He cultivated Slatter tended toe man's huru, aud gave liim covert sym pathy lor the beating lie had ta ken; and Slatter. emboldened, swore harshly thai he would finish Hrander, give him hall a chance. Dan'l said hastily and quietly. "Don't talk sikIi mutters, man. There's more than you aboard ship would do that it they dared, i'm not saying even Noll Wing would not smile to see Blander gone. No matter why." "I know why," Slatter grinned evilly. "Every man forra'd knows v.hy!" "Well, tliPii, you'll not blame Noll.' said Dan:. "I'm thinking he'd fair kiss the man that had a hand in ending Hrander, if It was not ilone too open; but there's none j aboard would dare it." "tly God, let me get him forra'd, i right, and 1 11 "Quint !" said Dan'I. "Here's the man himself!" Here was his tool; Dan'I walled only the occasion. There was way to make that. ; t- .

So when next you're down, fill a jug with whiskey, and feTch it up to me." He said it so ('usually that Roy agreed without question. The boy Mrs pleased to serve Dan'I. Dan'I hVJd him; had captured Roy, heart and soul. Hoy gave him the jugful of .liriuor next morning. Slatter had It by nightfall, and that with out. Dan'I a appearing lu the matter. Slatter came aft to take the wheel, ajid Dan 1 saw to it the jug was lu his sight and at hand. .Slatter car ried It forward with him. He passed Dan'I in the waist; und Dan'I looked at the jug and lauchcd und said: ''Man that looks like- liquor .'Slatter grinned uneasily. "Oil for the fo'c's'le lamp," he said. ,J)au'I wagged his head. "See that that's so," he said. "U any ructions start In the fo'c's'le, I'll Bend Hrander forward to quiet you. You'll not brvantlng Hran der to lay hands on you again." Slatter's eyes shifted hungrily; hp went on his way with quick i'iet. Dan'I watched him go, and Ills-eyes set hard. That was at dusk.

He called to Hrander; .w(ln forward and put a stop to that yammering, Mr. Hrander." Urnndor slid out of his hammock, assented quietly and started for ward along the deck. Dan'I watched his dark figure In the night until it was lost in the waist of the Sil ly. He waited a moment. Blunder must be at the fo'c's'le scuttle by now. Tame cries blown, n tumultuous outbreak. The Sully rang with the storm of battle. Then, abruptly, quiet. At 1 (hat smldpn-iulling quiet, Dnh'l turned pale In spile or him mill; he licked his lips. The thing w-a done! He ran forward, virtu ously ready to lake a hand. When Hrander. at DanTs com mand, went forward to quiet the nin In the fo'c's'le, he found two or three of the crew on deck about the scuttle, watching the tumult below. When they heard hhn and saw him. they backed nwuy. The lluht from the fo'c's'le lamp dimly illumlnt'd their races; and Hrander thought there was Rotneihiiu mur derous and at the same time fur tive, lu their eyes. -More than (hut, he caught the smell of alcohol.

Hut to do so would he to engage his hands aud his feet, and be might well have need of both these mem bers. He nut his hands on the edge of the focsle scuttle and dropped lightly to the floor of the locsle without touching the lad der. He landed on his lues, poised, ready. The narrow, crowded, triangular uen was limit with the smell of hot men. of whiskey, of burning oil the air was heavv with smoke. A single swinging lamp lighted the place, iieneath this lamp, four or live men were involved in a baltlf from which arms were waved awk wardly as I heir owners struggled.

The character or the struggle changed; the fighting men straight ened.' Rome one hit the lamp and sent It whirling into darknesa; and at the same moment, Hrander heard Rlalter scream murderously, lie slipped to one side hacked Into a coiner und held IiIh hunds before him. ready to meet an attack. Slal lei's churge, If he were at tacking Hrander, should have car ried the man past the mate's hid lug-place; hut Hrander, in the dark, heard mtlliuinp of two bodies to gether, heard Slatter bellowing profunily, heard heels thumping upon Hie floor. Then two or three, men made a rush up the bidder to the deck. Hrander stepped forward, tripped over a winning leg, and dropped upon a smother of two bodies which writhed beneath him. An arm was flylns; he gripped for it and felt the prick of n knife in Ills wrist. Death in the air! - He dragged that arm down to his race und bit at the wrist and the bark of the hand till lie felt the knife drop from the man's fin gers. The three of them were writhing and striking and kicking n nil ntmnglliig; hut the lmlle wus gone. He he.enn to rumble with his right hand, seeking marks for his flsls. He did not Btrlke blindly. but when be struck, his blows went home on someone's ribs, and burk, and once on tho neck at the buse of the ear. They were fityliig In silence now. All had passed so quickly that It was si i 11 scarce more than seconds since Hrander dropped into the fo'c's'le. Their bodies thumped the planking resonantly: they struggled in a fashion that shook the ship. They were gasping aud chokiu for breath. , Someone screamed terribly In nrundur'a very ear, and a hand that was gripping his neck relaxed and fell away. The bodies of the righting men were tor an Instant still: and In that Instant's silence, someone asked: "You all right, Mr. Hrauder?" llrunder knew the voice Maus ers. "Ves," he said. Manger saulrmed out from un der llrunder. What hit Slatter?" he asked of five officials, today admitted that he turned prohibition agent six years ago to get" William M Whitney, then asslstunt admini strator, because "he lied about me. Hubbard's startling admission came during his cross-exuminaifon on his fifth day on the stand as star government witness in the uyle-Whitney conspiracy trial. Defense Attorney C. I. Morlarty then aHked whether Hubbard had been working !o betray Mr. Whit ney during the entire six years he was directly or Indirectly connect ed with the prohibition office, but Hubbard said he had not tried to "gel" Whitney during the "entire time." He was an agent. The defence created a sensation during the cross-examination by asking Huhhard whether It was not true that he had offered to "sell out" as a government witness in the Clyde Itugan liquor conspiracy case In Whatcom county. Morlarty asked A. C. Durham. attorney in the Itagun case, who was in the audience in the court room, to stand and asked Hubbard If he bnd not offered to "keen quiet' for a payment of $500. Hull- hard admitted he hud talked to Durham, but denied that he bad made such a proposition to him. Officers of both the W. C. t. U. and nntlssaloon league were reV vealed as defense witnesses. Hubbard was asked If he had gone to Mrs. Lillian Vincent, presi dent of the W. C. T. If. In west ern Washington, and told her that she "would get , into trouble" If she aided In any movement to oust Kd B. Bean of Aberdeen as United Slates marshal. Hubbard admitted sharply. "Did you get him?" Hrander got up. and the body of Slatter fell away from his limply. It was about that time that Dan'I reached the fo'c's'le scuttle above and looked down Into the darkness..
