She was Indeed a , beautiful craft, and Commodore Gib- -liey's heart swelled with pride as he ftood aft, conning the man at the Wheel, and looked her over. It seemed like a sacrilege "how, when he reflected »ow he had trained the gun of the old Haggle on her that day off the Corofcados, and It seemed to him now even t greater sacrilege to have brazenly planned to enter her as a privateer in the struggles of the republic of Colombia. The past tense is used advisedly, „£or that project was now entirely off much to the secret delight of Captain •j Scrags, who. lf the hero of one naval engagement, was not anxious to takepart in another, in Panama the freemJ the Ma?gle 11 learned that during Mr. GibneyV absence on Ids i'r!lthe Co""Db", tionists had risen and struc° k their blow. After the fashion mpetuous People, they had •ntered the contest absolutely untrained. As a result, the war hud lasted Just two weeks, the leaders had ning, it was finally decided that they should embark on an Indefinite trading cruise In the South seas, or until such time as It seemed their services must be required to free a downtrodden people from a tyrant's yoke. Captain Scraggs and McGuffey had never been in the South seas, but they had beard that a fair margin of profit was to be wrung from trade in copra, shell, coconuts, and kindred tropical products. Tbey so expressed themselves. To this suggestion, however, Commodore Gfbney waved a deprecating paw. •"Legitimate tradln', boys," he said "Is a nice, sane, healthy business, but the profits is slow. What we want Is quick profits, and while It ain't set down In black and white, one of the principal objects of this syndicate Is to lead a life of wild adventure. In trad in", there ain't no adventure to speak of. We ought to do a little black-birdln', or raid some of those Jap pearl fisheries off the northern coast of Formosa." "But well be chased by real gunboats if we do that" objected Captain Scragga. "Those Jap gunboats shoot to kill. Can't you think of somethin' else, Gibr "Well," said Mr. Gibney. "for a starter, I out. Suppose we Just head straight for Kandavu Island in the Fiji s. and scheme around for a cargo of black coral? It's only worth about fifty dollars a pound. Kandavu lays somewhere in latitude 22 south, longitude 178 west, and when I was there last It was fair reekin' with cannibal savages. But there's tons of black coral there, and nobody's ever been able to sneak in and get away with it Every time a boat used to land at Kandavu, the native Diggers would have a white-man stew down on the beach, and it's got so that skippers give the island a wide berth." . "Gib, my dear boy," chattered Cap* tain Scraggs, "I'm a man of peace and I--I " "Scraggsy, old stick-in-the-mud," said Mr. Gibney, laying an affectionate hand on the skipper's shoulder, Syou're nothin' of the sort. You're a fightln' tarantula, and nobody knows It better'n ,Adelbert P. Gibney. I've seen you in action, Scraggsy. Remember that. It's all right for you to say you're a man of peace and advise me and McGuffey to keep out of the track of trouble, but we know that away down low you're goin' around lookin' for blood, and that once you're up agin the enemy, you never bat an eyelash. Eh, McGuffey?" Mcfiuffby nodded; whereupon. Captain Scraggs, making but a poor effort to conceal the pleasure which Mr. Glbney's rude compliment afforded him, turned to the rail, glanced seaward, and started to walk away to attend 'to some trifling detail connected with the boat falls. ' "All right, Gib, my lad," he said, affecting to resign himself to the inevitable, "have It your own way. You're a commodore and I'm only a plain captain, but I'll follow wherever you lead. I'll go as far «s the next man and we'll glom that black coral If we have to slaughter every man, woman and child on the Island. Only, when we're sizzlln' In a pot don't you up and say I never warned you, because I did. How d'ye propose intimidatin' the natives. Gib?" "Scraggsy," said the . commodore, solemnly, "we've waged a prisate war agin a friendly nation, licked 'em and helped ourselves to their ship. We've changed her name and rig and her official number and letters and we're sailin' under bogus papers. That makes us pirates, and that old Maggie burgee floatin' at the fore ain't nothin' more nor less than the Jolly Roger. All right! Let's be pirates. Who cares? When we slip Into M'galao harbor we'll Invite the king and his head men aboard for dinner. We'll get 'em drunk, clap 'em in double irons, and surrender 'em to their weepin' subjects when they've filled the hold of the Maggie II with