The second and third day passed without
being INDUCED in lightly between watches.
Jimmy Breeze did not want to strike too
soon.
The fourth day the land was made with
a gentle breeze from the southwark and
the skipper knew he would make harbor
before daylight failed. He played with such
discretion that three more bills of 800 each
remained TO his credit. Mr. Goodman had
lest heavily and had apparently only about
n hundred in small bills. formerly owned
by the skipper. The second mate was
equally unfortunate and retained only what
small notes Mr.. Hernandez had lost IN the
game.

the game ended. THAT you fellows have

To tell Of the life of this family during
the month that followed would require a
volume, and it would be an interesting vol
ume, too. for they lived wholly free from
care. They were dressed in their old
clothes, and no one feared stain from the
grass or soil; at was all clean dirt as
they often said with glee. About the only
household work was in the preparing of
food: all hands shared in that and made 1t
light. They roamed the woods and made
collections Of plants. They watched the
arrival of new varieties of birds from day
to day, and searched out the hiding places
where nests were built. They made friends
with the chipmunk and the red squirrel.

Mr. Goodman laid down his four kings
and was about to rake in the pot. when a

desist.
Jimmy Breeze laid down a straight flush.

Goodman sadly, pulling out his purse and
producing five bills of 800 each.

The game continued. but there was no
more plunging. Nothing the skipper could
do would draw his passenger into another
wild play.
When the steward came in to fix the table
for the evening meal the skipper had five
800 bills to put away. To offset this, his
second mate had $50 in smaller notes. and
MIR. Goodman had about $50 in coin. The

The setting sun shone red over the dis

northward rose the spars of ships. Rio
lay ahead and the first part of the long
coasting voyage had been made In record
time. Jimmy Breeze ran his vessel into
the anchorage and prepared to put his
profitable passengers ashore.
