THE AFTER HOUSE
A Story of Lovo, Mystery and a Private Yacht

"That is im. ~ Keeping."
"I do mil believe you I"
"I am sorry." i said shortly. "As ;i i
twitter of fiirt. Burns lias that."
By the look of triumph in her e.ves j
' knew 1 bird toid her what she want
ed to know. v, '(> "-t'lii liptow soon aft
er. and I warned Burns that h° would
probably lie approached tu the same
way.
"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>

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."
