Rainey had his left fist welded to the lane, his right was set In Snndy's collar, and Sandy's death clutch had twined itself Into Ritiney's ollskins, though the lad was limp, and his fare, seen through the watery flim that streamed over it, set and white. A dozen arras shot down to grasp him. Ile felt the iron grip of Lund upon his left forearm, almost wrench- ing Ills arm from its socket as he was 'Minuted; ceught at by body and legs and deposited on the deck of the schooner, that almost Instantly commenced to go about upon Its for- mer course, Ltuad bent over hint, asking him with a note that, Rniney, for all his exhnnstion, interpreted as one of real anxiety: "How Is It with you, matey? Did ye git hinged ep?" Rniney managed to shake his head and, with Limd's boughlike arm for support, got to his feet, winded, shaken, aching from his Bounding and the crash against the whale. Sandy was lying face down, one hunter kneeling across him, kneadinp his ribs to bellows action, lifting its upper body In time to the presstlte, while another worked his slack arms up and down, "That was splendid, Mr. Rainey!

"Oh, 1t was not what he did, or failed to tlo," said the girl, and this time there was no mistaking the fact that she emphasized her voice with contempt and made sure that It would carry to Carlsen.

"But it was very brave of you, and I want to ask your pardon," she concluded, with the crimson of her cheeks flood- ing all her face before she turned away, and made abruptly for the com- panion. A little bewildered, the touch of her slink but strong fingers still sensible to his own, Rainey went to the wheel. "Shall I take it over, Mr, Carlson?" be asked. "It's my watch." Carlsen surveyed him coolly. Either be pretended not to have heard the girl's Innuendo or It failed to get un- der his skin, "You'd better get Into some dry togs, Rainey," he said. "And 1'11 pre- scribe a stiff forum or grog -hot. Take your time about !t." Rainey, con- scious of a wrenched feeling in his side, a growing nausea and weakness, thanked him and took the advice. Half an hour later, save for a general sore- ness, he felt too vigorous to stay be- low, and went on deck again. Sandy had been taken forward. Lund had disappeared, but he found the giant in the triangular forecastle by San- dy's bunk. "'That you, Rainey?" Lund asked as he heard the other's tread, Then he dropped hls voice to a whisper: "The lad's grateful. Make the most of 1t. 1f he wants to spill ennything, glt all of it. Beat day's work you've done in a long while, matey. Pump thet Sandy. Pump him dry. He'll know almost as much as Tamada, an' he'll come through with it easier," "Just what are you afraid of?" asked Rainey. "Son," said Lund, simply, "I'm afraid of nothing. But they're primed for somethln', under Carlsen. We'll be makln' Unalaska terinorrer or the next day. Here's hoptn' It's the next. An' we've got to know what to ex- pect. Here's somethin' for you to chew on: Inside of forty-elght hours there's goln' to be an upset aboard this hooker an' it's up to me an' you to see we Come Out on top, If not --t" He spread out his arms with the great, gorilla -like hands at the end of them, in a gesture that supplanted words. Beyond any doubt Lund ex- pected trouble, And Rainey, for the first time, began to sense it as some- thing approaching, sinister, almost tangible, As he crossed the main cabin to go to his own room, Carlsen came out of the skipper's, Ile did not see Rainey at first and was humming a little air under his breath as he slipped a small article Into his pocket. Bis face held a sneer. Then he saw Rainey, and it changed to a mask that revealed nothing, His time stopped. "I hear the captain's sick again," said Rainey. "Not serious, I hope." Carlsen stood there gazing at him with his look of a sphinx, his eyes half-closed, the scoffing light showing faintly. "Serious? I'm , afraid it is serious this time, Rainey. Yes," he ended slowly. "I am inclined to think tt is really serious," He turned away and. rapped at the door of the girl's state- room. In answer to a low rarity lie turned the handle and went in, leaving Rainey alone.

Tamada served per- fectly and silently. The doctor con- versed with the girl in a low voice. Once or t'w'ice she smiled across the table at Rainey In friendly fashion. "Skipper enny better?" asked Lund, at the end of -the meal. Carlsen Ignored him, but the girl answered: "I am afraid not." It was not often she spoke to Lund at all, and Rainey wondered if she had experienced any change of feeling toward the giant as well as himself. Carlsen got up, announcing his in- tention of going forward. Lund nod- ded significantly at Rainey ns if to suggest that the doctor K'ns going to foregather with the hunters, and that this might he an opportunity to talk with Sandy, "Goln' to turn In," he said. "Eyes hurt me. It's the Ice In the wind." Carlsen had already vanished and the girl went to her room. The door from the galley corridor opened, and a head was milted in cau- tiously. Then Sandy came into the cabin. "Beg pardon, Mister Rainey, sir." said the roustabout, "I was through with the dishes, I wanted to have a talk with yer." His pop -eyes roamed about the cabin doubtfully. "Come In here," said Rainey, and ushered Sandy into his own quarters. "Now, then," he said, established on the bunk, while Sandy stood by the partition, slouching, irresolute, his slack jaw working as if he was chew- ing something, "what is it, my lad?" "They'd kick the sl:uftin' out of me If they knew this," said Sandy. "I've bin warned to hold my tongue. Dem- ing said he'd cut it out if I chattered. An' he would. I1t:t—" "But what?

A ;:rosperous rural population which demands a community centre where may be established business, educational, relig- ious and entertainment facilities. Where these flourish and are active it is safe to surmise that the people of that section realize and appreciate the value to them of such a centre. What Maintains It ? The towns are largely maintained by the surrounding districts. But the organization, the direction, and to a great measure the up -keep. of the inotitutions in such towns are in the hands of the business interests, together with those directly and in- directly connected therewith. Without the active business and profeursional men to supervise and govern these public institu- tion„ and undertakings no town could thrive. ho is Mainly este ?
