CIIAPTI3R III Continued
"DUT tho second offlcer, Seeley, was ot nn
L altogether different character, He was
genial nnd courteous; not a young man by
any means, for his hair was quite gray, yet
easy enough to approach a good seaman,
but lacking tho education which would en-
ablo him to attain command I lemembercd
Cnrrlngton had mentioned the fact that ho
had been In his employ for over ten years.
Ho was the one most likely to listen to
tho plea of a woman, nnd to bo deceived
by her; and besides, as I suddenly recalled,
It was during his watch on tho bridge
that tho girl had ventured on deck seeking
tho fresh, night air No doubt she was
half-stifled down below, shut In nil day,
and had emerged from concealment so soon
as Scelcy Informed her the deck was do
sertcR by tho passengers. The i-c.iineii sel
dom had any occasion to use tho after
deck, and, If such an emergoncy nrosc, the
offlcer on watch could very easily warn her
of danger. She would be safo enough from
observation under shadow of tho awning
for several hours each night.
Beforo the party flnnlly hroko up 1 had
outlined my plan I was In no haste to
retire, having slept ntnre or Icon during the
nfternoon. 1 would remain alone on deck
and see what happened The fellows were
late enough going below. Mri'nnn nnd his
threo bosom friends lingering about the last
card table until nftcr 11 Flnnlly they dis
persed, however, never oven noting my prcs
enco where 1 lay, bundled up In a rug In
tho depths of a steamer chair. Their de
parture left tho after-deck completely de
serted and silent, tho only sounds reaching
mo being the thud of tho screw nnd the
dash of the waters alongside. Wo wero
steaming right gallantly now and stars
were finding rifts In the clouds through
which to silver the waves of the Sound. Our
siren had not blown for an hour, nor did
I percelvo the lights of any vessel nenr
at hand. The first ofnrer was still on the
brfdge, but Seeley would relieve him at 12;
there was nothing for me to do but wait
until then
I could better my position, however, and
Immediately did so, If the second ofllrer
really proved to be the occompllco or the
girl he would very probably take a rather
careful survey of the deck aft beforo per
mitting her to venture forth from conceal
ment. If his search disclosed my presence,
the young woman would doubtless be or
dered to remain below. My choice or posi
tions wns easily determined. The flag locker
was unusually commodious, ns one of Car
rlngton'n hobbles was to dress the Bhlp
handsomely on every gala occasion nnd
display the colors of all nations It was
built directly against tho after-rail, and
back Into its protective shadow I silently
drew a steamer chair, concealed myself
beneath the folds of a rug and lay there
quietly. Except to a carerul investigation
which would hardly bo made my pres
ence would never be noticed.
Time dragged, but finally the bell forward
announced the hour for tho change of watch.
I was sailor enough to comprehend tho
meaning of every sound. I heard some one
walk hastily across the main deck nnd
descend through tho companion a seaman
dispatched to call the second mate.
The two came back together, and there
was a faint murmur of voices, as though
the odlcers exchanged confidences, ending
with the closing of the companion door as
Hatch finally retired below Seeley's voice
sang out nn order, something to do with
one of tho boats, and theie was a shuffling
of bare feet on the deck planks as amld
shlp the watchers responded. Tho hubbub
did not last long, nnd tho men evidently
disappeared forward, having completed their
task. Five mhiutes later, with no warning
sound of approach, I became aware that
some one had quietly rounded the end of
the cabin. Tho mate passed me by within
a few feet, so close Indeed I could dis
tinguish the buttons on his uniform nnd the
whlto cap ho woie. Nothing, however,
could havd occurred to arouse his sus
picions, for tho man did not even pause In
his slow walk, but disappeared along the
port rail Fearing ho might return, r re
mained motionless, yet was doubly assured
now that my suspicions weio about to be
verified. There was a woman concealed on
board the Esmeralda, and I would soon bo
able to solve the mystery of her presence.
I listened Intently, but could distinguish
no sound to guide me. Seeley had probably
gone forward again to Ills post on the
bridge but I dared not venture any ex
ploration Thus far my plan had worked
nlcelv and I could not now afford to ilsk
d scov'erv. She came so silently, like a gray
shadow Eliding out of the night, that she
wLs actually beside the rail, gazing stead
fastly out at the silvery water, before I was
even clearly aware of her presence I was
scarcely willing to accept the evidence of
my own eyes, yet arose slowly to a sitting
posture to observe better, dropping the rug
sUenUy on to the deotc She heard no sound
of the movement, and. with no suspicion of
any other presence near, remained motion

failed to see me. Was It you. and ate
von here again tonight to make suro?"
