I "Exactly! Well, the ax is gone." He sta-ted ur> on his elbow . j "Gone!" ■ | "Thrown overboard, probably. It is i i not in the cabin." It was brutal, perhaps, but the sit -1 j nation was all of that. As Burns fell ; back, colorless. Tom. the cook, brought I into the tent the wire key that Siu . gleton had made. That morning I took from inside of » Singleton's mattress a bunch of keys, a long steel file and the leg of one of his chairs, carefully unscrewed and wrapped at the end with wire—a for midable club. One of the keys opened Singleton's door. That w?s on Saturday. Early Mon j day morning we sighted laud, j We picked up a pilot outside -the Lewes breakwater—a man of few I words. I told him only the outline of I our story, aud I believe he half dis credited me at first. God knows I ; was not a creditable obeet. When 1 j took him aft and showed him the jo! ly boat he realized at last that he wa j face to face with a great tragedy ami . paid it the tribute of throwing aw.iv his cigar. He suggested our raising the vellon plague ting, and this we did. with :> ready response from the qnarantiu> officer.

"Evo-v stain is a clew-, uiv man. to the trained eye." h? chirruped. "Wita an ax. too! What a brutal method! Brutal! Where is the ax?" "Gone." 1 said patiently. "It was stolen out of the captain's cabin." He eyed me over his glasses. "That's very strange." he comment ed. "No stains, no ax! You fellows have been mighty careful to destroy the evidence, haven't you?" Williams, the butler, had emerged from his chrysalis of flight, and was ostentatiously looking after the fam ily's comfort. No clearer indication cottid have been given of the new stat us of affairs than his changed atti tude toward me. He came tip to me j early in the afternoon and demanded 1 that I wash down the deck before the j women came up. "Wiiliams." I said, "you are a cow i ard—a mean, white liveied coward. Vou have skulked in the after bouse, i behind women, when there wa« man's work to do. If I wash that deck it will be with you as a mop." He blustered something about speak ing to Mr. Turner and. seeing that I did the work I was brought on board i «^ 'Mil I M "With an a*, too! What a brutal mathod!" »o do. and. seeing Turner's eye on us, i finished his speech with an ugly epi- 1 ! thet. My nerve.-, were strained to the . utmost. Lack of sleep and food hud !f lone their work. I was no longer in 0 command of the Ella. I was a com i-1 mon sailor, ready to vent by spleen •• through my fists. [i 1 knocked him down with my open hand. !' It was a barbarous aud a reckless r thing to do. He picked himself up and limped away, muttering. Turner had watched the scene with his cold (i blue eyes, and the little doctor with his uearsighted ones. < "A daugerous man. that!" said the doctor. , "Dangerous and intelligent." replied Turner. "A bad combination." It was late thjit night when the Ella anchored in the river at Philadelphia. We were not allowed to land. The po s lice took charge of ship, crew and pas sengers. The men slept heavily on deck, except Burns, who developed a 1 j slight fever from bis injury, and t moved about restlessly. It seemed to me that the vigilance of the officers was exerted largely to , prevent an escape from the vessel and not sufficiently for the safety of those f on board. I spoke of this, and a guard , was placed at the compauionway again. Thus I saw Elsa I.ee for the , last time until the trial. She was dressed, as she had been in 1 the afternoon, in a cioth suit of some sort, and cn I**,l me to join her where she stood. S "We are back agaiu. I-eslie.". "Yes. Miss I.ee." "Back to —what? To live the whole thing over again in a courtroom! If. only we could go away, anywhere, and! try to forget!" She had not expected any answer. | and 1 had none ready. I was thinking —heaven help me—that there were j things I would not forget if I could i —the lift of her lashes as she look ed up at me. the few words we had ; had together the day she had told me the deck was uot clean, the night I had touched her hand with my lips. "You have been very good to us." she said wistfully. "We hi've all been strained and nervous. Maybe you have not thought I noticed or—or nppreci ! nted what you were doing, but I have | always. You have given all of your- j t self for us. ami now you are going tc ! be Imprisoned. Tt isn't just!" I tried to speak lightly, to reassure h«>r. "Don't be unhappy about that." I*] said. "A n'ce. safe jail, where one may sleer> and eat r.nd eat and sleep-- j oh. I shall be very ••onifortable! And! if yon wish to make me exceedingly ! happy you will see that they let me j hare a raror." I But to my surprise she buried her j face in her arms. I could not believe : at first that she was crying. The po- j fireman had wandered across to the I nther rail and stood looking out at the city lights, his back to us. ' put j my band out to touch her soft h; ir. | then drew it back. I could not take advantage of her sympathy, of t'ue i hysterical excitement of that last j right on the El'a. I put my hands in I my pockets aud held them there. j clinched, lest, in spite of my will. I i reach out to take her in my arms. j CHAPTER XII.

