No. 2. Here is another one:
A sea captain on voyage had a
crew of 30 men, half of whom were
blacks. Becoming becalmed on
the passage for a long time, their
provisions began to fail, and the
captain became satisfied that
unless the number of men was
greatly diminished, all would
perish of hunger before they
could reach any friendly port. He
therefore proposed to the sailors
that they should stand in row on
deck, and that every ninth man
should be thrown overheard until
one-half of the crew were thus des
troyed. To this they all agreed
How should they stand so as to
save all the whites?

SOMETHING ABOUT THE STORY

"THE ORDEAL OF FIRE is a
story of battle with strong love
interest running through it.
Ernest Vaughn is engaged to Ger
trude Lydeard, and he is anxious
for the wedding to take place at
once. The girl is in no hurry for
marriage. Thereupon Vaughan sus-
poets that she has formed an at
tachment with young Greek
named Theodore, who is about to
leave London to fight in the Turco-
Greek war. He is greatly distress
ed with his suspicious, and ulti-
mately he breaks off the engage
ment. He is heart-broken and he
determines to go abroad. He vol
unteers for service in the Greek
army, and on the way out he meets
his supposed rival, young Theo-
dore.
From this point the story becomes
very complicated. Vaughan and
Theodore have some thrilling adj
ventures. The most thrilling cpl
sodes of the war are graphically de-
scribed by the writer, and he works
UP his story to a most exciting
climax.
"iHE ORDEAL OF FRE" will
be read with special interest at this
time when wars and rumors of wars
occupy SO large a share of putlic at
tention.
