Tlio story had already gone around the village that there wai a girl locked Up ftVjoard the yacht." "Yes, 1 have been tol that" said Bonnlger.

"The story was not generally be- Heved, but I suppose there was one man who went out to see for hlm- "No Absalom 's inan Is mlsslnt." Bonnlgef pointed cut "He furnished her the skiff. Bho then put him ashore and rowe away In It alone." "Impossible!" said Uonnlger. two sailors, liie steward, tht ellglneer all tell mo that she was a gentle and elegant girl, not at all the type who could have saved herself by rowing away In a heavy skiff. You can depond upo.i It, her man went with her. Everything points to the fact that It was somebody she knew end trui-tcd.

He must have followed the yacht here." NelU set his Jaw. If Bonnlgcr deduced so much already, ho and Janet were likely to receive short shrift next day. 'He was a cool customof," Bon- nlger went on. "According to the crew, ho took a rug out of the after cabin to keep thi girl warm, a flnshllRht out of the saloon and all the cooked food there waa In the refrlEerator." "Why couldn 't he have shot Kan- nlng?" snggeKted Nelll. Bonnlger looked at hini with ferim humor.

"I'm surprised at that." he said "from a man of your experience. Kvcrything shows that P'anning was shot unawares. If anybody had In the rtoor and attacked him. the cabin would have presented a very different picttire. Nelll was silenced.

"Wo will know him when wo catch him," said Bonnlger grimly. "WILson got an elegant set ef fingerprints on the nfrlgerati'r door. He photographed them this afternoon. He's developing It now." Nelll resisted the impulse to thrust his hands In his pockets. f.ngertlpa tingled unpleasantly.

Vacklng The Purchases When Honniger had returned to the telephone In Vlrgi' Ixing- cope's office, and Kettering to his camp, NtlU locked himself In his room upstairs and started to distribute the various articles he had bought for Janet about hli person. He had not purchased evirythlng In one place but had picked It up at odd times during the day In the different stores about the village. Women's clothes were out of the question, so he had got hor over- alLs, a fihirt, a pair of sneakers. These he had to buy In sizes suitable for himself, and he grinned, thinking how Janet would look In thorn. In addition he had biscuits, cakes of chocolate, a couple of cans of itieftt, a bottle ef towel and soap, candles and bat- terlcfl for the precious flashlight.

When all this wai he appeared to have Infireosed suddenly In weight. Howfever. he had satisfied himself that the back part of the hotel was deatjrted. He Went down the back and out by the kitchen Once he was in the toad, he felt safe from observation ft the Street lights were feeftte and far between. The crowd still hanging about Longcope's store and aftet he had turned the comer by the river, ho met nobody.

Aware that all his little time either of thert could speak. Both felt as If oceans had parted them. "Oh, Nelll! The day was so long!" How good It WBS to l.old hef close against him! Honey! Honey Honey! It was hard to te away from Having lighted a candle, Nelll held her away from hlin so that he could look at her. To find her 1ft these Stratige surroundings was like seeing her for the first time. In the empty ship, her fragile beauty had unreal like a dream.

He drew her to Mm with a Sudden fear of losing her. TMK nii.Jlai'KH, KANDt'SKt, OBTO.
