"Great." "I'll get ready now," Ivor reached for his fountain pen, and scribbled a message on a sheet of paper, then two others, BY BOB EDEN "We'll " he said. "Some- one should one of them.

"Probably some in the tool kit," Joan offered. : But there was no string to be found, and when Brooks looked help- lessly around for something to tie the messages with, Joan came to the rescue with some bicycle tape she had discovered. She wrap the bits of paper around the three ob- jects. When everything was finished, she looked in dismay at Brooks. "I meant to read what you wrote!" she exclaimed, "That's easy.

The moon traced a dancing path on the indigo waters. Now and then over the bright path something golden gleamed, some- thing larger than the moonbeams-- a bird, Joan thought, Fill Up for Winter The wise man never waits till is driven by necessity, Secure your CONGER COAL now while best services are available, , Concer Leman Coar Co.

Tey SE Nir we giant ies, their great out- spread, Jiden wings, shot with streaks of fire as the moonbeams be- came tangled in them, only to fall back into the sea in a short time. Thousands of them were' reaching for the moon, dancing like flaming ar- rows--their bodies glistening. Silver they must be, but the moon was turning them to gold, Silver like the body of the Sky Maiden, Joan spoke half out loud as she sat en- tranced, looking at their supple wings. | Collins was swerving close to the water now, so that they could see them to better advantage, "Shoot one, Joan!" he taunted. "They're too beautiful," she retort- ed. She turned to Brooks. "Why do they come out at night--to seek the moon?" "They come to feed, always at night, 'as if they were afraid to be seen in the daylight, Light has some mysterious fascination for them, They probably see the moon from under the water and want it too, Even as you and 1." "Is there anything you do not know?" Joan laughed. "Oh, yes. I would like to know what Bam wants. She is clawing my leg through my putter, the devil!" "I'm not so smart, but I know what she wants," Joan said, "It's milk." She emptied some of the milk owder into the cup of a thermos Pottle, added some drinking - water, stirred it thoroughly until it was smooth, then held Ah in her lap as the little Persian eagerly lapped the mixture, Ivor laughed and turned back his charts, Soon Bam had finished her lunch and lay in Joan's lap, purring con- tentedly between repairs to her (toilet. Joan nodded sleepily as she {watched the kitten wash its face with its tiny curled-up paws, and soon dropped off to sleep. A shout in her ear awakened her. She looked up, startled, It was Ivor. "Another ship!" he cried. Joan peered down at the sea through the window, and soon made out a dark shape lowing along, spray curling off its Lo like golden foam. Tiny red and green lights twinkled, and she saw a shaft of yel- low light as someone opened the fo'c'sle door near the stern to peer up into the darkness at the fleeting silver shadow of the Sky Maiden, "Must he a tramp freighter," Ivor yelled, "No passenger decks." Joan nodded, a strange feeling of friendliness toward the unknown ship and its crew sweeping over her. Tears came to her eyes for'a mo- ment as she felt a touch of home- sickness. How could it seem to be home, now? In Cleveland she would to be sitting in the porch swing on the THE WORLD HAS A NEW AND FINER MOTOR CAR Se pe ms Gl lam a "% " Wircome!

Oh, maybe they would be at the Stillman, or the Allen, see- ing a movie, She remembered there had been one advertised before she left, An airplane adventure picture. The "Sky Pirates" or something like that. Sounded good and blood- curdling. "Huh! I'm a fine one," she gig- gled to herseli. "Here I am, almost a female Lindbergh, 'daring the perils .of the deep,' as the newspa- pers always say, the first girl to fly the Pacific and thinking about a secondhand thrill in a movie theater." Ivor, wha had been looking out over the moonlit sca, turned sudden- ly and saw Joan's smile. He moved over on the floor heside her, so he wouldn't have to bellow so loudly to carry on a conversation, "Why so happy?" he asked. . "I was just thinking how romanti a trip like this would be if the movie folks did it," she answered, her happy smile dimpling the corners of her mouth, Ivor's brow wrinkled in interroga- tion, "Oh, they'd have us battling with giant sea birds, and racing sharks, and hanging by your heels from the fusclage, doing all sorts of didoes," Ivor laughed, appreciatively, "And the handsome hero fighting a sword duel out on the wings of the ship with the villain for the lady fair," he added, "Not much romance in this, eh?" "Not movie romance," Joan replied, yawning slightly, "Why don't you take a little nap?" "Oh, no, not for worlds. I wouldn't miss a minute of it, really," Joan replied. 3ut Ivor had no soener moved back to his place than she started to nod, and soon was curled up in her seat, Bam long since had sue- cumbed to the late hour, and was sleeping soundly on her cushion, a tightly rolled ball of fur, For an hour the Sky Maiden hummed smoothly along on its course, Ivor had commenced to doze a bit when a slight lurch brought him upright, wide awake, Collins looked around sheepishly, TRE PAGE SEVEN now studded with stars as the moon had slid down over the rim of the ocean, Art glanced at the sleeping and' then moved carefully thing sal and helped himself to one of the ther- mos bottles.

Art leaped quickly to his side, and, even as he looked ahead, the shad- owy shape of something seemed to loom up out of the sea. A streak of light from the eastern horizon threw the dark mass into sudden relief. "Land, ho!" Art shouted. "Must be the first of the islands." "Tell Joan," Ivor suggested.

Thi . thought was voiced by Dr. But» ler, -~ Mr. Schwab said that the indus trial pioneering of the future "will be done by great groups of trained men utilizing each other's selenti- fic knowledge, rather than by the individual as has heen the case in the past, when so often an inven "Dozed for a minute," he "Can't do that again." Ivor nodded and reached into the medicine kit for a small box. He pried it open with his knife and took out two small tablets, One he swal- lowed, and the other he handed to rt, "This caffeine will keep us going.) he yelled in Art's ear. "Better let me take the stick awhile, You've had a long stint." Collins crawled stiffly from the control seat and stretched his tired arms and legs, "We're on the course, ok," he shouted to Ivor, after checking up on the charts and compass, Ivor nodded and stared ahead of him into the night, a velvety sable, No Wonder Colds Yield So Quickly Vaporizing Salve Attacks them 2 Ways st Once 'Although Vicks VapoRub is simply applied externally, it acts both ex- ternally and internally in relieving colds, You just rub it on the throat and chest and this twofold action begins immediately: (1) Like a poultice, it acts through and stimulates the skin, "drawing out" the tightness and pain; (2) At the same time, it is $apor- ized by the warmth of the body, and its medicated vapors are all night long direct to the fnidamed air § the p and easing the dificult breathing.
