"He'll be that, miss, sure enough, If he's peaceably disposed; otherways Sam McKillop has a heavy hand with the rope's end." s Full of misgivings for Roy. whose cross grained nature seemed likely to got him Into trouble, I went In all haste to the far stem, picking rr.y way among all sorts of dirt till some one produced Sam McKillop, a big. burly man, with rough black beard and great, bare, hairy arms. "That's me. Who wants Sam McKillop? Will it be you, mem?" "It's about my dog, Mr. McKillop," I said sweetly. "A golden collie; answers to the name of Roy." "I mind him. But did you say you, mem?

I followed the Indication, and there was Itoy lying at ease In his rude kennel; his beautiful head rested on his two fore paws, and he looked perfectly contented ami happy. At my approach he barely lifted his large, sleepy eyes, but there was something like a wink of recognition In them, accompanied by a rustle In the straw from the wagging of his ponderous tail. This couinh'te eliaiiso In bis demean or wns a pleasant surprise. 1 did not seek to explain It to myself, but speaking a few words of encouragement, I left klin. More pressing matters called me aft. The steamer was already beyond the shelter of the land, and the sea had risen under a fast freshening summer gale. I was not sorry to get back to my berth, and soon had no further concern with mundane affairs, or the passage of time. My only recollections of the next three days are a confused memory of acute discomfort. We were all wretchedly HI?mother, poor dear! Fanshawe, of course, nnd 1, although hitherto I had liked the sea. My own collapse was, no doubt, the reaction from the keen anxieties that 'had oppressed me before departure. They were as keen as ever now; but when I roused myself from the stupor of seasickness, and crawled up on deck to breathe the magnificent ozonized air of the Atlantic, I felt revived and more fit to face them. Some one helped me to my deck chair. It wns my friend Mr. Rossiter. Some one bud placed it In a sheltered corner?Mr. llosslter. Some one got wraps for me, and a novel, and a deck aton'Q rrf rxrI lit o mm nf InrlrvAen t n r# DVVIIUIU "III* I* VUJ# Wfc iUII^VIttllUg beef tea; this same some one left me in peace to recover health and strength? always Mr. Ilosslter. I blessed the kindly, considerate chivalry of American men. Now, as 1 lounged there lazily, 1 began to look Into things a little more closely, and to consider how far I had advanced matters or served tho cause by this escapade of mine. I had failed in the very first task 1 had set myself, that of keeping a watch upon the conspirators. 1 had seen ? nothing of them for three days. 1 knew no more about them than when I had come on board, and 1 had no clear notion how 1 should act when I arrived In New York, what would be best, or what would come of anything I did. Despair and despondency seized me; I felt utterly helpless, useless, and was full of self reproach. Yet daylight was nearer than I thought. X now saw Mr. Rossltcr approaching utul leading Ro by his chain. "Here's some one you may be glnd t see." be said pleasantly. "1 got leav to give blin a short run." "Your dog?

"Reckon no many American women would stanc that sort of talk from their husbands He's telling her she ought not to liav< taken up with you?that he had ex pressly ordered her to make no chanei acquaintances. It's a queer game about that dog." "What do you know about the dog? I asked, aulte frightened. "Everything, Miss Falrholme. More than you do, I guess," he said, with a little laugh. "Who arc j-ou?" "A friend. But this Is too public a place to talk In. Are you equal to a turn upon the deck? We shall be safe away aft there, and It will be supposed we are exercising the dog." I went readily enough and was greatly comforted by what I heard. This Mr. Rossiter, who had been so attentive, was an ally and agent of Mr. Snuyxer, who had been deputed to take his placo in case lie could not go himself by ojir steamer.

