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- .
A whaler s crew arc for the most
part scum; harmless euough when
they are held In hand, easily man

fear. Hut alcohol drives tear out
of a man; and there was whiskey

from this room at command; he

he. might use Uoy; and he did so
without scruple.
'"I've need for liquor. Roy," he
tdjd the lad. "Hut I'd not ask
Noll. He's jealous of the stuff, as
you- know, . 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

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. Toward ten
Hint night, when Hrander was in
his hammock under (hu boalliouse,
oue of the men howled, forward,
;nd there was the sound of scuf
fllug In the fo'c's'le. Dan'I was aft,
waiting. 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

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. So there was
whiskey loose!
.A man sped up the ladder past

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.
I wo other men crouched at oppo
site sides of the fo'c's'le watch
ing. One was Muuger; the other
sinner. -. ;
"Slop It, now!" Blunder cried.
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

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

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..
Hh saw nothing. ,
"Mr. Hrander?" be called. .
- "Yes, Bir," Hrauder Bald quietly.
"All right."
"What's wrong there?"
"Slatter tried to knife m."
"Have you got him?"
"I doji't kuow. He's still. Strike
a light, if you please."
