“Tell me about Kenzle," Mrs. Rad­

second engineer had not struck her
as being the same depraved sort as
his superior. Silvers was ready as
usual. It seemed that no crimes of
blood were laid to Kenzle's door. Uls
conflict with the law was of a big­
amous nature. Wives In many ports
clamored for him. For the rest he

the adoration of perfect machinery.
Slivers considered Metzger, Pereira,
Graumann, Krause and Hamner to be
bad men capable of anything. Mike
was easily led.
"And the doctor?” asked Todd.
“He’s playing a deep game," said
the lad. “Metzger's afraid of him."
The lad saw be was upon delicate
ground. New conventions hedged him
around. Here, In the presence of the

the precise reasons for Metzger’s

have rendered Bettlngton no greater
disservice. He had painted him as
the sinister and dominating figure who
brooded over the strange cruise of the
Albatross, betraying now qualities of
honesty and courage, and then moods
of baffling violence and rage. It was
this sense of contrast which most ap­
pealed to the boy Augustus Condon.
“Well," Crosby Todd said, when he
had gone, “I suppose there's no ques­
tion that my suspicions were correct T
His words were aimed solely at Mrs.
Radway.
"I am afraid not," she said, "but
there’s no evidence yet that we shall

In the luxurious quarters aft Bet­

chairs.

“But who will take a spell when you

“I'll get that boy Bob up. If you

The twain protested, but In the end
they gave In.

was, at least, relieved of the neces­

seek for excuses.
In keeping the upper deck free of

his arbitrary ruling about keeping the
deck clear must have engendered mis­
giving among men whose natures were
given to suspicion and fear of the
motives too obvious to them.
They would make a concerted rush

Bob, on his way to the bridge,
paused a horrified second when he
saw Sam’s twisted body. Under Cros­
by Todd's advice he bad determined
to be very brusque and unbending
with the doctor. He was to seek to
give the Impression of one working
for the common good, but not to be
Influenced by threats or a show of
consideration.
Contrary to Todd's declaration that
the doctor would try and ingratiate
himself, there was no welcoming
smile.
“What do you know about the com­
pass?" be was asked. It was humiliat­
ing to admit that he knew nothing
For almost an hour Bettlngton talked
to him. “You will take a few hours
at the wheel during the day. At night
you can sleep. Wake me up directly
you see a face anywhere nenr. I’ve
forbidden this deck to every one ex­
cept Silvers and I'm far from trustiug
him yet."
“What would anyone want?" Bob
asked. He was still staunch In his
belief that Croshy Todd’s suspicions
were correct ones.
“To kill me and you first. After
that, break In down below. Look here,
Bob. I’m not In any mood for con­
versation, but let me tell you this.
I’m to be obeyed absolutely. If Todd
comes looking up the companion and
I see him, I shall shoot If he comes
when I'm sleeping send him back; for
I shall most certainly discipline him.”
When he saw Bob quail at this he
smiled. “What would you expect from
a desperado like me?”
When Silvers came up with a tray
of food he was minded to be loqua­
cious. The cook aud Metzger were
gambling. Krause, Hamner, Mike and
Graumann, too, were playing. Only
Kenzle and his hunkies were working.
“Tell Metzger to send some of them
up here—two only—to heave Sam over
the side."
Metzger had forgotten all about
Sam. Now he recalled with sudden
pleasure that In Sam's pockets was
gold enough to continue that game
and win back what Pereira had taken.
Hamner was sent on deck with Mike.
Hamner wag Instructed to remove the
gold. He reported that a more en­
terprising person had been there first.
Infuriated, the engineer accused the
cook. It was well known that the
cook had very little and yet, before
luck turned his way, he had lost a
lo t Murder might have been done but
for Pereira admitting that what he
had he took from Augustus Condon,
whom he had caught robbing Sam.
Thus It was that Slivers, making
sandwiches, was seized upon and put
to the torture. He admitted quickly
that he had robbed Sam, but put the
amount at a larger sum than It was.
Pereira thus had to pay back not only
ail of Sara’s money, but nearly all his
winnings. Metzger, now serene In
triumph, would not allow the boy to
be hurt. But Slivers saw murder
written In Pereira’s look. He aban­
doned his sandwiches and slipped off
On deck he went straight to Bet­
tlngton.
“The cook’s going to murder me,"
he said, trying to smile. "I'd like to
stay up here. He’s scared of you."
“That might be managed If I could
trust you," Bettlngton stifled the
boy’s protestations. “Talk makes no
Impression on me. I want action

