Walsh SYNOPSIS CHAPTER XVII: Dick, out scout- Ing, discovers that the lugger is tnchored on the other side, Worse Jtitl, the Carib crew fs ashore and apparently in battle with & group of white men. Dick recognizes Hen Pettigrew and others who were pas- bengers on the steamer, CHAPTER XVIII The island was long and narrow, with the opposite side disappearing in the sea gradually, a fine sandy beach fringing half of it in the shape of a crescent horseshoe, The descent from the rocks to the beach was sharp and abrupt. One could make it in a brisk run or walk, Dick took this all in swiftly like the flash of a cinematograph. Then his eyes came to a sharp halt on an object in the cove formed by the crescent beach, With a quick intake of the breath, he exploded: "The lugger! Tucu's crew's on the island!" The lugger was anchored near the beach where she had probably ridden out the storm in perfect safety, Tucu had known of the is- land and its protecting cove. The sails were flapping idly in the breeze, stretched for drying in the warm sun. The deck was deserted. There was no sign of any one aboard, * * * Jut this was casily accounted for by the presence of two boats drawn up on the sands. The crew was all ashore, Dick could see them in scattered groups. A sudden fear that they had discovered the Betty on the opposite side of the island, and were preparing to attack her from the land side, made him wary and watchful. Then his eyes took in other fea- tures of the beach. Some distance back from the water where the rocks broke through the sand, an- other group of scamen were hud- dled together. They were standing in an attitude of watchfulness and waiting. One of their number was advancing to confer with the Ca- ribs, Dick gazed in puzzled surprise and stupified amazement. These others were white men--seamen, shipwrecks! « . * There were seven in all, count- ing their leader who was parleying with the Caribs. Dick frowned for no other reason than that some- thing in their appearance, or in their leader's attitude, reminded him of the past and for a long time he was silent and thoughtful, striving to recall a fleeting memory that disturbed him, "Hen Pettigrew!" his lips mur- mured finally, The explanation of the group of white men on the beach was all comprehensible, One of the boats of the City of Bahia had landed on the island of beéén wrecked there, the survivors having fought their way through the surf to the beach. And the hoat was the one in which Hen Pettigrew had left. The discovery was not pleasant to Dick. His recognition of the man who had pursued him: half around a continent, shadowing him as persistently as a bulldog, and finally capturing him in a small, out of the way corner of the earth, gave him a distinct shock. With a quiver, he recalled Hen's parting words: "If we meet again--on shore-- I'll pinch you. It's my duty." He glanced back of him. The schooner was resting quietly in its protecting prison, rising and fall- ing lazily, On the deck Captain Bedford was busy making repairs to the sails and rigging, preparing for escape before another storm canie, Rose stood alone at the bow, and as Dick looked--she waved to him, He groaned and waved back to er, Then violent words sprang to Is lips. "Damn Hen! He shan't take me! I'll kill him first! Tt isn't fairl I've paid--paid enough for another's crime! I'll die fighting for freedom! Damn it, I'll jump into the sea first!" Rose was still waving to him, cupping her hands occasionally as if shouting words of encouragement, He listened, but the distance was too far to catch her voice, Suddenly the fit of angry passion deserted him, leaving him limp and weak: He groaned aloud: "She will know! Hen will tell her! I can't escape it!" Her name sprang to his lips, and with a cry of anguish he dropped his head on the hard rocks. The inevitable fate that had pursued him was closing about him, and he was glad now that he hadn't spok- en to her. He shivered at the thought. At least he had saved her that humiliation, When he glanced up again his mind 'was calmer and his white face, drawn and strained, had less of the rebellious lines in it, The men on the beach were still parley- ing. Dick wondered what sort of bargain they could make with Tucu. The old pirate would demand all he could get and take it. Tucu was like Hen--inexorable and greedy. N * * While he looked the parley sud- denly terminated, and Captain Tucy, who had been conversing with Hen, turned on his hcels to walk back to his waiting Caribs; but half way there he wheeled so swiftly that Hen was taken off his guard. There was a puff of smoke, and a sharp report. Hen Pettigrew staggered back and nearly fell, reel- ing as If suddenly bereft of all powers of locomotion, At the sate instant a group of Caribs, led by Black Burley, start- ed forward on the 'run, firing as they came, Dick saw Pettigrew reel again, and this time pitch head first into the sand, The Caribs rushed past him, filling the air with their shots, Dick waited to hear the return- ing volley from the white seamen, as the Caribs advanced, dodging from side to side, but no response came from them. Tucu had armed every one of his crew but they were poor shots, "They're waiting until the Ca- ribs are nearer," Dick mused joy- fully. "I wish"--a little regretfully --""Hen was there. Hen's a dead shot." « * * Nearer and nearer came the Ca- ribs to the entrenched fortress of the scamen. Dick noticed for the first time they were protected by a rampart of rocks they had gather- ed for a breastwork, "Hen's work," he chuckled. "Hen's shrewd in a fight, Didn't trust old Tucu." The attacking party was within a stone's throw of the breastwork, and still the white men held their fire. Ten feet nearer, and the sail- ors rose as one man, Dick held his breath, expecting a withering. volley from them! but instead a shower of rocks and stones filled the air, Two of the Caribs went down, and a third stumbled and halted. The others dropped to the beach to escape the flying missles, and the attack was temporarily checked. "Why don't they shoot now?" growled Dick, "They could get them if--" * * * He stopped and drew a