path carefully I cam* la a few min-

Quite still recalling th's, sad making
sore that she had come down those
steps In that quiet out-< f-the-way cor-
ner of the world, to Heap tryst with
her father. The stoj and a-half cot-
tage was covered with vines and ■
close-wrapped “In shrubbery. A semi- •
circle of taller pines within shut the
cottage off completely from the high-
way. I crawled through the cedars i
and walked alov' t1."' ly to the gate, |

We gained the ultimate line of the
flower lake, and followed the shore in
search of its outlet, pleasingly set
down on the map as Tippecanoe creek,
which ran off and Joined somewhere
a river of like name. The lake s wa-
ters ran away, like a truant child,
through-a woody cleft, and In a-mo-
ment we were as clean Quit of the
lake as though It did not exist. After
a few rods the creek began to twist
and turn as though with the intention
jof making the voyager earn his way.
|ln the narrow channel the beat of our
lengine rang from the shores rebuklng-
ily, and soon, as a punishment for dis-
turbing the peace of the little stream,
|we grounded on a sand bar.
• "This seems to be the head of navi-
gation. ljlma. 1 believe this creek
[was made for canoes, not battle-
ships."
! Between us we got the launch off,
and I landed on a convenient log and
[crawled up the bank to observe the
[country. I followed a stake-and-rlder
|fence, half hidden In vines of various
[sorts, and tramped along the bank, with
[the creek still singing its tortuous way
below at my right hand. Soon the
rail fence gave way to barbed wire;
the path broadened and the under-
brush was neatly cut away. Within
lay a amall vegetable garden, care-
ifully tilled; and farther on I saw a
dark green cottage almost shut tn by
'beeches. The path dipped sharply
'down and away from the cojtage, and
a moment later I had lost sight of it;
[but below, at the edge of the creek,
[stood a long houseboat with an ex-
pended platform or deck on the water-
aide.
I 1 can still feel, as l recall the day
and hour, the utter peace of the scene
[when first 1 came upon that secluded
spot: The ntelodiouB flow of the
joreek beneath; the flutter of homing
jwlngs; even the hum of Insects In the
sweet, thymy air. Then a step farther
!and I came to a gate which opened on
ia flight of steps that led to t)ie house
[beneath; and through the Intervening
tangle 1 saw a man sprawled at ease
[in a steamer chair on the deck, hla
rmi under Ills head. As 1 watched
him he sighed and turned restlessly,
and I caught a glimpse of close-
trimmed beard and short, thin, slight-
RI D ctATB.
R. HART RIDGE,
Canoe Maker.
Tippecanoe, Indiana.
This, then, was the home of the
canoe-maker rientiored by ljlma. I
found his name ropeuied on the rural
delivery mall box aflixed to the sign-
post. Henry Holbrook was probably a
boarder at the house—lt‘ required no
great deductive powers to fathom
that. I stole back through the hedge
and down to the houseboat. 8everal

