Fogerty made no remarks, nor did he ask a single question until Weldon had told him everything he could think of. Then he made a few pointed enquiries and presently they had arrived at the station. The desk sergeant bowed with great respect to the youthful detective. By the dim light Arthur was now able to examine Fogerty for the first time. He was small, slim and lean.
"How does Syb Is that what you call her? how does she know? Oh, I remember now. It is the girl who served at Miss Mellen's home," Weldon said, as light began to dawn. "Ya, Boss; dat Syb." "And she is here with Miss Mellen?" Kruger Bobs nodded. "What are they doing?" "Dey is nurses sick mens." "How long have they been here?" "One, tree, five day." "Five days," Weldon translated to himself.
For a last time he came to look at the cove, which gradually opened. Then: "Mrs. Weldon," said he, in a firm voice, "I have no longer any hope of finding a harbor! Before half an hour, in spite of all my efforts, the 'Pilgrim' will be on the reefs! We must run aground! I shall not bring the ship into port! I am forced to lose her to save you! But, between your safety and hers, I do not hesitate!"
If he had not perished in that dreadful province of Kazounde, perhaps he would attempt to get near the prisoner and snatch her from Alvez's hands. The trader perfectly understood a situation which ciphered itself out by a good number of dollars. He would answer for Mrs. Weldon as for his own body.

Of course Arthur Weldon was the main stumbling-block; but Weldon was a ninny; he must be thrust aside; Diana had promised to attend to that. Never in his life had Charles Connoldy Mershone been in earnest before.
Trimmer, twirling his thumbs, displayed no surprise, nor even gratification, when Mr. Smythe almost immediately put him in nomination for president. Mr. Weldon promptly seconded that nomination. Mr. Harvey moved that the nominations for the presidency be closed. Mr. U. G. Trimmer seconded that motion, which was carried unanimously; and with no ado whatever Mr.

"Then we will go to see him again?" "Yes, darling Jack!" "With my friend Dick and Hercules and old Tom?" "Yes! yes!" replied Mrs. Weldon, putting her head down to hide her tears. "Has papa written to you?" asked little Jack. "No, my love." "Then you are going to write to him, mother?" "Yes yes perhaps!" replied Mrs. Weldon.
