He was suddenly on his guard. For the first time he realized something of the resources of this man with whom he had to deal. "My wife," he said, "knows really Yery little of her native country ; she has lived nearly all her life abroad." A "So I perceived," Mr. Sabin anâ€" Ewered. "Shall we sit down a moment, Mr. Watson ??

"‘There is no necessity for any:â€" thing of the sort," he said. "If any apology is owing at all, it is, 1 think, to your wife." r "No. sir," he declared, "I am ashamed to say that I am not very ‘lear as to the actual expressions 1 miaule, but Mrs. Watson has assured me that my behavior to you was disâ€" courteous in the extreme." "I hope you will think no more of . I had already," Mr. Sabin said, "lorgotten the cireumstance. It is not of the slightest consequence." CHAPTER XLIIL The Coming of the "Kaiser Wilhelm."

Watson, the New York yacht owner and millionaire, to the captain and his seven passengers, but he was nothing of the sort to Mr. Sabin. He shrugged his shoulâ€" ders, and followed him to a seat. After all, silence was a safe card. \ "I‘m going," Mr. Sabin said, " to be rery frank with you. 1 know, of course, who you are." Mr. Watson shrugged his shoulders. "Do you ?" he remarked dryly. Mr. Sabin bowed, with a faint smile at the corner of his lips. “li(xi‘ int P , l, f Pl‘e&tr (' I m 8“!‘9," Ml‘ its spacious diningâ€"room, opening las, where meals can be served, al Mr. mentioning erected last year at a cost C ARBAR R URC TY EoTE EUV 1?'. but an awkward amount to Sabin lit a cigarette and breathâ€" e freely. He began to see bis , CANADA =AMERICAN, Buffalo, and public baths, service tÂ¥ m. . Forgive few minutes, Capt. Ackinson was standing alone on deck, watching the manâ€"ofâ€"war‘s boat which was being rapidly pulled towards the Calipha. He was obviâ€" ously in a bad temper. ‘There was a black frown upon his forehead which did not altogether disappear when he turned his head and saw them apâ€" proaching. ht " You are a wonderful man," sahe said softly. " No salad, thanks! I am too nervous to eat. Let us go on "I can assure you," he said, "that they are powerless to do anything except attempt to frighten Capt. Ackingon. Of course, they might sucâ€" ceed in that, but I don‘t think it is likely. Let us go and hear what he had to say." " Are we arrested, Captain.?" Mr. Babin asked. " Why couldn‘t they sigâ€" nal what they wanted ?" * Because they‘re blistering idiots," Capt. Ackinson â€" answered. â€" " They bother me to stop, and IL signalled back to ask their reason, and I‘m dashed if they didn‘t put a shot across my bows. As if I hadn‘t lost enough time already without fooling." _ *"*Thanks to us, I am afraid, Capâ€" tq}n_.'_‘ Mrs. Watson put in. * Well, I‘m not regretting that, Mrs. Watson," the captain answered galâ€" lantly. " We got something for stopâ€" deck !" Mr. Sabin rose, and carefully selected a cigarette. t on ce ioi "Not exactly," Mr. Sabin said. "At the same time I have some idea. The ship who fired that signal is a Gerâ€" man manâ€"ofâ€"war, and you see we are stopping.‘ Of the two Mrs. Watson was cerâ€" tainly the most nervous. Her fingers shook so that the wine in her glass was spilt. She set her glass down and looked across at her companion. A look of admiration flashed for a moment across her face. "What ship? Do you know _ anyâ€" thing about it? Do you know what they want ?" "I think not," Mr. Sabin answered. "I am inclined to think that 1 am perfectly safe. Will you try some of my salad ?" Mr. Sabin looked up with a quiet smile from the salad which he was mixing. _ * f f "It is simply a signal from _ anâ€" other ship," he angwered. "She wants us to stop." 7 ‘"What is it?" she exclaimed, lookâ€" ing across at him with frightened eyes. "What can have happened! England is not at war with anyâ€" body, is she ?" "They will take you away,." she murmured. "It was very much in your favor," she answered, leaning across towards him. "I think that you knew it would be." "I hope at leagtâ€"" Mr. Sabin broke off suddenly in the midst of his sentence, and, turning round, looked out of the open portâ€" hole. Mrs. Watson had dropped her knife and fork and was holding her hands to her ears. The saloon itself seemed to be shaken by the booming of a gun fired at close quarters. She looked up at him with a meanâ€" ing smile upon her face. "So he has been telling me." "I hope," Mr. Sabin continued gently, "that your advice to himâ€" I take it for granted that he comes to you for adviceâ€"was in my favor." CHAPTER