Newspaper Page Text8 Cyn t h ia-of-the-M mute Copyright 79// By Louis Joseph Vance (Continuation of Chaptar XTXU.) “It has struck me once or twice." Cynthia suggested. “that his accent •was a wee bit too careful —a trifle overdone.”. "Whereas a true British accent is a xare thing—and precious one?" Critten den laughed light-heartedly. "True for you. However, well soon kn<jw every-, thin® good for us to know. Now, thenl” They broke for the last time from the sheltering trees and for the last time trod- those incredible, painted sands. Before them, on the incredible, paint ed waters, the dull gray launch, like an ugly duckling, was floating without per ceptible motion, its engine stilled, its ensign drooping in laxy. stirless folds. Halfway between it and the shore a tender was driving in at the vigor ous propulsion of four long oars work ed by two sturdy, white-clad oarsmen. In the stern were two passengers, one a youthful-looking, well set up officer of his majesty's navy, the other an un dersized. round-shouldered little figure of a man in a steward's white coat and nondescript trousers, a little man whose carriage and sharp but friendly grin were peculiarly Acklin's and not to be mistaken By the time Cynthia and Crittenden had reached the water’s edge the sailors had shipped their oars and the dingy was gliding in over the rapidly shoal ing waters. As the keel grated the oars men jumped out, bare legs splashing, and seizing the thwarts ran the bows well up on the dry beach. The officer rose, stepped forward, and jumped out. cap in' hand, with clear eyes in a bronzed face flashing admira tion of Cynthia. "Miss Grayce. I believe?" he said pleasantly, with the clear and indi vidual enunciation of the British. "And Mr. Crittenden?” He bowed to the one. formally, and with more of a suggestion of impulsiveness extended bis hand to the other. “I'm glad to meet you sir." he said, as Crittenden's palm touched his. “Mr. Macklin has been telling me the story of your ad ventures. I beg pardon—l should have Introduced myself; 1 am Lieutenant Gathorne-Bell of the Admirable—pro tected cruiser of the Fourth squadron, xttached to the Bermuda station.” "Heaven knows.” said Crittenden. "I'm glad to meet you: I never expe rienced a pleasure more pleasant or more unexpected. . . . Hello. Ack- itn. he said, in tun offering his hand ' to the Cynthia's late' steward. "Macklin now, if you don’t mind, Mr. j Crittenden, " returned the other, shak ing hands heartily. "Ive resumed the M wth the aitches.” And in fact the elimination of the Cockney accent seemed to have made quite a different to whom he has previously figured man of him. at least fw the eyes of those treatment Jjgrafl and I 1 ILLUSTRATED I ■< KT IH I i ISS™ MED I CAL m, SB ■ ■ I book JU** 11VI* I IlMml [ a 1 MVtmWV.II' /%^^//////V\ F^\^^^ a^^',l ' >a^, -*- i --' J,c '"T'' t "• i V\v \ x«sSv X\a \vi«l V?i 'l rskill.;-': science j advice }experience FXxWwMWiW ffl IMjH|^^Ml^^^^^^n^ l 9 NE - s TY/-L*KNowLEpGE; W ill M IQ INTELLIGENCE £q ijXXSX;\yw® . .* \\\\ v fc wli.'

May I con gratulate you on your successful swm , ashore?” "Thank you.” the girl told him: and, Mr. Macklin, she added with apparent difficulty. "For the sake of my sanity, pease.” Crittenden begged, aughing. "explain yourself—yourselves, for that matter!" “I don’t wonder you're bewildered.” Macklin commented, stepping to Cyn thia’s side, courteously to take and place over her shoulders the light, angle-long silk wrap she had removed from the parce—with a silgh of grati tude for Madame Sa varan's fore thought.. “Not a great deal to explain, either." added the lieutenant. "Your message was picked up night before last by a t’nited Fruit boat and passed on to us —by wireless of course.” "Thurlow to save his neck,” Macklin interposed; "Lobb and Perez would have killed him if he hadn’t. In vented that excuse for sending out that message, even though you had him covered. ... Oh, didn’t Miss Grayce tell you?’ he broke off in defer ence to Crittenden’s blank expression. "Never mind, then; only Thurlow did pretend he’d cut down the wave radius to nothing—or something of the sort. I don’t know enough about wireless to sav whether it was possible; and the others were equally ignorant—too stpid to question his statement. Any way. he got away with it.” "We were about halfway between here and Bermuda when we got the message,” Gathorne-Bell resumed—"the squadron wgs on practice cruise, you know. The Admirable was at once detached—and made the mouth of the channel, here, about four this morning. A message of inquiry our wireless sent out, for word of you. was picked up by the Cynthia’s operator a little earlier, it seems, and gave them the alarm. . So they tried to beat us to blue water, and walked right into our arms shortly after daylight. We have orders to take both vessels with their crews to Bermuda, there to await instructions —whether to ship the pris oners to England for tWal or extradits I them to America. It’s a nice question, 1 I’m afraid, whether or not the Cynthia i and Orion were taken on the high seas . or within British waters; and of what, precisely, you—l moan the ringleaders— are guilty’**,. . ■ x .

