CHAPTER VII.
A Japanese at Large.

What was the girl doing out there
in mid-lake In the company of her
enemy? Orme had seen her enter the
house of her friends In Evanston; had
hidden her goodnight with the In
derstanding that she was to make no
further move in the game before the
coming morning. She must have left
the house soon after he walked away.
Had she known all the time where
the Japanese was? Had she hunted
him out to make terms with him? If
that were the case, her action indi-
Gated a new and unsupported distrust
of Orme himself. Her failure to call
for help when Orme and Porter came
up in their launch seemed to show
that her presence In the other boat
was voluntary. And yet Orme could
not believe that there was not some
simple explanation which she would
welcome the first chance to make. He
could not doubt her.
The immediate thing to do, how
ever, was to find out just what she de-
sired. SURPRISING his excitement,
he called out:
Grill"
AT the same time he turned the lam
tern SO that his own face was IL
Illuminated.
"Mr. Orme!" she cried. rising from
her seat. "You here?"

With an exclamation, orme seized
the steering-wheel and swung 1t over
to the right.

Presently they both saw a spot of

asked Orme in an undertone.
Yes, in that locker"
Orme stopped and lighted the lam
tern in the shelter of the locker.
Nov run up alongside" he said,
"and ask If they need help"
The outline of the disabled boat
now grew more distinct. Porter
swung around toward it and called:

After a moments wait, a voice re-
piled:

1t was a voice which Orme recog-
inzed as that Of the Japanese who
had been with Maku in the attack
at the Pere Marquette.
Cant do that" answered Porter.
'Tll take you in to Evanston"
mol" The tone was expostula-
tory. II go to Chicago. l fix engine

At this moment Orme raised his
lantern and directed its light into the
other boat. 1t shone into the blinking
eyes of the Japanese, standing by the
motor. 1t shone-
Great Heaven! Was he dreaming?
Orme could not believe his eyes. The
light revealed the face of the one
person he least expected to see-fort

end of the cockpit, was the grill

to Porter in an undertone.

asked.

sighed. Il made a bad mess of 1t,

Porter grinned a noncommittal grin
and devoted himself to the wheel.
They had saved the girl! In his
disappointment e the escape of the
Japanese Orme had forgotten, but
now he silently thanked God that Por-
The girl had not yet explained her
presence in the boat. In her own
good time she would tell him. But
she had been there under compulsion;
and Orme shuddered to think what
might have happened.
He stole a glance at her. She was
leaning back on the seat. Her eyes
were closed and her pose indicated
complete relaxation, though it was
evident from her breathing that she
was not asleep. Orme marveled at
her ability to push the ex
citement of the evening away and
snatch the brief chance Of rest.
When at last the launch ran up
under the end of a little breakwater
near the Davis street pier, she arose
quickly and sprang out Of the boat
without help. Then she turned, as
Orme stepped up beside her, and
spoke to Porter. IF you and Mr..
Orme had not come after me-" she
said, there's no telling whether ]
should ever have got back. l should
like to shake hands with you," she
added; and bending down, she held
out her firm white hand.
Then Orme laid his hand on the
life savers shoulder. you've done

said.
Porter laughed embarrassedly. "l

Il know why he went out SO far"
remarked Porter. "He is running
without lights"
THAT in itself is suspicious, isn't
it?' Orme asked.
why, yes, ! suppose so-though
people aren't always as careful as
they might be. Our own lights aren't
lighted, you see"
"Have you any clue at all as to
where she Isl"
"Only from the direction the
sounds came from just before the ex-
plosions stopped. She had Roadway
enough to slide some distance after
that, and I'm allowing for it-and for
the currents. With the lake as it is,
she would be carried in a little"
For nearly half an hour they contin-
ued straight out toward mid-lake.
Orme noticed that there was a slight
swell. The lights Of Evanston were
NOW mere twinkling distant points,
far away over the dark void Of the
waters.
Porter shut off the power. I'VE
must be pretty near her" he said.
They listened intently.
Perhaps / steered too far south"
said Porter at last.
He threw on the power, and sent
the boat northward in slow, wide
circles. The distant steamship had
made progress toward the northeast
bound, perhaps. for Muskegon, or
some other port on the Michigan
shore. She was a passenger steam
or, apparently, for lines of portfolios
and deck-windows were marked by
dots Of light. There was NJ other
sign of human presence to be seen on
the lake, and Orme's glance ex-
pectantly wandered to her lights now
and then.
At last, while he was looking at It,
after a fruitless search Of the dark
ness. ne was startled by a strange
phenomenon. The lights Of the
steamer suddenly disappeared. An
instant later they shone out again.