At dawn, the morning a'ter we sn cboied. Charlie Jones roused me. grin ning. "Friend of yours over the rail. Les- , lie." he said. "Wants to take you I ashore." I knew no one in Philadelphia ex-1 cept the chap who had taken me yachting once, and I felt pretty cer- ; tain that he would not associate I.es lie the football player with Leslie the j sailor on the Kllu. I went reluctant- ' ly to the rail and looked down. Be low me. just visible In the river mist of the early morning, was a small boat, from which two men were look- j ing up. One was McWhirter! "Hello, old top!" he cried. "Or is it you behind that beard?" "It's I. all right. Mac." I said, some- . what huskily. What with seeing him ; again, hi* kindly face behind its g;asses. the cheerful faith in me which was bis contribution to our friend ship—even the way be shook bis own hand in default of mine—my throat tightened. Here, after all. was home and a friend. He looked up at the rail aud mo tioned to a rope that hung there. "Get your stuff and come with us for i breakfast." be said. "You look as if; i you hadn't eaten since you left." "I'm afraid 1 can't. Mac." "They're not going to bold you. are < they?" j "For a day or so. yes." Mac's reply to this was a violent ! 1 resume of the ancestry and present j lost condition of the Philadelphia po- j i lice, ending with a request that I j i jump over and let them go to the 1 place he bad just designated as their t abiding place iu eternity.

At the last moment, fearful that the police might not know who I was. he had Bung in a scrap book iu which be had ' pasted—with a glue that was to make i his fortune—records of my exploits on I the football field. j A dozen ihiles from Philadelphia the : little machine had turued over on a curve, knocking all the law and most of the enthusiasm out of Walters, the | legal gentleman, and smashing the ' j brandy bottle. McWhirter had picked liimself up. kicked viciously at the car | and. gathering up his impedimenta, i had made the rest of the journey by 1 1 foot and street car. His wrath at finding roe a prisoner was unbotmded. His scorn at Wal ters. the attorney, for not confound | ing the police with law enough to free j nie was furious and contemptuous. , j He picked .tip the oars in sullen si ! lence and. leaning on them, called a loud and defiant farewell for the bene fit of the officer. "All right." he said. "An hour or so won't make much differen 'c. H you'll be free today, all right, all right. And don't let them blufT you, boy. If the police get funny tackle ! 'em and throw "em overboard, one by 1 cue. You can do it." He made an insulting gesture at the police, picked up his oars and rowed away into the mist. ! But 1 was not free that day. nor for many days. As I had expected. Tur ner. his family. Mrs. Johns aud the stewardess were released after ex amination. The rest of- us were taken to jail—Singleton as a suspect, the others to make sure of their presence at the trial. | The murders took place on the morning of Aug. 12. The grand jury met late in September and found an indictment agaiust Singleton. The trial began on the 16th of November. 1 The confinement was terrible. Ac -1 customed tir regular exercise as I was, I suffered mentally and physically. I heard nothing from Elsa i>e. and I missed McWhirter. who had got his hospital appointment and who wrote me cheering letters on pages torn from order books or on prescription blanks. He was in Boston. He got leave of absence for the trial, and. as 1 explained, the follow ing notes are his. not mine. The case ! was tried in the United States court j before Circuit Judge Wiliard and Dis trict Judge McDowell. The United States was represented by a district attorney and two assistant attorneys. Singleton had retained a lawyer nam ed Goldstein, a clever young Jew. I was called first, as having found ! f fhe bodies. : "Your name?" "Ralph I "State what happened on the night of Aug. 11 and early morning of ! Aug. 12." , ( "I slept in the storeroom in the after bouse. As it was very hot. I aiwa.vs left the door open. The storeroom It self was a small room lined with , shelves and reached by a passageway. The door was at the end of the pas- j/ sage. I wakened because of the heat and found the door locked on the out side. 1 lit a match and found I could i unscrew the lock with my knife. 1 thought I bad been locked in as a joke by the crew. While I was kneeling some one passed outside the door."