A STRANGE CREATURE
The creature I’m going to tell you
about came from South Africa.
“Good-morrow," said Maxwell Ma-
holl Galago to hla brother, Mansfield.
“Good-morrow," said Mansfield.
"Do you know that we are distant
relatives of the Lemur family and
they are related to the monkey fam­
ily?" asked Maxwell.
“I don't know and I can’t say that
I care whether I do or not,” suld
Mansfield.
“Oh dear,” said Maxwell, “there
passes a bug. I must have him.” He
caught the bug aud ate It.
“I’ll have the next one. Brother
Maxwell," said Mansfield.
“Your home Is as untidy as mine
Is," said Mansfield. “You find a
forked branch so that two sides of
your bouse are built without much
trouble aud you get some old sticks,
dried leaves and any other old stud
you can find to finish It off with.
“You don’t bother about housekeep­
ing, nor does your mate. I can see
that."
“What's the use In fussing?”
asked Mansfield. “As long as I have
a place to eat and sleep, that is all I
care about.
“Of course I don’t build a large

little ones came not long ago I had

gentlemanly to turn Mrs. Mansfield
out.
“But Inter on the little ones found
their own homes, and built them, so
I moved back once more.”
“You think Just the same as I do,"
said Maxwell, "and you do Just the
same, too.
“I have heard of creatures who were
forever fussing about their homes,
dusting, finding pretty things and
bothering all the time.
"Really they get all tired out, and
why, may I ask?"
“You may ask, but I can’t tell you,”
said Mansfield, “for I do not under­
stand such people."
“I feel sleepy," said Maxwell, “It Is
bedtime.” So he went back to his own
home, folded his two huge and very
peculiar ears behind Ills head and
slept for a long time.
When he woke up he had a meal of
Insects.
“Eating, sleeping, doing nothing, are
the only things In the world I believe
In," he said to Mansfield when he
came to return his call later on
“I agree," said Mansfield. “Ah yes,
t see, you are Just as untidy as I am—

“My, but what a looking home you

words, and I think that la the right

"Ah, to be lazy, to do nothing, what
Joy It Is!"
"We are supposed to he as lazy as
any creatures living," said Maxwell.
“Good!” salil Mansfield. “I am glad
people and creatures know we have
good sense."
“But we wouldn’t like them all to
follow our example," said Maxwell.
“We will let them work, for there Is
work to be done In the world, only we
don't want to know of It."
"We don’t want to know of It. and

Fresh Egg Specialist
Astonished observers rubbed their
eyes and pinched each other the oth­
er day when they saw O. J. Slocum
sedately walking to market with one
egg in a basket.
“How come?" they queried each to
each. “Wherefore and likewise why?"
“You fellows wouldn’t understand,"
explained O. J., “but the fact Is Just
this. When I sell fresh eggs, they
ure strictly fresh und don’t ever doubt
it. I follow the hens around und as
soon ns an egg Is deposited In a nest
I carry It to the store. If a customer
is particular, he can get eggs for his
brenkfnst that are not over ten min­
utes old. This Is an age of specializ­
ing and I am n fresh egg specialist."

During the past ten years 35,000
hald eagles have been killed In the
Northwest. Spurred on by the bounty
offered by the government, one dol­
lar per pair of talons, Indians, fish­
ermen, hunters and boys bave com­
bined to carry out the war against
the birds. Not only do they prey on
salmon, small animals and wild
birds, but very young blue fox pups
are carried off by them.

Curling, long considered n mnn’s
game, lias become a feminine pastime
in Scotland. Some women have be­
come experts nt the game, and many
new curling clubs for them were
formed during the winter. The fa­
mous Scottish organization, the Kin­
ross Curling club, Is the latest to
form a women’s section, which Is al­
ready flourishing.

A WONDERFUL
HELP TO ME”
Read What Mr*. Arnold Sapa
About Lydia E. Pinkham’a
Vegetable Compound
Dothan, Ala.—“What a wonderful
help Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable
Compound has
been to me. I was
so nervous and
rundown I could­
n’t be up half the
time. When I had
taken one bottle
of V egctable Com-
pouna I could tell
I felt better, so I
took seven bottles
and I recommend
it highly. It helped
my nerves and
housework
ami wait on four little children. I hope
some other sulTering woman will try it."
