The narrowness of tlte stateroom prevented my taking much part ta the affair, but the mulatto needed no heir. «s he dragged the cursing Spaniard from his hunk to the deck and throttled hton savagely; Indeed he would have killed the fellow had I not Interfered and twisted his hands loose, leaving Estevan barely conations. A blanket ripped into strips served to bind him securely enough ,, for the present, but I thought It best to lock the door, and keep the key tn piy own pocket. LeVere would have knifed him even as he lay there helpless. but for my threat and insistence. Once bf.ck in the cabin my eyes distinguished the frightened face of the '.Weward peering forth at us from out the dark of the passage leading forward. ^ "Come here, Gunsaules," I said sternly. "Step lively, lad: there's nothing for you to fear. Senor Estada l)as keen killed during the night, nnd we have Just captured his murderer," I explained. "There is reason to believe tills act was part of a conspiracy to teize the ship in connection with those fellows amidships. Does that passage lead to their quarters?" "It did once, senor, hut now there is a closed door of oak, studded with Iron, not only locked, hot barred on this side. There are but two kejs-- one for the captain and the other for Mm who commands the buccaneers." I stood there a moment, considering His information. .The only way the Mutineers could reach the cabin then would he from the deck, descehdfftg through the companion. So tong aS they remained unaware of the capture Manuel there was little danger of Jheir taking such action. I ' v "Very well, steward," I said.

She came at on<W and seated herself opposite me, and" w« spoke of the weather while Gunsaules served. He was still Covering about, but.my anx-, lety to have a word with her alone caused me to send him to attend Captain Sanchez. We waited until he disappeared within the after stateroom, bearing a trUy; then her eyes sudden-: ly lifted to mine, filled with question-: ing. "Tell me what* has happened^ She breathed eagerly. "I heard the noise of a struggle out here, and voices conversing. Why are you alwie?" I leaned over to speak in as low a tone as possible. And I told her the situation in detail and my plans. She sat silently gazing at me across the table, her parted llpS trembling to an unasked question. Before she could frame this in words, the dofor to the companion opened, and Watkins de-j scended the stairs. At sight of her he whipped off his cap. "You may speak fre«ly," I said. "This is the young lady % told you about, and of cotirsie she la with u&' Only talk low." "Yes, sir." using a hoarse whisper, and fastening his .gaze on me. "It's all right, sir." CHAPTER XX. . The Deck Is Ours. I had the next step carefully outlined in my own mind, and yet I hesitated a moment, glancing into the two faces before me, with a sudden realization of what the contemplated action would mean to all of us, if by any chance it should fail of success. I managed to speak cheerfully, putting a ring of confidence into my voice. "Then the sooner we act the better. Watkins, have LeVere order these men aft. Let him say that Senor Estada wishes them to break out some stores in the lazaret. They need be here only long enougli for lis to distribute these arms among them, and for me to speak a word of instruction to them." "But have I no part? Is there no way in which I can help?" asked the girl. "You have your pistol? Then remain here. I shall have to go on deck with the men, aud will not dare leave them a inoinei^t. ,until the ship is ab- LDdcocj DO " 3r Harwood down froth the foretop," said Watkins. "And there' are others below wha wll| Join tft?", j ' "Yes, sir; six more I count on." . . "Which means lads, that with wood. Senor LeVere, and myself, we'll total twenty-one In this shindy. Now I'll* tell you what is up. Watkins gave yon some of it no dbubt, but a word from me will make It clearer. I'm no pirate;*I'm an English sailor, shanghied. Estada named me first officer because I understand navigation." I stopped speaking, staring at one ;of the faces before me; all at once It appeared familiar. "What is your name, my man?" ' "Jim Carter, sif.H ^ . • "You wore onrthe klhbfei. thred years ago?"/ "I was that, Misfcec Carlyle," he answered, grinning. "i know'd you the minute I euro down j*tse." "Then that is all I need say on that line. Here's one of your mates, lads, who will vouch for" me. Now, as I've been told, you are all of you in the same, boat--you are prisoners on board. Luck has given us a fchance to make a break, and get away. Captain Sanchez is wounded and helpless. Pedrb Estada lis dead, and I've got Manuel locked In that stateroom. His cut-throats are all below, and now all we've got to do is clap on the hatch and keep them there. Now, V^hat I want to know Is are you fellows with me?" Watkins answered up promptly; then Carter; the others joining in with. less heartiness, the different accents revealing their nationalities. I knew sailors well enough to feel assured they would follow their leaders once the game started. "That's good enongh; tiow we*¥e got to hit hard and quick, lads. There are six men on deck who are not with us. Watkins will take care of them with those fellows I don't assign to other work. Jones, you and Carter make straight for the forecastle and don't let anyone come up the scuttle. One of you had better drop down below, and prevent any of those lads from Starring the door leading amidships. Who IS the best for fhat job?" "Let Carlson do it." "411 right--Carlson It is then. Yon Frenchmen, and the two negroes, your / part wl be to ship 'the main hatch. I>o a quick job, and clamp It down > tight." "I'll come down to you Carlson, as soon as we have the deck. It ought not to take more than five minutes to handle those lads, and slew around a carronade. Watkins, you and Carter hand out the cutlasses from the rack; you boys will handle those better than firearms. Good; now are you all reildy?" There was a low murmur of voices, the faces watching me showing their Increasing excitement and eagerness. Our little talk had served to arouse their confidence in,iny leadership, aud wfth gleaming weapons in their hands they became self-reliant volunteers. Once turned loose my greatest difficulty might be to restrain them, rather than urge them on. Revenge for past wrongs was In each heart, and they welcomed a chance to strike. I whispered a parting word of admonition into the ear of Dorothy, receiving in return a glance from her eyes, which gave a new throb to mj heart; then straightened up, and pistol in hand, pushed my way through the throng of sailors to the foot of the stairs. "Follow me, lads," I said quietly. s (TO BE CONTINUE!).) Disabled Men Are Given Every «*• *<wed deprecat- Ingty. The adviser looked at the ring % «$refully.

