candidate themselves, they can
proceed in au orderly manner.
There is not much political sense
lit-th attitude taken by those who
style themselves a.i the "Joseph

made threats. Voters do not like

entire country will start on au up-

all authorities predict a prosperous

clean up, make plans and be ready
to go ahead.
This is the week, so they say, in
wh i ch Oregon h i s t ory will be

prominence will meet and nomi

for the office of governor of the
state In th November elections.
It is once in a lifetime for those
men and here is hoping that they
act wisely although Just what
would constitute a wise action Is
hard to say.

Iowa Corn Periled
The double damage of heat and
drought was noted in many grain
slates. In Iowa, particularly, the
fired corn threatened serious loss
to fanners unless benevolent rains
fell soon. An unofficial observer in
iowa reported finding top soil in
corn fields at a temperature of 144
degrees.
The Iowa corn loss, some agri
culturists estimated, already
amounts to one bushel an acre, and
if the drought extends much long

doubled, they said.
William Clapper, president of a
corporation operating five can
neries in Iowa, said the state's
crop for canning, including sweet
corn, has been damaged 20 t o 50

WHAT HAS HAPPENEO
BEFORE
Faith Kilcup marries Noll Wing,
middle-aged captain of the whaler,
Saily Sims, and sails away with
him. Roy, Faith's brother, and
Dan'l Tobey, who loves Faiih, are
among the crew. Noll's strength
Is failing from age and drink.
Seeking to discredit Noll iu Faith s
eyes, Dan'l causes a quarrel be
tween Noll and Mauger, one of the
crew, during which Noll kicks out
Mauger's eye.
NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY
CHAPTER VII
Noll went into Uie after-cabin
and found Faith there. Her back
was turned, she was looking out
of the stern windows. He wished
she would look at him, but she
did not. So he said, his voice
thick with auger and at the same
time plaintive with hunger for a
reassuring word.
"That, damned rat won't try that
again!"
Then Faith turned and told him:
"That was a cowardly thing to
do, Noll, my husband."
He had come for comfort, he
was ready to humble himself, he
was a prey to the instinct of wrong
doing man which bids him confess
and be forgiven. But Faith's eyes
accused him. When a man's wife
turns against him he said, bit

"Keep your mouth shut, child.
This is not a piuk tea aboard the
Sally Sims. You know nothing of
what s necessary to handle rough
men."
Faith smiled a little wistfully.
"I know It is never necessary to
kick au unconscious man In the

He was so helpless with fury and
shame and misery that he raised
his great fist as though he would
have struck even Faith.
"Mind your own mat hers," be
bade her harshly. "The dog struck
me. Where would the ship be if I
let that go? I should have killed
him."
"Did you not?" Faith asked
gently. "I thought he would be
dead."
"No: hell, no!" Noll blustered
"You can't kill a snake. He'll be
poisonous as ever in a day."
"I saw," said Faith ; she shud
dered faintly. "I think his eye
is gone.
. "Eye?" Noll echoed. "What's
an eye? He's lucky to , live.
There's skippers that would have
killed him where he stood. For

The man filing Himself tnen into
insane burst of anger at her.
Ho haled the whole world, baled
Kailh most of all because she
would not soothe him and tell him
never lo mind. He raved at her,
gripped her round shoulders and
shook her, flung her away from
him. He was mad.
And Kaith, steadfastly watching
him, though hur soul trembled,
prayed 111 her heart that she might
find the way to bring Noll back lo
manhood again; she endured his
curses: she endured his harsh grip
upon her shoulders. She waited,
wnne lie xiooueu nt-i wim uue.
And at the end, when he was quiet
for lack of wolds to say, she went
to him and touched his arm.
"Noll," she said.
He Jerked away from her.
"What?"
"Noll look at me."
He obeyed, in spite of himself;
and there were such dentils of ten
derness and sorrow in her eyes
that the man's heart melted iu
him.
"It's not Mauger I'm sorry for,"
she told him. "It's you. Noll.
That you should be so cowardly,
Noll"
His rage broke then; he fell to
fretting, whining. She sat down;
he slumped like a child beside her.
He told her he was tired, weary;
that he was worried; that hi.?
nerves had betrayed him; that thi-JI
drink was in him.
"They're all trying to stir me,"
he complained. "They take a Joy
in doing the thing wrong. They're
helpless, slithering fools. I lOBt
myself, Faith."
Ho pleaded with her, desperately
anxious to make her understand;
and Faith understood from tho be
ginning, with the full wisdom of
women, yet let him talk out all his
unhappiuess and remorse. And
because she loved him, her arms
were about him and his great head
was drawn against her breast long
before he was done. She com
forted him with touches of her
light hands upon his head; she
soothed him with murmurs that
were no words at all.
The man reveled iu this orgy of
self-abasement. He groveled be
fore her until she began to bo
faintly contemptuous in her heart
at his groveling. Shu bade him
make an end of It.
"I was a coward. Faith!" he
cried. "You're right. I was a
coward."
"You are a man, Noll," alio told
him. "Stronger than other men,
auu nui in your lists aione. j uat
is why I love you so."
"1 know, I know," he told her.
"Oh. you're a wonder, Faith."
"You're a man always remem
ber that." he said.
- .JJe got up abruptly. . Ho stin ted
toward the main cabin ami she
asked :
"Where are you going. Noll?"
"Fordward," he said. "I've
wronged Mauger." He was drunk
with this new-found joy of abas
ing himself. "I'll tell the man so.
I'll right things with him." And
he .added thoughtfully: "Ho
cursed me. ! don't want the man's
hate. I'll tight things with him."
She untiled faintly, shook her
head.
- "No. Noll."
Ho was stubborn.
"Yes. Why not? I've "
"Noll, you're the master of ibis
ship." she said thoughtfully. "Old
Jonathan Felt put her in your
charge. You are responsible for
her. And that puis certain obliga
tions on you. Noll. An obligation
to he wise, and to be prudent, and
to be brave."
He came back and sal down be
side her. She touched his knee.
" You are like a king aboard
here. Noll. And the king can do
no wrong. I would not go to
Mauger. if I were you. You made
a mistake, but there Is no need
you should humble yourself before
the men. They would not under
stand: they would only despise
you, Noll."
"Let them!" he said hotly.
"They're sneaking, spineless
things."
"Let them fear you; let them
hate you." she told him. "Hut
never let them forget you are mas
ter. Noll. Don't go to Mauger."
He had no real dpsire to go; ho
wished only to bask In her new
found sympathy. And he yielded
readily enough at last.
The matter passed abruptly.
She rose; he went up on deck: the
Sally Sims went on her way. And
for a day or two Noll Whig, an
old man. was like a hov who has

Mauger returned to bis duties

was discarded a weak later the
hollow socket where his' eye had
been was revealed. His suffering
hail worked a terrible change- in
the man; he had been morose and
desperate: he was now too much
given to chuckling, ns though at
some secret jest of his own.
He went slyly ahout his tasks; be
seemed to have a pride in his
misfortune; when he saw men
shrink with distaste at sight of his
scarred countenance he chuckled
under his breath. In the tipper
lid some maimed nerve persisted iu
living, it twitched, now and then,
iu such a fashion that Mauger
-ei.med to he v inking w ith that
deep hollow- in his face.
