It was such a perfect night that the seuorira. »rrn!ied down to rhe beach with me before retiring, and I have a hazy reco ieerion of kissing her. Something of rhe sort, anyway, for she left her coo Seger? >n mine for half a m r.n*e before she d -appeared This anti he.- personal loveliness In the mcon'.ia'l’.'. came near to interfer'Rg with m;. progress, for -.pen reaching my room I took an easy ’-hair out r.pcn rhe balcony and smoked 'or over an hour, thinking of her. The windows of he> room were diagena y opposite my own. aero? the patio: and I fancied once or twice that I could detect her tigwre among the shadows. After awhile, however, it itr,- L me 'har if I were reabv going to do anything it wan about rime to get at it. So I opened rhe eea chest and t<< k out It# electric safety lantern, then silently made.my wav ale.r.g rhe corridors and down to the room where rhe padres w ere snoring. I have been told by doctors that fat men usually sleep more sonndly than their skinny brethren, and my experience that night seemed toc'ineh theassertion: for. though I had to feel over several square feet of Bartolomeo’s anatomy in. my search for his bur.eh of key*, he never even v iggleri. J- would r ave been possible, of course, to force the Ic<ks; bnt that was too risky an f pe-ation when simpler methods were available. Stepping acro« ’’ e little square, the air was so still that I eoulu hear the lapping of the rippies on the beach-, a quarter of a mile away : and I seemed To be the only living creature awake. 1 had no difficulty in finding the key whleh opened the po-tem door at the rear of the church, and easily stole ihroi the cloisters as far as the pastage leading into the chamber of horror?. This was so pitchy dark that I Tented on the current in my lamp and was startled at the brilliancy of the light which shot from its lens. When it fell upon the ghastly figure with the diseased wish-bone, a cold chill started the goose-flesh all over me; the contrast between the sencrita’s warm, breithing loveliness, of which I had been dreaming, and thia semblance of rotting carrion, was something horrible. I had to take a good pul! at my flask before I could unlock the iron trap and descend into the vaults. There, also, the fc 1 dampness, and the company of real bod ies, made my scalp

creep until it- felt, as though each in- i dividual hair squirming. When Bartolomeo introduced me to the remains of Fray Ignacio, that moramg. I r> t m- re or less of a friendly interest in the old chap; we hadn’t been near enough r o appreciate the gkastli- j ness of the grinning skulk half hidden bv its gray cowl. But now. when I i placed, my light between his toes and ■ attempted jrenfly to ! rise his stomach 1 of that heavy box. rhe bony lingers | clung to it with gruesome strength; ' •„e <; bones cracked and wheezed as I tna jed at it. How I managed to keep . from fainting outright, I never knew. 1 W efforts to remove the chest from the , g d fedow’s lap seemed to threaten a ».disarrangement, of his skeleton so seri- | ons ! rha’ I gave up the attempt and unlocked it where it lay. To this he made j no objections; he even appeared to take a mild interest, in the proceedings, wag- I ging and wahbling ilia old skull, with horrid whisperings and creakings, every ime I leaned against him. The papers in the box were covered ; with a thick layer of dust, and. after , another pull at the flask—in which the i frav, bv a sorrowful wag of the cow . i refused to join me —I gently lifted the { top cues with a pair of pocket plyers . so as to show the least, possible* dis- ! turbance. Rea zing that every moment) was precious, I hastily scanned | the . ..er documents unt.l uue bearing r-b 54 f <■ ' *T —=' Wv nerves were worn co a thin edge. the fray's -gnature appeared, which prove': -o be the shipwrecked ctficer’s statement. I wanted to read every ' wore: but it was ,n old Spanish, the i a — hment. was so brittle that it rat- : tied like fire crackers. and there was ■ really bur one sentence that I needed. . so. glaMing rapidly fr-,m line to line, ; I finally came upon one which, trans- ' ared, read,: -Psei’icu of ledge, ap- ' proximate 12 degrees 30 minutes. 