Billy Byrne, thOirduotis labor of maklnfc rail over for the time, was devoting his energies to the task of piecing out from what Therlere had told him and what he hnd overheard outside the skipper's cabin somo sort of explanation of the work ahead. As he pondered Therlero's proposition he saw the wisdom of It. It would give those Interested a larger amount nf boo'y for their share. Another feature of It was that It was Underhand, and that appealed strongly to tho mucker. Now, If he could but devise somo scheme for double-crossing Therlere the pleasure and profit of tho adventure would be tripled. It was this proposition that was occupying his attention when he caught sight of "Bony" Sawyer nnd "Hod" Sanders emerg ing from tho forecastle. Billy Byrno hailed them. When the mucker had explained tho pos sibilities of profit that were to bo had by entering tho conspiracy aimed at Slmms and Ward, the two seamen were enthus iastically for It. Bony Sawyer suggested that the black cook, Blanco, was about the only other member of tho crew upon whom they could depend, and at B rne's request Bony prom ised to enlist tho co-operation of tho giant Ethiopian. From early morning of tho second day out of Honolulu keen eyes scan od tho eastern horlron through powerful glasses. About two bells of tho afternoon watch n alight smudgo became vlslblo about two points north of east. Immediately tho course of tho Halfmoon was altered so that she boro almost directly north by west In nn effort to come safely Into tho course of the stenmer which was soon rising rapidly above the horizon. Tho new courso of tho brlgnntlno was held as long as It seemed reasonably safe without danger of being sighted under full salt by tho oncoming vesicl, then her head was brought Into the wind. Ono by one her sails wero lowered nnd furled, ns tho keen eyes of Second Oftlce Therlere showed him that there was no question but that tho white hull In tho distance was that of tho steam plcasuro yacht Lotus. Upon tho deck of tho unsuspecting vessel r merry party laughed and chatted In happy Ignorance of ttio plotters In their path. It wa3 nearly half nn hour nfter the Halfmoon had como to rest, drifting Idly under baro poles, that the lookout upon tho Lotus Blghtcd her. "Sallln' vessel lyln' to, west half south," ho shouted, "flying distress signals!"

Anthony Harding was on the bridge with Captain Norrls, and both men had leveled their glasses upon tho distant ship. "Can you make her out?" asked the owner. "She's n brlgantlne," replied the ofllcer; "nnd nil that -I can. make out from hero would lndlcato that everything was ship shape about her.

The Water Drops Sent In by BEATRICE PALMER, Wrocott. Fa. Once upon a time there were some Water Drop, and their home was In the sea One day they decided to go upon a journey. And they had a cloud for a carriage, and the breeze was the'r horse. There were so many drops of water that the carriage could not carry them all So at last the carriage broke, and the little folk came tumbling to the ground They journeyed through, the nioaa and grasaea one whole, day Soon a brooklet came trickling along and carried hem all home.

"Don't be horrid, Billy." relumed Mls. Harding "VoU know perfectly well that I didn't mean weeks t meant days, nnd any way they'll be grateful to us for what we can do for them. I can scarcely wait to hear their storv" Billy Mallory was Inspecting the stranger through Mr. Harding's glasi Suddenly ho gave an exclamation of dismay. "By Qcorgol" he cried. "It Is serious after nil That ship's afire. Look, Mr. Harding," and he passed the glass over to his host. And suro enough, ns the owner of the Lotus found the brlgantlne ngaln In the centre of his lens he saw a thin column of black smoke rising amidships, but what he did not see was Mr Ward upon the opposite side of the Halfmoon'" cabin superintending the burning by the black cook of a bundle of oily rags In an Iron boiler. "By Jove'" exclaimed Mr. Harding 'This Is terrible. Tho poor devils nre panic stricken. Look nt 'em making for the boats "' and with tha he dashed back to tho bridgo to confer with his captain. "Yes," said that ofllcer, "I noticed the Bmoko about the same time you did funny It wasn't apparent before. I've already sig naled full-speed nlie.'.d, and I've Instructed Mr. Foster to have the boats In rendlncsi to lower away If we find that tlioy'ro short of boats on tho brlgantlne. "What I enn't understand," he added nfter a moment's silence, "Is why they didn't show nny signs of excitement about that flro until wo came within easy sight of them It looks' queer." "Well, we'll know In a few minutes more," returned Mr. Harding. "Tho chancer aro that tho flro Is Just a recent addition to their predicament, whatover It may bo, and that they havo only Just discovered It themselves." "Then It can't havo gained enough hend wny," Insisted the captain, "to cnuso them nny such Immcdlnto terror as would be In dicated by tho haste with which the whole ship's crew Is tumbling Into thoBO boats; but ns you say, sir, we'll havo their Btory out of them In a few minutes now, so's It's Idlo speculating beforehand."

