Detective Sheehan stood on the shore pointing a revolver directly at the heads of the cousins. "Heavens! I feared tills!" gasped Prank. "He knows that I own this house and the motor boat, nnd he Is following us. Lie down In the bottom of the boat, Reginald,” he commanded. “You are the one he Is after." With his hand on the lever of the motor Frank parleyed with Sheehan. "What Is the matter. Joe?" he said. "What are you flourishing that thing around like a crazy.man for?" "You know what I am after," return ed Sheehan grimly. "I don't bear you any III will, Mr. llrncebrldge, for that little knock you gave me In the tun nel. but It Is my turn now. Bring that young fellow peaceably ashore or 1 will nhoot.” Frank touched (he lever and at tho same moment Hung himself down be side the motor .so that no portion of Ms body was visible above the boat. "Shoot nnd be hanged to you,” he called back grimly. The motor boat leaped like a grey hound held In leash and skimmed over the water like a living thing. Sheehan took Frank at hla word. Ping! ping! went the bullets from Ills revolver. They all struck the boat, for Sheehan was a good marksman. But the swiftness with which tho boat was moving and the shelter af forded Frank and Reginald by tho ma chinery kept the cousins from Injury, although one of the bullets came with in a quarter of an Inch of Frank’s head. "Now for a race such as was never run before,” said Frank. "Sheehan will guess that we are bound for your father's house and he will have the village ofllclals watching, while within an hour the best detectives In this city will bo storming the doors. "Now for It,” he said, turning to the motor. "This will beat everything In action except a fast nutomoblle. It will take Sheehan some time to get there If he depends upon the telephone* and the cars. We must trust to fate, anyway, .Reginald. It la a close shave, no mat ter how you look at It.” The bont flew merrily over the wa ter. Frank at the lever with act teeth, watchful eyes and muaclea of ateel. He muat get the last ounce of endu rance out of the stanch little vessel, and yet not risk a breakdown. Meanwhile on the shore Detective Sheehan looked at the empty revolver ruefully and at the disappearing motor boat menacingly. The Pursuit. "I wish I knew where you were bound for. my lads," he said. "Hut 1 will take a chance on that old house of Bruce- bridge's, "But- how to get there," lie mused. "The residents of that place go to bed at 8 o'clock every night. There Is no chance to get uny of them out and tell them to watch the house. There Is no train going there until morning. "There Is no possible way of getting out there except by automobile, and I expect It will be an hour before I will be able to scare one up at this time of tile night. But It Is worth trying." Saying this, Sheehan turned to walk briskly down the street. Before long he was startled to hear shouts above him. "Ho, there, Bheelian,” called a voice which he knew. "As Heaven Is above me, It Is Mike Loftus," he said. He hurried up to tho source of the voice. There sat Loftus, lllttlnger, Kane nnd a foreign-looking stranger In u magnificent touting car.

"Tumble Into the machine, Sheehan," answered Loftus. "We will talk as we go. Which way did they go?" Explanation. The foreign-looking man started the auto. "To your right, up the boulovard, Schmidt, straight ahead," said Loftus briefly, then turned In explanation ,Jo Sheehan. "Dr. Schmidt, who attended young Bracebridgc's wife, happened along In hla motor car past where we were watching the Braeebrtdge house. "The sergennt sent Barnes down with word that some one had telephoned In that you hail followed them down here, and for us to come to your aid." "Yes, I told Banks to do that." re turned Sheehan, "as 1 rushed out of the tunnel.” “Dr. Schmidt offered the services of his automobile,” continued Lottos. "We ought to be able to catch them, said Sheehan. "Nothing else would do, however, except this car. That motor boat It the pride of Bracebrldge's heart, and It la a hummer. I tell you." The auto sped on through the silent streets. The city lay hushed and si lent before them. A few other belated autos passed them on their way, and occasionally they met a cah with sleepy drlvor.

