There could be no evasion. But now he found himself mistaken and his ocouportunity thrust upon him, for five minutes later he learned that he was going ashore by himself, with nothâ€" ing but a lie between him and sole posâ€" session of his great grandfather‘s secret hoard. So dfate dGdecreed and Felice fought no more, but saw destiny and promise of the greatest good to the greatest number, even though he could never share the fruit of his own wellâ€" doing. Angus began it. "Personally I don‘t leave the Iguana agzain for anything on this earth," hs said. "You can tell me what you please my dear fellow, and you can take my share of the booty. I‘ve seen all I want to see of Table Top and I‘ve got poison gas in my lungs at this minute. Nothâ€" ing on earth will induce me to go ashore againâ€"cowardly thouzh it may sound.

"Well, Costa is fed up and who shall blam> him?" he> began. "I‘ve told him of the morning‘s work and he‘s exceedâ€" ingly keen to be gone. The glass is standing on its head and the weather‘s changing. He won‘t endur? much "Tom is in command not Casta," said Pardo. "There are changes at hand without a doubt. The sea begins to get up, but there is time. I do not think the work will be hard. Benny Boss was only caoncerned to make his treasure safe, It may even not be underground at all, but hidden in the cairn that Anâ€" gus saw." Then vanished PFelice‘s last hope and he knew the cup was not destined to be taken from his lips. The deed that he at once desired and hated had lookâ€" "That‘s all right,"" admitted her sweetheart, "but there‘s another side to it, Jane. We haven‘t come all this way to be shooed off our lawful occasions by an abnormal race of insects. That‘s how I feel and no doubt that‘s how Felice feels." "I‘m much too tired to argue," she answered, "but I never was more deterâ€" mined about anything in my life. You know I‘m not fanciful, or feeble conâ€" cerning facts in general, Tom; but I am quite possible that it would be a desâ€" perately foolish deed to go back. Nothâ€" ing turns upon it but moneyâ€"that‘s the plain English of the situation. We don‘t care two straws awabout Benny‘s treasure from a romantic point of view â€"only what it may be worth. I know it would be a terrible mistake to try again and I beg you won‘t. "You‘ve got your tail downâ€"very naturally," said Tom. "Go to sleep now, Jane, and T‘ll bring you some tea in an hour or so." "There‘s always sea room,", argued Pardo, *"*What can happen if the island Iblew up?" "T‘ll tell you if you don‘t know," anâ€" swered the other. "If we‘ve just arâ€" rived, by some grisly miracle, to be in at the death of Table Top, two things would happenâ€"a downfall of ashes out of the sky, such as overwhelmed Pomâ€" peii, and a tidal wave such as has often overwhelmed whole cities, let alone cockleshells like this boat. If the isâ€" land were to blow up and sink, the marâ€" ine conditions foo a few hundred miles round the sceene don‘t bear thinking about for anybody who wants to go on living." "Promise then," «lw> bade him. "Promise me faithfully, on your word of honour, that you won‘t go ashore azain, then I shall sleep, but not until CHAPTER XII PERIL IN TROPIC SEAS The lovers entered into a somewhat lively argument and feeling themselves powerless to solve their problem for them, Angus and Felice withdrew. On deck the Sceot defined the position. "We may rezard curselves as having paired on this motion, he said. . "You were going back, of course, but I was entirely upon the side of Jane. I think she‘s dead right. It isn‘t only the spiâ€" ders. I‘m looking a lot deeper than the spiders. I believe most surely that we‘re on the verge of a tremendous upâ€" hcaval here. The time is ripe for it and everything points to the possibility We know that earthquake is threatenâ€" ing the mainland. ‘The glass is goin: mad and the heat ashore no doubt inâ€" creasing. We ought to he steaming nonth or south, for all we are worth instead of lying alongside this danget zone asking for it." They argued for another ten minutes and then Aylmer joined them. He was looking blank and considerably cast down. "There‘s plenty of time," answered Felice. "A place this size isn‘t going to be sunk without trace in five minâ€" utes. Tom and I can row ashore, get the cairn and rifle it in an hour of two at most. Then we can clear out and steam away as quickly as Costa