They saw now in the light from the open doors as it streamed against Hester's denuded back and shoul ders a series of livid scars that ran criss-cross on the snowy skin. Hes ter with a low wail tottered against Vinckers, who Sstruck aghast at what had happened was staring down at the jewels at his feet. Isobel was the first to act. She whipped oft the Spanish shawl she was in the habit of wearing eve nings and threw it over Hester's shoulders. It was voluminous, fins of texture and served to drape Jn some fashion the cowering woman. Thrusting Vinckers aside, Isobel took Hester in her arms. "Yon poor thing . . .you poor, poor thing," she said. " "Come into the house. Come, Hester ..." ' . Sandy stood appalled, not at this sudden and shocking -exposure of . the beautiful woman :- who ' had brought it on ; herself, nor , at- the equally startling discovery "of-the stolen jewels. He was like Isobel,' thinking only of those , frightful scars on. Hester's back and. their testimony of the fearful flogging that she must have received, and not so very long ago. His first thought was that Vinckers must have perpetrated this outrage, and for the moment Sandy saw red. Al ready believing Vinckers to be a murderous brute,' he could not have imagined any such brutality as this. For the first time in his - life, Sandy found himself in the grip of a homicidal impulse. All the malevolence of which this man Vinckers appeared to be the sordid receptacle was presented to Sandy's mind not in detail or by his con secutive acts but as a single picture of abstract eviL Vinckers, as Sandy saw him at that moment, required to be immediately abolished, utterly destroyed. Such a being was not fit . to draw another breath. He was the epitome of everything that was vile. Sandv took a- step forward, dropped his right hand on Vinckers' shoulder and spun nun round. Vinckers gave a sort of snarl and strrck out as he turned. The blow was - misdirected, grazed Sandy's jaw. Before it could be repeated .Sandy struck straight and hard. :llis left fist -landed with force and , precision betwen Vinckers eyes, and :as Sandy was still gripping him by the. shoulder,. ..Vinckers .sagged atrairht down in his tracks. ' Jarvis, quick enough of thought and action now that he was no longer playing a part, sprang at oanay iiae a wou. ms training in physical assault, had not been of a kind to attack barehanded, without a weapon, and did not include the effective nse of his fists. As a re-4 suit he received the full comple ment of all that Sandy had to offer. A devastating blow to the point of Jarvis pointed chin. The fellow's consciousness of self went immediately to join that of ' Vinckers, wherever the plane may .be on which this now functioned, j As Jarvis landed on the flagging, the Colonel not waiting for Mouse to lower his- five or more tons of bulk slid over the side of the hunt .in.? howdah ' and to the ground. Colonel Carlton knew- the state of mok when be saw it, and realized that - prompt measures must -taken if these two of his persecutors were to leave that island alive. Eandy was at that moment capable f fiinging these two senseless todies under House, ordering-the elephant to trample on them, or the execution of this order failing, to trample them himself. , The Colonel, a bi? and sti3 pow erful man, thrust himself in front cf Eandy, between him and the senseless body of Vinckers. "Come tack," he said sternly. "Get cut of it. Eemeraber that you are a rrortjman, sir. Don't kick a man test's down." ... .- lla adaiiii'tion could have' been more apt. Eandy fetched up all star.JIr hnv. for a moment in the wi- i. Censure for violence could ret wa held him just then, nor an appeal ta that mercy which for the . morrent i no place in him.

A gentleman boxer does not become overwrought to the degree of fouling, kicking or trampling a prostrate foe.- - :. - -What's got into you, lad!" the Cojonel demanded. "And what got into Mouse? Why did he strip Hes ter? I'd never have believed it of the old pet." He turned and looked reproachfully at .Mouse who was slowly swaying Jback i and forth. Mike spoke up from where he sat perched .cross legged on Mouse's neck... . r i" i "Sure the lady stuck her lighted cigarette in his troonk, sir.'. ." fWhat? She had no better sense than that? Well, then, jshe got no more than her desserts. . . , - . - Colonel: Sandy cried. "That poor woman's back is one mass of livid weals. This brute Vinckers . . ." - "What? Weals, did you say? Ah, my boy, that wasn't Vinckers. That was the Russian knout. . "The . ... the knjutl". if "Yes, yes, yesVpoer girl. A dread ful punishment she never did any thing to merit. The only one, per haps.

