"Not on this case; we have all the evidence needed. If you take their
addresses that will be all that is necessary. Pleasant voyage!"

He waved his hand, and then, perceiving us as he turned away from the
rail, lifted his cap in salute. A moment later a boat heavily manned
shot out from the cutter's black side, and headed toward us. We stood
there alone in the shadow, watching its approach.

"It is all over now, dear," I whispered.

"Yes, but--but I do not feel as though I could ever touch that money."

"You will have no choice. The courts will decide that."

She glanced aside at me shyly, and one hand rested on the rail of the
boat.

"I know what I would like to do with some of it."

"What?"

"Buy this--this boat."

"In memory?"

"Of course--you loved me then."

"And now, and always. Do you know what is the first thing I shall do
when we make Pensacola?"

"No."

I clasped the straying hand and drew her to me, looking down into her
eyes.

"Telegraph my father I am coming home."

"Is that all?"

"And that I shall bring a wife with me. Right here I end my career as
a soldier of fortune."

Under the protecting shadow of the boat our lips met.
