CHAPTER xVi.-Continued.

I'VE can make it easy in three days,
Mr.. Stephens" broke in Anderson,
loudly. IF we only have decent wealth
er. we could rip up that old hooker,
copper the swag and be north-bound
In that time"
/ never glanced toward him, my
eyes still on the mate.
T But the women, De Nova?"
He was looking at them, and, fol-
lowing his eyes, turned also. Celeste
was bending eagerly forward, her
dark eyes sparkling with excitement;
her mistress stood erect, grasping the
edge OF the longboat, her face flushed
by the keen wind, her lips firmly
pressed together.
Il sink Eat maybe zey vote wiz re

pleasantly.
Lady Darlington reached one hand
ont for the rail, her skirts tapping,
her hair blowing free beneath her hat.
1T will be best for us to go on, Mr..
Stephens" she said, quietly. "The
men will never be satisfied otherwise;
and do not blame them. Too much
has been risked already to turn back
at the last moment because of little
additional peril. Nor am l willing 1t
should be done merely to spare us a
few more days of discomfort. We
must take our chances, and, as for my
self, trust absolutely in your sea-
manship."
There was growl of appreciation
from below, Anderson's voice shouting
Mp hoarsely: you're the right stuff"
but stood there in silence, gazing at
her in establishment, feeling deserted
by every one, and realizing that the en-
tire responsibility was now mine. More
clearly than any among them l COM
pretended the peril fronting US, the
desperate chance we were about to
take, the casting of dice with death.
Yet what was there left for me to do?
Absolutely nothing; the choice had

"Ay, ay, sir!"

watched them "a they scattered
hike so many schoolboys at play, An
derson and De Nova driving them to
their various tasks. A hand touched
my arm gently.
vi hope you are not angry, Mr.. Ste
phens. Did | do so very wrong?"
: looked down into her gray eyes
niied with appeal, and felt my face
brighten.
Frankly, do not know l replied,
honestly. "Of course, could not hope
to oppose all the crew, but we are
taking a terrible chance. | appreciate
your courage, Lady Darlington, and
shall do my best to justify your con-
fidence in my seamanship. But you

Merton Cricket club luncheons. many

tuberculosis in ireland.

A bill will be brought before the
British parliament calling for steps
to be taken to prevent the high NOR
tally from tuberculosis in Ireland.
The bill will demand the compulsory
notification and registration of tuber-
culosis cases, the establishment of spe-
cial institutions for consumptive pa
tents, the instruction of the public
about this disease, and improved con-
troll over the meat and milk supplies.

tarpaulins, sweeping the horizon with
my glasses, but discovering nothing
to awaken alarm. / saw nothing of
the watch, except as l called for them.
Then they came, clawing their way
out of the snug holes where they hid
from wind and water. However, there
was little enough for any of us to do;
Ne could simply hold on, trusting in
the strength of the keel under us, and
steering to eastward of the ice-pack.
1t was a wild, mad night, the wind
freezing to the marrow, and every
wave dashing its icy spray hurting
against the front of the wheelhouse.
At eight bells l went below again,
every muscle of my body aching, and
my face tingling as though pierced by
a thousand needles. / sat down before
the red-hot stove in the cabin, think
ing l should never get the cold thawcd
out of me. Yet inside of ten minutes,
with head resting on the chair-back,
and legs extended to keep my balance,
was sound asleep.
Whether a sudden leap of the YES
sci or some unusual noise aroused me
l cannot say. Dazed, confused, l sat
upright, staring about me, for the mo-
ment scarcely realizing where l was
l could hear the fierce pounding of the
sea without, the shrieking of wind
through the cordage, and the rattle
and grooming of the woodwork as the
struggling vessel dived into the hol-
lows and fought her way back to the
crests. A shower of hail dashed the
windows, rafting like shot against the
shutters. AS l glanced backward
across my shoulder, l heard, above
all that hellish uproar, a hollow,
unearthly groan. l was upon my feet
in an instant, grasping at the edge Of
the table, striving vainly to place the
sound. For some cause l could not
keep my eyes off Tuttle's door, every
nerve pulsing with agony. Was it
imagination, illusion? By all the gods,
l beheld white visionary form glide
nciselessly forth and disappear as
though dissolved in mist. 1t was GER
tainly there, yet, in another instant,
had vanished, / knew not how.
stared about into the dim corners. then
leaped toward the door, seeking to
open it. 1t was locked; of course 1t
was, for the key was in my own
pocket.
Many times l have known fear, but
not such fear as this which now smote
me. Here was something intangible,
something could not reach and throt-
tie, a dim, frightful shade, coming
from God alone knew whence. l
pressed my hands to my head, and en-
deavored to laugh, to WOO back my
courage. Great heavens, was l also
losing my mind? Was to be haunted
and pursued by evil fancies? Had the
curse of this ship now descended upon
me? / staggered to my feet, holding
on desperately to the table, seized the
decanter from off the swinging shelf
and drank deeply Lord, what grim
fancies a man may have when the
physical organism is unstrung!
glanced at my watch, discovering /
still had two hours below, and crossed
over to my stateroom, nerving myself
to play the man, yet glancing about
fearfully into the dancing shadows.
laughed as l closed the door, but shot
the bolt hard, and lay there for an
hour listening, every nerve a-tingle,
before fatigue finally closed my eyes.

30 Years Success
H. F. Pitts Offers a Remedy for
Catarrh. The Medicine
Costs Nothing if it Fails.

When a MEDICINE effects a sue
cessful treatment in a very large
majority of cases, and when we
offer that medicine on our own
personal guarantee that it will cost
the user nothing if it does not COM
pletcly relieve catarrh, it is only
reasonable that people should be-
lievc US, or at least put our claim
to a practical test when we take
all the risk. These are facts which
we want the people to substan-
tiate We want them to try ReXall
MucuTonc, a medicine prepared
from a prescription Of a physician
with whom catarrh was speciality,
and who has a record of thirty
years of cnviablc success to his rec
ord.
We receive more good reports
about Rexall Mucu-Tonc than We
do Of all other catarrh remedies
sold in our store, and ii more peo-
pie only knew what a thoroughly
dependable remedy RcNall Mucu-
Tone is, it would be the only ca
tarrh remedy we would have any

Warm wheat for breakfast makes

Plenty Of bone all the time. If
you haven't a cutter use an old AK
or Ratchet, but break the bone
in small pieces.
Takes more to fat a hen now
thanit did two months ago, but
don't winter the hens that are so
old they may die before spring.
Feed them well, keep them warm
and let them go the first chance
you have.
Green food must not be forgot
ten. Some feed green rye when
it can be had, others give sprouted
oats, others beets and turnips and
cabbage, and others add cut clover
hay to the mash. All of the
greens mentioned are good.
Salt is an essential for poultry as
for human beings or animals. But
it is not wise to feed it by itself
The better way is to season the
food whenever that can be done
The warm mash inthe winter gives
an excellent opportunity to supply
it.
A little more corn may be added
to the evening grain ration, as the
hens will need more heating food.
On the farm of the writer the Win
ter grain ration consists of two
parts whole corn, one, part oats,
and one part wheat. During the
summer only one ? art corn IS
given to two parts oats and one
part wheat.
If porcelain eggs are used for
nest eggs in cold weather, cover
them with light flannel. or some
other material, to avoid torture to
the hens. An artificial egg is al
ways of the same temperature as
the atmosphere, while the temper
aturc of a hens body is about ro2
degree, 1t may readily be seen
that in freezing weather these ice
cold eggs will cause the hens to
get chilled. From December
