He also pays a visit to the han- gar of a daredevil aviator, Braine and members of.his band sur- round I3argreave'e home at night, but as they enter the house the watchers outside see a ballon leave the roof. The safe ie found empty—the million which Liargreave wee known to have drawn that, day gone. Then some one announced the ballon had been punot- ured.and dropped to the bottom of the see lorence arrives from the girls' school, Princess Olga, Brain's corn - ',anion visite and claims to be a relat- ive. Two bogus detectives call, but their plot to kidnap .Finrenre and hold her for ransom is foiled by Norton, a newspaper mac. By bribing the captain of the I Orient Norton lays a trap for Braine and his gang. Princess Olga also vis- its the Orient's captain and she easily • fella into the reporter's snare. The plan proves abortive through Braine's good luck, and only hirelings fall into the hands of the police. After failing in their first attempt, the Black Hundred trap Florence. They ask her for money, but she es- capes, again foiling there. Norton and the countess call on Florence the, next day, once more safe at home. The visitors having gone, Jones removes a section of flooring, and from a cavity rakes a box. Pur- sued by members of the Black Hun- dred, he rushee to the water front and succeeds in dropping the box into the sea. Braine conceives the idea of giving a coachingpartyto whichFlorenceis invited. Joes and Noton bothgo along and are fortunately on hand to save Florence from being imprisoned in the country house to which she is lured. , r F1oreptfce goes horseback riding and ►�,.,eaptured by one of Braine'e tnen sXong the roadside. Norton rescues her. They are pursued, however, and the pair make their complete escape only after Norton has exploded a tire on the fast approaohing machine with a bullet. Countess Olga, scheming to break the engagement now existing between Florence Hargreave and Norton, in- vites them both to her apartments and pretends to faint in the reporters arms Florence appears in the doorway just, at the planned moment. and as a re- sult gives Norton back her ring, Accomplices of Braine succeed in kidnapping Florence while she is shop- ping, and hurry her off to sea. Norton receives a wireless later informing him that the girl bad leaped into the sea end been drowned. Florence is picked up in a dazed con- dition by a party of fishermen. The Black Hundred locate her, and Braine, disguised as her father succeeds in taking her back to sea with him. Florence seta fire to the boat and is res- cued by a ship on which Norton has been slaughtered. Nortcn and Florence, safely ashore, and with no longer any misunderstand- ing between them, take the train for home. The train is wrecked, and wait- ing members of Black Hundred carry t be injured Florence to a deserted hut. Norton, who tries to restents her, ie tied to the railroad tracks.

You who crave adventures on high Yeas, you purchase" a ticket, a steam, er chair, and a' couple of popular me Vele. go on board to the blare of a very indifferent braes band, and be- lieve you are adventuring; when,' els a matter of fact, you are about to. spend a dull weekor fortnight on a water hotel, where the most exciting thing is the bugle's can to meals or the discovery of a card shark in the smoking room. Take a real ship, go as supercargo to the South deaf, take the side streets of the ocean; and learn what it can do with hurri- canes, typhoons, blistering calms, and men's souls, There will be adven- ture enough then. If you are a weak- ling, either you are made strong, or you die. An honest ship, but run down at the heel, rode at anchor in the sound, a fourth -rater of the hooker breed; that is, her principal line of businois was bawling barges up and down the eoaet. When she could not pick up. enough barges Co make it pay, why, she'd go galavanting down to Cuba for bales of tobacco or over to the Bermudas for the heaven -smelling onion. To -day e;he was an onion ship; which precludes any idea of adventure. She was about 4,000 tone, and her engines were sternward .and not amidehip, She carried two matte and a half dozen hoist booms, and the only visible sign of anything new on her was her bowsprit. This was new doubtless because she had poked her nose too far into her last slip. Her crew was orderly and tract. able. There ware shore drunks, to t e sure, because they were sailors; bi.t they were a peaceful lot withal. At this moment they were at work. They moved about briskly, for they wore on the point of mailing for the Baha- mas—perhaps for more onions. Pre• eently the windlass creaked and shrilled, and the blobby links, much in need of tar paint, red as fish gills clattered down into the bow. Some- times they painted the chain as it came over; but paint was costly. and this was done only when the anchor threatened to stay on the bottom. There was a sailor among this crew, and he went by the name of Steve Blossom; and he was one of his kind. A grimy dime novel pro- truded raekiehly from his hip pocket, and bis right cheek was swollen as with the toothache, due, probably, to a generous "chaw" of Seaman's De- light. He was a real tobacco chew- er for he rarely spat. Be was ae• peaceful as a blackwater bay, iu sum -1 mer ; non -argumentative and pas- sive, he stood his watch in fair weather and foul. No one gave the anchor any more attentionafter it came to rest. The great city over the way was fairy- like in its hazinese and transparity. It was the poetry of angles, of shafts, and spars of stone; and Steve Bios- so -n. having a moment to himself, le tned against the rail and stared r 'gretfully. He had been generous- ly drunk the night before, and it was a pleasant recollection. Chance led his glance to trail down the cutwa- ter. His neck stretched from his col- lar Like a turtle's from its shell. "Well, I'll be hornswoggled!" he murmured, shifting his cud from starboard to port. Caught en the fluke of