chooses." vyou do "Oughtn‘ to have brougt Jane," h2 said. "but you know, she would come, In fact the expedition was her idea, wasn‘t it, Angus?" "And she won‘t now. For will power she hasn‘t got an equal, and as a reâ€" sult I‘m in the soup. In fact I don‘t know how to tell you, Pardo." Felice‘s heart rose. He guessed at the nature of the other‘s experience and knew his course was becoming clear. The hand of providence had worked for him. It remained only to set his own hand to the task ahnead. "I think I can understand withouth being told," he answered. "I knew it was inevitable when I left her just now she has made it a personal matter, Tom Nobcdy can blame her for that." "Absolutely, my dear chap. Jane would not take any denial." "She won‘t listen to reason." confessâ€" ed Aylmer. "It is you who won‘t listen to reason," argued Maine. *"Jane‘s absolutely right. the risk far outweighs any possible gain. I‘ve told Pardo so." "I trisa to show her what a worm she was making me," continued Tom. 1 tried ‘to shame her, and it‘s all mysâ€" terious because for a girl like Jane to show the white feather seems a contraâ€" diction in terms.‘ "It‘s not the white feather," declared Angus. "It‘s stark superiority of inâ€" tellect. You couldn‘t funk Jane. Sh: laugshed about the spiders as soon as she recovered consciousnessâ€"you told us so. She locks ahead, as I do, and knows that it‘s playing with precious lives to go back there. And as your life happens to be more precious to her than anything else on earth, she wants to keep it in your body." "If I go back, she can‘t prevent it, of course; but she can prevent something else, She‘s quite calm and kept her nerve better than I did as a matter of fast. But if I go back, then she won‘t marry me, the argument being that I put my personatl pride and vanity and self respect, and so on before my afâ€" fection for her." "Perfectly reasonable," declared Anâ€" gus. "And perfectly true." "What did you tell her?" asked Parâ€" Well you see what a dilemma I was in, Jane had the aotdIMfajscmnel in. Jane had a hell of a day, and who was I to preach about my duty to you chaps with her lying there looking lik> an obstinate but utterly washedopt rag? â€" She knows that Angus is on her side, and she knows that I don‘t care a button about the treasure myâ€" self, so it‘s merely a question of you, Pardo. I said that I‘d speak to you and see her azain in five minutes." "See her again at once and put her out of her misery," said Felice. "I will go alone. Destiny determines our afâ€" fairs and destiny has done a right and just thing." "You mean it?" "Yes, Tom." "It seems so feeble and wrong." "As far as I‘m concerned T‘d like to say this," put in Angus, "I‘ve been thinking rather hard. It‘s very well known that you can‘t have your cake and eat it, too. I set my peatre of mind and of limb much higher than my fourth part of the treasure, and I hand it over here and now to Pelice. But at the same time I beg him heart and soul, forâ€" his own sakeâ€"and perâ€" haps for oursâ€"not to lag again. I want to be out of sight of Table Top before dark." "Chuck it, Felice," urged Tom.â€" "I‘m not saying that to save my own face But is it good enough?" "We must obey our demons," answerâ€" ed Pardo. "Every man has a demon, and only those who obey their demons enjoy peace of mind, whether of good or evil,. The good man is miserable when he does ill, because he has a good deâ€" mon; the evil man is miserable when he is being harmless and grazing with the herd, because his demon is evil. We people have good demonsâ€"all of us. Maine‘s demon wills that I have his portion of the treasure if I can get it. This means a great deal more to me than the treasure, because imy demon ""Jan> actually said she would rather a million times give up her interest than ~should go," said Tom. ‘"‘She doesn‘t care twpencs about Benny‘s treasure. More do I. The snag is to fe2l that by giving you the lot, it will only make you the more determined to #go and get it, Felice." "By giving me the lot," answered Parâ€" do, " you give me what is better than any treasure on earth. You give me such peace of mind as I have not known since I was a grown man. You do not understand that, and there is no reascn why you should. All you need do is believe it." I ) \ l l "Well, don‘t go mad any way, dear fellow," replied Tom. ‘"We can‘t preâ€" tend to say what you‘re talking about exactly. But the treasure is yours, and if it‘s a moral problem and the knowâ€" ledge that it is yours ibrings any sort of moral comfort, won‘t that content you? It Tsn‘t as if you wanted the blessâ€" ed treasure yourself. Your future is wrapped up with ming and you needn‘t worry as to that. I don‘t say this any more than I spoke just nowâ€"to save my wrotten faceâ€"but just on the chance that you‘ll see what a lot of differense it will make to my moral comfort if you climb down, too, and don‘t go ashore again."