like shadows shaping themselves out

swiftly armed themselves. While
they were doing this, Crystal softly
closed the skylight.

They rushed forward; the COM

covers sufficed to close down the hold
of that little brig. One, to shelter the
'tween-decks from the rain, was al
ready on; the other lay atop of it. In

A considerable quantity of horsefeshI

another 10000 which are killed in ALI
parts Of England Curiously enough3
London is the only town in Great
Britain where the catsmeat man,
flourishes, and there appears to be a.
surplus of sixty tons of sound horse
flesh weekly of which the cats Of the
metropolis do not account for. There
are sixteen licensed butchers in the
metropolis, who are mostly patronized
by Germans and Scandinavians, and
although the trade is carried ON sub,

which figure on our breakfast table,
owe their origin to the horse.-London

CHAPTER xxII.-continued.

"Oh, my hearts delight, you will be
my wife!" said Pope, taking her hand,
and as she did not withdraw it, to-
gether they walked the dark deck
with locked fingers.
On sudden it began to rain in very
fine drops. The deep shadow of the
wet sank into the night, and the sea
grew SO vague and phantasmal you
would not have known whether the
brig fioated in air or upon water but
for the fire that curled in the ripple at
the bow, and the soft sob and harsh
gurgle under the counter. Captain
Pope, calling to Grindal to keep a
bright lookout, conducted Miss Crys-
tai below.
Shortly after they had bade each
other good night, Pope went on deck
to take a last look round, and smoke
piece of cigar, before turning in for
few hours. A fine rain continued
to fall. He called Grindal to him,
and they stood together under the lee
OF quarter-boat, which in some
measure sheltered them.

BOTH FEEL
What Proper Food Does for Both
Mind and Body.

Physical health, mental health, in>
deed almost everything good on thia
earth depend in great measure upon
proper food.
Without health nothing is worth.
while and health can be won almost
every time by proper feeding on the
scientific food Grape-Nuts.
A California trained nurse proved
this: Three years ago l was taken
very sick. my work as a trained nurse
having worn me out both in body and
mind. and medicine failed to relieve
me at all. After seeing a number OF
physicians and specialists and getting
no relief l was very much discouraged
and felt that l would die of general
nervous and physical collapse.
my condition was so bad I never
imagined food would help me but ON
the advice OF a friend | tried Grape
Nuts. The first package brought me
so much relief that l quit the medi-
cines and used Grape-Nuts steadily
three times day. The result was
that within months l had so COM
pletely regained my strength and
health that l was back nursing again
and l feel the improvement in my
brain power Just as plainly as l do in
physical strength.

Pope listened breathlessly. Find

and twenty of 'em, headed by the

"Of course it was a fired lie from
beginning to end" says Grindal. "in-
vented out of your scheme. But
there's nothing like farming an idea
into a story to make yourself under

theirn."
The fine rain continued to fall. The
weather promised a long. black, wet
night. Nearly all hands were in the
'tween-decks, under shelter. After
holding Grindal In conversation-be-
ing posted abreast of the mainmast.
SO that the man at the helm could not
possibly hear what was said-Pope
went below. 1t was about eleven
o'clock. The cabin-lamp was dimly
burning. He leaned upon the table
for a minute or so lost in reflection. A
feeling OF uneasiness possessed him.
Had he been wise in taking Grindal
into his confidence? But the thing
had to be done. and there was but one
road to It: and after drinking a tum-
bier OF brandy and water, he went to
bed.
At midnight Grindal went below
and called Crystal. who Immediately
turned out. 1t was still black as thun-
der and raining.
The change of watches had created
the usual confusion in the tween
decks. Half turned out, and half
turned in, and the baby cried dismally
awakened by the noise. but was pres.
emily silenced by no unfriendly hand.
Crystal hailed the tops. and found
them untenanted. The men at eight
bells had come down, and the mate
did not order others to replace them.
