Harvey Boteert, it chtiper oninff a caroo of wild animate to Singapore. Hi aetietant it Ivy Oreen. animal trainer from a dfl funct dreut. Both Bo were and Flint, radio operator of tht 8. 8. Boldero. are In lovt with tvv. Ivy coolly parrlet Botoert' effort to lend thrlr convertatlon Into pertonat matter. Ihapter 15 JARK PLOT POWERS Is Incorrigible He ayi: - "Suppose jou liked me mil lion times more than you do?" "Suppose 1 did!" "I wonder what would happen." "Nothing, I assure you. You'd better count sheep." Then Bowers In a complaining Tolce: "I'm not doing anjr harm. I'm Just lying here thinking. I wish 1 could ee you for a second." . "Why?" . "i always thought you were pretty; but today when you were talking to the big tiger you were so kind and understanding, 1 got to thinking that maybe you were beaa tlful. So It I got to see you for a sec ond I could be sure, couldn't 1?' Ivy Is not In the least Interested In the conversation. She wants to go to sleep, and she remarks with petulance: "This makes five nights In a row that you haven't stopped chattering." Flint, If be had been eavesdrop ping, would have been comforted. It was obvious that Bowers' suit. If it were a suit, was not making any progress. Curiously enough, Flint, about to be a partner In an act of barratry, did not consider himself an Ineligi ble suitor. An Insurance company was a cold Impersonal machine. Stealing from an Insurance com pany wasn't like stealing from a person. The Insurance company Itself was probably a great thief. Men had shipped goods on the Boldero and these goods would perish, but what of It? The goods were Insured. The shippers would not suffer. The barratry once committed and Insurance collected, Flint would be a man of Independent means. He might not be as rich as Bowers, but be would have plenty. He would be distinctly eligible. lie would bo a great eaten tor a girl Ilka Ivy, The barratry was to be accom plished without any loss of life. He had gone Into that many times with Wong Bo. Thore mustn't be ai,y mistake about It, no sllp-up any whore. no accidents. It was one thing to play a huge practical Joke on an Insurance com pany. It was quite another thing to have blood on your hands. When the time camo, the Boldero would be cracked open In mild weather on a sunken reef. To gunrd against the possibility of her remaining allonl until help came and being salvaged, her sea-cocks would also have been opened. Whllo he himself broadcast the news of a ship In dlstross at such and such a crossing of latitude and longitude, tbe ship's boats would be got overboard and provisioned. There would.be room for evorybody. pLINT had arranged with Wong 1 Do that Ivy and Bowers should not bs In the same boat, but ivy and Flint would be In the same boat and If that boat did not come ashore upon a part of the Borneo coast far removed from the point at which the boat containing Rowers came ashore, It would not be Flint's fault. If the present days were hard for him to bear, and especially the pres ent nights, he looked forward to days and nights of heavenly propinquity and high romance. One afternoon Bowers brought all his guns and rifles on deck In their solid leather cases for a general cleaning and overhauling. The glit ter of handsome weapons drew tint Flint's attention and later Wong Bo's. Ivy, who was making herself a dress, something decent to go ashore In, was also Interested. But her Interest was resentful. Thoss were the things that men killed with tor f '.assure. If Bowers had been a Turk and his weapons a harem of beautiful women he could not have loved them more dearly or with more solicitude. The great en. my of modern weapons Is the power which makes them weapons. More particularly Is this the case with rllles. After tiring your rltle. you msy clean It unill the Inside of th barrel an dthe rilling shines Ilka a mirror, but aday or two later when you look through tbe barrel there are symptoms of corrosion. Aged Farmer Gored To Death By Bull MOUNT V1CRNON, Wash , Sept, 10 T) Joseph Cherain, 7J, farmer, was Cored and trampled to death today by bull wnlch escaped from a pen. Cherain waa attempting to drive the animal back into the enclosure, on his farm at Clear Ijike. His wife ran to u I i i h mm t rr i mi i . u CjcuvsAHMux Movul. "Why do you like to kill things?" said Ivy. "Would you like me better If I didn't?" he asked. "Lots better," ald