"are to consider ourselves under arrest, ' like all the others?’’ "I’m afraid so, Mr. Crittenden.” .the Englishman assented. "But you'll hardly | notice it, I premise you; and Mr. Mack- [ Itn’s standing and testimony ifre prelty! sure to get you off in the end, seot- > free." "But who the d-deuce—l beg pardon—, is Mr. Macklin, anyway?” Crittenden ex- ' ploded, to that gentlemans amused face. ‘ 4 "Pinkerton sleuth.” said Macklin with | his quaint smile. "Madame Savaran got ’ suspicious enough to apply to us for protection, and I was . put on the job. We failed to fix on anything definite j enough to warrant stopping the Cynthia | before she sailed, so 1 had to scrape ac-> qualntance with Rhode and get the stew-j ard's job. So you needn’t wonder ary longer why she trusted me with the jew elry.” "You’ve got them safe, 1 see,” he add ed with a nod to the life belt over Crit tenden's "and such being the case I’m sure we’ve no further excuse for detaining Lieutenant Gathorne-Bell. It’s a good long sail back to the Adimir able. and a hot one. We'd better he mov ing along.” The Englishman turned to Cynthia, of fering a .hand to help into the boat. "If Miss Grayce is quite ready—?” said he "May I be privileged to assist the brav est lady I ever had the honor of meet ing?” Chapter XXX. THE SENTIMENTAL SCAMP. With a word of thanks Crittenden re turned the bulky tomb of the tele graphic code to the clerk of the cable company, and moved ooff toward the door, wagging his head incredulously as for at least the tenth time he re compared the code message in his right hand with its deciphered transcript in his left. Then, as he reached the threshold of the office, his manner that of one aban doning a thankless and unsolvable problem, he thrust both papers into the breast pocket of his white linen suit and plunged heedlessly from the shad ow of the room—by contrast, a spot of cool refuge—into the blinding glare and heat of the sun-smitten waterfront of Hamilton, Bermuda. Descending to the stone landing stage for the small craft of‘ the harbor, he beckoned in one of the hovering flock of watermen, dropped into the stern seat of the man’s cumbersome rowboat, and named his destination;, ignoring entirely the steamship moored at the quay, in which he might have been ex pected to show some slight Interest, since it had brought in that morning the extradition papers by virtue ot which the consiprators of the Cynthia were presently to be deported to New York. Crittenden was altogether preoccu- pied with a fresh development in his fortunes, information of which had been conveyed to him by the cable message in his pocket, and had as little heed for the towering stem and swelling i freeboard of the steamship, on which I he was presently to leave Bermuda to i play his part in the trial, as he had ' for the black, shining face and knotted. ' naked arms of the negro waterman who I sat facing him, his huge, barrel-like i chest expanding and contracting like j bellows, with the strain, of hip laboring at the long sweeps. •’ ■ Once clear of the Pembroke shore, , the boat swung across, the placid har bo? ttoward the cacti-rftudded rocks of . Salt Kettle; but as it drew nearer kept ; off to the right and worked on down the Paget shore toward the lands of the ! Tribe of Warwick—Crittenden sitting in profound abstraction, his head bowed against the intolerably brilliant ana ’ dazzling reflection of the westering | sun that blazed its walse in liquid tlame > upon the peacock waters. In the course of some twenty min utes the boat at length drew in to a private landing stage. Crittenden fum bled in his pocket, found some coins, and with the air of an absent-minded capitalist dropped them all, copper and silver alike, into the broad, pale, cal loused palm of the negro. Then, in different to his voluble thanks, and probably insensible to the fact that he had overpaid the fellow by several hun dred per cent, he leaped ashore, mount ed a winding, rocky path, crossed the highway and entered the grounds of the small semi-private hotel where, with Cynthia and Madame Savaran, he was domiciled. Now his habit became markedly less pensive and more alert and spirited. Though the hotel itself was situated on the brow of the hill, not less than two hundred feet above the harbor, and the ascent to it was long and steep, he moved briskly, looking about him with