Miles Gaston gives instructions t o have Betty Lee brought aboard his yacht without her knowing that he was not drowned as a result of her plot to cripple his engines. When Gaston first sees Betty he is struck with her beauty, but quickly puts aside all such thoughts for the more sober business of obtaining possession of the map showing where her father hid the treasure. Betty is put in a stateroom aboard Gaston's yacht by Jack Fay, the young reporter who shipped with Gaston. The latter watches and sees Betty take the map from its hidingplace. He enters and demands it. Betty is dazed to see him alive, but soon recovers her wits. They struggle for the map. It is torn in two pieces. Gaston has one-half and Betty the remaining half, and she runs out on the deck. Betty declares she is going to take possession of Gaston's yacht, as her crew is the stronger and that is the only way to continue her mission. Betty's crew engages in a pitched battle with Gaston's crew. An arrow soars through the air and lands near Betty. Attached to it is a note enjoining her to keep up her courage, for unseen but strong help is always near her and will defend her in the hour of peril. Betty's forces capture the wheel-house and Gaston's crew is driven to the engine room. Gaston orders the engine stopped. The "ADRIFT" EPISODE THREE Written and Produced by HARRY HARVEY CAST.

WILSON'S MESSAGE OF CHEER TO BOYS IN THE HOSPITALS. Do right tbo' pain and anguish be thv lot; Thy heart will cheer thee when the pain's forgot." "pHAT is one of the messages which shortly will be read somewhere in France by the fighting men who have been injured in battle and have been taken to the hospitals. The message has been written by Ben Wilson, star of "The Mystery Ship," on a piece of silk, which forms part of a patchwork quilt, a number of which are to be sent across the seas to give cheer to the sufferers in the hospitals. Wilson's message was requested in the following letter from a friend in New York: "As you doubtless know, there are hundreds of poor fellows in hospitals on the other side, who have lost both arms or hands, and as a result are unable to hold a book or paper, which makes their sad lot seem doubly hard to them. "But a bright mind has conceived the idea of making patch-work quilts, on which are written messages from people all over the world, and they are proving a source of great delight to the poor stricken boys. "Each day the quilts are changed, so that they are constantly receiving a fresh supply of reading matter. "I am enclosing a small piece of material and shall be deeply obliged if on it you will write a message — anything in the way of a quotation, verse, anecdoate, personal experience, a few words of sympathy or good cheer — in fact, whatever you think will interest and entertain the poor, bed-ridden fellows. "Would suggest that the writing be in pencil and as large as possible, so that our ladies may easily embroider them in order to preserve the written words." The quotation used as a message of cheer by the well-knoAvn Universal star is inscribed on a piece of pink silk two feet long and one foot wide.
