does the constant rattle of these open
ings become that many determined in
dividuals. who resolve to admit the

evils and close the openings in prefer
ence to sleepless nights. This can be

The annoyance of creaking drawers
can be eliminated by rubbing common
soap upon the top. sides and bottom Of

Creaking hinges on anything should
be well oiled. while the grating, irri-
tating noise of sewing machine can
be overcome in similar manner.
The little noises wear away the pa

things. 1t were foolish to dissipate
energy through the channels OF irri-
tated nerves when a little time will

SYNOPSIS.

The story opens with the introduction
of John Stephens. adventurer. a Massa-
Chusetts man marooncd by authorities at
Valparaiso, Chile. Being interested in
mining operations in Bolivia. he was de
nounced by Chile an insurrectionist
and consequence was hiding. At his
hotel his attention was attracted by an
Enclshman and young woman.
Stephens rescued the young woman from
a drunken officer He was thanked by
her. Admiral of the Peruvian navy con-
fronted Stephens, told him that war had
been declared between Chile and Peru
and offered him the office OF captain. He
desired that that night the Esmcralda. "A
Chilean vessel. should be captured.
Stephens accepted the commission.
Stephens met a motley crew. to which he
was assigned. He gave them final in

It was Lord Darlingtons private yacht.

He explained the situation to her lady
ship. Then First Mate Tuttlc laid bare
the plot. saving that the Sea Queen had
been taken in order to go to the Antarc-
tic circle. Tuttlc explained that on n
Former voyage he had learned that the
Donna Isabel was lost in 1853. He had

You understand what he means,

paused for breath. Once well ahead
we can fall back on canvas. and save
the coal. But we'll need the steam
power down there to hold her off an
on by the island while We do the job.

was playing.
Your scheme certainly sounds rea-

reluctantly. And the chances are
you will get there all right. But sup

this mysterious island: suppose you
find there the galleon as you say: sup

That's another reason why we had
to have n steamer" he explained,
calmly. You just remarked that
they'd be lookin' for the Sea Queen TO
come back. Well. let 'em look; they
won't never see her, sir. Once we
get that gold under matches. an back

Absolutely in commando"
He shifted about. appearing a trine
disconnected under my rapid ques-
tioning.
Well, yes; in everything concernin
the discipline an sailin of the yacht"
he explained. There won't be no
fuss about that job. sir. But we amt
a regular articled crew, bein' that
we're all here on shares in the enter

He thrust his head out of the win

the deck; then he leaned across the
table toward me. lowering his voice
until 1t was little more than whisper.
You get one-fifth, sir: the four of
us here get one-fifth each; the other
fifth is to be divided among the crew.
Amt that fair enough. sir?"
1T would appear so: yet there Is
still another matter of some impor-
tance to be decided first. There are

are offered does not permit of a
