As he lumbered along the deck he mopped 'his face vigorously with a pocket handkerchief, and this homely action helped to convince Isis that she was mistaken in thinking him mad. His' words, too, whew he caught sight of her were not those of a maniac, "Well, missy," he cried, ' wot'll they say In Liverpool now? I s'pose they'll 'ear of this some tatty," and he jerked a thumb backward to indicate tbe un- ceasing hall of bullets that poured into the after part of the ship, The girl looked at him with an air of surd dse that would have been com- ical under less grievous conditions. She knew with a vague definiteness that death was near, perhaps unavoid- able, and it had never occur'r'ed to her that she or any other person on board need feel any concern about the view entertained by Liverpool as to their fate. Before she could frame a reply, however, Rozier seemed to recover his faculties. He stood up, walk -ed unaided to the side of the sblp and glanced ahead. "Shouldn't we try to lower a boat, sir?" •be asked instantly. "Wot's the use?" growled Coke, "Oo's goin' to lower boats while them blighters on the island are pumpin' Iead into us? And wot good are the boats w'eu they're lowered? They've been drilled full of holes. You might as well try to float a sieve." "Are none of the boats sea- worthy?" "Not one. They are knocked to pieces. Sorry for you, Miss Yorke. But we're all booked for lting- dom come. In 'arf a minnit or less we'll be on the reef, an' the ship mnst begin to break up." Coke was tell- ,vlCii' i ing the plain truth, but Heeler 8n cootL HAMMED awax. ran aft to make sure that he w¢s right In assuming the extent of the boats' damages. It was common knowledge that the vessel must be lost and that those who still lived when site struck would have the alternative of being drowned oe beaten to pieces against the frowning reeks or shot from the mainland like so many strand- ed seals It some alliance of luck and strength secured it momentary foot- hold ou one of the tiny Islets that balrred the way.

She obeyed without a worst, Indeed, she seemed to have lost the ower of p speech. ll] It car'ionsly detached way site wondered achy fleeter did not re- turn. The prayers and curses of the men surrounding bee fell unheeded nn her ears. Where was Horten? What was he doing? Why did tie not come 10 her? She felt u strunge eonfldence in him, :• 11 be had not been ttrnek down by that calamitous shell be would have saved the ship—assuredly he would hove devised some means of saving their lives. Perhaps even now h'was attempting some desperate ex- pedient. ' The thought, neared her for an instant 'Then a rending, grinding noise was followed by a sudden swerve and roll of the ship that sent her stag' ger'ing against a btrlhpeed. An out burst ' of cries and shouting rang through her brain, and a shriek was wrung from her parched throat. 13ut the Andromeda teghted herself again, though there was another sound of tearing meta.t, and the deck heaved perceptibly under a shuck. Ah kind heaven! l'isl'e came Hozler, ranging, thundering some loud order. "The port lifeboat—seaworthyl" There was a fierce rusb, In wblob she joined.

They rose, some - 110W, anyhow, hut the Androrueda, ap- parently resenting the check, lifted bceself bodily,, tilted bow upward and struck again.

Alter a few breatbless seconds sbe realized that they were standing on the forecastle, where the captain and many of the crew were clinging to the windlass and anchor and cable and bulwarks to maintain their footing. Below, beyond a stretch of unbroken deck, the sea raged against all that was left of the ship. The bridge just showed above the froth and spume of sea level. The funnel still held by its stays, but the mainmast was gone and with it the string of flags. The noise was deafening. overpower. Ing. It sounded like the rattle of some Immense factory, yet a voice was,audl- ble through the din, for Rozier was telling her not to abandon hope, as the fore part of the ship was firmly wedged in a cleft in the rocks. They might still have a chance when tbe tide dropped. So that explained why it was so dark where a few moments ago all' was light, Tris pressed the salt water, out of her burning eyes and tried to look up. On both sides of the narrow triangle of the forecastle rose, smooth overhanging walls, black and dripping. They were festooned with seaweed, and every wave that curled up between the ship's plates and the rocks was thrown back over the deck, while streams of water fell constantly from the masses of weed. She gasped for breath. The mere sight of this dismal cleft with its supersaturated air space made active the choking sensation of which she was just beginning to be aware. "I cannot breathe!" she sobbed, and she would have slipped off into the welter of angry foam beneath had hot Rozier tighteued .a protecting arm round her waist. a' "Stoop down," he said. She had a dim knowledge that he unbuttoned his teat and drew one of its folds 0003- her head. Ala, the bless- ed relief of 1t1 'Freed from the stifling showers of spray, site drew a deep breath or two. Row good he was to her! How sure she was now that if Ile had bees spared by that disabling shell he would have saved them all! Bent and shrouded as she was, she could see quite clearly downward. The ship was breaking up with inconceiv- able rapidity. Iris beard a ghastly yell from be- neath, and an eerie face appeared above the stairway. It was Watts, mad with fright and drink. He scrambled up, a. pitiable object. A couple of rats ran over his body, and as each whisked across his shoulders and past his cheek heuttered a bloodcurdling eb dcurd ht veil. A big g wave surged up into the recesses of the cleft and was flung oft ha a erenchiug shower on to the forecastle. CONTINUED NEXT WEEK.

