If hard usage and obstacles could

shen Jimmy Hambleton had been free
Of his passion for the Face. His
Plunge overheard had been followed
by joyous swim, lusty call to the
yacht for Help" and growing
amazement when he realized that it
was the yachts intention to pass him
by. He had swum valiantly, deter
mined to get picked up by that par
ticular craft, when suddenly his
strength failed. He remembered
thinking that 1t was all up with him,
and then he lost consciousness.
When he awoke he was on hard
hunk in a dim place, and sailor was
Jerking him about. His throat burned
with a fiery liquid. Then he felt the
Slunging and rising Of the boat, and
came to life sufficiently to utter the
stereotyped words, where am II"
In Jims case the question did not
imply the confused cropping back to
sense that 1t usually indicates, but
rather an actual desire to know
whether or not he was on board the
Jeanne DArc. Plainly his wits had
rot been badly shattered by his ex-
perience overheard. But the sailor
who was attending him with such min
Rtrations as he understood, answered
him with a sample of French which
Vim had never met with in his school
books. and he was not enlightened fol
some hours.

To Jim's ears, every syllable the
Frenchman spoke was an insult, and
words reEindled the fire in his blood.
"You shall pay for that speech here
and now!" he yelled; and, discardins
his revolver, he dealt the Frenchman
a short-arm blow. Chatelard, trying
to dodge, tripped over the base of the
ladder and went down heavily on the
floor of the fo'cas'le. He had appar.
emily lost consciousness.
AS Jim saw his victim stretched ON
the ioor, he turned away with loath-
ing. He picked up his revolver and
went up the ladder. st was already
dark. and confusion reigned on deck.
But through the clamor, Jim made out
something near the truth; the Jeanne
D'Arc was leaking badly, and no time
was to be lost If she, with her pas
sengers and crew, were to be saved.

MARKEN IS QUAINT!
Strange Island Community Th9l
Is Found in Holland.
Sturdy, Vigorous and Happy People
Who Spend Their Lives In Peace
and OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES OF
Their Domestic Manners.

Marker, Holland.-Marken, too
small and unimportant to be found on
many maps, Is a quaint community OF
about 1000 people, who live on IL
small islands in the Zuyder Zee.'
These small, sandy knobs are con-
nected by narrow brick foot bridges
and protected by bikes. Red-roofedJI
gabled houses made Of wood, and
tarred, or ornamented by paint in red
and gren stripes, are built on piles
During spring freshets the inhabitants
are sometimes obliged to remain on
the upper floors, or drown. Stairs
are unknown, SO the ascent Is made
by ladders. After the annual spring
bath the uneven little streets look
fresher and brighter than ever and
the place is a real spotless town.
Only the newer houses have chin
neys. In the older ones the smoke
from constant peat fires must escape
through a small. square "smoke-hole''
in the roof. The chimney place Is,
faced with tiles-usually blue-andi
the hearth is black thing rubbed to-
a polish. Everywhere there is gleam-
ing brass and copper and the whole
house shines. Personally, the people
are also very neat; but, strange to say,
large, fat-looking feas are plentiful
more plentiful than our mosquitoes!
The kitchen, usually the living room
as well, is the largest in the house.
From the beams overhead hang hams.
strings Of drying fish, wine jugs and
native delicacies. At the windows are
green shutters and lace. curtains. The
floors are made Of wide planks, highly
vanished to a dark brown. Chairs
have rush bottoms and Stat backs.
Well-scoured candlesticks are numer-

carved cabinet filed with rare treas
ures that would gladden. the heart Of
connoisseur. Each man has a
treasure chest" of his own, which Isl
kept securely locked, and the contents,
often remain a mystery to his wife
and family.
Not far from the big chimney are
the beds-and such beds! They are
built in the wall, on decided slant
the head being much higher than the
foot! There is feather mattress,
coarse linen sheets, quilts and last.
but not least, always thick cover
stuffed with feathers until it re-
