THE MASTERS OF MILLIONS.
Patsy barely heard Nick Carter’s closing remarks as told at the close of
the tenth chapter. He was intent upon another thought; upon a
recollection that had come to him, induced by his own facetious remark
about a desert island, and by Chick’s comment, “where desert islands
grow; upon the water.”
“Chief,” he cried out suddenly, “I’ve got an inspiration. I’ll bet a
hundred to nothing that I know where they are hiding themselves--the
three of them, or the four, if there are four. Don’t you remember the
house boat?”
“What house boat?” asked the detective.
“Edythe Lynne’s. It was mentioned at the coroner’s inquest, after she
was killed. You know she entertained a house party at Pleasantglades
last summer, while her father was away--at the time he was murdered, and
long before she could have known anything about it had she lived?”
“I remember about the house party; but not about any boat.”
“You were absent from the room at the time it was told. She entertained
her guests on the house boat, as well as at the house, at
Pleasantglades. It is kept anchored in the bay, within a mile of the
house, and is always in commission. That is where Madge and Mike have
taken Lynne, I’ll bet a cooky. Come; we can get there in an hour. I’ll
go alone if you do not care to go.”
“We’ll all go,” said the detective. “It sounds reasonable, and would
account for the idea that Lynne received while a prisoner in the wine
cellar, that Pleasantglades was the destination at that time.”
He turned to the telephone and ordered the big car to the door at once.
“It’s as sure as shooting,” said Patsy.
“Only I don’t seem to remember anything about a house boat in the
testimony at the inquest,” said the detective, as he seized his hat and
led the way from the room.
“Somebody called you out of the room for a moment when that testimony
was given,” was Patsy’s reply. “I think it was stricken out as being
irrelevant.”
“What was said about it?”
“Only that Edythe had entertained her friends part of the time on the
house boat, which is always kept anchored in the bay that juts into the
property up there. I suppose it has been closed now, and practically
abandoned for a year; but it would be an ideal place for Madge to take
her prisoner; and, of course, she knew about it, since she was one of
the guests at that time.”
“Of course.”
“Lucky remark, that, about the desert island. That suggested the idea to
me; that or Chick’s reply.”
“What was that?”
“He said--‘or where desert islands grow; upon the water.’ See?”
“Yes.”
“I’ll bet you a big red apple that we find them there, Chick.”
“You’re on. I can afford a red apple, if we do,” replied Chick.
Nick ran the car out himself, and his growing confidence in Patsy’s
theory made him get all the speed out of the machine that it contained.
He slowed down, of course, whenever there was an idea of danger ahead,
or when there was a possibility that they might be held up for speeding;
but for all that, they made splendid time, and rolled past the big
gateway at Pleasantglades in exactly fifty minutes from the time they
left the house in Madison Avenue.
It was half a mile farther to the shore of the bay where the boat was
anchored, and the distance was covered in about one minute, despite the
roughness of the road.
They all leaped out of the machine at the same instant and each sought
the shore for a small boat in which they might row out to the object of
their trip.
“There isn’t a sign of a light out there,” said Chick.
“That’s nothing,” replied Patsy. “They would keep dark in the daytime,
and darker at night when a light might be seen and investigated. Here we
are. I have found one.”
“It’s half full of water,” said Nick.
“Help me to turn it over,” shouted Patsy; and the water was soon emptied
from the boat which was found to be quite sound.
“There are no oars,” said Patsy, when that was done. “We’ll have
to--wait a minute.”
He darted away toward the boathouse on the shore, a few rods distant,
broke the padlock with a stone, and presently returned bearing a pair of
oars.
“All aboard,” he said. “If I was as certain of future glory as I am of
finding our goal out there, I’d be wearing a halo already, chief.”
“I only hope that you are right, Patsy,” was the reply. “Be silent now.
There is need of caution if they are there.”
Five minutes’ cautious rowing took them the required distance, and the
small boat was rounded up alongside the larger one without a sound to
disturb anybody who might be on board, and perhaps watchful.
But we already know what was taking place inside that house boat.
Nick Carter, followed by his two assistants, clambered aboard of it, as
it happened, just at the moment when Carleton Lynne put out one foot and
tripped Red Mike so that he fell prone upon his face at the feet of
Madge.
There was a perceptible jar as the result of that fall, for Red Mike was
a heavy man.
The detective and Patsy, who were already on the deck of the boat,
halted.