Therlcro had been greatly disgusted with tho turn events had taken, for he hnd de termined upon a line of action that he felt sure would prove highly remunerative to himself. It had been nothing less than n bold resolve to call Blanco, Byrne, Bony nnd lied to his side the moment Slmms nnd Wnrd revealed the truo purpose of their ruse to thoso on board tho Lotus, nnd with his henchmen take sides with the men of the yacht against his former companions. As he had explained It to Billy Byrne, tho Idea was to permit Mr. Harding to bellevo that Therlere and his companions had been duped by Skipper Slmms that they had had no Idea of tho work they wero to be called upon to perform until the last moment, nnd that then they had done the only thing they could. "And then." Therlere hnd concluded, "when they think that wo nre heroes and tho best friends that they havo, we shall bo ready to seize nil of them and get ran soms for 10 or IB, instead of but one" "Bully !" exclaimed the mucker.

LEDUER-lHlLADELPHIA, TbJiattJDAY, JULY 18. 191C no Intention of carrying the matter as far M h hnd Intimated to Billy, except as n Ust resort. He had been mightily Rtnltten by the face nnd fortune of Barbara Hard ing, and had seen In the trend of events a possible opportunity of so deeply obligating her father nnd herself that when he paid court to her she might fall n willing Victim to his wiles, tn this enso he would be obliged to risk nothing, nnd could make nwny with his accomplices by explaining to Jtr Harding that ho had been com pelled to concoct this other scheme to ob tiln their asltance ngntnst Slmms nnd Ward s then they could throw the three Into Irons nnd nil would fch lovely.

They all knew that n pleasure yacht like the Lntm wns well supplied with small nrnn, nnd that nt the first Intimation of dnnger thcro would be plenty of men nbonrd to repel nnsnult, nnd, probnbty, with entire success That there were excellent grounds for Therlere's belief that ho could win Bnr bara Harding's hand with bucIi a flying start as his daring plan would havo as sured him may not be questioned, for the man was cultivated, polished, and, In a sinister way, good-looking. Tho title thnt ho had borne upon tho oc casion of his visit to the yacht was. nil Unknown to his nccomptlccs. his by right of birth There wns nothing sne n long dead scandal In the French navy that might havo proved a bar to an alliance such as ho dreamed of. And now to be thwarted nt the last mo ment It was unendurable. That pig of n Ward had scaled his own ilcnth war rant. The boats wero now quite close to the yacht, which had slowed down nlmost to a dead stop. In nnswer to tho query of the Lotus' captain, Skipper Slmms was ex plaining their trouble. "I'm Captain Jones," he shouted, "of the brlgantlne Clnrlndn, Frisco to Yokohama, with dynamite.

Why, Just take a good look at tho faces of theso men Did you ever see such an ugly.looklng pack of unhung murderers In your life, sir?" "I must ndmtt that thcy'ro not nn overly prepossessing crowd, Norrls," replied Mr. Harding. "But It's not alwnys either fair or safe to Judge strangers entirely liv np pearances. I'm nfrnld that there's nothing else for It In tho name of common human ity than to take them nbonrd, Norrls. I'm sure your fears aro entirely groundless." "Then It's your orders, sir. to take them nboard?" asked Captnln Norrls. "Yes, captain, I thfnk you'd better," snld Mr. Hnrdlng. "Very good, sir." replied the ofllcer. turn ing to give the necessary commands. Tho officers nnd men of tho Halfmoon swarmed up tho sides of the Lotus, dark vlsngcd, fierce and forbidding. "Reminds mo of a boarding party of pi rates." remarked Hilly Mallory. ns ho watched Blanco, the Inst to throw n leg over tho mil. rench the deck. "They're not very pretty, are they?" mur mured Bnrbarn Harding. Instinctively shrinking closer to her companion. "Pretty scarcely describes them, Bar bara," said Billy "Do you know thnt some how I nm having difficulty In Imagining them on their knees giving up thanks to the Lord for their rescue that was your recent Idea of 'em, you will recall." "If you havo purposely ret yourself the task of being more than ordlnnrlly disagree- nblo today, Billy," said Barbara sweetly, "I'm sure it will please you to know that you nre succeeding." "I'm glad I'm successful nt something then," laughed the mnn. "I've certainly been unsuccessful enough In another mnt ter" "What, for example?" asked Barbara, falling Into the trap. "Why. In trying to mako myself so ngree able heretofore that you'd finally consent to say 'yes' for a change." I "Now, you aro going to make It all tho worse by being stupid," cried the girl petu Inntly. "Why enn't you bo nice, aB jou used to be beforo you got this silly notion Into your head?" "I don't think It's a silly notion to bo heels over head In love with the sweetest girl on e?rth," cried Billy. "Hush' Some one will hear you " "I don't cars If they do. I'd llko to nd ertlso It to the whole world I'm proud of the fact thnt I love you, and you don't enre enough nbout It to renlize how really hard I'm hit. Why, I'd die for you. Barbara, and welcome the chance. Why My God! What's, that?" "Oh. Billy! What are those men doing'" cried the girl. "Thcy'ro shooting. They're shooting nt papa! Quick, Billy! Do some thing! For Heaven s snke, do something!" On the deck below them the "rescued" crew of the Clarlnda had surrounded Mr. Harding, Captain Norrls nnd most of the crew of the Lotus, unshing revolvers from beneath shirts and conts and firing at two of the yacht's men who showed fight. "Keep quiet," commanded Skipper Slmms, "an" there won't none of you get hurtcd." "What do you want of us?" cried Mr. Harding "If It's money, take what you can find aboard us and go on your way. No one will hinder you " Skipper Simms paid no attention to him. His eyes swept aloft to the upper deck. There he saw a wide-eyed girl nnd a man looking down upon them. He wondered If she was the one they sought. There were other women aboard He could see them, huddled, frightened, behind Harding and Norrls. Some of them were young and beautiful, but there was something about the girl above him that assured him she could be none other than Barbara Harding To discover the truth Slmms resorted to a ruse, for he knew that were he to ask Harding outright If the girl were his daughter the chances were more than even that the old man would suspect something of the nature of their visit and deny her identity. "Who is that woman you have on board here?" he cried in an accusing tone of voice, "That's what we're here to find out." "Why, she's my daughter, man!" blurted Harding. "Who did you " Thanks," Bald Skipper Simms. with a self-satisfied grin. 'That's what I wanted to be sure of. Hey, you, Byrno! You're nearest the companlonway fc'ch the girl."

