He left Lund primed for r'sistanee against Carlsen, against all the crew, if neces- sary, resolved to save the girl, hut, a5 Lund stayed below and the time slid by, his confidence 0000/1 011 of bin, and the odds assumed their mathemat- ical proportion, What cupid they do against so many? But he held firm In ails deter- mination to do what he could, to go down with the forlorn hope., The Karluk was bowling along northward toward landfall and the crisis between Lund and Carlsen at good speed, The weather had subsid- ed and the half gale now served the schooner instead of hindering her. Rainey turned over the wheel to a sea- man and paced the clerk. Ltmd's mys- terious hints were unsatisfactory. He could 1101 believe them without some basis, hut the giant would never go further than vague talk of a "joker" or card up its sleeve. And they would need more than one card, Rainey thought, He wondered whether they could win over Hansen, who had spoken for Lund against the skipper, and had then kept bas counsel. But be dis- missed Hansen as an ally. The Scan- dinavian was too cautious, too apt to consider such things as odds. Sandy was useless, aside from Itis good -will. lit was coved by Deming, scared et Carlsen, too puny to do more than he had done. give them warning. Tatnnc711? Would he light for the share of goad he expected to come to him? Lund had described him as neu- tral. Rut, if he knew that he was to be left out of the division? At any rate, Tentacle might provide him with a weapon, a sharp -bladed vegetable knife if nothing better. He could not class Tamada as an unimportant fac- tor. Thele was no question to Rainey but that Tamada was, by caste, above his position as sealer's cook. It wIlS true that a Japanese 'considered no means menial if they led to the proper end. Was that end merely to gain posees- siol of his share of the gold, or did Tamada ha*e some deeper, more com- plicated reason for signing on to run the galley of the Karluk? Somehow Rainey thought there was such a rea- son. CHAPTER VI. • Tamada Talks, It was an hour from the third meal, of tbe day. Tunmda was juggling the food for three nesse'anti he was do- ing it with the calm precision of one who has every detaii well mapped out and is moving on schedule.

Ilut I like to see way out" Ile mollified the bold acknowledg- ment of his neutrality, with a little bow turd a hissing -in breath. Bach of it all was a will that was Inflexible, thought Rainey. "It' Inc lose, you lose," he went on itunely, lie had conte on a fool's er- rand, he decided. "I think 1 shall get my money," said Tantndn. The Oriental gave a swift smile, that held no intrth, no friend- ship, rather, a sardonic appreciation of the situation, without rancor. "'!`hey are vet'y foolish," he said. "They melte hue cook, they eat what I serve, They say Tamada is very good cook. But he is lap, d—n Mee Sup- pose I put sontethlug in that food, that they would not taste?

The statement was so mntter-of-fact that Rainey felt his horror gather slowly as he stared at the impassive Oriental. A thought suddenly flushed over 111m. Was Tatuada in league with Carlsen'? Had he mistaken' has man? Did (.'arisen plan to have Tanmda un- dertake a wholesale poisoning to se- cure the gold himself, providing the drugs? Was it a friendly hint from the Japanese? When liabley's watch was ended and he was Closeted with Lund In the latter's cabin, the giant promptly quashed all discussion of Temada's attitude. "I'll put no trust In any slant -eyed, Yellow -skinned 'tee eater," he an- nounced emphaitiuttly, "They're against us, race an' religion, They want Calleornilt, or rather, the Pncific must, tut' 111'y think they're golu' to get it.

What Makes a Town ? A prosperous 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. hat rw "'al ^t tai ,s it ? The towns are largely maintained by 1110 surrounding districtk. But the organization, the direction, and to a great measure the up -keep, of the in. ti'tntions in such towns are in the hands f e business interests to 'ether with those direct! and in - t1, >, g Y, directly connected therewith. Without the active business and professional men to supervise and govern these public install. - Hone and undertakings no town could thrive. ' ho is ;,+•,ainly Affected? Every citizen either in or about a town 01,,011(1 be concerned in geeing to it that they do their part in carrying on any goad cause which may be promoted, Wither by financial or active support. Only in this way will any town prosper and develop as it should. Publicity is Revuired In promotion work your local paper takes the leading part, It is ever the champion of worthy causes and philanthropic and patriotic undertakings. But to function properly, and fully carry out 1115 natural prerogatives, it must in turn have the financial support of the community it serves.
