I turned partially aside, glancing toward the wheelman. The fellow was leaning forward over the spokes, evidently deeply Interested In our contro versy and endeavoring to bear all we had to say.

Do I make it clear-to1 yon that 1 am in a position scarcely less perilous than your own?" With lips parted and hands clenched over her heaving breast, she stood silent, apparently, deeply aroused oy my earnest appeal, yet totally unable -to repose full confidence in me.

Yet her very hesitancy was to me: ah encouragement. "You certainly have every reason to doubt me at present, I urged, with increased confidence, -yet I mean to prove myself worthy your trust by deeds rather' than words. Will you consent to do as 1 wish, at least for the moment?"

"Anon ze whol" ship zere was no one else to help us." "As you say, Celeste, there Is no choice;" and Lady Darlington's grsy eyes again sought mine reluctantly. "I sincerely desire to repose complete confidence in you; to believe you worthy. What is it you wish us to do?" "Merely to remain where you are, beyond the observation of others, until I can ascertain the exact truth of our situation. So soon as learn-this, I shall return with the information.

I sank down Into the depths of an upholstered divan without, rested my head within my hands, and endeavored earnestly to collect thought, and nerve for the coming, struggle. The terrible-ness of our situation only became more apparent as I considered it in the light of the discoveries already made, and in my understanding of the nature of those with whom 1 was now associated. Neither Tuttle nor De Nova had ever mistaken the Sea Queen for the warship Esmeralda.

It was impossible to conceive that theae two trained seamen could have made such an error, or that the men undor them could have been so utterly deceived. Turtle's boat came up directly beneath the bows, with the riding lamps burning brightly and revealing the name: every man aboard must have seen it plainly. Yet what object could have led to so desperate an of piracy? What part was I des tined to play in the final working out if their lawless scheme? The longer I studied over the problem the more thoroughly did I become mystified and confused. What could these men ever hope to accomplish In this lawless fashion? They must be fools or madmen. This wns not the age of piracy; every league of sea was patrolled; every port protected by telegraphic communication.

Where coold they sail Where could they expect to land? Where on ail the round globe could they hope to go to escape the vengeance of British" power on the high seas?

The very audacity of the attempt brought comparatively easy success. The main cabin had-been secured by my orders when we first arrived aboard, and I came below just now, after all danger seemed, far to learn if. any officers were hidden away here.

eyes remained unbelieving. "How many men accompanied you?" "A crew of 20. with two officers." "I-eruviaus, I presume?" "No, madam," reluctantly, "hotchpotch dragged from the seven seas." Her expressive face darkened, her fingers clenching again nervously about the chairback. "And really, expect. me to be- lieve that preposterous tale!" she burst forth, indignation shattering all ordinary bounds "of speech.

"You must, indeed, think very highly of my intelligence. You why, you are a I sea-robber, a pirate!" My cheeks flushed at the harsh words. I could feel the surge of blood, yet I met her gaze quietly. "1 have told you the exact truth. Lady Darlington, as 1 promised," i returned, seeking to speak calmly, "without any real hope that you would believe.

Yet I want you to try. It is all bad enough as it stands, without endeavoring to make it appear worse." She leaned slightly forward, clearly-impressed to some extent by the gravi- i ty of my manner. "Tiien prove it." "How?"