30 j seeocce N lar„ 144 degrees, 23 minutes io seconds E. lon."’ This I hastily penciled upon the wristband of my shirt; ■ ;en. con.' .de • ,-g •ie advisability of destroying the document. 1 had decided | that i" - absence might be discovered at i any time, and was about to replace it. I when I thought of Sebastinno. I I ion n t afford to leave accurate in form- ■ atien for him to find. In a second, ortwo an icea cccnrred to me. ami. striking a march. I hrd itoveethe parchment in j such away that it charred the figures completely out. yet locked as though a I cinder had fa -n. a< ■■ dentally upon the I page. It was. of course, likely that | rhe padre would have his suspicions if | he ever saw it; but if I succeeded in i getting safely of the church. I thought. lie' . have a sweet rime verify- I Ing them. To replace all of rhe documents was I a work of s ome moments, so careful I was I not to disturb the coatings of j dust with which they were covered. Then I locked the box, while the fray sadly wabbled his head at my temer- j iry, and started to return. Jhe floor | of the vaults was of pounded clay, and each step I took produced a vibra- , tian. which tilled the air with echoes i sorter ereeyi ag footstep',. My nerves were worn to a thin edge by this time, i’.l . • nc. • een 'or ’he brandy I probably should have lost conscious- ■ ness. Yer. standing ’here in that foul, j ibrerranean passage, in an island practically aokaewn to the world and thousands of miles from civilization, I I couldn't help grinning to myself—a chattering, nerve is grin it was. ton — at the incongruity of a prosaic commercial man who ha : worried through 35 years of humdrum existence, beisg in such a position. What, an hnmirigated liar my acquaintances in the club at Honz-Korg won'd- think me if I merely detailed the bare facts' Ascending to the imasre chamber, my hand trembled so that I couldn’t I hold the light steady; and this erratic illumination gave the figures a ghastly appearance of life. I was I hastily crossing toward rhe narrow entrance which led to the cloisters, c hen the murmur of a voice in the chaneel on the other side of the wall made me shut off the current in my lamp and gasp for breath. In an instant I was in darkness so thick I could feel it, though a very faint reflection from rhe waning moon made a sort of grayness up where the windows were; but, looking toward the chancel wall, I noticed a faint luminousness in one particular spot, and it was from this quarter that the voice seemed to come. It took but a moment to figure out that this spot must be approximately in the rear of the crucifix head over the altar. There was a pile of boxes just trader it, on my side, so I cautiously climbed to where I could look through. Then my nervousness left me. For on his knees before the altar was lay brother Felipe, patteringout prayers for the repose of the good dead fathers below. It afterward came out that he bad been asleep in his cell, and, awaking suddenly, had heard footsteps and echoes in the catacomb which fairly curdled his blood; so, by the light o£ the only candle he could find, he was doing his best to lay the restle=s spirits.