"What-o . . . I say . . . what's this'. what's this?" ,-:;.::.! ? He stopped and picked up the string ef gems that .Mouse had shaken from some part of Hester's scanty evening costume, held them at arms length, blazing and glit tering in the torchlight. "Ho ... I see. I knew he'd nicked 'era. My instinct about such things has never played me false. So that' a what the old rascal was after. Don't tell me that elephants haven't second sight. They can read the guilty mind . . . resort to the lost wisdom of the long dead ages of which they are a relict.' when thoughts were open books to the minds of men, and the lower creatures of the epoch were possessed of a proportoionate intelligence . . , In-the revulsion of feeling from censure of his colos sal' pet theColonel now swung to the other extreme, endowed Mouse with gifts transcending the umita tion of special senses, entirely ig nored what Alike had said, despite the fact that only a" few days pre viously Mouse had treated in sim ilar fashion a negress who had foolishly put snuff m the sensitive receptacle that quested sweets. "But Sandy was - still fuming. "Vinckers rot no more than what t was owing hinv Colonels Only last nrgnt ne tooic a pot shot at me from the mangroves, when I was coming ashore m tcesampan." :, : - -; The Colonel looked more pained than shocked. "What, he potted at you, the fat pampered rascal ? At what range? "Oh, about two hundred : yards, sir. . . ... ... "And missed you clean ? The Colonel shook his head. ."Then he didn't shoot to-kill, or even maim you. ivancy; I've seen Vinckers prac tice. He's in the championship class. at nzea or moving targets. Won no ends of cups. The fact that you are here shows he didn't -want to mt you, Sandy."...; , "All " the - more fool Vinelr. then," Sandy growled. "I gave him credit for it and he might have had to foot quite a bill." -- He was trvinsr to scare vnn nflf. Sandy," the Colonel said soothinirlv. There s really no great harm ui Vinck ... in any of them. Theyre a good deal MuS, loud speakers. poor wiui uiat somecow nave missed oct. - Largely ray fault, I'm afraid. Ko mere money allowance however generous can ever take the puce cf parental care. 4va neg lected 'era. Never gave 'em the benefit cf my knowledge and larre experience until too late. Here's the revolt. The moment I haul off for a Lttle peace from their demands they begin , to misbehave. Get naughty ... oh well . . ."; . . bandy listened to this in astonish ment. One moment the Colonel was convincing and the next be seemed to spoil his effect by what sounded to be utter childishness.- andv felt moved to protest. ther the Bearcats have gone all to pieces or whether they are still a cracker-Jack ball club that wor ries pitchers. It Is also important because the Oregon -Willamette series aa come to be the big staff In Oregon collegiate base ball. Consistently they turn out the best college teams. The pitcher of the Bearcats, who outhlt Whitman twice In losing-, will try to worry n one of Monday's two games will be none other than, - Bill "Chic" Ka ylesv the phenom peed-ball-er who- showed baseball pitch ins; last summer to an mnappre ciatire audience of some 100, 00 Germans, Anstrians and Scandinavians at the Olympics. He beat Willamette once this year in a close game and the Bearcats, - who really should have saved up something from that Whitman series, are laying-for him. , Because of; the Great God OHSAA didn't have anything to say about this, contest Lee Fal- Un pitched for Salem high against the Oregon State Rooks - yester day. Fallia was the speed artist lad who' couldn't play this year on account of having been going to school a little too long to 3e le gal. He got hit plenty, -which 1s excusable for a guy pitching, his first and only; game of the sea son, but he struck out 11 Rooks with that booming fast' ball of his, a fact which made Harold Hauk aver that had Fallin been all sea son with the Vikings they would have won 12 out of 14 Instead of vice versa. Ever since the first teasing ray of sunshine came trickling through the valley