Price lay back in hla chair. "Yon i know the way tn the place where the ‘ uiuzoosalum —otherwise the forty millions —are waiting. I know the road *tnrts near liereA I’d picked the place from what the map said, and the boys tell me you came out right there. An' I think I know the rest of the way. But I flin t taking any chance*. 1 want to know Just what Pre got to go against, and .rou've got to tell me. If you do. and if I find out you've told me the truth. PH put you and the capt tain ashore. Seel If you refuse. I'll make you wish you hadn't. And if you . lie to me I'll—well. Pve got you and ' your friends In the hollow of toy hand. It’ll be easy enough to find that mother and sister of yours and—well, we'll find ’em. all right. So you better ' speak up and speak quick.” The girl** face was colorless and her breath came In gasps. “I won’t trust you.” she gasped. "You wouldn't keep y«>ur word.” “Yes! I will! I swear‘it!” Nellie’s lips tightened. “I don’t be- ‘ lleve you. I won’t trust you. If yon have robbed and murdered, you'll lie, too. I’ll tell you nothing.” Price sprang to bis feet. The mask ; dropped from his face. “You little cat!” he yelled. “I’ll—” He paused, holding himself in restraint by a mighty effort. “All right.” he went on. “I won't crowd you. We don't start till daylight, and I’ll give you till then to come to your senses. Sleep on It. I guess you’ll come around. I’ve got ways of persuading people—especially girls—who play ugly. However. sleep on It. Now, I’ll just lock you up in your mother's stateroom for rife night. If you'll come along—” Price got up and waved his hand toward the door. But the girl stood still. “Pm not going to leave this room.” she declared. “Pm going to stay with Captain Bunk- | er. I want to talk with him. and Pm I going to do It. If you're afraid to leave a wounded man and a girl alone to conspire, you can stay and watch us.“ Price shrugged his shoulder*. The I girl’s defiance seemed to amuse him. I “Oh. no! Pm not afraid,” he chuckled. ] “But there's no use In taking chances. Besides, a* I told you before, we don't ; want another fight with Captain Bunker. He’s no cripple with his fists, i Witness my eye.” Price pointed to his damaged optic. “If you want to May and consult with him yon may. but you’ll stay tied In your chair: I see? Take your choice.” The man i picked up a piece of rope that lay on j the floor and stood, waiting. Nellie hesitated. She hated being tied, of course, but she bated still more I being forced away from her only ! friend, helpless though the latter might be. “I’ll star.” site decided. “All right! Sit down.” Nellie sat down hesitatingly enough; and Price bound her firmly in her chair "Now we’re all right.” he said. “And 1 can tear myself away without feeling that you'll miss me. Pm treating you tx>th «s fair as I can. And Pm going to keep on treating you both as i fair- a* you’ll let me. But PH Just reI mind you that Pre got some mighty bad characters among ruy men. I'll ; protect you if I can. But if we lost that forty millions by any chance I’m afraid it would be tolerably rough on you. See!” Price walked to the door. “PH be back later.” he said, and closed and locked It behind him. Half an hour later he came back bearing a loaded tray.s “I guess you’ll be ready for some supper,” he began cheerily, as he crossed the threshold. “I don't want to starve you. and— With a curse the man broke off. The room was empty. Captain Bunker and Nellie bad disappeared. CHAPTER XIII The Robe of Mystery. The swift-falling tropic night came like a pall as the six adventurers descended the mountain, stumbling over rocks unseen In the darkness, tripping over vines, crashing against tree* that seemed to rise maliciously In the way. and shrinking from the back lash of branches pushed aside. Roundabout among the trees, great ghost blo«»om*. white blooms of night-loving plants, nodding in slender stems, filled the air with cloying perfumes. Above them fluttered myriads of night moth*. Over all, through the interstices of the trees, stretched the black’ sky across which unfamiliar constellations swung so splendidly that one could almpst hear them rumble as they moved. The adventurers were going back to the landing place because thev. haff nowhere else to go. At the landing they would at least find water and food, and there, perhaps, they would find a boat waiting to take, them back to the ship. Collins and Lord George might say what they would.tbe rest could not wholly believe that the apparently obedient and mild-mannered crew of the E3 Ria could suddenly have turned Into mutineer* and pirates. Some other explanation, they believed, would be found for all they had witnessed. Nevertheless, when they had descended the last foot of the perilouspathway and came out on the few square yards of sandy beach and saw bo beat, the hearts of the women tuned them, and the men seemed unable to find adequate word* of cheer. .■ : •

