silo again, and OF space pondered;
then abruptly leaning, forward, he once
more fixed Tom with his keen look.
"You thought—iaet night," he began,
"that I didn'trecognize you, But I
did; I possess certain unusual powere,
an ability to see distinctly in the faint
est light being one of them. You are
the young man who followed Canis at
Rocky Cove Monday night. Now why
did you do that? I have a right to
know."
In the face of the older man's direct
manner, Tom's nervousness left him,
The powerful personality was not
without its influence; but Tom was not
the sort of chap that any man could
overawe, and his discomposure was,
chiefly owing to his ticklish position,
and his ready recognition of the fact
that it was not the sort of situation
that he was equipped to cope with,
However, he was strongly attracted
toward Willard; there was something
in spite of his oddity, distinctly likable
about the man.
"Look here, Willard," he began,
meeting the other's regard with a level
look and addressing him with a plain
bluntness, "your name is not at all fa-
miliar to me. I'll tell you just why I
'followed that chap Monday night, and
(why I was surprised when you band-
ied nie Brownlow's note. You'll see
;then that there are some things I'm
,entitled to know as well as yourself.
So we'll understand one another right
here and now."
Willard nodded, but said nothing. •
"Do you know the Powhatan club?"
Another silent nod; but the eyes be-
trayed a light of dawning comprehen-
sion.
'TM a member," pursued Tom, "and
the mysterious way in which you Peo-
ple acted in that old house across from
Us made us all curious. Why shouldn't
It? We talked about it and wondered,
time and time again—who the tenants
were; what they were up to, and all
that sort of thing. Candidly, it didn't
look right.
"Now, I've seen you come and go at
that house; I knew that you belonged
there. I saw the chap who was killed
last Sunday conte out of the came
house
I recognized you in the
d motor-
boat Monday evening, and when I aft-
terwards saw the fellow you call Cal-
ite, why, of course I followed him. Any-
body would,"
All the time Tom had been speaking
Willard sat watching him with discon-
certing intentness, He now said:
"Then your love of justice overbal-
ances your geese of caution?"
"I like to eee a square deal, if that's
'what you mean."
Willard now rose to his feet,
"Thank you for your frankness, cap-
tain Phinne " said 1d he with an air of
relief. "That explains matters. I am'
sorry I can not be so frank with you
in return. But I can't just at present;
too much is at stake," With a tired,
gesture, Be brushed back a lock of
white hair that .had fallen upon his
forehead,
"My undertaking has been too often
jeopardized, the forces opposed to me
are too powerful and too alert, for me
to chance any unnecessary risk at this
critical juncture. Will you take my
word for it that it is entirely honor-
able and proper?" Not waiting for
Tom's reply, he affirmed with much
earnestness:
"The truth is, Captain Phinney, if
right and justice do not for once mis-
carry, a great wrong soon will be cor-
rected. If you betray me, if you dis-
close anything you may discover on
board this yacht, you will bo the in-
strument of such a miscarriage. I
must remind you that you deliberately
accepted the unusual conditions of
your employment, mployment, and that as a man
of honor you can not do otherwise
than remain loyal to your employer,"
Tom himself was now standing,
"Dashed if I don't believe you!" re-
sponded he in his impulsive fashion.
"But—say—Mr. Willard ---bang It all!
That poor chap 'who was killed: that
sort of thing, you know, sticks in a
fellow's crop,"
The jet eyes were as steady as
jewels upon the masks of a graven
idol.
"Again 1 shall have to ask you to
take me on faith for the time being,"
responded Willard,_ unmoved., "I'll

"Perfectly so. It's good that we

'The watch will keep a look -out for

Whereupon Max Willard took his
rlifeless face away for good, and Tom,
'After telling Phil Mercer to get the
launch ready, returned to .the chart -
frhouse, where he sat smoking and ru-
ainating.
Reflection prompted action, and ac -
Oen made him forget his own dejec-
tion. He walked' forward, and in a
moment his regard fell upon the un-
gainly form of John Canis sprawled
Against the rail, motionless, his eyee

themselves; but John Callis seemed

Wondering not a little at this Mr.eu
instance, Tom would have passed
him by without a word; but just as
he got behind the man, Dallis stood
upright with a sudden movement and
'struck the rail a resounding blow with
his clenched fist, at the same time
spluttering an oath. He favored Tom
with a baleful glare,
"How far," he' remanded rudely, "is
It to that landing?"
Tom coolly looked him over. Be

he had a measure of dignity to main -

"Not over a hundred fathoms."
Then all at once he understood, "If

for him mightily.
There was very little to be don

he gave the latter only a divided a

But presently he said; "By the w

Mercer favored him with a question

"Big, husky, sandy -haired fellow,
isn't he? Thought so. Sulky brute."
"You've noticed him then. His

