"Don't make any mistake." came Ella's prompt reply. an't their game to come to the scratch before tho time.

Neither of them will want to shut the trap-door down on t'other unless ho can or so much as light a pipe, without incurring a swift -rlance of veiled anxiety from his patron. About 5 o'clock in the afternoon the 'wo men held brief conversation In whispers, as the result of which they bo'h went toward the foot of the rope ladder whkh had ben dangling the rap-door all day. Phyllis, noting every movement in a detained sort of way, as no'hing concerned herself, conceived the Idea that each wanted to mount the ladder first. If that was so. Raven-scar coiKednJ the point with a flight shrug, denoting that it was Immaterial.

The precaution was presently revealed as a sound one. The gloom of the fog was beginning to be reinforced by the natural darkness of night, and Standish waa rummaging In the store of provisions with a view to serving out tho evening meal, when a distant shout, faint but distinct, penetrated to the depths. The fisherman straightened himself and cocked his head on one side to listen. In something under a minute the shout was repeated: "Reef ahoy! Whore the 1 are you? "That's the brig hailing us," said Standlsh, breaking a silence that could be felt.

But Mr. Carter Ravenscar was as elusive In these strenuouB dologs as he had been In politer villainies requiring only the use of a subtle brain. Moreover, he was fortified with the knowledge that, in his side pocket lurked a weapon which, if he could only get at It, would countervail the brute force of his opponent and turn the tables In his (avor.

That, at least, is what they say to each other, and to me." "But you suspect that they both have different plans that they are not dealing fairly with one another In their wickedness." "I guessed it at first, but I know it now after the way they went up that ladder, said Ella, bluntly. "Ravenscar, or Carter, for I call him by his christened name" her voice broke a little his pocket holding the coveted prize.

Ravenscar's right hand, released from trying to remove Michael's clutch from his throat, went like lightning to his other pocket. Aa quickly It came out again armed with the revolver, but not so quickly that he could lire it before Michael had given him a push that sent him reeling townrd the open trap-door. If he had thought more of the yawning peril than of punishing his enemy he might have saved himself. As It was the revolver cracked as he staggered and fell down, down In to the depths, a cry ot rage and bate heralding the horrid thud with which he struck the stone floor at the bottom. It was so dark now down In the base of the ruin that till Ella had seized the lantern and run with It to the huddled heap neither she nor Phyllis knew which of the two men It was.

On seeing that it was her treacherous lover, Ella deliberately set down the lantern, felt the unconscious scoundrel's heart, and. seating herself on the floor, took his head In her lap. Presently she looked up, peering at her companion through the gloom. "He's not dead," she said simply. "If I was you I should clear out of this and get down on to the reef.

Even up above would be better than this. Come daylight you'd maybe be seen there, but I wouldn't like you to be down here If this chap comes to." "But your father?" said Phyllis, timidly. "I dare not trust myself away from you. He is up there still, remember." "Unless he's dead or gone off to the brig," corrected Ella, speaking In a dull tone eloquent of a broken heart. "I ex Battle.

'Ui the whole she accepted this aloofness i a good sign, which might mean that she was to be released by death.

The attitude of Ella Sfandtsh puzzled her still more. The bold beauty of the i headland beach had been late In wak- Hum (tiuo ana sneuer, see; Phyllis did see, and nodded affirmatively. Under Ella's tuition she was beginning to understand the duplicity of the two rogues, and she could appreciate their need to keep up the pretense of a community of Interests as long as escape was hanging In the balance. She found herself watching their efforts to that end with a horrible fascination which fell very little short of amusement, and so absorbed her that she was mercifully enabled to forget her own danger. Always sympathetic, she was more concerned with Ella's pitiful fears of the two men upon whom she had every elair.i for protection than with the two dreadful alternatives threatening herself.

It she gave a though' to the latter It When Michael Standish uttered his pronouncement that the hall came from the expected brig, Ravenscar was lounging against the wall of the ruin in close proximity to the foot of the rope-ladder. He had been very silent all day, apparently content to recognize the right of Standlsh to command In his own lair. With the coming of the brig, however, he something else that be was Interested in not the shining little Derringer that his adversary was thinking of, but a fat wad of notes and gold. It was necessary that he should possess himself of the plunder before he administered the ooup de grace in the manner that appealed to bis sense of retribution. For Michael Standish had correctly divined his former confederate's Intention to shut him Into the ruin and let htm share the fate of the two women, originally devised for Phyllis alone.