"Voit have guessed the exact truth." 1
confessed, almost regretfully. "Last night
It was a mere accident, but tonight my
presenco hero had an object,"
"Indeed ! Whnt interest Is It of yours?"
"None directly, except ns I am a friend
lo Mr. Carrlngtxi. the owner of this yacht,
and also his guent. Ho assured me only
this morning thnt there wns no woman on
board, nnd Inughed at me for even Imagin
ing such a thing, Naturally I desired to
vindicate myself; then, besides, tho mys
tery nlso had Its attractions,"
"No doubt ! And now that you have
progressed so fur. what further do you
purposo doing turn me over to tho au
thorities?" "I do not know," I said honestly "Rut
I am In hopes you will trust mo enouch to
explain your object In thus coming uninvited
nbo.vrd. I should prefer being your friend,
If that piove possible."
She did not answer, nppnrcntly hesitating
in surpriso at my unexpected plea, and
doubtful ns to my sincerity.
"What Is your name?"
"Robert Hollls; I live In Chicago "
Sho nodded, and I Imnglned the expres
sion of her eyes changed sllghtlv. Tho
merest semblance of a smile curved her
lips.
,"l am rather glad vou nre inv dis
coverer." she s.tld quietly, "for 1 know
who you arc. You nre not altogether n
stranger."
"1 am not'" I exclaimed In surprise,
'Oh! I understand; Seeley has told you
of me."
"Has ho Indeed! Why Seeley?"
"Ilecnusn I have some reason to believe
that tho second officer is your special friend
on board; that through his aid you have
found concealment. Am I altogether
wrong?"
"Your theory Is ceitnlnlv Inirenioiis Mav
I nsk in icturn the reason for sm.h suspi
cion?" "First, lie Is. to my judgment, the onl
approachable officer on the Esmernlda;
ho Is besides tho most likely to need
money. I have had reason to observe that
you venture on deck only during his watch,
and tonight, before you appeared, he made
a very careful survey of the deck aft pre
vious to going to tho bridge."
"Hardly a careful survey."
"I was concealed, and easily overlooked.
Po I am going to press you for tho truth:
Seeley Is In your service Is tho cause
friendship, or money?"
Sho laughed, the sound baiely audible.
yet evidence of her swift amusement.
"If I did not chance to know better. Mr.
Hollls, i should almost suspect you of
I elng a lawyer," she said cheerfully, "How
ever. In t-pite of my piesent position, I am
Inclined to be a truthful person. I fear
Mr Seeley's Interest In me Is altogether,
or at least largely, mercenary. I will con
fldo In you, and confess that he has already
cost me ouo hundred dollars, and heaven
alone knows how much moro will be ro.
quired before we attain deep water, when
1 hope to be freo from bondage,"
"Good! I am encouraged ; now you will
tell mo mote""
She shook her head.
"Not another word, sir. So far, ns they
say In New York, "you have the goods on
me,' nnd denial would be useless. Of
course, I might have told a falsehood I
am perfectly capablo of so doing, nnd had
I been conversing with some others on
board, I would have chosen to do so."
"Which would seem to Imply that you
possess a mcasuto of confidence In me?"
"I do, Mr. Hollls." quietly.
"Seeley must have given me a most ex
cellent reputation, and deserves reward."
"Mr. Seeley gave me your name as one
of the passengers, nothing more. I cannot
at present explain when, or how, I ac
quired my information regarding you. To
you 1 am a perfect stranger, nnd must re
main so, but, by some good fortune, I chance
to know enough ot jou to trust you thor
oughly as a gentleman, You understand
what I mean?"
Her eyea met mine frankly; they were
clear, honest eyes, nnd I felt that I read
their direct challenge.
"Perhaps so," I answered with a feeling
of disappointment. "Vou mean I nm to
ask no further questions? to forget. If
possible, your preFenco on board?"
"Yes- can you do this?"
