"No," stammered Neal, "I—l don't
know what it is." The examiner knew
It however, for the thing it was. He
grabbed Neat's hand and snatched the
paper from him.
"Oh!" he said, "the missing dupli
cate—questions and answers both. No
wonder Hardin's papers' were well
nigh perfect"
He turned to the congressman—who
nodded understandingly.
"I don't know how it got there,"
stammered Neal. "I didn't put it there
—I never saw the thing before. On
my honor —"
"Pah," cried the congressman, his
©yes flashing, "look at it —thumbed
and soiled —he's had It for a week—
he's learned the thing by heart."
Angrily he tore up the honor slip—
tore up Neal's answers—and flung
them to the floor. He pointed to the
door.
"Go," he exclaimed, "the navy's well
rid of sneaks lika you."
Once outside his pace slackened. He
didn't want to go home. And yet he
must go home —he'd have to tell them
all about it—tell hist mother —tell An
nette —how much would they believe?
Again a friendly hand was placed
upon his shoulder. Again it was Joe
Welcher. He sighed with relief. "Look
here, Joe," he pleaded, "you don't
think I did this thing?"
Joe shrugged his shoulders. "It's
all right, old man," he said finally, "re
member, no matter what has happened
I'm your friend."
Side by side they entered the cot
tage. Annette was there —so was
Neal's mother—both waiting eagerly.
Neal strode to the table, and faced
to the two women, the young one and
the old. He started to speak. Then
he slumped down into a chair and hid
his face in his hands.
"I'm disgraced," he cried, "you—you
tell 'em, Joe."
Welcher told them—with consider
able unction, putting in fancy touches
of his own.
Neal sprang to his feet—his face
ablaze with anger and determination.
"Never mind," he cried, "I can't get
Into Annapolis—but I can get into the
navy and I will. Mother —Annette—
Jo© —I've got to go—the navy calls for
me. I'm going to enlist. I've got to
P>."
CHAPTER XIV.
Wind and Limb.
Dress suit case in hand Neal stopped
in front of a cigar store in New York.
Next to the cigar store was an en
trance to a stairway that led to the
second floor above. In front of this
entrance paced an officer in uniform.
"Recruiting station?" queried Neal,
ealuting.
"Nothing but," returned the man in
uniform, "you're as welcome as the
flowers in May. Ascend." He waved
his hand invitingly. Neal ascended.
Half an hour later he had regularly
enrolled—he was an apprentice sea
man in the navy. The United States '
at its own expense shipped him with
a squad of recruits to the naval train
ing school at Norfolk.
As the hours flew by, Neal's eyes
were opened. He loved the sea —had
always loved it. He plunged into the
lif© of an apprentice seaman.
H© wrote his mother and Annette
that afternoon after drill was over.
"This is the life," he said to them,
"I've been fighting all the afternoon—
aiming thirteen inch guns at hostile
battleships, handling a cutter: splicing
ropes, tying sailor's knots, cutting off
imaginary heads with cutlasses—and
tonight for the first time since the
eruption of Mt. Pelee, I'm sleeping in
a hammock. This is the life and no
mistake. We even have the pie that
mother used to make."
Neal's letter reached home next day.
And next day something else hap
pened. Joe Welcher burst into the liv
ing room at the Hardin cottage, early
in the evening, with the local paper, !
still damp from the press, in his hand, i
"I've just sent one of these to Neal," i
he said, "and here's a copy for you. |
Read it, Annette. Now what have you 1
got to say."
Annette read It. This is what it i
said:
JOSEPH WELCHER OF SEAPORT
WINS ANNAPOLIS APPOINTMENT.;
In Congressman James J. Prime's
recent competitive examination for J
the Annapolis appointment, Joe Welch- i
er, our young townsman, came very
near the hundred mark and distanced
all his fellows. Good work, Welcher. j
Seaport will back you through Annap
olis and through the navy. Become •
an admiral. Hitch your wagon to a
•tar.
Mrs. Hardin, Joe's foster mother,
caught him in her arms. "Both my
boys—Neal and Joe—!n the navy," she
exclaimed.
"Yes," returned Welcher, with a
sneer, "but there's a difference. I go
in as an officer—and Neal's nothing
but a common seaman, understand?" j
Annette flushed, but gave no other

CHAPTER XV.