A Stern Chase. Out on the broad blue bosom of the Sound the mdtor bont In which Frank and Reginald Bravebridge were flee ing for the life and liberty of the younger man, shot through the asure waters like a living thing. Occasion ally they saw a stsomer In the dis tance, once In a while a belated fish ing smack or an adventurous row boat crossed their path. The moon- llrh* glittered on the waters In a way to throw a lover of nature Into an ecstasy of artistic delight, but neither of the cousins was In a mood to think of beauty. Frank’s eyes were flxed upon *hc lever with which he controlled tho boat; Reginald's eyes were flxed on Frank with the expression of a hunted dog. On and on they flew, while If they had but known It, at first far behind them, then nbreost, and then slowly forging ahead, the automobile contain ing th, detectives ran a parallel couitie to thetrs. But, luckily for the self-control of the men In the boat, they knew noth ing of the automobile. Frank dread?}' a possible motor car, but If he had known that a real one had started at the same time hit boat shot out he would never have attempted to reach his goat. But he did not know tt, and It was with a feeling of relief that he saw at last the high wooded bluffs of tho suburb loom black In the moonlight. He ran the boat Into a little cove, moored It and jumped out, pulling Reginald after him and speaking aharwiy: "We must run for.lt, boy." A Refuge. Up a flight of rough steps cut Into the bluff and partly hidden by creep ers. he hurried, then down again Into one of the deep ravines that add to the picturesque beauty of the suburb. In the side of the ravine, overhung with vines, was a rough door. Frank took out a key. opened It. and, pulling Re-lr.nld after him. disappeared wlth- 'n It. He closed and ricked the door. Down a long passageway the cousins PROFESSOR RICHARDSON’S SCHOOL (The Atlanta Select) for boys nnd girls opens ninth term on first Wed nesday In September In his own building, at 300 Spring street.

"I used to wonder where It went, but father said It didn't lead anywhere; that It was put there by mistake and had been nailed up." "No time to talk now. Reg,” hla cousin admonished, sharply. They hurried up the stairs, arousing Hud son, who came toward them with a revolver held In his hand. "Don't shoot, Hudson,” said Frank. Hudson nearly dropped the revolver. “You Spoke just In time,” he said. "I thought you were burglars." "There Is much trouble, Hudson," was Frank’s reply. "There probably will be some men Inquiring for us In u few minutes. You must pretend to be Just aroused from sleep. You must stick to It that you have not seen us und parley with them as long as you can. They will finally break down the doors. Do not resist them, for they are officers, but keep them as long as you con from gaining entrance." "I'll do my best, sir.” Then Frank hurried Reginald up stairs to the room that had always been closed to him before. He threw open the door with an air of solemnity-' "You are going to see one of the secrets of the Bracebrldges," ho said. Tho Airship. Before Reginald was the most cu rious room he had ever seen. The en tire roof was open to the sky, but a taut canvas, drawn to 4he four cor ners and fastened along the sides, kept dampness and storm out and was ar ranged so It could be flung aside al most Instantly. Upon a raised plat form Just below this canvas roof was a curious machlno with propellers and queer looking shafts. It looked like an Immense bird, and In Its large- body Reginald noticed a tiny cabin-llke space In which there were scats for four persons. “What Is this, Frank?” gasped Regi nald. 'It Is an airship, my boy,” explained Frank. "Your father worked on It all his life and bequeathed to me the se cret that enabled me to perfect It." •Will It workn "Perfectly,” . returned Frank. “I made one short trial trip In It' the night I was called to New York on your account. I had Just returned and was exulting In my success when I was Interrupted by the telegram from Barker. 'This ship was built for far another purpose, Reginald. Only by Its means can the task of the Bracebrldges be accomplished; only by this can the curse which Is upon us be lifted. But Just now it must serve us." He rolled the canvas from the roof by a few swift, dexterous movements. He turned the cranks of the airship and got It ready to start. 'Take your seat In It, Reginald,” he said. Reginald climbed Into one of the little seats. Frank followed him. He had his hand upon the lever ready t. start. Out of the silence below came the "shug! chug!" of ,'in automobile.
