SYNOPSIS: The plan of Oaptatn Wont Bo and hla radio operator, Flint, to acuttla the "Boldero" for the Insurance has been temporarily postponed by the Illness of Anaus McLeod. olcLeod la tak Ina a cario of animals to Sineapore, but must ao ashore at the Dutch port of Blnbao for an appendicitis operation. Har vey Bowers, bla aame hunter, offers to chaperone the animals on to Singapore, and enaaees Ivy Oreen, animal trainer In a defunct circus, as helper. Xyy tells Bowers about a claaret-eatlng honey bear. Chnpter Nine FINAL INSTRUCTIONS "Didn't masticating clgareta make the honcy-bear sick?" asked Bowers. "Ho said not," Ivy answered, smiling. "He would rub his stomach when they were down, and the ex pression on his face was not pain. It was sheer bliss. For some time after he had swallowed s package of cigarets he would look and be have like a blessed angel." They drew up presently In front of the hospital, and after hesitirSon, Bowers thought that Miss Green had better be on hand In case Mc Leod wished to ask her questions. "I won't tell him that I have en gaged a woman," said Bowers. "But these Scots are devilish shrewd and he may guess. Then, of course, he would want to see you. But don't worry about that. You have sold yourself to me absolutely, and you'll sell yourself to him." Like everything else In Dutch Malaysia, the Slmbao hospital had an Immaculate look. A man need not have objected to eating his CHBISTOPHF.lt CAWS By Mary Graham Bonner "Caw, caw, caw, caw, caw-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w," cried Christo pher from the pond. The two men were there. Willy Nilly rushed down to the pond. "What is It?" he asked excitedly. "We Just came down here to wash our hands and faces," one of the men answered. "It would be fun, we thought, if we camped out for a night, and so we did not go on with our Journey. "Besides we thought we'd wait around another day and ask you once more if you wouldn't agree to our plan. If not, we have another one." Willy Nllly's heart sank. Without a doubt the other plan would be that they'd take the cubs without his permission, and then let him try to get them back. "What is the other plan?" Willy Nilly asked In such a frightened tone of voice that even its sound made him nervous. "We wondered if you wouldn't let as have the cubs Just for one piC' ire and we'll bring them back in a jw months or less. They are tne very cuds we neea tame, uueiii Kent everything." Willy Nilly felt relieved. So they were merely going to ask for the cubs for a shorter time. They had no idea of taking them away. But no wonder he had felt nervous after all that had happened, and the ups and downs thev had ha. "I'm very, very sorry, for you've both been very patient and pleas- knt, and I regret that my ducks didn't make you more welcome at ihclr pond. But we can never let the cubs go not Tor so mucn as a month!

" w w w yw curry from the veranda Instead of from a clean plate. The building was of modern con struction. It was only one story In height, but there was a fine big air-space under the green-tiled root, and strategically placed electric fans helped to keep the tempera ture down. The appointments of the hospital were surprisingly modern. On the right, as you went in, was a wait-lug-room with selections of news papers and periodicals. On the left there was an office where you gave your named and stated your busi ness to a sweet-faced middle-aged Dutch woman In a nurse's uniform. But Bowers, apparently, did not have to give his name. He had ac companied McLeod to the hospital earlier in the day. and the woman remembered him. She nodded to him and spoke softly through a tele phone, and almost Immediately Dr. Van Reuter appeared in the en trance hall, still wearing the white smock and turban in which he had operated. It had of course been frightfully hot In the operating room and the doctor was drenched with sweat. It made dark patches on the white smock, and it must have been run ning Into his eyes, for he wiped them from time to time with the backs of his hands. For the rest he was smiling and cheerful. He knew that he had done a good Job. Whether McLeod uvea or not was another matter. The ap pendix, he told them, had not burst. For the rest, poor McLeod had had less vitality than had been expected, and was a very sick man. "Will he live?" asked Bowers. "He isn't an old man," said Van Reuter, "and he will have every care. If there are no complications, l ex nect to Dull him through. He has only just come out of the ether, and ought not to make an effort of any kind; but he insists on seeing you. "He could perfectly well afford to hold the ship over for another day and see you tomorrow, but you know