Tho two newspaper men, unaware that
they are on a blackmailing sheet, get big
salaries. Minot cleverly gets Gabrleile
Rose out of town.
Chapter XII • Continued '
Once more Paddock started liis faith
ful euglne, and, hallooing madly, the
three set out in pursuit. Not yet had
the Llleth struck Its gait, and hi fif
teen minutes they were alongside.
Martin Wall, beholding them from tlio
deck, had a rather unexpected attack
of pity and stopped his engines. The
three limp watchers were taken aboard.
"Wha—what does tills mean?" chat
tered Minot
"You poor devils!" said Martin Wall
"Come and have a drink. Mean?" He
"She's steaming out to seal"
paused. "It means that tho only way
I could get rid of our friend Trimmer
was to set out for New York."
"For New York?" cried Mliiot, stand
ing glass in hand.
"Yes. Came on botird, Trimmer did.
searched tbe boat and then declared
I'd shipped George away until his visit
should be over. So he and his friends
—one of them tho chief of police, by
tbe way—sat down to wait for your re
turn. Gad; I thought of you out In
that rain—sat and sal: and sat What
could I do?"
"To Trimmer, the brute!" said Pad
dock, raising his glass.
"Finally I had an idea. I had the
boy3 pull up anchor tind start the en
gines. Trimmer wanted to know the
answer. 'Leaving for New York to
night,' I said. 'Want to come along?'
lie wasn't sure whether he would go
or not, but his friends were sure they
wouldn't Put up an awful howl, and
Just before we got under way Mr.
Trimmer and party crawled into their
rowboat and splashed back to San
Marco."
' "Well, what now?" asked Minot
"I've made up my nlnd," said Wall.
"Been Intending to go back north for
some time, and now that I've started
I guess I'll keep on going."
"Splendid," cried Minot "And you'll
take Mr. George Harrowby with you?"
Mr. Wall seemed In excellent spirits.
He slapped Minot on the back.
"If you say so, of course. Don't
know exactly "what they can do to us,
but I think George needs the Bea air.
Uatxt ohmif if tiaijh l/xi'cLtihln V.*
Poor oid George, drooping as he had
never drooped before, looked wearily
Into Wall's eyes.
"What's the use?" he said. "Fight's
all gone out of me. Losing Interest in
what's next Three hours on that
blooming ocean with the rain soaking
In—I'm going to bed. I don't care
what becomes of me."
And he sloshed away to his cabin.
"Well, boys, I'm afraid we'll haYe to
put you off," said Martin Wall. "Glad
to hare met both of you. Some time
in New York we may run into each
other again."
lie shook hands genially, and the
two young men dropped once more
into that unhappy launch. As they
sped toward the shore the Lileth, be
hiud thein, was heading for the open
sea.
"Sorry if I've seemed to have a
grouch tonight," said Paddock as they
walked up the deserted avenue toward
the hotel. "But these Florida rain
storms aren't the pleasantest things
to wear next to one's skin. I apolo
gize, Dick."
"Nonsense," Mlnot answered. "Old
Job himself would have frowned a bit
If he'd been through what you have
tonight. It was my fault for getting
you into it"—
"Forget It," Paddock said. "Well, it
looks like a wedding, old man. The
letters home again and George Har
rowby headed tog New York—a three
days' trip. Nothing to hinder now.
Have you thought of that?"
"I don't want to think," said Mlnot
gloomily. "Good night, old man."
Paddock sped up the stairs to his
room, which was on the second floor,
and Minot turned toward the elevator.
At that moment he saw approaching
him through the deserted lobby Mr.
Jim O'Malley, the house detective of
the De la Pax.
"Can we see you a minute in the of
fice, Mr. Mlnot?" he asked.
"Certainly," Mlnot answered. "But
—I'm soaked through—was out In all
that rain"—
••too baa, - saia UAiauey, witn a
sympathetic glance. "We won't keep
you but a minute"—
Ho led tlie way. and, wondering,
Mlnot followed. In the tiny office of
the hotel manager a bullet headed man
stood waiting.
