NOT HIS TIME FOR REVENGE
tho Moment, but the Luck
Would Not Hold.

Aboard the great ship the silence OF
despair reigned. She had struck on
an uncharted reef, and, owing to the
heavy sea, the boats had either been
stove in against the ships side or
swamped in the attempt to lower. A
stalwart passenger stole up to the
captains side.
do you think, sir" he asked, "that
there is the slightest chance of our
being saved?"
Look here" said the skipper, in
tones Of disgust, chats the sixth time
you've asked me that question. Why,
you great lubberly brute, l believe
you're the biggest coward aboard"
Ssh! No, I'm not" protested the
burly one. 'But, look here. You see
that old duffer standing by the rail?
Well, he's my rich uncle, and all my
life I've had to put up with his cussed
cantankerousness. But If the ships
going down, and there's no hope, I'd
like time to give him one good. sound
kick to square the little account /
owe him!"
Just then a rescue ship appeared on
the scene and above the joyful shout
the raucous voice of the old man by
the rail was heard, commanding his
dutiful nephew to fetch his hot water
bottle from his water-logged state
Dom.

quite still for moments at time, ap-
parently gazing at the wonder of the
orchard, but suddenly he would dart
toward specific tree and make nu-
merous circuits about its base.
Joan began to fear for his sanity
and for her own safety. Certainly
his actions were not those of an
evenly balanced man. She felt rea-
sonably sure that neither an insane
nor a sane man would catch sight OF
her in her bower OF thick foliage, but
her heart beat rapidly.
''You never can TELL" she told her.
self "what any man iD likely to see. "
With considerable trepidation she
watched the man drawing gradually
nearer and nearer to her retreat.
Would he or would he not venture
within her grandmother's private or
chard? Joan felt reasonably sure now
that the trespassor was mentally un.
balanced.
Gle is coming I'M" Joan caught a
sharp breath and drew up into the
branches Of her tre9 He seemed to
catch sight of the great tree the