"Well, to be perfectly frank, I nm not
altogether certain that I can, or that I
ought. I am Mr. Carrlngton's guest, and
owo him a certain loyalty vou admit
that"
"Yes." '
"Have I a right to conceal fiommyhost
tho knowledge which I have discovered,
that a strango joung woman ,ias been hid
den on board his yacht by one of his offi
cers?" "That must depend altogether on your
sense of duty to both Sir. Carrlngton and
myself," she returned calmly, "Do I appear
like a thief, a conspirator or In any wiy a
desperate character?"
"You appear a most charming young wo
man, whom I should be very glad tf know."
"Thank you," and her lips smiled. "Then
my case Is not quite hopeless. As a 'most
charming young woman' I unreservedly
yield myself to your protection. I cannot
tell you who I am, nor why I am on board
the Esmeralda secretly, but I give you
my word of honor that no harm shall result
from my presence to any of your friends,
nnd I only request you to remain silent for
a few hours longer."
'you intend later tc reveal yourself to
others?"
"As soon as the yacht is safely at sea,
beyond all possibility' of putting me
ashore."
I confess I was puzzled, uncertain ; my
duty to Carrlngton seemed clear enough,
and yet there was that about tho girl which
gavo me faith In her pledge. She read my
hesitation,
"Vou still doubt me, Mr. Hollls?"
"No, it is not doubt, yet I know so little.
You will, at least, trust me with your
name?" ,
Her eyes fell, shadowed by their long
lashes. For a moment she looked out across
the -a' nt the dark water beyond.
"So far as I can yes," she answered
sobeny "Vou may tall me Vera,"
CHArTKB IV
War, and a$,opper Pool ,
UTTERA." I echoed, lu some way vaguely
V conscious of a strange familiarity with
the word, yet utterly unable to Imme
diately recall the association, "that must
be your given, not your family, name?"
"And you are not satisfied at this evi
dence of my trust?" she questioned lightly.
"Usually It Is considered quite a compli
ment to be permitted to call a lady by her
V'ven name yet 1 grant you, a stranger,
this privilege." ..,,.,
"To which I am not Insensible; yours Is
not a common appellation, yet I have
known some ono so named before."
"Indeed! a friend?"
"Well, really, I cannot say: I haven't
quite figured It out yet; only the memory
haunts me oddly, as something I ought to
remember."

Rare Spectacle Wins Immediate
Approval
2D BIG WEEK
Press Unanimous in Praise
"With Geraldine Farrar, the famous
prima donna of the Metropolitan Opera
Company, in the title role, 'Joan the
Woman,' was given before a capacity
audience. Of the many wonderful pro
ductions given at this playhouse re
cently, none was more spectacular and
thrilling or more effectual and inspir
ing in enthusiastic patriotism than the
present one." PRESS.
"'Joan the Woman.' Historical
drama, based On tho life of the immor
tal Joan of Arc. That the appeal of
the photoplay is timely was shown by
applause which again and again burst
spontaneously from the audience. It
was applause which lacked no convic
tion." PUBLIC LEDGER.
" 'Joan the Woman is a picture not
to be passed by. It is a poem in cellu
loid, athrill with heroic beauty and lit
with white swords, nor is it too long,
at least for this reviewer. This motion
picture is big, beautiful and fine."
EVENING LEDGER.
" 'Joan of Arc' is a spectacle rare in
beauty of conception,, perfect jn the
wonderful completeness of minute de
tail, and marvelous in the perfecting of
its production. The audience enjoyed
to the full the best they have witnessed
in a screen showing. As 'Joan of Arc,'
Geraldine Farrar gave a portrayal that
lacked no essential. A great show."
INQUIRER.
"There is small room for exaggera
tion in the statement that 'Joan the
Woman' literally carried ite audience
out of itself- in enthusiasm and stirring
appreciation. 'Joan the Woman,' as re
gards star, is Geraldine Farrar at her
best." NORTH AMERICAN.
"Loftiness of conception, a superb art
and a story of universal appeal, combine
to make 'Joan the Woman' one of the
finest productions of the cinema."' Geral
dine Farrar seen in the title role, that
of 'Joan of Arc,' gives inspirational
nnrtrnvnl. 'Joan the. Woman' reore-
! sents the highest tvpe of motion picture
achievement." KEUVKU.
"Striking scenes of ji-geantry vivi
fying the story of the iaxmortal heroine
of France, Joan of Arc, set forth with
fine pictorial effect and dramatic im
nressiveness, is Moan the Woman the
new mm uucuhk, o wiV w " tn
