Chapter -XI 'Continued
TLo door opened, anil the immacu
ate proprietor of the iiail came noise
osslv Into the room. II!s eyes nar
owcd when they fell on the strangers
here.
"Are you Manuel Gonzale?" Minot
leuiandcd.
"I—am." The sly little eyes darted
everywhere.
'•Proprietor of the Mail?"
•'Yes."
"The gentleman wlio visited Lord
Barrowby an hour back?"
"Man. man! You're wasting time."
VNeill cried.
"Excuse me." smiled Minot "Unin
entlonal, I assv.re you." lie seized thi>
Ittle Sfaniard suddenly by the collar.
'We're here for Lord Harrowby's let
ers," he said. Ills other hand began a
■apid search of Manuel Gonzale's poek
its.
''I.et me go. you thief!" screamed tho
>roprietor of the Mall. He squirmed
ind fought. "Let me go!" lie writhed
ibout to face his editors. "You fools!
iVhat are you doing, standing there?
Iclp me—help"—
"V.'e're waiting." said O'Neill.
'Waiting for our turn. Remember your
>romlse, son. Enough of him left for
lie."
Minot and his captive slid back and
orth across the floor. The three others
vatched. O'Neill in high glee.
"Go to it!" he cried. "That's Mme.
ji; I>;t you're waltzing with. I speak
'or the next dance, madame."
Mr. Minot's eager hand came away
'roui the Spaniard's Inner waistcoat
jocket, and in it was a packet of per
'urned letters, tied with a cute blue
•ibbon. lie released his victim.
"Sorry to be so impolite," he said
'But I had to have these tonight"
Gonzale turned on him with an evil
rlare.
"Tiiierr* lie cnea. "in nuve tee m«
>n you for this."
"I doubt that," smiled Minot. "Jack,
guess that nbout concludes our busl
less with tbe Mall.'" Fie turned to
lowe and O'Neill. "You boys look
ne up at the De la Tax. T want to
Nish you bon voyage when you start
lortli. For the present—goodby."
And he and I'addock departed.
"You're a fine pair." snarled Gonzale
Then the doer had closed. "A fine
>alr to take my salary money and then
itand by and see me strangled."
"You're not strangled yet," said
5'NellL lie came slowly toward his
anployer, like a cat stalking a bird.
'Did you get my emphasis on the word
yet?""
Gonzale paled beneath his lemon skin
ind got behind a desk.
"Now, boys." he pleaded, "1 didn't
nean anything. I'll be frank with
:ou—I have been a little indiscreet
lere. But that's all over now. It
vould be dangerous to try any more—
deals at present And I want you
o stay on here until I can get new
nen In your places."
"Save your breath," said O'Neill
hrough his teeth.
"Your work has been excellent—ex
cellent," went on Gonzale hastily. "I
'eel I am not paying you enough. Stay
m with me until your week Is up. I'll
five you $100 each when you go. 1
Till give you my word I'll attempt
lothing dangerous while you are here.
He retreated farther from O'Neill
"Wait a minute, Bob," said Howe.
'No blackmailing stunts while we
itay?"
"Well—I shouldn't call them that"—
"No blackmailing stunts?"
"No—I promise."
jL'JSXurjy."..wailed the militant O'NeilL
"What's IB? TnSttef wlttf yoiV? Wfi
ousht to tbrnsb him—now—and' —
"Go back on the roud?" Howe In
quired. "A hundred dollars each, Bob.
It means New York In a parlor car."
"Then you will stay?" cried Gonzale.
"Yes, we'll stay," said Howe firmly.
"See here"— pleaded O'Neill. "Oh,
what's the use? This dolce far ulente
has got us."
"We stay only on the terms you
name," stipulated Howe.
"It Is agreed," said Gonzale, smiling
wanly. "The loss of those letters cost
me a thousand dollars—and you stood
by. However, let us forgive and for
get. nere—Mme. On Dlt's copy for to
morrow." Timidly he held out a roll of
paper toward O'Neill.
"All right" O'Neill snatched It "But
I'm going to edit it from now on. For
instance, there's a comma I don't like.
And I'm going to keep an eyo on you,
my hearty."
"As you wish," said Gonzales hum
bly. "I—I am going out for a moment''
The door closed noiselessly behind him.
Howe and O'Neill stood looking at
each other.
"Well, you had your way," said
O'Neill, shamefacedly. "I don't seem
to be the man I was. It must be the
sunshine and the posies. And the
thought of the road again."
"A hundred each," suid Howe grimly.
"Wo had to have it Bob. It means
New York."
"Yes." O'Neill pondered. "But that
good looking young fellow, Harry—the
one who apologized to us for calling us
blackmnllers"—
"Yes?"
"I'd hate to meet him on tho street
tomorrow. Five days. A lot could hap
pen in five days"—
"What are your orders, chief," asked
Howe.
At that moment Minot, followed by
Paddock, was rushing triumphantly
hito the Harrowby suit He threw
down on the table a package of let
torn
Minot and His Captive Slid Back and
Forth Across the Floor.
"There they are!" he cried. "I"—
lie stopped.
"Thanks," said Lord Ham why wild
ly. "Thanks a thousand times. My
dear Mlnot, we need you. My man has
been to the theater. Trimmer Is or
ganizing a mob to board the Lileth!"
"Board the Lileth?"
"Yes—to search for that creature who
calls himself Lord Ilarrowby."
"Come on, Jack," Mlnot said to Pad
dock. They ran down several flights
of stairs, through the lobby and out
into the street.
"Where to?" panted Faddock.
"The harbor!" Minot cried.
As they passed the opera house they
saw a crowd forming and heard the
buzz of many voices.
Mr. Paddock knew of a man on the
water front who had a gasoline launch
to rent, and fortunately it happened to
be in commission. The two young men
leaped into it, Taddock started the en
gine, and tbey zipped with reassuring
speed over the dark waters toward the
lights of the Lileth.
"My plan Is this," said Mlnot when
they got to the ship. "Turn George
over to us. We'll bundle him Into our
launch and run off out of sight behind
Tarragona island. Then let Trimmer
search to his heart's content. When
he gets tired and quits signal us by
hanging a red lantern In the bow."
Martin Wall smiled broadly.
"Not bad for an amateur kidnaper,"
he said. "Will I turn George over to
you? Will a duck swim? A good
idea."
In the kldjuplng George put up a
lively fight. Once ho slipped and fell,
his three captors on top of him, and at
that moment Minot felt a terrific tug
ging at his coat. But the odds were
three to one against George Ilarrowby,
and finally he was dragged and push
ed into the launch. Paddock started
the engine, and that odd boat load
drew away from the Lileth.
Hours passed and no red light from
the Lileth. It rained in torrents.
"I'd give a thousand dollars," said
Paddock, "to know what's going on
aboard that boat"
CHAPTER XII.
Wall Puts to Sea.
HE knowledge would hardly
have been worth the price he
offered. Aboard the Lileth, on
the forward deck under a pro
tecting awning, Mr. Trimmer sat firm
ly planted in a chair. Beside him, In
ot)ier chairs, sat three prominent citi
zens of San Marco—one of them the
chief of police. Mr. Martin Wall was
madly walking the deck near by.
"Going to stay here- all night?" he
demanded at last.
"All night and all day tomorrow," re
plied Mr. Trimmer, "if necessary.
We're going to stay here until that
boat that's carrying Lord Harrowby
comes back. You can't fool Henry
"There Isn't any such boat!" flared
Martin Wall.
"Tell It to the marines," remarked
Trimmer, lighting a fresh cigar.
Just as Well that the three shivering,
ligures huddled in the launch on the
heaving bosom of the waters eould
not see this picture. Mr. Wall looked
out at the rain and shivered himself.
Eleven-thirty came. And 12. Two
matches from Mr. Paddock's store
went to the discovery of these sad
facts. Soaked to the skin, glum, silent,
the three on the waters sat staring at
the unresponsive Lileth. The rain was
falling now in a fine drizzle.
"I suppose," Paddock remarked, "we
stay here until morning."
"We might try landing on Tarra
gona," said Mlnot.
"We might try Jumping Into the
ocean, too," responded Paddock
through chattering teeth.
"Murder," droned poor old George,
"that's what it'll be."
At 1 o'clock the three wet watchers
b«held unusual things. Smoke began
Hi) belch from the Lileth's funnels. Her
ilren sounded.
"She's steaming out!" cried Mlnot
"She's steaming out to sea!"
And sure enough the graceful yacht
began to move—out past Tarragona Is
land. out toward the oDen sea.

