his son Richard, aged four, into the

for the night and distributing, as equal

sea coming up a bit, and Dade and

There was no great change in con-
ditions as l stumbled sleepily aft to
take the tiller. The boat was sailing
free, but with q reef in the mainsail,
owing to a marked %stiffening Of the
wind. The intense loneliness of the
scene cast an even stronger spell over

steely glitter of stars; the nearby
white crested waves; the little, insig-

away to the north, east, west, south,
the vast fields of ice, the extent of
storm-lashed seas, the seeming hope

choked in my throat, my lips pressed
tight, my eyes staring blindly u in
to the smother.
Suddenly the blanket at my feet
stirred, and Lady Darlington sat up,
her back against the gunwale and face
upturned to mine. The cold CLEAN

clear cut as a cameo, framed by the
darkness of her hood. l could dis

lashes, and. beneath that light. the

CHAPTER XXI.


No one uttered a sound after that
first wild cry. We sat there stunned
into silence by the horror of the sit
uation, every eye staring blindly in
to the mist, the long-boat tossing like
q chip on the swell caused by the en-
quilting of the yacht. The crippled Sea
Queen had evidently gone down like
q shot. Twice / endeavored to speak,
but something chOked me, and my
voice failed. I reached down into my
pocket, held close to my eyes the
small compass l always carried, and
swung the boats head northward.
Even this slight effort at action gave
me back some easur of self-con-
troll.
"You had better step the mast. Mr..
De Nova, and get out what canvas you
can spread. There is not much wind,
but we'll make the best Of what little
there Is"
They went at the task as though
clad to have work given them, but l
could see nothing but the dim out
lines Of their forms.

into my eyes.

BABY'S SCALP CRUSTED

Our little daughter, when three
months old, began to break out on the
head and we had the best doctors to
treat her, but they did not do her any
good. They said she had eczema. Her
scalp was a solid scale all over. The
burning and itching was SO severe that
she could not rest, day or night. We
had about given up all hopes when we
read of the Cuticura Remedies. We at
once got a cake Of Cuticura Soap, a
box Of Cuticura Ointment and one bot
tie Of Cuticura Resolvent, and fol-
lowed directions carefully. After the
first dose of the Cuticura Resolvent,
we used the Cuticura Soap freely and
applied the Cuticura Ointment. Then
she began to improve rapidly and in
two weeks the scale came off her
head and new hair began to grow. In
a very short time she was we'll. She is
now sixteen years of age and a pic
ture Of health. We used the Cuti-
cura Remedies about five weeks, reg
ularly, and then we could not tell she
had been affected by the disease. We
used no other treatments after we
found out what the Cuticura Remedies
would do for her. j. Fish and Ella M.
