"Not thai I am afraid." I added. "But—keep the little Sloane woman at a distance. She's quite capable of mes merizing you with her eyes and rob bing you witli her hands at the same time." The murders had heen committed on the early morning of Wednesday, the 12th.' It was on the following Tues day that Mrs. Sloane and I had our| little conversation on deck. It was on Friday that Ihe incident happened that completed the demor-i a ligation of the crew. The cook, taking down the dinner on Friday evening, reported Mr. Turner | up and about and partly dressed. The heat was frightful. All day we had had a following breeze. and it had been necessary to lengthen the towing j rope, dropping the jolly boat well be hind us. The uieu. saying little or nothing, dozed under their canvas: the helmsman drooped at the wheel. Un der our feet the boards sent up sim mering heat waves, and the brasses ! were too hot to touch. At i o'clock Elsa l.ee came on deck ; and spoke to me for the tirst time in several days. She started when she saw me, and no wonder, in the fren lied caution of the day after the; crimes I had flung every razor over board, and the result was as villain ous a set of men as 1 have ever seen. "Have you been ill again?" she asked. I put my hand to my chin. "Not ill," 1 said: "merely unshaven." "But you are pale, and your eyes are ; sunk in your head.'' "We are very short handed ami no one has slept much." "The cabin is unbearable." she said j "We are willing to (nke the risk of j opening the after companion door." But I could uot allow this, and I tried to explain my reasons. The crew were quartered there for one: for the other, whether they were will ing to take the risk or not. I would not open it without placing a guard j there, aud we had no one to spare for I the duty. I suggested that ihey use ■ the part of the deck reserved for j them, where it was fairly cool under ' the awning, and after a dispute below i they agreed to thi*. Turner, very weak, came up the few steps slowly, but refused my proffered help. A lit- i tie later he called me from the rail I and offered me a cigar. The change in j him was startling. We took advantage of their being on j deck to open the windows and air the i • fter house. But all were securely locked and barred before they went below again. It was the first time | they had all been on deck together since the night of the 11th. It was a different crowd of people that sat ' there, looking over the rail aud speak ing in monosyllables—no bridge, no glasses clinking with ice. no elaborate ' toilets and carefully dressed hair, no flash of jewels, no light laughter fol ' lowing one of poor Wall's sallies. At 10 o'clock they went below, but not until 1 bad quietly located every member of the crew. 1 bad the watch from 8 to 12 that night, and at half after 10 Mrs. Johns came on deck •gain. She did not speak to me. but dropped into a steamer chair and yawned, stretching out her arms. By the light of the companion lantern 1 saw that she had put on one of the loose negligees she affected for un dress, and ber arms were bare except for a fall of lace. At eight bells (midnight) Burns took my place. Charlie Jones was at the wheel and McNamara in the crow's nest. Mrs. Johns was dozing in her chair. The yacht was making perhaps four knots, and far behind the small white light of the jolly boat showed where she rode. I slept heavily, and at eight bells 1 rolled off my blanket and prepared to relieve Burns. I was stiff, weary, un refreshed. The air was very still, and we were hardly moving. I took a pail of water that stood near the rail and. leaning far out. poured it over my head and shoulders. As 1 turned, drip ping Jones, relieved of the wheel, touched me on the arm. "Go back to sleep, boy," he said kindly. "We need you. and we're goin' to need you more when we get ashore. You've been talkin' in your sleep till you plumb beared me." But 1 was wide awake by that time, and he had had as little sleep as I had. I refused, and we went forward to gether, Jones to get coffee, which stood all night on the galley stove. It was still dark. The dawn, even in the less than four weeks we bad been out, came perceptibly later. At the port forward corner of the after house Jonei-. stumbled over some- IWflg and gave a sharp exclamation. The next moment he was on his knees, lighting a match. Burns