The group dissolved and moved rap-Idl-y toward ns. Miss Browne, exultant, beaming, was tn the van. She set her substantial feet down like a charger pawing the earth. You might almost have said that Violet pranced. Aunt Jane was round-eyeand twittering. Mr. Tubbs wore a look of suppressed astonishment, almost of "What's his game?" perturbation. was the question In the sophisticated eye of Mr. Tubbs. But the Scotchman had, when he chose, a perfect poker face. The great game of bluff would have suited him to a nicety. Miss Browne advanced on Cuthbert Vane and seized both his hands In an ardent clasp. "Mr. Vane," she said with solemnity, "I thank you In the name of this ex- peuition I thank you for the Influence you have exerted upon your friends." And this seemed to be to the noble youth the most stunning of all the shocks of that eventful morning. Now came the matter of drawing up the new agreement. It was a canny Scot Indeed, who, acting on the hint I had Just given him, finally settled Its terms. In the first place, the previous agreement was declared null and void. In the second, Mr. Tubbs was to have his fourth only If the treasure were discovered through his direct agency. And it was under this condition and no other thnt Dugald Shaw hound himself to relinquish his original claim. Virginia Harding signed a new renunciatory clnuse, but it bore only on treasure discovered by Mr. Tubbs. Indeed, the entire contract was of force only If Mr. Tubbs fulfilled his part of It, nnd fell to pieces If he did not. Which was exactly what 1 wanted. No difficulty was made of the absence of Captain Magnus, as his interests were unaffected by the change. Smce was left for his signature. Mine came last of all,' as thai of a mere Interloper and hanger-on- . My demonstrations of Joy at this nappy issue of my hopes had to be confined to a smile In which for a startled instant Violet had seemed to sense the triumph. It was still on my mi us nun u general movement we rose from the table about which we bad been grouped during the absorb Ing business of drawing up the con tract. Cookie had been clamoring for us to leave, that he might spread the table for lunch. I had opened my mouth to call him, "All right.

In the same Instant the voice of Cookie, raised to a sharp note of alarm, rang thruuuh the camn: "My Gawd, what all dls yere mean?"

"Miss Browne, I do not recognize the Justice of your standpoint In this mutter. I hnvedone nnd am still prepared to do my best In the business of the treasure. If Mr. Tuhbs will not give his information except for a bribe, I say let hira keep It. I shall continue the search for the treasure on the same lines as at present." "One moment," said Miss Browne haughtily. She had never spoken otherwise than haughdly to Mr. Shaw since the episode of the Wise Woman of Dumbledykes. "One moment, Jane and you, Mr. Tuhbs " She drew thein aside,, and they moved off out of earshot, where they Blood with their backs to us nnd their heads together. It was my opportunity. Violet herself had proposed that the original which agreement the agreement bound me to ask for no share of the tivnsure should be canceled. Nothing now was necessary to the ripening of my hopes but to Induce Dugald Shaw to Immolate himself. Would he !o so on my bare word? There was no time to explain anything he must trust me. I sprang up nnd dashed over to the pair who stood looking gloomily out to sea. "Mr. Shaw," I whispered quickly, "you must do ns Miss Browne wishes." In my earnestness I laid a hand upon his arm. He regarded me bewllderedly. "Von must you must !" I urged. "You'll spoil everything If you re- fuse!" The surprise In his face yielded to a look composed of many elements, but which was mainly hard and bitter. "And still I slrnll refuse," he said sardonically. , "Oh, no, no," I Implored, "you don't understand ! I oh, If you would only believe that I am your frleudl" His face changed subtly. It was still f lestlonlng and guarded, but with a softening In It, too. "Why don't you believe It?" I whispered unsteadily. "Do you forget that I owe you my life?" And at the recollection of that day e In the the scurlet burned In my cheeks nnd my head drooped. But I saw how the lines about his mouth relaxed.
