TU11ES, SEPTEMBER 2 19uv CHAPTER XN.V ANDY SOLOMON approached me with a cont]cieuce that pro- claimed the new leader. A. brace of revolvers swung from his belt; the tatters of his blood stain- ed garments/hung about hien. "Well, here we are," he remarked. 1 nodded, waiting for what he had to disclose.

There might be trouble. Aud you know a heap too mach.' "What do you want of me?" I de- manded. "It's just this," he returned briskly: "If you'll lay us our course to San Salvador, we'll let you go as one of us and no question asked." "If not?" 1 inquired. fie shrugged his shoulders. "I leave .'.t to you." "There's always the sea," I sug- gested, ue€gested, "•.stud It's deep," he agreed. We looked out to the horizon in a diplomatic silence. I did not know whether to be angry, amused or alarm- ed that the man estimated my clever- ness so slightly. Why, the hook was barely concealed and the bait of the coarsest. That 1 would go safe to a sight of San Salvador I did not doubt. That 1 would never enter the harbor I was absolutely certain. The choice of- fered me was practically whether I preferred being thrown overboard now or several hundred miles to southeast- ward. I thought rapidly. It might be possi- lee to announce a daily false reckon- ing to the crew, to sail the ship within rowing distance of some coast and then to escape while the men believed them- selves many hundred miles at sea. It would take nice calculation to prevent suspicion, but as it was the only chance I resolved upon it immediately. "That's all very well," I said firmly, "but you can't get anywhere without me, and I'm not going to put in two years and then keep my mouth shut for nothing. I want a share in the swag—an even share with the rest of you." "Oh. that'll be all right," he cried. "You can have it." If anything was needed to convince me of the man's sinister intentions, this too ready acquiescence would have been enough. I knew him too well. If with the great surges.

I darted up the steps. The contrast of the starry night with the glare of the cabin lamp dazzled my eyes. I stood stock still for a moment, during which the only sounds audible were the singing of the winds through the rigging, the wash of the sea and the small, sharp click of Perdosa's in- strument as he worked at the chest. Presently I could see better. I look- ed forward and aft for Pulz, but could see nothing of him and had just about concluded that lie had gone forward when I happened to glance aloft. There, to my astonishment, I made him out huddled in silhouette against the stars close to the main truck. What he was doing there I could not imagine. however, I did not have time to bother my head about him further than to rejoice that he could not obstruct me. I should very much have liked to get hold of a rifle and ammunition or at least to lay in biscuit and water, but for this there was no time. It was not absolutely essential. The dull glow of the Island was still visible. I had my pillar of fire and smoke to guide me. Without further delay I jerked loose the painter and drew the extra dory alongside. I had proceeded just so far in my movements when the most extraordi- nary thing happened. I shall try to I took their medicines tell you of it as accurately as possible years and grew worse.

At the same time a smother of salt water blew over the port rail, now far above me, to drench me as thoroughly as though I had fall- en overboard. I brushed out my eyes to find the ship smack on her beam from howling by ,ends and the wind the sea. I had company enough in the scup- pers.' Only Handy Solomon clung des- perately to the wheel, jamming his Weight to port in the hope she might pay up. Thrackles, too, his eye squint- ed along some bearing of his own, was waiting for her to drag. Presently it became evident that she was doing so, whereupon he drew his knife across our hawser. "My God," chattered Pulz at my ear, "if we go ashore"— He did not need to finish. Unless the Laughing s the •squallhad drivenher to Ieewarda scant half mile we should be cooked alive in the boiling caldron at the shore's edge. For an interminablen time, as it seem- ed to me, we lay el ss. The scene is stamped indelibly on my memory—the buliwarks high above me, the steep, sleek deck, the piratical fig - sire tense at the wheel, the snarling water racing from beneath us, the lurid glow to landward crawling up on us inch by inch, like a hungry the brave ild beast. Then almost imperceptibly y westward, we were saved. We watch- ed with a strained eagerness i.apos- sibie to describe. At each momentary gain or rebuff we uttered ejaculations. The nigger mumbled charms. Every once in awhile one of us would snatch a glance to leeward at the cruel white waters, the whirl of eddies where the was beaten, only to hurry back to sea the rock and the point of the cliff whence our message of safety or de- struction was to be flung. Once 1 looked up. Percy Darrow was leaning gracefully against a stanchion, , watch- ing. His soft hat was pp his eyes. He stroked softly his little mustache. I caught the white puff of his cigarette. During the moment of my inattention something happened. A wild shout burst from the men. I whirled and saw to my great joy a strip of sky westward between the cliff and the rock. And at that very instant a billow larger than the or- dinary rolled beneath us, and in the back suction of its passage I could dimly make out cruel, dangerous rocks a lying almost under our keel.�j1 dozen boxes and have lust finished the 1xt1x.