"My friend, Mr. Huntley of the se
cret service," O'Mallev explained. "Aw
ful sorry that this should happen, Mr.
Minot, but we got to search you."
"Search me! Tor what?" Mlnot cried.
And in a flash he knew. Through
that wild night he had not once thought
of it But it was still in bis Inside
coat pocket, of course. Chain Light
ning's collar!
"What doe3 this mean?" he asked.
"That's what they all say," grunted
Huntley. "Come here, my boy. Say,
you're pretty wet. And shivering!
Better have a warm bath and a drink.
Turn around, please. Ah"—
With practiced Angers the detective
explored rapidly Mr. Mlnot's person
find pockets. The victim of the search
stood limp, helpless. What could he
do? There was no escape. It was all
up now. For whatever reason they de
sired Chain Lightning's collar they
could not fall to have it in another
minute.
Side pockets — trousers pockets —
□ow! The inner coat pocket! Its con
tents were In the detective's hand.
Mlnot stared down. A little gasp es
caped him.
The envelope that held Chain Light
ning's collar was not among them!
Two minutes longer Huntley pur
sued; then, with an oath of disappoint
ment, he turned to O'Malley.
"Hasn't got it!" he announced.
Minot swept aside the profuse apolo
gies of tlio hotel detective and some
liow got out of the room. In a daze,
lie sought 389. He didn't have it—
iidn't have Chain Lightning's collar!
Who did?
It was while he sat steaming in a
hot bath uiat an idea came to him.
The struggle on the deck of the Lileth,
with Martin Wall panting at his side!
rhe tug on his coat as they all went
Sown together. The genial sprits of
Wall thereafter. The sudden start for
New York.
No question about it—Chain Light
ning's collar was well out at sea now.
And yet why had Wall stopped to
take the occupants of the launch
aboard?
As completely at sea as he had been
that night, which was more or less at
sea, Minot returned to his room. It
was after 3 o'clock. He turned out
his lights and sought his bed.
The sun was bright outside his win
dows when he was aroused by a knock.
"What is it?" he cried.
"A package for you, sir," said a bell
boy's voice.
He slipped one arm outside his door
to receive it, a neat little bundle, se
curely tied, with his name written on
the wrappings.^ Sleepily he undid the
cord and took out—an envelope.
He was no longer sleepy. He held
the envelope open over his bed. Chain
Lightning's collar tumbled, gleaming,
upon the white sheet!
Also in the package was a note,
which Minot read breathlessly:
Dear Mr. Minot:
I have decided not to go north after all,
and am back In the harbor with the Llleth.
As I expect Trimmer at any moment I
have sent George over to Tarragona Island
In charge of two sailormen for the day.
Cordially,^ MARTIN WALL.
P. S.—You dropped the Inclosed In the
scuffle on the boat last nlglit.
At 10 o'clock that Saturday morning
Lord Harrowby was engrossed In the
ceremony of breakfast In his rooms.
For tho occasion he wore an orange
and purple dressing gown with a floral
design no botanist could have sanc
tioned—the sort of dressing gown that
Arnold Bennett, had he seen it, would
have made a leading character in a
novel. He was cheerful, was Harrow

copy of the London Times he made
a trail ire noises in liia throat, under .tha
impression "that'he was humming n

entered.
"Feeling pretty satisfied with life,
I'll wager," Minot suggested.
"My dear chap, gay as—as—a robin,"
Hnrrowby replied.
"Snatch your last giggle," said Mi
not. "Have one final laugh and make
It a good one. Then wake up."
"Wake up? Why, I am awake"—
"Oh, no, you're dreaming on a bed
of roses. Listen! Martin Wall didn't
go north with the impostor after all.
Changed his mind. Look!"
And Minot tossed something on the
