ASPIRATIONS.


Roscoe did not pause to investigate
the effect of his blow, nor to waste a
second one. II the man who had con-
fronted him there in the companion
way was dead, SO much the better. II
he were only ~half-dead, the Job could
be finished at any time. He was out
Of the way for the present at least.
Roscoe hurried on, searching state
rooms and passageways and finally
the crews quarters, forward.
When he had satihed himself that
he and his men were in undisputed
possession Of the yacht, he emerged
on deck again by the forward hatch
way, and found Captain Planck al
ready there. He directed him to 60
below with Schwartz, who had been
engineer aboard the whaler, and get
steam UP as promptly as possible. He
himself remained on deck, directing
the unloading and stowage of those
precious golden slabs that the rest
of the party were bring out in boats
from the shore.

WHY. YES, SHE GOT THE NOTE
Beautiful Roses Appreciated, but
There Was a "FIy in the
Ointment"

A young man whose gallantry is in
excess of his means sought to remedy
this defect and to save the expense
of the money required for the pur-
chase of flowers for his lady loves by
arranging with a gardener to let him
have a bouquet from time to time, in
return for his cast-off clothes. So it
happened that one day he received a
bunch of beautiful roses, which he at
once dispatched to her house. In
sure anticipation of a friendly well
come he called on the young woman
that evening. He got a frosty recep-
ton.
"Did-er-did you get my flowers
today?' he was finally forced to ask.
Yes, and the note that '1ent with
them"
Mote? Why, did l send a note?"
"You did. A d~isgraceful note,
scrawled with a blunt pencil, on dirty
paper. Here it is. l don't understand
it, and l don't think you are very
humorous"
The note read as follows;
Here's your flowers, but you owe
me a pair Of pants for 'em."-Cleve-
land Plain Dealer.

throw It OF, he clustered, stormed at
and abused them for a pack Of liars
But in the end he sprang down into
one of the boats, and said he would
fetch the box himself. Whether he
believed their story, or not, 1t was
the only thing for him to do.
AS he pulled shoreward he tried
hard to convince himself that he did
not believe It; that Rose and Carlson
had probably forgotten all about the
box, and had trumped up the story to
avoid the necessity Of going back for
1t.
He beached his boat, scrambled
ashore and set out walking doggedly
along in the direction of the hut. The
fog was still all but impenetrable, even
to his practised vision, but he knew
the shore like the palm Of his hand,
and he trudged on without a pause,
until he was within ten PAGES, per-
haps, of his destination.
But there he faltered and stopped.
turned about, under an irresistible i'm
pulse of fear, and would have fed
had not sheer necessity compelled
him to stop again. There was a light
a diffused yellow glow, faint but I'M
mistakale, shining out Of the windows
Of the hut.
He knew he could not go back to
the Aurora without that box; it was
necessary both to his future safety and
! his present command Of the situation
His one hold upon those sullen follow
ers of his depended upon his being i'm
pervious alike to terror and to defeat
If he were to go back now without
accomplishing his purpose, 1t would
only be a question Of days before they
murdered him. They all hated him,
enough for that, he knew.
Yet, even under that necessity, 1t
was three or four minutes before, at
the command of his burly will, he be-
gan creeping forward on hands and
knees toward the lighted window OF
the hut.
And when he reached a point where
he could command its interior, his
knees slipped out from under him and
he lay prone upon the icy beach, his
face buried in his outstretched arms.
For those two sailors had told the
truth.
Presently he drew himself up and
squatted back on his launches, star
ing. Human or not, the figure there
In the hut seemed unaware Of his
presence. 1t was staring at the ex
piring flame of the candle in profound
abstraction. When it stirred, as pres
emily it did, 1t vas with a natural
human motion. And then the candle
} went out.
In the few seconds of silence which
followed, his terror returned upol
him with full force. But 1t wen
. away as suddenly as 1t had come, ant
s with its recession there surged up Il
him a wave Of british anger. 1t wa

CHAPTER vII.-contlnued.

