and leads her to his cabin, and calls her
attontlon to a email holo In the partition
near tho head of the berth. Ho asks her to
listen, telling her Divine Is probably In the
adjoining room.
CHAPTER V (Continued).
THE girl, still frightened and fearful of
tho man's Intentions, did, nevertheless,
as he bade.
At first nho could maho out nothing be
yond the partition but n. confused murmur
of votcos and tho clinic of Klas3, a.3 of
the touch of tho ncclc of a bottle against
a goblet.
For a moment ehs remained In tense
silence, her car pressed to the tiny aper
ture. Then, distinctly, she heard the voice
of Skipper SImms.
"I'm a tollln' you, man," he was saying,
"that thero iva'n't nothln' else to be done,
an' I'm Bettln' tt sick of hearln' you
flndln' fault all tho time with the -way I
bcon a ninnlri o' this little Job."
"I'm not finding fault, SImms," returned
another voice which the girl recognized lm
mediately as Divine's, "although I do
think that It was a mistake to disable the
Lotus as you tlld. How on earth are wo to
over return to civilization It that boat Is
lost? Had Rhe been simply damaged a
llltlo. In a way that they could themselves
liax-o fixed up. thn iJqlay would havo been
sufficient to permit us to escape, and then,
when Miss Harding was returned In safety
to hor father after our marriage, they
would hae been so glad to be reunited that
ho could easily have been persuaded to
drop tho matter.
"Then another thine t you Intended to
demand a ransom for both Miss Harding
and myself to carry out the fiction of my
having been stolen, also. How can you do
that If Mr. Harding bo dead? And do you
supposo for a moment that Miss Harding
will leave a slnglo stone unturned to bring
tho guilty to justice If any harm has bo
fallen her father or his guests?"
Tho girl turned away from tho parti
tion, her faco white and drawn. Bho rose
to her feet, facing Therlero.
"I have henrd tiulto enough, thank you,
Mr. Therlero," sho said.
"You are convinced, then, that I am
your friend?" ho asked.
"I nm convinced that Mr. Divine Is not,"
sho replied noncommlttntly. She took a
step toward tho door,
Theriere stood looking nt her. Sho wan
unquestionably very good to look nt. Ho
could not remember over having seen a
moro beautiful girl. A grent desire to selzo
Tier in his arms swept ovor tho mnn.
Therlero had tiovcr often mndo any effort
to harness his desires. What ho wanted It
had been his custom to tnke by force, If
necessary.
Ho took a step toward Barbara Harding.
Thero was a midtlcn light In his eyes that
the girl had not beforo seen there, nnd sho
reached quickly toward tho knob of tho
door.
Therlero was upon her, nnd then sud
denly ho mastered himself, for ho recalled
his coolly thought-out plan based on a clause
In tho will of tho girl's departed grandpar
ent which stipulated that tho man who
shared his bequest with her must bo the
cholco of both herself and her father.
Ho could afford to bldo his tlmo nnd play
tho chlvalroUB protector first boforo ho es
sayed tho rolo of lover.
Barbara had turned a half-frlghtencd
look toward him ns ho advanced In doubt
ah to his Intentions
"Pardon mo, Miss Harding," ho said j
"the door Is bolted let mo unlatch It for
you," nnd very gallantly ho did so, swing
ing tho portnl wldo that sho might pass out.
"I feared Interruption," ho said In cxplnn
atlon of tho bolt.
In sllenca thoy returned to the upper deck.
The Intoxication of suddon passion now
under control, Therlero was again master
of himself and ready to play tho cold, cal
culating, waiting gamo that ho hud deter
mined upon '
Part of his pla was to seo Just enough
of Miss Harding to Insure a placo In her
mind nt all tlmea; but not enough to sug
gest that ho was forcing himself upon her.
Itlghtly, ho nssumed that sho would ap
preciate thoughtful deference to her com
fort and snfety under tho harrowing condi
tions of her present existence, moro than a
forced companionship that might entail too
open tlovotlon on his part.
