Mary, having lost eight of both Sir Anthony and Coco, had followed the road down to the harbor. There, under the btaslrig sky. with the populous blue water at her feet, and the gleaming masses of-white buildings around her, and In the distance nun-blanched beachea and the palma clustering on Pelican Island, she walked anxiously to and fro amid the yelling bustle of the thousand activities of the quay. What could ahe do but wait? She regretted that ahe had no longer her masculine disguise. So concealed, would ahe not have followed and out distanced Sir Anthony—yes, and per haps done more than he? She lacked confidence In Tony. He was a dear, good, vain fellow, but he Inspired everything except trust In his ability to meet a crisis successfully. She could not conceive him as a match for Walter Pollexfen, and she was even troubled by vague feHra for his per sonal safety. If only Oxwlch hod been at hand! At that very moment she caught sight of Oxwlch, who like her self was perambulating uneasily to and fro near Careenage. He saw her, too, and camo hastening toward her. He was clearly perturbed. "Excuse me. Miss Pollexfen." he said, raising his hat and stopping directly In front of her. "Do you know where Sir Anthony Is?” ”1 don't,” she replied. She fell un able to explain to Oxwlch that Tony waa puraulng Walter Pollexfen through the mazes of the town. The Idea seemed somehow ridiculous. “Do you want him particularly, Oxwlch?" "Well, miss," he said gravely. "The White Rose has come In. That’* all." "The White Rose?” sho breathed. He nodded. "Came In an hour ago or more, mlsa. We must have passed her during the night." "Where Is she?" He pointed northward Into the dis tance of the bay. "That gray thing.” he said, "with one funnel and no masts. I Just met that Medical Officer person and he told me. Where shall I And Sir Anthony, miss?” "Oxwlch," she almost wept. "I don't know. But he can't he very far off." And she ended by relating to him what had happened at the Ice House. Oxwlch paused, reflectively. "There's one thing to be said, miss," he observed at length. "If Mr. Walter Pollexfen la ashore, the White Rose can't be very dangerous, can she? How would you tike me to go and have a look at her? "You mean at once?" “I mean at once, mlaa. Supposing Mr. Masters to be aboard, miss, and Mr. Waller Pollexfen out of the way —you see—miss—" "I must go w ith you. Oxwlch." "Certainly, miss.” Most men. she thought, would have tried to dissuade her from the enter prise, but Oxwlch was not as other men. On the whole ahe decided that ahe had not often met an Individual ao solidly baaed In human common aenae as Oxwlch. And here, on the quay, he was less the valet than usual. Indeed, her heart counted him n fellow crea ture. "The launch?” "Yes, miss. It's dntyn behind here," nnd he led the way. The launch lay safe and secure where they had quitted It earlier In the morning. But It waa deserted. A faint vapor rose from Its narrow, brass fun nel, and a slight heat quivered over the machinery, but otherwise It was lifeless. In vain they gazed along the quay In search of one of the members of the Wanderer's crew, nnd then down Into the Interior of the launch as If by mere force of desire they could make it active and subservient to their needs. The launrh without some one who understood Its magic was futile, nnd though Its entire desertion was doubtless contrary to Captain Ohct- woda’a orders, that desertion was none the less n fact. Oxwlch accepted the situation at once. • We must hire a boat, mlsa," he de cided. And ted the way to where a group of red-cushioned white boats, each pre sided over by a darky sucking sugar cane, swayed gently, humping In the shallow diamond-pointed water. A scarcely perceptible emotion of Oxwlch'* finger set the fleet In a roar. 'Star of Barbados* you want, ear.” No, no. Massa want de Pearl." 