartment where
eilkeri draperies hung, and many rich
Oriental divaps and pillows were scat-
tered about. e
'Lord Beckett turned instantly to snap

CHAPTERXIV.
This first iroiend had' been quickly
fought, . with but trifling danger to the
brave couple who• had boarded s the
floating' iunkin search pi .Dr. Jack's
widow.
True, they had not allowed the ragged
line of Celestials to come within strik-
ing distance, and the latter had beere
unable to put their knives against the
action ofmodern firearms, else the re -
:unit! might hav'e been eomewhey differ -
It was hecessary, however, that they
proceed to take Advantage oft the re-
spite offered them, since the golden
opportunity might prove to be the de-
sideratum upon which their whole fu-
ture depended.
• So Larry edged his way further along
in the quarter where he knew the door
of the .junk's cabin lay. .
And close to his side the more bulky
frame ,of Plympton kept pace with his
movements.
The latter had grave doubts, regarding
the tactics of the Chinese crew of the
beat, and believed it his duty to 'keep
their re0 well luarcled., -
Ile had considerable respect for the
well-known trickery which has always
-marked the character of the race, and
feared .less this sudden change of base
"might be. only a means to an end.
In other words, Lord Beckett, blunt
and straightforward himself In his bluff
'English fashion, dreaded the enemy
fully as much when they threw them-
selves upon the bloody deck and ceased
their clamorous outaries as ,when they
surged forward in bold attack., .
Smite characters are more dangerous
when 'still than while whooping it up
• like wild Bedouins of the desert,
They reached be cabin •door.
Larry's groping 'hand came in contact
. with the knob by means of which it was
opened.
Of course' it moved outwardly, so that
a heavy sea might net force its way in-
side during sone tropical tphyoon.
A Chinese junk is an ungainly etaft in
-the eyes of sailors accustomed to the
triter Outlines of boats built upon the
Clyde or in American waters. She rears
• her squatty shape out of -the water Much
after the fashion of a Dutch gallot of
olden days, and it takes eOme Arne' and
- experience to realize -what weatherly
qualities may he in such a quaintly

timed vessel, • ,eete-
nd „yet a dud of comfort lies in some
f these" same junks, fashioned to cater
to the tastes of native nabobs and .pow-
erful mandarins. The cabin' is usually
richly furnished,4 after the prevailing
Chinese style, to be sure, but those who
it affect to sneer at all ,such clumsy plea-
sure craft would doubtless change their
tune could they have a glimpse of their
luxurious /surroundings.

There eves now Hine to examine their
situation- with a vietv to, extracting all
the coinfort possible out. of it. •
Takdnas a whole, the codidiiihn et
affatrs was, decidedly naive. •
.e/Here they were shut up in the cabin,
of a hosthe junk, with veageful enemies
on deck, and drifting down the river.
"What would be the end? A score of
things might happen to them, any one
oft which could only be considered with
a shudder. •
Even the sea lay beyond, and there
were many waye in which tlaeir enemies
might force them into" a surrender, or
'accomplish their destruction if it came Iffi
that desperate end. In imagination Lord
Hackett could see the junk beaten by
one of those fierce 'tempests that sweep
the Chinese coast, born of tropical in-
fluences amid the islands of the Eastern
seas, or else engulfed in flames, with not
a boat remaining in which to eecape.
' The prospect was not alluring.
Ihdeed, it presented a grim aspeet to
even such an old and tried cariehdigner.
as lihnself.
Not that he had tiny idea of submit-
ting to the pleasure of thosee on deck
one minute longer than was absolutely
necessary,
Such acquiescence would net have
been in aoccirdance with the nature Of
the man.
Escape from the floating prison they
must, and with Avis in their compariy.
But how wee it to be done?
That. was the all-important question.
The situation was 'unpartilleled.
Plympton could rack his beairi and not
find anything in his stormy past that
held a eandle to it.
This threw hini entirely upon such re-
sources as the cabin of the junk offered,
beelced up -by the inventive abilities of
himself and comrade, which it may be
-understood were of no Mean order.
They could teU from' the motion of the
boat that the junk still floated, and, so
far as they were able to detect, no move-
ment was in progress looking toward
reaching tend.
It evidently quite suited the purposes
of those on board to keep afloat while
wrestling with the unique problem they
had on their hands,
'lympton looked out of the stern vvie,-
, in which the piratical chap had
•en lodged at the time Larry gave htne
1 is compliments.
it was • somelittle distance above the
sombre -looking water of the river,, but
a - valorees Man would hate thought,
little about "niaking the plunge when his
life was at Stake.
This 'method of procedure was not in
his Mind just at present; Someother
means Of escape would have to be on
sidered, since they had a lady to look
after.
He glanced back over the coarse they
had come.
-Lights cOtild ele seen about the city,
but after all it made a miserable show-
ing, considering the immensity of space
covered. Chinese methods are still ef
the antiquated kind that were good
enough for their ancestors. Should they
insult the reverend memory of those
worshipful generations by deserving
better?
Perhaps .Plympton had cherished a
hope that a boat of some kind might be
trailing astern of the junk.
Alas 1 there was no sign of one, and
whatever fancies clustered about this,
chanee vanished in thin emetic.
The he .looked, up.
Te clamber out,' ,of the window -and
gala the poop deck of the junk was cer-
tainly feasible, since one of the sailors,
had effected a reversemovement.
What pod would it accomplish? lie
could not thus gain' -the mastery of the
beat and send her ashore.
Evidently the game was to he fought
out from another,vantage point, and he
must look within for means of contin-
uing the contest.
So Larry was posted to cover this
eveale place, where the open windows
invited an assault, while Plymptotr ex-
amined the cabin in order to obtain his
bearings.
Avis had recovered her usual Self-
possession and watched these manoeu-
vres with Considerable interest.
She quickly comprehended that Lord
Beckett hoped to find some means of
leaving The cabin besides the door or the
window; and presently joined him in the
search.,
It seemed useless, however.
While they' Were speculating as to
what might lie beneath the cabin floor,
Plynniton felt a trembling movettnent
under his feet.
His first thought was that the junk heft
struck some floating object -then ii
flashed into his head that rnayhapthe
resettle had started to scuttle the vessel,
hoping . that those In the cabin might
drown like rats. t ,
The moet amazing fancies ,are apt to
surge intone's mind when an earthquake thrill makes the footing insecure.
o
Again he felt that strong quiver be-
neath his feet. t
Then it suddenly dawned upon hint
that some unknown person was endea-
voring 10 raise a board in the cabin
floor.
There, was., after all, a cavity or held,
beneath, and a means of' reaching it
from' the cabin; but the .stigticioue
enemy had inken possession of it flesh
and thus shattered any dreaties he may
have indulged in. -

