CHAPTER xxi,
FROM UNDER THE SQUARE-SAIL
WARD

BY the rules of civilized warfare had
rendered the surgeon incapable of offensive
action, but, apart from his word of honor,
my best defense seemed to lie in his cow
ardice and ready acquiescencc to my de-
mands. Even In my intense interest in the
welfare of my friend l did not follow the
doctor to his side. | had matters OH my
heart and hands requiring immediate atten-
ton, but my first business was to rid the
cabin of the rcpulsive carcass that numbered
the foot of the companion way.
With as little feeling as though l was
handling bale OF goods, turned Louns.
bury over that might be sure of his death,
and by the limp and hideous way his head
fell to his shoulder knew he was past all
surgery. Grasping him by the collar, l
hauled him to the deck, and from thence to
the rail, launching him over the side with
the feeling that with him went the last of
my i'll luck. With the dead mans cutlass
about my waist and McCary's pistol in my
belt "a poor place for dry printing, as
was still reeking with wet), went again
into the cabin, and with an apology to tho
doctor for leaving him in the dark, took the
lantern from its hook on the beam and hur.
ried to where the wreck of the top hamper
still covered the deck about the foremost.
Though the light was seen from the Sprite,
it would create no suspicion; so Selling the
lantern to hoop in the mast, l attacked
the mass of broken spar, gear and canvas,
that l might verify or prove groundless tho
more than half hope which had come to me
while hung beneath the wreck of the din
gy. Them the hope was but a fimsy tissue;
now it was tinged with fear. If he girl
had not been struck down by falling spar
and hidden by the folds of the square sail,
then she must have been translated, for OF
her deliberate self-destructon 1 would not
now believe.
There was desperate humping on the
forecastle hatch by the imprisoned trio, but
so cngrossed in my present business that
nothing short of the splintering of the cover
or the arrival on belated GRAND of boat
from the Sprite, would have caused me to
desist.
The first uncovered was what thought
to be a pair of booted legs, but they proved
to be no more than my own foot gear which

for since boarding the Phantom in the fog
l had gone unshod. The wreck had been
thrown into.a fairly compact mass by the
side of the hatch, and it was perhaps five
minutes before had gotten to the bottom OF
it. But was well rewarded. Ere l had
cast aside the last of the fallen hamper ]

He is a Chicago board of. trade man, dig
nified to degree, has luxuriant, b,,shy side
whiskers, clean chin and upper lip, and he
dearly loves baseball He also has son
six years old, who loves the game as dearly
as does his father, and while the e.der enjoys
the playing in a solid, placid, contcnted way,
the boy bubbles over with enthusiasm and
outroots all other rooters.
During the last ChicagoSt. Louis game
father and son sat in the grand stand under
the, intense strain of knowing that st. Louis
had two men on bases and two out, and if
the man at the bat made a base hit the score
would be tied. The latter smote the ball
heavily. 1t scared upward and onward, far
back into what the baseball reporter calls
"the left garden"
Left Fielder Ryan was there, and, after a
long, hard squirt, caught the fly on his finger
tips and held it. The crowd screamed Joy
ously and the small son of his father nearly
went, out of his skin for glee. The father
merely smiled with dignity.
Finally the crowd ceased its yelling after
the left fielder had dotted his cap thrice.
There was silence as he walked to the bench
twirling his blond mustache with either
hand.
Then, with his fathers clean shaven upper
lip in mind, and with voice that drew the
attention of the assembled hundreds toward
his DEVOTED dad, the six:yearold rooter fair

JOHN c. HuB1NGER.
Western Capitalist, AInnufnct.
urer and Philanthropist.

Among the leaders of the progressive
element for which the midle west is
famous, Mr.. John c. Hubinger, of Keo-
kuk, Ia, reigns without peer. AS
manufacturer, as an enterprising cap
italist and as philanthropist his fame
has spread over many states, and his
financial enterprises have developed
many obscure towns into progressive,
thrifty and wide-awalSe cities. Mr..
Hubinger, although but AZ years of
age, can look back upon scores of COM
mercial victories, each one of which has
benefited mankind, for his liberality is
as bountiful as his business sagacity is
marvellous. He was born in New Or
leans, La, his parents being of French
and German origin. When he was four
years old, his family removed to Ken
lucky, in which state young Hubinger
received a public school education. AL
most before reaching mans estate he
secured patents on number of val
liable mechanical inventions, thereby
laying the foundation of his present
fortune.
By inclination and force of circum-
stances his attention was early direct
ed to the manufacture of starch by i'm
proved processes, and in the course of
time he became the head of concern
having an annual business of millions
of dollars. But genuine ambition
never quite satisfied with existing con-
ditions, works ever toward perfection:
and after years of painstaking study
and research Mr.. Hubinger has made a

quickly, sitting bolt upright and raising his

though relieved by the terms offered.
"And bide in the cabin until allowed the

"And care for the wounded lad?"

and burst into flame when least expected.
The cunning in his brain made up for the
lack of sinews in his body, for when turned
from locking up the bottle and sliding the
key into my pocket, noticed malevolence
in his face; but he shifted his eye from me.
and, getting to his feet with an effort,

browning event of his wonderful

new article of commerce, known as
Red Cross Starch (Red Cross trade

millions of packages of this starch to
the housewives of America, at merely
nominal price to the consumer, in order
to make it's merits known without de-

every lady will certainly want to take

has been largely visited here and words of
the highest praise have been heard from
all who have seen it. The instructors from
the art schools, together with their pupils
have viewed 1t time and again and have
been enthusiastic over its beauty and
artistic merit. Many visitors have been in
the habit of viewing it almost daily and
will regret its departure. No one should