ly gray hair.
i The place was clearly the summer
[home of a city man In search of quiet,
[and I was turning away, when sud-
denly a woman’s voice rang out clear-
ly from the bank.
[ “Hallo, the houseboat!"
J “Yes; I’m here!” answered the man
ibelow. ‘j-
1 “Come on, father; I’ve been looking
,for you everywhere," called the voice
again.
\ "Oh, It’s too bad you’ve been wait-
ing,” be answered.
[ "Of course I’ve been waiting!” she
.flung back, and he Jumped up and ran
[toward her. Then down the steps
[flashed Helen Holbrook In white. She
jpauaed at the gate an Instant before
[continuing her descent to the creek,
banding her bead as she sought the
remaining steps.
"Daddy, you dear old fraud, I
thought you were coming to meet me
!oa the ridge!”
[ I turned and groped my way along
the darkening path. My heart was
[thumping wildly and my forehead was
[wet with perspiration.
; ljlma stood on the bank lighting his
ilantarn, and I flung myself into the
^launch and bade him run for home.
I We were soon crossing the lake. I
lay back on the cushions and gazed
iUP at th* bright roof of stars. Before
jl reached Glenarm the shock of find-
ing Helen Holbrook In friendly com-
munication with her father had
passed, and I sat down to dinner at
nine o’clock ' Ith a sound appetite.
ilt Flashed Over Me That He Waa the
Dark Sailor I Had Ordered from
Glenarm. J
1 CHAPTER V.
I —
A Fight on a Houseboat.
j At ten o’clock I called for a horse
and rode out Into the night, turning
Into the country with the Intention
[of following the lake road to the re-
[glen T had explored In the launch a
few hours before. All was dark at
[8t. Agatha's as 1 passed. No doubt
[Helen Holbrook had returned In due
course from her visit to her father
[and, after accounting plausibly to her
aunt for her absence, was sleeping the
[sleep of the Just. Now that 1 thought
of the matter In all Its bearings, 1 ac-
cused myself for not havltig gone
dlreotly to St. Agatha's from the lone-
ly house on Tippecanoe creek and
[Waited for her there, demanding an
explanation of her perfidy. She was
[treating Miss Pat Infamously; that
was plain; and yet In my heart I was
-eneualng and defending her. A fam-
ily row about money was ugly at
beat; and an unfortunate—even
[criminal—father may still have some
claim on his child.
j Then, as against such reasoning,
the vtalon of Miss Pat rose before me
- -and I felt whatever chivalry there
is la me arouse with a rattle of
spears. Paul Stoddard, in committing
[that dear old gentlewoman to my care,
not asked me to fall in love with
niece; so. Impatient to be thus
ed between two inclinations, I
chirruped to the horse and galloped
ever the client white road.
The whele region was very lonely,
now that the beat of hoofs no lon-
raag la my ears the quiet was op
I struck through th* wood
found th* creek, end the path be-
laid* H. Th* little stream waa etlll
imnrmuri >g Its own name mucleally,
With pergspe a softer not* la defee-
canoes, carefully covered with tar-
pkullns, lay about the deck, and chairs
were drawn up close to the lotig, low
house in shipshape fashion. If this
houseboat was the car oe-fnaker’s shop
he had chosen a secluded and pictur-
esque spot for it.______
As I leaned against the rail study-
ing the lines of the house, I hoard sud-
denly the creak of an oarlock tn the
stream behind, and then low voices
talking. 1 drew back against the
house and waited. Possibly the ca-
noe maker had been abroad, or, moro
likely, Henry Holbrook had gone forth
upon some mlchief, and my mind flew
at ’once to the two women at St. Aga-
tha's, one of whom at least was still
under my pro toot ion. The boat ap-
proached furtively, and I heard now
very distinctly words* spoken In
Italian;
"Have a care; climb up with the
rope and I’ll follow.”
Then the boat touched the platform
lightly and a gecojud 4ater a man
climbed nimbly up the side. HIs com-
panion followed, and they tied their
boat to the railing. They paused now
to reconnolter—so close to me that I
could have touched them with my
hands—and engaged in a colloquy
The taller man gave directions, th#
other replying in monosyllables to
show that he understood.
“Go to the side porch of the cottage,
and knock. When the man comes to
the door tell him that you are the
chauffeur from an automobile that has
broken down In the road, and that
you want help for a woman who hae
been hurt."
“Yes, sir.”
"Then—you know the rest.”
"The knife—It shall be done.”
I have made It the rule of my life,
against much painful experience and
the admonitions of many philosophers,
to act first and reason afterwards.
And here It was a case of two to one.
The men began stealing across the
deck toward the steps that led up to
the cottage, and with rather more
zeal than Judgment I took a step after
them, and clumsily kicked over a
chair that fell clattering wildly. Both
men leaped toward the rail at the
sound, and I flattened myself against
the house to await developments. The
silence was again complete.
“A chair blew over,” remarked one
of the voices.
"There Is no wind,” replied the oth
er, the one I recognized as belonging
to the leader.
"See what you can find—and have
a care!”
The speaker went to the rail and
began fumbling w|th the rope. The
other, I realized, was slipping quite
noiselessly along the smooth planking
toward me, his bent body faintly sil-
houetted tn the moonlight. I knew
that I could hardly be distinguishable
from (he long line of the house, and I
had the additional advantnge of know-
ing their strength, while I was still an
unknown quantity to them. The men
would assume that l was either Hart-
ridge, the boatmaker, or Henry Hol-
brook, one of whom they had come
to kill, and there Is, as every one
knows, little honor In being the victim
of mistaken identity. 1 heard the
man's hand scratching along the wall
as he advanced cautiously; there was
no doubt but that he would discover
