nv. "Mr. Hazeltine, run back to
the station and git another set of

Without answering, the young
IMAM sprang up the beach and ran
Howard the buildings. The moment
that he was inside, Captain Fri
5loaped into the dory.

Captain Perez attempted ia
obey. He waded into the water
and gave the dory q push, but,
I3ust as he was about to scramble
In. he received a shove that sent
him backwards.
II "Your Jobs takin' care OF

the window.

Captain Jerry Joined her at the
window.
Its Abner Mayo's horse" HI
said. maybe it's Perez comm

1t was not Captain Perez but
Mr.. Mayo himself. Mrs. Snow open
ed the door for him.
Hello, Abner!" exclaimed Cap
tain Jerry, as the newcomer
stopped to knock the snow from
his boots before coming in, what
have you done to Perez? Coin t,
keep him for a steady boarder?"
But Mr.. Mayo had important
news to communicate.
"Cap'n Burgess" he said, GIVE
got somethin' to tell you-some-
thin awful. The whole life-savin
crew but one is drowned, and
Cap'n Fri Hedge"
An exclamation from Mrs. Snow
interrupted him. The housekeepel
clasped her hands together tightly
and sank into a chair. She was
very white. Elsie ran to her.
What is 1t, Mrs. Snow 4" she
asked.
'Nothin', nothin'i Go on, Mr.
Mayo. Go on!"
The bearer of ill-tidings pro-
ceeded deliberately:
"And Cap'n Hedge and Luther
Davis are over at the station pref
ty nigh dead. II it want for the
Cap'n, Luther'd have gone, too
Fri took a dory and went off and
picked him up. Perez come over to
my house and told us about 1t, and
Pash's gone back with him to see
her brother. / didn't go down to
the store this mornin'. twas

Mrs. Snow rose to her fee,
quietly, but with a determined air
Are You goin' right back

Mayor" she asked,
why, no. I want. I amt been
to my store this mornin', and I'm
'fraid I ought to be there"
Then you'll have to harness

wait another minute"
why, Mrs. Snowi" expostulat-
ed Captain Jerry, you mustn't 60
down there. The Doctors goin'
and I'll go. and Pashy's there al
ready"
But the housekeeper merely
waved him aside. She set about
ready with a vim and at
tention to detail that proved that
her "fidgets" had not affected her
common-sense. She was pale and
her hands trembled a little, but
she took covered basket and
packed In 1t cloth for bandages, Q
hot-water bottle, mustard, a bottle
of liniment. and numerous other
things likely to be of use.
Ralph and Captain Perez were
surprised men when the house
keeper. dripping, but cheerful, ap-
peared on the scene. Mrs. Snow
took charge at once OF the tired
men, and the overtaxed Miss
Patience was glad enough to have
her do 1t. Luther Davis was in
bed. and Captain Fri, dressed in a
suiting belonging to the command
ant, was stretched upon a sofa in
the front roor.
The Captain was the most sur
prised of all when Mrs. Snow ap-
peared. He fairly gasped when
she first entered the room, and
seemed to be struck speech1ess,
for he said scarcely a word while
she dosed him with hot drinks,
rubbed his shoulder - the bone