He sat there listlessly looking at his hands and left It to the adviser to decide. Every now and then he slowly turned a strange ring he had on his finger. The adviser felt rather discouraged.

Railway • Carriages Were Strong Factor In Reducing the St. Mihlel* Sector. ' San Frttncisco, Cai.--iJot the"1east interesting feature of the new Pacific fleet Is the 14-inch guns, 12 of which are mounted on Admiral Hugh Rodman's flagship, the New Mexico, and several other ships of the fleet. Design and construction of the 14- inch naval ghn on railway mountings on the western front was one of the great accomplishments of the American navy during the war. The guns hurled 1,400-pound projectiles far behind the German lines, and were a strong factor in reducing the St. Mihiel salient. Built in Record Time. ' The gun was designed, built and delivered In less than four months. On retary Daniels' official report, hot a December 26, 1917, according to Sec- FOOD FOR TURKS ARRIVING ON CAMELS drawing had been started. On April 25, 1918, a completed gun was rolled on its own wheels to Sandy Hook proving grounds for long-range tests. • The guns, Secretary Daniels said, originally were Intended for the new battle cruisers, but a change in design of the vessels made the guns available for land service. * The guns were mounted on carriages which could be moved freely over the French railroads. With them went their naval crews. Twelve cars were required for each gun--machine shop cars, armored ammunition cars, kitchen, berthing, crane and wireless cars. The batteries were sufficiently mobile that If an order came to move while In action, they could be on their way in an hour. Greatest Range of Mobile Guns. The 14-Inchers had greater range than any gun ever before placed on mobile mountings. The German guns which fired on Paris were "freaks." They were built on permanent steel and concrete foundations. Their projectile was small and specially built for long flight. This reduced their efficiency and while they had moral effect, their military value was small. Because of their permanent position their location was dlscoverd by allied aviators and the guns silenced. The German 15-inch gun In Flanders also became famous for Its longrnnge bombardment of Dunkirk add other allied bases, but neither cou?d he shifted from baSe to base wlthont delay of weeks. The American 14- Inch gun could move from one end of France to another and had a range of 30 miles. At range of 22,000 yards It pierces armor successfully.

In my heart I believed the fellow deliberately lied, but there was no optravelera, even those familiar wftil the hy>*ways, will think of England In connection with the sport of mountain climbing. Yet there la a bit of tumbled country In the west of England where a coterie of devotees of this perilous sport foregather annually at the Christmas season to get a taste of alpine work near home. The village of Wastdale Head, In the Cumbrian mountains, is the base of operations for these outdoorsmen who find their Joy In scaling precipices with a forty foot rope about their waists and a Hundred-yard drop below. The village Itself is one of the picturesque bits pf old England which have not changed much In the last ?500 years. Here you can attend services In what Is probably the smallest church In the world--a tiny building with seats for twenty people. There is an Inn. of course, with a battered signboard, which might have been modeled after a description from Dickens, except that it was flourishing soma centuries before Dickens was born. For eleven months In the year, neither the Inn nor the church at Westdale Head are crowded. But the landlord at the Inn has booked his little rooms with their low ceilings eight months ahead for the cold days of December.