“What was that?” asked Patsy, in a whisper.
“It is the first evidence that you are correct, Patsy,” was the reply.
“There is somebody here, on this boat.”
“Well, it could only be the persons we are after; eh?”
“I think so.”
The three of them stole quietly along the deck toward a door which could
be dimly seen in the half light.
Reaching it, Nick turned the knob softly, but only to find that the door
was securely fastened on the inside.
Nick bent down to listen; his companions did the same; then they looked
at each other in amazement. What did it mean?
They could hear the faint murmur of a masculine voice, and the sobs of a
woman mingled with it. What could it all mean?
“We will smash in the door,” said Nick, in a whisper. “It is a double
door and will give way at the center. When I say three, we will all
throw ourselves against it at once. Now; are you ready? One, two,
three!”
The door gave way much more readily than had been anticipated.
Nick and Chick barely saved themselves from falling; Patsy sprawled upon
the floor inside the cabin, and almost at the feet of Carleton Lynne,
who was standing up, and holding Madge Babbington tightly in his arms.
Madge was sobbing, so she raised a tearful as well as a startled face
toward the intruders who had come upon them so suddenly.
Lynne looked at the unexpected callers as calmly as if they had been
expected, and as if their method of entrance was the customary thing.
He did not relax his hold upon Madge in the slightest degree, but rather
held her the tighter.
“Hello, Mr. Carter!” he exclaimed. “You’re just in time. How are you,
Chick? Glad to see you, Patsy. I hope all the folks are well at home.
That’s the proper thing to say, isn’t it?”
“You seem to be rather pleasantly occupied, Lynne,” Nick replied, with a
smile that was somewhat grim. “You make me feel sorry that I interrupted
you.”
“Well, you needn’t be. I’m mighty glad that you came. If you’ll take the
trouble to move that screen, you’ll see something. We just put it there
to get him out of our sight.”
Patsy moved the screen; then he burst into laughter.
Red Mike was there, of course, with some picture cords tied around his
wrists and ankles and a towel tied around his face so that he could not
talk.
“It’s all over but the shouting, Carter,” said Lynne. “Shall I tell you
about it?”
“Please do.”
“I’m awfully obliged to you for not getting here an hour earlier. You
might have been the ruin of two lives, if you had. Shall I begin with
the best part first?”
“Yes.”
“Madge and I have found out that we are very much in love with each
other. Madge is going to be a good girl, and I’m going to be a good
fellow, and we are going to spend the fortune that J. Cephas Lynne left
behind him, in bettering mankind generally, in doing good wherever we
can, and in helping those who have taken the wrong path, to get back
again to the right one.
“Yesterday--an hour ago, Carter--I was the master of millions; now, we
two are the masters of millions which shall take the form of a great
trust imposed upon us by the memory of Cephas Lynne and his daughter
Edythe, to do good, to help the wrongdoer. Now, do you want the rest of
the story?”
“I think I know it already. I suppose Red Mike came in upon you two
while you were in each other’s arms, eh?”
“Well, we were getting there.”
The detective turned to Madge, who was blushing, and appearing very
little like the Madge Babbington he had known.
“Are you sincere, Mrs. Babbington?” he asked.
“Ah, Mr. Carter, so sincere that I am the happiest woman alive; so
sincere that I want you to forgive me for all the hard thoughts I have
had in the past--and I want you to help me, too, by believing in me.”
“I can promise you that,” replied the detective. “This is a very happy
outcome of all the past months, after all.”
“It is,” said Madge. “I thank God for this moment, and that I have the
strength and the opportunity to seek forgiveness.”
THE END.
“The Midnight Message,” by Nicholas Carter, is the title of the next
volume, No. 1304, of the NEW MAGNET LIBRARY. This story has to do with
one of the most desperate and resourceful criminals Nick Carter ever
opposed.

The Street & Smith Novels
High-brow public opinion has changed radically during the past few
years, so far as placing a proper valuation on paper-covered reading
matter is concerned.
In the old days, anything between paper covers was a dime novel and,
therefore, to be avoided as cheap and contaminating.
Since men like Frank O’Brien have pointed out to the world the fact that
some of the best literature in the English language first appeared
between paper covers, such books are welcomed in the best of families.
The STREET & SMITH NOVELS are clean, interesting, and up-to-date. There
are hundreds of different titles, and we invite your careful
consideration of them from a standpoint of value and of literary
excellence.
