" 1t was as I had suspected. ‘lhe yacht
had got under way, and was sailing out
of the harbor to eastward, between the
islands, as the wind did not ‘admit of
steering in a northerly direction. - We
were already about a quarter of a mile
away from the anchorage.
“On our next tack we shall clear Tun-
gendess,” continued Mr. Howell, “and
then you know for yourselves how far
it is out to sea.”
"I looked at Monk. and I must con-
fess my heart beat quicker than usual;
but Monk smiled back in a manner
avhich plainly said that nothing unex-
pected had happened.
Presently a great whining sound cut
through the air and forced its way
through the open port-hole in the cabin.
Monk, with a friendly nod to the Eng-
lishman, asked: 8 ?
“What do you think that is?”
“It’is the grey gunboat, which is try-
ing her steam whistle; but I promise
we shall not be long troubled by her in-
fernal noise; the wind freshens.”
1ne Englishman threw himself com-
fortably into a chair.
"This won’t do any longer, Mr. How-
ell,” said Monk, and this time his voice
was again sharp and stern. “I suspected
you would try and play us this trick, and
so make your position worse, and so I
allowed you to try it.”
“What the devil do you mean?”
“Be silent, and listen to me. It is time
we came to. the serious part of the busi-
ness. The noise we heard comes, as you
say, from the gunboat, and it was the
signal which to me means that at this
moment she is getting under way and
making for this yacht. When she is
.alongside us, she will, by persuasion or
force, compel you to turn back to Sta-
vanger harbor. With this wind the yacht
jiakes. five or six knots, while the gun-
‘boat makes sixteen; so you can calcu.
* late f8% vourself how long it will take
© ‘before she is alongside us.”
Tt was a study to watch the English-
man’s face as Monk spoke; it became
pal snd green with onger and disap-
pointment. But he still tried to hold
the position.
Dn you mean to tell me that a Nor-
}
?
we~i~n ounboat dares to stop an Eng-
fish yacht which has done nothing un-
lawful? It will cost the captain his
position. if no more; you know that, as
weil as I do.”
“This morning, at nine o'clock,” an-
swer- Monk, quietly, “I was on board
the ¢":+ 5... and after having stated my
cas: the aptain gave orders to fire up.
‘At twelve the steam would be up, and
until then I postponed my visit to your
yacht. I informed the captain that 1
had business on board here, but that it
was not improbable we might be ex-
posed to violent treatment. It was ar-
ranged that if we did not leave the yacht
within two hours, the captain was to
send a boat and fetch us; and if the
Bed yacht weighed anchor without our hav-
ing left, the gunboat was to follow and
compel the yacht to return. Do you
think the captain will hesitate at stop-
ping thé yacht, when he knows that two
Norwegian subjects are retained on
board by force? Give orders to tack
about and let the yacht again anchor,
and the’ gunboat will not trouble us.
That's the only way in which you can
avoid a scandal. Do you understand
me?”
The Englishman did not at first an-
swer a word, but he made a wry face.
After a short pause he violently pulled
a bell rope, which hung beside his chair,
and the captain of the yacht entered,
with his gold-braided cap in hand.
“Let her tack back again and anchor
where she was lying, Captain Watkins.
These gentlemen have forgotten some-
‘thing ; we must put off our little cruise
till toomorrow.”
“I am glad to see you have come back
to. your senses, Mr. Howell; you know
your attempt to carry me andmy- friend
away has made your case still worse.
“1 will openly admit that I have no war-
rant of arrest against you, but the re-
sult of this little escapade will be that
neither the captain 'fithe gunboat nor
the police will hesitate in/detaining you
here until such a warrant can be ob-
tained from Christiania.”
“What do you demand of me?”
“I have told you once before—a clear
and concise ‘account of all you know
about the diamond robbery in Mr.
Frick’s house six years ago.”
There was again a pause for some sec-
onds. The Englishman then threw his
elgar on the floor with an oath. “You
ean put the questions, and I will answer,
But it must be also understoodthat you
take no proceedings against me for any
, part in the case.”
' “It is very wise of you to, make that
condition. You have.deceived the court,
and committed perjury. It would cost
you many years of your liberty if the
arm of the law reached you. But we
undertake not to proceed against you,