LXIV. t The Germans Are Annoyed. Mr. Sabin ate his lunchseon with unâ€" impaired appetite and with his usâ€" ual care that everything of which he partook should be, so far as posâ€" sible, of the best. The close presence of the German manâ€"ofâ€"war did not greatly alarm him. He had _ some knowledge of the laws and courtesies of maritime life, and he could not conceive by what means short of actual force he could be inveigled on board of her. Mr. Watson‘s last words had been a little disquieting, but he probably held an exaggerated opinâ€" ion as to the powers possessed by his employers. Mr. Sabin had been in many tighter places than this and he had sufficient belief in the country of hlf recent adoption to congratuâ€" late himself that it was an English boat on which he was a passenger. He proceeded to make himself agreeâ€" able to Mrs. Watson, who in a charmâ€" ing costume of blue and white, and a fascinating little hat, had just come on to luncheon. "I have been talking," he remarkâ€" ed, after a brief pause in their con:â€" versation, "to your husband this morning." A elight mist had settled around them by the time the game was over, and the fog horn was blowing, the captain went on the bridge, and the engines were checked to half speed. Mr. Sabin leaned over the side of the vessel, and gazed thoughtfully into the dense white‘ vapor. "I think," he said softly to himâ€" self, "that after all I‘m safe." There _ was perfect silence on â€" the ship. Even the luncheon gong had not sounded,. the passengers having been summoned in a whisper by the deck steward. The fog seemed to be getting Gdenser, and the sea was like glass. And then suddenly, withâ€" out any warning, they passed out inâ€" to the clear air, the mist rolled away, the sun shone down upon them again, and the decks dried as though by magic. The machinery recommenced to throb, and the passengers who lhad finished lunch went upon deck. Every one was attracted at once by the sight of a large white steamer about a mile on the starboard side. Mr. Watson joined the captain, who was examining her through his glass. The captain nodded. "Not much doubt about that," he answered ; "look at her guns. The odd part of it is, too, she is flying no flag. We shall know who she is in a minute or two, though." "I know her," Mr. Watson answered, "too well. She is the Kaiser Wilheim, and she is going to rob me of twenty thousand pounds." d“Man-or-warT isn‘t she?" he inquirâ€" ed. Mr. Sabin descended the steps his way to a late luncheon. _ As turned the corner, he came face "Manâ€"o[â€"war," Mr. Sabin remarked. "You look as though you had seen her before." t Mr. Watson laughed harshly. "I should like to see her," he remarkâ€" ed, "at the bottom of the sea." Mr. Sabin looked at him in surprise. "You know her, then ?" he remarkâ€" Mr. Sanin descended the steps on his way to a late luncheon. As he turned the corner, he came face to face with Mr. Watson, whose eyes were fixed upon the coming steamer with a very curious expression. _ 1 must have a little talk with Mrs. Wation." M uk Mr. Sabin nodded. "We will have a cigar together after lunch," he said. "i must have my morning game of shuffieboard withk the captain." Mr. Watson went below, and Mr. Sabin played shuffleboard with his usual deadly skill. "Captain Ackinson," he said, " do not be rash. If I have seemed too peremptory in this matter, rememâ€" ber that Germany as my fatherland is as dear to me as England is to you, and this man whose arrest I am commissioned to effect has earned for himsel{ the deep enmity of all patriots. Listen to me, I beg. You run not one shadow of risk in delivering this man up to my cusâ€" tody. He has no country with whom you might become embroiled. He is a Frenich Royalist, who has cast himself{ adrift altogether from his country, and is indeed her enemy. Apart from that, his detention, trial and sentence, would be before a se cret court. He would simply disapâ€" pear. As for you, you need not fear but that your services will be amâ€" ply recognized. Make your claims now for this detention ol your steamer ; fix it, if you will, at five or even ten thousand pounds, and I will satisfy it on the spot by a draft on the Imperial Exchequer. "I shall be interested to see what measures of force you will employ," he remarked. " You may have a tidy bill to pay as it is, for that shot you put across my bows. If you try another it may cost you the Kaiser Wilhelm and the whole of the Gerâ€" man Navy. Now, if you please, I‘ve no more time to waste." The "A warrant," Dronestein continued, drawing an imposing looking document from his breast pocket. "If you will examine it you will perceive that it is in perfect order. It bears, in fact," he continued, pointing with reverenâ€" tial forefinger to a signature near the bottom of the document,. "the seal of his most august Majesty the Emperor of Germany." Capt. Ackinson glanced at the document with imperturbable face. " What is the name of the gentleâ€" man to whom all this refers?" he inquired. "‘The Duc de Souspennier!