He nodded his head at Alan's denial, and. Without reply to Alan's demand, he Stood listening. Something bent him forward; he straightened; again the something came; again he straightened. Four times Alan counted the potions. Burr was hearing again the four long blasts of distress! But there was no noise but the gate. "The four blasts!" He recalled old Burr's terror outside the radio cabin. The old man Was hear log t>lfsts which. jwire not :|Mown! r He moved on And took the wheel. Be was a"good wheelsman; the vessel seemed to be steadier on her course and, somehow, to steer easier when the old man steered. His Illusions of hearing could do no harm, Alan considered; they were of concern only to ^Btirr and to htm. i Alan fought to keep his thought all "%• his duty; they must be now very nearly at the position where the Richardson last had heard the four long blasts; searching for a ship or for lx>ats, in that snow, was almost hopeless. With sight even along the searchlight's beam shortened to a few hundred yards, only accident could ht-lne ^Number 25 up for rescue, only chance 'fcbuld carry the ship where the shouts *«~or the blasts of distress if the wreck Jtfill floated and had steam--would be tlteard. ;. They were meeting frequent and Iteavy floes, and Alan gave warning of these by halls to the bridge; the bridge answered and when possible the steamier avoided the floes; when It could not 4o that It cut through them. The windowed ice beating and crushing under the bows took strange, distorted, glistening shapes. Now another such shape appeared before them; where the glare dissipated to a bare glow In the swirling snow, he saw a vague shadow. The liian moving the searchlight failed to See It, for he swun§ the beam on. The Shadow was so dim, so ghostly, that Alan sought for it again before he balled; he could see nothing now, yet be was surer, somehow, that be bad ;«pen. ; "Something dead ahead, slrF* be Routed back to the bridge. < The bridge answered the hall as the Searchlight pointed forward again. A *>st carried the snow In a fierce flurry #hlch the light failed to pierce; from the flurry suddenly, sliently, spar by Spar, a shadow emerged--the shadow of a ship. It was a steamer, Alan saw, a long, low-lying old vessel without lights and without smoke from the fun- Bel slanting up just forward of the after deckhouse; it rolled in the trough of the sea. The sides and all the lower Works gleamed in ghostly phosphorescence, it was refraction of the searchlight beam from the Ice sheathing all the ship, Alan's brain told him; but the sight of that soundless, shimmering ehip materializing from behind the screen of snow struck a tremor through bim. "Ship!" he hailed. "AheadI Dead . ^akead, sir! Ship!" I ' ^Tbe shout of quick commands echoed to bim from the bridge. Underfoot be could feel a new tumult of the deck; the engines, Instantly stopped, were being set full speed astern. But Number 25, Instead of .peering off to right or left to avoid the . £»lllslon, steered straight on. The struggle of the engines against fee momentum of the ferry told that ethers had seen the gleaming ship, or, at least, had heard the hall. The skipper's Instant decision had been to put to starboard; he bad bawled that to the wheelsman, "Hard over!" But, . though the screws turned full astern. ISumber 25 steered straight on. The furry was blowing before the bow v ;Hgain: back through the snow the lce- , ihrouued shimmer ahead retreated, i; f -Alan leaped away and up to the wbeeljfcouse. Men were struggling there--the skip- * J>er, a mate, and old Burr, who had V,V field the wheel. He clung to it yet, as Vv *P°e 111 a trance, fixed, staring ahead; ,.r . Shis arms, stiff, had been holding Num- U; : '>er 25 to her course- The skipper V.*-, Struck him and beat him away, while IU-:- the mate tugged at the wheel. Burr £ *- '•"a* torn from the wheel now, and he W--' ®3ade resistance to the skipper's l)lows; but the skipper. In his frenzy, v'C ttruck h,m again and knocked him to 'f f the deck. Slowly, steadily. Number 25 was re- ^ ^ponding to her helm. The bow polnt- ' *d away, and the beam of NJheyferry ^ • came beside the beam of the silent - Steamer; they were very close now, so ^ Close that the searchlight, which had I" • - V . wm Q-y. *.. v turned to keep on the other vessel, fhot above its shimmering deck and p:: lighted only the spars; and, as the wa- •y ter rose and fell between them, the Ships sucked closer. Number 25 shook $' <Wth an effort; It seemed opposing with ^ ; aU the power of its screws some force : fataHy drawing It on--opposing with Pv, the last resistance before giving way. :tl ?Then, as the water fell again, the ferry ; - Seemed to slip aqd be drawn toward other vessel; they mounted, side • aide . . . crashed . . . recoiled , . . . crashed again. That second crash v ' Jthrew all who had nothing to hold by 1 flat upon the deck; then Number 25 moved by; astern her now the silent , 'steamer vanished in the snow. Gongs boomed below; through the *new confusion and the cries of meri orders begun to become audible Alan' scrambling to his knees, put an arm under old Burr, half raising him- the form encircled by his arm struggled ;«Up. The skipper, who had knocked : Burr away from the wheel. Ignored him now. The old man, dragging himself up and holding to Alan, was staring with terror at tte snow screen behind which the veeseAad lips moved. "It was a ship!" he said; he seemed speaking more to himself than to Alan. "Yes," Alan said. "It was a ship; and you thought--" "It wasn't there!" the wheelsman cried. "It's--It's been there all the time all night, and Td--rd steered through It ten times, twenty times, every few minutes; abd then--that time It was a ship!" Alan's excitement grew greater; he seized the old man again. "Yon thought It was the Mlwaka!" Alan exclaimed. "The Mlwaka I And you tried to steer through it again." "The Mlwaka!" old Burr's Hps reiterated the word. "Yea; yes--the Mlwaka 1" He struggled, writhing with soime agony not physical. Alan tried to hold him, but now the old man was beside himself with dismay. He broke away and started aft. The captain's voice recalled Alan to himself, as he was about to follow, and he turned back to the wheelhouse. The second officer, who had gone below to ascertain the damage done to the ferry, came up to report. Two of the compartments, those which had taken the crush of the collision, had flooded Instantly; the bulkheads were holding--only leaking a little, the officer declared. Water was coming Into a third compartment, that at the stern; the pirmjiR were fighting this water. The shock had sprung seams elsewhere; but If the after compartment did not fill, the pumps might handle the rest. ^ Alan was at the bow again on lookout duty, ordered to listen and to look for the little boats. He gave to that duty all his conscious attention; but through his thought, whether he willed It or not, ran a riotous exultation. As he paced from side to side and hailed and answered halls trom the bridge, and while he strained for sight and hearing through the gale-swept snowi the leaping pulse within repeated, "I've found him! I've found him Alan held no longer possibility of doubt of old Burr's identity with Ben* jamln Corvet since the old man had made plain to him that he was haunted by the Mlwaka. Since that night iu the house on Astor street, when Spearman shouted to Alan that name, everything having to do with the secret of Benjamin Corvet's life had led. so far as Alan could follow it, to the Mlwaka; all the change, which Sherrill described but could not account for, Alan had laid to that. Corvet only could have been so haunted by that ghostly ship, and there had been guilt of some awful sort In the old man's cry. Alan had found the man who had sent him away to Kansas when he was a child, who hftd supported him 'here and then, at last, sent for him; who had disappeared at his coming and left him all bis possessions and his heritage of disgrace, who had paid blackmail to Lbke, and who had sent, last. Captain Stafford's watch and the ring which came with it--the wedding ring. Alan pulled his hand from his glove and felt in bis pocket for the little band of gold. What would that mean to him now; what of that was he to learn? And, as he thought of that, Constance Sherrlll came more Insistently before him. What was he to learn for her, for his friend and Benjamin Corvet's friend, whom he, Uncie Benny, had warned not to care for Henry Spearman, and then had gone away to leave her to marry him? For she was to marry him, Alan had read. More serious damage than first reported ! The pumps certainly must be losing their fight with the water In the port compartment aft; for the bow steadily was lifting, the stern sinking. The starboard rail too was raised, and the list had become so sharp that water washed the deck abaft the forecastle to port And the ferry was pointed straight Into the gale now; long ago she had ceased to circle and steam slowly In search for boats; she struggled with all her power against the wind and the seas, a desperate insistence throbbing In the thrusts of the engines; for Number 25 was fleeing fleeing for the western shore. She dared not turn to the nearer eastern shore to expose that shattered stern