Miss Frick, as she was then, had noth-
ing to do with the robbery.”
“Very well; I am willing. Ask, and I
will reply.”
“Who was it you photographed in the
museum in front of the cupboard with
the black diamond in her hand? I mean
the photograph which you later on hand-
ed over to the court.”
“It was the maid—Evelina Reierson;
wasn’t that her name?”
“And you saw that she took the dia-
mond and went away with it?”
“You
“Was it quite accidentally that you
happened to take the photograph? It
was taken from the reflection in a mir-
ror, was it not?”
“Yes, it was taken in a mirror. I
came quite by accident‘into the museum,
and she was so taken up with examin-
ing the diamond that she did not aotice
my presence until I had already photo-
graphed her. I knew she was doing
something wrong, and thought there
would be no harm in photographing
her.” g
“Why did you turn toward the glass,
instead of taking the photograph di-
rect? You stood behind her, did” you
not?”
“Well, yes,” said the Englishman,
looking suspiciously at Monk, whose
face was immovable. “Yes, I did. It was
by mere chance I turned my apparatus
toward the glass.” .
“How did the diabolical idea enter
your head to make use of the photo-
graph as evidence against Miss Frick?”
“Diabolical’ or not diabolical, she had
offended me, no matter how, and I re-
venged myself. I had never taken a
photograph in a mirror before, and so
I examined the picture with the magni-
fying glass. You know how interested
I am in snap-shots.’
“Oh, yes; and then you observed all
that about the clock—the right and left
hands, and all the rest of it?”
“Exactly; it occurred to me that it
might turn out unpleasant enough for
‘Miss Frick. So I waited till.the case
came before the court, and then I sent a
note to the counsel for the defence,
which told him how he could get’ his
client, oft.” 2
“How did you know Miss Frick had
been to the pawnbroker’s? Speak out;
‘for the sooner this is over, the better.”
“Well, T knew young Frick had got
into difficulties—the young greenhorn
would insist on playing high with me
and my friends—and I knew, too, that
he had written his uncle’s name on a
bill for, four, thousand kroners.”
“And you did not help him? It would
have been an easy matter for yow.”
“That’s nothing to do with the matter.
The. sooner we ‘are finished, the better.
Wasn't that what you said? Well, he
wrote from Hamburg to his sister, and
begged her to pay in the four thousand
kroners to a well-known bill-discounter.,
That is why she tried to raise money on
her jewels.
discounter applied to old Frick, who,
without saying a word, paid the bill
He guessed at once ‘that his nephew
‘had forged his name.” be
“How did you get to know all this?”
“Well, that’s nothing to do with the
matter, It is enough for you to know
that I had my interests to look after,
and that one always finds helpers when
one has got money.” :
“And then what about your relation
with Evelina? How do you explain
that?” :
“To hell with you and your questions!
Is i$ necessary for you to know more?
Well, never mind! I got to know of her
relations with the actor; I surprised
them onee in the garden at Ballarat.
After the arrest I sent her a letter
wherein I professed deep sympathy with
her case, and told her if she would deny
everything and keep silent I would do
my best to get her acquitted so that
she could marry her lover.”
“It was, then, to get money for him
that she stole the diamond?”
“The actor, as you may guess, had
seduced her, but refused to. marry her
unless she would provide money so that
they could leave the country. He made
a fool of her twice. I fancy, however,
it was more for the sake of giving the
child a father, than anything else, that
made her so anxious to marry that fel-
low.”
“He got the five thousand kroners, |
then? What did he do with them?”
“He succeeded in depositing them
with a friend in Gothenburg, before he
was arrested; but when he came there
again his friend had vanished. In any
case, he wrote to that effect, when he
afterward tried to get money out of me.
I told him, of course, to go to the devil.”
“Will you write down what you have
told us, and put your name to it? Re-
member, we must have positive proof of
my wife's innocence. That was the con-
dition upon which we were to let you
go, without mixing up the police in the
matter.”
i
We heard the noise and trample of
feet on the deck, and the rattling of the
chain cable when ithe anchor: fell.
We. were again in, Stavanger harhor.
Soon after a grating sound. was heard
alongside; the yacht, and the sound of
many oars which were shipped.
“There is the boat from the gun-
boat,” exclaimed Monk. “You have not
much time for considering.”
“You shall have the proof. I have
something which is just as good as a
written declaration.”
“Wait a bit,” said ‘Monk, quickly.
“T must go up on deck and tell the
boat to wait. If the quartermaster does
not see we are safe, he will no doubt
search the yacht. Jf I know my good
friend, Captain Holst, rightly, he must
have already given some such order.”
Monk went up on deck.
“Your friend, the detective, seems to
think he is a devil of a fellow, simce
he has got the better of me this time,”
grumbled ‘the Englishman, when we
were alone; “but we shall meet ‘again
some time, perhaps, when we are more
equally placed, and then I shall pay him
out.”
“Monk knows. well .enough how. 20

