Words of Love.
My hand-clasp tightened, and the
long lashes shaded her eyes, conceal
ing from me the mystery of their
depths, a brighter color Hooding her
cheeks. Outlined against the open
port, and the blue of the water beyond,
the fresh young beauty of her face was
almost a new revelation. The words
she had spoken, her manner, her sud
den surrender to my wish, perplexed
me, and completely overcame my ef
fort at self-control.
“Why did you ask me that?” 1 ques
tioned, scarcely aware of my words.
"What?”
“If I would despise you ; would deem
your act unwomanly?”
“Because—because I had to know.
It does not even yet seem right to me—
altogether. I—I could not do such a
thing unless you approved.”
"You have faith in me, then?”
“Yes—yes; 1—1 believe in you.”
“And you mean you would have re
fused to take such action if l had not
urged it upon you, and had failed to
assure you that doing so would in no
way lower my respect for you?"
Her eyes dashed up questloningly
Into my face, only to be instantly low
ered again.
“Yes."
"Not even to save your own life?”
"I have always felt there were con
ditions more to be dreaded than
death,” she answered slowly. “Mere
association, such as you describe ibis
adventure to be, with Fergus McCann,
may not be such a condition—yet I
shrink from it. 1 have chosen my
course, not because it may preserve
Jay life, but for the sake of the others
helpless on board this miserable ves
sel; because of the crippled man
locked In his own cabin; because of
the mother praying for him in Phila
delphia. Oh! Mr. llollis, can you not

“Vera, why do you question me like
this? Why should you hesitate, doubt,

“Mine! You think ha! of me?”
“Yes,” she said • d now her eyes

This avowal, quietly, honestly spo
ken, sent the hot blood tingling
through my veins, yet left me for the
Moment speechless. I could not, dare
hot hope that her words meant all
they seemed to n oan. She must have
read the bewilderment iu my face,

"You do love me! You—you live

"Oh, you mustn’t compel me to say

that 1 am interested. If it was not*for
the desperate chance 1 am aboift to

because 1 love you.”
“You love me? You really love me?'
“As woman never loved before, 1
believe,” site answered gravely. “1
love you.”
I kintw not what time passed as 1
held her In my arms, and whispered
those words repressed so long. Almost
had 1 forgotten where we were, the na
ture of our surroundings, the late
which threatened us. 1 could remem
ber only her. the velvety touch of her
tiesli, the welcoming light of love In
her eyes. I know not what we talked
about, conscious only of the joy of
being alone together, with every har
rier between us swept away forever.
The sun-bine poured in through the
open port, touching her hair with
threads of golden light, and leaving
a bar of brilliance across the state
room deck.
Yet I imagine the respite was not
long. There came a sharp rap upon
the wood of the door, bringing us in
stantly back to tt realization of our po
sifion. Her arms released me, and 1
arose to my feet.
“Wlmt is wanted?’’
“It’s a few minutes till noon, sir,”
said a voice I failed to recognize. "And
I'm to tell you to conte on deck.”
“Quite right, my man, I'll be there
at once. Stand by to carry the instru
ments.”
“Aye, aye, sir.”
There was a certain cheerfulness
and respect in the voice, which con
vlnced me that the fellow was not
among the ringleaders, but the hope
of making him an adherent to our
cause vanished when 1 opened tie
door, and recognized Dude. The man
was too weak, too much of a jellyfish,
to render his friendship of any parttcu
I lar value. Resides Dugan was also ip
tilt* cabin, I' ailing idly against the
skiir-nul. but ij’iite as evidently on
i'litii'il. 1 nodded to him. but he only

he lied not yet forgiven the rough
treatment nreordeil him :t lew hours
before. Tiie memory made me smile.
“I've seen you when you looked hap

