The bark swung uhtil her bows were straightened to the ebb tide and with a wild, triumphant yell Mr. Gibney clasped the honest McGuffey to his perspiring bosom. The deed was done! It wa^ dark, however, before they had nil the sails snugged up shipshape, although In the meantime the quaran tine launch had hove alongside, in- veatigated, and removed those of the crew who still lived. Shortly there after the coroner came and removed the dead, after which Gibney and Mc Guffey hosed down the deck, located some hard tack and toffee, supped and turned in In the officers' quarters. In the morning, Scab Johnny arrived in a launch with their other clothes (Mr. Gibney having thoughtfully sent him ten dollars on' account of their old board bill, together with a request for the clothes), and when the agents of the Chesapeake sent a watchman to relieve them they went ashore and had breakfast. After breakfast, they called at the office of the agents, where they were complimented on their daring seamanship and received a check for one thousand dollars each. “Well, now,” McGuffey declared, af ter they had cashed their checks, •‘See- In' as how I’ve become Independent ly wealthy by following your lead, Adalbert, all I got to say Is that I'm a-goln’ to stick to you like a limpet to a rock.

A word, a gesture, from Mr. REAL MONEY. Synopsis. — Captain Phlne&s P. Scraggs has grown up around the docks of San Francisco, and from mess boy on a river steamer, risen to the ownership of the steamer Maggie. Since each annual In spection promised to be the last of the old weatherbeaten vessel. Scraggs naturally has some diffi culty In securing a crew. When the story opens, Adelbert P. Qib- ney, likable, but erratic, a man whom nobody but Scraggs would hire, ts the skipper, Nells Halvor- sen. a solemn Swede, constitutes the forecastle hands, and Bart Mc Guffey, a wastrel of the Qlbitey type, reigns in the engine room. With this motley crew and his an cient vessel. Captain Scraggs Is engaged in freighting garden truck from Halfmoon bay to San Francisco. The inevitable happens; the Maggie goes ashore InPa fog. A passing vessel hai .ug'the wreck,- Mr. Gibney gets word to a towing company in San Francisco that the ship ashore Is the Yankee Prince, With promise of a rich salvage. Two tugs succeed in pulling the Maggie Into deep water, and she slips her tow tinea and gets away in the fog. Furious at the decep tion practiced on them. Captains Hicks and Ftahsrty. commanding the two. tugboats, ascertain the identity, of the “Yankee Prince” and, fearing ridicule should the facta become known along the wa ter front, determine on personal vengeance. Their hoettle visit to the Maggie results In Captain Scraggs promising to get a new boiler and make needed repairs to the steamer. Scraggs refuses to fulfill his promises and Gibney and McGuffey "strike.” With marvel ous luck. Scraggs ships a fresh crew. At the end of a few days of wild conviviality Gibney and McGuffey are stranded and seek their old poeltlona on the Maggie. They are koatllely received, but re main. On their way to San Fran cisco they sight a derelict and Olb- ney and McGuffey swim to It The derelict proves to be the Chesa peake. richly laden. Its entire crew stricken with scurvy. Scraggs at tempts to tow her In, but tbe Mag gie Is unequal to the task and Ulb- ney and McGuffey, alone, under take to sail the ship to Saa Fran- dare CHAPTER VI.—Cantlnuod. The ship lay In the wind, shivering Mr. Gibney was her*, there, every where. One minute he was dashing along the deck with a leading line, the next he was laying out aloft. He or dered himself to do a thing and then, with the pent-up energy of a thousand devils, be did It. Tbe years of degra dation as navigating officer of the Mag gle fell away from him, as he sprang agile and half-naked. Into the shrouds; != “If you can forgive him. I can, Gib." “Well, he’s certainly cleaned him self handsome, Bart. Telephone for a messenger boy,” and Mr. Gibney sat down and wrote: “Scraggsy, old fanciful, we’re square. Forget it and come to breakfast with us at seven tomorrow at