Jameson is returning to Scotland and Is very willing to lease the boat. We have cleared her for Naples. Crew of six men and mate, all Scotch. The captain, as I told you before, has gone to England, so your naval lieutenant must act as your navigator. She is found as to stores for crew-- , but as you have suggested. I have put Ice and cabin supplies on board, according to the memorandum you gave me. "Then I think we11 be able to live very comfortably for a couple of weeks, observes Barnes, meditatively, lighting a cigar. "The Seag ill has already dropped out of the Vi;ux port, where she was laying and she will be off the Corniche road as you directed. I'll have a boat on shote at the Rottcas Itlanc. Then the next .thing Is to get the ladies on board, and that, of course, we cannot do until after dark, remarks Burton. "You had best not be seen about here any more, Emory, but you had better be on board the Seagull when we arrive there, so as to turn the vessel over to me. See who arrives on the next steamer from either Bastia or Ajaccio, and if this Bernardo Salieeti turns up, notify me If there Is any meeting between him and Danella." "Yes, 111 shadow everything, even you," chuckles the sleuth, grimly. By the by, here's Perrier's address in Nice. He Is quite often there.

I must take no chances with the ladies in our company." Then Barnes goes off to Lady Chart'Is' parlor to make some necessary financial arrangements with that lady. Mr. Barnes has scarcely finished these and Lady Chartris has cat t ied away his check delighted, when Maud bounces tn upon him. her eyes big wJth excitement and mystery. Gee, Marina la a case!" she whispers. Why? asks Burton, glancing sharply at her. Why, getting a note from a man the second day she was married and crazy with fear her 48 hours' bridegroom will tl roo onto her little game." Barnes gazes upon the infant prodigy and emits a low whistle. You are certainly a hummer, Maudie, he remarks, solemnly. You bet!" assents Miss Chartris. who has just stepped in from an exciting Interview with Marina that has run about In this way; The beautiful Corsican bride, appar-entlhaving recovered from the first shock of the letter In the Marseilles depot, being dressed, at Enid's request, for her carriage excursion, seems now full of an excited yet morbid anxiety. ( talning opportunity tvhen Miss C uartris lias entered her bedroom to give her a kiss, tender her condolences and get Into the affair "with both feet," as the adolescent Intrigante presses it to herself, Marina whispers, a sttange pathos In her eyes: "Maud, dear, you have come to give me that letter you picked up the one I dropped on the floor of the rati road depot when when I was overcome with the heat this morning. Jinks, that's a nice way of putting It overcome with the heat? It was the letter knocked you," returns the Chartris Infant, with a knowing wink. "No mutter what it was affected me," whispers the young Corsican "The letter I must lady, Intensely. Yes. y e. Ma- rina, wildly.

Another base Insinuation from your childish lips and I'll tell your mother you hud that letter concealed! Away!" Iatoklng like a frenzied goddess, Marina opens her door and Maud speed from It. Gee, remarks the young lady to herself, as she flits along the hotel passageway and notes Anstruther keeping watch outside his wife's door. Her eyes are still big with suspected Intrigue as she continues her conversation with Mr. Barnes by suddenly "She wants to see you!" 'interjecting: "Who?" Marina, the bride, of course. She wants to give you a hint not to let th? cut out of the bag to Edwin about the man whoso letter made her faint."
