CHAPTER III Imperiled At Sea On the Island ef Haraki, Dens, low, chief er.gmeer for Ranger, Inc., uas doirg his work weii. As soon as he arrived, be made Big Louis, leader of me naiive workmen, his ally and asi,;ta:it 10 do the bidding of Mailinson. Otnsiow found the work weil under viay, but cetermin ed to slacken speed ,n the com pletion of the loier power house. Alaliinscn was pieced to learn of the exploits of L'enslow when that worth; cabled him that tne power house would nor be comp:eted on time. To Kuth Ranger he cabied news of a different import. He in formed her that the engineering project was being completed in leaps and bounds. There was one character in our story, however, untrustworthy to Maiimson Vivian belamar. Vivian loved her employer deeply, and knowing that a delay on the work would force Ruth to marry .Mailin son, she determined to keep the girl posted as to the exploits against her uork Kuth, Eugene Craig and Dinny had succeeaed in extricating them selves from the underground whirl pool and reaching dry ground by sw.mnv'r.g down stream to the grotto that they had discovered just before their accident. The girl wasted no time in getting to the office of Ranger, Incorporated. Here she found an encourag.ng cabie from Densiow tut a most discouraging note signed "An Interested Friend" that friend being Vivian belamar. Tne latter note vas aiso confirm ed by a cabie f;om Lanera, the Governor of Haraki. As the con struction work at Haraki was a gov ernment job, it was to his interests to see that it was completed. The work of btnslow was aiready show ing itself by petty quarrels among the laborers causing the work to be leiayed. Lanera did all in his power ot incite the men, and failing in this he immediately cabled his lack of success to Ruth Ranger. The girl could not understand the failure of benslow in carrying out his trust. She seized a morning paper to see if a ship was sailing immediately for Haraki. She was doomed to disappointment. But a small notice in tne shipping news caught the girl s eye. A note to the eflect that a certain Henry Mailin son had chartered a ship to sail that very day with general cargo. Ruth lost no time in getting into communication with Mailinson. That gentleman was delighted. A new idea came into his h?:.d. Ruth Ranger seemed to be playing into his hands. Mailinson qukkly made arrangements for the girl's passage. Hut when Vivian belamar learned of this she was filled with despair. After her carelessness, the man she loved would be thrown into the company of Ruth Ranger for too long a time. Mailinson immediately sent for Sharkey. "Notify the captain of the Fre mont," he instructed, "to prepare for two passengers. I'll arrange a delay at sea and then the Haraki project will fail and Ruth won't be able to pay me the million." Sharkey grinned his approval and promised to keep in touch with Mailinson by cable and wireless. Ruth Ranger wasted no time in preparing for the voyage. Dinny was to be left behind, much to that young man's disappointment, but as he was to be made master of the house in Ruth's absence, he managed to brighten up a bit. He bade Ruth good-bye and with a saddened countenance determined to live up to the trust the girl placed in him. Mailinson wasted no time in tell ing the officers on board ship just what lie wanted. The skipper was a trustworthy man, but unfortunately lie was confined to his stateroom for s short time due to a serious illness. Mailinson knew he could approach the first mate without fear. "Swing clear of the steamer lines, Mailinson instructed. ''Don't head for Haraki until I tell you. You'll all be ell paid if you carry out mv orders." At that moment, Ruth Ranger ap peared on deck and approached mailinson. "I haven't thanked you for your kindness," she informed him. "By sailing on this ship I will retch Haraki in time to fulfill our OpnUsO." Meanwhile, at Ruth's home, Dinnj was suddenly thrown into a tur-1 moil of excitement He had jus! received an anonymous phone mes- j sage informing him that Ruth was on board the Fremont, but that there was a plot to keep it from sailing to Haraii. It is needless to say that the "informer" was no othei than Miss Delamar. j Dinny didn't know what to do 1 about it. He rushed from the house and stumbled right into the arms of Eugene Craig, ladened with roses and about to. call upon the young lady who he admired probably more than anyone else in the world. "I've got it, Dinny!" Craig ex claimed. "We'll hurry to the harbor in my car. I'll get the fastest motorboat they've got and put you in command to overtake the ship. For myself, I can borrow a hydro plane and do the same thing. Front tne height I can reach, I can find the position of the ship and you can fix your course the same way as I do." With that they were off. On board ship, Ruth was having the time of her life. She approached the first mate and asked: "How soon will we reach Haraki?" The man in command knew his game. "We aim goin' there," he grinned, "we're headed for the China coast." "What!" "That's me orders," he answered, "and nobody aint a-goin' to change em. No! You can't send a wireless to no one either. I'm skipper o' this craft until the captain gits well, and what I say goes!" Ruth was greatly dismayed. She paced the deck hoping to find Mai linson, but he was nowhere in sight. Then, with a last hope, she climbed the ladder to the next deck and sought the operator in the wireless shack. "No, Miss," the young man in formed her, "we can't accept no wireless messages on this boat with out the skipper's endorsement. You see, at sea the word of the com manding officer is law, and until the captain recovers we are helpless." As Ruth Ranger walked hope lessly to the rail, the young man looked extremely sorry for her. Sud denly his wires began to buzz. A message was being sent to his ship. It was for Miss Ranger. He de cided to chance it and tell the girl the contents. "Hey, Miss Ranger," he called. "Keep this under your hat. I just picked up a message for you from a gent named Craig. He says to leave the ship in a lifeboat and wait for the speedboat that's following. Dinny will pick you up." Ruth was suddenly filled with good cheer. She thanked the oper ator and hurried down to the main deck. Here she encountered the commanding officer and Mailinson. Ruth demanded that a boat be lowered, but the commanding officer refused her request The girl looked appealingly at Mailinson. "Without the captain's permission I can do nothing for you," be told her. Ruth scurried back aft Yes, in the distance she could make out a tiny speck a high-powered speed boat beading for the ship. A faint whirring sound came to her ears, and looking up she beheld a plane, also heading in her direction. The girl stood by the rail and anxiously waited. The speed boat was rapidly gaining. Finally she could make out Dinny at the wheel. In another moment it was alongside. Before Mailinson, or any of the crew could prevent, Ruth had sprung over the rail and into the sea. Dinny should have been a naval man. With skillful maneuvering, he managed to run his craft up to the girl, while the engineer aboard assisted her over the gunwale. "Mr. Craig's going to drop a lad der for you," Dinny told her, "and then the two of you are going to beat the ship to Haraki." As he spoke, Craig's plane dipped lower and lower, then a rope ladder was dropped from the cockpit Ruth climbed forward to the prow of the speedboat and waited until the moment would come for her to grasp the ladder and be swept upward.

SWAGGART YOUR PATRONAGE WE SOLICIT i WHAT SHOULD A DAIRY COW PRODUCE? ITATISTICS tell us that the average milk production in the United States is 4021 pounds per cow per year. Yet, under bet ter breeding and feeding many cows yield 10,000 pounds, some 20,000 pounds, and a few 30,000 pounds and more. Then, if extra care in selection and breeding, and a better knowledge of feeding can multiply production twice, thrice and even six times, isn t the matter worthy of the utmost attention? We look on it that way here at the Farmers & Sockgrowers bank, and are always glad and ready to assist farmers in procuring or increasing or bet tering their herds within practical and profitable limits.
