I Suddenly the firititf ceased, and the liquor craft made off at fidl speed. Bill Jitood up again and looked after them, .wondering what it was all about. Ap- parently they had not attempted to aim at him per.«onally, and the fact puzzled him. I Not for long did he remain wondering. Water began to filter through the deck •boarding as it came awash, and the engine .spluttered to an abrupt stand- 'still. In vain Bill tried to get to the 'leak and stop it up. The bootleggers had done their work too well. I He had reached the higiiest point of Hie motor-boat—the roof of the cabin— Vhen there came a .steady droning from above. He looked up, and saw four 'heavy flying-boat-i aliove, their long, Mender fuselages gleaming in the earl,\ sun. Wlildiy he waved his cap to attract their attention. They saw him. Swiftly one of them swopped down to the surface of the ivater, and fa.xi'd forward. Biir clutched at the wing as it'swept p.irst, and clambered aboard. Slowly be made his way toward.s the cockpit. ; "Are you the young shaver froui Annapolis that's been getting yourself into trouble?" bellowed the pilot. "I am,'' Bill replied. "But I don't reckon I'm going back there. If you've come to colle'ct me, I'm going overi)oard. I'd be in the way if I' returned." 'fhe pilot leaned over and grabbed Iiini by the coUai of his jacket. "Cut that talk right out,"- he said. •■The skipper of my unit told me id tell you that there'd been a misunderstand ing or something, and as I passed low over Eastport slipway.s I sa\y the admiral of the academy standing below looking at our squadron. There was a girl witli him. ■ Does^ that convey anything to you?" "It does," said Bill briefly. "How fa>t can this old tub go?" The pilot did n^t answer. Instead lie opened his throttle wide, and Bill held on for dear life while they shot forwaid and banked steeply for the turn back to Annapolis—and Betty.

Almost as soon as the reports had died awaj. there was a yelp. Trent had receive.! the full force of .lim's fist cle<in on the point, and his weapons clattered to the floor. • Jim did not give liim time to recover. With a shout to (he others to wade in, he sprang at his enemy and laid him backwards across a table. Again anil again ho crashed his fist into Trent's face. The others took up tlic shout. Within a few seconds the saloon was like a battlefield. Collins, grabbing at one of the fallen guns, gripped it as Steve mounted a table. Steve took a flying leap and landed squarely on Collins" back. The two rolled over locked in a fiei-co embrace. Fargo stood apart watching the scene cnlmly. He turned to Lee, who was sianding ncur. "A nice law-abiding place," 4io com- mented, and grabbed the shewff, who rushed through the doorway at that moment, "t'luy. sherilF, you might get my boys along and have this mess sorit*.d out.
