FLD SA TRE TREASURE OF THE SEA By George E. Walsh SYNOPSIS CHAPTER XIIt Tucu tells Dick that he must now show him where the smuggled jewels are floating or die. Taking a desperate chance, Dick leaps overboard in the storm and swims back to the schooner. He and Rose kill two Carribs who had remained on the vessel, CHAPTER XIII The shock of the explosion startled Dick so that his hands un- tonsciously relaxed their grip and the big Carib rolled from him. He was so dazed that it took him some time to realize that Rose had come to his assistance at the critical mo- ment, putting the Carib where he could commit no further deviltry, with a bullet through his brain. Captain Bedford had heen knock- ed on the head and Ieft for dead by the Caribs before they attacked Rose in the cabin. They found him hunched up in the scuppers, where the sea brine was threatening to finish what the blow on the head had failed to do. They carried him to the cabin and placed him on a bed and, while Rose worked over him to restore him to consciousness, Dick quietly moved the dead bodies of the Car- ibs and dropped them into the sea. With this unpleasant task fin- ished he glanced at the sky before returning. The scooner was labor- ing heavily in the sca, rolling and plunging like an old bull walrus, every scam groaning under the strain. The gale was playing havoc with what was left of the sails and rigging. * * "This means her finish," he mut- tered. "She can never ride through a sccond storm." He returned to the cabin where Rose had partly revived her father through the liberal use of his favor- ite stimulant, He was far from be- ing dead. It took more than a Carib's bludgeon to kill the doughty New England skipper, born and bred on the water, giving and re- ceiving blows as a part of his daily life for half a century or more. Rose glanced up at his entrance and smiled. "He'll recover," she sald simply. Dick nodded gravely, but did not return the smile. He was worried, and could not conceal the fact from her. "What're we going to do?" he asked. "The schooner is rocking and shaking like an old man with the ague. She'll never hold together until morning." "The Betty of New London," she replied slowly, a gleam of pride in her face "was built in the days when ships were made to hold to- gether and not fall apart in the first storm. Her keel's of hard white oak, and her ribs of the best hackmatack. She'll ride through this storm as she did the other." "We'll. pull through," he said, "but it's going to be a narrow squeeze. The wind's blowing great guns, and the seas are playing the devil with the wreckage--using it as a ram to batter in the sides." "Yes, but we can stop that. Were you ever a sailor?" * * * Dick shook his head. "Nothing btt an amateur. I could sail a yacht, and maybe qualify for a sec- ond-rate seaman. That's about all." "Then I'll take command," she replied quietly. "You'll take orders from me?" "Aye! Aye! At your service, Cap- tain Rose!" He touched his forehead in sal- ute and clicked his heels in true military form. Her face was very grave, not a flicker of a smile light- ing it up. "It's going to be a hard night for both of us," she went on. "We can't raise any of the sails, and if we could the wind would blow them to tatters. But the schooner's wallowing broadside to the waves. We must stop that or we'll go under," Quite right, Captatn, But how are we going to do it? She won't obey her rudder with any sail." "No," she answered shortly, "But ~ there's that wreckage. It may. save 5 ae us yet. We must get axes and clear it away before it's too late." "Aye! Aye, Captam. But you mustn't risk your lite m that work. Let me do it." * * * She made no reply, but began pulling an oiled slicker over her shoulders, nodding to Dick to do the same. She sclected two stout axes from a rack, and after hand- ing one to him started for the companion. Dick started to pro- test. "This isn't your work, Rose. Leave it to me. I'll fcjlow orders." "Then do as I do," she replied. curtly. Her plan was simple in explana- tion but difficult of execution. The schooner was wallowing loggily in the seas, half buried at times by the brine, but the crash of the wreckage against the outboard was the most alarming thing. It threat- ened to smash the bulwarks and shiver the timbers of the hulk to splinters. ILither that had to be removed or the Betty was doomed. But Rose's idea was to use the thing that menaced thelr lives for saving the schooner. By cutting it loose from the side, and fasten- ing it with tow lines, the wind and waves would convert it into a sea anchor. Dick attacked the wreckage near- est him with his axe. "Make your lines fast first," she cried, intercepting him, "or we'll lose it." * * * The sodden mass of sails, spars and rigging were held to the side by innumerable ropes which if cut would immediately release it. They were securely lashed to the broken half of the main trunk, whose butt end was slamming against the bul- warks with every heave of the sea. Their inner ends were caught in the shrouds, but slack enough for Dick to unloosen them. ' Fighting his way through the roaring gray-backs, he climbed,into the shrouds and began unweaving them from their tangled hold. Back and forth the schooner rolled, lurching so heavily that it seemed a miracle he was not flung ontward into the boiling mass of green waters. Dick finally secured one loose end, and made his way to the deck. Rose seized it, and throwing it over her shoulders walked to the for- ward towing bitts. By the time she had fastened and returned, Dick had another for her. "Let me carry it," he shouted above the storm, his fear that she might injure herself or be washed overboard uppermost in his mind. * * * She shook her head and pointed to a third line. Grumblingly, Dick took his orders, and leaped into the shrouds the third time. Spent and gasping, he waited a moment to get his breath, and then throw- ing the end over his own shoulders, he carried it forward. With three slack lines running from the mass of wreckage to the forward towing bitts, they were ready to cut away the rigging that held the battering ram in position, They hacked steadily at ropes and wire, rigging, cutting in water some- times a foot deep. They were drenched to the skin, and nearly exh: usted when all but a single line was severed. Rose raised her axe to cut this. Dick seeing her danger shouted to her, but she did not hear. The rope parted with a loud snap and writhing and twisting like a sea serpent, it struck up and caught the girl as if it had been the tentacle of an octopus. Dick saw her stag- ger under the blow, fall to the deck, and then with the rope twist- ed around her she wag carried over- hoard 1as the released wreckage brought the line taut. One horrified glance, and he was after her, plunging recklessly into the green brine. In his leap he caught the slack end of a short rope and clung to it. With his other hand he clutched her skirts. (To Be Continued) How Can I? By Anne Ashley Q. How can I remove a glass stopper from a bottle without breaking it, when every method seems unavailing? A. Pour a litele glycerine around the neck of the stopper, and let it stand until it lifts out easily, T'his may require a half- hour or sometimes a day or two. Q. How can I relieve the pinch of new shoes? A. Wring a cloth from hot water and lay it across the tight spot while the shoe is on the foot, changing as it cools. This will make the leather shape to the foot. QQ. How can I remove var- nish stains from goods? A. Rub the spot with tur- pentine or benzine, then wash the goods thoroughly. Q. How can I house plants for several days, so that they will not dry up? A. Place a number of bricks in a tub, set the flower pots on the bricks, and pour in water to cover the bricks, The plants will draw sufficient moisture, leave Q. How can I give canned goods a better flavor? A. Always open canned fruits and vegetables a few hours be- fore using, if possible, and the fla- vor will be far better than when used immediately after opening. "No Soap' Now A Literal Truth "No soap!" isn't just a slang ex- pression, Housewives for some time have been complaining about the lack of soap flakes and laundry soap, but a new quirk has been developing the last week or so. Not only are there no soap flakes, soap powders, soap chips and soap fer washing out the family lines, but now ordin- ary soap for washing hands and faces is vanishing, too. Hand soap bins in both big and little grocery stores are gaping like wide open mouths with nothing in them. The well-known brands have vanished almost completely, and even those that have never been seen before are being snapped up, "Havn't you any hand soap ev- en?" the manager of one store was asked. "Hand soap?" he asked. And that was the end to that conversation. Housewives are reported com- pletely stymied now. Some of them caught onto the knack of cutting shavings from bar soap for wash- ing out their silks and rayons, It was a lot of work but it did help. If there's no bar soap cither, they're wondering if they're going to have their own fats and ashes and make some of their own, There is also the problem of the necks and ears of their young off- spring. It looks to them as if the atom age is going to produce a dirty-faced generation. Your best bet for schooldays . . , this jumper, blouse duet you can make yourself!