me In another moment; so I resolved
to take the initiative and give battle.
My finger-tips touched the back of
one of the folded camp chairs that
rested against the house, and I slow-
ly clasped It. I saw the leader still
standing by the rail, the rope tn hh
band. Hle accomplice was so close
that I could hear his quick Breathing,
and something In his dimly outlined
crouching figure was familiar. Then
It flashed over me that he was the
dark Bailor I had ordered from Gleo-
arm that afternoon.
He waa now within arm's length of
me nnd 1 Jumped out, swung th* chair
high and brought It down with a oraah
on' his head. “The 16ro* of The "blow
carried ns* forward and Jerked th*
chair oat o' tny grasp, and down we
went with a m ghty thump. I f*H the
Italian's body slip and twist lithaly
under me aa I tried to claap hla anna.
He struggled fiercely to free hlmeelf,
and I felt the point of a knife prick
my left wrlat sharply .aa I sought to
bold hla right mm to th* deck. Hla
muscle* were like Iron, and I had no
wish to lot him clasp me la hla short
thick arms; nor did tho Idea of being
struck with a knife cheer mo greatly
In that first moment of tha fight
My main bu .lneas was to keep free
of the knife., He waa slowly lifting
me on hla knees, wbila I gripped hla
arm with bo b hands. Tba other maa
had dropped Into tbe boat and waa
watching us acroaa tba rail.
Make huts, Giuseppe!” bo called
Impatiently, and I laughed a little,
either at bla confidence In th* out-
come or at his care for bla own se-
curity ; and my courage roe* to find
that I bad only one to reckon with. I
suddenly clipped my left hand down to
where my right * tpped hi* wrtet and
wrenched It eba ply. Hla flngera re-
laxed, and wheu 1 repeated tbe twlet
the knife rattled on the deck.
I broke away and leaped for th*
rail with some Idea of Jumping Into
the creek end swimming for lt7 and
then the man In the boat le't go twlpo
with a revolver, the echoing explo-
sions roaring over the still creek with
the sound of'saluting battle ships.
Hold on to that man—hold him!"
be shouted from below. I heard th*
Italian scraping about on th* deck for
his knife as I dodged round th* house.
I was satisfied to let thing* stand as
they were, and leave Henry Holbrook
and the canoe-maker to defend their
own lives and property. Then, when
I was about midway of the steps, a
man plunged down from the garden
and had me by the collar and on my
back before I ku"w what had hap-
pened.
There was an Instant's silence lp
which I heard angry voices from th*
houseboat. My new assailant lis-
tened, too, and I felt his grasp on me
tighten, though I was well winded and
tame enough.
I heard the boat-strike the platform
sharply as tbe second man Jumped
Into It; theq for nn Instant silence
again held the valley.
My captor seemed to dismiss th*
retreating boat, and poking a pistol
Into niy ribs gave me his attention.
‘Climb up these steps, and do aa
I tell you. If you run, I will shoot
you like a dog."
"There’s a mistake—” I began,
chokingly, for the Italian had almost
strangled me and my lungs were as
empty as a spent bellows.
“That will do. Climb!” He stuck
the revolver Into my back and up I
went and through the garden toward
the cottage. A door opening on the
veranda vat slightly ajar, and I was
thrust forward none too gently Into a
lighted room.
My captor and 1 studied each other
attentively for half a minute. He waa
beyond question the man whom Helen
Holbrook had sought at the house-
boat In the summer dusk. Who Hart-
rldge was did not matter; It was evi-
dent that Holbrook waa quite at home
in the canoe-maker's house, and that
he had no Intention of calling any on*
else Into our affair*. He had undoubt-
edly heard the revolver shots below
and rushed from the cottage to Inves-
tigate; and, meeting me In full flight,
he had naturally taken it for granted
that I was Inv o! •<! In some design* on
himself. As he leaned against a
table by the door his grave blue eyes
scrutinized me with mingled Indigna-
tion and Interest.
I seemed to puzzle blip, and his gaze
swept me from head to foot several
times before ho spoke. Then his ayes
flashed angrily and he took a step to-
ward me.
‘Who In tbe devil are you and what
do you want?” ,
'My name is Donovan, and I don’t
want anything except to get home.”
"Where do you come from at this
hour of the night?”
”1 am spending the stupmer at Mr.
Glenarm's place, noar Annandale.”
“That's rather unlikely; Mr. Glen-
arm Is abroad. What were you doing
down there on the creek?” _
”1 wasn't doing anything until two
men came along to kill you and I
mixed up with them and got badly
mussed for my trouble.”
He eyed me with a new Internet.
“They came to kill me, did theyt
You tell a good story, Mr. Donovan.”

“Where you hud no business to

“Granted. I had no business to be
there; hut I was there and came near
getting killed for my impertinence, as
I have told you. Those fellows rowed
up from the direction of the lake. On*
of them told the other to call you to
your door on the pretense of summon-
ing aid for a broken motor car off
there In the road. Then he was to
stab you.' The assassin was an Ital-
ian. His employer spoke to him ln
that tongue. I happen to be ac-
quainted with It."
"You are a very accomplished per-
son," he observed, dryly.
He walked up to me and felt my
pockets.
“Who fired that pistol?”
"Tbe man tn charge of the expedi-
tion. The litiliaii was trying to knlfo
me on the deck, and I broke away
from him and ran. Hla employer had
gone back to the boat for safety and

the platform. It's not the fault of

An Inner door back of me creaked
slightly. My captor swung round at
tbe sound.
."O Rosalind! It's all right. A gen

The door closed gently, and I heard
the sound of steps retreating through
the cottage. I noted the anxious look
In Holbrook's face as he waited for
the sounds to coase; then he ad-
dressed me again.