~ "‘The name," Capt. Ackinson reâ€" marked, ‘"is not on my passengers‘ * You must, if you please, be reaâ€" sonable," Captain Dronestein said. " We have force behind us, and we aroe determined to rescue this man at all costs." Captain Ackinson laughed scornâ€" fully. _ _ Captain Ackinson moved toward the door. Dronestein laid his hand upon his arm. "‘Then I am very sorry, indeed," Captain _ Ackinson declared, " that you should have had the temerity to stop my ship, and detain _ me here on such a fool‘s errand. We are on the high seas and under the English flag. The document you have just shown me impeaching the Duc de Souspennier for ‘lese majesâ€" tie‘ and high treason, and all the rest of it, is not worth the paper it is written on here, nor, I should think. in America. I must ask you to leave my ship at once, gentle: men, and 1 can promise you that my employers, the Cunard Steamâ€" ship Company, will bring a claim against your Government for this unwarrantable detention." "I am afraid you will not consider my errand here a particularly pleasâ€" ant one, Herr Captain. I have a warâ€" rant here for the arrast of one of your passengers, whom I have to ask you to hand over to me." "A what?" Capt. Ackinson exâ€" claimed, with a spot of deep color stealing through the tan of his cheeks. "He is travelling under the alias of ‘Mr. Rabin, Baron Von Graishâ€" eim interjected. Capt. Ackinson‘s reply was not gushâ€" ing. He gave the necessary orders, nowever, and in a few moments Capt. Von Dronestein and a thin, dark man, in the dress of a civilian, clambered to the deck. They looked at Mr. Sabin, standing by the captain‘s side, and eychanged glances of intelligence. " Now, gentlemen, if you please," he said briskly, "to business. You have stopped a mail steamer in midâ€"ocean by force, so I presume you have someâ€" thing of importance to say. Please say it and let me go on. I am behind time now !" "Certainly!" the two men _ eX claimed, with one voice. " I am Capt. Von Dronestein, in comâ€" mand of the Kaiser Wilhelm, German navyy," he replied. "I want a word or two with you in private, Capt. Ackinson. Can I come on board ?" "If you will kindly permit us, Captain," the newcomer said, "we should like to speak with you in priâ€" " Never mind what it was intended for. I have my own opinion about that," Capt. Ackinson remarked imâ€" patiently. " Proceed, if you please !" Capt. Ackinson‘s acknowledgment of the introduction was barely civil. The German continued : " And do you expect me," Capt. Ackinson remarked, " to hand over the person in question to you on the authority of that document ?" "It was a blank charge," the Gerâ€" man began, but Capt. Ackinson interâ€" rupted him. y "It was nothing of the sort!" he declared bluntly. "I wa«e on deck and saw the charge strike the water.‘"‘ "It was then contrary to my or‘ ders," Capt. Dronestein declared, "and in any case it was not intended for intimidation." " In the first place, permit me to introduce the Baron Von Graisheim, who is attached to the Ministry for Foreign Affairs at Berlin."‘ ping there, but we shall get nothing decent from these confounded Germans, I am very sure. By the bye, can you speak their lingo, Mr. Sabin ?" " Yes," Mr. Sabin answered, "I can speak German. Can I be of any asâ€" sistance to you ?" t Mr. Sabin remained by the captain‘s side, standing with his hands behind him. Mrs. Watson leaned over the rail close at hand, watching the approachâ€" ing boat, and exchanging remarks with the doctor. In a few minutes the boat was alongside, and an officer in the uniform of the German navyy rose and made a stiff salute. ‘"Are you the captain?" he inquired in stiff but correct English. ‘The captain returned his salute. "I am Capt. Ackinson, Cunard ss. Calipha," he answered. " What do you want with me ?" CA Mr. Sabin discreetly retired. ‘The captain turned on his heel and led the way to his cabin. He pointed briefly to the lounge against the wall and remained himsel{ standing.
