In this country, in his official capac-
ity, the president has nothing to do
with religion. He is not worshipped
as a little god like the Pope or the
Car or King Edward. Here church
and state are entirely separate. The
president does not make and unmake
priests and prelates; he executes and
enforces the laws of the United States
as the servant Of a mighty and power
ful people. Therefore, his religious
views is personal matter. He may
believe in god or not as suits his
disposition, training and convictions.
We, as his employer, are not interest
ed in his peculiar beliefs. If the pres
ident were using his Office to spread
some religious propaganda, then we
should have an interest in the matter.

shows that the greatest minds differ
On this matter and that either side
may be right. Jesus Christ may be

mind seemed to be away from the
Pranzos and everybody on it. Jerry
offered her food, but she paid no at
tention to him and ate practically
nothing. Once in a while she was
overheard to humble to herself, and
occasionally to smile as though
amused.
''Her father permitted her to have
her own way much of the time," said
the captain to Jerry, as they stood be-
hind the girl. "She was belle in
Pandaro, and her frequent visits to
Madrid were marked by social tri-
umphs. 1t is said that she once tried
to kill herself because she could not
have every dance with young officer
of the Spanish army. People gener.
ally considered her eccentric and most
unusual, but I don't think they be-
lieved her to be insane. Senor Lopez
had no notion of placing her in any.
asylum for the violently demented."
In the middle of the third night on
the rock a joyous sound came from
the signal station to the brave little
party on the wreckage. Jerry Cham
bers shouted down that vessel was
discerned to the northward, far out at
sea. All but three or four OF the men,
almost delirious with hope, scrambled
up the rock.
"She is moving away!" cried one
man. "She does not see us!"
more wood, more wood" screamed
+1,o ,toi, w
are lost!''
All the inflammable. material that
could be carried up the rock soon was
blazing. But still the vessel at sea
kept moving away.
'Fire the whole wreckage!" cried
Jerry. "1t's our only, chance in the
world!"
1t was a matter of but a short time
before the heavy timbers of the i'll
fated craft began to blaze. So dense
became the smoke that the survivors
were forced to pick their hazardous
way to the other side of the rock. Jer-
ry and the captain succeeded in carry
ing Senorita Mercedes to a place
where the breathing was bearable, but
three men who followed them were
suffocated and fell to death in the
sea below. Jerry, almost overcome
by the smoke, managed to reach q
place where he could, at intervals of q
few minutes, watch the vessel at sea.
"She doesn't see us!" cried he, his
hope almost expiring. "She is going
away from us!"
It was now that the flames were
highest. The wind had shifted SO
that the only point Of observation be

CHAPTER XVI.

>"She is demented," said the captain
Of the ill-fated Pranzos when Senorita
Mercedes was asleep, "but she is not
violently insane. SenOr Lopez was
on his way to Havana, where he in
tended placing her in sanitarium for
treatment. She seemed to court dan
ger. God only knows If any of US
will ever live to get to Havana"
The remaining members of the crew
had succeeded in saving some of the
provisions and two casks of water, in
the vain hope that the supply might
serve the survivors until they were
rescued, if such an event ever came to
pass.
What hope is there that a vessel
may pass and see us?" asked Jerry.
'The slimmest in the world" an
.swered the captain *The sailings
from Uranian and Pardacinian ports
are generally arranged so that this
point is passed in the night. Unless
we are discovered in the day time we
must keep up burning signals all
night, no matter if the whole Of the
boat be sacrificed"
The captains talk sent new chill
of terror through every one of the lit
tie group: Already they had been on
the rock Is hours. By this time the
sea had calmed and the gale had sub
sided to a brisk head wind. The sky
had cleared md the sun shone bright
from far in the west. AS the shades Of
; night began to fall preparations were
{ made for signaling in the darkness.
Jerry Chambers and three or four of
the younger men climbed up the rag
ged rock as high as they could go and
set a heap of the splintered wood.
It was not until the first stars began
/! to twinkle in the east that fire was
! touched to the wood. The men worked
| In shifts in keeping the blaze alive;
!, at the first signs of dawn the fire was

they picked their way together.
Senor Lopez acted as master of cere'
monies, Jerry taking the seat at his
right, Senorita Mercedes, pale but
staunch, having the one at his left.
When the merchant struggled to his
feet to announce formally the purpose
of the supper, it seemed to Jerry,
who had been infinitely more inter-
ested in the storm and the fate of the
Pranzos than in the honor being shown
him, that the old vessel was plunging
and twisting and groaning more furi-
ously than at any time before. He
did not believe she could stand the
terrific strain much longer.
"Uranians let no such thing as
storm at sea deter them from show
ing honor to whom honor is DUE" be-
gan Senior Lopez, smiling weakly, but
his enthusiasm was hopelessly at low
ebb. "Capt Chambers deserves every
consideration that we, as Uranians,
can show him. He possesses every
quality that contributes to the great
ness of man, and his achievements
in our beloved land will shine out fol
ever"
Crash! The tumbling, twisting
creaking Pranzos had reached the Isl

to take a coil of rope from the trem-
bling mast, and, with an end in his
hands. he threw it towards her. He
thought little Of his aim, but his
throw could not have been more ac-
curate, the tangled rope striking her
body squarely.
In a few minutes, after almost ex.
hausting himself in the effort, he sue.
ceeded in hauling her back to the
mast
"You have done more for me than
girl cried, as she strengthened her grip
on his tired arm.
The remark so startled Jerry that
for an instant he almost forgot the
awful situation
The two clung to the mast for hours,
both half drowned and thoroughly ex.
hausted. The remaining part Of the
old ship had gradually been pounded
and hammered to a position behind
the eastern rock, where the force OF
the wind and water was considerably
broken, and it was only then that they
dared venture away from the mast
While they clung to that mast the con.
stant battering against the rocks had
torn gaping hole just below the wa:
ter line on the higher side, and the
life of every one in the saloon was
lost in a swirling flood Of water. OF
all on board there remained alive not
more than Is, all of whom managed
to reach the deck. Only seven of the
crew, including the captain, survived
All that was left of the Pranzos
when the first tint Of dawn came, and
when the storm had spent itself, was
about 40 feet in the bow, which was
anchored high on the western rock
Those who could WELD . hand secured
the anchor chains and hawsers and
made fast the wrecksge to parts Of the
ragged rock.
Senorita Mercedes was fatherlesa
ana she was the only woman to escape
death. And to the surprise Of all. she
was the calmest person in tho little
terror-stricken group. At times she
jested, and once, to the. horror Of all
she started to sing q catchy Spanish
song.

"What-what-"

''You pleaded with me to save you

with a fiendish laugh-"for him to Sc,
