and Ivy beaine releaeing the oargo
of animate ehe and Bowere were
to Singapore,
IVY was (or giving the tigers tbalr
chance ol life with tba Cher anl-
mala, but Bowera waa strongly op
posed.
"I've got the raft overboard." he
aald, "but tba only land wa can get
to la tbe volcano thing over there.
The breeze la blowing in tbat di
rection, and we'll have to go wilb It.
There la no big land anywhere
around except Borneo. That vol
cano la probably part ot a mangy
little lalana. and It la damned tool
Isbuess to add tlgera to all tbe nat
ural normal difficulties of being caat
away."
"They're In my care," aald Ivy,
"and If tbey go down with the ablp.
I go with tbem."
Oue look at her face told him tbat
nothing that he could aay would
shake her In thla reiolve. He
ehrugged hie abouldera and gave In.
"At least wait." he aald, "until I
get a gun. In caae tbey turn on you."
"They're not In tbe mood to turn
on me ir anything else," aald Ivy
with aubllme confidence. And with
firm strong bands ahe unbolted the
door of their cages.
The male tiger himself opened his
with a leaping rush that almost
slammed It off Its binges. His ears
were Old flat back to hie head, and
In bis hurry to get to the distant
ahore hla -.law ripped groove In
the deck.
But ao eager waa tha female tbat
ahe overtook him, passed ilm and
waa the Drat to plunge Into tbe wa

aald Ivy In a superior ay. J
"Any time you're ready." aald
Bowera, "we'll begin to think about
ouraolvea. The scone over the
tlgera. sLort aa It was, .tad nettled
him, for hr knew tbat he bad been
worsted when In the right.
"Can still go oelow?" sne
aaked.
"Probably If we hurry. Get yo:r
clothea lorether and I'll gst my iuns.
They are Important."
With tbe flremo"' ax Bowere bad
aoon cbopped and amashed a way
Into hla cabin. To get hla guna and
tbt ammunition, packed In neat
leather carrying cases, aboard tbe
raft necesaltated three trips. He
could not have naked a fourth. The
cabin-deck waa awash.
, Ivy working at random, ha.
atoned two suitcases and a small
valise with oolonglngi that would
eome II handj and belongiuxa that
would not. She was a little rattled.
The i-'ilp might atay up for hours.
It might go down at any tri.ment
Bowert had aald something abou.