And so he raised his cap and left her.
only urging lirr to call upon him at any
tlmo that ho might be of scrvlco to her.
Loft alone, tho girl becamo lost In un
happy reflections, nnd In the harrowing:
ordeal of attempting to readjust herself to
tho knowledge that Larry Divine, her life
long frlond, was the Instigator of the atro
cious villainy that had bcon perpetrated
against her and her father. Sho found It
almost equally difficult to believe that Mr.
Therlero was no much mors sinned against
than sinning as he woutct havo had her
bellevo.
"And yet. did not his story sound even
moro plausible than that of Divine, whose
she had accepted before Theriere had made
It possible for her to kn"ow tha truth?
Why, then, was It so difficult for her to
believe tho Frenchman?
Sho could not say, but In the Inmost
recesses of her heart sho know that she
mistrusted nnd feared tho man. .
As she stood leaning against tho rail,
burled deep In thought, Billy Byrno passed
closo behind hor. At sight of her a sneer
curled his lip. How ho hated her! Not
that sho had over done anything to harm
him, but rather because she represented
to him In ronereto form nil thnt ho had
learned to detest since early childhood.
Her soft white skin, her shapely hands
and wcll-carcd-for nails, her trim figure
and perfectly fitting suit, all taunted him
with their superiority over htm nnd his
kind. Ha knew that sho looked down upon
him an nn Inferior being. She was of tho
class, that addressed those In his wnlk of
llfo ns "My man." Lord, how ho hated
that appellation!
Tho Intentness of his gaze npon her bnck
had tho effect so often noted, by tho ob
servant, and, suddenly aroused from tho
lethargy of hor misery, the girl swung
around to meet tho man's eyes squnrcly
upon hor, Instantly sho recognized him nr,
tho bruto who had killed Billy Mallory. If
thero had been hato In the mucker's eyes
as ho looked nt tho girl, It was as nothing
by comparison with tho loathing and dis
gust which sprang to hers ns they rested
upon his sullen face.
So dcop wni her feeling of contempt for
this man that the sudden appearance of
him boforo her startled n slnglo exclama
tion from her.
"Coward I" came the slnslo word, In
voluntarily, from her lips.
Tho man's scowl doeponed menacingly.
He took a threatening step toward her.
"Wot's dat?" ho growled. "Don't get
gay wit mo, or I'll black dem lamps, fer
ych," nnd he raised u heavy fist to strike
hor.
with a bound had sprung between Billy
Byrns and Barbara Harding.
"What has this man said to you, Miss
Harding?" cried Theriere. "Ha he offered
you harm?"
"I do not think that ho would have dared
atrlka me." replied the girl, "though ha
threatened to do so. He Is the coward who
murdered poor Mr. Mallory upon the Lotus.
Ha might stoop to anything after that."
Theriere turned angrily upon Byrne.
"Op belowl" he shouted. "I'll attend to
you later. If Miss Harding were not hero
I d thrash you within an Inch of your life
now. And If I ever hear of your speaking
to hor again, or offering her the sllghtost
Indignity, I'll put a bullet through you so
quick you won't know what has struck
you."
"T'ell yeh will!" sneewd Billy Byrne. "I
got your number, yeh big stiff; an' ych
bolter not get gay wit me. Dey ain't no
guy on board dls man's ship dat can hand
Billy Byrno dat kin' o' guff an' get away
wit' It see?" And. before Therlero knew
hat had happened, a heavy flnt caught
him upon tho point of tho chin and lifted
him eloor off the deck to drop him uncon
scious nt Miss Harding's feet
"Veil seo wot happens to guys dat get
gay wit' me'" said tho mucker to the girl,
and then stooping over tho prostrate form
of the mato Btlly Byrne withdrew a huge
revolver from Thcrlore's hip pocket
"Quessj I'll ncod dls gat in my business
purty soon," ho remarked.
Then ho planted a vicious kick In tho
face of Oio unconscious man, nnd went his
way to tho forecastle.
"Now maybe Bho'll fink Billy Byrne's a
coward," he thought, ns he disappeared
below.