They tallied in a desultory way un-

Once seated at table, and immedi-
ately he was given an illustration of
the general fickleness of feminine na-

the name by which the Girl had ask-

ed Toni to address her, came forward,
and Torn sprang to his feet, brushing
aside Hewitt, who was holding a
chair for her, and performing the of-
fice himself,
"I was waiting for you," she told
him brightly.
Instantly Tom soared from the
depths of his gloom up to another ab-
surdly vain pinnacle of joy.
"Were you?" he cried ecstatically.
"Now I call that bully! Where are
the other ladies?"
This question, owing to the queer-
ness of everything connected with
Willard and., his secret enterprise, he
doubted the propriety of asking; but

"I have been using "Fruit -a -Lives"

They are the best medicine I have
ever tried. "Fruit-a-tives" do me the
most good -they never gripe and their
action is pleasant.

anyone situilarly afflicted.
These troubles have leftmecomplete-

for all this. A nicer pill a man
cannot take."
GEORGE MCKAY,
The enormous demand for "Fruit-a-

fact that this wonderful fruit medicine
gives prompt relief in all cases of

Tom won, blind to the intentness

he broke off abruptly and devoted his
attention to the. soup,

DUCK EGGS FOR PROFIT
Good ,Demand and Ducks Are Easy
to Care For and Handle
The production of duck eggs should
he a profitable line. Given a good
laying strain the duct: keeper should
not be without eggs for any Jong
peeled . during the whole year; it ss
)n record that a Buff Orpington duck
laid 137 eggs in as rna•sy days, 'whilst
Many clucks lay from 100 to 150 eggs
rend over during their first year. Duclr
eggs are always saleable at good
prices, and i. Is surprising wh. far-
mers do not recognize this and 1keep.
a few flocks on th- fevm.
Those who are blessed with having
a running stream, canal, or river et
the bottom of their garden will find
a flock og twenty ducks or an qui e
as profitable as the same nunilser• c;f
hens. A well ventilated house with a.
trap door at one •end for the dacks
to gain access to the water is all the
housing required, and there need be
no fear of the ducks going away one;
they get used to their house and sur-
roundings. As ducks ;re accustomed
to drop their eggs in the water they
should not be released from their
house till most of them have laid.
As the eggs are carried' very low it
is an easy Matter to tell the ducks
that are about to lay. The small
holder will also find a flock of ducks
a good investment from an egg pro -
dicing point of view. There are
many ways of keeping duces for profit,
and the modus operandi must lee left
to the would-be keepers' circum-
stances and surroundings. Eggs for
setting purposes are in excellent de-
mand during the season, and the price
per dozen depends upon the quality
of the stock birds.
It is surpriaing how a remunerative
local trade can 'be secured for duck
eggs for edible purposes. Many per-
sons prefer a duck's egg to ]Ten's
egg for breakfast, and a flock of lay-
ing ducks should prove q:;ite as profit-
able as a fleck of fowls.
FIREPROOFING SHINGLES
Paint is a Good Protection Against
Flames as it Prevents Warping
Building condition- s in Canada are
such as to make the use of shingles
for roofing houses, stables, etc., al-
most universal. Their general use, in
an unprotected condition, adds con-
siderably to the ordinary lire risk, as
well as to the conflagration hazard,
and, consequently, increases the in-
surance rate on the buildings cotr-
cerned. To overcemu this disadvan-
tage, numerous investigations and ex.
periments have been and are still ha
ing made with the object of discover-
ing a material, the application of
which will
render the>r .
shin lc oo'
fireproof, or, failing this, to ia.mure u
process of treatment of sings.s ttherd
by they may be Included in the ante -
gory of slow burning structural Ma-
terial. Thus, it has been ael11011-
strated that the use of a good quality
of linseed oilcarrying a suitable pig-
ment will materially reduce the haz-
ard. By the application of paint, the
shingles are protected from the
weather, thus preventing warping and
the formation of pockets in which hot
cinders may lodge; irregularities in
the surface are also tilled up by the
paint,
Experiments have demonstrated
that, under a one -minute exposure to
flame, painted shingles are barely
affected, while 'unpainted shingles aro
badly attacked. 'Under a three-
minute test, the .rnpainted shingles
were severely burned while the effect
upon the painted ones was such that
the actual burning was limited to the
Portion directly exposed to the flame,
the paint retarding the spread of the
fire and the charring of the wood. in
the absence of any positive fireproof-
ing material, the results obtained
from the use of paint upon exposed
shingles may be >considered one of the
best means of reducing the fire risk
on shingle roofed buildings,—Consete

Rose, Shatierock and Thistle
Everyone knows of the rose, sham-
rock and thistle as the floral emblems
of England, Ireland, and Scotland,
and, of course, the leek, though not
a flower, for gallant little Wales; and,
also, the maple leaf as the emblem
of Canada, but other nations and,
cities have their floral emblems, and
the lily seems to be the favorite.
Italy has chosen the lily, and also the
City of Florence, whose Italian name
is "Giglio," which means lily, and the
city itself is spoken of as "The Flower
of Cities and the City of Flowers."
France, ice of course, lies the lily
in the