unders. lee of derki and keif ng ves
aela afloat longer than anyone
thought possible. Put you oouldu t
counl on thiu Ivy did not, howevir,
forget ber anlma'-tralner's whip or
Helen'a belt and chain.
BOWERS waa long on guna and
ammunition, but he had alao
aalvaged aome shirts and some
bona ot rough brown linen. When
these things, together with Ivy'a
belongings, had been loaded on tha
reft and laahed In place, they
acoured tne ahlp for whatever might
be uaeful to the ship-wrecked.
They broke Into a storeroom and
made a haaty collection of tinned
tblnga Tea, coffee, auger, a bag of
aalu and half a gross ot safety
matches In the original blue paper
package.
It occurred to Bowera that tbey
would need bedding, and he aal
vaged the water-logged blanketa thai
they had had In the bowa Tbey
made fine carriers for the tinned
good a
Leaving Ivy to make up the two
parcels, be hurried to tbe bridge. A
compass would be a handy thing to
have. He remembered that there
waa a email portable one In the
cbartroom. The chart which ehowed
their whereabouts would be an In
teresting thing to have, and he
might And other tblnga which
would be uaeful to tbem.
Having secured the compaaa and
the chart, he pulled open drawer
I and lockera. In one of the lockers,
folded and piled, were signal-flags
' and the flags of many nations. Half
i way down one ot these piles, a bold
pattern of alternating red and white
stripes caught his eye. He Jerked It
loose and found tbat It waa the Star
spangled Banner. Tbat would be
nice to bava.
In one deep drawer waa a heavy
coll of quarter-Inch manlla rope and
two spindles deeply wrapped with
heavy flab-llne. To the end ol each
line a coarse book upoa which bait
bad dried waa attached. The chart
room offered no further treaaurea,
and tor luck he puabed open the
door of the wireless room and looked
In.
Almost Instantly be waa on hla
knees beside Flint. Tbe wireless
man had rolled over on hla back,
bta kneea drawn up and hla banda
clasped across the wound In bis
atomach. ,
"My poor friend!" exclaimed
Bowera "What have they done to
your
Flint's eyes were glassy and hla
worda were gaaped rather than ar
ticulated, ao that Bowera waa never
aura that be bad underatood exactly
what the dying man aald. "Lady
amlth coming." he aeemed to aay,
and after an Interval and more dis
tinctly: "Wong Bo."
To Bowera It aeemed tbat be waa
trying to tell him tbat for tbe wound
In hla atomach Wong Bo waa re
sponsible. A tormented twitch of
the mouth may have been meant tor
a smile, and It eeemed as If Flint
was trying to aay tbat be bad
"apllled tbe beans."
"We've a life-raft overboard."
aald Bowera. "and you're coming
with tie. I'll rig a ellng and lower
you over the side. You're going to
be all right"
BUT Flint moved hie bead alowly
from aide to aide. He waa done
for and be knew IL He withdrew hla
right band from tbe wounded area
and with bloodied Angers fumbled
at the watcb pocket In the waist
band of hla trousers.
Presently he drew out a plain old-
faahloned buntlng-caae gold watcb.
It waa evident that he wished Bow
ers to take It- Hla llpa aeemed to
form tbe worda: "For Miss Green."
Much moved. Bowera hurried out
on tbe bridge and ahouted to Ivy
where ahe waa tying the cornera of
the wet blanketa to aecure what ahe
had ealvaged from the storeroom
and make It more easily portable.
"Ivy," be called, "come here
quick!"
When she knelt by Flint there
waa still a flicker of life In him.
He moved bla bloodied band to
ward ber. and ahe took It In Doth
bera and preased It hard. Then she
loosed ber left hand and stroked bla
balr back from his forehead.
"He was shot," said Bowera
firmly, "tor trying to help ua. Isn't
that right, Flint?"
Flint was not able to afflru, what
Bowera had auggeated In ao many
worda, but tbe strained look went
out of hla eyes. He bad ao wanted
her to know, and now ahe knew!
Flint's bead rolled to one aide,
and hla kneea alralghtened. Bowera
could not And any pulse Held cloae
to Flint's mouth, the bright gold
watch which he had allied to Ivy
did not mlat over. Flint's short,
colorful and sinful career bad come
tc a glorious end.
They straightened his llmba,
folded hla handa upon bla breaat
and left blra to go down with tbe
ship.
When Helen waa released from
ber cage, she escaped from ber mis
tress and the Impending bell and
chain, ran off screeching like a
thing bereft, and disappeared
througb the amashed loor into tbe
corridor outside the smoking-room.
No one would have guessed that
Helen! i-ctlooi were the result ol
her tenderest feelings having been
lacerated.. Something dreadful wai
folng to happen to the ship. Sh
knew that The man and the woman
bad brought up their belongings
from below, but they hadn't brought
here.
Ivy and Bowera had followed, hall
laughing and halt In tears. Tbe sud
den tragic death ot Flint bad letl
both In an emotional atat when
the amalleat Incident might product
tbe moat astonishing reaction.
Helen waa out of sight, bul bei
glbberlnga reached her anxious mis
tress.

BEN WEBSTER'S CAREER Another Charge

CLAIM THEY NOW
I
CLEVELAND (UP) Behind crow,
lng of rooeters and cJilrplnga ot baby
chk-lu at Internationa Baby Chick
association sessions here, events of
Internstlonal import were materlatts
Jng. Involved were three Japanese scien
tists, two federal Immigration officers
officials of the Internationa) Baby
Chirk aMoclatlon ltelf, several hun
dred delegates and the baby chicks
themselves!
The story, aa told by high officials
of the association, goes bark 4000
years to China.
It wss then that Chlneee peasants
learned to determine the sex of
chickens at birth. It mu valuable
knowledge In the buslneaa- for If the
grower waa In tbe bualnesa for eggs,
he wanted hens If he wanted fryer
and broilers, roosters were deelrable.
because they grow faster.
About 3PO yesrs sgo. according to
the story, Japan learned the secret
from her Chinese neighbors. Eight
or nine years ago, the secret came to
America. Also came several Japanese
"scientists." who began to hire them
selves out to American hatcheries In
advisory capacities. Three of those
scientists came to the chick conven
tion In Cleveland.
American hatchery operatora object
to their presence In this country. "We
know the secret. We can find out
what we need to know now." they
aay. "We don't need them any lon
ger." That's why the government sent
Immigration officlsls to the conven
tion, the official said to find out
how much Cleveland hatcheries know
about sex determining and how
necessary to Ametlcsn operations Is
the knowledge possessed by the Japa
nese. Unfavorable natural conditions
were estimated to have caused a re
duction of 33.000 tons In Californi a