these Scotchmen. The mere thoutrht of SDcndlng a penny that doesn't actually have to be spent runs up their temperature when they are sick, and mokes it subnor mal when they are well. "If it were a question of your life or mine, I would say 'No visitors,' but it's a question of McLeod's life. McLeod Is a Scotchman, and you know how they hang on to what ever belongs to them." Bv the way. Doctor." said Bow ers, -"I have engaged an animal trainer. Miss Green, may I present Dr. Van Reuter?" "You are the trainer?" asked Van Router. The young woman nodded. "That Isn't so good." said the Dutchman. "I'll have to be frank. While McLeod was coming out of the ether, he talked about women in general, and women In particu lar. I regret to say that he goes so far as to consider them a race apart a race accursed." Miss Green turned to Bowers. "That's your cue," sho said, "tell hiin what you'd tell any other sick animal. Tell him that everything's all right. Tell him that you guar antee it. But whatever you do, don't make a slip and tell him that the trainer you have engaged is a wo man." Van Reuter, who had managed to clear the sweat out of his eyes, watched her attentively while she wts speaking, and when she had finished, the male in him suddenly transcendent, he exclaimed: "And above all. don't tell him that she Is a young, charming, and beautiful woman I" "Hey," said Bowers, "what's the Idea? You and she aren't going to bo shipmates. Leave some of those beguiling things for me to say, for Heavens sake." Ivy Green shrugged her shoul ders. It began to look as if Harvey Bowers, In spite of the snubblngs which he had received, was Incor rigible. You smacked him down. and up he bounced lor more. "If by any chance, I am wanted," 10.

Bowen followed Van Reuter to the door of the private room to which McLeod had been taken from the operating-table. On the way he determined that If It were neces sary In keeping the sex of the en gaged trainer secret irom Mcljeod, he would lie to the last ditch. McLeod, a very sick man, to judge by the granite-gray of bis face,' lay flat on his back without even a thin pillow under his head: but his mind was clear, and he had just finished dictating a short note, introducing Harvey Bowers to his agents In Singapore, and touching on money matters. The nurse in attendance had taken this down on a prescription pad, and as there was no envelope available, she simply folded the sheet on which she had written, and which McLeod had already signed, wrote the agent's address, turned down one corner, and at a faint gesture from McLeod, handed the completed letter to Bowers. Well," said McLeod, "what 1UCK7 Have you got a man?" "A peach," said Bowers promptly. "A what?" 6ald McLeod, with fee ble amazement. "A peach," Bowers repeated. "It is an American word. It means effi cient, competent." "How old will ho be?" "Old enough to be steady." "A thing of vast Importance,1 said M o L e 0 d. "Has he the strength?" "Strong as a lion, said Bowers without hesitation, "and now that's all you need to know. The doctor said I wasn't to stay nut two nun utes. I have the Instructions that you gave me, and I wrote down. I have got a first-class trainer, and unless the shlD is wrecked. I give you my word that everything will be an rignt." A look of great cannlness came Into the Scotchman's heavy eyes, and again a smile flickered about the gray lips. 'Even If the ship Is wrecked, lad die," he said, "everything will be all right. The Scot may na' have invented gunpowder, or printing, or perfumery, or silk stockings; but ne did invent insurance." This time Bowers' laugh, though subdued, was natural. You have nothing to worry about," he said. "I know you feel rotten now, but the doctor says you are In splendid shape. The first thing you know, you will be up and about. "That mav be. laddie." said Mc Leod. ''I can only tell you this: If Angus McLeod Is to part irom nis life In a Jumping-off place like this, twill only be after a terrible com bat betwixt a Scot and his Maker." "Now you're talkingl" exclaimed Bowers, and he patted the sick man's hand. "Good luck to your He had turned and was moving toward ihe door when McLeod called him back. If the animals begin to Itch and scratch," he said, "flowers of sul Dhur will be indicated." "Blin, said Bowers, "ana gooa luck to you!" "It's a well-known fact, said McLeod, "that I am a sparln' and a savin1 man: but herewith I make vou a free gift of my blessing." Overcome by weariness, Mc Leod's eyelids flickered and closed: and Bowers, with a smile and a nod for the nurse, tiptoe out of the room. Ivy Green took up her duties on the Boldero before her luggage was aboard, or she had been assigned to a stateroom.
