he takes the old man below. When
ucu and his crew tie up and pre -
are to board the ship, she orders
them to cast off, Tucu refuses, say;
'hem
that the old man, who was, the
captain, had invited him aboard.
Dicke aboard the lugger, hears the
trend of the conversation.
CHAPTER VI
It was a bold challenge, deliv-
ered in a voice that never quaver-
ed. Dick smiled his admiration
She was capable of handling the
situation. He made a bet with him-
self that she would force the men
back through sheer will power and
bravado.
But neither the girl nor Dick
had figured upon the craftiness of
old Tucu. Anticipating some such
holdup, the half breed had been
playing for time until two of his
men could work unobserved along
the side of the schooner and climb
up the rigging back of the girl.
Neither of them was aware of this
until her father, the demented
skipper of the schooner, suddenly
turned up again and announced his
presence with glee. He had seen
the. -two Caribs crawling up and
instead of repelling the men rush-
ed to offer assistance.
* * *
"Come aboard, mates!" he cried.
"I71 help ye. It's a great prize I've
picked up—so much money that I
don't know what to do with it.
"Come aboard, an' I'll show ye."
The game was up. The girt turn-
ed a horrified gaze at her father,
and then swung back again just h
time to see Tucu make a leap for
the deck. As if determined to pun-
ish him for his audacity, she op-
ened fire at short range. With a
growl of pain, the half breed drop-
ped to the deck, with one arm
limp and useless.
'Damn her. Break her neck,
Burley!" he growled.
But Black Burley had no inten-
tion of facing the gun pointed at
him now He dropped out of sight
behind the bulwark, crowding
those back of him into the water.
She would have driven them in-
to their boat at the point of her
gun if the two, helped on deck by
the old skipper, had not attacked
in the rear. When she saw them
running toward her, she gave a
little cry of alarm, and for the
first time seemed to Iose her
nerve.
* * *
Tucu raised his voice at the two
Caribs, urging then to the flank
attack. The crash of the pistol
had evidently stunned Captain
Bedford, for he stood helpless and
amazed with mouth wide open.
Dick at this juncture decided to
cast his lot in with the girl. The
two Caribs had to pass close to
hiss. When the first came abreast
of his hiding place, he shot out a
leg and tripped him. The second
partly stumbled over the first.
Quick as a flash Dick landed a
blow with his fist on the point of
the man's jaw, and completed the
fall.
Bath were armed with long
curved knives that for ugliness
could not be beaten. Before either
could recover from the surprise,
he relieved them of their weep
ons. Then giving the first one a
kick he ran in the direction of the
girl, who, with Tucu, had been
watching hips with amazement,
"Keep them covered!" Dick
called. "I'll take care of these
two. Shoot the first head that hobs
tip,"
Encouraged by the assistance
that had so miraculously come to
her, the captain's daughter turned
more fiercely than ever upon the
leader.