The sight Of 1t might well have
caused establishment or alarm in the
girls mind. But 1t was neither alarm
nor establishment that her next act
expressed. She dropped down on her
knees beside the rude wooden bunk,
drew the chest up close in the tight
embrace Of her young arms, laid her
cheek against the cold polished sur
face Of its blackened wood, and cried.
Every question that might have
asked itself-how the thing could
have come there, and what its coming
might pretend to herself or to the
other of the Aurora's .people-was
swept away In a sudden rush Of flial
affection and regret which the sight
of it instantly awoke. 1t had reached
her with that sudden poignant stab
of memory which inanimate objects,
familiar by long association, seem to
be more potent to call up than the
very persons Of the friends with whom
they are associated. The sight of her
father himself could hardly have had
so instantaneous and overwhelming
an effect upon her as the sight Of this
old chest, which was n Of the earli-
est of her associations with him.
1t had always ste D until he had
taken 1t with him on that last voyage
of his, upon a certain farther corner
of his desk in the old library. 1t was
one Of those objects Of a class that
children always love-smooth, pol
fshed, beautiful; beautiful and, at the
same time, defying curiosity.
1t was quite a masterpiece Of cabi-
net work. No hinges were visible,
and the cover fitted SO closely upon
che box inself that the line which
separated them was hard to discover
And there was no trace Of keyhole OF
lock. To those uninitiated into its
secret, it defied any attempt to
open II.
Presently she seated herself or the
bunk, took the little chest on hel
knees and set about opening 1t. BE
tween the cold and her excitement she
found this rather a difficult thing tc

A conscientious, Woodworking and
successful clergyman writes: Il am
glad to bear testimony to the pleasure
and increased measure of efficiency
and health that have come to me from
adopting Grape-Nuts food as n OF
my articles of diet.
"For several years I was much dis
tressed during the early part OF each

seemed to turn sou and failed to d.
gest. After dinner the headache and
other symptoms following the break

however, next morning.

suit was surprising in improved health
and total absence of the distress that
had, for so long a time, followed the
morning meal.
my digestion became once more
satisfactory, the headaches ceased, and
the old feeling Of energy returned.
Since that time | have always had
Grape-Nuts food on my breakfast

Il am convinced that Grape-Nuts
food produced this result and helped

the very morning when Roscoe had
murdered him. Its discovery would
go a long way toward bridging the
gap which Roscoe meant to leave in
their departing trail. In short, If that
rosewood box were left behind, Ros-
o would always feel that he was in
more or less danger of detection. And
he didn't mean to have a thing like
that hanging " him.
Consequently, when he discovered
that the box was not on board, and
that his particular injunctions on
corning 1t had been either neglected
or disobeyed, he came raging up on
deck again, a most formidable figure,
which caused his companions, harden
ed ruffians though they were, to cover
and shrink away from him.
In a torrent of furious blasphemy,
he demanded to know why that box
had not been brought aboard; and the
concentrated lees of his rage he
emptied at last upon the two men
whom he had ordered to do 1t.
Now" he concluded, when the tor
rent had spent itself. you go ashore,
you two. Yes, you, Carlson-I meal
you-and you, Rose; go ashore now
and get it."
Then, after a momentary silence,
he ragged out the command again,
amid a foul food of abuse.
But still they made no nov to
obey, and the big Swede, in evident
terror. answered him. II won't get
it, Roscoe. If you want that box, you
a get 1t yourself"
What in hell do you mean?' the
leader stormed. But his voice, even
as he spoke, lost It's confident tang of
authority.

ding to his companion, Rose. Evident
ly 1t was Rose who had told the story
to the other members of the party. He
was a squatly built man with a stub
born jaw, and Planck, in the days OF
his command, had always disliked him
as that most undesirable pest that can
be found in a forecastle-a sea law
yer.
What did you leave the box in the
hut for?" he demanded. He might
not have come back IL you had left
it in the cave"
Come back!" echoed Roscoe, with
a growl.
That's what I said. We went tx
the hut to get it, and there was {
light inside, and there he sat, just like
he used to. And he had the boz