There he had spent n summer vaca-
ton Of his college life. 1t was ten
years past, but this pose, the rope in
his hand, flashed it Oack to him,
Now they were almost on the Japa-
nese. For the moment he seemed to
waver. He glanced at the approach
ing launch, and reached uncertainty
for the boat hook. Yet it did not
seem to occur to him to yield.
And then, as for the hundredth time
he laid his hands on the motor, he
uttered a cry. 1t was plain to Orme
that the cause of the supposed break
down had been discovered. But was
there time for the Japanese to get
away? 1t was doubtful. He opened
the feed pipe and let the gasoline
again flow In. The launch was now
SO near that Orme could almost have
leaped the gap, but the Japanese bent
his energy to the heavy fly wheel, tug
ging at it hurriedly.
The motor started. The boat began
to move.
Even now it looked as though the
collision could not be prevented, but
the Japanese, selling the steering
wheel, turned the boat so quickly to
%starboard that the stern fell away
from the bow of the approaching
launch. There was no crash, no hard
bump; merely a glancing blow SO
slight that in that calm water it
scarcely made the boats careen.
Then Orme threw his moose. The
distance was less than ten feet, and
the loop spread, quick and true, over
the head of the Japanese. But, swift
though the action was, the Japanese
had an instant to prepare himself.
His right arm shot up. AS Orme, jerk
ing at the rope, tried to tighten the
moose, the hand of the Japanese push
ed it oYer his head and it slid over
the side into the water. In a few
seconds the swift boat had disap-
peared in the night.
Tightening his lips grimly, Orme
drew the wet rope in and mechanical
ly coiled it. There was nothing to
say. He had failed. So good an op
portunity to GOV the papers would
hardly return.
Silently he turned back to the 9th
ers. Porter had swung the launch
around and was heading toward the
distant lights of Evanston. The CIR,
was peering in the direction whence
came the sound of the receding boat
Thus, for some time they remained
silent.
At last the girl broke into a laugh
1t was a ripping, silvery laugh, ex
pressing an infectious appreciation o
the humor of their situation. Ormt
chuckled in spite of himself. If sht
could laugh like that, he need not sta.
in the dumps. And yet in his mint
ranked the sense of failure. He hal
made a poor showing before her-an'

THE SECRET OF SUCCESS

it is that so many products that are ex-
tensively advertised, all at once drop
out Of sight and are soon forgotten
The reason is plain-the article did not
fulfil the promises Of the manufacturer.
This applies more particularly to a
medicine. A medicinal preparation that
has real curative value almost sells it.
self, as like an endless chain system the
remedy is recommended by those who
have been cured, to those who are in
need of it.
In an interview on the subject a
prominent local druggist says, Take
for example Dr. Kilmer's Swamp Root,
preparation have sold for many
years and never hesitate to recommend,
for in almost every case it shows i'm
mediate results, as many of my custo-
mers testify. No other kidney remedy
that I know Of has so large sale. !,
The success of DR.. Kilmer's Swamp
Root is due to the fact that it fulils
every wish in overcoming kidney, liver

Sharks As Food,

Recent investigation has revealed
the fact that the common shark forms
no inconsiderable item in the food of
fisher folk along the shores of the
North Sea. The consumption last
year amounted to nearly a million
pounds weight.
The fish naturally does not come to
market under it's proper name, but is
first smoked or picked in strips and
in this form is sold as sea eel. The
sharks are captured as they pursue
herring or mackerel shoals or lie in
wait for ray and plaice along the
coasts.
Another coarse and condemned fish,
the pike, Is also eaten in large guam
titles under the name green bones. so
called because of the intense arseni-
cal green color the pixies bones take
on when cooked On the shores OF
the Baltic the devilish is marketed
under the high-sounding designation
sturgeon trout.

One Of the reasons formerly urged
against the existence of living crea-
lures In the abysses of the ocean was
the supposed absence of oxygen there.
1t was deemed impossible that any
considerable quantity of oxygen could
exist at great depths. But discov-
cries of recent date. have shown that
there is no lack of oxygen even at the
greatest depths. This explanation is
that the cold water Of the polar re-
gions, charged with the oxygen from
the atmosphere, creeps along the bot
tom toward the equator from both poles
and thus carries supply of oxygen
over the whole vast floor of the oceans.
The surface water moves toward the
poles, and SO great system of circu-
lation exists. Were it not for this
world circulation, one authority as
sures us, it is altogether probable that
the ocean would in time become too
foul to sustain animal life, at least
