KIRK PREVENTS A LYNCHING

KIRK PREVENTS A LYECHING.
As Malcom Kirk and Carver ran on
directly in the face of that wild line of
fire and smoke there was only one su-
preme thought in the mind of Malcolm.
He saw the boys mother, and while he
ran he heardsher voice as she had ap-
pealed to him in his study.
lnstinctively the two men bore off
from the road over which the horses
had entered the town toward a swale
where the grass and rosin weeds grew
deep, and it was but few feet from
the beaten track Of the prairie road
that they saw the body of Philip Bar
ton, lying face downward, the hands
clinched and holding tightly a broken
piece Of the lines of the harness.. Y.

Carver was entirely sober now. He
was naturally man of great muscular
endurance. Malcom had kept up his
physical training in his work with the
young men in the church.
Not a word was said. They realized
that the time was short, and they ran
with their unconscious, heavy burden
between them. =<s$5 z2s:. ;
Meanwhile men, women and children
had organized in a desperate effort to
save the town. There was one fact in
their favor. It had been the custom,
for those living on the edge Of the town
to picket their animals out on the prai-
rie near by. The grass was cropped
short on this account, Under any or
dinary circumstances this fact would
have insured safety from any usual
fire. But the whole prairie was aflame.

A little farther down the street the

Kirk looked around him. The citi-

trivance. On board large yawls or
schooners of thirty or forty tons it is
often better than OIL but only where
there is plenty of storage room for
fuel and a large galley which may be
kept clean.
For nervous people or people who
suffer from nervous dyspepsia or eX-
haustion, there is no other kind of life
which compares with that aboard the
small cruiser, where the sufferer must
do some of the work about deck. But
there must be real work, not just lend
ing a hand on a line here and there.
Many things are to be borne in mind
by the amateur sailor when he decides
to live for a time aboard a vessel as
"owner and master" First of all. he
must be philosophical. He must not
take the bird-like life too seriously.
Accidents and maritime dangers, such
as storms and collisions must be look
ed out for, but not made into a night
mare to worry him. He must carry
away gear and perhaps a stick or two
now and then without getting on his
nerves. There is little danger in bad
weather. if he uses ordinary Judgment
in shortening sail, and he must remem-
Der that only 1unatics or worse carry
much sail in heavy squalls. His craft,
with moderate amount of outside bal
last, will be quite uncapsizable under
the conditions she was designed to un-
dergo. If he wishes to have a craft
that will carry all sail in black squat,
or a topsail in a gale, he should get
ashore and join the rockng-chair fleet.
There he may indulge in problems OF
metacentric hight to his hearts content
without danger to himself or compan-
ions
Neither should he be too particular
in regard to his personal habits. He
should board the craft with the spirit
he had when he went on his first pic
mic, and be ready TO live in plain style.
This warning will be appreciated after
an expensive steward brings him in his
first meal or two.
Canned goods need not be served
aboard yachts cruising in the waters
along the coast. He is poor steward
who cannot furnish fresh beef. chops
and steaks, to say nothing of all kinds
of fish, at a moderate expense. Then,
with rice, macaroni, hominy and some
of the numerous prepared foods, he
will have a necessary variety without
opening his tins. They should be re-
served for necessity when the market
has failed. With proper slowing vast
amound of good food may be taken
aboard and kept out of sight. yet al
ways easy of access.
The question of tips by the owner
guests is one to be considered and is
a hard problem to solve satisfactorily.
The host must try to see that no one
guest overdoes the matter, or some
morning, when he asks after the
whereabouts of particular friend, his
bo'sn may ask him If "he refers to that
cheap Teller what come aboard last
Sunday"
After all, life aboard small vessels
of either the cruising or fishing types
resolves itself into an art-the art of
making light of disagreeable things, as
on shore, and making the most of the
Jews days of sunshine and joy which
may be any mans portion who has
sense enough to pick them.
