"Oui, mademoi selle," lie returned. "Where la he now?" she queried cautiously. "Where he said he would wait —by the postern garden gate," returned the bearer. Disarmed, she followed this man Into the shadows. In another Instant she had reached a carriage and an instant later some thing descended over her head, smoth erlng her cries—something bound hei arms to her side. But the smugglei had been right. Neal was there, bound and speechless—helpless on the bot torn of the carriage. An instant later the vehicle rattled sharply off into the night. CHAPTER XXVIII. The Sponge Diver. Annette opened wide her eyes. She uttered an exclamation of delight ae Bhe saw Neal Hardin. "Well, we're here," she said. "I should think we were," said Neal He looked about him. Annette wa» bound firmly to the only chair in the place and ho was tied quite as firmly to a stanchion in another corner. The place was a rude hut. "I see," said Neal, "that we're not alone." "Obviously not," returned Annette On the floor between them lay the brute resting but wide eyed with the lash of a whip lying across his shoul ders. Ponto, the Mexican, watched red eyed and gloating. Something happened in a corner. A portion of the floor rose from the ground and two men struggled up from a passageway. One of them waf Hernandez; the other was the smug gler of Martinique. Hernandez nod ded to Neal and to Annette. He took from his pocket a tattered parchment map which he had pasted well to gether. "It is the map of the lost Isle o) Cinnabar," he said in suave accents l "and I hav/s other evidence besides.' He glanced uncertainly toward the brute. "An Identifying locket," he went on, "and other things." "What do you expect to do with them?" said Annette belligerently £lou are not Annette Ilington." ▼ Hernandez smiled—smiled a bit toe grimly. "Perhaps," he said, "I can find some Annette Ilington who will do my bidding. At any rate there will hereafter be no Annette Ilington who will try to thwart me." Neal started. "What do you mean?" he said. "I mean/' returned Hernandez, with a gesture toward the smuggler of Mar tinique, "that in all parts of the world I am able to find people who do my bidding. This gentleman can do it well. I may as well tell you, children, that you have perhaps an hour to live, perhaps less." The brute looked up, his eyes glassy, strange. He rubbed a red spot on his arm—the mark left by Hernan dez' hypodermic needle. "You are right, Ponto," said Hernan dez, "It was the only way to drug him. Lend me your whip." He seized the whip and struck the brute heavily across the shoulders. The brute sprang to his feet, growling in his throat, but he fell back before Hernandez. Ponto untied a single knot —the knot that bound Neal to a stanchion. Then at another word the brute Beized Neal, struggling, in his arms, and with him descended through the passageway. Annette viewed this proceeding with alarm. She struggled fiercely. Five minutes later the brute re turned and once more under the sting ing lash of the whip seized Annette and bor& her below. Hernandez and his two companions followed them down. "Ah," said the smuggler to Neal and Annette, "this house has all appoint ments. This is the swimming pool, my friends. You can swim here for one hour—or less. This is in truth a cavern of death. I hate to do it," he added Just before he disappeared, "but needs must when the devil drives." There was a click as the stone trap dropped into plaoe. "This is a pretty pickle," exclaimed Neal to Annette. They were lying on opposite sides of that black pool. "If you can crawl," said Neal, "crawl for your life." Annette understood. Little by little Neal worked himself along his side of the ledge and Annette along hers, each gradually approaching the other around the circle. Finally their heads Pouched. "Careful," said Neal; "close to the wall. Now let me have your hands. Let mo unbind you first." On the surface of the earth above Hernandez and his companions loaded their cases into a cart and drove far across the wilderness into a ravine. "Here," said the man of Martinique, lifting up the cover of a metal box set in the rock, "here is the switch of Neal of the Navy SHOWN IN MOVING PICTURES rriT mVTTAT EACH WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY Season's Greatest Movie Serial WEDNESDAY EVENING, which I spoke. One turn of the wrist— pouf—then oblivion." "I gave them an hour," said Hernan dez grimly, "and I keep my word. Let us drink." On the shore below the cliff at the foot of the forbidding Razor Back a sponge diver disported himself in the water beside his boat, cutting and tearing sponges from their nativ« 'home of rock and coral for a living ■Then suddenly he forgot the business of collecting sponges. He rose again, empty handed this time, and dived again, peering at some' thing strange and new. Then with downward-slanting strokes he sud denly disappeared. He came up in an j jinstant in almost total darkness, then | ibobbing on the surface he rubbed hi& j eyes, jabbering excitedly. "Hey there," cried a voice, "and who are you?" The sponge diver jabbered some more. Well might he jabber. It was a strange Bight that confronted him Two young people were seated almost ] in darkness on the edge of a black pool. "How did you get here?" queried Neal. The man for all his jabbering was polyglot. He knew pidgin English and Neal knew how to talk it, so they got along admirably together. Neal told him his story. The man climbed ujj ; upon the ledge and listened eagerly. Suddenly he grew excited. It was evi dent that he knew the reputation of this place. "You come with me—come right away," he said. Neal set the fast-waning lantern by Annette's side. "One moment, dear,' 1 he said to Annette, "and I will be back If what he says is true —" In another instant with his hand on the shoulder of the sponge diver, Neal was swimming down, down toward the outer opening. As he saw the light filtering in from underneath he gave a gasp that almost choked him. In another Instant he had returned for Annette, and with her at his side the two swam in the direction that the I diver had taken. The sponge diver, still gesticulating excitedly, hauled them raptdly into his small boat. "Mo row, you row—like the devil," ho exclaimed. Neal rowed like the devil, and the flat-bottomed boat skimmed over the water like mad. Suddenly Annette in the bow extended her right arm. "Look, look, Neal," she exclaimed, "for God's sake, look." Neal heard first, then he looked, and as he looked the whole face of that huge cliff behind them thrust itself Into the air and with a mighty roar dropped into the sea. "It's Mount Pelee," cried Annette, covering her face with her hands. Neal shook his head. "That isn't i Pelee," he returned grimly, it's dyna- I mite —if I know anything of dyna mite." SYNOPSIS.

"But, charming friend Annette," she cried, "you have been snatched liter ally from the Jaws of death." She wrung her hands in despair. She turned to Neal and laid her hand upon his arm.
