Then the torchâ€"light found and steadied upon the mouth of the comâ€" panionway. Against that glare, a burly figure was instantanecously re lieved, running up to the deck. As it gained the topmost step a final reâ€" rt sounded in the saloon, and the &:‘o checked, revolved slowly on a tottered, and plunged headforeâ€" most down the steps again. A moment later the lights came on, and Lanyard went below. _ On the opposite side of the saloon Monk lay with purple fage and proâ€" truding eyeballs, far gone toward It might have been the signal for *the first piercing scream of Liane Deâ€" lorme. A pistol shot with a vicious accent cut short the scream. After a brief pause several more shots rippled ia the saloon. The next instant, however, he was on his feet again. A beam of light had swept across the saloon skylight, coming from below, the beam of a portable electric torch. Guiding himself by a hand that lightly touched the rail, Lanyard reâ€" gained his chair, carefully composing himself in the position in which he had been resting when the lights went out. the forward deck like a bag of sugar. Immediately Lanyard turned to the binnacle. Thrusting a hand into the opening, Lanyard groped for the adjustable magnets in their racks, and one by one removed and dropped them to the grating at the foot of the binâ€" nacle. The compass ought now to be just as constant to the magnetic pole as a hummingâ€"bird to one especial rose. The fellow offered barely a show of opposition. Swung bodily away from the whecl!, he went over the rail to "THE _MONTALAIS JEWELS ARE HERE." CHAPTER XXI. THE TRAP 18 SPRUNG.

"I mean that you, knowing I have but one object, to wit, the recovery of the jewels of Madame de Montaâ€" lais, have not had sufficient wit to prevent my securing those jewels under your very noses." "You mean to say you‘ve stolen them?" Lanyard slowly inclined his head: "E refmt I must beg to be excused." A look of fury convulsed Liane‘s face. Phinuit, too, was glaring, no longer a humorist. Monk‘s mouth was working, and his eyebrows had got out of hand altogether. you "Come through," Phinuit advised in a dangerous voice. "Just what do "Arâ€"har!" he murmuredâ€"‘"the faâ€" tal hour!" Lanyard gave him a gracious smile. In attenuated accepts Captain Monk inquired : "What say, Phin?" "The dear man promised to turn in his answer to our unselfish little proposition at six bells toâ€"night and not later." Between roars of the fog signal, six bells vibrated on the air. Phinuit looked brightly to Lanyard. _ _ From the saloon came sounds of shuffiing feet and mumbling voices as seamen carried away all that was mortal of Monsieur Popinot. _ Monk, stretched out upon a leather couch in his sitting room, leveled eyeâ€" brows of suspicion at Lanyard. C So this was the source of Mr. Musâ€" sey‘s exact understanding of the busiâ€" ness! Lanyard entertained for a moment a vivid imaginary picture of the scene in the saloon when Phinuit had surâ€" prised the Apache in the act of strangling Monk. One saw the garroter creeping from his hiding place in the cabin of the chicf engineer; stationing himself at the door to Monk‘s quarters, with that deadly handkerchief of his trade, ready for the throat of the Lone Wolf when he should emerge with the spoils of the captain‘s safe in his hands. Then one saw Monk, alarmed by the sudden failure of the lights, hurâ€" rying out to return to the bridge, the pantherish spring upon the victim‘s back, the swift, dextrous noosing of the handkerchief about his windpipe, the merciless tightening of itâ€"all abruptly illuminated by the white glare of Phinuit‘s electric torch. Lanyard adopted the sensible sugâ€" gestion of Phinuit. To his complete satisfaction no flutter of life was to be detected in that barrelâ€"like chest. As to the question of how the Apache had been smuggled aboard, and when, Lanyard never learned the truth. ‘death through strangulation. Phinuit, on his knees, was removing a silk handkerchief that had been twisted about that scrawny throat. At the foot of the companionway steps, Popinot, no phantom but the veritable Apache himself, was writhâ€" ing and heaving convulsively; and even as Lanyard looked, the huge body of the creature lifted from the :flcor in one last, heroic spasm, then collapsed, and moved no more. "I‘m a shy, retiring violet," he stated somewhat superfluously, "but if the world will kindly lend its ears, I‘ll inform it coyly that was some shootin‘. Have a look, will you, Lanâ€" yard, like a good fellow, and make sure our little friend over there isn‘t playing ‘possum on us." "There!" he saidâ€"‘"thats over, Liâ€" ane. The beast is done for. Now forâ€" get himâ€"and realize the debt you owe good Monsieur Phinuit." With a grin, that gentleman looked up from his efforts to revive Captain Monk. Lanyard stepped across the dead bulk of the Apache and planted himâ€" self squarely in front of the woman. Seizing her forearms with his two hands, he used force to drag them down to the level of her waist, and purposely made his grasp so strong that his fingers sank deep into the soft fiesh. Vicwing this hideous tableau, apâ€" preciating what it meantâ€"that Popiâ€" not, forearmed with advice from a trusted quarter, had stationed himâ€" self outside the door to Monk‘s stateâ€" room, to waylay and garotte the man whom he expected to emerge thereâ€" from laden with the plunder of Mon‘s safeâ€"Lanyard appreciated further that he had done Mr. Mussey a great wrong. For he had all the time believed that the chief engineer was laying a trap for him on behalf of his ancient shipmate, Captain Whitaker Monk. 999 the struggle for really Detnocratic Government went on until a scheme evolved in the minds of farâ€"seeing statesmen. The British North America Act was passed in 1867 and four provâ€" inces, Quebec, Ontario, Nova Scotia and New Brunswick were united urder the name of Canada. From that time on the growth of our country has been almost miraculous. At the time of Conâ€" federation the pqpulation was about three and a halft millions. On this our Sixtieth Anniversary there are more than nine and a half million people, The populetion has been almost tripled in little more than haif a century. The Constitutional Act did not end : the struggle for selfâ€"government, in | 1837 a rebellion broke out in both: Upper and Lower Canada. This was easily. put down but it had the desired | effect of arousing the British Govâ€"; ernment to the needs of Canada and,| on the advice of Lord Durham the| Union Act was passed in 1840., Still| Grudgingly the unbroken forests gave way to tiny clearings. By slow degrees good waggon roads were built and schools and churches were opened up. These were few and far between and many people grew up with only the rudiments of education. Large numbers could not even read or write. Toâ€"day there are fine school systems in all the provinces and education is free to every one. to their agitation the Constitutional Act, which gave a measure of selfâ€" government, was paseed in 1791. potic as it was during the French regime. The "new subjects" as the French Canadians were called were well satisfied with this system, having known nothing better; but the "old subjects" complained continually, for they had abrolutely no share in the government, However, with the Loyalists there came a change.

Toâ€"day she occupies more than half a continent. It has been said that she covers so much surâ€" fce that all the climates of Europe are found within her borders. True, only a narrow strip along the southern edge has been brought under cultivation but each year this strip grows wider and wider.