black coral. If they refuse to come aboard we'll shell the bush with that long gun and the Maxim rapid-fire guns we've got below decks. That'll scare 'em so they'll leave us alone and we can help ourselves to the coral." Scraggs* cold blue eyes glistened. "Lord, Gib," he murmured, "you've got a head." "Like playln' post-office," was Me- Guffey's comment. The commodore smiled. "I thought you boys would see it that way. Now tomorrow I'm going ashore to buy three divin' outfits nnd lay In a big stock of provisions for the voyage. In the meantime, while the carpenters are gettin' the ship into shape, we'll leave the first mate In charge while we go ashore and have a good time. I've seen worse places than Panama." As a result of this conference Mr. Glbney's suggestions were acted upon, and they contrived to make their brief stay in Panama very agreeable. They Inspected the work on the canal, siarveied at the stupendous engineering in the Culebra Cut, drank a little, gambled a little. McGuffey whipped a bartender. He was ordered arrested, and six spiggoty little policemen, sent to arrest him, were also thrashed. The and fgitoa on 'ifcc of t: m the epp il {fven. Ur.'

She kept well to the southwest untU she struck the southeast trades, when she swung around on her course, beaded straight for her destination. It was a pleasant voyage, devoid of Incident, and the health of all hands was excellent. Mr. Gibney took daily observations, and was particular to make daily entries in hia log when he. Scraggs, and McGuffey were not playing cribbage, a game of which all three were passionately fond. On the afternoon of the twenty-ninth day after leaving Panama the lookoat reported land. Through his glasses Mr. Gibney made out a cluster of tall palms at the southerly end of the Island, and as the schooner held lazily on her course he could discern the white breakers foaming over the reefs that guarded the entrance to the harbor. •v* tte" "That's Kandavu, all right," announced the commodore. "I was there In '89 with BUI MeGSnty !n the schooner Dash In* Wave. There's the entrance to the harbor, with the Esk reefs to the north and the Pearl reefs to the south. The channel's very narrow-- not more than three cables. If it's that, but there's plenty of water and a good muddy bottom that'll hold. McGuffey, lad, better run below and tune up your engines. It's too dangerous a passage on an ebb-tide for a sallin' vessel, so we'll run in under the power. Scraggsy, stand by and when 1 give the word have your crew shorten sail." Within a few minutes a long white streak opened up in the wake of the schooner, announcing that McGuffey's engines were doing duty, and a nice breeze springing up two points aft the beam, the Maggie heeled over and fairly flew through the water. Mr. Qlbney smiled an ecstatic smile as he took the wheel and guided the schooner through the channel. He rounded her up in twelve fathoms, and within five minutes every stitch of canvas was clewed down hard and fast. The sun was setting as they dropped anchor, and Mr. Gibney had lanterns hung along the sail so that it would be impossible for any craft to approach the schooner and board her without being seen. Also the watch on deck that night carried Manser rifles, six-shooters, and cutlasses. Mr. Gibney was taking no chances. CHAPTER J& "Now, boys," announced Commodore Gibney, as he sat at the head of'the officers' mess at breakfast next morning, "there'll be a lot of canoes paddling off to visit us within the hoar, so whatever you do, don't allow more than two of these cannibals aboard the schooner at the same time. Make 'em keep their weapons in the canoes with 'em, and at the first sign of trouble shoot 'em down like dogs. It may be that these precautions ain't necessary, but when I was here twenty years ago it was all the rage to kill a white man and eat him. Maybe times has changed, but the harbor and the coast looks Just as wild and lonely as they ever did, and I didn't see no sign of missionary when we dropped hook last night. So don't take no chances." All hands promised that they would take extreme core, to the end that their precious persons might remain intact, so Mr. Gibney finished his cup of coffee at a gulp and went on declff. The Kandavu aborigines were not long in putting In an appearance. Even as Mr. Gibney came on deck half a dozen canoes shot out from the beach. been Incontinently shot, and the whi^ re8enres were etllled out and a riot winged dove of peace had once more en®u*d-, **r' °lbney. following the Spread her pinions along the borders m° syndicate, 1. e., «f the Gold coast.

