The appearance of the second en- j : gineer. who at once obeyed the sum- i j mnns, was distinctly encouraging. He ( j was a youngish man. with shift.'' eves and a furtive manner. "Are £5.000 apiece any use to you ! young fellows?" Blunn asked, address J ins them both. .Veilher of them answered. They could only stare. '(let down to your engine room, start up and head this yacht back for Monte Carlo.” Blunn continued, i "and the money is yours.” "Without .Mr. orders?" the officer of the watch gasped. “.Mr. Slattery, at the moment, is j not in a position to give orders,” was j the terse reply. j "What about my chief?” the engi neer demanded. “He is in the same position. You ; have got the run of the ship for a { time. Do as I say and I swear be | fore God you shall have the money.” ■ “The devil!” the mate exclaimed. ! j ”1 thought ihere was some queer | work afoot. What's wrong with Mr. I Slattery?” j "Nothing serious." Blunn assured j them. "I have locked him up.' He is ! trying to play a trick on us. It Is per ; fertly fair and just to defend our selves. He is endeavoring to keep ns from making land before dawn. We are determined to gel there, somehow : or other, ft is £5.000 apiece.

"You will not he getting any one ‘ into trouble at all." Blunn declared, j | ".Mv friend here is Baron Funder j strom. Scandinavian delegate ai the Nice conference. All Mr. Slattery is trying io do Is to prevent his attend ing the meeting tomorrow morning, for political reasons. We intend that he shall be there." "But what's become of mv- chief?" his subordinate asked anxiously. Locked up in his own room,*’ was : ihe blunt reply, "and the captain with him. Thai can't last long. I know, hut it won't take us very long either lo get back to Monaco, with a full head of steam on." All right, ’ the officer of the watch , announced. "I 11 take her in charge. We've scarcely any sail on her now. We ll get rid of that directlv. Five i thousand pounds each, mind!" ft is a bargain." Blunn assured : them. They disappeared in different di rections.

I j Susan looked up as they approached. I I "Where's every one?” she asked 1 curiously. "They all seem to have 1 gone to sleep." "Where is Mr. Slattery?" Gertrude demanded. "And what have vou 1 done with my husband?" "They are all trying to solve the problem of this slight breakdown." | Blunn explained. "It seems to be a more intricate affair than we thought." I "f don't care when we get hack," ' j Susan declared recklessly. "I’ve been to look at the cabins downstairs, and 1 never dreamed of such luxurv in mv : life.” ' "Odd thing about Slattery, though."

I believe he fancies , that his presence encourages les! a utres.” "By jove. it. has. too!" the young j | man exclaimed. "Can't you hear the thud? The engine's started.” There was a chorus of exclamations. Susan rose from her place and glided ! unnoticed to the other side of the deck. CHAPTER XVII. Susan passed unseen down the com i panionway and into the saloon. A THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, T). (J. t FRIDAY, AUGUST 7. 1925. .single steward was there, busy at the j sideboard. “Where are all the others?” she in- j qttired. "They are having supper, your i i ladyship." "Do you know where Mr. Slattery ! ; iS?” "He is in his room with another! gentleman." Susan hesitated for a moment and . then continued on her passage through the saloon. The man deferentially but effectively barred her way. "If your ladyship will excuse me." he said. "Mr. Slattery gave instruc-i tions that he was not to he dis t orbed." "You're telling me r lie." she an swered promptly. "Mr. Slattery gave no such orders.” The man faltered. "Well, the gentleman with him did. your ladyship." • "That isn't at all the same thing." Susan declared. "Stand aside, please.” The man hesitated. He was asome -1 what undersized person, and Susan. ' just then, felt herself possessed with j the strength of half a dozen such. I She swept him on one side, and passed , along the passage beyond the saloon, j At the second door, which she knew to he Grant's, she paused, knocked in vain and then tried the handle. "Who is there?V Grant's voice in quired. "Curse you. shut up!" Yon Dies I j muttered argrily. "Grant, is anything wrong?" Susan i i called out.

