within his own。       In a few momentsit seemed to me; then; a centurythe 

mate's   grasp   relaxed;   the   body  of   Fernandez;   a   mere   limp;   leaden   mass; 

slipped noiselessly and heavily into the sea。             There was no splash。          The 

ocean   took   it   calmly  and   quietly  to   its   depths。  The   mate   turned   to   the 

men; without deigning to cast a glance on me。 

     〃'Oars!'    The men raised their oars apeak。 

     〃'Let   fall!'  There   was   a   splash   in   the   water;   encircling   the   boat   in 

concentric lines of molten silver。 

     〃'Give way!' 

     〃Well; of course; that's all。        WE got away in time。            I knew I bored 

you awfully!       Eh?     Oh; you want to know what became of the woman 

really;   I  don't   know!     And     myselfoh;     I  got  away    at  Havana!      Eh?

I fear we have kept the ladies too long。〃 

     But   they   had   already   risen;   and   were   slowly   filing   out   of   the   room。 

Only one lingeredthe youngest Miss Jones。 

     〃That   was   a   capital   story;〃   she   said;  pausing   beside   our   host;   with   a 

special significance in her usual audacity。            〃Do you know you absolutely 

sent cold chills down my spine a moment ago。                 Really; now; you ought to 

write for the magazines!〃 

     Our host looked up at the pretty; audacious face。               Then he said; sotto 

voce; 

     〃I do!〃
