CHAPTER VII.
The Joy of Freedom.

The Joy OF Freedom.
One night at dinner she had fed
from him. He had been drinking more
heavily than usual and was in an ugly
mood. His handsome face was flushed.
a savage frown o~verspread his brow.
He had risen during the meal and with
a coarse endearment had attempted
to lay hands upon her-at last! She
had broken away and darted into the
nearest cabin, which happened to be
his own. She had closed the loo and
turned the key against him before he
realized what she was about. She
stood within the little room, painting
enraged, fearful, yet ready to defend
her all and almost glad the crisis had
arrived. She could hear his drunken
laugh outside the door.
"Why, you little fool" he cried, do
you think can't break that lock down
in a moment? The ships mine, every
man on it's mine. I pay EN-. They
do my bidding. I have you where /
want you and I can have you when I
please, now-or later"
Was it true? Could she appeal to the
men? But what could she say? AL
though the world knew there was no
binding tie between them, to the off.
GERS and men of the yacht she was his
wife. They would not interfere. And
If she declared the truth. she would
put herself beyond the pale of their
sympathies. Being merely stupid men,
with conventional ideas about pro-
priety, in that event they would be
less apt to interfere than ever. 1t was
true she could do nothing. She sank
down on a hassock, clenching her
hands.
AS she sat, her eyes fell on a chest
of drawers screwed against the bulk
head. The top contained various toilet
articles of silver. Among them was a
picture, the picture of a woman. 1t
was not her picture. Moved by what
impulse she did not stop to analyze,
she rose and picked It up. The face
she looked at was ineffably vulgar and
common. Across the bottom was writ
rem in a scrawly uniformed hand, Your
devoted wife" There was a date sew
"ral years before that hour. Your de.
voted wife, She had been In that
stateroom before: she had never seer

out since the rupture between them.

was another woman to whom he had
been bound. oh, not by the marriage
tie that h %disdained, but by the
honor which was supposed to exist
among thieves and which certainly
should exist among philosophers. And
such a woman! A cold fury filled her

she would seek him.
He was still in the cabin. She could
hear him muttering thickly to himself.
Impulsively she stepped to the door,
turned the key in the lock, threw 1t
open and entered the brilliantly
lighted luxurious cabin. He had dis
missed the attendants some time
since with orders not to reappear I'M

alone. There vas no likelihood Of any
interruption whatsoever. The man,
who was leaning back in his chair,

had wrought in n whom h had
hitherto deemed worthy of her affec-

nothing except the business in hand.
80 you've come out, have you?" he
stammered triumphantly. Come OF
your own free will! You've found out,
have you, that / am master and you
are coming to heel?"
He whistled to her derisively. whis-
tied as If to a dog!
"Who is this?" asked the woman in
a voice carefully suppressed, yet which
shook with wrath.
She held the photograph in its
heavy silver frame up before him.
That's my wife," he said equally.

"My MISTRESS" said the man, blunt
ly, throwing the last shred of conceal

he went on.
Now, the woman believed in no

ancestry wrung the words from her
lips.

man. You told me so yourself" He
laughed. And I believed you. I
would have believed anything to get

Well, there was no God the woman
realized, but she would be her own
god. Her body shrank together a lit
tie, her hands clenched. The feline
was uppermost. She could have sprung
upon him, but she waited, waited for

ancient phrase, they first make mad"
He rushed to his doom with blind
folly.

regarded her as a mad oma There

Clarence Cunningham showed his
resourcefulness as promoter when
he secured from the government a
right of way for railroad, up a
canyon to the claims, the only ave

to the group. He also secured the
right to a harbor and prepared to

The railroad was incorporated,

WHY NOT SAWDUS1
FLOUR IN j. 5.

Flour from sawdust is another
step in the movement for the CON
servation of forest resources. The
United States consul at Chris
tiania Norway, has sent to this
government a suggestion along
this line which may be of value
to American lumbermen who are
wrestling with the problems Of
SawduSt waste.
The flour in question is not the
kind which goes into the making
Of light, fluffy biscuits, and the
other kind which are not light, or
flaky pastry, but ii is an ingredi-
Cnt 70" 4 whole lot of useful things
not intended for mans stomach.
The wood flour is ground in a
cheap mill, very similar to those
| which grind corn and rye. Pine
and spruce sGWdust is used in Eu-
rope, and. after passing through
the stones and the boiling chest,
il Is sacked or haled for shipment,
1t is then worth $l2 to $13 q ton.
The flour has a number Of uses.
one Of which is in the making of
dynamite 1t is the absorbent for
| the nitrOplyCerin, which is the
explosive ingredient Wood flour
! dynamite is inferior to that made
with intusOrial earth as the abb
aorbcnt; bur it serves many pur
/ poses and is cheaper.
Linoleum makers mix wood flour
with linseed oil and give body to
,heir floor coverings. 1t is not
considered quite equal to ground
cork for this purpose, as it is less
elastic. but il is cheaper and
meets requirements for medium
grades.
The flour fills an important
place in the manufacture Of Xyol-
tie, and kind Of artificial flooring,
resembling wood in weight and
stone in other respects. 1t is used
for kitchen floors and in halls, cor
rid0rs, cafes, restaurants and
public r0ms. 1t is impervions to
water. and is practically fireprof.
Il is f.O0v material in some of the
! German war vessels. It is 50 used
because il IS not liable to take fire
or splinter if struck by shells,
The amount of sawdust to be
had in this country is practically
unlimited, Norway exports thou
sands Of tons of this sawdust flour

takes some Of it, England is an
extensive buyer and much goes to