‘ But Pardo shook his head. "Li»t our demons do as they will with us," he answered. "I am armed nowâ€" armed with such mighty weapons tfhatl not the powers of hell would make me fear. All is well with me, and I have! been given a glance into the future deâ€" nied to most men." * ‘Angus spoke. "We could exert force, Paxdo he said, and I‘m not too sure whether we ought not to do it. If we told Costa that your mind was a bit clouded, as the result of what happened this mornâ€" ing, and we felt for your safety, you cught to be put under restraint, he would jolly soon keep you aboardtâ€"and be thankful. He‘s fretting like mad to him and departure but yourself." Felice gave one of his rare laughs. "No, no," he answered and put his right hand to his left armpit. _ "You would not do that, because it would ‘go, and now nothing stands between mzean the shedding of blood, Angus. My little spiderâ€"killed is loaded. I | would mot shoot any man upon this ship save one; but if you stood between me and my treasureâ€"mingâ€"all mine nowâ€"then I would shoot myself." and I matter PARDO WANTS THE LOT They stared at this singular remark. "If you must go, you must," said Anâ€" gus, "but don‘t let my quarter of the swag decide you. I shouldn‘t like to feel I was responsible for a crash, old j "Go to it then, and be done with it," said Tom. â€" "Get it over Felice, and let us have peaceâ€"with dishonour." "There is no dishonour for any of us," answered the other. "The sea is safe still, and I will be very quick. Tell Jane how it is to be. and let Costa know that he shall set sail before sunset. All is ended before we go to our evening meals; my demon tells me so." He hastened away and called for food. Then, after he had eaten, he made his preparations carrying only his bag with him and a mattock in it. He armed himself heavily ; but no premoniâ€" tion of peril dimmed his high spirits.

They watched him from the deck in silence until he landed, â€"turned and waved to them, then disappeared ‘into the cleft. For a moment it seemed that something strange confronted him for he stood, lifted his feet and examined the black earth beneath them. But the discovery rather hastened than deâ€" terred his actions, and he was swiftly gone.

Missing when Mr. and Mrs. Mascioli returned to their home at 43 Second avenue, were two diamond rings, a diamond set watch valued at $75, two brooches and two bracelets, a cameo ring and two cameo stones, a chain and locket and a very old string of pearls. As well as for its intrinsic value the jewellery is prized by Mrs. Mascioli for sentimental reasons, Many of the pieces have been for years in her family and were given to her by her mother. Large Roll of Bills in Plain View Not Touched by Jewel Thief Who Made Entry by Means of Rear Screen Door on Monday Evening. _ Police Believe Was someone Familiar With Layâ€"out of House. Tracked Directly to Where Jewels Were. Ignoring a large roll cf bills in the same drawer and in plain view, a thief broke into the home of John Mascioli on Monday night and stole severa‘ hundred dollars worth of jewellery, the property of Mrs. Mascioli. Entry was made some time between 945 p.m. and 1045 p.m. Mr. and Mrs, Mascioli left the house at 9.45 pm. and returned on hour and ten minutes later,. It was some time between those hours when the burglary occurred. Aithough puzzled by the thiet‘s refusal to take the money, police are inclined to believe that he was some person familiar with the layout of the house. Fresh dirt on his shcoes make tracks directly from the door to the bedroom where the jewellery was kept in an upper dresser drawer, The fact that the thief apparently knew exactly where to go strengthens the convicâ€" tion in the minds of police, The jewellery was in a case and not all that the case contained was stolen, Only certain pieces were selected.
