' THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, MONDAY, JULY 15, EET WHAT HAPPENED BEFORE Palmyra Tfee, aboard the yacht Rainbow, aiscovers a stowaway. Jhe is aisappointed in his mild ap- arance and tells him so. Opeying is command to glance at the door, sées a huge, fierce, copper- ued man with a ten inch knife tween his lips. The stowaway, 'Burke, and the brown man, Olive, fo up on deck and tell stories of adventure which are not believed. Palmyra decides she loves Van, The night the engagement is an- 'nounced the Rainbow hits a reef. John Thurston rescues -both Van snd Palmyra----but Palmyra thinks " Van saved her. A sail is sighted after three days )n an island. It is Ponape Burke, he stowaway! Burke abducts almyra. Burke has to put her )shore on an island, as a Japanese man-of-war is sighted and it would be: dangerous to have her aboard.

Burke's ship approaches the island. Now read on-- Chapter VIL. She would have snatched her parasol to raise as an additional sail, but now, to her astonishment, she found that Olive was not mak- ing sail, but taking it in. Slowly the speck that was the Pigeon of Noalr grew larger. One hardly believed so small a thing pould threaten so much of evil. 'She understood now why Olive pad not tried to run, Their hope fepended not on flight, but in ly-! 'Ing unobserved, i As the topmasts had risen ever higher againstthe sky, so now they clock. Then he sprang to his feet, caught her up once more like a child, started for the canoe. She tried to bring it forward, felt jerked vigorously. at once, looked at the heavens, his Palmyra wanted to give the knife back, but her arm was pinioned. the brown man's precautionary tightening of his hold, became again conscious of her grievance, Olive was like a long-suffering parent. He did not know why she resisted, but hs did know he could bundle her up close in his arms, with one broad hand across her mouth: * Sudden rage possessed the girl. She would not be treated so. She struggled with all her might. The knife impeded her and she flung it down. . The blade fell noiselessly. As it struck in the flooding moonlight it sent out one futile flash. But the savage, all unaware marched on, holding the girl in vise-like grip. When Olive had carried Palmyra thus unceremoniously down to their canoe, the sea was not long in reasserting its power. Her re- spite had been too brief for any real rally against the tyrant savage. Ag the craft cut its way through the water, the girl was increasingly sorry for what she had done. Her product of her imagination an ex- fraordinary power. : 'She saw the steamer rising from the ocean, She climbed its ladder to the rail. And there, triumphant on itd deck, she was safe! And in that moment she knew she could not be hard. on the brown man, She would not demand his punishment. Only a savage after all--no knight errant of the deep seg--his very savagery was his ex- cuse, He had known no petter, was not to be blamed. Yet he'd been kind to her and he had saved her from Burke. At the parting she would thank him. She would load his canoe with gifts. Or, better still, though he'd carried her wide of her own port of refuge, she would give him to some island beyond reach of the murderous Ponape. And then, suddenly, Tree was back in the canoe, her heart beating to suffocation. For her dream was not a dream. The cloud wag not a cloud. It was smoke, smoke! smoke!! Her ship had come! Chapter IX. The Imperial Japanese Gunboat Okayama, upon a preceding day, had been steaming against the sea when word came down to Comman- der Sakamoto that a sail had been Palmyra act had not been deliberate, but sighted, apparently a raft with g sure. :something wet touched her i Recoiling with a gasp, she found I IA Palmyra Tree In life.

For him to reach this far unhelped, even if nobody makes some chase, would be of a--too much." 'Wherefore, Sakamoto, put all to the wrong by Olive's strategy of stealth and deviousness, threw the Okayama northwarq and steamed forever out of the field of pursuit; never agai. to pass within sight of, canoe or schooner; deserting the girl in that hour when white sav- age and brown closed in for poss- ession of her pody. Palmyra's knowledge of their course was so vague that she had not known whether they sailed the Sunrise or the Sunset ¢ hain of the Marshalls, Olive unexpectedly dived. There was one plop of his toes at the sur- face and then she saw hig outreach- ing fingers clutch a stone at the bottom. He brought his feet down and moved, crouching, as if he were stooped on dry land, looking for something lost. She could see as well as if there were no water. Olive was moving to one side now. The great clam was lying immediately behind him, its upper shell raised like atrap. She was momentarily uneasy, then laughed.

