An expression of surprise appeared on the pale face of the younger man. "I guessed as much," said Jen, grimly. "And who drugged you?" "I never follow any one's example, major," he said, dryly. "It is always my custom to act independently.".

"That's all right, old pal," Griffin encouraged her. "You're almost into port now. Keep a stiff upper lip till we land you." Exhausted by the few words which he had spoken, Jaggard fell back on his pillows in a dead faint. Seeing that further conversation was impossible at the present moment, Jen left the patient to the tender attention of Anne, and withdrew to seek David. He found him in a melancholy mood, pacing up and down the lawn before the window of the smoking-room. On perceiving his guardian, Sarby turned pale, for he thought that Jen had come to continue their previous conversation, and so force his confidence. But the first words of the major at once undeceived him. "Yes. I was taken advantage of for once in my life. A cunning woman, that Dido. She got permission to see me in prison, and to talk to me alone, under the pretense of telling me about her evidence. Knowing that I could compel her to do what I wished by means of the Voodoo stone, I saw her with pleasure, as it was my intention to put the words likely to get me off--to prove my innocence--into her mouth. However, while I was talking to her, she suddenly produced a phial of the devil-stick poison and threw it in my face. Of course, I instantly became unconscious, and it was then that she wrenched the talisman off my watch-chain." "I promise you," said Jen again. "Please go. Miss Dallas. There is no time to be lost, and you must not be found here.".
