CHAPTER IX: In the (tat knees
the Caribs board the schooner and
overpower Dick and Rose, When
Dict, recovers consciousness he is
securely tied up• Tucu tells him
he is seeking the treasure that Cap-
tain Redfordsaid was on board,
CHAPTER X
If Tucu believed there was any
treasure hidden on the schooner,
he would search for it, spend days
overhauling every part of the craft.
He concluded finally to favor the
idea that there was something of
value aboard, and that Captain
Bedford had hidden it, By pretend-
ing that he and Rose knew of its
existence, but couldn't locate it,
they would gain time.
When Tucu appeared a few
hours later, with the first streaks
of dawn breaking in the east, Dick's
mind was made up. He met the
eyes of the old renegade with a
look of compliance.
"Tucu," he said, "you've got me
in your power, and there's no use
fighting against fate. I'll make a
new deal with you. Captain Bed-
ford has enough loot aboard to
make those smuggled jewels look
like cheap imitations."
"Thought y'said there wasn't
none,"gro.vled the man, scowling
hard at his prisoner.
Dick smiled. "That was before
I thought you knew," he replied.
"Y'wanted to get the treasure
an' the girl?"
"Wasn't any harm in that, was
there?" laughed Dick. "You'd do
as much if you had the chance,"
"Reckon I got 'em," leered the
other.
"Na," slowly, "you haven't.
"You've got the girl, but you
haven't got the treasure."
"Reck'n one goes with the other.
Shell tell when I want her to,"
"No, she won't," replied Dick
boldly, "for she doesn't know
where it is."
"The hell she don't! Y're lyin'
to one."
"All right!" shrugging his
shoulders. "Don't believe me. Ask
her!"
"lf she don't know where it is,
who does?" he demanded surlily.
"1"ain't lyin' to the ag'in!" ejacu-
lated Turu, eyeing his prisoner
suspiciously,
"When did I lie to you before?"
The other growled savagely, and
made no reply. After a while, he
asked: "What's this new deal y'had
in mind? Spit it out."
"I wanted your word you
wouldn't hurt Captain Bedford's
daughter," replied Dick slowly. "If
you promise not to harm her, we'll
help you search for the treasure.
If you find it we'll let you take it,
if you leave the schooner to us.
You don't want that. She's no
good, and wouldn't be worth tow-
ing to port."
"Reek'n she ain't a bad prize,"
murmured Tucu reflectively. "We
could get her to land if another
storm didn't come up."
"But another storm is coming,"
interrupted • Dick. "You're sailor
enough to know that. Feel the air,
and that wind—"
* * *
"There may be another storm,
an' there may be only a little
squall," he said. "I ain't sayin'
which."
"No, but you know which it
is," smiled Dick. "It's a storm,"
Tucu glanced uneasily around at
the horizon again.
"Y'can't help any in searchin' the
schooner," he decided finally. "But
y'can lie here an' watch us."
"Then you don't agree to a new
deal?"
"IE we find the treasure you an'
the girlcan have the schooner,"
was the grinning retort. "Mebbe
y'can ride out the storm an' to
land. I'll leave ?on it.
"Then it's a bargain?"
•
The half-breed regarded him
slowly before replying.
"Yes," he said finally, "after y'
show me where them smuggled
jewels is. Reck'n that's fair."
"You're not greedy, Captain
Tucu, are you?" laughed Dick.
"You want the treasure and the
smuggled goods. What do T get?"
"The girl and the - schooner,"
leered the other.
"And if the schooner goes down
in the storm I lose both." •
No, y'can swim fur it. Two on
a raft's more comfortable than one,
an' that's the way y'was when we
picked y'up."
Dick nodded. He had gained his
point. Nothing would happen to
hint or Rose while they searched
the schooner for the mythical trea-
sure. In the meantime, almost any-
thing might happen — a ship ap-
pear or a storm break,
"\Ve'll- call it a deal," he said
finally,
His ready compliance awakened
the other's suspicion.
"Y' got to help us in one way,"
he added.. "You an' that girl's got
to help us."
"Haw can we?"
"By wheedlin' it out of the cap-
tain. Mebbe he'll listen to his
daughter."
"I don't know about that; but
I'll promise to do what 1 can• Let
me see her."
The sun was rising in the east
when Dick was led by two of the
Caribs to the captain's cabin. His
arms were securely bound, but his
legs were free.
His entrance into the cabin
brought a little exclamation of de=
light from a dark corner. Rose
Bedford came forward to greet him,
"Oh, they didn't kill you!" she
exclaimed eagerly. "I was afraid
they had."
"Rose," he said eagerly, "Tucu
believes your father's got some sort
of a treasure aboard the schooner,
and he's after it. I told' him I'd
help hire find it."