Thcro and clsewhcro tho "Deutschland" nppenred, nnd a particularly good hit ot timely film ing was dono nt tho Victoria, where n "shnrk" film, made some tlmo ago but now npproprlnto, wns on the bill. The latter house nlsti shewed Chester Conklln, tho nerxous nnd excltnblo comedian, in "His First False Step" The fcnturcH were "The Dream Girl" at the Snnley, "The llyo of the Night" nt the Arcadia, nnd "Whero In My Daughter" nt tho Victoria. At tho Palace Victor Mooro Is seen In "Tho Clown." For sheer beauty no other film of the week has the potent charm of "The Dream Girl," for that dim possesses Mae Murray, tho dainty, the delectable Bivcct, who first came Into extended mortnl view In "To Havo and to Hold." "The Dream Girl" 19 nn ordinary story, with ery little excep tional detail, but with Mac Murrny nnd Theodore Roberts It Is guaranteed In ex pressiveness nnd In powerful acting. It is surprising to see Miss Murray net so con sistently nnd remain bo beautiful. Nnt urally, Bho docs not compare with Mr. Roberts, who Is an old hand, a crafty nnd wise actor. In this manifestation, a Bot nn'l a gaod-henrted blackguard, he Is qulto nt his best. In spots the photography Is ex cellent, nnd wherccver tho action begins to drag thero Is nlwnys the consolation of Miss Murray. The Stanley bill Is of Its usual character, with grace and an appealing beauty ndded In. Tho nddltlon is precious. The value of a trade mark wns easily explained by one of tho patrons of tho Arcadia last evening when she said. "Oh. that Is supervised by Incc. so It must bo good." And It was. too, for ho presented William H. Thompson In "Tho Kyo ot tho Night." by C. Gardnor Sullivan nnd direct ed by Walter Edwin. Tho story Is laid In an English hamlet whero the people nre ns narrow-minded ns tho rocks which sur round the coast aro barren. The Enst Coast Light Is affectionately called "The Eyo of the Night" by old Dave Its keeper, for It Is his daily prayer that Its light will lead tho way for the coming of his daughter, whom ho has not seen since n baby, when his wife left him. Jane, n drudge, who lives with tho Denbys. Is In love with Rob Benson, a ilsherboy. When n call comes for volunteers, he enlists, leaving Jane nnxlous about hln safe return A child Is born and then news comes that ho Is nmong thoso killed. With no place to go sho nsks old Dave to care for the baby, which he does much to tho horror of the people. When ho refuses to tell whoso child It Is, thev have him removed from tho light house. An aeroplane drops bombs, one of which strikes the lighthouse nnd "mur ders his big eye." New? comes that nn army transport Is duo that night nnd ns It Is extremely dangerous with no light, he sacrifices his home by setting flro to It In order to guide the ship In the harbor. There Is a happy but not unsatisfactory ending Thompson Is never out of tho picture nnd hln every move shows an understanding of tho requirements of screen work Mnrgory work. And her large expressive eyes nre used Wilson, as the drudge, does somo excellent to advantage several times. J. P. Lackney, as the cruel Denby, was a carefully studied pleco of character acting. Tho small part required as Rob Benson was portrayed by Thornton Edwards, while Mrs Denby was ncted by Agnes Herring. Thero wero many finely drawn bits of character work on the part of the support ng company nnd tho many children used all seemed to fit Into the atmosphere. A news innuru mm ...jc,.. and Theby comedy nnd "Gloria's Romance' completed the program. If you havo never visited the Victoria Theatre, then do so this week, for the pro gram Is one of exceptional merit and Its length, together with tho variety, nffords a combination hard to beat. First there is Lois Weber's "Where is My Children?' with Mary MacLaren; Chester Conklln tn "His First False Step." Metro Travelogue, Hearst International News nnd last, the timely.
