Need for Two Collars,

Having bought a dog that he ad-
mired a Washington Heights man un-
dertook to buy a dog collar. The dog
had neck nearly as big as his head
and the dealer advised the man to
buy two collars.
What for?" said the man. He's
got only one neck. so guess he can
get along with only one collar. can't
he?"
Maybe So" said the dealer. so the
man went away leading the dog By
his new collar and chain.
In less than week he brought tho
dog back.
I'm afraid I can't keep him." no
said. HE is too obstreperous. can't
keep him tied up His neck Is tho
biggest part OF him and he is as strong
as an OK, therefore It Is a sinch for
him to slip his collar on"
That is why I wanted you to take
two collars" said the dealer. Put
both on and fasten the chain to tho
back collar and he can tug away all
night without getting loose. He may
commit suicide. but he won't get
loose"

away from the yachts side with no
idea that she was running into any
possible danger.
1t was half mile, perhaps, from
the yacht to the particular bit Of
shelving beach toward which she un-
consciously propelled the boat. She
rowed steadily. without so much as
a glance over her shoulder, until she
felt the crate Of the shingle beneath
the bow.
She became aware, not only that
she had unconsciously come ashore,
but also that the yacht was nowhere
to be seen. A bank of fog had come
rolling in from the eastward, SO
heavy as to render an object 100
PAGES away totally invisible. The
clump Of empty buildings here on the
beach could hardly be half that dis
tance, as she remembered, yet looking
round from her seat in the row boat,
she could make out no more than
their blurred masses against the white
Ice and sand which surrounded them.
She scrambled out Of the boat and
pulled 1t high up on the beach. The
fog made the air seem cold, though
for the arctic 1t was a mild night.
Two of the abandoned buildings on
the beach behind her were mere
sheds. windowless, absolutely bare,
never having served. evidently, any
other purpose than that Of storage
But the third. and largest, as she re-
membered it, offered a shelter that
was becoming attractive. There were
some rude hunks in it where she
could rest comfortably enough; and.
unless she was mistaken, Scales had
left in the hut a half-burned candle
which they had used in exploring its
dark interior. She had a box of wax
vestas in her pocket. She could go in
there and make herself at home, and
at the same time keep an alert ear
for hail from the yacht.
She found the candle In the place
where she remembered Scales had
laid 1t down, struck light and
wedged the candle into knot-hole
She turned toward one of the hunks
with the idea OF stretching out there,
and by relaxing her muscles, persuade.
perhaps, her overstrung nerves to re-
lax, too
She had taken a step toward it, in
deed, before she saw, through the
murk and candle smoke. the thing that
lay right before her eyes-a rather
large, brass-bound rosewood box or
chest 1t had not been here in the
afternoon when they had entered the
place, for they had searched its bare
interior thoroughly In the hope that
there might be something which previ-
GUS investigators had overlooked. This
box, six inches high and foot long.
or more, could not have been here
then. 1t was standing now in the most
conspicuous place in the room-in the
very middle OF the bunk.

from his ankle stopped him. he
dropped back again. His father moved
quickly forward, too. but checked him
SELF the surprise in his face giving
way to curiosity. At a general thing.
Jeanne Fielding knew what she was
about.
Philip Cayley took the dart and
threw It far out into the water.
There was one more surprise in
store for the two Fanshaws. When

landing Of the accommodation ladder.

more now, not even sit here beside

He held himself rigidly until till she
had disappeared round the end of the
deckhouse. Then he bent over and
buried his face in his hands!
What the thing was that reused him
to his present surroundings he never
knew. He was conscious of no sound,
but suddenly he sat erect and stared
about him In amazement. 1t had grown
quite dark. 1t must be two or three
hours since Jeanne had left the chair
beside him and announced that she
was going to take a little walk.
He spoke her name, not loudly at
first, for he thought she must be close
by. But the infinite silent spaces
seemed to absorb the sound of his
voice. There was no sign that any
sentient thing, except his very self.
had heard the words ne uttered. Then
he called louder.
The steps were rather difficult to
negotiate. but by using both hands
to supplement his one good foot, he
succeeded in creeping down them, and
then in making his way along the cor
ridor to the girls door.
He knocked family at first; then
louder. and finally cried out her name
again. this time in genuine alarm. He
tried the door. found that 1t was not
locked. and opening it and switching
on a light, perceived that the state
room was empty.
He heard footsteps crossing the
deck overhead. No. that could not be
Jeanne; 1t was heavy tread. a curl
Gus, shutting tread.
He closed the door behind him.
Then he linped slowly down the cor
ridor toward the foot of the compan-
ionway. The heavy tread was already
descending the stairs.
He turned the corner, stopped short
and gasped. And that was all. There
was no time even for a cry. He had
caught one glimpse of monstrous

hairy-faced like a gorilla.
And then. the man or beast had,
with beastlike Quickness, lifted his
arm and struck. And Tom Fanshaw
dropped down at his feet, senseless.

CHAPTER VII.
The Rosewood Box.

On the girl, Tom Fanshaw's passion
ate, stormy avowal had the effect of
sort of moral earthquake. 1t left
the ground beneath her feet suddenly
unstable and treacherous: it threaten
ed to bring down about her ears the
whole structure of her life. The very
thing she had relied upon for shelter
and security against outside troubles
and dangers. was, on the instant.
fraught with greater danger than
any of them.
For the first few moments after his
avowal she had felt no emotion other
than that of establishment and in
credulity. Even when he asked her
If she could not marry him. anyway.
though the question revolted her. she
told the truth in saying that she was
not angry.
The anger came later, but 1t burned
into fame that was all the hotter
for it's tardiness in kindling. 1t must
have an outlet somewhere. and as
such, the promenade up and down the
other side OF the deck was altogether
INSULT cient.
The sight of n small boat at the
foot OF the accommodation ladder
seemed to offer something better. So,
pulling on a pair of fur gauntlets. she
dropped into 1t, cast off the painter.

She made a little gesture of i'm