'Go 'long will de Pearls; gen'man calls for the Water I.lly." "You man dar, go 'way, go 'way, I say: Massa signaled me. Yea, ear; coming, sar: de Ocean Spray, sar." "Call me, Massa. I know you. Massa. You often been In Flying Fish today. Quite a lady’s boat, sar." 8n tha verbal strife continued, until Oxwlch hail actually set foot In the Flying Fish and was giving a respect ful hand to Mary to help her to em bark. Then the turmoil expired as ab ruptly os it had arisen nnd the Flying Fish sped away under Oxwlch's guid ance. Such was the burning glare that It was Impossible to gaze open-eyed at either the wnter or the sky. But the nigger, oarsman In his ragged white (lulled a rapid, powerful stroke and managed ulso to maintain a continu ous whining monologue, an unceasing Jet of Information concerning the har bor, the uniqueness of the Flying Fish, the movements of liners and men of war. the rules for approaching the fever hospital on Pelican island, and a thousand other matters. Mary glanced feverishly, not daring to raise her sun-veil and resting her eyes from lime to time on the dark red of the cushions of the boat. Ox wlch was by her side In the roomy stern sheets, but at a proper distance. Presently he took a pair of eyeglasses from his pocket, lit a match and smok- d them. "Excuse me, miss.” he said apolo getically, assuming the pince-nez which had been htz aid when In less crowded hours he studied the Encyclopaedia Brltannlca. "Easy,” he commanded the boatman. They were within a couple of hun- amali and rather un tere?" Her voice shook. "Yes, miss," said Oxwlch, succinctly. “Thank heaven It Is! A nice surprise we Bhall have for Sir Anthony, think .Mr. Masters has recognised us— you, I mean, miss.!’ And then to the boatman, "Go ahead, Boy. 1 The figure on the deck of the yacht waved a hand In a gesture that seemed to resemble a gesture of adieu, and dl* appeared from view. "He'll meet us oo-the gangway, mlas.' said Oxwlch. "Pull with your left, boy; with your left—not your right.” But the gangway. Was slowly drawn Up by hands Invisible from the boat. "What doea that mean?” Mary ask *d nervously, "\V# shall soon know, miss," wa# Ox- wlch's reply. The Flying Fish grazed the side of th* yacht, which towered high above. Ship ahoy!” yelled the nigger In a cornet blast. • No answer. "White Rose, ahoy!” Again no answer. But near the boat, out of a vent In th* battered side of the steamer, water suddenly burst forth and poured Id a regular stream as thick as a man's arm, splashing Into the sea. Th* effect wa* uncanny.. Mr. Masters!” cried Oxwlch lotldly, standing up. No answer. Nothing but tit* out pouring of waste water. The boat elowly made the circuit of the ship, passing by the empty dinghy, and around the taut anchor chain; and they discovered nothing. Repeated' shouts availed naught. Th* ‘steamer might be uninhabited, abandoned. cursed. There waa no means of boarding her; the gangway being horlsontal Just out of reach. You are siire that was Mr. Mas ters?” Mary murmured, her throat dry. "I am quite sure, ml**." "Then what are we to do?" "We are to go back Vizbors. miss, and report, if that la agreeable to you," said Oxwlch with terrible solemnity. When they arrived at the Careenage they found a group comprising Sir Anthony. Mrs. Appleby and Horace, anil Horace was waving a handkerchief to the occupant of a boat that had Just left the quay. Horace plunged Into a recital of how tha occupant of the boat had saved his life with a revolver. Tony, a* he handed Mary out the Fly ing Fish,, asked anxiously where she had been. "To the White Rose,” ehe said. Tony's face was a study, and a pain ful line. He had to describe his late doings ns best he could. He finished by stating without conviction that the stranger whom Coco had mistaken for Walter Pollexfen was going over to the Rhine nnd would return In twenty minutes, ns the Rhine was about to sail. "But the Rhine Isn't about to sail, Sir Anthony," said Oxwlch. “She's only Just com* In from St. Vincent. And what's more, he Isn't heading for the Rhine. It seems to me he's heading for the White Rose." In Oxwlch's tone disgust had triumphed over the valor In him. Thff party on the Careenage had the pleasure of seeing the boat with Its occupant merge Into the distant mass of the White Rose, and then the White Rose weighed her anchor and leisure ly departed from Carlisle Bay. Almost at th* same moment Coco, breathless anil disheveled, arrived. His activities had been as sterile as Sir Anthony's.. To flnlsh. It wns discovered to be Impossible to coal that day. The light- ers were all engaged. But late In the evening a watcher on the deck of the Wanderer observed a moving train of phosphorus that gleamed and sparkled on the dark water like a host of ma rine fireflies. It had come slowly southward from a point where lights Indicated vessels at anchor, and It was approaching the Wanderer. It could only signify the passage of a boat. It drew nearer.