That failed, and so the bill- °
take care of himself,” I answered reluc-
tantly. I felt disgusted with the cold-
blooded scoundrel. ‘You ought rather
| to hope you will never see him again.”
| The subject of our conversation ap-
. peared again at this moment.
| “Now, Mr. Howell, where is the proof
you speak of? You will no doubt agree
that the sooner this interview comes to
an end, the better.”
The Englishman opened a cupboard,
rummaged awhile in a drawer, and came
back to the table with something which
looked like a folded letter in his hand.
} “Everything may be of use in time—
that is the reason I did not burn it.
Here is a letter from Evelina, written
the same day she hanged herself. It
will be more than sufficient for you.
But it’s understood that no difficulty will
be placed in my way to leave, if I give
up the letter?”
“You have our word of honor that no
information will be given to the police,
and that nothing shall hinder your de-
parture if you furnish us with the suffi-
cient proofs of my wife's innocence.”
| The Englishman threw the letter
across the table. Monk opened it and
read aloud:
Dear Mr. HoweLL,—You are the only
one who has shown any kindness to me
in my misfortune, but all your kindness
is wasted on a creature who is doomed
to destruction. You warned me, long
ago, against the wretch whom I be-
lieved in so blindly, but more than that
was necessary tc open my eyes.
He first persuaded me to steal in or-
- der to find the means for our mar-
riage, and then he deserted me with the’
fruits of my crime. All the same, I was
glad of your offer to get me acquitted,
and thus enable me to marry the man I
loved, not so much for my own sake, as
for—
Then he deceived me again. I know
that yesterday he left the country, and
at the same time I learnt that my bene-
factress, Miss: Frick, is accused of the
crime which I have committed.
I know, of course, you will not let
‘her suffer—you, who are her friend, and
that of her family.

do ‘not understand much of this
kind of thing; but T see that my life
is ‘useless, and that there is one way in
which I can prove Miss Frick’s inno-
cence without being imprisoned myself.

suspicion it was I ‘who took the" dia-
mond, and worries me every day to tell
her what has become of the money.

but irregular letters: y

could not sontrel myself any longer.
“You are the greatest scoundrel that
ever walked in shoes, Mr. Howell, or
Davis, or whatever you call yourself!”
I shouted, and rushed at him. I believe
I should have knocked him down, if
Monk had not quickly intervened.
It was hardly necessary, however, to
_ strike him, for at my words he staggered
back, as if stupefied, and leant against
the wall.
Monk was the first to speak.
‘You may thank my friend you have
been warned, Mr. Davis; otherwise it
had been my intention to let you find
out for yourself that your forgeries and
frauds have been discovered.”
; The Englis was deadly pale. He
opened a cupboard with trembling
hands, took out a bottle, and poured
himself out a large glass of cognac.
“Have you anything more to say to
him? If not, let us go; I can no longer
stand the sight of the scoundrel.”
« “All right,” answered Monk, and we
went quickly up the cabin stairs and into
the long-boat which awaited us.
“You weren't going to tell him, then,
that all his rascality had been discov-
ered?”
“No, I wanted him to fall into the
hands of the English police. But now
he'll take good care not to put his foot
on English soil any more.”
“You ought to have warned me be-
forehand.”
“It is not worth bothering about. For
the rest of his life he will be a wretched
exile, without money and without
friends; I know he has already ruined
his father, old Davis. He possesses
nothing now but his yacht. It was by
the skin of his teeth that he got away
from his creditors in England this time.”

