He crawled to Inez. "Up ? "Up,'* he cried, tugging at her, "wo have no time to loae. Couie on, you beast?come on." Helping them both, tee ring at them frantically, llko mad, he ?ped with them toward a cluster of tree# on the other Bide of the rood. . In the mldHt of thin (lontte growth ho had ti bin machine. ranting with frenzy, hla glance ever ovor hla shoulder, he forced them into the sprang to the wii.- 1, throw in the clutch, and was off. It wiih three day# later, 011 the high aoae, that Hernandez -his other two companion? well hidden In the hold ? atolo out of the cciinpanlon way of a fruit steamer bound for the southern BeaH. Ho glanced cautiously around a cor hm 'J'ho fli'Bt flguro that met hi# sljfht wa? Neal IJardln ? an en?i?n In the navy. "What's lie doing here?'' domanded HtfOftildei of hir/uvclf. Ho watched warily. What ho saw disturbed him. Noat was giving order# to tho cap- , tain of the Hernandez looked about him. Bud donly ho darted forward, stooped, and picked up something from the lloor "What la it?" queried Inez. "A pldce of Hteol," ho said. That night,, WoU muflled, he stole toward tho compass, ajid concoaled his pieeO of steel where It would do tho most f;ood ? or moat harm, as you pro fer. No one saw 'him ? no one knew. But on hla roturn, turning a cornor, ho ran full tilt into Ensign Neal Har din himself. Neal Sprang upon tho muffled flguro and tore tho enveloping cloak from Hernando?/ grasp. "You," cried Noal, leaping for Her- j nandez, "I've got you now." They struggled like tiger#, but Neal took no chances. This was 110. tost bout. ITo wanted to make sure of his man. llo called for help. Holp came. A d^zen men pounced upon Hernan do?':. When ho was safoly chained Neal rose to his feet. "We'vo got hlra," said Neal briefly. Ho gavo an order. "Boarch the ship," he Hald. Tho ship was searched, and with in tho next quarter of an hour Inez and tho Hrute,' each in the clutch of many powerful men, camo Into view on dock, "Lock tho woman In a cabin," com manded N utl. "and keep guard upon her day ainl night." All night ho lay, chained heavily, solitary, in the lazaretto, working out Els'. own nal vatlon? not eternal* but material. And he always camo to one conclusion? -"I'll boat them yet." All night tho pilot puzzled hla 'head over his compass. Ah da\yn broke, in tho crow's neat aloft, the lookout shaded his eyes with hiH hand? then with tho same hand shaded liirt mouth. "Lund ho!" ho cried, "land ho!" Neal heard him and hurrlod to the j>ilot 'h Bide. - "Can't ho Lost Isle," he exclaimed. "Muni be," said tho pilot, "we're bonded straight for hor ? straight as tho crow {lies, sir. But I can't under stand it, either ? blest if I ? " The sentence was unfinished. With a terri lie- shock tho vessel crashed into an unseen roof? an unknown roof, for thoy had ventured into uncharted soas Neal understood tho danger. The shock was too terrific to, be ignored, it meant a wreck ? it would be a mat tor of minutes only before she lllled. "Man tho boats," ho cried, "order all on deck. Make haste." Ho rushed in person to Annette's door and threw it open. In person he lifted Annette and her mother into tho tlrst boat. Inez also was included. It was lowered safely. Neal turned to his crew. "Clot the lazaretto prisoner," ho commanded, "drag him into this boat bore. He about it now." Hernandez, in a frenzy of fear, had been beating with his chains upon the barred door of the lazaretto. They dragged him forth, his face working with fear and rage; and bundled hi in into the second boat-*? tho IJruto leap ing tn behind. ITa'f way down the sub! something happened? tho gear broke. The boat dropped ? its one end still held to the tackle ? and - plunged its human burden into t lie sea beneath. Hernandez, heavy with bis irons, clung to the Hruto. Tho Brute was still a paragon of strength. With both Hernandez' hands upon his brawny shoulders ? with the dragging weight of Ilernandoz' irons upon him. he swam, with even, steady strokes, toward the shore ? swam for an hour, tirelessly, like some huge dog. 1 I Suddenly h'a feet touched sand. . . Neal and Annette stood upon a strip ; of beach, staring all about them. ?' "This," said Annette, "must bo Ixist Isle ? and tho admiral was right it is deserted. Unless we find a Robinson Crusoe hero ? possibly ? my father." j Noal shook his head. "I'm not sure It's Lost Isle," ho commented, "and I'm not sure it's deserted. Seo that turn in tho short lino ? let's round the corner and have a better look." Around tho corner, somo three-quar ters of a mllo away, a group of naked natives clustered grcodily about a fire. Above tho fire something ? horribly , gruesome ? turned and turned upon a j slowly-revolving spit. Scattered about upon tho ground, were human skulls. . . . Ono of tho natives held up his arms, uttering guttural sounds and pointed off the shore.
