Walsh SYNOPSIS CHAPTER VIII: captain Bedaord had gone crazysome days before Dick appeared on the scene. Dick and. Rosespend the night watching for the return of Tucu and his Ca - ribs. CHAPTER IX Dick walked slowly forward again, keeping a more watchful eye in the direction of the lugger, and listening for any strange e sound. Four times he made his circuit and met Rose, who reported every- thing quiet and peaceful aft. Then on the fifth round, he was delayed a little by a noise in the water that sounded suspicious. When he reached their meeting point, she was not in sight. He waited impatiently for her, but when she did not appear he grew anxious. There was a chance that his own delay had caused the trou- ble. She had not waited for him. Unwilling to go back until assured of her safety, he lingered until she appeared nearly ten minutes later. "1 missed you," he exclaimed in a whisper, "and t couldn't go back until I was sure." "You shouldn't have done that," she grow•ned, "Something may have happened forward while you were here.' "I'll hurry back," he replied in relife. "But wait for me on the next trip. I must know you're safe." She .rodded, and Dick hurried to make up for lost time. In his haste he was careless and tripped along with more speed than caution. ide was still thinking of the girl when a black shadow rose up to confront him. Startled, and not sure that it wasn't an optical illusion, he paused instead of raising his gun to fire an alarm. That mernentary hesitation was his misfortune. By the time he was convinced a burly Carib was facing him on the deck of the schooner, two other dark forms had sprung out of the gloom back of him, Dick raised his gun to shoot, but a hand knocked it upward, while one of the long, powerful hairy arms of Black Burley -encircled -his. neck and crushed the wind out of him. Dick heard the crash of his own gun in the air, and as an echo of it another aft. s * * He fought with all the ferocity of one imbued by a higher instinct than self-preservation. Biting, hit- ting and kicking he gave his burly antagonist more than he bargained for. There was an even chance of his wriggling away from the power- ful arms when another Carib tripped him, and brought him to the deck with a cfash. In falling his head struck some- thing hard and unyielding. A show- er of stars flashed before his eyes, and with a sigh he lapsed into un- consciousness. When Dick recovered, and his wits returned to him, the Caribs were in full possession of the schooner. He needed no further verification of this than hie own helpless condition. Trussed up se- curely, he was lying on his back,. with his face turned up to the moonless sky. * * * A groan escaped his lips—a groanof mental agony. Their ene- mies had taken the schooner' so easily that their defense seemed like a farce. He groaned again. This time a foot prodded hien in the ribs, and a black face was into his. thrust Dick recognized the crafty one of Captain Tucu, leering with triumph. Dick stared at him. "Where s Captain Bedford's daughter?" he asked. "Did she get hurt?" Tecu smiled cruelly, realizing he he had another weapon of torture in his hands, "She ain't dead neither," he grinned. "Were keepin' her in the cabin—me an' Black Burley." * * The intended significance of the words aroused Dicic to fury. "1f you hurt her, Tucu." he said slowly, "or insult her you'll pay with your lifeThis is war between you and me. Leave her out of it.' "What'll y'do if I promise?" he asked. smiling warily. "Anything you ask." - "Y'lI stick to y'bargain, an' show me where them jewels was dropped overboard:" "Yes," • "Y'tried to trick me once: grov:led the other, "an' ye'll do it again. 'word ain't wurth nothin'. I'd t tt y'tltroat if i thought—" "Ivo, 1 didn't trick you," Dick intern •ptecl. "I interfered only when you I •';an war on a woman. That wan t part of our bargain.' The half-breed paused, watching his I'rieoner with doubtful eyes. "1 wasn't malcin' no war on women." he said finally. "Cap'n Bedford in- vited me aboard his schoone,, an` that- "1•le's crazy, you knew. He wasn't responsible. The schooner was in command of his daughter." "He ain't so crazy that he don't remember some things,' was the retort. "Soon's we can find that treasure he's picked up, we'll leave." "What treasure?" Captain Tucu winked and laugh- ed. "Y'don't know nothin' 'bout it, I suppose. 'Tain't likely y'heered him, an' his daughter amt said nothin' to ye." * * * - Dick was puzzled and mystified. He shook his head finally. "I don't know what you're talking about. If there's any treasure on the schooner, I don't know of it" Tecu was unconvinced. "Y'lay there an' think about it. Mebbe y'll remember, or we'll find it.' When he walked away in the gloom, Dick had ample opportunity to reflect. There came to his mind a vague remembrance that in his crazy chatter Captain Bedford had made reference to a prize—a treas- ure—he had found. Perhaps old Tecu in hie wild avarice had taken the captain seriously, and believed there was such a thing aboard the schooner.

