"Would you mind calling the young people In?’’ she asked. ” 1 want to tell them.” The three tramped merrily Into the chart house. "Hello, mumsy," called Bess. “ What’s up? You're plotting something. I can see It In your eye. Own up." Mrs. Archman smiled. “ Right,” she said. “ I ’ve something to tell you. I’ve decided to take you all with me on the ship to meet your father.” "Wha-a-at? You're Joking, mumsy!” It was Bess who cried out. Mrs. Archman kept her eyes on her daughter. “ N o; it’s true,” she said. “ Your father needs us and we must go." Bess showed none of the dejection for which the older woman was look­ ing. Instead, her eyes twinkled. “ Good!” she exclaimed. “ No more school for yours tru ly!” -School!” Mrs. Archman hesitated. Evidently she had forgotten school. “ I must take along a governess,” she decided. “ A governess!” Bess shrieked. “ Yes! So, captain, there’ll be five o f us— myself, my son, my daughter, a governess, and at least one maid. O h! And of course there'll be Mr. Akin. Ton’ll make preparations?" “ Yes, madam.” Mrs. Archman got up. “ It will he quite a rush to get ready," she said. “ We'd better be about It." She turned to the Englishman. "Lord George,” she sal\ “ I'm very sorry to rescind my Invitation to you. But you can see how It Is. Unless you would like to go with us o » the ship— ” “ On the ship? Really? How posi­ tively ripping! I'll be delighted to g o !” Mrs. Archman colored and caught her breath. She had not had the slightest Idea that Lord George would accept. However, she swiftly decided that It was all for the hast. She could see the paragraphs In the society news: “ Lord George Caruthers Is yachting with Mrs. Henry Archman and party— ” She turned quickly to him. "W ill you come, really?" she ex­ claimed. “ I'm very glad." “ Well, rather! It’ll be awfully Jolly and all that, you know. Er— where are we going?" " I don't know. Captain Bunker has aealed orders." "Sealed orders! Oh, by Jove I I say I That’s ripping, you know—posi­ tively ripping!” In various stages of pleasure and dejection, the visitors left the ship. Bess looked about for Mr. Carr, but she did not see him. As a matter of fact, he was on hjs way to Captain Bunker's cabin, where he had been summoned tt> receive orders tn regard to new fittings for the extra cabins that wonld be brought Into use by tha osw passengers. CHAPTER VII Ship’« Company The Brat snow o f winter was falling thickly as the El Rio chugged down­ stream between the towering man­ made cliffs edged with crowded ships Bealdes Mra.

Chapmen been engaged after three days’ frantic search for someone qualified for the purpose who wae willing to leave town on a sea voyage of Indefinite length. She brought a letter of Introduction and recommendation from Miss Van Kull, the daughter of Nicholas Van Kull, on whom Mr. Archman had called with apparently disastrous con­ sequences on the night of the murder. Mrs. Archman had Jumped at the chance to repair the breach, and had Immediately engaged Miss Denslow tentatively. A little later she had called up Miss Van Kull on the tele­ phone, and, though she bad not suc­ ceeded In getting speech with her, had received assurances that Miss Dens­ low was everything she should be— a lady, highly educated, companionable, and versatile In her accomplishments— and a warm friend of Miss Van Kull's. This was enough for Mrs. Archman, who had Instantly confirmed Miss Denslow’s engagement. Bess, though more or less put out by her failure to escape tutelage, had become speedily reconciled at sight of Miss Denslow, who was a sweet-faced woman of perhaps forty years of age, with white hair, good, though lined complexion, regular features and beau­ tiful white teeth. The El Rio was a good sea boat. She did not pitch uinch, snd she rolled only In a leisurely fashion that was a guar­ antee that most of her passengers would soon recover from any sickness that might at first annoy them. In fact, only Mrs. Archman, who had sought her stateroom as soon as the vessel crossed the bar, seemed at all affected. Miss Denslow was still busy la her stateroom, and Akin was tlck- tacklng on his typewriter, but the other three were collected on deck. They were all In good spirits, even Harry, who seemed to have recovered from his depression of a few days be­ fore. "W ell, we’re off all right,” he observed. “ But I wish somebody'd tell me where we're going and what we’re going for. W e’ve moved so fast In the last week that I don’t know where I ’m at, at all.’’ “The question Is, where Is father at?” Bess remarked. “ Father? Oh, father and Nellie are roosting on that mysterious Island! That’s what mother says, anyway. For my part I can’t see It.” Lord George chimed In. “ It's Jolly queer about that map. Isn't It, what?” he observed. “ As I understand the thing, Mr. Archman doesn’t get the map and so he starts for the place shown on It. Then your mother gets It, and we all start for we don’t know where. I say, It’s quite a lark, Isn’t It?” “ I hope It will turn out to be a lark, Lord George,” remarked Bess. I'm be­ ginning to be a little frightened, I think. I can't understand why the thief should send the map back to us— If the map really Is the one that was stolen. Oh, Miss Denslow! I ’m glad you've come on deck, after all. Have you met Lord George Caruthers? Miss Denslow, Lord George!” Lord George bowed. But as he raised his head, his eyes met those of the governess, and a curious ex­ pression of puzzlement came upon his face. Miss Denslow, too, seemed startled. "It Is a pleasure to meet Lord George.” she said hastily. “ Ah ! Yes! Quite so! It's a great pleasure, I assure you,” stammered Lord George. “ That Is, I mean—er— haven’t I met you before. Miss— er— Denslow? Did I entch the name? I’m a beastly duffer at catching names, you know.” Miss Denslow bowed. "Y es; It’s Miss Denslow,” she answered. ' I fear It Is unlikely that we could have met before. You know I am Miss Arch­ man's governess.” “ Governess?” Harry laughed. "Bess Isn't out of school yet. Lord George,” he said, “ for all she's put up her hair.” “ Fancy, now! O h! I say. I never would have thought It. I wouldn't really. At home, don't you know, a schoolgirl wonld be still In the nursery. But over here, upon my word, you can't tell them from young ladles." Bess' teeth clicked viciously. Lord George seemed to be getting on her nerves. But for some reason she made no effort to counter. Instead she carried the conversation back to the earlier topic. “ We were talking about our trip and how It will turn out. I suppose you know more or less about It?” "More or less, yes!" responded Miss Denslow. “ Rather less than more, I ’m afraid.” "Well. It’s this way." Bess recount­ ed the events o f the last few days. "W e were Just trying to flgnre out why the thief sent the map back," she ended. Miss Denslow seemed to ponder. "Perhaps he was not a really bad thief," she suggested, rather breath­ lessly. “ Perhaps he was after money and when he got only a map and saw that It wasn't any use to him, he Just sent It back.” Bess nodded. “That must be the ex planatlon,” she agreed. “ But still—” From forward came four sharp strokes of the ship's bells. At the sound Harry Jumped to his feet. “Ten o'clock!” he exclaimed. “Time for Captain Bunker to open those orders of hla. I l l go see If he's done It.” Five minutes later he was back. “ Captain Bunker sayt It will be fair and warm by morning." be remarked. "W e ought to make more than a hun­ dred miles of southing during the night and that'll make a lot of differ­ ence In the temperature.” "Harry 1" Bess cried out sharply “ What are you talking about? Hasn't Captain Bunker opened hla Instruc­ tions yet?” Harry laughed. “ Y es; he’s opened them," he said. “ But It was a case o f April fool." Lord George and Miss Denslow both turned their heads suddenly. “ April fool I" exclaimed the Englishman. “ Oh. come now. old chap. It’s October and not . April. You're spoofing, aren't you?" “ Not a single spoof,” rejoined Harry light-heartedly. “ Not one! Father never did give anything away till he had to. When Bunker opened the en­ velope he found another envelope with 'Open this when you get to latitude 19 and longitude 64.’ Only that and noth­ ing more.” “ O h!” Lord George settled back tn his chair. “ My word I It must be something Jolly well worth while that we're going after,” he said. Bess, however, was disappointed and showed It. "W ell, where Is latitude— whatever It Is?" she demanded. "It's off the coast of Haiti," returned Harry. “ H a iti! Good gracious 1“ “ That’s what I say. What do you suppose It's all about?" Lord George shook hlg head. "Couldn't It be treasure?” he suggest­ ed hopefully. “ Treasure!” Bess screamed. “ Oh, I never hoped for anything so splendid!” she breathed. "Did you, Miss Dens­ low?” Miss Denslow smiled and shook her head. "N ot treasure!” she exclaimed. “ Oh, I beg of you, not treasure! Treas­ ure Is so banal. And the sailors al­ ways mutiny and kill everybody except the hero and the heroine. Oh, please don’t let us go after treasure!” "A ll right, we won't.” Harry spoke promptly. "W e strive to please. We — yes, what Is It? Oh, coffee. Yes; pass It to the ladles.” A bare-headed steward had com« soft-footedly along the deck and was proffering a tray set with tiny cups. When he came to Lord George that gentleman shook his head. “ N o; thank you,” he said. “ I used to drink coffee, don't you know, when I first went to sea, but I found out Jolly soon that It wasn’t any good.” Harry laughed. “ They say cham­ pagne Is better for that bilious feel­ ing,” he returned feelingly. "W ill any o f you have some?” Bess shook her head. “ No,” she said; “ we don’t want any, but you take Lord George down and see what you can Und.” She turned to the waiter. “ Steward," she said, “ see If there is any champagne In the cooler and get It out for Mr. Harry." Harry got up, laughing. “ That means we are not wanted here. Lord George,” he said. “ I guess Bess wants to talk to Miss Denslow about her les­ sons. Come along and let’s sample that wine.” The two men wandered off along the swaying deck. When they were gone, Bess leaned forward. "I'd like to shake that man.” she exclaimed viciously. "H