imagine you have nothing on Jim
Whitt*.'’
“To h—1 with yor,” he growled sav
ngi iy. “If ! I my way ye'd have no
tongue h ft to net -mart with. tJet
along no*.v after yer things.”
Dade followed t. e into the captain's |
stateroom, lie was obedient enough,
but reluctant to talk, no doubt afraid
of being nvo'lu.m] by Dugan.
The nsi'! a t< rs were grouped on
the ;n;i r do ‘k waiting my arrival, am: I
I followed Dade up the ladder, deter- 1
mined they should perceive no change
in my demeanor, which wight awaken j
suspicion. McCann's manner was far j
from cordial its 1 approached, but !
thought ii iiest to ignore his churlish
ness. i
“You wore long eiiotiuii coining; per
haps you still thick yourself in com- j
maud?" he said savagely.
“Tlml would Indeed he a slrfelch of ,
the imagination.” I replied, holding my
temper, and motioning Dade where b i
place tlt< s, xtsit.*. “However, I do not
think 1 have v\a n.y time—it is sti!' 1
two mint:!, s of tw» !ve.”
ITe growled -■ 'tie■.hint., but 1 busied .
myself with the observation, only an*
ions to nud e it accurate enough foi ,
my own use. Whatever tigui'i s i re
ported, it was ahsnlutely necessary !
that 1 know myself the exact position !
of the ship. Nor did I (hire- to juggU
tliem greatly in my report, for while j
Met'ann was far from being an expert j
navigator, he yet possessed it smatter- (
iug of knowledge, which rendered him
dangerous, and h» was very sure ti
heck up my figures with every can
possible. ■However. I look -I him by a
point or tw o. s'iiTh ieut for my purpose
and w rote down th ■ r -ml! on tin hacl
i f an old envelope. while stowing away
the correct figures in my own i stilt.
Although the ir was balmy enough
tin* wind from th s.otthwi si almost
directly in our teeth, yet there was a
look of the north about hotli sett and
sky, which would have convinced me
that we were approaching higher lati
tudes-without the aid of my observa
tion. Without being able to explain
the phenomenon the seaman instinc
hvely recognizes northern waters.
Now. ns ray eyes swept the wide circle
of tin* horizoit. vainly seeking the
gleam of some distant sail, the lienv
I ing expanse of water, the overarching
j sky were almost alike in color—a
| cold, repellent blue, misting Into gray
afar off. as though particles of fog
tilled the atmosphere. Indeed it was
this which interested me the most, this
vogue evidence of floating vapor, for
T knew enough of these seas to sus
' pect that this might prove the fore
runner of storm, already preparing to
sweep down upon 11s out < the more
northern mystery. Others must have
noted tlie evidence also, for Liverpool
crossed the deck to where I stood, leav
j ing McCann with the chart in his
! hands.
“Wlmt do yer think o’ that sorter
< mist out yonder?” he asked. Indicating
the distance by a sweep of the hands,
aud striving to make his gruff voice
sound friendly.
‘‘It may mean nothing,” I answered
civilly enough. “I have never sailed
these waters, hut my guess would he
that there is a storm brewing to the
north of us. What does the barome
ter say?”
“A slight drop in the last two hours;
nothin’ much yet, hut it don't look
good to me.”
McCann joined us, the churt still
half open.
“There seems to he plenty of har
bors along this Newfoundland coast
line,” lie said. “L>o you know what
they art1 like?”
“Only what the map says. The
whole coast is rugged and rocky, dan
gerous for any vessel larger than a
fishing schooner. There are govern
| ment mail boats calling at those
smaller towns during the summer
j months.”
“How fur are we to the north of
j St. Johns?”
"Two hundred and fifty miles, ap
proximately.”
“Which makes us about due east
of this White bay indicated here?”
“Yes; but there is not even the namt
of a town given; all that country is
wilderness, 1 take it. Why do you ask?
1 thought you had decided on St.
Johns?”
“So we have,” in no pleasant tone,
and crumpling up the chart in both
hands, “but I thought if there was a
more quiet port to the north it might
be safer. There are apt to be war
ships at St. Johns. However, we will
keep to that course.” He turned to
Liverpool.
“Where’s White?”
“Forward sc.mew here.”
“Have him come aft, and take the
deck; it’s time for dinner."
I shall never forget that meal—not
tilt' lirst, hut the last time we were all
together about the table in the after
cabin. Not that anything occurred of
special interest to this story, but I
doubt if ever a stranger company, un
der stranger circumstances, was ever
gathered together, even at sea. Mc
Cann rapped at Miss Carrington's
door, and site received his invitation
to Join us with a graciousness of man
ner which must have surprised tin*
man.
Liverpool, who sat at the lower end,
his uncombed red thatch more conspic
uous than ever, appeared decidedly
ill at ease, but ids presence failed to
embarrass tin* rest of us, or interfere
with the game,. Fade, at McCann’s
orders, helped l’hilip Hu scorn from his
cabin, jmd found him n place at Miss
f'arrington's left, directly opposite the
.New Yorker, the two men greeting
■ :u.‘h oth r with h stiff bow. I had not
.(rii Ik.-com for some days, and could
nut help being impressed with his ap
pearance of illness, his face having a
positively ghastly look. Yet he seemed 1
equal to the occasion, entering into
conversation with the lady, and even
oecasio, ally addressing a remark to
McCann, who replied in assumed good
humor. Wile was served, aithough
previously 1 had no knowledge of any
being en board, and the party devel
oped into a rather pleasant occasion.
The girl played her part well, and
I eouhl read Basemn's bewilderment
as lie endeavored to join with them in
the same spirit. To relieve his em
barrassment, 1 managed to keep up a
desultory conversation with him, al
though my thoughts were busy enough
elsewhere, endeavoring to figure out
the meaning of all this byplay. It was
a decided relief when the party finally
broke tip, and McCann conducted the
lady hack to her stateroom, pausing
for a linal farewell at the door.
CHAPTER XXIII.
The Depth of Despair.
McCann's manner changed instantly
with the closing of the door, although
lie indulged in no remark, except to
order Liverpool to take charge of the
deck, and permit White to take his
place at the table, lie passed me by
without a word or glance, and dis
appeared into his own stateroom, the
farther one aft to starboard. 1 waited
until Dade had assisted Bascoin to re
tin*. and then sought my own berth
to think the whole affair over. Bas
com's appearance shocked me, and I
felt there was a death look in his face,
but our own perilous position kept my
mind from dwelling long on this theme.
There was little—itbthlng, in fact—
that I could do. I must be content to
leave Vera to evolve some means for
the final overthrow of these men win*
hehl t:- prisoners. Dubois remained
in tit* cabin on guard, probably with
instructions to prevent my holding any
private iiu< rvmws. and the only assist
ance 1 could give lay in tin* juggling
of figures, in which I could not be too
caul ions.
The main doubt assailing me had
come from a dim suspicion aroused on
the deck by McCann's questioning, and
a sly glance exchanged between him
and Liverpool. Were the fellows really
contemplating making a landing else
where on the Newfoundland coast, in
stead of at St. Johns? This was not
impossible, and the fact that it would
take us thoroughly by surprise would
appeal to the conspirators. Yet I dis
covered absolutely nothing on which to
base such an assumption. McCann was
evidently in no haste to reach the lati
tude of St. John’s, and take to the
boats, for the Indian Chief was pro
eeeding with greatly reduced speed,
tnd, as the afternoon wore slowly
away, it seemed to me we were scarce
ly moving, the reverberation of the
screw being barely perceptible. To as
sure myself that the course I had
mapped out was *till being adhered to,
1 ventured Into tin* cabin for a glance
at the telltale compass. We were
headed to the west of south.
The man Simms was on guard, lolling
against the butt of the mizzen mast,