After mess we went on deck again. The is- land had dropped down to the horizon and showed as a brilliant glow under a dark canopy. I leaned over the rail, looking at it. Below me the extra dory bumped along. The idea came to me that if I could escape that night I could row back to Percy Darrow. The two of us could make shift to live on fish and shellfish and mutton. The plan rapidly defined itself in my brain. From the remains of the Golden Born we could• construct some kind of a craft in which to run free to the sum- mer trades. Thus we might in time reach some one Or another of the Sandwich Islands, whence a passing trainer could take us bads to civiliza- tion. There were tunny elements of uncertainty in tele scheme. but it seem- ed to me less desperate than trusting to the caprices of these men, especially since they now had free access to the liquor stores. While I leaned over the rail engross- ed in these thoughts one of the black thunderclouds that had been gather- ing and dissipating over the island dur- ing the entire afternoon suddenly glow- ed overhead with a strange white in- candescence startingly akin to Dar - row's so called "devil fires." Strange- ly enough, this illumination, unlike the volcanic glows, lows appeared eared to be cast on the, clouds from without rather than shot through them from within, as were the other volcanic emanations. At the same instant I experienced a sharp interior revulsion of some sort, most briefly momentary, but of a char- acter that shook me from head to toe. I had no time to analyze these vari- ous impressions, however, for my at- tention was almost instantly distract- ed. From the cabin came the sound of a sharp fall; then a man cried out, and on the heels of it Pulz darted from the cabin. screaming horribly. We were all on deck, and as the little man rushed toward the stern Handy Solo- mon twisted him deftly from his feet. "What is it?" he cried as he pinned the sufferer to the deck. But Pulz could not answer. He shiv- ered, stiffened and lay rigid, his eyes rolled back. "Fits." remarked Thrackles impa- tiently. The excitement died. Itum was forc- ed between the victim's lips. After a little he recovered, but could tell us nothing of his seizure. After the dishes had been swept aside from supper Handy Solomon an- nounced a second attempt to open the chest.

Perdosa, with a grin, leaned over the cover from behind and began to pick away at the lock with a long crooked wire. The others drew close about. I slipped nearer the door, imagining that in their riveted interest I saw my op- ortunit . To my surprise I caught a glimpse of legs disappearing up the companion. I took stock.

At the instant of its appearance the wind fell quite calm. Almost immediately the rectangle on the roof through which the light made its passage began to splay out like lighted oil, although the column retain- ed still the integrity of its outline. The fire, if such it could be called, ran with incredible rapidity along the seams between the planks forward and aft until the entire deck ` a esktched like a pyrotechnic display id lines of incandescence. From each of these lines then the fire began again to spread, as though soaking through the planks. All took place practically in an in- stant of time. I had no opportunity to move or to cry out. Indeed, my perceptions were inadequate to the task of mere observation. Lip to now there had been no sound. The wind had fallen. The waters passed unno ticed. A stillness of death seemed to have descended on the ship. It was broken by a sharp double report, one as of the fall of a metallic substance, the other caused by the body of Pulz, which, shaken loose from the truck by a heavy roll, smashed against the rail of the ship and splashed over- board. Some one cried out sharply. An instant later the entire crew strug- gled out from the companionway, rush- ed in grim silence to the side of the vessel and threw themselves into the sea. My own ideas were somewhat con- fused. ' 11 el - The fire had practically envel- oped the ship. I thought to feel it, and yet my skin was cool to the touch. The. ship's outlines became blurred. A dizziness overtook me, and then all at once a great desire seized and shook my very soul. I cannot tell you the vehemence of this desire. It was a madness.

They tell a story in Winnipeg about one of the largest and wealthiest wholesalil- lustrates both ythe es i stake ofe t affairs in the Canadian West just after the col- lapse of the famous "boom" and also the real solidity and recuperative power of that country. This pioneer firm had been optimis- tic during the boom, and when the tide receded it was left with a lot of bad accounts on its hands and lit- tle good business. It was struggling along trying to prevent the evil of the day being more than sufficient. The bank manager doubtless had his own troubles, but the firm thought he was worrying and hampering them unnecessarily in a time when every nerve was stretched to pay one hun- dred un dred cents on the dollar. Ordinary hints were of no avail. The banker's enquiries and instructions and state- ments of what must be done became daily mors? unbearable. One morning the junior partner of the wholesale house walked into the bank mana- ger's private office and• laid a bunch of >,-eys on his desk. "What are these?" asked the mana- ger, somewhat surprised. Those," said the merchant, "are the keys of our warehouse." "Why do you bring them here?' "Well, we have been trying for the last six months to make some money to pay off our creditors. There has been nothing in it for us but hard anxiety. 1f you think, as you work and Y seem to do, that you know more about running the business than we do, you are welcome to take the keys and start in." The banker saw that the merchant meant what he said.

Modern chem- istry, however, has come to the rescue. The peculiar taste, flavor and digestible quality of buttermilk which render it acceptable to etomaohe which will not tolerate froeh milk, are said to be due to the presence of pertain bacteria. All that le neces- sary is to introduce into fresh milk the right kind of bacteria and you have the buttermilk. This modern ohemistry hid made possible.
