In which the man threatens her with
violence If she will not agree to marry
him. She Indignantly refuses. Dick
makes his way to the house and ar
ranges with Alice for an interview
with Doctor Alster, Cutlers phvsb lan.
Dick a reasoning has convinced hirtv
that If, as he suspects. Cutler Is the
victim of a plot which Blake has engi
neered, Doctor Alster is the man upon
whom the conspirators must rely for
the successful working out jxf their
-ptaas.
CHAPTER X.—Vsn Ness frets little
Information from Doctor Alster, but
la convinced that Stenhen Cutler Is. for
some mysterious purpose, being kept
under the Influence of drugs. Marie,
who had believed Blake in love with
her, quarrels w ith, him eoneernlng his
attentions to Alice Cutler. The man
throws her over a ellff into the sea. ano
leaves the spot belt^t ing her dead. She
la rescued by Dick
(CONTINUED FROM LAST WEEK)
Th«re was no why to rcitoh her ei
cept by it straight dive from f >| P .
mled position. Dick reasoned tlml
Rlnte, after the accident, wott'd either
flee ^Aafc-strlcken or hurry down to
the bench with help. In either case,
the fellow would be of little assistance
In the rescue. It nas up to him to
make the effort.
Dick waited until she came to the
mirfnee, which seemed a long, tortur
ing time to him. Her long full had
carried her far beneath the surfni'e.
When her head showed finally for
an instant, bobbing on the crest of a
wave, he took the plunge, making a
dean dive straight for her. The in
evitable sinking anti quick struggle to
recover tils breath on the surface fol
lowed. Then clearing his eyes of the
salt water, he caught a glimpse of her
as ahe was going under the second
time.
Dick was an expert swimmer, and
understood the art of handling a
drowning person. He maoe a sqrface
dive, and caught her by the back of
the hair, twisting it around in his fln-
fem until he had a Ann hold, and then
throwing himself on his back he began
towing tier In.
Fighting his way slowly through the
waves, lie managed Anally to grasp
the neareat rock, and with this as a
lever he swung the struggling bmiy of
the terrified girl into shoal water.
After that It urns easy to pick her op
tad curry her to a safe ledge a few
that abort the highest, roller.
Gasping $ little from his own exer
tions, he rested a moment before pay
ing attention to Marie. lie doubted If
she had swallowed much water; and
her moans afld cries were due more
to hysteria than to any alarming
symptoms. At the worst khe, Would
suffer only a little physical discomfort.
CHAPTER XI

the sen rolling close to her feet. With
an Involuntary shudder and moan she
drew ns far back fropi It as she could.
Dick smiled. v;
“You don't have trt he afraid of It,
Marie. It citn’t reach you.”
She turned her terrified eyes to him.
She was stupidly quiet for u few mo
ments.
"You—you saved me?" she gasped.

"I can’t swim," she replied.
“Then you should keep out of the
wafer. - What made you take the long
dive?"
She shuddered again, and glanced
up at the top of the cliff. Memory
suddenly flooded her inind^ Her eyes
flashed. f
”1 duln't dive!" she said. rt We s
pushed me over. Ho wanted to kill
me—get me out of the waj—the mur
derer !"
"Whom are you speaking df^-Mr.
Blake?"
"Yes, the reptile! He tried to mur
der me. <*h, tiie wretch!" She began
wringing her hands. “He made love
to me—said he'd marry me, and then
—then—14> try to put me out of the
way! Oh! Oh! Oh!”
Dick permitted h'*r to eob undis
turbed, tier whole body shaking vio
lently. When she grew calmer he
spoke wilh emphasis to impress her.
"Marie, I saved your life. You know
that. If I hadn’t plunged in you’d he
food for fishes by this time. Now I’m
going to ask a favor of you In return.
Will you grqrit it?”
“Yes, sir, anythlrg,'’ site replied,
weakly hut honestly.. - . -
"Then I want to know why you be
frayed your mistress and put yourself
Into tiie hands of Mr. Blake and Doc
tor Alsier. Was it because you loved
Blake?"
In spite of her shaking ahe flushed
slightly, and nodded her head.
"I thought so," he re"timed. “In
fact, I knew If. A woman in love will
do the most extraordinary tilings.”
He paused again, glancing seaward
When he turned once more to iter lie
was smiling frankly.
"You didn’t want anything terrible
to happen to Miss Cutler, did you?
That wasn’t a part of the bargain with
Blake, was It?”
"No, sir, he promised not to harm
tier.” she answered ffieekly.
"Nor her uncle?”
“No, sir, iie said he was a gick man.
and needed the change down here. He
w»»n’t going to harm him.” ,
“Then what was his scheme?” asked
Dick bluntly, taking her off her guard
“I—I don’t exactly know.” she stam
mered. "He said something about
making Ills fortune if lie could keen
Mr. Cutler down here for a feu weeks.
It Hvas something about stocks. I
iion t xnow exactly."
■‘H'm!’’ mused Dick. "I think l un
derstand." N v
He was quiet for n few moments.’
Then, noticing the girl's agitation, he
took pity on her. “i’ll get you around
to the beach, Marie. You need dry
clothing."
“I'm cold,” she murimrted, shiver
ing-
“Miss <*utler will help you. \Go to
her and tell her you fell into the wa
ter Don't say anything to her nhoHt

