CHAPTT.n XVI (Continued)
ANSTRUTHER was satisfied that none of
Xjl them hnxnrdcd the remotest guess as
to the value of the gaunt rock they were
staring at and chance helped htm to baffle
further Inquiry.
A trumpeter on board the Orient waa
blowing his lungs out to summon them to
luncheon, when Captain Fltrroy put a final
query.
"I can quite understand," he said to Rob
ert "that you have an affection for this
weird place'
"I should think so indeed," muttered the
stout midshipman, glancing at Iris.
"But I am curious to know," continued
the commander, "why you lay claim to the
lilandT You can hardly Intend to return
here."
Ho pointed to Robert's placard stuck on
thp rock.
Anstruther paused before he answered.
Ho felt that Lord Ventnor'a dark eyes were
fixed on him. Everybody was more or less
desirous to havn thin point cleared up. He
looked thrt questioner squarely In tho face,
"In soma parts of the world." he said,
"thero aro sunken reefs, unknown, un
charted, on which many a vessel haa been
loit without any contributory fault on the
part of her officers'"
"Undoubtedly,"
'Well, Captain Fltsroy. when I wa sta
tioned with my regiment In Hongkong I
encountered such a reef, nnd wrecked my
life on It At least, that Is how it seemed
to mo then. Fortune throw mo ashore
here, after n long nnd bitter submergence.
You can hardly blamn mo If I cling to the
tiny speck of land that gao mo salvation"
"No," admitted tho sailor. He knew
thero was something moro In the allegory
thnn the text rcralrd, but It was no busi
ness of his.
"Moreover," continued Robort smilingly,
"you see I hae a partner"
"There cannot be tho slightest doubt
about the partner," was the prompt roply.
Then every one laughed. Iris mora than
nny, though Sir Arthur Peano's gayety wan
forced, and Lord Ventnor could taste the
acidity ot his own smile.
Later In tho day tho first lieutenant told
his chief of Anstruthcr's otuntary state
ment concerning tho court-martlnl. Cnptnln
Fltzroy was naturally pained by this un
pleasant rnvelatton, but he took exactly the
same view 11a that expressed by the first
lieutenant In Robert's presence.
Nevertheless he pondered the matter, nnd
seized an early opportunity of mentioning
It to Lord Ventnor. That distinguished
nobleman was vastly surprised to learn
how Anstruther had cut the ground from
beneath his feet.
"Yes." he said. In reply to the sailor's
request for Information, "I know all about
it. it could not well be otherwise, seeing
that next to Mrs. Costobell I was the prin
cipal witness ugalnsl him."
"That must have been d d awk
ward for ou," was the unexpected com
ment. "Indeed! Why?"
"Becausa rumor linked jour 'name with
that ot the lady in a somewhat outspoken
way."
"You astonish me, Anstruther certainly
made somo stupid allegations during the
trial; but I had no idea he wns able to
spread this malicious report aubsequently."
"I am not talking of Hongkong, my
lord, but of Singapore, months later."
Captain Flttroy's tone wan exceedingly
dry. Indeed, some people might dcam it
offensive.
His lordship permitted himself the rare
luxury of an angry scowl.
"Rumor is a lying Jade at tho best," he
said curtly, "You must remember. Captain
Fltxroy, that I have uttered no word of
ncnndal about Mr. Anstruther, and any
doubts concerning his conduct can be net
nt rest by perusing tho records of his enno
in the Adjutant-Oeneral's office at Hong
kong." "Hum!" said the sailor, turning on his
heel to enter tho chartroom. This wan no
way to trent a real live lord, a personage
of some political importance, too, such ns
the Special Envoy to Wang Hal. Evidently.
Iris was no mean advocate. She had al
ready won for tho "outcast" the suffrages
ot tho entire ship's company.
The girl and her father went back to the
island with Robert After taking thought
the latter decided to ask Mir Jan to remain
In possession until he returned. Thero was
not much risk of another Dynk Invasion.
The fate of Taung S'AH's expedition would
not encourage a fresh set of marauders,
and the Mahommedan uould bo well armed
to meet unforeseen contingencies, while on
his, Anstruther's, representations the Orient
would land an abundance ot stores. In
any event. It was better for the native
to live in freedom on Rainbow Island than
to be handed over to the authorities as an
escaped convict which must be his im
mediate) fate no matter wht magnanimous
view the Government of India might after
ward take of his services.
Mir Jan's answer was 'mphatlc He
took oft his turban and placed It on
Anstruther's feet.
"Kahlb." he sold. "I am your dog. If,
some day, 1 am found worthy to be your
... , Mm"1t then shall I know that
AlUn has pardoned my transgressions. I
onl killed a man because "
!!J!f.aw'. Mlr Jan- "Im rest "
hy Is he worshiping you, Robert:"
demanded Iris.
Ho told her.
"Really," she said, "I must kesp up my
studies In Hindustani. It is quite too
sweet."
And then, for the benefit ot her father,
sho rattled oft Into a spirited account of
her struggles with the algebralo x and the
Urdu compound verb.
Sir Arthur Deune managed, to repress
a sigh. In spite of himself ho could not
help liking Anstruther. The man was
magnetic a hero, an Ideal gentleman. No
wonder his daughter was Infatuated with
him. Yet the future was dark and storm
tossed, full of sinister threats and torn
plications. Iris did not know the wretched
circumstances which had come to pass since
they parted, and which had changed the
whole aspect of his life. How could he
tell her? Why should it bo his miserable
lot to snatch tho cup of hamilneaa from
her 11ns? In that moment of silent agony
he wished ha were dead, for death alone
could remove the burden laid on him. Well,
surely he might bask In the sunshine of
her laughter for another day. No need to
embitter her Joyous heart until ho was
driven to It by dire necessity.
So he resolutely brushed aside the woe
begone phantom of care, nnd entered Into
tho abandon ot tho hour with n seot that
delighted her. The dear girl Imagined that
Robert, her Robert, had made another
speedy conquest, nnd Anstruther himself
wns much elated by tho sudden change in
Sir Arthur Dcano's demeanor.
They behaved like school rhlMr.n nn .
picnic. They roared over Iris's troubles in
the matter of divided skirts, too much
divided to be at nil pleasant. Tho ship
owner tasted somo of her sago bread, nnd
vowed It wns excellent. They unearthed
two bottles of champagne, the last of the
case, nnd promised each other a hearty
toast nt dinner.
Nothing would content Iris but that they
should drnw a farewell bucketful of water
from the well und drench tho pitcher plant
with a torrential shower.
Robert carefully secuicd the pocketbooks,
money nnd other effects found on their dead
companions. The baronet, of course, knew
nil tho principal officers of the Sirdar. He
sun-eyed these mournful relics with sorrow
ful interest.
"Tim Sirdar was the crack ship of my
fleet, nnd Captain Ross was my most trust
ed commander," he said. "You may wll
Imagine, Mr. Anstruther, what a cruel blow
It wns to lose such a vessel, with all these
people on board, and my only daughter
among them. I wonder now that it did
not kill me."
She was a splendid sea boat, sir. Al
though disabled she fought gallantly
against the typhoon. Nothing short of a
reef would break her up."
"Ah. well." sighed the shipowner, "the
few timbers you have shown mo here are
the remaining assets out of 300,000."
"Was she not Insured?" Inquired nobert
"No; that is, I have recently adopted
a scheme of mutual selMnsurance, nnd the
loss falls pro rata on my other vessels."
Tho baronet glanced covertly at Iris.
Tho words conveyed little meaning to her!
Indeed, she broke In with a laugh:
"I nm afraid I have heard you say,
father dear, that some ships In tho fleet
paid you best when they ran ashore."
"Yos. Iris. That often happened in the
old days. It is different now. Moreover,
I have not told you the extent of my
calamities. Tho Sirdar was lost on March
18. though I did not know it for certain
until this morning. But on March 25 the
Bahadur was Bunk In the Mersey during
a fog. and three days later the Jemador
turned turtle on the James and Mary shoal
In the Hooglily. Happily, thero were no
lives lost In either of these cases."
Even Iris was appalled by this list of
casualties.
"My poor, dear dad!" she cried. 'To
think that all these troubles should ocour
the very moment I left you 1"
Yet sho gave no thought to the serious
financial effect of such a string of catas
troplea. Robert of course, appreciated
this atda of tho business, especially In view
of the shipowners remark about the In
surance But Sir Arthur Deane'a stiff
upper Up deceived him He failed to real
ise that the father was acting a. part for
his daughter's sake.
Oddly enough, the baronet did not seek
to discuss with them the legal-looking
document ntlxed near he cave. It claimed
nil rights in tho Island In their Joint
names, and this waa a topla he wished
to avoid. For the time, therefore, the
younger man had no opportunity of taking
him Into his confidence, and It Is held faith
ful to her promise ot silence.
Tho girr ragged raiment sou'wester
nnd strong boots were nlrendy packed
away on board. She now rescued the Bible,
tho copy of Tennyson's poems, tho bat
tered tin cup, her revolver and the Lee
Metford which "scared" the Dyaks when
they nearly onvctrt. Anetrvthef and Mlt