They Rubbed Noses Very Solemnly. Mr. Gtbney Immediately piped all hands on deck, armed them, and nonchalantly awaited the approach of what might or might not turn out to be an enemy. When the flotilla was within pistol shot of the schooner Mr. Gibney stepped to the rail and motioned them back. Immediately the natives ceased paddling, and a wild-looking fellow stood up In the forward canoe. After the mauner of his kind he lmd all bis life soused his head In lime-water when making his savage toilette, and as a result his shock of black* hair stood on end and bulged out like a crowded hayrick. He was naked, of course, and in his hand he held a huge war club. "That felletM eat a rattlesnake," gasped Captain Scragg*- "Shoot htm, Gib, lf he bats an eye." "Shut up," said the commodore, n trifle testily; "that's the number-one nigger, wbo. does, the talkln'. Hello, boy." "Hello, cap'n," replied the savage, and salaamed gravely. "You llkee buy n. Mr. Gibney met the spokesman at the rail aad they robbed nose* very solemnly, after the manner of Mentation in Kandavu. Captain Scragg" bustled forward, full of ImpoftttttH*. "Interduce me, Gib," he said amiably, and then, while Mr. Gibney favored him with a sour glance, Captain Scraggs stuck out his hand and shook briskly with the native. "Happy to make your acquaintance," he said. "Scraggs is my name, sir. Shake hands with McGuffey, our chief engineer. Hope you left all the folks at home well. What'd you say your name was?" The Islander hadn't said his name was anything, bat he grinned now and replied that It was Tabu Tabu. "Well, my bucko," muttered McGuffey, wbo always drew the color line. 'Tm glad to hear that But you ain't the only thing that's taboo around this packet. You can Jest check that war clnb with the first mate, pendin' oar better acquaintance. Hand It over, you blsc& beggar, or I'll hit you a swat in the ear that'll hurt all your relations. And hereafter, Scraggsy, Just keep your nigger friends to yourself. I ain't waxin' effusive over this savage, and it's agin my principles ever to shake hands with a colored man. This chap's a d--d ugly customer, and you take my word for It" Tabu-Tabu grinned again, walked to the rail, and tossed his war dub down into the canoe. "Me good missionary boy," be said, rather humbly. "McGuffey, my dear boy," protested Captain Scraggs, "don't be so doggone rude. You might hurt this poor lad's feelln's. Of course he's only a simple native nigger, but even a dawg has feelln's. You---" "A-r-r-rhl* snarled McGuffey. "You two belay talkln' and snappln' at each other," commanded Mr. Gibney, "an* leave all bargainln' to me.; This boy is all right and we'll get' along first rate If you two Just haul ship and do somethfn* useful besides buttin' In on your superior officer. Come along, Tabu-Tabu. Makee little eat down In cabin. You talkee captain." "Gib, my dear boy," sputtered Captain Scraggs, bursting with curiosity, following the commodore's reappearance on deck, "whatever's In the wind?" "Money--fortune," said Mr. Gibney, solemnly. McGuffey edged op and eyed the commodore seriously. "Sure there ain't, a tittle fightln' mixed up th it?" he asked. "Not a bit of it," replied Mr. Gibney. "You're as safe on Kandavu as if you was In church. This Tabu kid is sort of prime minister to the king, with a heap of influence at court. The crew of a British cruiser stole him for a galley police when he was a kid, and he 'got civilized •and learned to talk English. He was a cannibal in them days, but the chaplain aboard showed him how foolish It was to do such things, and finally Tabu-Tabu got religion and asked as a special favor to be allowed to return to Kandavu to civilize his people. As a result of Tabu-Tabu's efforts, he tells me the king has concluded that when he eats a white man he's flyin' In the face of his own Interests, and most generally a gunboat comes along in a few months and shells the bush, and--well, anyhow, there ain't been a barbecue on Kandavu for ten years. It's a capital crime to eat a man now, and punishable by boilin* the offender ailve in palm oil." "Well," rumbled McGuffey, "this Tabu-Tabu