"Tie the handkerchief on and get

With painful slowness the man car

The latter half he obeyed with spright

"Will you kindly order the boat

The order was given.
"As soon as I light the fuse I will
come down and we'll pull out fifty
sards. Leave the rest of the Jovelte
vrnere It is. All ready? Here goes."
He touched a match to the fuse. It
caught For a moment he watched it
"Going all right," he reported as he
track the water. "Plenty of time."
Some seventy yards out they rested
on their oars. They waited and waited
and waited.
. "It's out" grunted Trendon.
I From the face of the cliff puffed a
cloud of dust. A thudding report boom
ed over the water. Just a wisp of
whitish gray smoke arose, and beneath
It the great rock with a guping seam
across Its top rolled majestically out
ward, sending a shower of spray on
all sides and opening to their eager
lew a black chas into the heart of
the headland. The experiment had
Worked out with the accuracy of a
geometric problem.
"That's all, sir," Barnett reported of
Hclally. "Magic! Modern magic!" said the
captain. He stared at the open door.
For the moment the object of the un
dertaking was forgotten in the won
der of Its exact accomplishment
"Darrow'11 think an earthquake's
come after him," remarked Trendon.
, "Give way," ordered the captain.
The boat grated on the sand. Cap

squatted and funneJed his hands to

"There's a fire Inside." be said.

nett, Mr. Darrow. Dr. Trendon, Mr.
D arrow."
They shook hands all around.
"Like some silly afternoon tea,"
Trendoa said later in retailing it to
the mess. A pause followed.
"Won't you step in, gentlemen?" said
Darrow. "May I offer you the mak
ings of a cigarette?"
"Wouldn't you be robbing yourself?"
inquired the captain, with a twinkle.
"Oh, you found the diary, then?"
said Darrow easily. "Rather silly of
me to complain so. But really in con
ditions like these tobacco becomes a
serious problem."
"So one might imagine," said Tren
don drily. He looked closely at Dar
row. The man's eyes were light and
dancing. From the nostrils two livid
lines ran diagonally. Such lines one
might make with a hard blue pencil
pressed strongly into the flesh. The
surgeon moved a little nearer.
"Can you give me any news of my
friend Thrackles?" asked Darrow light
ly. "Or the esteemed Pulz? Or the
scholarly and urbane Robinson of
Ethiopian extraction?"
"Dead," said the captain.
"Ah, a pity!" said the other. He
put his hand to his forehead. "I had
thought it probable." His face twitch
ed. "Dead? Very good. In f act
really er amusing."
He began to laugh, quite to himself.
It was uot a pleasant laugh to hear.
Trendon caught and shook him by the
shoulder.
"Drop it!" he said.
Darrow seemed not to hear him.
"Dead! All dead!" he repeated. "And
I've outlasted 'em! I've outlasted 'em!"
And his mirth broke forth In a strange
ly shocking spasm.
Trendon lifted a hand and struck
him so powerfully between the shoul
der blades that he all but plunged for
ward on his face.
"Quit it!" he ordered again. "Get
hold of yourself."
Darrow turned and gripped him.
The surgeon winced with the pain of
the grasp. "I can't," gasped the ma
roon, between paroxysms. "I've been
living In bell a black, shaking, shiv
ering hell, for God knows how long!
What do you know? Have you ever
been buried alive?" And again the
agony of laughter shook him.
"This, then," muttered the doctor,
and the hypodermic needle shot home.
During the return Darrow lay like
a log la the bottom or tne gig. xne
opiate had done its work. Conscious
ness was mercifully dead within him.
CHAPTER XXXII.
EST and good food quickly
brought Fercy Darrow back to
bis normal poise. One Inspec
tion satisfied Dr. Trendon that
all was well with him. He asked to
see the captain, and that gentleman
came to Ives' room, which had been
assigned to the rescued man.
"I hope you have been able to make
yourself comfortable," aaid the com
mander courteously.
"It would be strange Indeed If I
could not," returned Darrow, smiling.
"You forget that you have set a sav
age down in the midst of luxury."
Make yourself free of Ives things,"
Invited Captain Parkinson. "Poor fel
low! He will not use them again, I
fear."
"One of your men lost?" asked Dar
row. "Ah! The young officer whose
body I found on the beach perhaps?"
"No. But we have to thank you for
that burial," said the captain.
Durrow made a swift gesture. "Oh,
If thanks are going," be cried, and
paused in hopelessness of adequate ex
pression. "This has been a bitter cruise for
us," continued the captain.
He sigh

I be resumed.
I "Much," agreed the other gravely,
t "You will want to see Slade first, I
presume?" said the captain,

'not yet bsd the pleasure of meeting?"
The captain stared. "Slade," be
i aaid. "Ralph Slade."

