(Continued I "I'VE lot you, you little witch! Jake whispered hoarsely, lie raised his fare to gloat upon ker. Aud terrified. Mary screamed. It seemed but an Instant before Ike Saintly stood in the doorway, white faced, fiery eyed. Only an in- Htant more and Drake burst in, white as the steward, murderous, .lake still held the girl in his arms, her fright ned fare peered over, his shoulder. his own flushed visage and passionate eyes, half turned, glared at the in truders like an animal from a trap. Frightened as she had been, awuken ed out of slumber to find herself fust in the arms of a muu, her lips crushed violently against lips that tank of liquor, all womankind's quick wits flew to Mary's aid in that mo ment of imminent disaster. As if shown to her in a flash of light, she realized' that' she had played with vary Inflammable material in encour aging Jake Stevens. ' The smell of liquor, too. explained much. That ahe was watched over better thou she knew was proved to her eternal . 1 satisfaction by the astoundlngly swift appearance of the steward and Drake. She was unharmed, and Jake Stevens was, after all, one of the oldest of her friends. "Oh, I 'was dreaming I" she cried. "Did I cry ou" And Jake, stealthily loosing hsr so that he might be unhampered to meet tho attack he knew must come, sud denly saw the glimmer of light she showed him and answered: ' "I heard, you as I came off watch. Dreaming, wasn't you, Miss Mary?" He still glared darkly, reading the unbelieving challenge in Drake's yes. Ike Sajntly tried to conceal a great . French knife in a sleeve only halt long enough, but he made no effort to conceal the look of accusation he leveled at . Stevens. Drok went to the bedside, meeting 1 Jake's gate squarely as he pushed by. "What happened, Mary?" demand ed Drake sharply. lie laid a hand on her forehead, and felt- the starting moisture. lie noted the agitation of her breast The laces of her night dress still fluttered, ."Are you sure ydu were only, dreaming? , "Oh, yes. Such a horrid dream She hid her face in the pillow. "Don't talk about It, please.. I was so glad to wake up and see Mr. Stevens tiear me, Alden. I was so frightened I would have been glad to see anybody 1 ' But I'm all right. Please don't both er about me." "Very. well. But if you are going to have more bad dreams, I'd sug gest that you lock your cabin door. ' Good-night." ".',' ' The steward stood aside as Stevens preceded tho. skipper Into the saloon. Ike felt that therj ought to be, might be yet, opportunity to put the ' edge of that big, knife to. the test. Poor Ike was no warrior, lie was . scared cold at the threat of blood , shed. But he was willing to fight for old Cuptiiin Manning's daughtei If need be: and surely he had believed he was going to fight when he grab bed that big knife and darted out at Marys cry. And for a moment he believed he saw blood In tho jjyes j of tho two strong men facing each other outside Mary's closed door. "That'll do, Mr. Stevens, thank you," the skipper said quietly. "I ' congratulate you upon the amazing promptness you showed in annweriug- Miss Manning s outcry. "Happened to be Handy," growled Jake, and lurehed off to his berth. ' Drake, stood for a moment, sniffing hard, Ike scuttled away feeling dis gusted at the ending of so promising an encounter. , .... As if the ship's barometer regis tered the pressures of human emo tions as well as of atmosphere, there settlrd upon the ship a sense of por tent not entirely due to the gather ing ' of ntorui , clouds following , the falling of the mercury. Mary still employed her leisure huurs on deck working at her sheep skin border; watching one by nue tho sails clewed up, furled, end storm gaskctcd. The prepsrntlnns for the imminent gale were long adoiug, as the storm seemed long coming. Hut Hint was the utost dreaded of all storms at sea. She woudered.at the subtlety of the rising sens. Without any ap parent incrense In wind, tho' long rolling blue, seas suddenly began to . wear broken crests and to climb sol jdly up the steel sides of the clipper, falling aboard . every now and then with a shock and a roar like the dis charge of heavy artillery. And the skies grew sooty and ugly. Trouble had long been brewing with the precious pair of belligerents, Tubus and Sims. They fought each other when nobody else would fight them, though they were fast cronies. Old Joe Bunting had kept them in check a bit; Nick Coombs had helped. They were nfraid of those two sea soned old suits. , Mary sow the sea rise, heard the gale begin to howl; then she took her fancy work below, clothed herself in storm clothes, and returned to the deck to watch the big ship battle against the elements. Towards even ing the skies were altogether sooty, and the low clouds scudded across tho mastheads with terrific speed. Heaping seas rolled up out of the Immensity of the southern ocean, ris ing at the speeding ship's flauks, gurgling ghoullshly as they looked nlioord over the six foot bulwarks and dropped a few tons of water on the mainderk as a reminder of their strength. "We'll take In fore and mlxsen upper-topsails, Mister Stevens," Drake shouted at eight hells, when both watches were awske. "Ileef the up per main topsnll, and reef the fore sail. Better do it now and avoid having to call all hands perhnps dur ing the night. See the jllm well Inched down. Keep the foretopniast staysail on her." "Aye, aye, sir!", replied the mate cfvlly. "If you'll look out here, sir, I'll lend a hand. Plenty to do." i Then came an jmy of raia squalls, marching across ' me roaring sea in thunder and lightning devastation. Dark, shspeless figures hauled and cursed In the teething chaos of the full moindeck. Unseen demons howled and shrieked aloft ohove the worst the gale or squalls could do. A blinding flash of lightning lit every Inch of the ship's laboring structure. High upou the tfpprr main-topsail yard six shapejess yel low ollskinned sailors fought pro fanely with the tormented sail. The rain slushed down nt them. "Haul that reef taykle taut!" screamed a voice. "It'a all adrift!' There was a momentary blackness after the lightning flash; then a sec ond flash so swift ns to almost blind the eyes. But Mury saw a yellow figure hurtle down out of thnt upper most chaos, a scream still on his lips, his poor groping fingers cotchmg at the black void. The ropeyarns that were only meant to hold his oilskin trousers and jacket together to keep the water ' from wetting him more than necessary, were unequal tf holding his weight, lie fell and plunged into the sea.

V HPHE horses, on which Jack and Dotty Daw were mounted, idled their way back to -the sugar -camp. A man, with a big long saw, stood be side the sap pot . and, as Jack jumped to the ground, the little adventurer asked the man what the saw was for. "Oh, we cut down trees with this," came the reply. . "A1EE," laughed Dotty, as she also slipped off her horse, "hoven't yon f ever seenbig trees cut down with axes and Haws?" "No, I don't h'elievo. I have?1 replied Jack. "Well," continued Dotty, "we'll just lake a row over to the Log River saw mill and you can see how it's done.' And Dotty started for the river. AS SO(V ns thu river bank was reached, Jack spied the camp robot aud with the help of Flip, he dragged it out onto the water. Dotty climbed aboard and then Jack looked around for the oars. They 're nowhere to be seen, so the little adventurer asked Dotty about them. "Why. we -don't use oars," she said. (Continued.) . Cynthia Grey Says: . Questions Answers.