Sunday School Lesson Paul Begins His Ministry Acts 9: 19-22; 11: 25-26; Galatians 1: 17-24. • Golden Text—Straightway in .the synagogues he proclaimed Jesus, that He is Ole Son of God.—Acts 9: 20, - Profec;ion of Faith Profession of Saul's new-fo`ttnd faith immediately followed his bap- tism. During his stay in Damascus he preached in the synagogues de- claring that Jesus of Nazareth is the Son of God The disciples were amazed at the marvelous change which Intel taken place in the arch -persecutor" of the churches. But steadily Saul grew in power, ainrng his attacks particu- larly at the Jews with 'positive proof that Jcrus is the promised itfcssiah, - Preparation for further ministry was made during the period of re- tirement in Arabia. Persecution Follows Persecution followed Pauls re- turn to l);unaseus. He preached so effectually that he raised the ire of the Jews who would not accept his doctrine but could not answer his argument, Information, however, reached Paul in time for hint to es- cape martyrdom through the aid of his fellow disciples. Proclamation of the • gospel throughout Cicilia and in all that region followed Paul's settlement for four or five years in his native city of Tarsus.

Power of Paul's Ministry To secure Paul as his assistant, P,arnabas made a trip to Tarsus and succeeded in his mission. Un- der their combined leadership .the church at Antioch assembled regu- larly for worship and systematic lribie study. For a whole year Barnabas and Pant wrought with such manifest power and success that the disciples in their foyafty to Christ now first receiycd the designation of Christ- ians. Paul then went into the solitudes of Arabia where, alone with God, his whole. past was adjusted to his new faith and purpose. Then he re- turned to Damascus to preach until driven out by persecution. Paul Proclaims the Gospel It was three years after his con- version that Paul went up to Jeru- salem. As a storm of persecution was gathering there against him he left for his native country where he preached until called to assist Barnabas in the great revival at Antioch. He declared that he was "unknown by face." But that did not stop Paul. \Vith his fiery zeal they soon knew that the former enemy of the Gospel was now its firm proclaimcr.

Milk Will Still Be Cheap Food In Comparison With Average Prices in United States It Is a Bargain Now that Canadians know de- finitely that they are going to Pay more for the milk delivered to their doorstep, many will aakc "Is it ne- cessary?" The man who produces the milk, the dairy farmer, will no longer, get his . Dominion bonus of 55 ,cents and the' consumer must now pay that amount plus a further increase to compensate forhigher production costs, says the Ottawa. Journal The whole matter of price has been turned over to the Provincial Boards, who for weeks now have been hearing the claims of farmers for- increases and the demands of consumer representatives that it will be injurious to the health of Can- adians if milk consumption is re- duced as a result of too high prices. There is something to be said on both sides. * * * Corning on top of the loss of the two cent` a quart consumers' sub- sidy earlier this Summer, the fur- ther increase of three cents on Oc- tober 1 is going to dent the house- wife's budget. But it also means relief for the Dominion Treasury as the major' part of the increases which the consumer will be called upon to pay formerly cane out of taxes. Should the increases actually re- sult consumption sulk its dee tion there p will be real cause for worry. Can- ada's general standard of health has been on the upgrade, and milk consumption—we now use more per catiita than the people of any other country—has played an important part. * * * Milk has become a standard food in almost every Canadian home. Even at 15 cents a quart milk will remain one of the cheapest foods which the housewife can purchase. At nearly three ounces for a cent, and considering all its rood values, mi is is still cheap rood. Even as a beverage it is cheaper than al- most any other that can be pur- chased, the average bottle of "pop" for instance costing around a cent an ounce. In comparison with what the average U.S. housewife must pay. milk in Canada is- a bargain. In the northern U.S. the 32 -ounce quart (the Canadian quart is 40 ounces) costs 17 to 22 cents. Most controversy will be over the demand of producers and dis- trihutors in many provinces, in- cluding Ontario, for -price ad- vances in excess of the subsidy. But labor and all costs are jump- ing up these days, and the costs of dairy farmers and milk distribu- tors are no exception. 1f only an increase equivalent to the amount of the subsidy loss were allowed, about one and a half cent a quart, neither farmers nor distributors would get anything more than they do at present. - Cleopatra is said to be the. first lady to change the color of ter Mair: She used henna.
