And then realisation smote me. ‘ ' Plainly, she could not be De Veulle’s daughter—nor Captain Abbot’s. She was Murray's." J Murray’s daughter! I rebelled against the idea. It could not be. If ought not to be. What right had he to a daughter—and such a maid as this? “fwas absurd! Manifestly atv gurd! Why. I must hate the man. I had no "other recourse. And he had « daughter! And above all. this dangh- . ter! When I came on deck the next morn Ing we were driving down-channel before a smart northwest wind. Murray stood by the weather rail with the negro, who I learned afterward ■was called Tom. at his elbow. As 1 emerged from the companionway Tom leaned forward and whispered someth’ng to his master. Murray walked straight across the deck to my slde.NM* eyes fastened upon my face. “How. now.

"Well enough, sir." I answered sullenly. shifting clownishly from foot to font. “ Tls good '!" he exclaimed. “Faith I am vastly relieved.

De Veulle made me a slight bow. a look of Indifferent disdain on his face at sight of my-ple-beian figuse. The disguise was good, and I hoped I-might coxen him for a time at least. But no man forgets another who has toyed with his life, and his indifference was dissipated the Instant his eye met mine. 1 “Juggins?" he exclaimed In bewilderment. "Parbleu!