How recklessness get the upper hand of me would be hard to say. but, without giving the danger a second I thought. I lifted my lan’ern to the ' aperture and turned on the current. I would have given a large sum to have i seen rhe effect from the church sice, I it must have been more than start .ng I I could tell the exact instant when the I lay brother raised his eyes ' top ' of the crucifix by the way his murI muring stopped short. There was a gasp of astonishment too great for louder articulatian. a shiver •* ic fear; am! when I squint'": ' .ire i I the hole, sifter shuttuig '.ft the ."tr- | rent, he was groveling, face down, upon the chancel floor. This was my opportunity. Calculating that he wouldn’t care ra.se his I eves for several moments, no ma ter ■ what strange noises echoed throug.-i i rhe church. I slipped around through I the postern ami succeeded in rest-.,-in|T to Padra Bartolome’ s ■* -- j torso his bunch of keys without being I seen. Once back in my room. I locked | the door and put a ehair against it; : for I was considerably shaken ip. and | looked as though I bad spent a week in the interna, regions. Breakfast was fortunate'y ate. so i I bad rime tc bathe am! make myself a little more presentable, but I must i have looked seedy even then. Th s. i however, was natura y aid to rhe dinner party of 'he previous eve ng none of the gen' -men fe- inc very ' positive a.s to when or ;ust how he bad parted from the others. I rhoucht that when the padres got thorough, waked up and had time to get the lay brother’s experience tltrough ’heir ' heads there was likely to be more at a sensation than rhe little town had i known in many moons; so. compla.ning of a severe headache. I tn'-':’ colonel ami his daughter to sail with j me in the new prna. Having to hear a f**Tv cases at the tr’buua. that mum- : ing. he politely declined, out assured ’ me that Dorotea would be pleased to go. This was better than I had bargained I for. Knowing the strict dear n regard to chapernnage wii oh reg’i.it e Spanish society, it never occurred to me that such a tete-a-tete would be i permitted: bat I found that Guajan. : like a steamer at sea. was more or less outside of social restrictions, a law | unto itself. The senorita seemed to hare perfect ' ermfidenee in my> seamanship and was I eviden’'y glad of such an appnrr iniry ; to ask questions. As we skimmed along the blue water I satisfied her I curiosity regarding American women ' and gave radical opinions on men f various natfion i ties —e ne imong which was a caution against >eiiev ng I what any man said to her mie's he I knew him very we . because -he- ver.not all truthful ami honorable like nvself.

This wasn't -xpr“<«ed n so many words, but she confessed to the knowledge that I had >ft •-,e | house on sosne advenriire during rhe i night, and to an impression that I wanted the padre nut of rhe way I rhnugh her surmising went no furrher than That. We had taken a lunch with us. so it was well toward even ng when we re'nmed. to find the ’own n a eommoInn iver he strange and - - -e miracle which had been- wit eased v ay-brother Pelipe. Tve often thought ’hat I was an unneent means of g vng ’he Holy Roman churon- a terneroot n the Ladrones riian It ever had I before. Even Padre Bartolomeo, who vns ’on wily a bird, and too we erfni rated; tw be fooled by an ordinary •wery-day mimcle. was a gryjit tea i shaken up by ’he lay brother’s yarn. His superior learning itid :.'r~ -rwr , axlry in his principles, an mpress nn 'hat. he could drink and gamble w th impunity; but after a thorough examination of the chancel, together with unavailing cro«s questioning of hia entranced associate, he ber-an o wonder if there were not more things in Heaven ami earth than.were dreamt of in his ph osophy. However, as the offerings which began to pour in exceeded anything in his recolleerion, he i kept his head, and continued to look upon himself as a b'.esced, though h’rmb.e. medium. CHAPTEB X. By Thursday morning I was ready to | start for the reef, but thought it best to wait a couple of days longer, in or- ■ der to ar ild rousing suspicion by an all-day absence alone. Nearly all of my new acquaintances had sailed with me, at odd times, and my reputation as an enthusiastic \ yachtsman was pretty well established. So. early Saturday morning, I had Pepe wheel my chest’down to the beach, telling him that I was taking my tarpaulins and lunch, with the intention of sailing off and on aronnd i the island. I aiso said that I would *. I

The fact seemed so wonderful that for some time I san there letting it soak in where my mind could grasp it. Aeeording to Halstead’s figures, my my position was then about twelve thirty-three, north by one-forty-four, twenty-two. east. The figures in Fray Ignacio's document had been 12 degrees .0 minutes 30 seconds north by 144 degrees 23 minutes no seconds east. So the approximate position of ’he wreck was one mile farther east, and two and a half miles to the s’uth’ard. from where I was. From the crag of my lead on bottom, Icaiculated the headway to be about- six miles au hour, am: steered due south for twenty minutes; then I headed east until it seemed as though the proa bad gone an even mile, and was just about to stow away the sail, wh*n the lead-line flashed over the side like lightning, as if a shark were making off with" it.
