Pre viously he had emptied it. It was rather a complicated thing, with an inner compartrrent over which was a hollow cover, opening along . one rim.

"That la what couldn't figure out to save my life," said Slade. ea gerly, "If you recollect, I told fu of the professor's plunge in tno cold spring, In a ort of paroxysm, otio day," said Darrow.

And the whole thickness ofa solid oak deck was in between tli iliv and th chest. "Oh, a little thing like an oak deck wouldn't interrupt the kind of rays the doctor usetf. He had his own method of screening, you, understand. However,' this inconsiderable guar dian affair must have used itself up, which true celestlum wouldn't have done.

Everything's peaceful un til they raise . the compound-filled hollow layer of the Inner cover, which serves to Interrupt the action. Then comes the general exit and the superior fireworks." 1 ! "That's when the rays ran through the ship," said Slade. "It; seemed to follow the deck-lines.' - -'' "The stuff had a strange affinity for tar," said Darrow. "I told you Of the circle of fire about ; Professor Schermerhorn's waist the day he gave me such a scare." That was the ce lestlum working on the tarred rope he wore for a belt. It made a livid circle on jiis skin. -.-Didn't I -fell you of hfa experiments with pitch? . It doesn't ma tter.i Where .was IT'..

"If that was the exhibition of radiance we saw, It died out In a few minutes. How was that? Did they close the chest before they ran?" '. , ' "Probably not" replied Darrow. "Slade spoke of Pulz taking to the maintop and being shaken out by the sudden shock of a wave. That may have been a volcanic billow. Whatever it was. It undoubtedly heel ed the ship sufficiently to bring down both Ilcjg. which were ratner aen cately balanced." "Yes, for. Billy Edwards found the chest closed and locked," . said Bar nett. - '- .

Probably they were paralysed al most before they struck ; the ? water, Your bos'n, whom Slade picked up, was the only one who had time even to grab a life preserver before the imDUlse toward water became ; lrre slstible. There was no ' element of fright, you understand; no desertion of their post. , They dragged as by the sweep of a tornado." Darrow spoke direct to Captain Parkinson. "I,f there is any feeling among you other than sorrow for their death, it IS unjust ahd unworthy." "Thank you, Mr. Darrow,' return- Led the captain quietly. "We round tne cnest cioswa again when the empty ship came back," observer Barnett. "Being masterless, the schooner began to yaw." continued Darrow. "The i first time she came about would have heeled her enough to shut tho chest. Now came the turn of your other men." "Ives and McGulre," said the cap tain1, as Darrow paused. "The glow came again that night, and the next day we picked up Slade," said Barnett. "You know what the glow meant for your companions." said Darrow. "But the ship. The Laughing Lass, man. She's vanished. No one has seen her since." "You are wrong there," said Dar. row. "I have seen her." In a common impulse the little circle leaned to ,hlm. "Yes, I have seen her. I wish I had not. Let me bring my story to the cave on the Island. After the volcanic gases had driven me to ref uge, I sat near to mouth of the cave Inoklng out Into the darkness. That whs tho night of the 7th, tha night ym saw the last glow, It was very dark, except for occasional bursts ot tire from the crater. Judge of my Incredulous smssement when, in an access of this Illumination, I saw plainly a schooner hardly a mile off shore, coming in under bare poles." 'Tndcr bare poles?" cried Slade. "The halliards must have disinte grated from some slow action of the celestlum. It could be destructive: terrifiically destructive. You shall Judge. There was the schooner, nak ed as your1 hand. Possibly I might have thought It a hallucination but for what came after. DaVkness fell again. I supposed then that Handy Solomon's crew were managing or mismanaglnff the Laughing Lass without the aid of their leader, whom I had satisfactorily burled. I hoped they would come ashore on the rocks. Yes I was vengeful . , , then. ' "Of a sudden there sprang from the darkness a ship of light. You have all seen those great electric ef f ects at expositions. . Someone touches a button . . . you know. It was like that Only that the piercingly brilliant Jeweled wender of ,a ship was 'set in the midst of. a swirl of varl-colored radiance such ns I can't begin to describe. You saw It from a distance, Imagine what It was, coming close upon you trnt way dead on, out of the night. A living glery, a living terror. , . ." His voice sank. With a, shaklug hand he fumbled amid his cigarette papers. - - , ' t "it came on. A human figure glowing like a diamond ablaze lean ed out from It; another shotldiwn from the foremast. I don't know how many I sa go. It -was like a theatric effect, unreal, unconvincing, incredible,.. The end mied it. Darrow's eye roved. It fell upon a quaintly modelled ship, hung above the door; "What's that?" he. cried. "Fool thlnt some i Malay . gavi nw." grunted Trendon. "P:tende 1 to he grateful because I cut hu lmi off.

He urged , us to be gene rous In our offerings not to be Ilka a certain mean old man from Hanni bal. " 'The meanest man I ever knew.' he said, 'lived In Hahlbald. He sold his son-in-law the half of a very fine cow, and then refused to share the milk with : the young fellow, on the ground that he had only sold him the front half. Tha- son-in-law was also compelled to furnish all of the cow'a fodder and carry water to her twice a day.