I left mil street in pretty goo< humor, for Miss Fridn Falrholme gav< me a draft on account which migli have won me from your employment 1 bhe wanted my services. Then I wen home, and, having warned Joe Vlnlli to be in readiness to accompany me, ! waited for my last orders. I had beei told I was to be associated with J British officer, n friend of the captnlnft and that he would Join me right away so we might take tiie cars at once to Plymouth. But my geutleman nova appeared till any hour, and when b> did annear he showed nn n? n lil#k mrm -i' ?' ? -5efalutiu jack-a-daiuly wliom I though no better than a dude. But I wa wrong there, aud I will say at one that 1 cottoned to him some befoa we parted. My instructions came in a letter. I was addressed to me, indorsed "Imms diate," in an envelope marked "On H? Majesty's Sen-ice," which I am not, a you know, and don't want to be, bclnj a freeborn loyal subject of Uncle Sam The letter inside was headed with th royal arms and signed "Charles Col llngham, major general." It was t Inform me that the steam tug Jacol Sllverton had been secured for a pa* tlcular business, .and would be fount same night lying at the Plymouth plei head, with fires banked, ready to go t sea at a moment's notice. The letter went on: - , I undent*nd from Lloyd*, and it baa been ck culated from th* admiralty chart* a* th* ba*la < h*r *p*ed and thy progresa ah* ha* made, thi th* yacht Fl*ur-d*-Li* ahould b* abrtait of tl y J Idzard about dawn or, say, 3:30 to 4 a. m. t morrow.

Major Kwcte Tbornhlll, R. A., the bearer < this letter, will travel with you to Plymouth. II d is a friend of Captain Wood's and brother sta 0 officer and will be glad to co-operate in the re cue and render any assistance. I found a tall, military looking gontlt man at the door In a hansom. "Hop In," he cried pleasantly. "Onl, I Just time to catch the 5 express." , 1 preferred to travel with Joe, hut w L Joined forces at Faddlngton, wher rti tr irnnllomnn !? ?-? j j 6vuiicumu uou secured n compart ment, and we started to talk over ou business right away. "Hang that fellow Willie Wood!" he gnu the major. "Wish he was ct tlx bottom of the sea. I was due this vcr; night at a big feed at the Charlatai . club, and I've had to spend It in th * train. Got me a Jnwbatlou, too, frou j the chief, for we were all out at luncl 3 when he came In, and as I was the firs , back 1 had to take the rough edge o I his tongue and came In for this ugl: f Job.

I told him the whole story from tlx j beginning, at parts of which he laugh I ed and parts looked very grove. I "Always was a garden ass, Willi } Wood, but a good chop?good as the; make 'em. He'd give you the shirt of his back and always ready to do al your work if you'd let him. Now, I'l . do my level best to pull hlra out of till mess If I can. What chance have we " Let's see how It stands." J With that he pulled a small chart ou ~ of his pocket and a pair of dividers We went over the points one by one and he took them all in a clear, quid , way that was beautiful to see. It was lie first time I'd had to work with i ( I rltlsh officer, and If they're all llk? this major they're a spry, smart lot and don't you forgot It. "It's all a question of time," he salt as he marked n cross upon the chnrl and, after running out a few more fig 1 ures, went on: "That's where the Fleur-de-Lls ouglil to be by daylight, three or four miles to the westward, steaming at the rat< ' we know of, not necessarily gaining but possibly with better speed In ham ' If she wants It. Now, where nliall w< be? That will depend upon how oui hooker steams, and for that we mus wait till we get on board." We found her, the Jacob Sllverton ' with her steam up, lying alongside the * wharf In the MUlbay docks, a::d, ai 1 they expected us, we were soon uudei wny. It was then close on 1 a. m Now the major made anxious inquiries as to her speed, nnd we found the bos ahe could do was about nine knots There were no more than three hour! to daylight, and then we should liav< "It'll be'a near ffilhg, Jor. "However, let's get 40 wink! while they crack on all steam am: make her move." I hod not been In bed for a couple o nights and was sound asleep when th< major woke me. "The luck's against us, Snuyzcr," hi began abruptly. "We've Just mlssei the Fleur-de-LIs; saw her plainl; enough, nnd there was no mlstakinj her, about three miles to the westwon and bore down on her straight.

"A little, I'm afraid. Can't say fo certain. What's worse, she's change< 1 her course southerly." "Why worse?" t "Steering for the French coast. Don' you st'L11 it 8uv cuu muse a r reiiei i port or gain French waters, three mile; ? from shore, you understand, she wil - laugh at us. Can't touch her, they'l I say." I was ready to let out a big oath, bu turned out nnd ran up on deck to se the situation for myself. } It was a perfectly splendid morning The sun strong, sky clear, wate smooth as glass. There was our cliasc leaving a long line of coal black smoke * exactly reflected in the sea. s "They're giving her all they can got, t I said to the skipper, as I cllmbe f quickly on to the bridge, where the pc t lice sergeant joined us. "Is she drav s ing away from us?" 1 "Not much, not much. 1 much dout i If she does at all. The next hour wi i settle that." i, "Has she made us out, think you?"