Memory Verses, 16, 17—Golden Text, Rom. viii, 14—Commentary Prepared by Rev, D. M. Stearns. After a lesson on Pentecost and Pe- ter's first sermon stet) a chapter as Romans viii seems to be an epproprl• ate study, for in it the Spirit Is mets tloned nineteen times in connection with conversion, the daily life of the believer and the redemption of our bodies at the resurrection of the just. The epistle begins with a statement by the apostle, es a servant of Jesus Christ, that he 1005 separated into the gospel of God eoncerning His Son, Je- sus Christ oar Lord, who was with. power declared to be the Sou of God by ills resurrection from the dead (1, 1-4), He said that this gospel was the power of. God unto salvation to every one. that believeth, that 11 made him debtor to all who had not heard it. that he was ready to give it to all and that be was not ashamed of it li, 14- 101, in the following chapters be de- clares plainly that all, without ercep• tion, are guilty before God and cannot be saved by trying to be good of do good, but may he justified freely by grace through the redemption that in Christ Jesus (Iii 9-24; iv, 1-7 19.25; v 1-11; vi 23). Then in our lesson chapter. beginning with "no 0011 deumation" and eliding with "no sop. ¢ration", because of the love of God which is In Christ Jesus our Lord, he sets forth more fully the .henclts of this great redemption toevery b llerer and to the whole creation. 'Che whole chapter should be studied• omiring none of it The phrase "in Christ Jesus" (verses 1, 2, 301 seems to me to be the key to the whole chapter. Nothing more is necessary, nothing loos will suffice. for salvation or for the daily life of those who are saved. IGal, v, 6; vi, 15; Eph. 11, 10, 13; fi1, 13).

The Spirit alwaysw r works by the Word and thus nears witness to tbe believer. The witness ot the Spire is not a feeling, alt emotion, au experi- ence, but is simply a resting unwnver• !ugly on what the Spirit says to us 111 His word.

As the redeemed of the Lord we have become soldiers of Jesus Christ and are ever in a great conflict with the world, the flesh and the devil, so there will be much to en- dure in the way of trial, as well as much to do in the way of service, but the way is all, prepared for us and also the works we are to do. (II Tim. 11, 3, 4; Eph, vi, 10-18; ii, 10; Rev. ii, 10; Phil. I, 29.) God the Father, Son and Spirit are all for us (verses 26, 81, 84). Alt things are working together for our good, to make us more 'like Him whose witnesses -we are, and we aro assured that all we can possibly need is freely given to us'an Christ (verses 28, 29, 32). We shall not be the overeomers that we should be in the process of being killed all the day long (verse 36; Ps. xliv, 22) unless we lay to heart our lesson verses 15 to, 25. Tbere isreal suffering with Christ, not for our sal- vation, but in service and fellowship, for every believer, 'and we will not triumph in the conflict nor endure patiently unless we have everbefore tie the glory of His kingdom, which we are to share with Rim. The whole creation Is groaning, and never be- fore 'so severely as now (May, 1915), and there will he ho permanent deliv- erance until the time of the manifes- tatlon of the sons of God—that is, the time of our coming with Christ in His glory to Set up on earth His kingdom of righteousness and peace. It is true that i'1 we are "in Christ" we are now children of God, but not until we meet Him in the air shall we know the full meaning of adoption, the redemption of our body (verse 23 and 1 John it, 1, 2i see also Col. it, 4; Rev. iii, 23; v, 9, 10). We groan while we wait for the redeemed body at Elis coming to the air for us. The whole creation groans while it waits for Ills corning with its to deliver It from its long bondage of sin and suffering, (verses 19.231. All things are not working I'or our comfort, but for our present and eter nal good In His sight and all is be cause of Ris love from which sorb ing can separate us (verses 38. 39). if we could see the "tory which awaits es And for which 13e is fltttne ns by the all thing+ we would be neve will Ing to bear all.

Most of the seed corn pick- ed will contain much moisture. The more moisture the more se- rious will be the danger from freezing. Consequently seed corn • should be stored in a dry and J sufficiently warm place as soon • as it is picked. Moreover,it should be hung up or placed on . racks in such a way that the air . may circulate freely about every ear. If these simple directions are followed the corn will dry out rapidly, the effects of the cold winter weather will be re- duced to a miniinum and the ' corn will give the largest possi ble germination in the spring. Of course the seed should lie tested carefully before being planted ll] the spring. Artistio Excuse. "Tberer' said Sir.