lay there on his face, uncon scious and bleeding profusely from a ent on the back of his head, but not dead. My first thought was of the after house. Jones. TWIO had been fond of Burns, was working over htm, mutter ing to himself. I felt his heart, which wns beating slowly, but regularly, and, convinced that he was not dying, ran down into the after house. The cabin was empty. Evidently the guard around the pearl handled revolver had been, given up on the false promise of peace. All the lights wei'e going, iiowever. and the heat was suffocat lug. 1 ran to Miss l.ee's door and tried it. It was locked, but almost Instant ly she spoke from inside: "What is it?" "Nothing much. Can you come out?" She came a moment later, aud I ask ed ber to call into each cabin to see if every one was safe. The result was reassuring. No one had been disturb ed, and I was put to it to account to Miss Lee for my anxiety without tell ing her what had happened. I made some sort of excuse, which 1 have for gotten. except that she evidently did not believe it. We carried the injured man aft, and with snch Implements as I had I clean ed and dressed the wound. It needed sewinj. and it seemed best to do it be fore he regained consciousness. Jones and Adams went below to the forecas tle, therefore, and brought up my am putating set. which contained, besides Its knives, some curved needles and surgical silk, still in good condition. I opened the case, and before the knives—the long surgeon's knives which were in use before the #calpel superseded them—they fell back, mut tering and amazed. I did not know that Elsa Lee also was watching until, having requested Jones, who had been n sailmakur, to thread the needles, his . cmbling hands refused llielr duty. I looked up. search ing the group for a competent assistant, and saw the girl. She bad dressed, and the light from the lantern beside me on (he deck threw into relief her white figure among the dark ones. She came forward as my eyes fell on her. "Let me try." she said, and, kneeling by the lantern, in n moment she held out the threaded needle. Her hand was quite steady. She made an able assistant, wiping clean the oozing edges of the wound so that I could see to clip ! the bleeding vessels and working deftly j with the silk nnd needles to keep me j supplied. My old case yielded also a ' roll or so of bandage. By the time j Burns was attempting an inco-ordinate j movement or two the operation was over and the instruments put out of sight I The operating case with its knives came in for its share of scrutiny, and T felt that an explanation was due the men. To tell the truth, I had forgot ten all about the case. Perhaps T swaggered just a bit as I went ovet to wash my hands. It was my firs* opportunity, and I was young, aud the girl was there. "T see you looking at my case. hoys.' I said. "Perhaps I'm a little late ex ( plaining, but I guess after what you've seen you'll understand. The case belonged to my grandfather, who was a surgeon. He was in the war. That case was at Gettysburg." They were not so impressed as I had expected—or perhaps they had known all along. Sailors are a se cretive lot. "I'm thinking we'll all be getting a rest soon," a voice said. "Whr.t are you going to do with them knives?" I had an inspiration. "I'm going to leave that to you men," I said. "You may throw them overboard if you wilh; but if you do, take out the nee dies and the silk. We may need them." There followed a savage but re strained argument among the men. Jones from the tent called out Irrita bly: "Don't be fools, you fellows. This happened while Leslie wns asleep. I'll swear he uever moved after he lay down." The crew reached a decision shortly after that and came to me in a body. "We think," Oleson said, "that we'll lock them in the captain's cabin with the ax." "Very well." I said. "Burns has the key around his neck." Clarke, I think it was. went into the tent and came out again directly. "There's no key around his neck," he said gruffly. "It may have slipped around under his baclf." "It isn't there at all." CHAPTER XI. The Ax Is Gone. mRAN into the tent, where Jones, exhausting the resources of the injnred man's clothing, was searching the blankets on which he lay. There was no key. I went out to the men again, bewildered. The dawn had come, a pink and rosy dawn that promised another stifling