He had determined to repay Ravenscar in kini, first relieving him of the sinews of war provided for his flight; and being as callous and cruel-hearted a ruffian as was ever furnished with a handsome face and a melodious voice, he meant to Include his daughter In the catastrophe. Ella, lolling against the circular wall, gave a short laugh when the two had disappeared. "Seems as if they didn't trust each other," she said Bbooting a tentative glance at Phyllis, as though doubtful how her advance would be accepted. "Someone had to go up, but it looks a9 if ea was aleard t'other might play pranks with the trap-door." Phyllis felt that it would be nnwise to decline the overture. "Why should they not trust each other? They are In the same tjoat, both of them.

I don't blame him he's played for a big stake and lost. There's just a chance, though I don't set much store bv it now, that I might have replied in as natural a voice as she could i command. The fisherman's daughter laughed acain. not quite so harshly now. "You have hit ing on the morning after her arrival, and 1 it at once," she said.

Michael was after him like a cat. turning to fling over his shoulder to the frightened girls the ominous sentenco: "I wanted him up yonder. I'll see to you when I've done with him," Quickly as the tall secretary climbed, the giant fisherman's agility enabled him to make up the start gained by the other, and he hurled himself through tho aperture before Ravenscar had gained a foothold on the stone floor which was the roof of Phyllis' prison room. The Impact of Michael's huge body sent Ravenscar spinning on to his back just as he was turning with the evident intention of slamming down the trap-door.

The moment of time thus gained enabled Michael to glance over the parapet of fractured masonry. The fog had lifted a little and he was to pray for Ravenscar's overthrow, for 6he could not believe that Michael Standlsh would be so vile as to compass his daughter's death. And while Ella lived she was confident that the worst the two horrov3 confronting her would never be realized. With the spirit of evil In the shape of Ravenscar exorcised Ella would become a controlling force, strong enough to hold In check the passions of her lawless sire. So at least Phyllis tried to comfort herself.

The fog was not long in making itself unpleasantly felt In the interior of the ruin. In eddying swirls It wreathed and colled through the open trap-door, gradually creeping downward till the damp chill of the salt -laden mist enshrouded the four occupants of the cavern-like chamber. Yet on Ell.i suggesting (hat the trapdoor should be closed Michael Standish curtly made her hold her tongue. It was necessary, he explained, that they should be able to hear if anything happened outside a proposition to which Ravenscar added a prompt issent. never saying a word, but incessantly try- that's what's the matter.

So the battle which ensued was not so one-sided as it might have been. In spite of the advantage of Standlsh's Initial assault, Ravenscar wriggled and twisted and writhed, literally deserving the description of "squirmy" which Yvonne was so fond of applying to him. The stronger man, In his eagerness to feel the spoil he hankered for, and a little too confident In his own splendid physique, only used one hand for combative purposes, employ-lug the other in deft rasses over his an-agonlst's clothing.

The result was that Ravenscar wrenched himself free Just as MIOhael's left hand was withdrawn from pect Carter's shot settled him, or he'd have shown up before this. Hold on a minute and listen!" But Intense silence reigned above. "Give me that biscuit tin," said Ella. Phyllis, wondering greatly, but imbued with a strange sense of trust, obeyed. Ella carefully laid Ravenscar's head on the tin and rose.

"I'm going up to see if it's safe for you," she said. "You'd beter call out if Carter comes to." She climbed the rope ladder, during her absence Phyllis watching the contorted face on the biscuit fin with a gaze she strove to avert but could not. There was no movement in the pallid features or in the limp limbs of her persecutor. (To be continued to-morrow.)

The most in in Prospect Hall, Prospect and Fifth avenue, to-night, under the auspices of the Marothon Club. Sixty-three couples have entered and will waltz or two-step around a circle floor for a period of an hour and a half.

