Quickly, but clearly and fully, he outlined his plan. At first she was aghast with a eftement tinged with fear.

What will you do with Joe? "What will 1" do with you?" He forced a short, hard laugh. The situ- ation was taking an ugly angle for him--one he had feared' from the start. It appeared that she intended using him_as a spur to produce jeal- ousy, as a whip with which to lash the refractory "Shark" Hogan into line with her pleasure, And above this one fact battered its way into his brain, crowding the others helter skelter. She was beauti-|! ful! And as she stood tensed against the ship-railing with the storm-black eky and flashing lightning as a back- ground, she presented a striking pic- ture. She was beautiful, and in that beauty lurked danger. To win the enmity of "Shark" Hogan was un- fortunate under any circumstances, but to do it aboard the ship of which he was master was courting disaster, "What will I do with you?" he re- peated. "Why; this isn't my party. You're the captain's guest--not mine, you know. He is in command here, and I'm only second mate, If I inter- fered with his personal plans it might not. exactly please him." Slowly she turned aboui again, staring out over the water. "I'm--I'm sorry," she faltered. "Perhaps things will: come out all right. But please understand I am no guest of that beast's. "I merely took passage on his boat. The first ques- tion I attempted to ask you to-night was--" " 'Never "mind!" It was the cap- tain's wveico directly behind them-- thick with: . liquor and ugly in tone, "You--you, Bronson--you're sup- posed to be reefing canvas. Don't need your help here.

The, incoming tide was running heavy, but the choppy, buffeting un- certainty of the waves had given way to long, steady swells. The wind, however, was increasing in violence. The storm was developing from a promise to a certainty, and within a few hours at most the Straits of Juan de Fuca would be lashed to fury by the inrushing torrents from the Pacific, At an instant when the captain was at the far end of the boat Bronson passed the girl: "Be where I showed you in tén min- utes," he shouted without slowing his step. "All right," was her crisp reply. With a quick bound, taking - the steps two at a time, he was in the pilot-house. Gripping the wheel he snapped his orders to the helmsman. "You're off course. Report to the captain astern immediately." "Yes, sir--but--" "Captain's orders." "Yes, sir," and with that the aston- ished sailor descended the steps to report to the captain who was pacing the stern deck. Quick as a flash Bronson spun the wheel and leaped down the steps with a single bound. Gaining the deck he darted behind the cabins to.the girl's side. From the small boat in the { davits overhead he drew two jacket life-preservers, to one of which he at- tached a small, strong line--perhaps sixty feet in length. Quickly he fastencd the belt with the line about the girl's waist, shout- ing in her ear ag he did so: "Jump as far out as you can--into the trough of the waves. As far as you can, remember!" The boat had swung broadside and was wallowing heavily--staggering under the heavy impact of the storm- driven waves, ering so that only prompt action in the pilot-house could save it from disaster. That, Bronson reasoned, would keep | Wr the captain busy for a few minutes. Long enough for them to be lost in the darkness. But a glance up to the pilot-house roved otherwise--for he saw "Shark" ogan stumble out and down the steps, waving an ugly automatic in his hand. The man's wits were evidently more alert than Bronson anticipated, for it was plain he had seen' through the ruse and left the helmsman to the boat while he. found its perpe- trator.

Somewhere a few miles from the Isle of Lines a rich treasure awaits the new submarine, which will dare to dive deeper than any other has ever done. It is at the bottom of the Cirib- bean Sea, and consists ofa great store of jewels, gold, and.twelve tons of silver bars. And that is but one of hundreds of similar hulls, choke full of treasure, which cumber the bottom of the Spanish Main. Every schoolboy knows the poem "Casabianca," which commences with the oft-parodied line: "The boy stood on the burning deck," but not all who repeat it-know that the deck was the deck of L'Orient, which Nelson blew up at the battle of the Nile. Now, it is a fact that when that big battleship blew up she had on board specie to the value of £500,000, and an immense quantity of other valu- ables, in all amounting to a million sterling. . None of this bas ever been recovered. That wag a costly explo- sion, both in life and treasure. "A British warship, the Hussar, went down with over a million sterling on board in gold in 1780, but probably the biggest disaster of this kind was when the British frigate De Brook was lost Tested Recipes.

One of the oddest of the customs of foreign people is that of the Hawal- ians in regard to newly born babies. {- When a child is "spoken for".by some relative or friend, the little baby, as soon as jt can leave its mother, will be given to the foster mother and will be regarded as a sacred trust. This custom originated when there were many tribes often at war with one an- other and was intended to bring peace among them.- ZL The story is told of one woman who was the mother of eight children, seven of whom had been adopted by friends. She could not refuse to let them go, for she believed that if she refused some harm might come 'to them: . The custom leads to amusing complications. A native princess | now living has given her baby to her "own mother. The little girl is legally adopted and therefore is the grand- mother's daughter and her mother's sister. ren 4 Minard's Liniment used by Physiclana wal} - overalls and shirtsare roomy: sonfoptabls, and nade . hilly Tor designed them fo far Taent Nat yoy sighed + want: to stretch hour arms and eas groasially BOB LONG 'GLOVES will outwear any other make of Glove on the market, because they. are made by skilled work- men from the strongest flove: = leather obtainable.