day. It revealed fhe disarray of the deck—the basins, the old mahogany amputating case with its lock plate of bone, the! stained and reddened towels, and it I showed the brooding nnd overcast ! faces of the men. "Isn't it there?" I asked. "Our agree- i ment was for me to carry the key to i Singleton's cabin and Burns the cap- j tain's." Miss Lee, by the rail, came forward | slowly and looked up at me. "Isn't it possible," she said, "that, knowing where the key was, some one wished to get it, and so"- She indi cated the tent and Burns. I knew then. How dull I had been and stupid! The men caugbt her mean ing. too. and we tramped heavily for ward, the girl and I leading. The door into the captain's room wa9 open, and the ax was gone from the bunk. The key, with the cord that Burns had worn aronnd his neck, was in the door, the string torn and pulled as if it had been jerked away from the unconscious man. Later on we veil fled this by finding on the back of Burns' neck an abraded line two inch- I ordered a rigid Heart h of the de> in the ax vrns gone. Nor was It ev It l ad taken Hs lilrod.v <(„ uany fatlmms deep ii.tu the ..id Athu .ic and hidden I;, where many crim. have been hidden, in the ooze an' slime of the sea bottom. That day was memorable for mon than the attack on Burns. It marked i complete revolution in my idea of the earlier crimes and of the criminal. Two things Influenced my change of mental attitude. The attack on Burns was one. I did uot believe that Tur ner had strength enough to fell so vigorous a man. even with the capstan bar which we found lying near by, nor could he have Jerked and broken the amberllne. Mrs. Johns I eliminat ed for the same reason, of course. I could imagine her getting the key by subtlety, wheedling the impressiona ble young sailor Into compliance. But force! The second reason was the stronger. Singleton, the mate, had become a tractable and almost amiable prisoner. Like Turner, he was ugly only when he was drinking, and there was no liquor ou the Klla. He spent his days devising with hits of wire a ring puz r.le that he intended should make his fortune, and 1 believe he contrived finally a clever enough bit of foolery. The morning of Burns' Injury I vis ited Singleton. The new outrage, coining at a time when they were slowly recovering con fidence, had turned the men surly. They weut doggedly about their work, and whenever they gathered there was muttered tall; of the white figure. There was grumbling, too, over their lack of weapons for defense. The cook was a ringleader of the malcontents. Certain utensils were al lowed him, but he was compelled at night to lock them in the galley after either Bums' inspection or mine and to turn over the key to one of us. On the morniug after the attack, therefore. Tom, carrying Singleton's breakfast to him. told him at length what had occurred iu the night and dilated on his lack of self defense should an attack be directed toward him. I Singleton promptly offered to make | him out of wire a key to the galley j door, so that he could get what he I wanted from it. The cook was to take jan impression of the lock. In ex j change Tom was to fetch him from a hiding place which Singleton designat ed in the forward house a bottle of whisky. The cook was a slirewu mulatto, and he let Singleton make the key. It wa« ' after 10 that morning when he brought iit to me. I was trying to get the de : tails of his injury from Burns at the time in the tent. "I didn't see or hear anything, Les lie," Burns said feebly. "I don't even remember being hit. I felt there was some one behind me. That was all." "How long was Mrs. Johns on deck?'' "Not long." ! "Did she ask you to do something for 1 her?" Pale as he was he colored, but he eyed me honestly. "Yes. Don't ask me any more, Les lie. It had nothing to do with this." "What did she ask you fo do?" I per sisted remorselessly. "I don't want to talk. My head aches." "Very well. Then I'll tell you what happened after I went off watch. No. I wasn't spying. I know the woman, that's all. She said you looked tired and wouldn't it be all right if you sat down for a moment and talked to her." "No; she said she was nervous." "The same thing, only better. Then she persisted in talking of the crime, and finally she said she would like to see the ax. It wouldn't do any harm. She wouldn't touch it." To Be Continued.