Instead of meeting him with glad
eyes, her face darkened. Dick had

Barnabas and Saul Are Called
The church of Antioch had five
prophets and teachers worthy„ of
mention by name. This early Gen-
tile church became a fountain of
light and life to many other, places.
The Holy Ghost spoke to them as
they ministered to the Lord and
fasted. It was the Holy Spirit's
work to call; it was man's work to
recognize the call and set the call-
ed apart for work. But it was the
work whereunto the spirit called
that they were to beset apart.
The Spirit's Command
Every step in that early Church
was taken in prayer, prayer to
which - men gave themselves so -
heartily that they withdrew them-
selves even from necessary food to
pursue it.
The promptness with which this
Church obeyed the Spirit's com-
mand is worthy of note. The Spirit
had demanded the best they had for
the foreign mission field, and they
gave them up without a murmur.
They would have 'liked to have
kept Barnabas and Saul, but the
Spirit called them elsewhere, and
they sent them away.
No directions seem to have been
given as to where they were to go;
so they made straight for the near-
est port and thence for the old
home of Barnabas. They were true
to their commission; "theytpreach-
ed the Word of God."
Converts and Opposition
Opposition did not frighten Paul
and Barnabas; it made them the
more bold, The Word of God ac-
cording to God's crder must first
be spoken unto the Jews. But as
the Jews would not have it, it was
given to others.
The Jews ill this lesson adjudg-
ed themselves unworthy of eternal
life by putting the Word of God
from them; the -Gentiles adjudged
themselves ordained to eternal life
by believing the Word of God. In
their joy they glorified the Word
of God, and saving faith in Jesus
was exercised by "as many as were
ordained to eternal life." So it was
that the gospel message was pro-
claimed far and wide through the
country.
End of Journey
Success in a widening field
caused the returning missionaries
to glorify God. The assembled
Church heard all that God had
done with them and particularly
]tow he had opened the door of
faith unto the Gentiles. Thus 'dos-
ed the first missionary journey
which made a permanent impact
and impress upon the pagan
world.
an uncomfortable feeling that she
was searching him with eyes of
suspicion,
"I promised," he went on eager-
ly, "that we would help him search
for the treasure."
"You promised that?" she re-
peated, slowly in a cold voice.
"Yes, to gain time," he continued.
"While he's looking for the trea-
sure we may plan some way of
escape. Tucu won't leave until he's
searched every part of the schoon-
er, and that will take a day or two."
She was quiet a moment, her
eyes vaguely restless and uncer-
tain. Disk had the impression that
she was worried.
"Why does Captain Tucu think
there's any treasure on the schoon-
er?" she asked slowly.
Dick chuckled, "From the rav-
ings of your father. He heard him
chatter about the prize he'd picked
up:"
"And do you think there's any?"
she added. '
* * *
Dick was on the point of answer-
ing negatively when a queer ex-
pression in her eyes arrested him.
He glanced .soberly at her, and
then instead of putting in a denial
he countered with the questions
"Do you? Is there any treasure
on board?"
She remained noncommittal,
glancing frost bion, to the two stal-
wart Caribs, whose sleepy eyes in-
dicated no interest in the conversa-
tion. Diek became suddenly dis-
turbed in mind, If there was any
particular sunt of money or gold or
anything else of special value, he
had not improved matters by tell-
ing Captain Tucu he would help
him in the search for It. In fact,

Girl Of The Period:
Eighty Years Ago
"The low-necked dress and bold
look of the wearer are signs of the
present fast. frivolous and indecor-
ous age. The Girl of the Period is
a 'creature who dyes her hair and
paints her face; no one can say of
the modern English girl that she is
tender, loving, retired, or domestic."
Were those words written today?
No, they were written just eighty
years ago, and the trouble had
started with the alleged flaunting
of ankles on the parade at Brighton.
It was said "at the seaside most of
the young ladies are thinking of the
admiration they hope to excite and
reveal in the mincing airs they as-
sume at the approach of the oppo-
site sex."
No Hope For More
Or Better Bacon
Agriculture Department sources
said last week there was little: pros-
pect, for some months at least, of
improvement in • the quantity and
quality of bacon being sold for
hone consumption.
They pointed out that Canada, be-
cause of her declining hog produc-
tion, was having trouble meeting
her contract to supply Britain with
360,000,000 pounds of bacon this
year and likely would experience
similar difficulty in 1947.
This means that bacon, both in
quantity and quality, will continue
to be a rarity on Canadian butcher
shop counters.

Price of Bread
Remains Unchanged
There is no immediate possibility
of an increase in the price of bread
to the consumer, according 'to
Chairman Donald Gordon of the
Prices Board.
Mr. Gordon indicated .the price
line would be held at the present
consuner rate of 16 cents a loaf.

quality:
Attention was being given, he
said, to the possibility of the return
of _sliced bread for consumer de-

inated during the war.
