to the schooner and climbs aboard.
The girl levels an automatic at
Tucu, ordering hon away. Tucu
stalls for time while two or his ,nen
sneak on deck. In the ensuing fight
they drive. Tucu and his crew back
to the lugger. "We've got rid of
them for n tine.' Dick tolls the girl,
'but they'll return."

Site tuacic no pressing inquiry

were watching hint inquisitively.

in taking the schooner. So long

greatest favor by leaving. Perhaps
I will.
"Where will you got" she asked;
smiling with her ears and lips.
"Bach to the lupgcr."
"\1'ouldn't they kill you if thn
laid hands on you again?"
"No, not right away," he re.
plied. 'It's my supposed know-

I don't imagine Tucu would be
restrainer' by any scruples from
wreaking vengeance."
"But you didn't intend to wait
until then?" she added.
"No, I was planning to leave at
the first opportunity. I was on the
lookout for ships.'
"And this schooner being the
first, you took it to get away from
them r"
"No, that isn't quite true," he
returned, his eyes twinkling. "I
really didn't think of myself when
I accitird to change ships. I saw
what they intended to do, and
heard your defiance of them. It
was—was—well, a habit of mine,
we'll call it, of jumping in when,
ever there's a chance of an adven-
ture. I wanted to see the fun, and
Tucu had refused to let me come
aboard"

She appeared a little amused_ by
his evident attempt to avoid the
real reason. She suddenly grew
more friendly. Turning to him,
she said frankly: "I'm glad you
came, and I hope you'll stay. Since
father lost his reason, I've had
everything to do. It was the storm
and the crew — they abandoned us
right in the midst of it. Father
was down with a high fever, and
I--1—the men didn't trust Inc tt,
manage things. I think they were
superstitious about father; he talk
ed and acted in a way that fright
ened then, His mind — here lie
'contra now," she broke off in a
whisper. "Never mind what he
says. He's not responsible for
what he tells."
Captain Bedford, with a vacant
stare in his eyes, came tumbling
up the companion, mumbling and
grinning to himself. He was a
man past fifty, stout and thick -set,
grizzled of beard and hard of mus-
cles; but the mind had been
thrown out of gear by a knock on
the head, caused by a falling spar
it the midst of the storm. Catching
sight of Dick, he stopped and
blinked hard at him. Then with as
idiotic grin on his face, he ap-
proached with both hands extend-
ed.
"Is it ye, Mr. Crew?" he called
cheerily.
"He takes you for the mate,"
whispered the girl. "Humor him."
"Well, it's most time we pulled
up anchor, ain't it? There ain't
goin' to ,be a storm after all. I
told ye so — I told ye so, Mr.
Crcw1 If it wasn't for that pig-
headed superstition of yours that
an easterly wind means a big blow
yc'd believed me afore."
He came up and poked Dick
playfully in the ribs. Then glans•
ing at his daughter, he added
"Did ye tell him about our treas-
ure. Rose? No? Then Ill tell hint
picked it up—up— What's the
name of that reef now?" He plac-
ed a hand to his forehead in an at
titude of thought.
"Rui.cador Bank?" asked Dick,
smiling.
"l hat's it — Roncaclor Bank!
How'd ye know it, Ifr. Crew?
Rose must have told ye. No, ye
can't fool me—she told ye. Ye
couldn't have guessed a thing eignt
in yer life. Remember when yr
guessed ye v. -its coming down with
the measles? Hal Hal That was
a joke on ye, Mr. Crew,"

Itc stopped sudden!} and gazed
at the lugger. "What ship's that

"Coffee! Coffee! What drink's-

snorted. "That's for ladies td
children. We'll have a sip of Gut

ed broadly. "Rose can have the
coffee. but we'll drink to each oth-
er's health in good old Jamaica.
Eh?"
Dick nodded and smiled, which
seemed to please the captain, for
he descended the stairs, rubbing
his hands and mumbling gleefully

Rose Bedford was a child of the
sea, born in r small seaport vet.
lage, but bred and brought up on
the :ice under the tutelage of her
father. her mother having died at
an age when daughters have -only
the faintest conception of licit
need of maternal care. Captain
Bedford was lonely; jealous of re-
latives who gave his child a home
when he was away. and absolutely
hungry for her companionship;
and when he could no longer en-
durc the separation he literally
kidnapped her and carried her
away to sea with him.
When Dick Jordan met her she
was as competent a navigator of a
sailing craft as any man afloat, and
her knowledge of seamanship had
enabled her in the crisis to save
the bchooner after the crew had
abandoned her. Captain Bedford
had been injured by a falling spar,
and for twenty-four hours had
hovered between life and death
When he recovered the use of nit
muscles, but not of his miind, he
was worse than useless. His wild
babbling frightened 'the supersti-
tious crew, and reduced them to a
surly disorganized, mutinous mob.
Rose suddenly found that het
seamanship was of little avail
without the power to command
obedience. It upset her more than
anything that had happened to find
she was weak and helpless in a
position where her father would
have triumphed through sheer
physical dominance. The crew
disregarded her orders, and took
melons In their own hands. They
abandoned the schooner in the
middle of the storm.

