Runlott aaid, and «ho had neglected the matter before leaving for Florida. Dudley had a feeling that it had never been brought to her attention, and hla feeling became conviction when ha laarned that ahe had left Portland only the day before The whole affair waa aaauming an aspect of tho boldest aort of trickery Dudley, however, was caught In the grip of circumstance*. There was nothing for him to do st this lats date but take the Kllsabeth out to sea lfe had signed as skipper Kunlett had seen to that, and there would be an endless amount of Itti ration caused should he attempt to break his contract. H wa« while Dudley wsm on this voyage that Captain Terry Cochran's busmen* brought him to I'ortland Captain Terry had no other thought than to look up the man whom he and Captain Joe Dabney had learned to admire during those trying Nor folk day a In Bpring Haven Cochran found Pudley gone, but there were plenty of hotel losfem to tell him sll the roost p. It did not take him long to see how matters stood, and his im pulsive Irish sympathiee were enlist ed with the Struggles of the under dog. He left no stone unturned and even old Kllery 11. Titus was lured 1 into coi*%*erwation when he entered the hotel for a chat with the land lord. "lletween the two of us. sir." In slnuated Terry, at the proper mo ment.

"Kr—your figure of speech la more pictureeque than elegant, young man." objected Kllery Titus, whose feelings were ruffled. "The Informs tion has been known among bank ers and ship-brokers for some time. While it larks confirmation—" " "Tie much more that It lartis." biased Terry. Thurber A Oerrlah can't build a steam hencoop. Thur ber was 1n New York last month to try and place a blanket mortgage on the property, but he never got a look in. K heard all about It In Norfolk My own company owns Thurber A Oerriah stock. Amos Kunlett doesn't know that. F can talk freely to you. Mr. Titus, for I know how much you love tha man." Terry Cochran wan ■orry for hla rudeness and offered an Hnpulaltrs apology The proaldent of the Spring llavon National, accused of the moat at upid credulity, faltered ufler a struggle: "Many piece* of Wothorell vessels are owned In thla town. Thla waa a matter of local concern. I Inter vtewed Mr Amoa Hunlett without do lay. He conflrmo<l tha atatement." "Runlott confirmed It?" eagerly do rnanded Terry, "lie knew the story waa falae. Trust him to run I* down, for It waa a vital matter It would amnsh tho market valuation of hla own arhooner*, If true And ha confirmed It to you! And for what? We have stumbled on a wood pile that Ik full of nlggera, Mr Tltua, -\nd they don't hall from Norfolk " Tlie mind of Ellery Tltua waa la borloualy putting two and two to gether.

"Hold on tight and keep smiling Mr. Titus, for If Amoa Runlott wants to get hla hands on It, there's a rea son. It looks ao tempting to me that I Intend to hock my watch and buy."
