The hammer of the revolver began to rise under the pressure of Elsie's

finger on the trigger. The man's hair rose even more rapidly. Ills nerve

was broken. He turned along the cor

rido in front of her, not knowing the instant a bullet might crash into his head. The girl followed so closely

that she almost touched his heels. The dog would have trotted in front, but she recalled him. When Suarez reached the port rail of the promenade deck Elsie breathed: "Climb quickly and go down into the canoe by the rope ladder you will find there." "The canoe!" gasped he. "Quick! One, two" Up went Snarez over the rail. Ho found the topmost rungs of the ladder. As he descended the revolver followed his eyes. When his head was level with the deck the order came: "Take the dog and go down!"

"I cannot, senorita." "You must try. -You are going down, dead or alive." He did try. Joey scuffled a little, but Suarez caught him by the neck and made shift to descend. Elsie was already on the swaying ladder wheu Boyle's voice rang out sharply from the spar deck: "Below there! Who is there?"

"I, Mr. Boyle!" she nnswered. "You, Miss Elsie? Where are. you?" "nere not so far away!" She was descendi&g all the time. She had cast loose the ropo which fastened the canoe alongside, and her difficulty was to hold the ladder and at the same time by cHnging to the mast to prevent tb.f canoe from slipglng away with the tide. The revolver she gripped between her teeth by the butt. Boyle, puzzled by the sound of her voice, ran from the side of the bridge' down the stairs and across the deck. He was a second too late to grasp the top of the mast as it drifted out of reach, ne heard Elsie utter a low voiced command in Spanish, and the dip of a paddle told him that the canoe was in motion. "For the Lord's sake, what are you doing?" he roared. "I am going to save Captain Courtenay," was the answer. "You cannot stop me now. Please hoist plenty of lights. If I succeed, look out for me before daybreak. If I fall, goodby!"

CHAPTER XVIII. OYLE was very angry. It was a situation which demanded earnest words, and they were forthcoming. Elsie understood

in such a purple hurry to disappear into the darkness without the least explanation. Thereupon she bade Suarez back the canoe a little. "I am sorry it Is necessary to steal away in this fashion," she said, and the coolness of her tone was highly exasperating to a man who could no more detain her than he could move the Kansas unaided. "I have a plan which requires only a bit of good fortune to render It practicable. I have two assistants Suarez, whose aid I am compelling, and Joey, who is quite eager. There is no use in risking any more lives. If I do not return you may be sure the worst has happened." "But what is your plan?" roared Boyle. "It may be just sheer nonsense. Tell me what it is, an I swear by the nautical almanac I shall not prevent you from carryln' it out if it has any reason behind it." "I am going to collect all the Indian canoes," was the amazing answer. "I know it can be done from what Suarez has said. Once we have the canoes in midchannel we can set most of them adrift and bring Captain Courtenay and the others back to the ship in four

or five, which we will tow to Guanaco hill. And now goodby again!" "One moment, Miss Maxwell," broke in Gray's quiet voice from the upper deck. "You can't engineer that scheme with a one man crew and he sick and unwilling. I am going with you. You must take me aboard, wet or dry." "I am well armed and shall admit of no interference," she cried. "I promise to obey orders." "If I wanted you, Mr. Gray, I should

have sought your help." "It is one thing or the other, a wriggle down a rope or a high diving act." "You have no right to impose such an alternative on me." "I hate it myself, and I can't dive worth a cent. You will hear a beastly flop when I strike the damp." "Mr. Boyle, I call on you to hold him." Boyle explained luridly that the American was doing a balancing act on the rail eight feet above his head. Elsie, taking her eyes off Suarez for an Instant, discerned Gray's figure silhouetted against the sky. She yielded. "There is a rope ladder fastened to the lowest rail near where the canoe was moored," she said. "Is thef e to be any catch-as-catch-can business, Boyle?" demanded Gray. "No. All this is mighty unfair to me." "You have my sympathy, friend, but

you can't leave the ship. Now, Miss Maxwell, come alongside. Boyle Is going to be good. He doesn't mean half he says anyhow." As the canoe slipped out of the dense gloom of the ship's shadow the Argentine squatted on his knees in the bows. Gray placed himself amidships, and Elsie sat aft, holding the revolver in her right hand and the dog's collar in her left. The American groped for and

found a paddle, which he piled vigorously. "Guess you'd better discourse," said he over his shoulder when the light craft was well clear of the ship. "You understand Spanish, I think?" "Yes." "Please tell Suarez to cease pad dling and listen. Don't move. I car trust you, but I may have to shooi i him." "Best hand me that popgun, Miss Maxwell. The gentleman In front seems to have a wholesome respect for you already. Anything you say goes where he is concerned. I am taking your word for it his name is Suarez, but he looks and smells more like an Indian." "I forced him to dress in his discarded clothes. He may be able now to 6care any of the savages we come across. , But why should I give you my weapon, Mr. Gray?" "Because I can hit most things I aim at, whereas jou are more likely to bore a hole through me as a preliminary. Moreover, you have the dog with you, and even the wisest dog may bark at the wrong moment You must

have both hands at liberty to choke hi enthusiasm." "Do you pledge your word to go o?i with my scheme?" "That is what I am here for." "Take the revolver, then." "Sure It's loaded?" "Quite sure. I have fifteen extra cartridges; but as I have practiced refilling It in the dark, giv It to me 1 you have occasion to empty ft" "You seem to have thought this thing out pretty fully." t "I intend to succeed. Now, please, 1 must explain what I want Suarez to do." Speaking in Spanish, slow and clear, while the canoe drifted steadily up the bay with the rising tide, Elsie unfolded her project. .Behind the guardian cliff of Otter creek a rld of rocks created a small natural harbor. It was the custom of the Alaculofs when the weather was calm and they meant to use their craft at dayDreak to anchor most of their vessels la this sheltered breakwater. At other times the canoes were drawn ashore, but she reasoned that such a precaution would not be taken during the present excitement. That was the first part of her programmeto capture the entire fleet including the lifeboat. In any event she intended to go next to the hidden cleft at the foot of Guanaco hill, trusting to the dog's sagacity to reveal the retreat where she believed tfrat her lover and many of his men were hidden. If a squad of Indians mounted guard there, the reappearance of Suarez in his war paint backed by tbe alarm of a night attack from the seA, might mystify the enemy sufficiently to permit of a landing, while the frequent reporta of the revolver would certainly lead to a counter demonstration by Courtenay.