summer air blew.in atgthe open door.
“Khe, hand of justice reached. him
sooner than we had expected,” said I,

“Peace, be with his bones!” said old
Frick, with unction. “Old Davis was a
big scoundrel; but, upon my soul, I

whole town will read it, of course. Then,

cated, Justice appeased, and I, as a just
and fitting reward for my efforts in the
cause of Right, will undoubtedly be

plan?”
Old Frick jumped up, and seizing my
hands within his own, shook them so
vigorously that they fairly ached before
he let them go again. “Just the thing !”’

to one side, laughed wickedly.
“I only hope he won’t find the im-

Catching Birds with a Line.
Birds are often caught with fishing
lines. Swallows and martins seize the
angler’s fly. Albatross are fished for
in the southern ocean from the stern

' when he saw that he had ‘hooked a

seized' the whiting many fathoms be-
low the surface. He managed to get
the bird, which weighed as much as
eight pounds, into the boat, and tried
to get it off the hook. It retaliated
by darting at his face with its bayo-
net-like beak, and split the skin of his
forehead from the eyebrows to "the
hair, after which it badly plerced his
hands before he killed it with a
stretcher. These divers have been
caught in nets set thirty fathoms
deep.

Returned with Thanks.
Onoe upon a time the late Guy Wet-
more Caryl sold a story to a publish
er of magazines. After several months
had gone by he received a proof of
the story and a note from the pub-
lisher. The latter was to the effect
that, although the story had been
bought, it was hardly what the maga-
zine wanted, and that he would be
greatly obliged to Mr. Caryl if that
gentleman would sell the story else
where and send him the check.
The publisher in question owns a
number of grocery stores, and Caryl
was somewhat of a wag. Therefors,
his opportunity for obtaining the re-
venge that he felt was due lay right
at his hand. Buying a large can of
tomatoes, he removed part of the con-
tents, sealed the can up again, and
mailed it to the offending publisher,

Express
The express companies handle more than three hundred million expres
packages in the United States annually, and during one recent year $4,000,000,
000 was dispatched to practically all corners of the earth by express and not
one cent went astray. More than $1,500,000,000 of this amount was handled
for the United States government.
The value of property owned by the express companies is $27,154,000 and
represents the assessed value of land and buildings, horses, wagons, trucks,
safes, chests, office furniture and other property.
In this valuation are ine
cluded 17,000 wagons, autos and sleighs and 20,000 head of horses and mules.
The number of horses and mules used in this industry exceeds the total
number of work animals in the United States cavalry or in the entire state
of Delaware.
Eleven important express companies operate in the United States. These
express companies, according to recent figures compiled by the interstate
commerce commission, operate over 301,064 miles of line.
Ninety-two per
cent of this mileage is over steam roads, 5 per cent over steamboat lines and’
the remaining mileage is operated over electric lines and stage-coach routes.

The income account of the companies in 1913 was around $168,880,000,
which included earnings from transportation, money orders, C. O. D. checks
and other sources, but approximately $83,872,000 of this amount was paid to
the railroads, steamship lines, etc. for express privileges.
The express com-
panies pay one-half of their total income to the railroads for express privi-
leges.
Revenue derived from the government by the railways for handling mail
duying the past ten years has increased 20 per cent, while that paid-by the
express companies has increased 105 per cent during this period.
The C. O. D. service, a simple and effective method of selling merchan-
dise without risk to the owner and shipper, has been and is an important
factor in extending trade relations between thousands of manufacturers,
merchants and individuals. Approximately five million C. O. D. shipments
are handled by express companies annually.