orders. \ yii'!ii£_ closed door

stantly he was on his feet to Interfere,
“You are not to <lo that, sir.’’
"Not to do what?”
“Speak alone with the lady; thosOI
were my orders.”
I raised my voice in remonstrance,
but had scarcely uttered a word, when
McCann emerged from his stateroom,
leaving tiie door ajar, and crossed the
deck to face me.
“What is the trouble here, Simms?”
he asked, the harshness of his tone dif
fering greatly from the pleasant con
versation at dinner.
“Mr. Iiollis was going to rap on tbfl
lady's door, sir.”
“Oh. lie was, hey! Weil, now see
here, Hollis, you understood that you
were to have no communication with
any prisoners aboard, didn't you?”
“I was not aware that Miss Car
rington was considered a prisoner.”
“Well, whether she is or not, she is
no longer to be bothered witli your at
tentions,” with no attempt to control
his temper. “I consider that you have
broken your word. You will go back to
your stateroom, and stay there.”
“Supposing 1 refuse?”
Ho grinned, exposing his teeth like a
<jr< iit cat.
“1 wouldn't advise you to try that."
he sneered, "for there Is crew enough
on deck to man-handle you to a finish.
You can go in quietly, or I’ll call them
down, and have you thrown In. So
take your choice."
1 looked at the two of them, eager
enough myself to make it a fight. Yet
what was the use? Any excuse en
abling him to confine me more closely
would evidently be to his advantage.
I conqtn red myself, and hands
clinched, crossed the deck space, and
entered my stateroom, closing the door.
I heard McCann laugh, and say some
thing to Simms; then I knew he crossed
! the cabin, and went up flic stairs. To
better control myself I thrust my face
out through the open port, breathing In
the salty freshness of the air.
Suddenly 1 became aware that others
had entered the main cabin. There was
no sound of voices: nothing to tell me
the purpose of this Invusion. yet I felt
certain that, at least, a dozen men had
descended the steps from the compan
ion. I stood erect listening; there was
fumbling at my door. Had McCann
changed his mind? Were they nbout to
attack me in force? Revolver In hand
I took n step forward, half-ready to
welcome any open hostility.
“The first sen rat to open thnt door,”
I called, “will got what’s coming to
him.”
There was a mocking laugh in an
swer. In which more than one voice
joined; then White growled reply:
"No one is a’ coinin’ In, mister; un1
damn me. if you’re goln’ ter get out."
I grasped the knob, throwing my
whole weight against the wood. It
yielded scarcely half an Inch, just
enough to reveal a stout bar. This
time 1 was a prisoner beyond doubt;
they had left me no loophole of escape.
Rut why? What had I done to warrant
them in breaking their pledge? Could
it be that McCann had no further us<
for me? no desire for another observa
ion? If this was true, then It must b<

hat very night, and taking a chance a
retting ashore in one of those northeri
’mys. And they had nailed me in t<
die like a rat In this hole, when th;
Indian Chief went down.
For the instant, as this fear gripper
me, I was dazed and incapable o

prebend the full horror. 1 do not b