Legs Sd cree: NTE TA BY IR Corners Can Be Attractive, Useful Suggestions for Improving Ap- pearance of All Four Corners of Room Designers of modern furniture are fully conscious that every room has four corners, and some have designed pieces especially for them, says the Christian Science Monitor. Their sectional sofas can fit right into corners, and the circular ones, if placed across a corner, leave space for a small lamp table behind them. To make the most of corners in bedrooms, triangular desks and dressing tables have been designed. Those of us who must keep on living with the furniture we already own can give extra space, and more attractive groupings of our furni- ture, if we dramatize the corners with new arrangements. Feature the Corner A corner can be made the living centre of a room by placing a large table squarely into it, with a chair on either side. If you keep current magazines, your knitting, a good reading lamp on it, the family will gravitate to it. A small plant will add cheer, but if the comer is too dark in the daytime for a plant, use cut flowers or a gay, bright bowl or figurine. If you have a decorated screen which contrasts nicely with the color of the wall, try placing it against one wall of a corner. It will be well displayed, and there will be one less bare corner in the room. A corner is sometimes a good place for an upright piano. With a good light on the wall for the play- er, the piano is as accessible there as anywhere else, and it is well out of the way of those who want to talk. Whatnot From Attic If there is an old whatnot in your attic, either of the hanging or the standing type, bring that down for a living-room corner in which to display your collection of old glass or china, A great deal can also be done about bare corners by using built-in pieces. The old-time dining-room cupboard is duplicated today in the smaller, lighter models, and is a joy to the homemaker who likes to display her best pieces there, Dressing tables for bedrooms can be placed in corners between win- dows. For a guest room, or an up- stairs living room, a shelf across one corner can do service as 4 small desk. In either a dining room or a living room, a shelf across one corner gives a convenient space for plants, or for collections of old or modern glass, which bring color to a corner.

Paul's Procedure Paul had at this time a uniform mode of procedure: first, he began with the Jews at their regular place of meeting, the synagogue. Second, he made use of the Sab- bath Day, the regular Jewish day of assembly. Those already Christians met on the first day of the week for their own distinctive service. In order to reach the Jews, Paul wisely made use of their day, as missionaries among the Jews still do. Third, "he rea- soned with them from the Scrip- tures." Nothing else has the pow- er to convince and regenerate men that the Word of God has. The True Jesus In his preaching, Paul empha- sized three points: (1) The Christ must suffer because we have sinn- ed, and are therefore under the curse of the broken law of God and He must suffer even unto the death by crucifxion to redeem us from that curse by taking the curse upon Himself, (2) The Christ must "rise again from the dead." This, too, he proved from the Old Testament as Peter did on Pentecost. (3) That "this Je- sus Whom I proclaim unto you is the Christ."

After they were re- generated by the Holy Spirit, they lived nobly and true for Christ. They were now complimented by Paul for their "work of faith," "their labor "of love," "their pa- tience of hope." These former pagans now knew they were born of God and therefore the eternal children of God. The Thessalonians soon devel- oped into saints. They suffered, but through all their suffering they came to know Jesus better. From points which they person- ally evangelized the gospel further spread through the outlying dis- tricts. Their faith in God had thus gone forth until it resounded far and wide throughout that section of Southern Europe. TO EASE ACHES and PAINS of a | GENUINE ASPIRIN IS 3) MARKED THIS. WA A ant Lo fda.