-and there was heard the sound of cautious oars, and then a voice. A boat touched the Wanderer's gangway. "Who Is It?" demanded the watcher, fearfully. "Who la there?" "It Is I," rosa the answer from the water. "Masters.” chapter* XXVIII An Ambassador. The white figure of Mary Pollexfen, 1th black velvet belt, and black also at th* wrists, stood leaning anxiously forward at the head of the gangway, one hand on th# rail and the other at her heart. Below, In the deep shadow* of the yacht’s side, the swaying oval of a small boat wns vaguely silhouet ted against the sea’s wavy phosphor**-' cence. In th# boat two forms could he discerned, and one of these uprose, detaching Itself from the dinghy, and mounted cautiously the steps. Mary put out a hand In Impulsive welcome and caught the hand of Philip Mas- ter*. He reached the deck and she still held his hand, and they peered silently Into each other's face al close quarters; the crescent moon waa obscured and some tracts of stars, too, and the lan terns on the yacht’s mast threw only a feeble gleam. * "Then you did not sail away In the White Rose?" ahe murmured at last. "Yea," he whispered, "but the yacht has put back.” "What for?” ahe Inquired, In sudden fear. "Coal." it seemed as If something compelled them to speak In an undertone. Their voices were tense, constrained. The yacht’s deck stretched somber and de serted about them, the bridge dimly outlined over their heads. No one on board appeared to be awake save them selves. but a radiance from the skylight of the main saloon gave hint of life below. A little pause emfied. Mary could feel her heart beating violently, nnd she w ondered what thoughts were passing through his brain as he front ed her In the midst of the vast myste. rious southern night. You have escaped!" she breathed at length. "I knew you would! Yet this morning—" Perceiving that she had forgotten to ose his hand, she loosed tt, as though it had been hot metal. "I have not eecaped,” he muttered, dred yards of „ ......... . .... n kempt, vessel across whose stem could I "“*5i p nmv hp iilainlv Hpplnhprfd tha leirend: i ficaped . now be plainly deciphered the legend: “Wljlte Hope, London.” She wa* * wing ing round to the flood tide.

A solitary figure hung, apparently in Untie** attitude, over the stern rail f the White Rose. Presently thf* fig ure could be discerned to raise a ma rine gla** and examine the Flying Ft*h. ■‘Easy ahead,” *ald Oxwlch. “Yes. *ar, ye* Hart” droned the oar*- an. “You want me to hall dl* ship?” “No,” *ald Oxwlch. looking at Mary Hot Weather Trips via Cen tral of Georgia Railway— Summer Excursion Tick ets.

I did not mean to see you. It was Tony that I wanted to But I'm glad It wa* you who met me. Tre mendously glad. I see now that I can talk to you better than to Tony. And yet a moment ago I fancied I should be ashamed to face you. As a matter of fact, I am. But I don't care. It'a ao splendid to see you like this.” “Ashamed?" she queried. “Ashafned to meet me? What do you mean?" "Listen." And he related to her the Interview on the Thames that had ended In the compact by which he had saved his life. "So it was for money, after all, that my villainous uncle did It!" she said fiercely. Ah! If " She broke off and remained silent. "Well?" he pressed her. "It wa* shameful compact I made? I ought to have taken the risks, oughtn't I? I have often thought so since. I have con nived at a crime! I'm what the law yen call accessory after the fact." "You did right," ehe said slowly, thousand times right. If you had re fused the offer you would only have Increased our sorrow to no purpose. Some men would have sacrificed their live*; they would have been brave, but they would have been more foolish than brave. Whereas "Whereas I was cowardly and sensi ble." he put In. She drew back with a proud gesture. “Don’t talk so," she protested. "Don't laugh at me. I can't bear It. If ever there woe a brave man, you are one. Do you Imagine that I can't appreciate all the moral courage It demanded on your part to do an unconventional thing? Do you Imagine I don't under stand that It needs less courage to do the correct stupid thing and die, than to act wisely and live?" "Thank you," he said. “You are kinder to me than I could have been myself. Thank you.” See!" she broke forth. "If you of. fer me thanks I shall—I shall cry. I Is I who have brought you Into this trouble. What you have done you did out of sheer sympathy for me. And what can 1 give In return? It Is I who should