the Marigold cafe. Til order deviled lam kidneys for three. It’s alright with Bart also,- “Yours, “Gib.” This note, delivered to Captain Scraggs by the messenger boy, lifted the gloom from the latter’s miserable soul and sent him home with a light heart to Mrs. Scraggs. At tbe Mari gold cafe next morning he was almost touched to observe that both Gibney and McGuffey showed up arrayed in dungaree*, wherefore Scraggs knew his late enemies purposed proceeding to the Maggie immediately after breakfast and working in the engine room all day Sunday. Such action, when he knew both gentlemen to be the pos sessors of wealjh far beyond the dreams of avarice, bordered so close ly on the miraculous that Scraggs made s mental resolve tu play fair in the future—at least as fair as the limits of his cross-grained nature would per mit. He was so cheerful and happy that McGuffey, taking advantage of the situation, argued him Into some minor repairs to the engine. About nine o'clock, as Mr. Gibney was on his way to the Marigold Cafe for bieakfast. he was mildly Inter ested, while passing the Embarradero waretuuse. to note the presence of fully a doaen aeedy-looklng gentlemen of undoubted Hebraic antecedents, congregated In a circle Just outalde the warehouse door. There was an air of suppressed excitement about this group of Jews that aroused Mr. Oih- ney’s curiosity; so h# decided to eross over and inveatlgata. being of tbe opin ion that poaaibly one of their number had fallen In a fit. Ha had once had an epileptic ahlpmate and waa pecu liarly export In the handling of such cases. Now, If the greater portion of Mr. Glhney'a eventful career had not been spent at sea. he would have known, by the red flag that floated over the door. Ann *r* rn^y worm ■ wnocp miior you get them?” “Twenty-five cents up," was the an-, swer. "You go It blind at an old horse saJe, as a rule. Perhaps you get some thing that's worthless, and then again you may get something that has heaps of value; and perhaps you only pay half a dollar for It. It all depends on the bidding. I once sold an old horse to a chap' and he took It home and opened It up. and what d’ye suppose he found inside?” _ "Bota," replied Mr. Gibney, who prided himself on being something of a veterinarian, having spent a few months of his youth around a Avery stable. , “A million dollars In Confederate greenbacks.” replied the auctioneer. “Of course they didn’t have any value, but just suppose they’d been U. S.?” “That’s right," agreed Mr. Gibney. “I suppose the swab that owned th« horse starved It until the poor animal flggered that all’s grass that’s green. As tha feller says, ‘Truth is sometimes stranger than fiction.’ If you throw in a saddle and bridle cheap, I might he induced to Invest In one of your old horses, shipmate.” The auctioneer glanced quickly at Mr. Gibney, but noticing that worthy’s face free from guile, he burst out laughing. "My ses-faring friend,” he said presently, “when we use the term ‘old horse,’ we use it figuratively. See all this freight stored here? Well, that’s never been called for by the consign ees, and after it’s In the warehouse a year and isn’t called for. we have an old horse sale and auction It off to the highest bidder. Ravey?" Mr. Gibney took refuge In a lie. “Of course. I do. I was Just klddin* you. my hearty." (Here Mr. Glbney’s glance rested on two long heavy sugar- pine boxes, or shipping eases. Their Jolnta at all four corners were cun ningly dove-tailed and wire-strapped.) “1 was a hit Interested In them two boxes, an* seeln’ as this Is a free coun try, I thought I’d Just step In an’ make s bid on them,” and with the words, Mr. Gibney walked over and bua'ed himself In an Inspection of the two crates la question. The fact of the matter waa that ao embarrassed was Mr. Gibney at the exposition of his Ignorance that he desired to hid# tbe coo fusion evident In hla sun tanned face. So be stooped over the crates and pretended to be exceedingly Interested In them, haul ing and pushing them about and read ing the address of the consignee who had failed ta mil for his goods.