THE MUCKER had looked to seo the girl
cower beforo his threatened blow that
uoukl havo been ample atonement for her
Insult, and would havo nppealcd greatly to
hla Kelly-dang senso of humor.
Many n. tlmo hnd ho threatened women
thus, for tho keen enjoyment of henrlug
their screams of fright and seeing them
turn mid flee In terror. When they had
held their ground nnd opposed him, ns some
upon tho West Sldo hnd felt surtlclontly
muscular to do, tho mucker had not hesi
tated to "hand them one."
Thus only might a mnn uphold his repu

Ho had expected this, girl of the effete
nnd effeminate upper clnss to swoon with
terror beforo him ; but, to his Intenso aston

RAINBOW CLUB
WHAT IS A STREET FOR?
Dearest Children Many years ago somebody started out for a walk, and
that walk began at tho lower end of Manhattan Island, which is now a part
of New York city. By and by, along came somebody else and walked a little
farther.
It was a very crooked path ,and it is now a very crooked street. It is also
the most famousstrcct in tho world. It is Broadway.
Thoso who originally walked, tho path did not intend to havo it anything
but a path.' They did not intend that it should be a playground. It was for
the passage of people only. y
I want you to think of that street cut in front of your house. It may havo
been a cowpath once, liko Broadway, but it never was intended as a PLACE
TO PLAY.
Pleaso bear in mind what streets ,nro for. Also remember what parts of
the Btreofcs aro proper to walk in, nnd try to cross streets where thero are cross
ings and not in tho middle of tho block.
YOU have a right in tho street ONLY for tho purposo of going to and
fro, but sometimes kind officials allow certain streets to bo used a3 playgrounds.
It is lots of fun looking at crooked streets and paths and wondering how
they started. Did you ever seo n straight path in tho country?
Tha worst placo to play is tho street where thero aro trolley tracks.
Let us all work together and HOPE that some day thero will be lots and
lots of places in tho cities where children may play.
A street is for you and for me, but NOT to play in.

