A certain old farmer would never
do any work of any kind on Sun
day, relates London Answers.
But one Saturday night rain fell in
torrents, and when Sunday morning
dawned the river was in flood and
threatening to wash everything away
unless some very hard work with pick
and shovel was undertaken at once.
The old man was in quandary, but
he saw bankruptcy looming very near.
Suddenly bright idea struck him.

"And then what happensY"


1--WE will take to the boats, and
leave you and your officers to do what
you please with the ship"
"Are all the crew with you in tbs
mutlnous deal2"
The eyes of the two men met, and
Liverpool blurted out:
They'll all do what we say; there's
none ov 'em yer kin count on fer ter
fight on your side; but maybe there's
a couple we won't hav' no use for when
we take to the boats"
"Who are they?"
"Thar's no need o. my tellin' yer
that"
"Well, even with those two this will
only give us six able-bodled men; that
is not enough with which to bring the
Indian Chief into port"
"It will be all you'll have, anyhow"
said McCann grimly. "And you are
mighty lucky at that. The drift will
be southwark, and will take you direct
ly into the steamer lane. All you
need do Is keep steerage way, and wait
until you are picked up. You don't
imagine we want you sailing into the
harbor at st. Johns the same time
we get there, do you? Come on now
stop this talk, and give us an answer"
For long moment stood motion
less, staring out through the open port
at the sunlit waters. 1t seemed to me
my best course was to at least pretend
to yield to their wishes. To acquiesce
would insure me a measure Of free
dom on board, an opportunity to learn
the exact conditions, and might enable
me to save the ship from destruction.
AS to McCann, he had some object in
all this far more important than ap-
peared on the surface. He was never
assuming this risk, or investing all
this money In an illegal cause, without
a more serious purpose than an idle
desire to return to New York. He
was taking tremendous chance, drlv-
en- by some impulse could not COM
prehend. What was the secret--hate,
revenge, greed, love? I would find
out sometime; but now I could only
grope in the dark, guessing at his mo-
tives. Yet I knew this-his promises
were lies. He would make use Of me;
he would induce me to pilot the ship
to the spot he desired to attain on the
broad bosom Of the ocean, and then
what? The man would never be fool
enough to permit the Indian Chief to
sail into any harbor to accuse him Of

,BERTY LOAN

The United States is :.ae richc..t.
strongest country in the world, and
it is not asking anybody. not even its
own citizens to give it money.
1t wants to BORROW your money.
1t will pay it back with good interest.
There does not exist in the entire
world n security SO safe as United
States Government Bonds.
For thifty-eight years the United
States has never issued bond at a
higher interest rate than four per
cent. The last issue above four per
cent was in 1879.
Four per cent bonds of the govern
ment in ordinary times have sold at
ia to l19 .
A one thousand dollar Isl ,OOO)
bond of the United States government
could be sold through these thirty
eight years at anywhere from one
thousand one hundred forty dollars
(s114O) to one thousand one hundred
ainety dollars sl190).
That's the kind of country the
United States is.
There is only one thing in the world
better than actual gold or gold certif-
icates and that is the United States
Government Bond.
If you have the gold or the paper
money hidden away, it brings you in
nothing.
If you have per cent bonds running
twenty five years, the interest you will
get in that time will be equal to the
full amount of the bonds. And you
still have the bonds that the govern
ment will pay Off at full face value in
gold.
No state, city. county or even the
government itself can tax you on these
bonds unless you own more than
$50 worth.
But if you own bonds, and you need
moEey, you do not have to wait twen-
ty-five years. Any bank will buy them
from you or loan on them virtually
to the full amount. The interest cou-
pons that are attached to the bonds
can be taken off as the interest peri
odically be,omas due, and any bank
or the postmaster in any town will
pay them in cash.
