Joan learnt* a divorce. Ranny hesitates, loving her, although secretly know ing she lopes Abner Gratman. Lacking proof that Joan is faith less he plans to trap her and Abner while they are all on a week-end cruise on the yacht of Stivner, a billionaire lumber king, whom Ranny cultivates for business rea -1 *oi«. Complications multiply. Clare, a widow, vamps Ranny. Stivner, loving Clare, resents Ranny’s in terest. Loyal to her marriage vows up to now, Joan feels Ranny’s flirt ing releases her. But he, tiring of Clare, is ready to spring his trap. CHAPTER X.—Continued The smoking room of the Speed well, though essentially masculine in tone, was no less beautiful than any other part of that most magni ficent of yachts. In an open fireplace at one end of the room real logs burned. The mantel was wrought out of the oake rib of antique sailing ship, and upon it rested a meticulously pieced model, hand carved by Cap tain Marty, of the clipper his father used' to command in the China trade during Maine’s marltihe hey day. The walls of the roo® were rich ly pdnellad in .'walnut, with tiny sconce lamps In the form of ship's lanterns 'set on each pilaster. The celling was deeply beamed, also in walnut. The whole interior was r'aar Out stepped Mrs. Clare Clcmoneau. highly polished to a mtrror-Ijke fin ish that reflected the dancing log flames through the miniature fog diffused from the cigars of the smokers, who weTe half buried in the comfortable furniture, which was sumptuously upholstered in warm toned leather. By and la,rge it was an ideal I place to lounge, la fair weather as well as foul. Ranny and Clay, however, were not in the mood tor lounging. They had work to do—grim work. As soon as they could do so with out attracting undue attention they slipped out of the smoking room. The Speedwell was so arranged that most of the living rooms and the owner’s apartment were one deck below the bridge superstruc ture —half a deck down, tp be ex act, from the lounge and main promenade—while the guest state rooms ranged along the forward three-quarter of the deck below. Aft of these were the crew quar ters, and In the hold, still lower, ■were the engine room, the bunkers and the other necessary though un lovely portions of a great sea going private yacht Ranny and Clay were thus able to - make their way down to the Forbes’ suite without venturing upon the deck, where they might have encountered Abner end Joan, i They did not want to see that pre cious cad and his misguided con sort—just yet! After assuring themselves that Joan and lAbner were not in the suite, nor spooning upon the pri vate aandeck, Clay locked the sit ting room door to the passageway while Ranny hastily fetched from his cabin a small package. the plotters untied, tlielr expressions an odd mixture of cru sading severity and skylarking. Opened, it .revealed a bicycle bell attached to a length of electric hupp cord, some miscellaneous non insuiated wire* and springs and a small biscuit bpx. Like field generals planning a ba|Jl;*; Clay and Ranny surveyed the suite. Specifically, it consisted or a'sitting room, off which opened trio, separate staterooms, and the private auAdack. These, added to tie main door opening to the cor ! ridbr and the trio doors opening : into elosets. mada .six apettures in . tih-wal] space besides the double | -window. The wall schema, how ! or*r, was,so cunningly devised that j tiare seemed to be onlyAftWe doors -4ha*e to the closets «nfi the hall. The other opining* rioto really IMet panels, which slid mlrtcn- -<■»«»■» " This, Indeed, was charming, wlrp fjirnitttre of beech wood, Louis XVI ■ in atmosphere, walls in putty grey and the curtains and upholstery o! rose-crimson silk. The private staterooms were alike in c.harac ter, but different In tone, Rauny'« In tan and rose English chintz Joan’s with apricot and saa-gvee.i taffeta drapes. In each cabin wai a single berth, high set over a ban;, of drawers, and a built-in dreasei and mirror, and each had a com pact though luxurious bathroom. Joan’s cabin was od the outside . her porthble opening on the sun , deck. “Now," decided Ranny, "the twe r closets are the key. With escape cut oft to either the sundeck or through the corridor, he’ll have hide. Ho won't dare go into Joan . . room nor into mine. There are a< , beds to crawl under! lie’ll have to duck into one of the closets. W< . can't wire both, so I'll lock onp unf take the key. That'll limit him to the one we shall trap.” i Without further ado Ranny lock , ed one of the closets. Then, while Clay stood guard a! ’ the corridor door to listen for Coat steps. Ranny worked at top speed , to set tile “rat trap," as he called it more grimly than facetiously. . The bicycle bell and its improvised attachments, prepared before b« left iomp, ko concealed on a high ’ shelf, fastening it- a small ad justable spring to the dear cad run | ning tho wire out under the chrpet 1 to a baseboard plug. At longth he finished and explain -1 ed with a grin to Clay, who bad watched tpe proceedings with in terest. "I'll leave the door a bit ajar. When Abner dodges into tho closet his Instinct will be to close '{he door after him, of course. Then— the bell will ring Incessantly! Finl I’amour!" The iwo arch plotters stood In tho center of tjie room, relishing the prospect. "Now," said Clay, “there’s only one thing we haven’t thought or.” “What’s that?” "Well, after all. this is Stivger’s yacht, lie's entitled to know what we’re up to, for he could thwart our plan to punish Abner if he’s so minded. Besides, taking him Into your confidence will serve to ingra tiate you into his friendship and make up what you’ve lost In his estimation by your dumphoolery with that blonde." Ranny agreed, aud presently Stivner was seated In the Forbes’ suite listening with amazement to ] the unvarnished tale. It was a pa- j thetlc confession, coming clean breasted from a two-listed fighting man. In Ranny's straightforward manliness Stivner, who knew how hard the telling was, found much to renew his admiration. Thera remained but one suspicion: ‘•For an abused husband you've been rather—er-r, flirtatious!” Ranny's frankness never falter ed. “Only as a means to an end. Mrs. Clcmoneau means nothing to me, 1 swear!” "Forbes, 1 believe lu you and I'm going to help you. Any man who steals another’s wife—or woman— deserves to be punished. What's your plan for punishing Cratman?" After Ranuy explained Stivner found himself sharing the conspira tors’ glee. “That's rich! Only— we’ll have to take Captain Marty into the scheme because It invades bis sphere of authority.” •Stivner summoned the captain. The matter was reviewed for the doughty seadog’s benefit. Then Ranny explained: “As a fitting humiliation, 1 pr> pose to isolate (Jrattnau in a dory to he towed behind the yacht until we get back __to port on Monday, shutting him'off meanwhile like the morel leper he is from the oth er guests aud from all food except ; these crackers!" “You needn’t have brought that box of crackers,” Captain Marty rumbled. "We've plenty of hard tack 1 ’’ "Yes. but not this special kind!* "What’s that?” “DOC BISCUITS!” CHAPTER XI The nocturnal quietude of the sleepjDg yacht, an hour after mid night, was rudely disturbed by a • man’s angry yells and tho persist ■ eut ringing of a bell. Aroused guests, scantily clad, I crowded after Stivner to the : Forbes' suite. There they found a - strange tableau: i Clay and the captain framed ,tn the sundeck door; Joan, white i laced and trembling, in the center I of the room staring attrightedly at l tho closed closet, within which a I bell clanged madly, Ranny, the per > feet picture of a cheated husband, ) glowering over her. • “What does this mean?" demand- I ed Stivner as per his rehearsed > part, s "It means that a home wrecker • has been caught!”-thundered Ran t ny.
