The chase became grotesquely like a rugby match, with the forwards making for touch, and the home backs unmindâ€" ful how they tackled, providing a score was prevented. Hugh was in agony from cramp in his side. Every panting breath brought searing pain. ‘"I‘m doneâ€"I‘m doneâ€"I‘m done." he reiterated. Helping hands were under elbows. "Leave me," he gasped. All he wanted was to be allowed to lie down with knees doubled up. Death and oblivion would be welcome relief from the cramp which tied his internal organs into knots. Half supported, half impelled, he found himself shoved through the opened _ door. Mason and Jessop slaimmed it shut , drew the bolts and piled furniture against the stout panels. "We run yes?" Ellendorf said, as they reached the level appxoachcs to the house. ‘"‘Lead on!" Deprived of the thrill of combat, Hugh knew what it was to be afraid. All the ingredients of a nightmare were contained in those minutes of panic flighnt. Martin tripped. No, he was up again, swearing dreadfully.. Ellendorf emptied his automatic, snatched Hugh‘s and winged one of the pursuers. \Langdon Langdon * ‘"Teeling better?" Muriel asked, applyâ€" ing all her attention to Hugh. There is a grimness about a peaceâ€" lover driven to fighting. A man slow to enger makes a pow;rful opponent when he is roused. Now that trouble had invaded Hugh Everard‘s retreat he was filled with righteous indignation. His last objection to fighting disaâ€" peared as he clubbed a stocky opponent with the butt end of his automatic. This was adventure fullâ€"blooded and primitive. Hugh found it thrilling. Ellendorf and Martin fought with equal ferocity. Pressure relaxed, but more imen were running to head them off. Through the gap beaten in the opposing ranks. the queer allies went with unhurrig ace. Whining bullets missed them by inches.

"The lieutenant assures me that his men are likely to clear off in the subâ€" marine shortly. ‘Can‘t say what is the basis of his assumption, but he should be able to judge. They‘re not very keen on rushinig us. I suppose they anticiâ€" pate heavy losses if they do!" FLAG OF TRUCE Twenty minutes later a single man approached waving a white handkerâ€" chief. Only Ellendorf understood his coarse dialect, though Hugh, who had a slight acquaintance with German, made out sufficient to know that the crew were prepared to come to terms with their commander on conditions which he declined to accept. ‘"‘They are not to be relied on," he remarked, taking it for granted that the parley had been intelligible. "What was the idea?" Mason inquired. "That I navigate the submarine to a neutral port. Ach I might as well be frank. We have turned this war to our own ends.

Auditing Empire Block Experience prompted acquiescence in the bargain,though there were mental reservations. Personally Hugh did not absolve him from being implicated in the killing. Ellendorf had a smooth tongue, but always his eyes gave him away as cruel, shifty and as unreliable as he had condemned his erstwhile followers to be. Ambrose _ Martin remained . aloof. Since he had revealed his spitefulness after the second abortive attempt to escape from Ovarn and [Ellendorf had curbed his venomous mouth the reneâ€" zade had had virtually no connexion with his fellow countrymen. Hugh drily pointed out that the old days were past and piracy, as a profesâ€" sion, was outâ€"moded until Ellendorf had accomplished the incredible by reâ€" viving it in the middle of the 20th century. "THEY ARE SAVAGES" From other details supplicd they learned that two or three officers and men who had objected to the piratical adventure had been dumped overboard. "It was my crew," he made excuses. "They are savages. I warn you against being murdered." "Bitte sehr!