A | hand flashed out and caught her by the wrist. She felt herself being ’ dragged into the room. And then pandemonium. The sudden opening iof Ihe door showed her what had! happened. Grant, lounging on his | hunk, covered by Von Dlss’ weapon, j took advantage of that .sudden turn to make the spring which he had been contemplating for some time. Von Dlss' right arm was knocked up by a cruel uppercut: one barrel of the pis tol went off harmlessly Into the wall. With the other hand. Grant struck him on the side of the head. He col lapsed with barely a-groan. half on the floor and half on the sofa. Grant •stooped and packed up the pistol. "Bless you, my child!"'he said to i I Susan, who was standing, amazed hut ; unshaken, on the threshold. "What does. It all mean?” she de manded wonderlnglv. j "Oh. we asked for trouble, all right," i he admitted. We’re abductors, pir | rates, whatever you like. I don’t blame ' ' these chaps for not taking It Ijfing i ; down, i But 1 think they might have! ■ put up a better class fight. Now let's I get on deck. I want to find out who tiie mtschief gave orders to start the engine." . > “Whal about him?” she asked, pointing to the floor where Von Dlss j lay moaning and half conscious. “I'll send a steward down." Grant ! ! promised. "He's got lots of nerve, j ; I will say that for him. He got me 1 covered and his hand was like a rock. 1 He’d have shot me all right if I'd j moved. He made the mistake of his ; life when he took his eye off me to | pull you in. New we'll have to see , about these engines.” She slipped her arm through his. They made their way through the de ! serted saloon, up the companionway. ; and out on the weather side, of the ! deck.’ A young officer came along. | smoking a cigarette. He saluted as Grant spoke to him. "Who's on the bridge, Simpson?” "Foshrooke. sir. it's my relief, but he preferred to go on for another hour. ! Said he had some special orders." j "What's our course?" i “Almost due north, sir." the youth j answered. "We shall fetch Monaco in about two hours.” Grant nodded and walked to the steps leading to the bridge. The look out man stood behind the white can vas. A solitary figure was pacing back and forth. "Stay here," Grant whispered. "There's probably some one else lurk ing about to see that this fellow Isn't Interfered with.” "Not I!" she insisted. “I'm coming! jup with you. You haven’t another! j pistol, have you?” "No. but you can have this one,” he ! answered, pushing it into her hand. i "They won’t suspect your having one 1 and I’m pretty useful with my fists, j Got it? Good! Now. go around the other' side and tell Gertrude to look after her husband. See what's doing, and then come forward. I can’t think what's become of Martin and chief engineer.” She nodded and glided through the j darkness. Her slippered feet were : noiseless upon the deck, and in her I black gown she was almost invisible. jGrant mounted the steps rapidly. There i was no sign of any unauthorized per son upon the bridge. The words of ' stern Inquiry were already framed ! ; upon his lips. Then, just as he stood I ! on the last step, something swung out j i front behind the canvas protection. : j He felt a crashing Wow on Ihe side of j ! his head, a sudden sensation of fury, j I followed by one of darkness.

Get back to your post. Burgess.” The man looked uneasily below. He ■ was not at all satisfied. “Seem* to me they’ve treated him a ! bit roughly, sir," he said, j- “Xot our job." | "Hadn’t I better go down and have a look at him?” he persisted. "Stay where you are. damn you!” | was the angry reply. “We’re doing 2« j knots with a cloud of rain ahead, and :30 fishing boats somewhere about. • Attend to your job.” , I There was a certain Irony about Su j san’s reappearance aft. Grant's string riuarlet hand, of which he was so | proud, had just begun to play soft I music. Funderstrom had rejoined the I little group and was sitting upon the | outskirts, cold and silent as ever. Ger trude and Bose were listening to the music, but the latter was clearly un- : easy.