to the seas. Four bells beat behind Alan; It was tWo o'clock. Relief should have come long before; but no one came. He was numbed now; ice from the spray crackled upon his clothing when he moved, and It fell In flakes upon the deck. The stark figure on the bridge was that of the second officer; so the thing which was happening below the thing which was sending strange, violent, wanton tremors through the ship--was serious enough to call the skipper below, to make him abandon the bridge at this time! The tremors, quite distinct from the steady tremble of the engines and the thudding of the pumps, came again. Alan, feeling them, jerked up and stamped and beat his arms to regalia, sensation. Some one stumbled tdWrfrd him from the cabins now, a short figure In a great coat, it was a woman, he saw as she hailed Mm--the cabin maid. *Tm taking your place!" she shouted to Alan. "You're wanted--every one's wanted on the car deck! The cars " The gale and her fright stopped her voice as she struggled for speech, "The cq.rs--the cars are loose!" -... • \ Xfi, . CHAPTER XVI ;; and resounded in terrible tumult; with the clang and rumble of metal rose shouts and roars of men. To liberate and throw overboard heavily loaded cars from an endangered ship was so desperate an undertaking and so certain to cost life that men attempted It only In final extremities, when the ship must be lightened at any cost. Alan had never seen the effect of such an attempt, but he had heard of It as the fear which sat always on the hearts of the men who navigate the ferries--the cars loose on a rolling, lurching ship! He was going to that now. The car deck was a pitching, sw'aylng slope; the cars nearest him were still upon their tracks, but they tilted and swayed uglily from side to side; the jacks were gone from under them; the next cars already were hurled from the rails, their wheels screaming on the steel deck, clanging and thudding together in their couplings. Alan ran aft between them. All the crew who could be called from deck and engine room and flrehold were struggling at the fantail, under the direction of the captain, to throw off the cars. The mate was working as one of the men, and with him was Benjamin Corvet. The crew already must have loosened and thrown over the stern three cars from the two tracks on the port side; for there was a space vacant; and as a car charged Into that space and the men threw themselves upon It, Alan leaped with them. It was a flat car laden with steel beams. At Corvet's command, the crew ranged themselves beside it with bars. The bow of the ferry rose to some great wave and, with a cry to the men, Corvet pulled the pin. The others thcnst with their bars, and the car slid Corvet Already Was Back Among the Cars Again, Shouting Ordere. down the sloping track; and Cofvet, caught by some lashing of the beams, came with It. Alan leaped upon It and, catching Corvet, freed him and flung him down to the deck, and dropped with him. A cheer rose as the car cleared the fantail, dove and disappeared. Alan clambered to his feet Corvet already was back among the cars again, shouting orders; the mate and the men who had followed him before leaped at his yells. Corvet called to them to throw ropes and chains to bind the loads which were letting go; the heavier loads--steel beams, castings, machinery--snapped their lashings, tipped from their flat cars and thundered down the deck. The cars tipped farther, turned over; others balanced back; It was upon their wheels that they charged forward, half riding, one another, crashing and demolishing, as the ferry pitched; it was upon their trucks that they tottered and battered from side to side as the deck swayed. Now the stern again descended; a line of cars swept for the fantail. Corvet's cr$ came to Alan through the screaming of steel and the clangor of destruction. Corvet's cry sent men with bars beside the cars as the fantail dipped into the^ water; Corvet, again leading the crew, eleafed the leader of those madly charging) cars and ran it over the stern. The fore trucks fe$ and, before the rear trucks reached the edge, the stern lifted and caught the car In the middle; it balanced, half over the water, half over the deck. Corvet crouched under the car with a crowbar; Alan and,two others went with him; they worked the car on until the weight of the end over the waller tipped it down; the balance broke, and the car tumbled and dived. CoTvet, having cleared another hundred tons, leaped back, calling to the crew. They followed him again, unquestioning, obedient. Alan followed close to him. It was not pity which stirred him now for