"None."
Darrow got to his feet "I think I'd
like to see Eagen Blade whatever be
calls himself." .
"I don't know," began the captain.
"It might not be" He hesitated and
stopped.
Darrow drew back a little, misinter
preting the other's attitude. "Do I un
derstand that I am under restraint?"
he asked stiffly.
"Certainly not. Why should you be?"
: "Well," .remarked the other content'
platlvely, "it really might be regarded
as a subject for Investigation. Of
course I know only a small part of it
But there have certainly been suspi
cious circumstances. Piracy there has
been, no doubt of that; murder, too, if
my intuitions fire not at fault, or at
least a disappearance to be accounted
for. Robbery can't be denied. And
there's a dead body or two to be prop
erly accredited." He looked the cap
tain In the eye.
"Well?"
"You'll find my story highly unsatis
factory in detail, I fancy. I merely
want to know whether I'm to present
it as a defense or only an explana
tion." "We shall be glad to hear your story
when you are ready to tell it after
you have' seen Mr. Slade."
"Thank you," said Darrow simply,
"You have heard his?"
"Yes. It needs filling In." '
"When may I see him?"
"That's for Dr. Trendon to say. He
came to us almost dead. I'll find out."
The surgeon reported Slade much
better, but all a-qulver with excite
ment. "Hate to put the strain on him," said
he. "But he'll be in a fever till he gets
this thing off his mind. Send Mr. Dar
row to him."
After a moment's consideration Dar
row said, "I should like to have you
Parkinson, while I ask Eagen one or
two questions."
"Understand one thing, Mr. Darrow,"
said Trendon briefly, "this Is not to be
an inquisition."
"Ah!" said Darrow, unmoved. "I'm
to be neither defendant nor prosecu
tor." "You are to respect the condition of
Dr. Trendon's patient sir," said Cap
tain Parkinson, with emphasis. "Out
side of that your attitude toward a
man who has twice thought of your
life before his own Is for you to de
termine." No little cynicism lurked in Darrow'a
tones as be said:
"You have confidence in Mr. Slade,
alias Eagen?"
"Yes," replied Captain Parkinson In
a tone that closed that topic.
"Still, I should be glad to have you
gentlemen present if only for a mo
ment" insisted Darrow presently.
"Perhaps it would be as well on ac
count of the patient" Bald the surgeon
significantly.
"Very well," assented the captain.
The three went to Slade's cabin. He
was lying propped up in his bunk.
Trendon entered first, followed by the
captain, then Darrow.
"Here's your prize, Slade," said the
surgeon.
Darrow baited just inside the door.
With an eager light In his face Slade
leaned forward and stretched out bis
band.
"I couldn't believe It until I saw
you, old man," be cried.
Darrow's eyebrows went np. Before

said the surgeon. "No tnore. If he

At the end of an hour he returned.

WORLD'S MINING EXHIBIT.
International Exposition to Be Held In
New York In May and June.
1 Under the management of a mining
exposition company which was incor
porated a Uttie more than a year ago
there will be held in Madison Square
Garden, New York, from May 25 to
June 30 the first exhibition of practi
cal mining methods and of the prod
ucts of mines in all parts of the world
ever held In New York.
This international mining exposition
is designed as an educational measure.
The officers and those interested In the
exposition company feel that the min
ing business suffers from the lack of
knowledge which the general public
has of it and they believe that this
and other exhibitions will eliminate
certain popular but false ideas.
The exposition has been divided into
seven different departments. The first
Is that of mining machinery and the
second that of minerals from the Unit
ed States and foreign governments.
Then there will be nn exhibition of
mining camps, which will illustrate the
different methods of mining, including
a miners' drilling contest. It is hoped
that one mining company will install a
mine In full operation. There are also
to be on exhibition deposits of various
kinds of metals, all sorts of precious
stones, mineral jewelry and lapidary
work. '
One exhibit will be that of the min
eral resources of the United States.