of the wretched past had been freely and
fully forgiven; and that henceforth she
would look upon him as an honored
and trusted friend.
It were well worth enduring many
times whathe had gone . through le

dence of so charming a woman. •
He experienced a solid satisfaction,
such as had probably never come to him
before in that other day when, urged on
by jealousy " and ° malice and envy, he
had conepired to rob Dr. Jack of his
wife as -well as his 'fortune:
Lord Beckett was well aware, how-
ever, that the present was no time to
iridulge in these reflections; "" his work,,
although thus far successful to ed re-
markable degree, cotild not by any
means be regarded as completed -in-

started.

require it. ..
So Lord Ilackett thrust' a hand deep
into one of 'his pockets.
Larry did likewise. ; •
„
These hands came out holding extra
oartridges.
"Load 1” said Plympton. -
There was a succession of clicking/
sounds and a tossing aside of empty
brass shells -then both cylinders Were
freshly charged, andethe new power, had
been plaeed at their disposal.
Now we can nonsider what may be
done to further our escape," said
Plimpton, gravely.
"I3y Jove 1 what dye think of that,
now?" snapped Ltirry, as he suddenly
threw up an arm and discharged his
weapon in the directibel of a cabin win-
dow where the wriggling figure of a
Chinese pirate could, .be eeett pushing

not intend to give up theeship or call

• Acting upon this impulse he had stoop-

the neck ere he could recover sufficient,
ly from his stupefaction to dodge.
Net understanding _this philanthropic
action on the part of the big 'English-
man, the yellow fellow began to wriggle
and squirm after the manner of a ser-
pent,' doubtless under the mistaken no-
tion that he could in this way slip out
of the clutches of hie master. ,
A less muscular man would have lost

Evidently if there were other fellows be-

fate that so suddenly befell their leader,

Plympton begged Avis to secure some

he wrapped his captive in it, arms at
his sides, until he was little better- than
a mummy.
"Let them only come one at a time,
and we will soon have the whole gang
in limbo; but I fear they have taken the
alarm, and mean to try other Methods,"
was what he said.
There was a reason -for his belief.
Already sounds came from the direc-
tion of the dors, .sdunds that indicated
a 'gathering of the clans• in that quarter.
Lord Beckett had faith in the bar, but
still it was not irresistible, and the crew
.01 the junk might yet find some -means
of clearing away this stout barrier to
their progress.
Indeed,„ they appeared to be working
Uponthat theory at the present mo-
ment.. , -
Bang!
Lord riackett uttered an exclamation.
He had seen the effect of this concus-
sion on the doors, and realified that it
would not take a very great number of
such blows to weaken, aye, utterly de-
molish their barrier.
There wag no mystery about it at all.
,The Russian diplorhat had gone back
,,to 'antiquated methods of warfare, but
whichlinder certain conditions were just
as efficacious to -day as in the times of
the stone -throwing catapult.
A fragment of mast or spar:had been
obtained, which, put 'in action by the
Chineeewas being made to do duty as

Such an eliject in the hands of men
entirely greateand used for such a pur-
pose, is mightier than the sword.
It looked tie though the temporary
security which had been achieved
through the, strategy of the two friends
was about to be .shattered and "give way
once more to the stir of battle. . -
Lord Ratekett'a first thought was in the
direction ef strengthening the doors, but
he almost immediately realized how ut-

Then it became &Went that a meeting

feed this for several days, after which
we bake corn bread or johnnie cake,
which is simply corn meal mixed with
either sweet 'milk or water and a very
little salt, and thoroughly baked. Title