Once in a big city thera lived a poor

He earned his living by selling; papers and

One day ha found a leather wallet, big
and fat, with a name and address on tha

"No," he said, "I will return It at onco to

Barbara Harding stood speechless with
shock nt tha brutality and ferocity of the
unexpected attack upon Therlero. Never
In all her llfo had sho dreamed that there
could exist upon the faco of the earth a
thing In human form eo devoid of honor
and clilvnlry and fair play aR tha creature
tliaf had Just threatened a defenseless
uomnn and kicked an unconscious mnn In
the faco.
Dut then Barbara Harding had never
tyved between Grand nvenuo nnd Lnko
street nnd Halited nnd Robey, wharo stand
ards of masculine bravory aro stratigo and
fearful.
When sho had recovered her equanimity
i.ho hastened to tho head of tho cabin com-
pnnlonway nnd called aloud for help.
Instantly Skipper SImms and First Ofll
ctr Ward rushed on deck, each cnrrying a
revolver. In readiness for tho conflict with
their crow that these two worthies wero
always expecting.
Barbara pointed out the still form of
Therlero, quickly explaining what had oc
curred. "It wa3 tho fellow Byrne who did It,"
sho said "He has gone into tho forecastlo
now, nnd ho has a revolver that ho took
from Mr. Therlero after ho had fallon."
Sovcral of the crew had now congregated
about tho prostrnto officer.
"Here you," cried Sklppor SImms to a
couple, of them; "you tnko Mr. Theriere
below to his cabin an' throw cold water In
lils face. Mr. Ward, get somo brandy from
my locker an' try nn" bring him to. The
rest of ou arm yourselves with crowbars
and nxes, nn' seo that that son of n sea
cook don't got out on deck ngaln nllvo.
Hold him there till I get a couplo of guns,
nn' then we'll got him, d him!"
Skipper SImms hastened below while two
of tho men wero carrying Therlero to his
cabin nnd Mr. Ward was fetching tho
brandy. A moment Inter Barbara Hnrdlng
yaw the skipper return to the upper deck
with a rlllo nnd two revohera.
Tho sailors whom ho had detailed to keep
Ityrno bolow wero gathered about tho
hatchway loading to the forecnstlo. Some
of them wero exchanging profane and
pleasant badlnago with tho prisoner.
"Yeh better como up an' got killed easy
lllto," ono called down to the muckor
"Wo're apt to muss yeh all up down thero
In tho dark with these hero axes nnd crow
barn, an' then w'en wo send yeh horn, yer
pore maw won't know her llttlo boy nt
nil!"
"Yeh come on down hero an' try mussln'
mo up," yelled back Billy Byrne. "I can
lick do whole gang wit' one hnn' tied behln
mo seo?"
"Do skipper's gorn to get his barkers,
Billy," cried Bony Sawyer. "Yeh better
como up nn' stan' trial if lie gives ych tho
chanst."
"Stnn' nothln'." sneered Billy. "Swell
chnnst I'd have wit' him nn' Hqulnt-Kyo
holdlu' court over me. Not on yer life.
Bony. I'm here, an' hero I stays till I
croak. But yoh better bellevo mo, I'm goln"
to cronk a few beforo I goes, so If any of

"An' anudder t'lng I'm gonna do afora

ginks In de cabin wlso to whero doy stands
wit' one anudder. If I don't start somet'lng
boforo I goes out, my nnme's not Billy
Byrne !"
At this Juncture Skipper SImms appeared
with the threo weapons ho had gone to his
cabin to fetch. He handed ono to Bony
Sawyer, another to Red .Sanders, and a
third to a man by the name of Wilson.
"Now, my men," said Skipper SImms,
"we will go balow and bring Byrne up.
Bring him alive If you can but bring
him."
No one made a move to enter the fore
castle. "Go on now, move quickly," commanded
Skipper SImms.
"Thought ho said 'we,' " remarked one
of the sailors.
SImms, livid with rage, turned to search
out tha offender from tha several men be
hind him.
"Who was that?" he roared, "Show me
the swab I Jes' show him to me, I tell you,
an' I'll learn him. Now you," he yelled nt
the top of his voice, turning again to tho
men ho had ordered Into tho forecnstlo
after Billy Byrno, "you cowardly landlub
bers you, get below thero quick aforo I kick
you below 1"
Still no ona moved to obey him. From
white ha went to red, nnd then back to
white again. He fairly frothed out of the
mouth as ha Jumped up and down, cursing
tha men and threatening.
But all to no avail. They would not go.
"Why, skipper," spoko up Bony Sawyer,
"It's sura death for any man ns goes below
there. It's easier an' safer to starve him
out."
"Starve nothln'," howled Skipper SImms.
"Do you reckon I'm a goln' to Bit aulet
hero for a week an' let a blanked wharf
rat own that thero fo'c's'le' Just because I
got a lot o' white-livered cowards aboard?
No, sir. You'ro a goln' down after that
would-be bad man an' fetch him up dead or
alive," and with that ha started menac
ingly toward the threo who stood near the
hatch, holding their firearms, Bafely out of
range of Billy Byrna below.
What would happen had Skipper SImms
completed the threatening maneuver he had
undertaken can never be known, for at this
moment Therlero pushed his way through
tha clrclo of men who were Interested
spectators of the Impending tragedy.
"What has happened, sir?" he asked of
SImms. "Anything that I can assist you
with?" His face was badly bruised, but,
fortunately, tha damage, was not berlous.
