The bout breaks down and Bopp ts m»

Mrs. Green suddenly phones tnat sns

Vlda out of mischief wtns a proposal

Mrs. Green phones that & strange man

then the phone won't work again. Loelke
phones the sheriff on the mainland.
A reporter Invades the island to writ*

"Can't?" I repeated far surprise^
"Why can't you?"
"Because I've got my thumb over the
keyhole and there Is a woman on the
other side trying to peek through!"
1 grabbed the lamg from the table
and held It so the full light feU on his
face.
"Lij^ton S. Clair!" I exclaimed.
"I admit that I did noC expect to be
recognized In this island wilderness,"
he began pompously, careful to' gestic
ulate, however, only with hlr fwe
hand, "but why should I not b« here
as well as anywhere else?"
"Because when I saw yoc last yo«r
were going to swim to the mainland." "
"Who are you?" he demanded hi tarn,
trying to sea past the light whleh 1
held in front of me.
"Montmorency Blalney," I replied.
"Tea, yes; I understand" ThWi sod

doorway. "Is that woman-— my fiancee

"I found the swimming a trifle more
strenuous than I hajl expected," he be
gan. "I discovered that it war prac

rummage around until* I foood some
thing to eat and some dry eJothM.
"As soon as I opened the door i
saw that I had committed a social
blunder. There was a woman stand

saw me she screamed and: ran through'
this door, slamming and lodcinf it aft-'

some of the food I found an the ta
ble there when I heard thar key being
carefully withdrawn from the lock on
the other side. Quick ar a flash t
asked myself the question, "Why dff
people withdraw the keys from locked
doors y The answer struck me in
stantly. 'So that tirey may look,
through the keyhole*, of course*' I
recollected my costume. With ooe

. "OachI Stop!" he yelled. Jerking his
thumb away and dancing up and down
frantically.
"Whatbaa happened?"
"She jabbed a pin into my thumb.
Tin bleeding to death. Put your
thumb over the keyhole a minute 'while
1 swear."
I wa« about to do that, foolish aa it
was, when than was the sound of a
rifle shot somewhere outside, and al
most simultaneously the lamp which
I held fill apart In my hand and crash
ed to the floor.
"Ha, ha, ha!" laughed BUI Johnson
la the darknesa. "I see the yoke now."
"What, happened P Clair asked.
"Some one shot out tho light"
"What for?"
•leant linagin®."
Any farther conversation was cut
sheet by a ecatterttg fusillade of shots,
some of whfclt came through the win
dow, as ww couM 'tell by the tinkle of
glass.
"This Is a regular attack." Clair may
have been an egotistical ass, but I
must give-him credit for not showing
fear under lire. "What shall we do?"
CHAPTER XV.
A Disappointed Sheriff.
"AS we have no weapon with
fjL which to flght back, 1 suppose
tfe had better surrender," said
Clair. Suddenly the fusillade
ceased, and a moment later a voice at
thfcdoor exclaimed: "Resistance is use
less.- ©very corner of the room Is cov
ered. John, show a light!"
X buQsaye flashed.
"Do you surrender?"

"Btrfora I move out of this'place,"

bafre some clothes."
"All light, eon," soothed the sheriff;
"there ain't any call to get hectic
about It 81," tumtng to one of the
others, "see if there atnt some old
clothes In "that closet In the hired
heln's' room."
81 departed -and soon returned -with
a garment known in history as a

"This Is all I could find," SI report
ed. "The Huntlngdons' help was a

"That'll do," the sheriff sr.ld briefly,
tossing It to Clair. "Put this on ■with

Clair thought of protesting, but was
overcome by the idea of the woman
In the next room and hastily donned
the garment, which was cut on lines
designed to cover any sort of figure
which nature could turn out. The ef

startling, to say the least.
"Before we go." the sheriff decided,
"wo had best have a look at the re
mains." To me he said: "Where is
the deceased? Where is Mrs. Green?"
"Mrs. Green hasn't l<een murdered."
I started to set him straight.
"I didn't ask how she met her death,"
the sheriff thundered. "Of course I
don't expect you to admit you killed
her. All I asked was where she is,
and, by George, I'll have an answer.
Where Is she?"
I pointed silently at the locked door.
"Boys," said the sheriff, with emo
tion, "a poor, defenseless woman lies
beyond that door foully done to death
by these here ruffians. Smith, Wads
worth, Clancy, Snider, you will act as

Four of his comedians went toward
the door.
"Walt," the leader commanded. "Be
fore you enter that room take off them
hats."
The four nondescript hats eame off
silently. Then tl:cr discovered that
the door was locked. However, that
proved only a slight obstacle. for the
lock was easily forced. It struck rue
as funny that Mrs. Green had not
walked out on the scene before this.
A premonition of coming disaster grip
ped my heart.
The four men :e-"ntered. carrying
reverently a limp figure, which wa.
unmistakably Mrs. Green. Had she
been struck by a stray bullet from the
attacking party? If she had, things
certainly were looking black for Clair
and myself. We had no way of prov

clrclrcumstantial evidence would be
against us. A murmur of anger ran
around the room, and the man with the