‘"‘ He took it as a comâ€" pliment. "Their appetite is whetted on rich Joot. . They quarrel over it and try to kiX their captain. TI, who led them to fat treasure chests. Swine! In the old days the ringleaders would hang at the yardâ€"arm." However, he had his merits. The mutineers were not disposed to leave the garrison â€" unmolested. Several attacks were made, all of them being beaten off. The most severe developed in the afternoon of the third day of siege. MHeavy fire had been opened as preparation for a concentrated rush, during which casualties were sustained by the enemy. Martin received a glancâ€" ing blow on the cranium which knocked him unconscious. He came to with Muriel bathing the wounds. "I held you so!" Ellendorf continued, pressing forefinger against thnmb. "That doesn‘t apply now." "What alternative have you? Two of my pistols are in your possesion. If we fight it out inside this building much damage will be done. I do not value my own skin." ‘"Suppose we overcome you?" "sSuppose you do. Afterwards my mutinous crew make short work of the survivors. They are not gentlemen." "Like their gallant commander," Muriel said bitingly. "It‘s kind of you," he murmured, almost graciously. "Lie still," she commanded. ‘"The excitement has subsided." "I was afraid they had us licked." "Not likely, Mr. Martin. So long as we hang together they‘ll not defeat us." ‘"Don‘t use that word," he implored, shudderingly. "Which?" x "Hanged. That‘s what T‘m threaâ€" tened with. Taken out on a cold grey morning and strung up by the neck. You ought to hate meâ€"a good woman like you." His gratitude disappeared as he reâ€" covered, but there was no denying that he acquitted himself well whenever there was fighting to be done, and he was among the first to volunteer to carry waterâ€"â€"one of the biggest proâ€" blems. Ellendorf smiled. "There are two on the submarine, imy friend. I bring away small parts. Very light, yet imâ€" portant. . Were my men ingenious they could be very dangerous. In their place I should sail round the island and shell the house." "A machineâ€"gun would have wiped us out," Mason once remarked. "Lucky your chaps haven‘t one." "H‘m! I hope your secum haven‘t the same idea in mind?" ‘"They are too cowardly. Navigation is diffult. T am missed. Hans Braun is the only man with intelligence." "What stops him taking charge?" "This." The lieutenant tapped his automatic. . "I‘ specially shoot Braun." There was a glimpse of his calculatâ€" ing mind in the ability to make a dead set at the keyâ€"man in the very midst of battle. Using them as temporary allies was merely another instance of his opportunism. The truly remarkable thing was that he was the one person who held the party together. "Everything is simplified by war conâ€" ditions. Your authorities do not tell what Uâ€"boats they sink;our Governâ€" ment has to trust us Between them we are able to do as we like. Our Government very kindly established a cache of petrol ofl, and food in readiâ€" ness." ‘"Where?" "Ah, I do not reveal all my sccxct.s Herr Mason." ‘"Why disclose so much?" "Adversity makes strange companâ€" ions. as your proverb says. T offer an armistice." "That‘s cool!" "It is good for us all. Your captivity is at an end!" ‘‘Thanks for nothing!" "But, Herr Mason, it is something. Do not forget that I could have wiped you out any time during the past weeks." "Saved a lot of trouble," Ambrose Martin grunted. Ambrose Marin was a nonentity. Hugh, the Masons and Jessop formed a major bloc, but Ellendor{ welded them into a single unit, to be swayed as he willed. His masterful personality had dominated the submarine crew with similarly easy confidence,. Rogues in the highest grade require qualities that would make them successful in "HMorrifying is it not? â€" But I am more considerate than the officers who obey the adiniral. They sink at sight, whereas I am a sentimentalist. It is a pleasure to be held up by Baldur von Ellendorf! I read many books about your English buccancers and model myself on them." "And how have you managed to get away with it?" THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, ONTARIO All his misgivings were increased when he roused from a fumbled sleep to see the man standing over his bed, holding something wnich had a steély glitter. Hugh brought to light the code mesâ€" sage. "He set this adrift in a bottle and I got hold of it later." ‘"May I see it?" He transcribed the letter expediâ€" tiously. ‘"Ach, so! All our plans went astray ibecause I did not get â€"it. Mr. Mallow did not deal with you as proâ€" mised, h‘n!" "Lack of opportunity. not desire," Hugh remarked. "Such is fate, my friend." Ambrose Mallow became objectionâ€" ably surly. Hugh suspected him of doing as he had threatened in the code message. ‘Am