"MAKE IT SHORT"
So many times, my dear children, tho editor of n newspaper or somebody
else saya to me, "Make it short."
This, means that I hnvo to take my beautiful thoughts and squeeze them
until they fit In a certain space In a newspaper. '
This is called CONDENSING.
How often you hear, "He was a man of few words." "He is one of thoso
quiet fellows who never says very much."
Why is it we ADMIRE somo one who says little? Simply because it Is
ono of tho hardest things in the world to keep our MOUTHS SHUT!
Try not to repeat unless you repeat with greater effect. "Now, now. NOW
is the tlmo to save your country" is better than "Now ia tho time, this very
instant is the time; yes, even NOW is tho time to save your country,"
I would rather writo twice as much as I do, because it would bo EASIER.
I think I have told you before, but here it is again: Write as if you were
writing a telegram and had to pay three cents for each word. THEN you
will learn -to "make it short,"
But make your meaning clear.

BILLY PUMPPS SEES THE DOCTOR
By Farmer Smith
Whenever Mrs. Billy Bumpus wished to
maka her good husband curious she would
keep still for a long time. She wouldn't
peak to him or even look at him.
One morning at breakfast khe neither
spoke to hlra nor looked at him, and by and
by Billy began to get the Hdgets.
"What's the matter," he said,
"Matter with whatr asked his wife.
The matter with you," said Billy.
-1 didn't koow there waa anything the
matter with anything. In short there Is
nothing the matter wjth nothing." said

"Don't cry." said Billy. "I'll go to a uoo
