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

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

The other opining* rioto really

This, Indeed, was charming, wlrp

■ 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

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

we get back __to port on Monday,
shutting him'off meanwhile like
the morel leper he is from the oth

“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

) glowering over her.
• “What does this mean?" demand-

s "It means that a home wrecker