go down on my knees to you.' She stopped, seeming to gasp, and re sumed in another and quieter voice. "He confessed, then?" "Yes. He confessed. But he swore he didn't mean to murder." “But Varcoe. Didn't he mean to mur. der Varcoe 7' He argued that Varcoe's case was different.” “What do you think of him—my uncle?” He has a voice like yours,” said Philip simply. "Is that all?" "It la enough." "You haven't told me about this morning?" She gazed at him In tender reproach. “Could you not have thrown us a word—one word ? You do not know what distress we have been suffering." "A word would not have sufficed.' said Philip. "In any case you could not have come on board. He had given orders. How could I have preached to you In your boat from where I was? No, I did the one thing that I could do. Besides, perhaps I was g little ashamed of my situation, ashamed of being alive under the circumstances. I have be. come nearly Intimate with that mur derer, you know. It sounds brutal. But I have. There waa no alternative. Fourteen days on a yacht! And him the - master! What would you have? I'll be honest—there have been mo ments when I’ve almost forgotten that he was n criminal. The situation was extraordinary, very extraordinary.” "I can understand,” she said softly. And what Is done Is done!" « "If I hadn’t become, as It were. In tlmate with him." Philip continued, I very probnbly shouldn't be here now. He would never have let me come. And more tragedies might have hap. pened. You know I'm a very human person, and after all I'm not sorry I’m alive. I want to be useful. That’s why I’ve come—like title." "But after your promise to him, how can you be useful to ue?" she asked. "You say you gave your word to do nothing either directly or Indirectly against him." "Of course,” he answered. "You may be sure that If he thought I should work against him he wouldn't have allowed me to leave th* yacht. Nor should 1 have asked permission.' "Then?” "I don’t quite know how to explain to you " he stall mered. "What?" she demanded. "Have I not proved to you that I am capable of un derstanding? Tell me at once why you are here, If It is not to help us.” There was that In her voice which com manded. "Your poor father Is dead," Philip re sponded, speaking quietly and nerv. ously. "Forgive tne—but nothing can bring him to life. HI* money Is gone, but you do not want his money. The past Is the past. As you said Just now, what Is done I* done. Are you a believer In capital punishment? I am not. Are you ready to Judge and be Judged? I know I'm talking strangely. Rut my object le to suggest to you on board this yacht that you abandon Mr. Walter Pollexfen to his own devices— that you don't trouble about him any more. There! Now you have It!" He sighed heavily. "With a man like Walter Pollexfen against you." Philip went on, “the risks you arj running are tremendous. “ ' He's demonstrated that quite sufficient al ready. Nearly anything might happen. It’s quite equivalent to a war—Tony dogging him like this. He's afraid. He knows n lot, but he doesn't know all. He Isn’t sure If the police here haven't been cabled to from London. He got a pretty severe sort of a shock today when he found himself sitting beside you and Tony on the balcony of that restaurant—oh! He told me all about And so lye's afraid. Hence he agreed to my suggestion that I should move over and urge you to go back to England and—and forget that ht had arrived In-th* West Indies on a secret errand.” Is It for our sake* or for his that you come, Mr. Ambassador?" said Mary coldly. "Fan you ask?" said Mary coldly. "Can you ask?" he returned deso lately. "I cam# solely because I wish to avoid the possibility of—of 1 don’t know what. Call it a few more murder# If you like. And I would ask you to remember that no matter what occurs, I have given my word to Wal ter Pollexfen. I may have bought my life too expensively. In spite of what you say. hut I hare bought It, and with my word the purchase la completed. And 1 can't ask Pollexfen to give me the price back again. He'd refuse." "Perhaps." Mary said with an effort, you had better talk to Sir Anthony. This Is his yacht. I'm only a guest." "But you came!" he exclaimed eager ly. "You came! You came to help to find me!" "It waa a suggestion of Mrs. Apple by's." she explained In an even voice. BRYAN IK 'ORLEANS! GIIESTJT BANQUET Great Commoner to Speak in City Park to Louis iana Voters Special to The Georgian.