EVENING ir,r: Children, lOc row, will bo n distinct novelty—Robert j Campbell's production, "The Hound-1 Up.'' As the title* auil lovale of the; sceues i nil bates, it is a western play, I 'but not in the sense in which this term I is generally used. The story is said to | be a. powerful aud rational one, true to j human life, and presents none of the clap-trap, wild-and-woolly situations sometimes seen in plays laid in the lo cality selected by this author, and pre senting characters of the type which tell the storv. The tale of "The Round- Lp is told in four acts, wit'h scenes | which represent the court yard of the! Allen ranch at Sweetwater, the living! room of .lack Payson's ranc'h three! months later, the mountain and the desert known as the ''Bad Lauds" of I Arizona, and a typical Arizona scene! representing a cattle round-up.'' Adv. J "Freckles" If only the people who have read the j book turn out to see the play, A. t;.! Delamater s production of " Freu-kles," ) 'by Gene Stratton-Porter. author of "A Girl of the Limberlost" and "The Har vester," is sure to draw crowded bouses I at tthe IMa.jestic Thursday matinee and night. In the abstract, strong stories fail to make strong plays. but "Freckles" has seemed to 'be the ex ception, proving as griipping to the the atregoer as to the novel reader, and re quiring no familiarity with the book to furnis"h complete enjoyment of tlici drama. After "Freckles" scored n sue-1 cess last season. Delaniater sent five' companies out in the play which broke I records for big 'business in many the- > trtros. Adv. j "The Charming Widows" - j " Burlesque that's a bit different" is the c laim made for tthe show to be giv-| en at the' Majestic next l-Viday, matinee and night, by "The Charming Wid ows." a new organization which has! proved to be one rff the big successes > 011 the burlesque cirvuit. The producers ' in putting the show together endeavor e,l to get away from the old horse play,! slap stick type of burlesque and they j have succeeded wonderfully well. The! result is an # entertainment Which is an j enjoyable mixture of burlesque, musical comedy anil vaudeville and which is em ■ bellished with a number of feature acts, i Adv. j j Myrklo-Harder Stock Co. TOie Majestic offers to its patrons for; the entire week beginning next-Monday, the Mvrkle-Harder Stock Co. This pop-! ular organization will | resent a line of i high class plays never before seen in { this city at popular prices. The opening! pia.v selected for 'Monday afternoon ! and evening, "Elevating a 'Husband," j will be presented with the entire New York production. Tile repertoire for the | balance of the week includes Cohan j and 'Harris' mystery fai'-e, "Stop Thief;" Paul Armstrong's greatest suc cess, "The K«cape:" David ißelasco's beautiful production of "The (firl of the Golden West," "What Happened to 'Alary" and "Fnder Southern Skies." Adv. At the Orpheum Such a galaxy of stars has not been seen at the Orpheurti this season as the new week ser\es to bring forth. If! they were the kin,l of stars that can I twinkle.'Lo ust street would lcok more like a firmament than theatrical t'nor-1 oug'iifare. But. they don't happen to he: that- kiml of stars. No. The Orpheum's . stars glitter in daytime as much as night, they're stars of many moods and temperaments and those that come here this week are as well known to the atrical managers as t'he important star lights are known to the astronomer. Names like Sophie Barnard, a star to admire; like Lou Anger, a German com edy star, who knows more about war than Germany does: M-s. Gene Hughes, the star of "Youth" with a fine cast, j who will make us laugh in spite of our- I selves at her new vehicle, "Lady Gos-1 sip;" the Six Military Dancers, a sex ! tetof terpsi' horean stars, and John Hen- ! sliaw and Grace Avery, of musical 'com-1 edv fame, who will have a clever ve hicde of soug, dance and clever non sense. Aside from these five beadliners ' there will be two other Keith hits of' almost equal importance and merit. The names, however, are new to local vaude ville devotees, being Swain Ostnian trio and Kolb and Harlaml. Adv, At the Colonial "The Fun Shop" is the title of a rollicking juvenile musical comedy with pretty and youthful girls and clever comedians, that comes to head the fes tivities at the Colonial for the first half of t'he week.