However,- In order to earn 4hat fifty dollars, I got to back water. It wouldn’t bo playin’ fair If I didn’t. But that don’t prevent me from puttin’ two dear friends o’ mine (here Mr. Gibney en circled Scruggs and McGuffey with an arm each) next to the secret which I discovers, an’ if therq’s money In It for old Hbokyr that buys me off, It stands to reasoti that there’s money In It for us three. What’s to-prevent you sn’ McGuffey from goln’ up to this old horse sale an’ biddln’ in thetfi two boxes for the use and benefit of Gibney. Scraggs an’ McGuffey, ail share an’ share alike? You can bid as high as a hundred dollars. If neces sary, an’ still come out a thousand dollars to the good. Pro tellln’ you this because I know whaPs in them two boxes.” v McGuffey was staring fascinated at Mr. Gibney. Captain Scraggs clutched his mate’s arm In a frenzied dasp. “Whatr* they both Interrogated. “You tug hoys,” continued Mr. 01b- ney ’ with aggravating deliberation, “ain’t what nobody would call dum mies.

"Well, that’s up In Chinatown, all right," admitted Captain Scraggs, “but how about whet's (aside the twe crates?"

As they passed Lime point, Mr. Gib ney prepared to shorten sail and like a clarion blast his voice rang through the ship, . “Clew up them royals.” He lashed the wheel and they brought the clew lines again to the winch head. The ship was falling off a little before the fore-royal was clewed up, so Mr. Gibney ran hack to the wheel and put her on her course again while McGuf fey brought the main-royal clewlines to the winch.

Therefore, both men fired with the utmost frankness their opinion of their employer, tine word b-iranother until dipioiwnt- ie ruiaX.oux '*»,..i p language of the elavic, they “mixed •t.” They were fairly well matched, ami, to the credit of Captain Scraggs be it said, whenever be believed him self to have u fighting chance Scraggs would fight and tight well, under the Tom-cat rules of fisticuffs. Following u bloody battle in the pilot house, lie subdued the mute; following ills victory he was still war mud, so lie went to the engine-room hatch and abused the engineer. As a result of the day's events, both men quit when tlie Maggie was tied up at Jackson htreet wharf and once more Captain Scraggs was helpless. In his extrem ity, he w ished lie hadn't been so hard on Mr. Gibney and McGuffey, for tie realized he could never hope to get them back until their salvage money should he spent. Godless and wholly irreclaimable ns Mrv..Gibney and Mr. McGuffey might have been and doubtless were, each possessed in bounteous measure the sweetest of human attributes, to-wit: a soft, kind heart and a forgiving spir it. Creatures of impulse both, they found It absolutely impossible to nour ish a grudge against Captain Scruggs, when, upon returning to Scab Johnny’s •"hpardlbg" house, their host handed leitLxfl grubby note from their enemy. It wna^ahort apd sweet and sounded quite sincere; Mr. Gibney read it aloud: „< . ”(.hr Board lifte Maggie, Saturday night “Dear Friends: * your kidden when you twok the Chesa peake away from me.

In the center of the group Mr. Gib ney noticed a tall, lanky Individual, evidently the leader, who yvas Issuing instructions in a low voice to his henchmen. ' This Individual, though Mr. Gibney did not know 1t, “Was the King of the Forty Thieves. As Mr. Gibney luffed into view the kihg eyed him with suspicion'.

He went first to the Seaboard drug store, where he quizzed the druggist for five minutes, after which he con tinued his cruise. Upon reaching the Maggie, he proceeded* to relate In de tail, and with additional details sup plied by hia owq, imagination, the story of his morning adventure. “Gib,” sain McGuffey enviously, “you’re a fool for luck.’’ “Luck,” said Mr. Gibney, beginning to expand, “is what the feller calls a relative proposition—” .‘‘You’re wrong, Gib," Interposed is un- fr tn- rhurklebesded son of a Irish potato?