100 Years Ago—
Believe It or Not
(From a menu card put out by
Honiss' Oyster House, Hartford,
Conn.)
Honiss' opened in 1845, when
women wore hoop skirts, frilled
cotton drawers, did cleaning, wash-
ing, ironing, raised big families,
went to church Sundays, and were
too busy to be sick.
Men wore whiskers, chopped
wood, bathed once a week, drank
10 -cent whiskey, and a 5 -cent beer,
worked 12 hours a day and lived'
to a ripe old age.
Stores burned coal oil lamps, car-
ried everything from a needle to
a plow, trusted everybody, never
took inventory, placed orders for
fiords a year 1- advance, and al-
ways made money.
Now 'women wear an ounce of
underwear, smoke, paint, 'powder,
drink cocktails, have pet dogs and
go in for politics. Men have high
blood pressure, little hair, bathe
twice a day, are misunderstood at
home, play the stock market, drink
poison, work five hours a day, and
die young.
Stores have electric lights, cash
registers, elevators, never have
what the customer wants, trust no-
body, take inventory daily, never
buy in advance, have overhead,`
mark-up, markdown, stock control, -
dollar day, founder's day, rummage
sales, economy day — and never
make any money.

Paul's Background and Early
Years

Phillippians 3:5-0
Golden Text; — Remember also
thy Creator in the days of thy

Paul's Citizenship
Paid declares his nationality and
his citizenship.' He was a Jew, but
boar in a Roman free city, Tarsus,
and by being born there, Paul him-
self was by birth a Roman citizen,
with all the rights and privileges
of Ronan citizenship.
Paul was proud of his citizen-
ship and :forwent no opportunity
to declare it. There was ever a fine
self-respect about the man; not
for his own aggrandisement, but
in order that those who opposed
the Lord and the message he feif
called to proclaim should realize
that lie had forfeited nothing that
became the dignity of a Boman in
following a Nazarene.
Paul's Religious Faith
Paul was a Pharisee, a member
of a Jewish sect which held rigidly
to the letter of Judaic law. As -'a
Pharisee Paul hated the followers
of Jesus. Belonging to the San-
hedrin, the governing group in Ju-
daism, he was a person of impor-
tance. He undoubtedly regarded
Jesus as an imposter and sought
to put an end to His enfluence. It
was while so engaged that Paul
was arrested and miraculously con-
verted.
' Saul's Conversion
Saul, before his, conversion, had
everything in which a Jew gloried.
But his eyes were opened acid he
saw clearly that the things that
were of such great value In his
eyes were of no value whatever in
the eyes of God, and he counted
them all but loss "for the excel-
lency of the knowledge of Christ
Jesus my Lord," He gave, them
all up and counted them as nothing
that he might find Christ and the
priceless treasures that there are
in Mini.
John Barleycorn
Not A Doctor Now
It hasn't been generally adver-
tised, but John Barlecorn has lost
his job as a doctor. Officially, that
is. Whisky is no longer to be
listed in the United States Pharma-
copoeia, says The Christian Science
Monitor.
This means that the standard
book of authority on drugs and
medicines, which is the guide and
counselor of the man behind the
prescription counter, will hereafter
omit mention of spiritus frumenti
as a remedy. The announcement
conies from those who are work-
ing on the twelfth revision.
Reputable physicians long ago
ceased the general use of whisky
as a medicine Its omission from
U.S.P. means that if the United
States ever had prohibition again,
whisky would no longer be avail-
able on prescription. Which is
nothing to worry about.
Apply Varnish
With Full l rush
Varnish should always be applied
with a full brush and "flowed" on
in a light even coat.; The vigorous
back and forth motion > ordinarily
associated witli painting should not
be used for varnish. Such a notion
causes the material tc foam under
the brush and to dry in a rough
ened- et.
Specfilks appearing on a newly
varnished surface indicate that dust
or the varnish brush was not com-
pletely clean. When a brush has
• been used in varnish and not thor-
oughly cleaned with turpentine, the
inside portion of the brush may
become coated with small soft skins
of varnish which loosen the 'next
time the brush is used and mar the
finish.