quick glances that vainly explored the aisles and vistas of the cedar-clad slopes—vainly, since they encountered nothing resembling the beloved object of their desire. About halfway to the top, however, he came suddenly round a perfumed coppice upon a solitary idler, half-re slining upon a rustic seat. “Macklin!” he cried, pausing. "Hello! What are you doing here —all by your lonesome?” The erstwhile steward of the Cynthia sat up with some, evident surprise, grinned broadly, rose and shook Critten den's hand, and resumed his lounging posture. "Loafing.’’, he said, senten tious, playing with a cigarette. "I brought Rhode over; he wanted to have a talk with the old lady, and I got per mission for him, on (tie understanding that I’m responsible for his return. Not that he has any show in the world of getting away.” "No,” agreed Crittenden, pausing for breath against the resumption of his climb: “that’s true. - A prisoner has a mighty slim chance of escaping from Bermuda. . . . What’s new?” "Nothing you oughn’t to know by this time. You knew that the extradi tion papers came through this morn ing?” “Yes.” "Well, we’re off next Wednesday. 'Presume you knew that, too?” "T heard as much. How's Claret?” “Oh, he's all right,” saiil the detec tive with a grunt of disgust. “You can’t really hurt that type of thug. He's as full of hell already as a kid is of mischief. Good thing you’re not going back on the same boat; he'd lay to get you, if he hung for it. Perez and Lobb aren't so vindictive, though you’re safe in assuming that neither of 'em loves you to death. Going?” Macklin added av Crittenden betrayed symptoms of a de sire to continue the ascent. He con sulted his watch, announcing with a show of surprise: "It’s getting late. Tell Rhode I’ll give him twenty minutes more. I don’t want to go home in the dark.” “I’ll tell him,” Crittenden laughed. "Good night.” “So long. I’ll be over before 'we sail, for a final confab. Give Miss Grayce my respects, please,” Macklin called after him. "Night.” Crittenden moved on. still with inquis itive eyes prying eagerly into each nook and corner of the grounds, receiving on the way an impression that the hour was really later than he had suspected, whose thoughts had all been taken up with other matters since receipt of his cryptic cable message, abcut mid-after noon. Now there was a slant of ruddy burn ing sunlight through the trees, a soft ened tone in the long, eastward stretch ing shadows that stencilled the velvet lawns, a hint of evening coolness in the air. . . . Drawing near the topmist terrace of the hillside, he became aware of voices: a conversation largely (it's true) domi nated by the sharp, incisive, but not un pleasant accents of Madame Savaran, only now and then broken in upon by the windy, incoherent rumbling of Rhode's bass. Presently he discovered ihe couple be neath a Pride-of-India on the lawn, at a discreet remove from the hotel veranda: Madame Savaran sitting quite erect in. the mature splendor of her toilet of the evening, her handsome, finely mod eled head held high, eyes scintillant, nos trils distended with the lust of conflict, her language playing like heat lightning round the head of her unhappy son-in law; Rhode crouching low In a wicker lounge-chair, his dejected head bent for ward, chin on breast, immense red hands grasping the arms of the chair, an ex pression of profound and melancholy helplessness adumbrating the rich color of his carven face, petrous eyes twin knobs of blue despair. Catching sight of Crittenden, he stirred and sat up. with a movement of anticipatory relief. Madame Savaran likewise changed her position, moderat ing the inflexible if semi-humorous an tagonism of her attitude toward Rhode She beckoned the younger man with a sweeping and vivacious gesture of her cane. “Come here,” she demanded sharply. “It seems to me you've been an unrea sonably long time, away.” Crittenden, by this time accustomed to and father amused by the old Kidy’s domineering habit, smiled indulgently as he came up and put himself into a chair near the two. But Rhode groaned dis mally. "That's right,” he commented in a hol low tone. “Go on. Treat him like a son in-law, too. He can’t help himself, either: he's only a poor, lone, defenseless man.” "Be quiet, ingrate,” madam counselled him acidly. “Oh, I say!” Crittenden interposed jn the interests of peace. “Can’t