Thence I should make straight for the coast guard station and inform the officer in charge that the notorious Captain Shannon was at that moment in hiding on the Ouban Queen disguised as a woman. The rest would be easy, for I bad bit upon a plan by which, providing that I could count upon the necessary assistance at the proper moment, the fugitive oould be secured without difficulty or danger, and I saw no reason why the newspaper placards of the morning after Hughes' return should not bear the startling announcement, "Arrest of Captain Shannon." Tho plot was thickening indeed, for it was no doubt by Mullen's directions that she bad oome to England (ho had probably given instruction that she was to enter the Thames by daylight so that ho might not miss hor), and ho would scarcely have sent for her until tho fitting moment to make his escape bad arrived. I had scarcely time to satisfv myself of tho steam yacht's identity ann to lay down tho glasses before Mullen reappeared with a plentiful supply of bread and cbeose—of which be must have been sorely in need, for ho had had no food since early morning. Every shadow of his nervousness was now gone and he was in the best of spirits. and Bright's v—Disease Kills! CHAPTER XXX. DALLAS TOWNSHIP. M'lKK IJKV1LRY. There was no fastening to the door of my cabin, bnt on passing my hand over the place where a fastening might have been expected a flake of soft substance caught in my finger nail and dropped to the floor. This, when I picked it up, proved to be a pallet of bread kneaded to the consistency ot putty or dough. Taking the swing lamp from its bracket I examined the door more closely and saw that there had once been a fastening of some sort A closer examination convinced me that tbe person who had removed the fastening had been to the pains of plugging the empty screw holes with kneaded bread, after which he had apparently rubbed dirt smeared fiugers over tbe place where tbe fastening had been in order to hide tbe marks left by removal.

By standing on the steps of the cockpit he could, without being seen himself, get a distant view of every vessel that passed up or down tbe great waterway of the Thames. "That's right. Make yourself jolly, my good man. You're going to do well out of this job, I can tell you,'' he said, "and as it's beginning to get a bit dark and I don't see any one about, I'll go on deck to stretch my legs and get an airing." "Ih it possible? No, it can't be!" he said. "Don't, d"n't tell me that yon didn't know 1 knew who you were. Why, yon refreshing person, it was only because I did know that I pretended to fall into your booby trap. I only let you take Hughes' place on board the hulk that I might get you intorty power and rid myself of the pair of yoa at a sweep. And to think that you didn't know that I knew! Why, man alive.

"There is some devilry in this," I said to myself. "Even if tbe bolt had not been reocntly changed, I should strongly object to be anywhere where Mullen could fasten me in if be bad a mind to. I shall have to take out these screws one by one with my penknife and make each hole so large that tbe screws don't bite. Then I'll replaoe tbem, and the whole concern will look as it was before. Bat if Mallen should fasten me jn, one good kick will fetch tbe bolt off and let me out." He was inclined to be friendly, even talkative, and only once was there a recurrence of the irritability he had manifested on tbe previous evening. It happened in this wise: He remained there until night had set in, and then he came into the cabin.

Some fishing lines were in the cabin, and being badly in want of something to make tbe time pass I baited tbem with shreds of raw herring and threw them over tbe ship's side. I got a " bite" directly, but, on hauling up, found it came from a crab about as big as a 5 shilling piece, whom I tenderly detached from tbe inhospitable book and restored to his native element I rebaited, sent the lead whizzing overboard and again brought up a crab.