Had not Miss Denslow. mastering or putting behind her own fears, taken the situation resolutely in hand, the other women would have beconi? hysterical. Miss Denslow. however, took command. “When In dbubt, ent.” she said. “There are two ships lying out In the nay and one or the other of them will he sure to send In for us sooner or later. I don’t know what that destroyer was watching us for. and just now I don’t earc. If they really were watching, they'll know we have come ashore and they can hardly help but know that something’s gone wrong on the El Rio. Even If they nr? a lot of spies, they’re human beings. and I suppose they represent a civilised government, so they’ll come for us sooner or later. Menjnwhlle. It’s up to us women to make the men comfortable. Men are brutes when they are hungry. Therefore, let's feed the brutes.” Bess caught fir? at Miss Denslow’* langhing words. "Yes’ Come on.” she cried. “Let’s go back to the cave and light a fire, and be happy." Turning, she started back up the nscent, hurrying as fast as she could In the darkness. The others followed. Miss Denslow as usual assisting j»oor Mrs. Archman. who was nearly exhausted. The short climb was made without disaster other than a few rafls ou exposed shins. Harry pressed the but-

He was just exclaiming disgustedly over the absence of a fire, when Lord George and Collins stumbled up the path, each carrying several strips «f driftwood. A fire was quickly kindled, and by Its light, aided by Harry’* tortb, Bess Investigated the contents of the lunch baskets. A* the six already knew, the baskets contained chiefly canned good*. Bess, however, discovered a package of sandwich .w nnd a large thermos bottle containing coffee that was still hot. Lastly she found, far down to one of the baskets, a thin packet, scarcely larger than e letter, at which she gazed in wonder. Then she laughed. “Price certainly Is 7<»<’d to you men.” she said. “He’* put in cigars for you.” As she spoke, she tore open the wrappings. Then her tone changed. “It Isn’t clgnrs.” she cried. "It’s our map—or—or”— she unfolded the parchment—“lt s not our map; it’s another one and—and—good gracious! It’s the same as curs, only different.” "What du you mean*’ Lo-d George’s tones were sharp. “Let me see.” Unceremoniously he took the parchment from the girl’s fingers and scanned it. “You’re right." he declared. “It’s different ! This is the original. The <>ne you had first was an altered copy. The thief sent It to you so that you might lead him to the Island; and he altered ft so that he and he only might find the spot nn It that you both were seeking. It’s that scoundrel Price. And he and hfs friends ;>ave t*..en possession of tfie El Rio and have gon.- to the sj»ot.” “How do you know this is the original? It may be the copy!” objected Harry. “The other Is obviously wrong.

THE SYRACUSE JOURNAL,

We’Ve luuuu that out l«e enaneva are that this one is right.” “But —but why does the thief give It back to us now?” demanded Bess wonderingly. Miss Denslow answered. She had picked up the wrappings of the packet and had extracted from them a half sheet of paper. She bent forward to the firelight and glanced at the few lines that had been scrawied hurriedly across dt Then she started. "It’s—” AbruptF she broke off. “I'll read It,” she gasped. “I’m afraid trouble la brewing, but If it is. you’re well out of It ashore. I stole map from the first thief last night. I have never seen yours, but I suspect It Is different.” When she began Miss Denslow’a voice showed extreme agitation, but It grew steadier as she went on au-l*was nearly normal when she ended. While she read, uord George scanned her features as narrowly as he could by the firelight, as If suspecting some 8* cret reason for her excitement. The others either noticed nothing or asrrlltea what they did notice to the words of the n>essage. When she finished, the six looked at each other, stricken momentarily dumb. Each and 4 every one of them seemed to be groping mentally for some explanation of the truly amazing contretemps. Bess was the first to speak. •'Oh! Whar does it all mean?” she walled. “It means that somebody on board Is In league with the mutineers, nut is secretly friendly to us. Maybe It’s Price—” “No, It isn’t!” Miss Denslow Interrupted. “it isn’t Price. It’s some one very different. Price was the first thief and—” “How do yon know T' Lord George's eyes bored into Miss Denslow’* “I—i—j don’t know, after all.” The woman’s eyes dropped and her answer came falteringiy. “I—l’m just sure.” "You do know!” Lord George spoke fiercely. “You do know. You’re playing a double part and—” But Harry stepped forward. “Hold on!” be exclaimed, with a sudden access of dignity. “Stop right there. I won’t have it. You be civil to Miss Denslow or you’ll answer to me.” Lord George stared at th? boy In amazement. Before he could answer Bess struck in. “Oh! For goodness’ sake, don’t quarrel,” she begged. "We’re in a bad enough fix without that. Lord George didn’t mean anything. I'm sure.” She looked at the Engiishnmn appealingly. His wdship gulped. “I beg your pardon. Miss Denslow,” he said, with a resumption of his characteristic manner. “I Jolly well forgot myself. I fancy I’m a good deal excited. Whatr Miss Denslow nodded. "I don’t blame yon—under the circumstances.” she said. “But suppose we look at that map and see—” It was not necessary to finish In another instant Lord George had spread out the parchment and as many heads as could get near were bent over It. in geographic fe» tures the map seemed practically Identical with the one that had been sent to Mrs. Archman by mail ten days before. It differed from It, however, in having several black lines which the first one lacked, and In having only a single comparatively short red line-Instead of a long curved one. The red line started from the sea at the north end of the Island and followed an underlying black line almost straight up the peak. The black lines formed a rough and very open network over the island. The cieft wherein the six were camped was roughly shown on thevmap and was cut not far from the shore by a blnck line that paralleled the course of the cliffs. Miss Denslow put a finger on the Intersection. ‘That Mack line marks the break In the walls of the ravine.” she said sagely. “The one wd noticed as we were going up this noon. Pmbably a trail lends through IL All these black lines are probably trails. If we follow this one north it will bring us to the path marked by the red line —the line we should have followed In the first place. And If we start as soon as we have eaten something. we’ll get to our destination before those mutineers get there.” - Nobody spoke for a moment. Miss Denslow’* explanation seemed very reasonable and In fact convincing. But they felt reluctant to leave the spot where they were encamped. Desolate a* It wuj.