little guys have been coming up to us and kicking us on the shin and say ing, "Hauser, you big lug, is The Statesman going to have another baseball ; school this . year ?" So today we are glad to announce to all the young by t Henry C. Rowland "But, Colonel, really, the man is dangerous, and Jarvis too. You don't understand. They are two bad eggs." ' . Colonel Carlton patted him on the shoulder. "I know . . . I know. I was -quite wrong to haul off that way. Vinckers took advantage of it. They all did. A sort of animal cun ning. Vinckers must have wanted to make you believe that the blacks had gone rank, got scared and ragged edged and that' they might sneak back and try to harm you. He hoped that you would take Isobel and decamp, if only on her account, and then he might try to make me : think he had returned the jewels. I knew he'd copped 'em. Found the. tracks of his hunting boots where he made a misstep up the gully. He'd have turned them over to me. even if old House hadnt stripped Hester, poor girl. Don't tell me ele phants haven't their sixth sense perfectly developed.' The old pet is uncommon though, an elephantine seer." He chuckled, shook his head, then clapped Sandy on the shoulder again. To tell the truth, my boy. it wouldn't have upset me a bit if you had taken Isobel and, cleared" for Nassau and married her .out of hand..." - "I tried to." Sandy said, "but she wouldn't go. She flatly refused to walk out on you." "Well, I might have known that, she's a high spirited girl." Vinckers sat up suddenly, looked about in dazed fashion, and strug gled to his feet. . "What was that for, Crewe?? he asked thickly. , "For . stealing Isobel 's jewels," -Sandy said shortly. "Well. : But you dont know the half of it. We four have got a claim of sorts. The Colonel admits thai I much." He lurched away to the house and up the stairs. - j . Colonel Carlton clapped ; his ' hands. Sambo's huge bulk material ized from some dark'shadow, like ! the presence of a jinn summoned.! "Carry Mr. Jarvis up to his room," the Colonel directed. Then to Mike: "Put Mouse to bed and see that he's all secure.. This silly rumpus has excited the old sweetheart. Sandy, come into my office. 1 want to talk to you." :, - .' - - Certainly the rumpus had in no way excited the Colonel." He seated himself in the big desk chair, thrust his sturdy legs straight out and looked at Sandy with the benevolent expression of a kindly grandparent who has romped-with the children for a few indulgent momenta be fore packing them off to bed. " "To paraphrase the trite old saw, Sandv! 'Somt mon in Knm f .Ih.n . others acquire fatherhood and still - others have fatherhood thrust upon them." In the course of a very full life all three of these conditions have' happened to me. The first Lalas, no longer need be considered, nor tne last, dux tne second requires a bit of managing." "Do you mean," . Sandy asked, "that Hester and Jarvis are like I so- -bel, your children by adoption?" i "Not precisely," said the Colonel. "In the ease of Isobel the act was drawn up in due legal form after the death of her father, who had au thorized it when he realized that he could not hope to recover from his wounds. My adoption of the others was merely nominal, unofficial. Jar vis and r lavia as well. - - - , -r "Holy smoke Sandy breathed. w "Quite so. Why else, in the name of Jehosophat do you suppose I would have put up with all this fool ishness? Do X impress yea as the sort of man to be bluffed off the boards by mere blackmailers ? And so far as that goes, all they had on me was Isobel's finding out that she was actually . na kin of mine but merely . one of a family of my adopted children. An entirely differ ent sort, of course, but standing in the siitne relationship to mvir t. Isobel is a lady born and with the pnae tr tier caste. I was afraid that if she found out she would quit me cold, tmd naturally I didn't want that t happen. But I suunose." he added reflectively, "it was bound ta happen anyhow, when the rirbt man came along. And now that's happened too. So here we are."