the anchor was the strangest' oking box he had ever land eyes on. There was leacher and steel bands and diamond-shaped ivory and mother of pearl, and it hung jauntily on the point of the rusty fluke. Anybody would be horns - wriggled to glimpse much a droll jest of fate. On the" fluke of the old wudhook, by a hair, you might slay.. In alt the wild sea yarns he had ever read, or heard there was nothing to match this. Treasure? And Steve was destined never to be passive again. His first impulse was to call his companions; his second impulse was to say nothing at all. and wait for an opportunity to get the' box to hie hunk without being detected. Treasure! Diamonds acid rubies and pearls and old Spanish gold; all hanging to the fluke of the anodes: ' Ilornewoggledl in a kind of a ve- to 46 reliever this tittle. "An' we a- headi .' for th' Bahama!" F.tr urs der his feet be could bear the rhythm of the engines. "What'll I do? If I leave it, some one eive'I1 pee ir," He scratched his chin perplexedly; and the oud went back to starboard. 'I got it!' He took off hie coat and carefully dropped it down over the mysterious box, it was growing darker of d darker all the time, and shortly neither coat nor anchor would be vide able without close scrutiny. Trea- sure; greed, cupidity, crime. Steve lay only the treasure and not ite camp followers What did they Ball them? doubloons and pieces -of - eight? He ate his supper with his wises mates, and he ate heartily as usual. It would have taken something more vital than mere treasure to disturb Steve Blossom's appetite. He was one of those enviable iodivlduals whose imagination and gastric juices work at the same time. And while he ate he planned. In the first place, he would buy that home at Bedford;. then he would take over the Gibson house and live like a lord. If he wanted a drink, all he'd have to do would be to turn the spigot or tip a bottle; and more than that, he'd have a bartender to do it. ()alone! He swore be would not have an onion within a mile of the Gibson House. "Onions" Quite unconsciously he spoke this word aloud. "Hub? Well, if ye don't like on- ions, find a hooker ,that packs violets in her hold," wait the cheerful advice of the man at Steve's elbow, "Who's taikin' t' you?" grunted Steve. "Whit' did I say?" ''Delano, ye lubber! Don't we know whet onion, is? Ain't we smelt *ens so. long that ya could stick yer nose in th' starboard Tight an' never smell no kerosene?. Onionel Pass th' .eawfry." Steve helped himself !lest The man who spoked bunked over him, and they were not on the best of term•. There was no real reason for this frank antagonism; simply, they did not splice any more .effectually than cotton rope and hemp splice. Sailors are moody and euperatitiou.; at least they generally are on hookers of the "Captain Manners" breed. Steve was superstitious and Jim Dunkers wan moody and had no thumb on his left hand. Steve hated the sight of that red nubbin. Ile was quite certain that it had been a whole thumb once, on the way to gouge out somebody's eye, and had inadvertently connected with somebody's teeth. Spanish doubloons and pearls and diamonds and rubies! It was mighty hard not to say these words out loud, too; blare them into the sullen faces grouped about the table. He was off watch till midnight; and he was won- dering if he could get the box with- out attracting the attention of the lookout, who had a devilish keen eye for everything that stirred on deck or on water. Well, he would have to risk i'; but he would wait till full darkness had fallen over the sea and the lookout would be compelled to keephis eyes off the deck. The boys wanted him to play cards. "Not for me. Busted. How Iong d' y' think $10'11 last in New York, any- how?" And he stalked out of the forecastle and went down into the waist to enjoy his evening pipe, all. the while keeping a weather eye for- ward at the natty old house. It was 10 o'clock, land time, when he rammed his cutt•y into a pocket and resolutely walked foward. If any one watched him they would think 1 e was only looking down the cutwater. The thought of money and the rte te- ares it well buy makescunning the stupidest of dolts ; and Steve was ordinarily a dolt. But to -night his brain was keen enough for all pars poses. It was a hazardous job to get the box off the fluke without let- ting it slip back into the eee. Steve, however, -accomplished the feat, climb- ed back en the rail' and sat down :waiting. A quarter of an hour passed. No one had seen him. With hie coat secureiy wrapped about hie precious find he made for the forecastle. His mates, save those who were doing their watch, were all in their bunks, An oil lamp dimly illuminated the forward partition. Save a bunk was almost in darkness. Very deftly hr rolled back the bedding and secreted the box under his pillow and then stretched himself ont with the pre - fence of enoc zir g till the bell calls d Mia to dlty. - Ile was rich; and the moment .a roan has money he has trouble..; there 1 al sat s ,come one who wants, t • t ke it away from you.

(Continued on page 6) War and Literature A few words to sensible men, If you were enlisting for active service you would be very anxious that your life insurance policies were in good shape, and would be willing to pay a much high- er premium for an additional policy.' This would be wisdom on your part, but are you sufficiently insured if you stay at home? At the battle of Gettysburg, the blood- iest of the civil war, the loss of life was 65 out of 1,000 men engaged. This menses that a man. aged 49 has no more chance of livipg to 63 than a soldier had of com- ing out of Gettysburg alive. Take the first Bull Run battle and we find that the proportion of deaths was equivelant to the ordinary mortality among men from ages 26 to 91. The Mntual Life Assurance Co. of Can- ada will assume this risk for you at a very low premium on the popular Term Life plan. See us for particulars.