get over that rail." she said in a
menacing voice. "If you're not

led itself in the woodwork so neat
that he dropped out of sight again
"One!" began the girl, "Two!"
'r icti growled and showed his
teeth; but hit eyes were upon
Dick, whose interference had
aroused him to furious hatred. "I'll
cut y'heart out, y'traitorl" he
breathed thickly.
"Three! Four!" counted the
girl.
At the seventh count, Tucu
picked himself up, slowly and
painfully, made his way over the
side. Dick returned to the disarm-
ed Caribs, and with their own
knives as weapons drove them in-
to the sea. When they disappear-
ed, leaving the deck cleared of all
enemies, he hurried to the girl's
assistance. She was peering over
the side of the schooner to see if
the crew were leaving in their
boat,
"Keep back!" Dick warned.
"They may shoot!"
She nodded and stepped cau-
tiously behind the bulwark for
protection. Dick glanced around
for some weapon. A loose spar,
as heavy as a man, and twenty
feet long, attracted his attention.
Picking it up, he carried it to the
side of the schooner, and with a
heave threw it outward so that it
jure grazed the top of the rail.
It rolled over with a clatter,
carrying everything with it. There
VMS a growl and scream below
that informed hits his ruse had
succeeded. In its descent the long
spar had knocked three Caribs in-
to the sea, and falling on the lug-
ger's small boat nearly smashed
the bottom out of it.
Captain Tucu evidently decid-
ed that retreat, until he could re-
organize his forces and plan a
new attack, was the better part of
wisdom. He bellowed a command
to his men to pull away from the
schooner, and a few moments la-
ter Dick and Captain Bedford's
daughter saw the boat returning to
the lugger.
* * *
"We've got rid of them for a
time," Dick said, glancing in the
direction of the lugger, "but
they'll return."
She nodded, following his eyes;
then turning to him again,. she
asked' "Were you with them?"
"Yes," he admitted, 'but not of
them."
She frowned and raised her eyes
inquiringly. 'They picked me up
a few days ago," he explained. "I
was about dead—been in the wa-
ter for four days and nights.
When they rescued me," he add-
ed, smiling at the recollection of
in "I wasn't in a mood to inquire
for credentials. I was glad to get
any help. Later I found out what
they were."
"What are they?" shs asked
quietly.
•qutootloaaq 'uauuaagsl; opeD„
ers, sea scavengers, pirates — al -
anything and everything,"
"I see," she murmured thought-
fully, "Then you think they want
to steal this schooner?"
"They took it for an abandoned
derelict at first," he replied truth-
fully, and, of course, as such it
was their legitimate prize. They
were surprised and disappointed
when they saw you and your fa-
ther aboard it."
"I can understand that," she re-
plied, "but when—when 1 ordered
them away, they didn't act as if—
if—e" She stopped and frowned
again, "But you said they were
sea scavengers and pirates," she
added, nodding. "I suppose that
means they intend to take the
schooneranyway, lawfully or un-
lawfully."
"I'm afraid so. Captain Tucu, 1
imagine, isn't the kind to be eas-
ily discouraged. If he's decided
the schooner's worth it he'll return
later. Besides," soberly, "he has
another reason for making a' sec-
ond attempt."
"What is that?" she asked.
He laughed and shrugged his
shoulders. "For one thing he'll
want to get even with tete for in-
terference, and second to get hold
of those jewels I told hlixl about"

Frozen Pie Dough
Good, For Months
Pretty soon you'll be able to mix
dough—the kind that goes into
cakes and pies, not the pocket —
for use six months later, that is,
if you ever feel the need to mix
dough that far' in advance.
This enlightening information
came from Sven Young, research
expert for a food processing com-
pany who addressed a conference
of Canadian restaurant operators
and told them they would have
first Brack at this newfound mix-
ing method.
Mr. Young said experiments
had shown that dough kept in a
frozen state for six months could
retain its flavor when formed into
rolls o: pie crust.
Sapphires and rubies are used in
meters and delicate instruments in
airplanes and tanks.

Lesson
Jesus and the Law of Love
Psalm 119:33-38; Matt, 5:43-48
Golden Text — "Love workctb
no ill to his neighbor: therefore,
love is the fulfilling of the law." --
Romans 13:10.
Prayer for Knowledge
The humble seeker. moved by
faith in God, trusts that He will
teach him, studies God's Word
prayerfully, and willingly lees.
What God teaches us we are to
put into action. •e.a
The Psalmist prays for under-
standing. Not only will he cots
cern himself with the letter of -the
law, but with its spirit. He trail
enter into- cooperation with the
Lord with all his heart, knowing
his heart's tendency to. perverse-
ness. He is willing to accept the
discipline of the Lord.
The vanities of the world will
pervert those who are not estab-
lished in God's Word. It is the ac-
ceptance of the authority of God's
Word that begets in us a whole-
some fear. It is a reverential awe
in our attitude toward God by
means of which we fear to dis-
please,
is
please, grieve or offend Him.
The Law of the Kingdom
Love should go out to all, friend
and enemy alike. By Iovng our
enemies we shall ourselves be sons
of God. for the son is like the
father, and this is the way the
Heavenly Father acts — He re-
turns blessing for cursing, kind-
ness for hate. To love them who
love us is no indication of grace;
even the publicans do the same,
The Perfection of God
The perfection of God is held up
as our standard. The immediate
reference is to perfection in love;
loving enemies as well as friends,
bad as well as good, But it is
clearly implied that in all things
God's character is our standard.
Nothing short of absolute likeness
to Hing should satisfy us.
The final exhortation is that we
shall be like God. If God can be-
stow on the worst of men His
providence and grace, who are we
to withhold charity to others. It is
the longsuffering of God which at
last wins many to repentance, If
we only stop to think of the tender
mercies of our God we shall be im-
mediately moved to scorn our own
pettiness and censorious attitudes
toward others, Only thus can we
be perfect as our Father in Heav•
en is pelted.
