CH.t1'TJ f. VITT: Captain Bedford
had gone crazy some days before
Dick appeared on the scene. Dick
and Rose spend 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 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 1i reached their meeting
point, she was not in sight. He
waited impatiently for her, but
when she slid not appear he grew
anxious. There was a chance that
his own delay had caused the trou-
ble. She had not waited for hits.
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 I couldn't go back
until I was sure."
"You shouldn't have done that,"
she growned. "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 nodded, and Dick hurried to
make up for lost time. In his haste
he vas careless and tripped along
with more speed than caution. He
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 mementary 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 treck 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.
* * *
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 crash.
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 his 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
groan of 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 him in the ribs, and
a black face was thrust into his.
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. "We're keepin'
her in the cabin —me an' Black
Burley."
* * *
The intended significance of the
words aroused Dick to fury. "If
you hart her. Tucu," he said slowly,
"or insult lier you'll pay with your
life. This is war between you and
me. Leave her out of it.'
"What'll y'do if 1 promise?" he
asked, smiling warily.
"Anything you ask."
"Y'll stick to y'bargain, an' show
me where them jewels was dropped
overboard."
"Yes."
"Y'tried to trick me once'
growled the other, "an' ye'l1 do it
again. 'woo ain't wurth nothin'.
I'd cut y'throat if 1 thought—"
"No, I didn't trick you," Dick
intrrruptcd. "1 interfered only when
you began war on a woman. That
wasn't part of our bargain.'
The half-breed paused, watching
bis prisoner with doubtful eyes. "1
wasn't mal:in' no war on women,"
he said finally. "Cap's Bedford in-
vited nie aboard his schoone., an'
that—"
"He'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
hint, an' his daughter am t 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
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 his wild avarice had taken
the captain seriously, and believed
there was such a thing aboard the
schooner.

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 the Son of God.—Acts
9: 20.
Profession of Faith
Profession of Saul's new-found
faith immediately followed his bap-
tist. 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 had taken
place in the arch -persecutor of the
churches. But steadily Saul grew in
power, aiming his attacks particu-
larly at the Jews with positive
proof that Jesus is the promised.
Messiah.
Preparation for further ministry
was made during the period of re-
tirement in Arabia.
Persecution Follows
Persecution followed Paul's re-
turn to Damascus. 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 him 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,
B•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
bible study.
For a whole year Barnabas and
Paul wrought with such manifest
power and success that the disciples
in their royalty to Christ now first
received 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. With his fiery zeal
they soon knew that the former
enemy of the Gospel was now its
firm proclaimer.
Coming And Going
It's almost as difficult to live
within an income today as it was
to live without one in the early 30's.
Milk Will Still
,MFS 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 ask: "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 for higher
production costs, says the Ottawa
Journal.
The whole matter of price has
beeh 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.
* * *
Coming 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 came out of
taxes.
Should the increases actually re-
sult in decreased consumption there
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
capita than the people of any other
country—Lias played are important •
part.
*
Miik has become a standard fond
in afniost every Canadfart 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 food values,
milk is still cheap, food Even as
a beverage it is, cheaper than al-
most any other that can he pur-
chased', the average b'ottl'e of 'pop'
for instance costing around a cent
an ounce. I'm comparison with what
the average U.S. housewife must
pay milk in Canada is a bargain.
In the northern U.S. tire 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-
tributors in many provinces, in-
cluding Ontario, for price ad-
vances in excess of the subsidy.
Brit labor and all costs are jumfe
fug up these days, and the costs of
dairy farmers and milk distribu-
tors are no exception. If 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.
