“T’wonder if he cowld have teen on the job when some one came to interfere with him,’’ said I.

‘*I don’t know about that, sir, but I am perfectly certain that 1 could open the box. There’s a screwdriver here in the locker. Just hold the lamp, Allar- dyce, and I'll have it.done ina brace of shakes.’’

‘*Wait a bit,’’ said I, for already, with eyes which gleamed with curiosity and with avarice, he was stooping @ver the lid. ‘‘I don’t see that there is any hurry over this matter. You've read that card which warns us not to open it. mean nothing, but somehow I feel in- After all, whatever is in it will keep, and if it is valuable it will be worth as much if it is opened in the owner’s offices as im the cabin of the Mary Siaclair.’’

The first officer seemed bitterly dis- appointed at my decision.

‘*Surely, sir, you are not supersti- tious about it,’’ said be, witha slight sneer upon his thin lips. ‘‘If it gets out of our own hands and we don’t see for ourselves what is inside it, we may be done out of our rights; besides’’—

‘*That’s enough, Mr. Armstrong,”’ said I abruptly. ‘‘ You may have every cou fidence that you will get your rights, but I will not have that box opened to- night.’’

‘*Why, the label itself shows that the box has been examined by Furopeans,’’ Allardyce added. ‘‘Becansea boxisa treasure box isno reason thatit has treasures inside itnow. A good many folk have hada peep into it since the days of the old governor of Terra Firma.’”’

Armstrong threw the screwdriver down upon the table and shragged his shoulders,

‘*Just as you like,’’ said he, but for the rest of the evening, although we spoke upon many subjects, I noticed that bis eyes were continually coming round with the same expression of curiosity and greed to the old striped box.

And now I come to that portion of my story which fills me even pow with a shuddering horror when I think of it. The main cabin had the rooms of the officers round it, but mine was the farthest away from it at the end of the little passage which led to the com- panion. No regular watch was kept by me except in cases of emergency, and the three mates divided them among them. Armatrong had the middle watch, which ends at 4 in the morning, and ke was relieved by Allardyce. For my part, I have always been one of the soundest of sleepers, and it is rare for anything less then a hand upon my shoulder to arouse me.

And yet I was aroused that night, or rather in the early gray of the morning. It was just 4:50 by my chronometer when something caused me to sit wp in my berth wide awake and with every merve tingling. It was a sound of some

end of it, which still jarred upon my ears. I sat listening, but all was now silent.

And yet it could not have been imagination, that hideous cry, for the echo of it still rang in my head, and it seemed to have come from some place quite close tome. I sprang from my bunk, and, pulling on some clothes, I made my way into the cabin,

At first I saw nothing unusual there. In the cold gray light I made out the red clothed table, the six rotating chairs, the walnut lockers, the swing- ing barometer, and inere at the end the big striped chest. I was turuing away with the inteation of going upon deck and asking the second mate if he had

denly upon something which projected from under the table. It was the leg cf a man, a leg with a long sea boot upon it. I stooped, and there was a figure sprawling upon his face, his arms

' thrown forward and his body twisted.

Put there is no }

One glance told me that it was Arm- etrong, the first officer, and a second that he was a dead man. For afew mo- ments I stood gasping. Then I rushed on to the deck, called Allardyce to my assistance and came back with him into the cabin.

Together we pulled the unfortunate fellow from under the table, and as we looked at his dripping head we ex- changed glances, and I do not know which was the paler of the two.

‘‘The same as the Spanish sailor,” said L.

‘“‘The very same. God preserve us! It’s that infernal chest! Lock at Arm- ttrong’s hand!’’

He held up the mate’s right hand,

and there was the screwdriver which he had wished to use the night before.

‘*He’s been at the chest, sir. He knew that I was on deck and you esleep. He knelt down in front of it and he pushed the lock baek with that tool. Then something happened to him and he cried out so that you heard him?’’

‘*Allardyce,’’ I whispered, ‘‘what could have happened to him.’’

The second mate put his hand upen my sleeve and drew me into his cabin.

‘*We can talk here, sir, and we don’t know who may be listening to us in there. What do you suppose is in that box, Captain Barclay?’

*“‘T give you my word, Allardyce, that I have no idea.’’

‘*Well, I can only find one theory which will fit all the facts. Look at the size of the box. Look at all the carving ard metal work which may conceal any number of holes. Look at the weight of it. It took four men to carry it. On the top of that remember that two men have tried to open it, and both have come to their erd through it. Now, sir, what can it mean except one thing?’’

‘*You mean that there isa man in it?’

“‘Of coarse there is a man in it. You know how it is in these South Ameri- can states, sir. A man may be president one week and hunted like a dog the next. ‘They are forever fiying for their lives. My idea is that there is some fel- low in hiding there who is armed and desperate, and who will fight to the Geath before he is taken.’’

‘*PBut his food and drink?’’

‘It’s 2 roomy chest, sir, and he may have some provisions stowed away. As to his drink, he had a friend among the crew upon the brig whosaw that he had what he needed.”’

‘*You think, then, that the label ask- ing people not to open the box was sim- ply written in his interest?’’

‘*Yos, sir, that is my idea. Have you any other way of explainiug the facts?’’

I had to confess that I had not.

‘“The question is, What are we to do?’’ I asked.

‘*The man’s a dangerous ruffian who sticks at nothing. I’m tainking it

Or if we just tied the box us and kept him from getting any water maybe that would do as well, or the carpenter could put a coat of varnish over it and step all the blowholes.”’ “‘Come, Allardyce,’’ said I angrily. **You don’t seriously mean to say that a w'iole ship’s company are going to bs terrorized by a single znan in a box. Jf he’s there, I'll engage to fetch hir out!’’ I went to my room and came back with my revolver in my hand. **Do you open the lock and I'll stand on guard.”’ **Por God's enke, think what you are doing, sir!’ «ried the mate. ‘‘Two men have lost their lives over it, and the blood cf one not yet dry upon the car-

‘Well, sir, at least let me cal] the carpenter. Three are better than two, and he is a good stout man,”’

He went off in search of him, and I was left alone with the striped chest in the cabin. I don’t think that I’m a nerv- ous man, but I kept the table between me and this solid old relic of the Span- ish main. In the growing light of morn-