dont look much like a preacher, If you ask me. But how about this black coral?" "Oh, I've ribbed up a deal with him," said Mr. Gibney. "Hell see that we get all the trade we can lug away. We're the first vessel that's touched here in two years, and they have a thunderin' lot of stuff on hand. Tabu's gone ashore to talk the king into doln' business with us. If he (onsents, we'll have him and Tabu- Tabu and three or four of the subchiefs aboard for dinner, or else he'll Invite us ashore for a big feed, and we'll have to go." "Supposin' the king don't care to have any truck with us?" inquired MeiJuffey, anxiously. "In that case, Mac," replied thecommodote with a smile, "we'll just naturally shell him out of house and home." "Well, then," said McGuffey, "let's get the guns ready. Somethin' tells me these people ain't to be trusted, and I'm tellin* you right now, Gib, I won't sleep well tonight unless them two quarter gatlings and the Maxim- Vlckers rapid-fire guns is mounted and ready for business." "All right Mac," replied Mr. Gibney, in the tone one uses when humoring a baby. "Set 'em up if it'll make you feel more cheerful. Still, I don't see why you want to go actln' so foolish over nothin'." "Well, Gib," replied the engineer, "I may be crazy, but I ain't no fool, and if there's a dead whale around the ship, I can come pretty near smellln' it. I tell you, Gib, that Tabu-Tabu nigger had a look in his eye for all the world like a cur dog lickin' a bone. I ain't takin* no chances. My old man used to say: 'Bart, whatever you do, alters have an anchor out to windward.' " "By the left hind leg of the Grea% Sacred Bull," snapped Captain Scraggs. "if you sia!£ «i>ougn to precipitate war." "War," replied McGuffey, *fs my long suit--particularly war with native niggers. I' Just naturally crave to punch the ear of anything darker than a I'ortugee. Remember how I cleaned out the police department of Panama ?" "Mount the guns if you're goin' to, Mac. If not, for the. love of the Lord don't be demorallzin' the crew with this talk of war.

Meanwhile, McGuffey contented himself by parading backward and forward across the castle head with a Mauser rifle In hollow of his arm and his person fairly bristling with pistols and cutlasses. Whenever one of the flotilla of canoes hove to at a respectful distance, showed signs of crossing an imaginary deadline drawn by McGuffey, hb would point his rifle at them and swear horribly. He scowled at Tabu-Tabu when that individual finally emerged from the conference with Mr. Gibney and Scraggs and went over the aid* to bis waiting canoe. ¥ (TO BE CONTINUED.) • VALUE OF DEEP BREATHINQ CALUMET Calumet possesses the farthest! v -•reaching baking powder economy. Iti£ ^ ^ mojf economical leavening agent It save* Western Peoples Have Not a Proper Comprehension of Ita Immense Importance. • v Singers are not the only persons wits need to learn to breathe deeply; the practice is good for every one, say the neurologists, and they udd that we of the western lands have paid altogether too little attention to correct respiration and still less to the good effects of deep breathing. In the Orient they look very differently upon it and lay great stress upon Its constant and regular practice. The eastern philosophers teach that the mental powers, self-control, clear vision, hnppiness and even morals are dependent In great measure upon this practice of deep breathing. It includes the play of the whole respiratory apparatus--every part of the lungs, every air cell, every respiratory muscle, is to be brought Into action. In modified breathing only part of the cells are filled with oxygenated air, and the muscles are only partly employed. To breathe deeply requires that one should stand erect and Inhale steadily through the nostrils. First fill the lower part of the lungs, then the middle part by pushing out the lower ribs an{ breast bone, and finally the higher part by elevating the chest. Hold the breath for a few seconds and exhale slowly through the mouth. Deep breathing promotes a sort ol massage of the Internal organa and produces a soothing effect **- CM nerves..