you hold off the dogs of war until you hear my news? I've great news, honestly. Where's Cynthia?” “Upstairs. dressing,” madame in formed him. “What is your line news, pray? , . . Unless”,—with a curling lip—'‘you intend to keep it to yeurself until that pert chit deigns to favor us with her presence.” "By no means,” said Crittenden hasti ly. “Only—l wanted her to know. I think she'll be glad. ... I received a cablegram this afternoon.” "So I understand,” observed madame “And you promptly rushed off without telling any one what it' was about” “I’m sorry, but I didn't know my to go to the office to find a code book. It was from my agent. Wroy; the man self. You see, it was in code, and I had who handles my plays in New York. The story of our adventure must have been cabled home: I presume the newspapers have been full of various conflicting accounts.” “Do you call that good news?” “No. madame, I merely mentioned it as a surmise to account for the fact that Wroy knew my w-hereabouts—knew where to address me. ... At all events, he's placed my last play on ex cellent terms with one of the best and squarest managers in the business. Best of all, from a point of view based on my present very impecunious state, he has screwed a whopping big advance cut of the fellow. He required only my ratification by cable to close the deal and deposit money to my credit at the bank. That’s going to help me a lot, I so I ventured to present my insignifi cant person to your distinguished con ! sideration as a fit subject for congratu i lations.” “Good work,” growled Rhode. “I’m sure I’m very glad,” Madame the first kind words that has got past ; her lips this afternoon. Honest.” Madame preened and began to fan herself complacently. “Why should I I cast my pearls before such as you, George?” she inquired delicately. i Savaran told Crittenden warmly. Again Rhode roused a little out of his disconsolation. "Believe me or not, .as you will,” said he earnestly, “them’s Rhode smote the air with an em | phatic red hand. “That's just the way | she's been goin’ on ever slnst I blew in here!" he declared. “Can you blame me. Mr. Crittenden?" the old lady entered, in her own • de fense. “Am I not justified in express ing my indignation when I discover I have warmed a viper in my bosom these many years?” "If you mean me,” her. son-in-law ex postulated heatedly, “you never—” "Be quiet—dolt! Kvcr since 1 have known him he has been deceiving me, Mr. Crittenden. Do you blame me for feeling exasperation?" "But how have I deceived you? Now igo on and tell," insisted Rhode. "You started this. Now go on and tell how i I’ve been deceiving you!” "Simply by seeming to be what vou ; were not.” countered Madame readily, i “For years I have nursed a sneaking and unworthy admiration for you. (George: you seemed, you made yourself out to be. such a thorough-paced black guard. without a single redeeming fea ture. that I actually liked you for the flaw less perfection of your unmorality. And now. at this late day. you choose jto reveal yourself for a hypocrite: you show me that beneath the placid mask :of your iniquity, you are. after all. and have always been, a man of some feel ing. with a heart and sensibility to human emotions—sentiment, generosity, even—God save the mark?—a rudimen tary sense of humor.” "Mebbe.” Rhode addressed Crittenden, transfixing him with a hopeless stare, “you know what she’s talkin’ about. I'm damned if I do. But let it rave, let it rave!" Madame Savaran drew herself up with a dignity that went far to conceal the twitching of her fine mouth. "I sha'n't stay here to be insulted.” she remarked, rising. “I’m going up to And Cynthia. No, please. Mr. Crittenden,” she insisted when the young man, on his feet, offered to e«Cort her to the > door—one of the • old-rashioned atten tions to which she had shown him she was fond. “I wish you to stay. This beast of a son-in-law of mine has something to say to you. I will send Cynthia to you to hear your good news, as soon as .she’s dressed." She lingered an instant, perking her head on one side, and surveying Crit tenden witli eyes of affectionate malice. "I'm not sure T ought to,” she pursued. “The child is far too good for.you. But still, you are rather a presentable young man, and—though I daresay you’ve pulled the wool over her eyes—l think you're probably as decent as most. In deed’’—and