With a horrified cry, Diana leaped ‘across the intervening space and graspâ€" ed one of the men by the collar in a vain attempt to pull him off. "Let him alone, you beasts! â€" you brutes!" she cried, tugging with all her . The latter twisted his arm round him, while the former kicked his legs from under him. Then, as he crashed neavily to the ground, the pistol was wrenthed from his grasp, and the two fellâ€"upon him, hitting and kicking in true hooligan fashion.

Becker prompted, calmly. *‘Well, what‘s your idea in bringing these men here, sir?" the Major burst out with sudden fury. "What did you {mean by assuring me that they could be trusted?" It was the girl who answered him "Don‘t you see, Daddy?" sihe said, in a clear, cold voice. ‘*"‘This man has been working with them all the time! _ He tricked you into. thinking he‘d been a friend of Uncle Tom, and persuaded you into taking this trip by making you beâ€" jlieve that Father Maloney was trying to. swindle us.

Lefty agreed; and he bellowâ€" ed the request into the distance. Diana was now kneeling beside her father‘s prone body, gazing anxiously down into his face. She had to admit that Becker was probably right in his diagnosts, â€" for she had been unable to find any traces of serious injury; butm itself this afforded her little consolaâ€" tion. Indeed, she would have been betâ€" tet off with some definite injury to atâ€" tend to,. for she felt completely helpless mthefaoeofmisunknownfaetor 1 She had paid no attention to what“ had been said between the two men, but he said. "He reckoned the boat wouldn‘t stand for the weight of the whole lot of itâ€"and us as well. He‘ll be right back." "That‘s what it is to: have brains!" ; She made no reply to this, and after staring at her patient for a moment, he went on: "If you ask me, I‘d say he‘s had something like a‘ stroke. That‘s the way he looks to me. There‘s noâ€" thing broken, is there?" "That‘s what it‘ll be then," he told her, with the satisfied air of a succesâ€" ful diagnostician. These ‘filery old cusses are liable to that kind of trouble anyway. Hello, Lefty? Back again already? Where‘s the boy friend?" The man had appeared on the ridge, and at the question, he jerked his thumb over his shoulder. â€""He‘s took that off to the launch," "I don‘t think so," she answered, almost against her will. "Well, he‘s lucky," he returned, mopâ€" ping his face with a large silk handker chief. "What did he expectâ€"playing a fool trick like that? You‘ve got to be reassonable about these things. He was pulling a gun on me, wasn‘t he? And anyway, if I hadn‘t called the boys off, they‘d have beaten him up to a "How‘s it coming?" he asked. ‘"He‘s not croacked this time, has he?" ‘She turned a. white, set face upon him for a moment. He saw that she had contrived to level the Major over on to his back, and having loosened his collar, was feeling carefully over his body to asâ€" certain his injuries. The unconscious man‘s eyes were closed, and his face had assumed an ugly leaden hue, but the only visible sign of damage was from a slight gash on the forehead, from which a thin trickle of blood was runâ€" ning down thrugh his scanty hair. _ "He‘s not dead â€" though that‘s no thanks to you and your fellow hooliâ€" gans!" she told him bitteryl. They staggered off under their burâ€" dens, and Becker stacked up the rest of the bags and then proceeded to gather up the spilled coins carefully and replace them in the bag he had kicked over. It took him some little time to accomplish this, but when he head finâ€" ised and tied the bag up again he squatted back on his hams with his face streaming with perspiration, and looked at the girl and her father. _ "Here you are!" he snid, looking up at them.