Benjamin Corvet; nor was it bitterness; but it certainly was not contempt. Of all the ways In which be had fancied finding Benjamin Corvet, he had never thought of'seeing bim like this| It was, probably, only for a flftsbi but the great Quality of leadership which he had once possessed, which Sherrlll had described to Alati and which had been destroyed by the threat over bim, had returned to him In thia desperate emergency which he had created. How much or how little of his own condition Corvet understood, Alan could not tell; It plain "only that he comprehended that he had been the cause of the catastrophe, and In his fierce wlR to repair it he not only disregarded all risk to himself; he also had summoned up from wItAAaJifm and was spending the last strength ,of his spirit. But he was spending It In a losing fight He got off two mo<$ esife; yit the deck only dipped lower, and water washed farther and' farther up over the fantail/ Men, leaping from before the charging ears, got caught In the murderous melee of Iron and steel and wheels; men's shrill -cries came amid the scream of metal. Alan, tugging at a crate which had struck down a man, felt aid beside him and, turning, he saw the priest whom he had passed on the stairs. The priest was bruised and bloody; this was not his tirst effort to aid. Together they lifted an end of the crate; they bent--Alan stepped back, and the priest knelt alone, his lips repeating the prayer for absolution. Screams of men came from behind; and the priest rose and turned. He saw men caught between two wrecks of cars crushing together; there was no moment to reach them; he stood and raised his arms to them, his head thrown back, his voice calling to them, as they died, the words of absolution. Three more cars at the cost of two lives the crew cleared, while the sheathing of Ice spread over the steel Inboard, and dissolution of all the cargo became complete. Cut stone and motor parts, chasses and castings, furniture and beams, swept back and forth, while the cars, burst and splintered, became monstrous missiles hurtling forward, sidewise, aslant, recoiling. Yet men, though scattered singly, tried to stay them by ropes and chains while the water washed higher and higher. Dimly, far away, deafened out by the clangor, the steam whistle of Number 25 was blowing the four long blasts of distress; Alan heard the sound now and then with indifferent wonder. AH destruction had come for him to be contained within this car deck; here the ship loosed on itself all elements of annihilation; who could aid It from without? Alan caught the end of a chain which Corvet flung him and, though he knew It was useless, he carried It across from one stanchion to the next. Something, sweeping across the deck, caught him and carried him with it; It brought him before the coupled line of trucks which hurtled back and forth where the rails of track three had been. He was hurled before them and rolled over; something cold and heavy pinned him down; and upon him, the car tracks came. But, before them, something warm and living--a hand and bare arm catching him quickly and pulling at him, tugged him a little farther on. Alan, looking up, saw Corvet beside htm; Corvet, unable to move him farther, was crouching down there with him. Alan yelled to him to leap, to twist aside and get out of the way; but Corvet only crouched closer and put his arms over Alan; then the wreckage came upon them, driving them apart. As the movement stopped, Alan still coulo see Corvet dimly by the glow of the Incandescent lamps overhead; the truck separated them. It bore down upon Alan, holding him motionless and, on the other side. It crushed upon Corvet's legs. He turned over, as far as he could, and spoke to Alan. "You have been saving me, so now I tried to save you," he said simply. "What reason did you Have fbr doing' that? Why haver you been keeping by mef* "I'm Alan Conrad of Blue Rapids. Kansas," Alan cried to him. "And you're Benjamin Corvet! You know me; you sent for me! Why did you do that?" Corvet made no reply to this. Alan, peering at hhn underneath the' truck, could see that his hands were pressed disappeared. His "He Killed Your Father." Alan ran aft along the starboard side, catching at the rail as the deck tilted; the sounds within the hull and the tremors following each sound came to him more distinctly as he advanced. Taking the shortest way to the car deck, he turned Into the cabins , to reach the passengers' companionway. The noises from the car dwk. no | longer muffled by the cabins, clanged CATS SKIN USED AS PAIN KILLER 8ufT«rcrs From Rheumatism May Find There le Something