e gets on my nerves. I may he a schoolgirl, but I'll shojy him a thing or two before this trip Is over. See If I don't 1” Miss Denslow smiled comfortably. " I don’t doubt It, my dear,” she said. “ But don’t be too hard on him. He seems to be a nice enough man." Harry and Lord George came back along the dim deck. Lord George sat down, but Harry continued to stand. “ I think I'll turn In.” he said. “ That champagne wasn't quite what It Is cracked up to be. I think—yes, I'm sure I had better turn In." Who Is the governess? and what Is there between her and Lord George? (T O B I C O N T IN U E D .) M a d e N a m e at Sculptor Clark Mills was an American sculp­ tor, born In Onondaga county, N. Y „ December 1, 1815. He died January 12, 1883. In 1848, when he was on the eve of leaving for Europe to study the art of sculpture, he received a commission to erect an equestrian statue of General Jackson. According to the story. Mills had never even seen an equestrian statue. He, how ever, set to work, designed hla model and then found It necessary to learn the art of bronze casting, Inasmuch as there was no one t" this v-tuatr, prepared to mold his figure In bronze. The statue of General Jackson by Mills Is In Lafayette square, Washington and a replica is In New Orleans. Egyptian W a ter Clocke Casts of two ancient Egyptian wa­ ter clocks have Just been presented by the Egyptian government to the Sci­ ence museum, South Kensington, Lon­ don, England. One of the clocks comes from Karnak, and dates from the reign of Amenhotep II, 1.400 years before Christ. The other Is from Edfu, In the Ptolemaic epoch. From an ex­ amination of these clocks snd the scale of measurements recorded on each. It appears that the "hour” of that re­ mote period was a variable length, be­ ing one-twelfth of tbe length of the day or night of the particular time of the year. A study of these ancient timepieces Is regarded as Important In the comparison of astronomical eb- ations.

Originally It was a sandy trail through great white pine trees, from Indian fishing .village to Indian hunting grouuda. Then French voyageurs In search of beaver followed It and trans­ lated Its Indian name, Was-Wuh-Uam- lug, "Neur - the - Torch - Llght-Flshlng- Lake,” Into their own tongue. Fol­ lowed Americans who persuaded the descendants of Hiawatha to make Lae du Flambeau the center of a perma­ nent reservation. But year after year, generation after generation, say the old men, the trail remained the sume pine-shadowed, moccasin-printed high­ way. Nineteen fifteen saw It sun-bitten, dusty, desolate, running through a de­ vastated country past a wrecked saw­ mill, beyond rows of uupainted, desert­ ed cabins that mill workers had used while the company stripped the reser­ vation of Its timber. One painted bouse stood apart at the end of the trail where the lake waves up to meet It. One of the two remululug clumps of trees stood near. One of the few spirits which had absorbed from ruth­ less business the good to be leurned and avoided the 111, dwelt In the paint­ ed house. The one pair of eyes that saw the green beauty that would soon clothe the land, and the fish that begged for fishermen In the long chain of lakes, belonged to the dweller In the painted house. There was question from her hus­ band when Mrs. Benedict Gauthier proposed to put all the family savings Into s summer hotel for fishermen aDd their families. There was opposition from the Indlun tribe, only to be over­ come by long and patient councils. There was argument even from some of her most progressive advisers when It became known thut she want­ ed an architect to design the hotel, and proposed a highly pntd man cook, and maids In crisp black aud white onlform. But the architect and tne cook and the maids became realities. The In­ dians found guiding fishermen both lucrative and pleasant as a change from their farming. Of the many guests who drift hack to Lac du Flam- beau summer after summer, not a few have become fast friends of both Mr. aud Mrs. Gauthier, friends such as would never have crossed the doorslll of a couple marooned in the painted house on the lonely trail. The final dramatic touch In the story to muny folk lies In the fact that Mrs. Gauthier, like the village, has an Indian name, given her by a pagan godmother, tn a wigwam, In token, of her own OJlbway blood.

And If each of us who con­ sidered being a schoolina’am could put Into the Job her sure enthusiasm, do you think there would be any question of our success and happiness? “ 1 teach,” she says, “ because I have natural ability In that line of work. I teach In high school because It offers an opportunity to help the world of folks In their fprmatlve years; high schools are a selective, yet democratic group. I teach because In doing so 1 serve; and in service there Is happi­ ness. I teach because 'I like folks; I believe folks— Just folks— are the greatest things In the world. “ I prefer the smaller high school be­ cause It seems to tne the teacher has more personal influence than In a large, machlneHke organization neces­ sary with a large group.