They dare not side-step or back-step too much, lest they be disqualified, those that survive the ordeal, and many dance "fiends" have signified their intention ot taking part, there will be a further contest of fifteen minutes In which the couple making the largest number of laps In that time will be declared the winners. Officers of the club declare that yesterday more than two-thirds of the couples entered practised dancing yesterday to prepare themselves for the event. Dr. S. H.

Heffernan, Democratic leader of the Seventh Assembly District, will be the starter. Great Interest is being taken in the race, and a big attendance is expected. for governor of New York.

Depew did not say that Piatt had told the governor, jut that the information was "conveyed uireetly from one man to the other." Roosevelt undoubtedly knew the meaning of that threat. It had become quite the custom for Republican conventions to toss the seeond place on rheir presidential tickets to a New York man. Hanna had purposely avoided tradition in 1896 by selecting Hobart, a New Jersey politician of inconspicuous character t'aat neither of the Republican factions in the Empire State could take offense. That didn't alter the fact that Hayes had a New Yorker from Malone; that Garfield had Chester Arthur; that Harrison had Levi P. Morton, and that the Hobart experiment was not to be repeated.

With Roosevelt it was "aut vice president aut nullus." Here was the spectacle of a young man who had been one of three police commissioners in old New York only a brief period before the vice presidency (which carried with It, in the event of success at the polls, tho presidency of the United States Senate) hesitating! There was a strange, unaccountable chap in thp crowd named Holls. He had been a civil service commissioner, or something of the sort, and Roosevelt had formed a romantic attachment for him. Holla walked over and slapped the staring-eyed Governor on the back and said: Doodle Girls" company appearing this week at the Casino.

Rose Mundell of the noted Southern family of Mayo of Tennessee and Alabama. Before her marriage in the Quaker City she was one of the most popular belles of the South, and since she came North has become no less a favorite in the society of Philadelphia and New York City. Hor little daughter, when she comes of age, will be one of the heirs to the great Mundell estate In Philadelphia. Mrs. Mundell also belongs to the famous Le family of Virginia, though she considers Mobile.

where she lived as a girl, her home city. Mrs. Mundell is a mem teresting part of his connection with New York City politics couli he told by a reserved, golf-playing, tarpon-catching old man now at Palm Iteach, Richard Croker. He could tell of one instance in which a nominally reform mayor of New York (prior to consolidation) was really elected, but with ihe certainty of that knowledge, compel led to step asido because "the Easy Boss" was a man who kept word. 1 don't say he will tell; but he could.

Such was Mr. Piatt's record, and it was the chief element of his strength, especially with his dealings with Tammany. In most of the obituary notices of Thomaa C. Piatt printed yesterday, the greatest achievement of his life was ither overlooked or dismissed with a line. Is not a remarkable fact that ni least three million people in Greater New York have forgotten that the splendid achievement of uniting five boroughs into the second greatest city of this world was really due to Thomaa C.

Piatt? Andrew 31. Green had been agitating the union of all the adjacent territory into one great city, but nobody had takeu ent "star system" on the stage, and at the same time develop versatility in actors. He will try the plan at the forthcoming Actors' Fund Fair, and If the experiment proves successful, he will elaborate on It for next season. The idea is to change the cast of a popular play running In New York several times a season, giving the public a chance to see how different stars play the part, and also giving the stars an opportunity of shifting their roles during the season. At the fund fair a one-act play, already selected, will be presented every day of the week, with a different star and company each day.

Frank J. Mclntyre and Percival T. Moore, the hero and the villain of "The Traveling Salesman," James Forbes' latest comedy, which Henry B. Harris will send to the Broadway, are writing a musical comedy which tney fervently hope some kind manager will produce. Mclntyre is tinkering with the tunes and Moore is distilling the comedy.

Violet McMillan of "The Young Turk" company at the Mon-tauk: Janet Priest and Marguerite Clark are some of the dainty exponents of this claus, tiut Miss Mayne believes she is smaller in size than any, measuring only 57'a inches. "And 2 inches of that," she says, "can be ascribed to high heels." Miss Mayne's ability le not measured by her stature, for she acts with piquant charm, sings well and dances cleverly.

Of course, he was not generally known in those days, but he had a propensity to write verses, to sing the musk-of other people and to act as precentor of the Presbyterian choir in the old church of his father.