In Rather Novel "Remedy." There are more cnrlous cures for rheumatism than any other disease. Bee sting cure has, of course, long been known, and It certainly seems to do good In' some cases. Other people wear necklaces of beads--amber or ordinary blue glass--to wart off attacks. The belief that a stlvei ring with a piece of copper let Into the side will cure rheumatism Is also very widespread. It Is, at any rate, less Inconvenient than the Cornish cure, which necessitates crawling under a bramble that has formed a second root In the ground, or drinking water in which a "thunder-stone" has been . boiled. " Finally, there is the wearing of a cat's skin, a custom Introduced by Belgian xefogees during the World war. There would seem to be a found reason underlying this particular belief. Stimulate the circulation, and you do something toward curing rheumatism. So If you wear a rough, warm substance like a cat's skin next your body, you reduce your chances of catching rheumatism. ' against his face and that his body shook. Whether this was from soma new physical pain from the movement of the wreckage, Alan did not know till he lowered his hands after a moment ; and now he did not heed Alan or seem even to be aware of him. "Dear little Connie I" he said alonfl. "Dear little Ccfinle! She mustn't marry bim--not him 1 That must be seen to. What shall I do, what shall I dor Alan worked nearer him. "Why mustn't she marry him?" he cried to Corvet "Why? Ben Corvet, tell toe! Tell me why J" "Who aire you ?" Corvet seamed only with an effort £o become conscious of Alan's presence. "I'm Alan Conrad, whom yon used to take care of. I'm from Blue Rap. Ids. You know about me; are you my father, Ben Corvet? Are you lay fit* ther or what--what are you to me?" "Your father?" Corvet repeated. "Did he tell you that? He killed your father." "Killed himf Killed him, how?" "Of course. Be killed them aU--all. But your father--he shot bim; be shot him through the head I" Alan twinged. Eight of Spearman came before him as he bad first seen Spearman, cowering In Corvet's library In terror at an apparition. "And the bullet bole above the eye!" So that was the hois maue by iuu afrci Spearman fired which had killed Alan's father--which shot him through the head! Alan peered at Corvet and called to him. "Father Benltot!" Corvet called In response, not directly In reply to Alan's question, rather In response to what those questions stirred. "Father Benltot!" Some one, drawn by the cry, was moving wreckage near them. A hand and arm with a torn sleeve showed; Alan could not see the rest of the figure, but by the .sleeve he recognized that It was the mate. "Who's caught here!" lie caQaa down. * 1 Benjamin Corvet of Corvet, fiberrljl and Spearman, ship owners of Chicago," Corvet's voice replied deeply, fully: there was authority In It and wonder too--the wonder of a man finding himself in a situation which his recollection cannot explain. "Ben Corvet V the mate shouted In surprise; he cried It to the others, those who had followed Corvet and" obeyed him during the hour before and had not known why. The mate tried to pull the wreckage aside and make his way to Corvet; but the old man stopped him. "The priest. Father Benltot! Send him to me. I shall never leave here; send Father Benltot!" The word wa» passed without the mate moving away. The mate, after a minute, made no further attempt to free Corvet; that Indeed was useless, and Corvet demanded his right of sacrament from the priest who came and crouched under the wreckage beside bim. "Father Benltot !** "I am not Father BenSfetit. I am Father Perron of L'Anse." "It was to Father Benltot of St Ignace I should have gone. Father I . . . The priest got a little closer as Corvet spoke, and Alan heard only voices now and then through the sounds of clanging metal and the drum of ice against the hulL The mate and bis helpers were working to get him free. They had abandoned all effort to save the ship; it was settling. And with the settling, the movement of the wreckage Imprisoning Alan was increasing. This movement made useless the efforts of the mate; It would free Alan of Itself In a moment If It did not kill him; It would free or finish Corvet too. But he, as Alan saw him, was wholly oblivious of that now. His Hps moved quietly, firmly ; and his eyes were fixed steadily on the eyes of the priest ; (TO BE CONTINUED^ , * .. - •• .W; 1; SHE SET TOO FAST A PACE Qood Reason Why Dignified Old Gentleman Really Could Not _"Be a Little Sport" Often In the evening after dusk I go out for a brisk walk along a rather quiet street, taking my fox terrier for company.