here she menaced him mis chievously with her cane—“if I wero not in love with Cynthia—and she fond of you—and if I were not the mother in-law of that full-grown hulk of ras cality there, I'd be almost tempted to marry you myself.” “That's right.” Rhode snorted. “Go on. Scare him to death.” “Oh. I don’t know.” Madame Sav aran tossed a prideful head. “I’m sure he might do worse. There's a perfectly good proverb about old fiddles." And. chuckling, she withdrew with all the honors of war, her cane contemptu ously spurning the turf she trod. With a brief laugh Crittenden resum ed his chair, finding and lighting a cigarette, Rhode sighed exhaustively, produced an extensive handkerchief with a broad border of bright pink, mopped his face with it, and sighed a second time and veritably like a furnace. “Whew-ew!” He glanced askance at Crittenden, fumbled nervously in his coat pocket, and brought forth a tremendous black cigar. “Bad quarter of an hour, eh?” asked Crittenden, amused. “Bad?” The Red Man worried off the end of the cigar with his teeth and cast it from his mouth with a vicious hiss. "Bad!” He rolled his head wearily from shoulder to shoulder. "My boy, my boy!” he observed with a falling in flection. "There’s a limit to all things, and madum’s it on two legs and a cane. She’s just been goin’ round me. and round and round and round, like a cooper round a barrel—bang, bang, bang! with the hammer. Gee-e! I'm .sore all over.” He paused to rake a match beneath his thigh and light the cigar. "Still,” he conceded, less passionate ly. “we ' gotta make allowances for a woman. All women are crazy.” “You’ve said that before.” “I know; but it’s like all them —what d’you call ’em?—epigrams: if there’s any solid truth in ’em, they’ll stand a lot of repeatin’. . AU women are crazy. The more times I say it the more I realize it’s one of them im moral truths. . ; ". Not that there s any real harm in women. Only they ain’t sensible, like men. Now you take inadum: she don’t mean bad. I’m strong for her, if we do fight, and she’s al ways been pretty strong for me in her way—except when I come through with a piece of work that’s so coarse it’s gritty. Yes. . . . Did I ever tell you I was married?” “I believe ypu did mention It once; Madame Savaran said you deserved to be.” “I guess there's somethin' tn that. too.! not that I had any kick cornin’ about the matrimony thing, while it lasted. I liked it. Honest, you wouldn’t believe how much I liked it.” He turned, staring stonily at the cloud bonnet sunset that burned like some vast celestial holocaust above and beyond the low, swelling hills of Somerset.

Smoke of Herbs Cures Catarrh A Simple, Safe, Reliable Way and It Costs Nothing to Try. This preparation of. herbs, leaves, flowers and berries (containing no to bacco or habit-forming drugs) (s eit'eer smoked in an ordinary clean pipe or smoking tube, and by drawing the medi cated smoke into the mouth and inhaL ing into the lungs or- sending it out through the nostrils in a perfectly nat ural way, the worst case of Catarrh can be eradicated. E| It is not un- ' pleasant to use, and at the same time it is entire ly harmless, and cap be used by man, woman or child. Just as Catarrh Is contracted by breathing cold or dust and germ laden air, just so this balmly anti septic smoking remedy goes to all the affected parts of the air passages of the head, nose, throat and lungs. It can readily be seen why the ordinary .treat ments, such as sprays, ointments, salves, liquid or tablet medicines fail —they do not and can not reach all the affected parts. » If you have catarrh of the nose, throat or lungs, choking, stopped-up feeling, colds, catarrhal headaches; if you are given to hawking and spitting, this sim ple but scientific treatment should cure you. An Illustrated book which goes thor oughly into the whole question of the cause, cure and prevention of catarrh will, upon request, be sent you by Dr. J. W. Blosser, 51 Walton street, At lanta, Ga.' He wHI, also, mail you five days’ free treatment. You will at once see that It is a wonderful remedy, and as it only costs one dollar for the regular treat ment, it is within the reach of everyone. It Is not necessary to send ahy money— simply send your name and address and the booklet and free trial package will be mailed you immediately. ( Advertisement. 1 YOUR HEART a Does It Flutter.