Finesse.
It was somewhat early In the morn
ing. Joe Welcher, seated at a round
table lu the Seaport house bar, still
celebrated with three boon compan
ions, his success as a passer of com
petitive examinations. SuddenT> the
window was raised —swiftly but noise
lessly, and from without.
One of Joe's friends across the table
rose, with terror written on his face.
He pointed with his finger at the win
dow.
"Look, look," he cried. They looked.
A long tbin, gristly brown arm with
long clawlike fingers, thrust itself
through the window and thrust a fold
ed piece of paper into the breast
pocket of Joe Welcher's coat. Joe
sprang to his feet, crouched terror
stricken in the corner, shielding his
face witli his arm. His three cronies
leaped to the window, and looked out.
There was a moon. But there was no
one to be seen. The owner of the
hand and arm had disappeared. Welch
er, coming to himself, clutched at the
note, and unfolded it and read.
My Charming Friend: (it said)
Once more I have returned from New
York. I stay at Lonesome Cove Inn.
Meet me there tomorrow afternoon —
perhaps I should say—this afternoon
—at three. It is of Importance. When
you come, inquire for Inez Castro —I
have used that name in order that
certain mutual friends might not hear
of It. As over,
Irene Courtier.
That afternoon at three Lonesome
Cove—three mileß north of Seaport—
W'as graced by the presence of Joe
Welcher. Welcher made a bee line
for the cafe and prdperly spiced up
hia breath before proceeding to keep
the rendezvous. Then he approached
Mulligan, the ill favored proprietor.
"You got a certain party here of the
name of Inez Costro," whispered
Welcher to Mulligan.
"What's that to you," said Mulligan.
Welcher produced his note —the note
produced an unusual effect upon Mul
ligan. He dropped his surliness, and
with a wink beckoned to Welcher;
leading him down a dim corridor. "Go
up that there staircase," he command
ed, "and knock at Number Seven."
"I sent for you," Inez began, "that
you should do a favor for me—"
Welcher seized her hand. That was
his undoing. In a moment she was in
bis arms, struggling. He kissed her
full upon the lips.
"I'll go to hell and back for you," he
said. Struggling, she half screamed.
Then something happened. Unknown
to Welcher, the door of Room Seven
opened noiselessly, and a well dressed
man, with a saber cut across his face,
entered on tiptoe. He closed the door
behind him, and stood there, watching
the struggle, silent, sinister.
Suddenly Inez screamed. She re
leased herself from Welcher's arms—
and reeled against the table, her eyes
wide with fright.
"M; —my husband," she gasped. Sh#
held out her hands pleadingly toward
the newcomer. Welcher cowered in
abject terror.
"It was nothing—nothing," gasped
Inez, "a bit of play—nothing else—be
lieve me—"
Hernandez smiled—a wicked smile.
He never looked at Inez. He glared at
Joey Welcher.
"So I see," he said, "a bit of play."
H© whistled. The door opened once
again. Two figures entered—the brute
and Ponto. Hernandez gave a sign—
and the brute picked Joe Welcher up,
whirled him in the air, and brought
him down seated at the fable. This
was the added finishing touch to make
Joe realize his helplessness. Hernan
dez clapped his hands and the brute
left the room. Ponto, the fat Mexi
can, curled himself up underneath tlie
table. Hernandez seated himself.
"A bit of play," laughed Hernandez,
harshly. Then his brow furrowed with
wrinkles, his eyes became stern.
"Young sir," he said, "your foster
Bister is one Annette Illington. You
live in th© same house with her. Sha
has in her possession a small oilskin
packet—a yellow packet possibly
you've seen it?"
He waited for an answer. Joe mois
tened his dry lips and nodded.
"Well and good," went on Hernan
dez, "that packet is mine—it belongs
to me. You shall steal It from her—
steal It for me. You understand?"
Hernandez smiled. Then his face
froze. His hand darted forward and
h© clutched Welcher by the wrist.
"My young friend," went on Hernan
dez, "you are a crook. I have watched
you from first to last. Always I have
watched you. I watched you whil©
you mad© love to my young wife this
day. I watched you when you stole
her money from her a week or so
ago."
"Give m© a drink," cried Welcher,
"go on. What do you want me to do?"