deep breath as the unpleasant explana- tion forced itself sharply upon his mind, The seamen from the wreck- ed steamer carried no firearms, or if they had taken them away with them, as Hen must have tak- en his, the salt water had rendered them useless, They were unarmed, except for the stones, while the Caribs were plentifully supplied with gung, ISSUE 51--1946 Make Your Own Gift Wrappings I became interested In clever homemade wrappings last year when I found a gift wrapped in a good grade of plain white paper with little personal messages writ- ten across it, writes E.G.K., in The Christian Science Monitor. In one direction in red ink three messages were crisscrossed Dy others in green ink. I think they said, In one direc- tion, in green: "To my dearest friend- Christinas 1945" and "I'll be thinking of you December 25," and "Irom Betty to Esther -- a Very Merry Christmas." In the other direction and in red ink were written these sentences, all spaced far apart: "A Jolly Christmas to * You All--Betty," "Do you remem- ber Christmas 19407" "T'was such fun!" and "My Christmas package Brings Love--DBetty." No need for a Christmas card enclosure when such intimate and "different" messages are found on the wrapper. Spattered Wrapping Paper Two other gift wrappings were made of spattered plain white wrapping paper. Several small candles cut from cardboard were laid carelessly on the paper while green paint was spattered around it. When the cardboards were lifted, the white space left unspat- tered formed the design--a very pretty effect it gave. The other was spattered around a star inter- mingled with three angel designs. Yes, and a third was spattered over a few holly leaves. Colorful wallpapers, with red and green floral designs or In stripes, have been used to good advan- tage, too, for wrappings. Tiny stars scattered on a scrap of thin white cloth make a pretty gather- ed bag for a glass of jelly. You will want a few stars on the rib- bon tie, too.

After a special family Christmas dinner, the girls of the household placed five piles of grain upon the kitchen floor; each pile was given a name, such as Hope, Ring, Money, Thread and Charcoal. A drowsy hen was fetched from the henhouse and allowed to walk around the kitchen floor and choose a pile of grain, Obviously the hens choice of Money meant wealth; Ring, fore- told a wedding within a year; and Hope, promised the fulfillment of a wish or a long journey. If the sleepy chicken chose the grain designated as Thread, a life of toil was predicted for the marriage- able maiden of the household; and Charcoal was considered an omen of death in the family, England's New Mechanical Cook Not Temperamental "Cookery," declared Robert Bur- ton in the seventeenth century, "is become an art, a noble science; cooks are gentlemen." More often, says The Christian Science Moni- tor, they have been ladies -- now they may be machines, For Eng- land has recently been exhibiting a mechanical cook that can "cut, brew, stir, knead and mix any in- gredient in a maximum of three minutes." Here, indeed, is the "no- ble science," if not the art, and al- 80, it would seem, one of the most helpful of the great and growing army of robots. It is true that we do not know if it has a light hand with pastry, or is ingenious with salads, But of one thing we can be sure, it may be cranky but not tem- peramental, and will never deserve the reproach that: "She was a.good cook as cooks go, and as cooks go, she went." Candles These candles are such [lovely things All amber-tipped and bright. They give the mellow radiance I like on Christmas night. So I have lighted small red ones Upon the waiting tree; Tall green ones on the mantel shelf To show the room to me. But this so slender, silver one-- Much beauty cheaply priced-- I bought to mark my window sill With the halo of the Christ, And shepherd-like; all through the night, J Watching across the hill, It will remind some traveller Of peace--and of good will. /s Attention Young People!

School Lesson --_-- A Message of Love John 8: 16; Ephesians 3: 14-21, Golden Text.--Thanks be to God for his unspeakable gift.--2 Corin- thians 9:15. The Gospel Defined The first verse of this lesson has probably been used to the salva- tion of more persons than my other verse in the Bible. Briefly it con- tains the whole gospel: (1) The need of salvation, "should not per- ish"; (2) The origin of salvation, God's love; ( ° The ground of sal- vation, the death of Christ; (4) The condition of salvation, "be- lieveth on Him"; (5) The recipi- ents of salvation, "whosoever"; (6) The results of salvation, "should not perish" and "should have eternal life", One Family Paul pictures himself in the at- titude of prayer with knees bowed unto the Father. Paul here repre- sents all holy beings in heaven and on earth belonging to one great family having its source in God, named from God and strengthened with power. This strengthening was not to be merely outward, but in the in- ner depths of their beings--in the inward man. The strengthening was to be through the only agency that can impart real strength, "His Spirit", Abode of Christ The heart, the whole inner be- ing was to be. the abode of Christ: The indwelling is "through faith". He is ever ready to come in and dwell, but faith opens the door and brings Him in, They would be "rooted and grounded in love", as a thriving plant is rooted in good soil and a great building is ground- ed on a solid foundatfon. The Spirit's Power All the text here points to the vastness in every direction of the love of the Christ. But though it "passeth knowledge" still by the Spirit's power we may know it. It is "with all the saints" in fellowship and not in separation by ourselves at we apprehend this love. No one of us can apprehend it by our- selves. All our petitions to God and all our thought of what He can do will to do all things is already at w in us, namely, the power of the Holy Spirit. To this mighty God Paul ascribes all the glory. The glory of power as shown in Christ, shared with the church, and avail- able unto all generations, must be ascribed unto God supremely and forever.