she. "In that case," said Bowers, "I don't like to kill them as much as I did." Ivy chuckled. A radiogram from Slnbao was Flint's excuse for loin Ing them. Tbe guns themselves were an excuse for any man's remaining awhile. The radiogram was from Mcleod In answer to one Bowers bad sent: 'DELIGHTED ANIMALS WELL CARRY ON." There had already been a message from Van Reuter to say that Mo Leod was out of danger. There Is something lacking In the man who takes no Interest In weap ons, especially when they are works of art. Flint's eyes shone with a boyish enthusiasm. He seated him self cross-legged on the deck, and the two men talked guns and Ivy was forgotten. Bowers had Ave rIBes and three shotguns. He explained that the doublo-barreled elopbant-rlBe had boon purchased to help a friend out of a financial hole. It had cost a fear ful sum even secondhand, but Bow ers had never tired It He hod never killed an elephant and be was never going to, and fur thermore If It should happen that bis life depended on killing so ele phant, that particular rifle was ob solete. It waa too much like a cannon. An ordinary army rifle was plenty heavy enough. IT DIDN'T matter so much how 1 hard you hit an elephant, as where you hit him. Bowers did most of bis killing with a doublo-eipres.i of about .30 caliber. He put It together and offered It to Flint, who bandied It almost with adoration, feeling the balance, putting It to his shoul der and squinting along the sights. That's plenty big enough tor tigers and elephants and small enough for antelope and deer. Nice balance, hasn't It?" It was at this moment that Wong Bo, drawn by tho gleam of metal,' Joined the group. Ho fanned himself and remarked that the rifle was Heap nice." "What does a gun Ilka this chap cost?" Flint asked. 1 think." said Bowors, "that It cost Just one hundred and twenty guineas." How much you sny?" asked Wong Bo. "About Blx-hunilrcd dollars gold," snld llowers. Wong Do's eyes swept the heap of gun-cases. "Other guns all same?" he asked. "Woll," said Bowors, "they don't give gutis away, or If they do, 1 never honrd of It." It Is posalhlo that If Bowors had not cxpoBOd his weapons and made their value known, the course of events would hnve been different, but olght guns worth perhaps an avontgo of It vo hundred dollars apiece represented a handsome sum of monoy. , It Is possible that up to that mo ment, so lar as Wong Bo's plans wore concerned. Bowers' life was reasonably snfo. But the value of the guns hnd altered tho Chinaman's p'nns and ho returned presently to ask a quest Ion and to go on his way again. "How ofton you make clean?" he asked. "Oh," Bowors said, "I'll look them ovor again In ton days or two weeks, maybe not until we got to Singapore. They are In pertoct shape." To Wong Ho this was sn exceed Ingly satlslylng statement, and ttat same night, with the help of the cabin boy and a pass-key. be stole the guns from their cases, wrapped the parts In greasy cloths and stowed thorn In his own qunrters. Bowers bad snld that hs would not oiamtne his weapons for sn- othor ten days, but It was possible that for some reason or other bs might have occasion to move the cases, snd the lightness of the cases would reveal the tact that he had been robhed. Wong Bo did not want the trouble that shows Its face In the open. lie and the cabin boy carried the cases to the Boldero't disorderly ma chine shop snd weighted them with odds and ends of metal from broken tools, an old tile or two. some short lengths of Iron pipe, and a fast num ber of spools of copper wire.

NURNBEBO, Germany, Sept. lO.-OT) The Idea of woman's rights In poll tics was condemned today by Chan cellor Hitler as "a product of decad ent Jewish Intellectualists." The German leader derided the mu- ng of women In political matters In a speech to 3.000 women politicians They were nazi organizers here for the party convention snd they ap plauded his statements energetically. Hitler told them: "Liberalism ha a large number of points for women's equality. The nazi program for women has but one; that Is a child. "While man makes his supreme sac rifice on the field of battle, woman fights her supreme battle for her na tion when she gives life to a child. The conception of so-called woman's equality is a product of decadent Jewish lntellectualism." f Teacher's Ouster Upheld PORTLAND, Ore.. Sept. 10. ypj Dismissal of Martha X.