TO KILL THE DANDRUFF GERM,

An Elective Core.
If you see a woman or a man wltn lux
uriant glossy hair, you may be sure nei
ther nas dandruff to amount to anything.
In nearly every case where women and
men have thin brittle hair, they owe It
to dandruff. There are hundreds of prep
arations that "claim" to cure dandruff,
but not one but Newbro's Herpicide tells
you that dandruff is the result of a germ
burrowing into the scalp, and that per
manent cure of dandruff and its conse
quent falling and baldness, can only be
had by killing the germ; and there is nc
other preparation that will destroy that
germ but Newbro's Herpicide. "Destroy
the '•ansQ. and you remove the effect."

Maids of the Mist.
The old Maid of the Mist passed
through (he Whirlpool rapids once.
She was built originally to cruise about
in the comparatively quiet waters at
the foot of Niagara falls. Becoming in
volved in debt and being threatened
with seizure, her owner tried to escape
with her through the rapids and did so,
though she was badly battered and lost
her smokestack. This happened ill
1864, and she never tried to ascend the
rapids. The name, given by Sir Walter
Scott to the heroine of "Anne of Geior
stein," has been taken by succeeding
boats which cruise about the foot of
the falls.
Free Trip For Him.
"The best thing about this trip," said
the retired merchant as he lay back
luxuriously in the comfortable chair
on the porch of a twelve dollar a day
botel, "is that it is not costing me a
cent."
"How's that?" asked an envious
spectator.
"It's all coming out of what I'm go
ing to leave to my heirs," said the
man, smiling happily.—St. Louis Post