Community Building

Front Yard Conaidered Part of Public Street The planting to the front yard of a city or suburban home occupying * rectangular lot of ordinary size I* as much part of the public street as is the parkway. It should be developed with this in mind. While fault has been found with the Americans’ method of discarding walls and fences and setting their homes where all may see, no defense is needed other than the example of the beautiful results which this practice has achieved in our garden sub-' ttrbs. But these results depend upon the extent to which the planting in front yards is in keeping with the nature of our front yards. The planting should harmonize with that in adjoining grounds. It should enhance the merits and screen the faults of the house architecture. And it should express the occupants of the home as their clothes should express them. The public aspect of the home grounds should not be out of keeping with the character ’ of its occupants. A woman who would not wear an evening gown uncovered on a street car should not make her front yard a flower garden. The objection to conspicuous flowering shrubs in the front yard is based on the same feeling that discourages conspicuous public attirfe. Another ground for such objections is the fact that front yards are on view the year round, while flowering shrubs are brief in session; so that foliage effects are more important because more lasting. Scientific Proof That Paint Is Life Saver Paint saves life, says Dr. Max C. Starkloff, health commissioner of St. Louis, as quoted to Health. The connection between paint and health would seem to be remote, yet Doctor Starkloff shows that they have a’very close relation. “In a lying-in hospital.” says Doctor Starkloff. “at a given period there were over a hundred -cases of puerperal fever with a high death rate. In an effort to clean up the hospital and make It sanitary to the last degree, the entire place was painted, including floors, ceilings and Inside walls. After the painting, cases of puerperal fever almost entirely disappeared. The New York health department is using paint rather than fumigation for sterilizing rooms which contagious disease patients have occupied. J “As further proof of .the value of paint as a disinfectant, Mr. Henry A. Gardner of the Institute of industrial research at Washington painted a wall surface and tbeh sprayed it with liquid cultures of different germs. A glmilar area, unpainted, was also saturated with germ cultures. Microscopic study showed that the unpainted area gave abundant growth of germs while the painted area showed that the germs had developed very little.” Striving for Ideal Home The ideal home as pictured Is not Impossible to have. It really should be the kind of home found in every community and on every farm. The ideal certainly is worth striving for, and It may ultimately be attained. Only by aiming for high Ideals can we make progress toward better things, and this is true especially In home-making and community building. —Anniston Star. Look to Old Age “Parents who save In order to own their home are able to look forward with confidence to a happy old age. whereas the great majority who do i not save become dependent on some- j one else as they grow older. It is by the familiar experiences of family life that thrift, honesty, straightforwardness and self-discipline are best instilled. Make War on the Rat In every way the rat is a nuisance and a threat to health and property. Na town or community is free from their damaging activity. No home, unless It Is a very new one. Is free of them. They serve no useful purpose and always are doing damage. A wholesale elimination of the whole rat population would prove a blessing.— j Anniston (Ala.) Star. Economy — Every dollar spent for paint save* gfi or $lO or SIOO what would otherwise be spent on repairs or lost through depreciation. When properly protected by paint, a frame dwelling will last for generations and the maintenance cost will be greatly reduced < in so far as renewal and repairs ar* concerned. Satisfactory Statistics Tn one year there were 1(M village* that were given mail-carrier service and 164 small towns that got city ‘ service, according to the report of the postmaster general at Washington.
