Waldon relieved himself by driving the tender back at top speed to the Lucie, and now it seemed that Kennedy had no objection to traveling as fast as the many-cylindered engine was capable of going. As we entered the saloon of the houseboat, I kept close watch over Waldon.
"Why, it's an old castle of some kind!" exclaimed Frank, as they paused at the foot of the tower, spent and breathless. "I don't care what it is," replied Bart. "It's shelter of some kind, and that's enough for me." "Wonder if there's any one living here," remarked Billy Waldon, his eyes sweeping the great mass for some sign of life. "Even the bark of a dog would be welcome to-night."
"I think I shall have in a short time," returned Kennedy. "We shall be back immediately. I'm just going to ask Waldon to run over to the Nautilus for a few minutes. We'll tow back your launch, too, in case you need it." Waldon had cast off obediently. "There's one thing sure," I remarked. "Jermyn can't get away from the Lucie until we return unless he swims."
It was by this window, evidently, that Juanita meant that Mrs. Edwards often sat. It was a delightful position, but I could readily see that it would be comparatively easy for anyone accidentally or purposely to fall. "I think myself," Waldon remarked to Kennedy, "that it must have been from the open window that she made her way to the outside.
They took the body to town, and there it was recognized. They sent word out to us immediately." Waldon had already spun the engine of his tender, which was about the fastest thing afloat about Seaville, had taken Edwards over, and we were off in a cloud of spray, the nose of the boat many inches above the surface of the water.
Will see you as soon as present excitement dies down." Before Kennedy could finish, Waldon had leaped forward, unable longer to control his feelings. If Kennedy had not seized his arm, I verily believe he would have cast Dr. Jermyn into the bay into which his sister had fallen two nights before in her terribly weakened condition. "Waldon," cried Kennedy, "for God's sake, man wait!
Waldon called me up in the middle of the night, however, and I started down in my car, which enabled me to get here before the first train. I haven't been able to do a thing since I got here except just wait- -wait wait. I confess that I don't know what else to do. Waldon seemed to think we ought to have some one down here and I guess he was right. Anyhow, I'm glad to see you."
Suddenly I recalled the theory that Waldon himself had advanced regarding the wireless, either from the boat itself or from the wireless station. For the moment, at least, it seemed plausible that she might have been seated at the window, that she might have been affected by escaped wireless, or by electrolysis.
They both laughed, and then, for some hours, Joe Strong was closeted with the chemist. When Joe emerged from the office of Mr. Waldon there was a look of satisfaction on the face of the young magician. "I think I can make quite an act, after what you've told me," he said. "As soon as I get it perfected I'll send you word and you can come to see me."
I knew what was coming, but the merciful twilight concealed my face. 'Congratulate me, Arthur! I am going to marry Florence Waldon next month, and you must be best man. "I did congratulate him from the depth of my heart, and I was best man at the wedding; and when their little son was born they named him Arthur after me. He is the Arthur Grafton you have known. But poor Lawrence!
