"Oh, you'll be all right soon," replied Doctor McCrea, in what was too plainly a voice of false hope. The stretcher was brought. "Get on to this, Truax. Don't think of attempting to walk," ordered the surgeon. "Sentry, I am taking your prisoner to the sick bay. I'll make proper report of my action to the lieutenant commander." The "sick bay" is the hospital part of a warship.

Other cadets were transferred from the gunboat to the submarines, and the instruction proceeded. The manœuvers for the day were ended with a half-hour run under water. “By the way, sir, did you question Truax to see what you could learn about his reasons for acting as he did on the ’Farnum’?” asked Jack Benson the next day. Jack and Doctor McCrea were talking with Mr. Mayhew.

"I should think you'd want to get out of here once in a while, though," returned Truax. "Why?" asked the machinist. "Anything you want to be left alone here for?" "Oh, of course not," drawled Truax, blowing out a cloud of tobacco smoke. "Then I guess I'll stay where I am," nodded Williamson.

One ob yo’ men, Mistah Sam Truax, am done took sick, an’ he done sent me fo’ yo’.” “Truax ill? Why, I saw him a couple of hours ago, and he looked as healthy as a man could look,” Jack replied, in astonishment. “I reckon, sah, he’s mighty po’ly now, sah,” replied the mulatto. “He done gib me money fo’ to hiah a cab an’ take yo’ to him. Will yo’ please to come, sah?”

What do they say?” “Folks have an idea that, at most times, I’m one of the best-natured fellows on earth,” declared Eph, solemnly. “Yet they do say that, when I’m crossed in anything my mind’s made up to, I can be tarnation ugly. I just told you I don’t want the captain disturbed. Do you know, Sam Truax, I feel a queer notion coming over me?

"No; for I don't want you to forget it, and least of all on this cruise," responded Hal Hastings. "You don't give me any chance to " "Silence!" ordered Hal, taking a step toward him. Sam Truax opened his mouth to make some retort, then wisely changed his mind, dropping back into his former seat. The noon meal was served to all hands.

Barrow was in the room, and craned forward to look at her, and there was a moment of confusion and a murmur of "Get back there!" "Sit still!" The prisoner turned to Judge Truax again and squared his broad shoulders, making the more conspicuous his narrow and sunken chest.

Though a thorough search was made, Truax was not found. It was thought that the fellow had been drowned. But months later it was learned that he was skulking in Europe with Tip Gaynor, who had received word in time to make his escape also. For two days more the instruction continued at sea. Then, the tour of instruction over, the little flotilla returned to the Academy at Annapolis.

The rest of us can bear witness, and help matters straight if, in your better health, you have done anything that needs righting." Sam Truax feebly stretched out a hand that certainly was hot enough by this time. "Benson," he begged, weakly, "will you give me your hand?" "Certainly," nodded Jack, as he did so. "I I wonder if you can ever forgive me?" moaned the ill man.

"He's hiding out, now that the robbery has become public. I'm not afraid of him." "What's ther first move?" "Locate and identify the car." Ted called Mr. Truax up on the telephone. The commission merchant had read about the express robbery, and had connected the man in the red car with it, but promised to say nothing about it until Ted had had an opportunity to unravel the mystery.