"Thank you. sir. I'll do as yoy ask."
“Then come; I II help, you to the
beach. l*rr*ytp to tiie house, and act
hs if-nothing serious had Im'ppened"
You might, by the way, redeem your
self I'0looking after jvmr mistress a

and Mr. Minke are no friends of hers.’’
"I know ft, sir, hut I'll show them
I am. i'll protect her from them. I’ll
scrat' h their eyes Put, and—and—’ r
"I be'love you would, Marie. Now
*on*e!’’
Pick helped <ier along the of
Die cliff until they reached the beach.
Marie wu» so terrified «*; the wuler
that she clung to Mm desperately un
III her teet touched the sand, and she
knew she was safe. She drew a long
Mgh of relief then/ and at Dick’s bid
e
ding hurried up to the Iiousn.
Returning to his hiding place under
the cliff, where he felt he was reason
ably safe from discovery. Dick, await
ed tiie coming of darkness to put his
plan iu execution. He had gathered
enough facts now to determine his
course of action. It was to be dras
tic, and full of danger; but it was the
only thing under the' circumstance*
to do.
Convinced that Blnke and McGee
would keep a watchful eye on the un
derground wireless In the expectation
that he would revisit the cave either
to destroy tiie Instrument or to op
erate it, lie made his way cautiously
to the vicinity shortly after dark. Pro
ceeding with the utmost care, watch
ing ami listening every few feet, he
gained the summit of a nearby rock
lhat commanded a good view of the
entrance to the cave. Concealed there
among the hushes he l»egan ins long,
vigil. Hi* ear* more than his eyes
had to guldfe him.
Fighting off sleep, he spent the en
tire night watching and waiting, with
out results. Light of a new day with
beginning to break a little in tiie east
when his ear caught the tint aoands
of fcteulLbj footstep*.
THE BARNWELL PEOPLE-SENTINEL, BARNWELL, SOUTH CAROLINA
tanning his head forward he waited
engerl.il. In the half light qf early
fnornhtg he saw a dark figure creep
ing cautiously In the direction of the
cave. It halted frequently to look
around and listen.
"McGJeT" Dick murmured, smiling.
“I thought he’d come."
'e* . .
The sailor was approaching the en
trance In a wide detour,- heating the
brush, us It were,, to make sure his
enemy did not take hbn in the rear'.
When he finally reached the brink of
the hole lie leaned over cautiously
ifnd peered down.
Tills was Dick’s opportunity. Swift
ly but noiselessly he crept upon him
from the rear. Not anticipating any
danger from behind, the man was
leaning far over tq explore tiie Interior
of the cave. The sailor was a for
midable, antagonist, and DJck had no
intention of taking cf^rrros. In
tended to give him a dose of bis own
medicine. ,
With a stout club picked up for the
purpose, Dick dealt the kneeling sea
man a blow on the heatTthat knocked
ail senses out of him. With a grunt
he lurched forward and tumbled into
tiie cave.
■ • ’ ■ ••
Dick was after him. descending rap
idly, and stood over him with tiie chib
upraised before he hud a chance to
struggle to Ids feet. But farther pun-
\{shineiit was' unnecessary. Either the
ftl\»t Mow or the fall on the hard
rocks had made him as helpless as a
child. \TI10 man was still unconscious.
’♦That \yos quick work, McGee, Dick
j-aid exultantly. “Now for a. gag and
some rope.”
He had brought both along with
him, nnd within Hxsiiort time he had
thd? sailor trussed\np and gagged.
Rolling him info a corner Just as con
scion-ness was returningNo the sailor,
he climhed hack out of thVjiole, and
resumed ids vigil
He had every reason to believe
Blake would put in an appearanceMje-
fore daylight.- It was bis habit
send wireless messages Just before tiie
break of day. With McGee ns ad
vance guard to clear the way for film,
there was little^to fear, and when he
(lid finally appear lie approached the
cave with less caution than his con
federate. - ,
Dick had taken possession of an au
tomatic that he found on the seaman,
and with tins in Ids hand lie trailed
in the rear of Blake. ’’ His intention
was to use it to force obedience to Ids
orders, but tiie sight of the man. small
and rather weak of stature, made this
course repugnant to him.
"Turn around, *fr. Blake," he called
calmly!
The man whirled on ids toes as if
electrified. When he saw the giln
pointing at him. his hands started up
v-urd as if to surrender. Dick smiled
at the craven fear on the while, pasty
face.
“Now you’ll go below, to Joi» your
friend. I expect McGee’s lonesome
down there."
"McGCe! Is he down there?" stum
mered Blake.
—“YTVT he’s been listening to our
little altercation."
Dick picked him up am! carried him
fo the entrance. He was a lighp
weight, and without great difficulty lie
gbl him down nnd placed him .along
side ids partner In crime. McGce'shot
him a venomous look and tried to
grunt Ids anger.
“Don't exert vour«elf, McOep.” Dick
said. ’’Yoti’II fmrsnr Mood vtssel
That gag's made to stay in the mouth
You cuu’t work It loose."
"Are you going to gag me?” whined
Blake- ’Til keep quiet if you don't.”
“For the present—no,” replied Dick.
“I may want to ask you some guea- _
lions, and It would be a little ineon
venient to remove the gag to get an
swers from vou.”
He left tiie two In the corner and
"Walked over to tiie wireless, which he
