"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.

JACK DAW'S
Story Hal Cochran Drawings by L. W. Redner
; " AT LOG HIVER CHAPTER 1 , . 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.) .