One of the chief uncertainies which the cotton market has to face at the present time, according to the trade, 1s the government report on acreage, and condition. Private re- ports of this nature, already submit- ted, estimate the increase from 134 to 7 per cent in acreage. It is pro- bable according to leading sources, that the increase will be around 2 or 3 per cent in the government greport.

In itg place she found, to her surprise, a touch of guilt, as if she had been untrue to a trust. He had trusted her, and now, lying there in all his strength, he was like Samson. How had Delilah felt as the shears cut through the last of those locks? But Palmyra was not irrevocably the Delilah, for she could restore the knife. She was, indeed, leaning forward with that purpose, when the savage awek Panic stricken, the girl jerked back, not in fear of his r. but in a guilty apprehension th-t. seeing the knife above him, he m'~ht think she attempted Vip adt failed to call his attention to the [empty sheath. i Arata She was astonished now that so "fafallible « machine should not al- most immediately have discovered the loss. 4 Not, however, until the hour for bananas and cocoanut did the square copper hand go back after the blade. Then there appeared upon that face what was actually an 'expression--puzzled, startled, bereaved. The queer brown-shot eyes fixed themselves upon her. For a mo- ment there seemd a pained re- proach in them, but he spoke no word. Instead, he stooped, and she saw with a gasp that he was draw- ing from its place a heavy stick. The brown man picked up one of the cocoanuts, and cautioned her with those square hands, so expres- sive where his face was blank. Then he raised the nut and brought it down upon the sharpened point. The wood entered the green husk. With a sidewise prying motion that wrenched her hands, despite the supporting framework, he tore off a section of the husk. Again the nut came down upon the point, im- paling itself, and in a moment the whole husk was removed. After Olive had husked several of the nuts, he opened two by pecking them with the sharp end of a third, trepanning them as neat- ly as a surgeon. The girl accepted food and drink humbly. She would have struck her krife to the heart of this brown man-- and he had meant only to give her food, Her eyes tilled.

Bur when they had reached the abduc- tion, he imself jumped up, inter- rupting excitedly. There was a new look on his face, a look that had advanced through astonished in- credulity into mortification and distress. "Now I--onderstand," he cried. "Of her I--know only one things. This Ponape--she is out of his hands." "Thank God!" from Thurston. But Sakamoto exclaimed. 'No, no! It is--not good. It is bad.

Money which would ordinarily be used to finance Europe's industrial business and importing interests, has been attracted to the United States in vast amounts for loan on call or on time. This has contributed to the level of cotton prices being about four cents a pound below that of a year ago, Cotton experts in the Street, solic- ited yesterday for their views were almost without exception bull- ish. They cited a number of factors pointing to probable higher values be fore the end of the year: 1, The fiscal year for cotton end- ing this month will see a relatively small carry-over, probably 750,000 bales less than in 1928, 2. A larger proportion than usual of the carry over will not be of de- sirable grades or long staple. 3. Improved demand indicated from Allied countries in the last half of 1929 due to the reparations settle- ment, 4. Increased demand for cotton, particularly of the low grades from weevil 5. Indication that damage with respect to the new crop will be as great as in 1923. 6. Tendency of American mills to export greatly increased quantities of finished goods than ever before, 7.

Likelihood that New York stock will decrease appreciably in the third quarter, and by the time the new crop 'starts to fiove will be reduced to 10,000 bales, the same amount as at the end of the 1927-'28 crop year. 9.

Itis one of the largest construction projects in the city. Before this year is over the Bell Telephone Company will spend over $300,000 extending and improving the city's tele- phone facilities. ~~ Telephone construction gangs are now at work througnuut the city. One of their important jobs is the installation of new under- ground conduit and cable. This work alone is costing upwards of $160,000. : This construction activity is part of the Telephone Company's aim and effort to give the best possible service at the lowest possible cost, but it means more to Oshawa than improved telephone service. It represents employment and living for hundreds of families in Oshawa and district who spend many thousands of dollars of wages with Oshawa merchants. And it represents a great volume of trade for firms and industriep in Oshawa gnd surrounding centres in the supplies which are pur- chased from them for construction. The 'Telephone Company plans to spend $120,000,000 in construc-- tion in Ontario and Quebec during the next five years. Over $800,000 will be gpent in Oshawa alone. Such expenditures will give life to trade in many directions. In this construction activity as well as in its service operations the telephone 'system is an emterprise closely related to the public interest. H. M. BLACK Manager.
