"All right, s111," Rainey aagwered,
getting n thrill 1(t this Hrst actual i1r-

seemed, tone not to be one of the rep-
resentatives of the seamen. And
Cnrlsen had been smart enough to
forestall Lund's demand for Rainey by
taking some of the wind out of the
giant's .sails and doing the unexpected.
Unless the hunters had suggested that
Rainey be present, But that wits hard-
ly likely, considering that he was to
be left out of the deal,

But the bout between the two MIS

11141110 any veneer of diplomacy, their
en10113' umnil'eah)g itself in the raw.
The issue µvas growing tense.
Rainey fancied that Carlsen was not
entirely sure of his lolloa•ing, 01111 re-
lied upon Lund's indignant refuse] of
terms to heel( 1(p his plans of getting
rid of him decisively,
CHAPTER VII,
The Show -Down.
"Rainey can see the skipper," said
Carlsen carelessly.
"All right" said Lund, "Will you do
that, Rainey? Now'?" And Rainey
had a fleeting fancy that the "giant
winked one of his blind eyes at11101,
though the black lenses were decefv-
Ing.
He went below immediately and
rapped on the door, a, 111118 surprised
to see the girl appear to the opening.
The drawn expresslou of her fare, 1110
strained faint smile with which she
greeted 11110, the hopeless loin( in her
eyes, startled hem.
"I wanted to see your father," he
said in 11 low voice.
0110 told 11111) to enter,
"Ile is in 11 stupor," site said, "He
has been that way since last night, fol-
lowing a calinp8e. I can barely find
1110 pulse, but its breath shows on
this,"
She produced a small mirror, little
larger than n dollar, and held it before
her father's lips. When she took it
away Rainey saw a trace of moisture.
"('tlrlsen Gimlet rouse him?" 110
asked.
"('anIIOt-or will not," she answered
in a Valve that held a hard quality for
all its despondency.

She stopped, and Rainey supplied
the gap, sure that he was right.
"If you would nhnrry him?"
The girl nodded. "loather will do

Carlsen took the head of the table.
Lund faeed 111111 at the other end. All

acters, were present, but only three

ranged themselves on Other side of
the 10b1e, live and five, with Rainey
on Lund's right. The girl wits nut
present, Yet bel• share 4011s an Impor-
tant factor.
Lund sat with folded arms, his
great body relaxed. Now that the
table was set, the cords ell tlenit, and
1110 first play about to he elude, the
giant shed his tenseness. Even his
grim fate softened a trifle. He seemed
to regard the affair with a certain
amount of humor, coupled with the
zest of a gambler who loves the game
whether the stakes are for death or
dollars.
Carlsen had a paper under his hand,
but deferred its reading until he had
addressed the meeting.
"A ship," he said, "is 11little com-
munity, a world in itself. To its safe-
ty every member is a necessity, the
lookout as much as the loan at the
wheel, the common seaman, the navi-
gator. And, when a ship is engaged
In a certain calling, those who are
hired as experts in that line are equal-
ly essential with the rest. Each man's
responsibility being equal, his reward
should be also equal,
. "Payment for all services coshes on
this voyage from an uncertain amount
of gold that Nature, mother of us 1111,
and therefore Intending that all her
children shall share her heritage, has
washed up on n beach from some
deep-sea veil and thus deposited upon
an uncharted, unclaimed 151811d: It Is
discovered by an Indian, the discov-
ery Is handed on to another."
"lletuiln' ate." Lund seemed to be
enjoying himself. Despite the fact
that Carlsen was presiding and most
evidently assumed the attributes of
leader, despite the fact that ten of
the twelve at the toile were arrayed
against him, with the rest of the sea-
men behind them, Lund was decided-
ly enjoying himself.
"Share and share alike," he said.
"I've got yore drift, Carlsen. Let's
get clown to brass tacks. The idea is
to divvy the gold into equal parts,
ain't it? I3ow does she split? There's
twenty-five souls aboard. Does that
mean you split the heap into a hun-
dred parts an' each one gits four?"
"Not" It was Denning who an-
swered. "It don't. The Jap don't
come In, for one."
"A cook ain't a brother?"
"Not when he's got a yellow skin,"
answered Deming, "We'll take up a
collection for Sandy. Rainey ain't in
on the deal, We spilt It just twenty-
two ways. What have you got to say
about it?"
Iris tone was truculent, and Carlsen
slid 1101 appear disposed to check him

temper o11 1112' hunters.
"You Hgger we're all equal aboard,

nodded toward one of the seaman
delegates who listened with ills slack
month agape, scratching himself un-
der the ar111pit-"tare all 0110111?"
I)001111g cast a glance at Morris and,
for just a moment, hesitated.
Barris, squirming tinder tete look of
Deming, which was aped by the sud-
den scrutiny of all the hunters, found
speech: "Flow 111 11-•11 rlld you'know
I was here?" he demanded of Lund.
"I ain't opened my mouth yet I"
"that ain't the truth, Harris," re-
plied Lund composedly, "It's anus
open. But If you want to know, I
smelled ye."
There was a guffaw at the sally.
Carlseh's voice stopped It,
"I'll answer the question, Lund, Yes,
we're all equal, The world is 'not a
democracy. Harris, so far, hasn't had
a chance to get the equal share that
belongs to him by rights. That's what
I meant by saying that the Harluk
was a little world of Its own. We're
all equal on board."

The nearest men took (p the body
of the doctor and they all filed for-
ward, silently obedient to the man
who ordered them.
The girl shuddered. Rainey saw'
that Lund was exhilarated by its vic-
tory, that the primitive fighting brute
was prominent. Carlsen had tried to

Rainey told hem.
"We'll see what we can do for hem,"
said Lund. "He's better off without
that fakir, that's a cinch. Called me a
murderer," he went on with a good-
humored laugh. "Got spunk, she has,
And she's a trim bit. A slip of a gni,

Rainey?"
He smiled as if the prospect suited
him, A suspicion leaped Into Rainey's
brain. Lund had said he would not see
a decent girl harmed. But the man
was changed.He had
fought and won,
and victory shone In his eyes with a
glitter that was immune from sym-
pathy, for all his air of good -nature. .
Ile had said that a man under his
skin was just an animal. His appraisal
of the girt struck Rainey with appre-
hension. "To the victor belongs the
spoils." Hon,ehew the quotation per-
sisted. Whet 1f Lund regarded the
girl as legitimate loot? He might have
talked differently beforehand, to as-
sure himself of Ratney's support.

What Makes a T wn ?
A lrl:sperous 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 `--` aantains R ?
The towns are Largely maintained by the surrounding districts.
But the organization, the direction, and to a great measure the
up -keep. of the in:-fil'tutions in such towns are nn the hands
of the business interests, together with those directly and in-
directly connected therewith. Without the active business and
professional men to supervise and govern these public institu-
tions and undertakings no town could thrive,

y
ectd?
Every citizen either in or about a town should be concerned
in seeing to it that they do their part in carrying on any good:
cause Which may be promoted, either by financial or active
support. Only in this way will any town prosper and develop
as it should.
Publicity is ' '>Yaq .fired
In promotion work your local paper takes the leading part.
It is ever the champion of worthy causes and philanthropic
and patriotic nandertakings. But to function properly, and
fully carry out Rs natural prerogatives, it must in turn nave the
financial support Of the community it serves. When needing
advertising or printed matter always first think of