making plans to deal with him" had a vicious ring. Ellendorf roared with laughter. "You again!" he exclaimed. "Always you are in my way, but I bear no malice. A thousand pities T didn‘t have coâ€"operaâ€" tion from you instead of from Mallow, known to you as Martin." ‘"We‘re aware of his identity." "I am not surprised at anything you know." "What are you doing?" Hugh snapped, springing to his feet. "Nothing!" "With my razor?" "Mine is a safety and I used my last blade. Thought you wouldn‘t mind my borrowing yours." "T‘d somscthing up my sleeve," he admitted. . "Getting together a suitâ€" able crew was difficult, and war was brewing by the time I had finished preparations. In a way it helped, except the seas got thick with warships. Still, we weren‘t doing too badly until â€"the mutiny." "Do you usually shave in the middle of the night?" "Why not? T can do it in the dark." "Sit down, Ambrosc," Hugh said softy. "What you need is a barber. Steady!" Hugh fumbled in his breast pocket and silently produced the diamond pendant taken from the cave on the lion rock. "One Kirkland motorist, A. Neilson, 31 Wood Street, will never loan his car again, especially to someone he does not know. Neilson met Leo Cardinal, on a visit to Kirkland Lake, and loanâ€" ed him his car on the morning of April 28. The next thing he learned of his car and the man he loaned it too was when police visited him to check up on an accident that occurred near Vilo‘s store, Chaput Hughes. Neilson learned his car struck a sawing machâ€" ine, owned by Bill Cochrane,. and furâ€" ther that it has sustained around $300 in damages. The sawing machine did not suffer too badly in the encounter. Now police are loooking for Cardinal who departed for points unknown." He lathered Martin with washing soap and cold water scraped his chin roughly, and felt that it was a small revenge for attempted murder, though the victim‘s groans suggested that a mediacval torture chamber had little more painful to offer. Two men in the New Horne Grill at Rouyn refused to leave the cafe when â€"requested by the manageâ€" ment and so the police were sent for. One of the men by this time had got out in front of the Grill and he waited till the police entered the eating place and then he used the police car to make his escape. He abandoned the car about 14 mies up the Macamic road when it took the ditch. In police court last week at Rouyon he was senâ€" tenced to one year in jail for the theft of the car. The other laddybuck was tough, too, and resisted arrest. . He was given fifteen days in jail for his conduct, or lack of conduct. in the cafe, and one month in jail for resisting arrest. Political prejudices did not prevent opportunist from pulling strings to obtain a naval commission. Last week The Northern News of Kirkland Lake had a story Of a man who loaned his car to a gentleman he hardly knew, and the next thing the Kirkland man knew he hardly knew his own car. The story is told like this by the Kirkland Lake newspaper:â€" Nazi rioting found Ellendorf back in Germany. "Brown shirts, pfuil" he sneered. _ "Freebooting is squareâ€"dealâ€" ing against those unprincipled scounâ€" drels. I was soon sick of the perfidious crooks." Hugh concluded he would never have a clearer exposition of a pot calling the kettle black than Ellendorf{ condemnâ€" ing his associates. Stole Police Car to Make Escape from the Police Much of his service had been aboard British vessels where he acquired a knowledge of English in addition to a veneer of sportsmanship. Gunâ€"runnâ€" ing, hiâ€"jJacking, an internventionist in minor wars or revolutions, he was reâ€" cognized as a stormy petrel wherever saillors of fortune gathered. other walks of life. Eliendorf chose crime. "I ran away to sea," he said,. ‘"The life appealed to me. Moneyâ€"making is tiresome. I did not seek it as a pirate. Give me danger!" Bormn duting the first world war, his parents had suffered in the financial collapse. Nevertheless they saw to his education and looked forward to his rehabilitating the family. Loaned Car to Stranger Auto was Almost Wrecked ELLENDORES.. .CAREER They were regaled with fragments of his history, related with all the aplomb a conventional person would apply to a story of honest endeavour.