waist, pulled him from his hold.
Davis fell into the bottom of the
dory, only half conscious and en-
tirely helpless
Captain Fri lifted him SO that
his head and shoulders rested on
a thwart. and then, setting his oar
against the lifeboat's side, pushed
the dory clear. Then he began
rowing again.
Little by little, still running be-
fore the wind, the Captain edged
in toward the shore. Luther Davis
moved once or twice, but said
nothing. His oilskins were frozen
stiff and his beard was a lump OF
ice. Captain Fri began to fear
that he might die from cold and
exhaustion before the attempt at
landing was made. The Captain
resolved to wait no longer, but to
take the risk of running directly
for the beach.
''Lutherl" he yelled, "Lute!"
Captain Davis, head rolled back
his eyes opened, and, in dazed
way, he looked at the figure swing
ing back and forth with the oars
"Lute!" shouted Captain Fri
Listen to mel I'm goin' to try ia
land. D'you hear me?"
The half-frozen man made q
plucky effort.
"All right, Err" he said. "I'm
with you, but l amt much good
The dory was caught by the first
of the great waves, and. on Its
crest, went flying toward the
beach. 1t poised on the curling
wave, went down like q hammer
struck the sand and was buried
in water. Just as 1t struck, Cap
tain Fri jumped as far shoreward
as he could. Davis sprang with
him, but 1t was really the Cap
tain's strength that carried them
clear of the rail.
They kept their feet for an IN
slant but, in that instant, Captain
Fri dragged his friend yard OF
two up the shelving beach. Then
they were knocked flat by the next
wave. Three times this perform
ance was repeated, and, as they
rose for the fourth time, the Cap
tain roared, "Now!"
Another plunge, q splashing run
and they we're on the hard sand
of the beach. Then they both
tumbled on their faces and
breathed in great gasps.
But the Captain realized that
this would not do, for, in their
soaked condition, freezing to death
was a matter Of but short time.
He seized Davis by the shoulder
and shook him again and again.
Come on, Lutte! Come ont" he
insisted. cit upl You've got to
git up!"
And, after a while. the life-sav-
er did get up. although he could
scarcely stand. Then, with the
Captains arm around his waist.
they started slowly up the beach
toward the station.
They had gone but little way
when they were met by Ralph
Hazeltine and Captain Perez.
.
Mrs. Snow had been, for her,
rather nervous all that forenoon.
Once she even went so far as to
tell Elsie that she felt kind of
queer; jest as If somethin' was
goin' to happen" AS the house
keeper was not the kind to be
troubled with presentiments, Elsie
was surprised.
Dinner was on the table at
twelve O'Clock, but Captain Fri
was not there 10 help eat 1t, and
they sat down without him. And
here again Mrs. Snow departed
from her regular habit, for she ate
little and was very quiet. She was
the first to hear an unusual sound

CHAPTER TX.
The Rescue

Captain Err knew that the
hardest and most dangerous por-
tion Of the perilous trip was Just
- its beginning. II the dory got
through the surf without capsiz-
ing. Il was an even bet that she
would stay right side up for a
while longer, at any rate. So he
pulled out of the little cove and
pointed the boats bow toward the
laundering smother Of white.
The dory climbed and ducked,
rolled and slid, but gained, inch by
Inch foot by foot. The advancing
waves struck savage blows at the
bow, the wind did its best to swing
her broadside on, but there was
10O pounds Of clear grit and mus
Gle tugging at the oars, and
though the muscles were not as
toung as they had been, there were
Pears of experience to make every
Bound count. At hast the prelim-
mary round was over. The boat
fprang clear of the breakers and
eropt out farther and farther.
TWAS not until she was far into
deep water that the Captain turn
~ her bow down the shore. Then,
Nth the gale astern and the tide
80 help, Captain Fri made the dory
80 as she or any other on that
coast had never gone before.
The Captain knew that the wind
and the tide that were now aiding
him were also sweeping the over
turned lifeboat along at rapid
rate.
The dory jumped from crest to
crest like a hurdler. In the lulls
ne turned his head and gazed over
the sea, looking for the boat. Once
he saw 1t. before the storm shut
down again, and he groaned aloud
70 count but two black dots on its
white surface.
At last It was in plain sight, and
the two dots, now clearly human
beings we're still there. He pointed
the bow straight at it and rowed
on. When he looked again there
WAS but one, figure sprawled
along the keel, clinging to the CEN
terboard.
4 The flying dory bore down upon
the lifeboat, and the Captain risk
ed what little breath he had in a
hail. The clinging figure raised
10 head, and Captain Fri felt an
almost selfish sense of relief to
see that 1t was Luther Davis. If
1t had to be but one, he would
rather 1t was that one.
Captain Fri shot the dory along
erside, pulled in one oar, and the
two boats fitted closely together.
Then Fri reached out and, selling

Sunshine Is an amazingly potent
germlcide for the farm housekeeper
and in the dairy and stables. The
practice of exposing cooking and 9TH
er utensils used In connection with
food to direct sunlight makes use OF
this fact, although comparatively few
appreciate exactly the work done by
the sun in this regard. Probably only
those who are acquainted with tests
which have actually been made real
ice how quickly sunshine kills disease
germs exposed TO II. Hence the fol-
lowing tests may be generally instruc-
tive and interesting, says the United
