DON'T BE BOSSED

Amen. Himself is the fine one to
remember, and us be the better for

"I always will ” she whispered.
"Aye." Corkran looked at her
wisely; but then he said in a new
tone: "Himself knew more than
most, ma'am. A wise one. that. He
knew always more than you might
think."
"Well, for one thing, I'm mean­
ing it was a fair fine word he said,
to bid me go back and find Cap'n
Corr that night; and a brave strong
one he was to say it. If he had not
bid me go. I'd not have gone; and
well he knew it, for well he knew
I was his man. And if I’d not gone.
Mat Forbes would not. So it was
himself sent us back to fetch the
Cap'n. and him knowing what he
knew about the true thing between
the two ct you.
Aye, it was a
grand fine thing for him to do."
She said quietly: "In my arms, at
the last, he kept telling me that ev-
trything was all right."
"Aye. he would. A man, that"
There was a movement aft and he
looked that way. Richard had come
on deck. Her eyes followed Cork-
tan's, and rested on Richard, and
Corkran added quietly beside her:
"That was what himself meant,
when he told you everything was
right I tell you. he knew."
"Did he, surely?" she asked.
"Aye. He knew. When he told
me we must go back, he paid the
Cap'n a great compliment, ma’am;
and yourself too. But you’ve de­
served it both of you.”
She looked at him for a long mo­
ment. "How have we deserved it?”
she asked slowly.
He smiled at her. "Has the Cap’n
said yet one word to you of the
thing you're both thinking every
minute that you live?”
"No, Corkran."
He touched her arm. "That’s how
you've deserved the way himself rat­
ed you. But—let you not wait too
long, nor the Cap'n either. Himself
would not want you to wait longer
than a fair decent time; and that
you've done." And when she did not
speak, be said quietly: "Be not un­
easy, ma'am. If the Cap'n has not
yet said his mind—and his heart—
he will."
She met his eyes honestly, smiling
a little. “Yes,” she said. "I know
he will. When we're home.” Her
eyes were warm and deep. "I know
what he will say, Corkran.”
"Aye,” he assented. “And what
you'll say. I'll be bound.” He chuck­
led. "Not that words will be mat­
! tering to either one of you.”
Richard came toward them, his
eyes quickening on Mary as he drew
near; but before he reached them.
Big Pip called from the crosstrees:
"Land ho, Cap'n!” Richard looked
up. and Big Pip swung his arm to
point. "Dead ahead!" he cried.
A great shout rose, and men went
swarming into the rigging to see for
themselves the dim blue line on the
horizon. Corkran moved forward;
but Richard stayed with Mary, and
he looked down at her, not speaking.
The parrot on Corkran's shoulder
watched them standing together,
their eyes embracing, forgetting all
the world. Head on one side, the
bird drawled:
"Mighty pretty."
Corkran lifted the parrot down,
held it in front of him so that it
would not see them. "And why not,"
he said in mild chiding; "and what
right has a bird like you to peek
and peer at them? Himself would
have it as it is. Whose business is
it anyway, but his, and theirs?
Hush you, and let be."

"That one left New Bedford no
longer ago than yesterday, ma’am.
Or it might just be the day before.
We’re near home."
Mary nodded, dreaming "We’ve
been a long time shipmates. Mr.
Corkran."
"Aye. ma’am, since the day you
came aboard at Honolulu. And I
was shipmates with himself before
that" His eyes were warm. "There
was a fine one! Oh. he was a sore
trouble to himself, but fair and fine
for all that. I loved that little man."
"He’d be proud of you now. You’ve
changed. Mr. Corkran." She smiled.
"You were a pagan, once, you
know.”
“Well, the sea has a way with a
man," he reminded her. "It’ll make
him or mar him. one way and an­
other. Give it long enough and it
will show you w’hat's inside him. ev­
ery time. Look at Peter Corr, for
one. ma'am, and himself for an­
other. Not but what I knew from
the first that himself was a man un­
der all.”
After a little, she asked: "Cork­
ran, what do you think Peter meant
to do?"
"Meanness, ma'am. Any kind that
offered. He was one would do any­
thing for loot, if he could find the
spine for it, or get other men to
take the risk for him. No knowing
now what all was in his black mind.
It's sure he tried to talk Rever­
ence himself into killing the Cap'n.
With the Cap'n dead, all else would
be in Peter's hands. He would have
figured so.”
“Do you think he meant Cap’n
Corr to fall into the pit that day?”
“Like as not! He'd been up there
his own self the day before, aftes
pig; and he must have seen many
traps of the like sort in the tussocks.
While we were hunting the Cap’n,
we found a dozen pits like that one,
or less, or maybe bigger; and there
was a pig that had fresh fallen in.
squealing and grunting in one of
them. Aye, the mate might have
meant it; but more like he just hoped
it If he'd seen the Cap’n standing
on the very lip of the pit I doubt
he'd have had the heart to push him
in. It was a trouble to that one
that he had not the insides in him
to do all the black things he could
think of that he’d like to do. He’s
dead, rest him; but he was a bad
one while he lived.” He said in so­
ber judgment: "Let that one be for­

Dear Mn—
Everything is about the same here
in camp, especially the weuther

ter bad and worser and anybody
who gets drafted this spring instead
of in midwinter like I did is getting

I can be transferred to a tank
corpse if I want to but I don’t know
whether I would
like it much. The
work looks too
confining and
while I would like
to get into a serv-
iss that would be
easier on my feet
a tank aint my
idea of no pleasure kar. A friend of
mine was In the tanks and he says
it is Jike going to war in a safe.
A tank is like a taxi with no springs
and with all the upholstering don«
by a scrap iron man. I guess I
would be safer from stray bullets in
a tank but I do not think I will sign
up unless I thumb a ride and see for
myself how it is. Before a soldier
joins a tank corpse the least the gov­
ernment should do is give him a

All you have to give him is a mon­

eral idea what the war needs and
he will turn it out so fast that Uncle
Sam will not only have enough

Queer Oaths
Three Indian women who were
witnesses in a case at Port Arthur
danced past the judge instead of
taking the oath. This, according
to their religion, bound them to
speak the truth. If they then lied,
they would incur the wrath of
their ancestors. In British courts
Moslems swear on the Korun, and
Sikhs on the Bhugvad Gita, their
equivalent of the Bible.
When a Chinese takes the oath
he raises a suuccr above his head
and smashes it to the floor, say­
ing as the fragments fly: "If I
tell a lie, may my soul be shat­
tered, like that saucer, into a thou­
sand fragments."
