Lady Darlington, it was true I be*
lieved myself to be la absolute com-
mand of this vessel. Mow I gravely
suspect whether I may sot be a mere
puppet, helpless la the hands of etit-
ers. As I have already endeavored te
explain, it waa comparatively easy far
me to mistake this yacht for the Bn-
moral da. They are very much allhit
and I had enjoyed no opportunity for
closely observing either. But it Is Im-
possible for me to conceive how the
others of my party could have inno-
cently made such an error. What
project they may have had in mind I
cannot even guess, but I believe now
the Sea Queen was deliberately cap-
tured, and thht I have been decoyed

SYNOPSIS.
Darlington was greatly interested,
and most desirous of attended. The
unfortunate scene which occotfced at
the, hotel early fa the evening left
me, however, with sd severe a head-
ache that 1 begged th be allowed to re-
main here alone with Celeste. At first
both Lord Darlington and mamma re-
fused to depart without me, but when
the presidents dispatched his own
steam launch to convey the party to
the wharf, they decided it would be
moat discourteous not to attend. Lord
Darlington's membership fit the house
pm
erwise I relied entirely upon the
knowledge of the officers under me.
We boarded what 1 believed to be the
Esmeralda -soon after midnight, over-
came the small harbor watch with lit-
tle difficulty, captured the engine
room, and, by holding a gun at his
ear, persuaded the engineer to operate
his machinery in our service. The
very audacity of the attempt brought
comparatively easy success. The main
cabin had been secured by my orders
when we first arrived aboard, and I
came below just now, after all danger
seemed far astern,

regretfully, “although it Is not an

*1 Shan endeavor to do so,” she w
turned, an increasing baldness in her
voice. “But I am Lady Darlington.”
“Your pardon; I supposed you to be
to learn if any
officers were hidden away here. I had
examined all the other staterooms,
finding them empty, and at last
opened this door in my guest Not
until I saw you did I in the slightest
realise that we were on board the
wrong vessel, nor that we were en-
gaged in anything except an honorable
adventure of war.”
That the hasty' details of my story
both startled her and impressed her
with its truth, was evident enough, yet
her lips curled with contempt, and

urged, with increased confidence, “yet

Shd did not appear to . know what
she had better do or say, her glance
wandering In uncertainty from my
face to the questioning eyes of the
maid. The latter leaned forward with
some eagerness.
“Surrey it is best to say oul, mad-
ame; se man has se look honorable,"
her hands gesticulating despair. "An*

silent acquiescence, and. still
them both, I backed out of the room

CHAPTER VIII.
—
In Which I Begin Discovery.
Stunned by this abrupt disclosure
of the extremely dangerous predica-
ment we were In, I found no immedi-
ate voice for reply, merely ‘standing
there as if petrified, staring at them
both, cap in hand, grasping the edge
of the door. Their faces swam before
me in the gray light streaming
through the stern ports; the maid al-
ready attempting a smile, as though
her eyes remained unbelieving.
, “How many men accompanied you?”
“A crew of 20, with two officers.”
“Peruvians, I presume?”
|| “No, madam,” reluctantly, ^‘hotch-
potch dragged from the seven seas.”
Her expressive face darkened, her
fingers clenching again nervously
about the chair back.
“And yon really expect me to be-
lieve that preposterous tale!” she*
burst forth, indignation shattering all
ordinary bounds of speech. ‘You
must, Indeed, think very highly of my
intelligence. You—why, yon are a
sea-robber, a pirate!”
My cheeks flushed at the harsh
words. I could feel the surge of blood,
yet I met her gase quietly.
“I have told you the exact truth,
Lady Darlington, as I promised,” I re-
turned, seeking to speak calmly, “with-
out any real hope that you would be-
lieve. Yet I pant you to try. It is
all bad enough as it stands, without
endeavoring to make it appear worse/*
She leaned slightly forward, clearly
impressed to some extent by the gravi-
ty of my manner.

“By steaming directly back to Val-
paraiso and delivering up this stolen
vessel to Its lawful owners.”
“That sounds simple enough, but

viewing me in wondering perplexity.
She .it was who first succeeded In
breaking the embarrassing silence.
“But, senor, what does this all
mean? Why are you here on board
the yacht?”
