heard once more. Evidently Clouts
was under instructions to remain at
his post.
Donald went back to his hammock
He shrugged his shoulders at the fu
tility of it all, his helplessness. He
had done all that he could do. And
now a sense of complete fatigue began
to overcome him. He could not keep
his tired eyelids apart.
Slowly, struggling desperately
against the imperative need of sleep,
he felt himself floating away.
He did not know how long he slept,
but it seemed a few minutes only
when cries pierced through the mists
of Inconsistencies. In an instant he
was upon his feet, cropping in intense
darkness. /
He could not discern from what
part of the boat the ominous sounds
proceeded. The whole interior of the
F55 was like sounding board. The
cries appeared to proceed from every
part of her. Donald had never heard
such cries save once, and then they
came from animal throats. That was
when his revenue cutter had surprised
a band of pirates at their bloody work
on the seal islands.
He heard Ida cry out in his cabin.
He cried to her in answer, and, leap
ing back, he plunged with all his
might against the panel, and again,
and yet again, until the woodwork
splintered.
The cry burst forth again, drown
ing the sounds of the oaths and scuf-
fling. 1t was cry Of a woman in
mortal fear. Donald drove the splin-
tered timbers before him through the
hole in the wall. He found the girl
where she lay beside his berth. He
raised her in his arms, and felt one
of the blubbery flippers on his hand.
That fight in the little room was al
ways a nightmare remembrance. The
yielding body offered Donald no pur-
chase. And the monster fought in si7
lence, apparently incapable of articu-
lation, and the stinging flippers sucked
the blood from his face and hands; ;
and, as he pried them away, the flesh
rose into welts beneath them.
They swayed and struggled, and
through the inky darkness Donald
could hear the sound Of similar battles,
the curses Of men, their agonizing
cries, the thudding falls of heavy
bodies.
But Donald could not lose with Ida's
life at stake. The monsters struggles
grew feebler. Donald flung it from

him, and heard it shuttle out Of the
room and into the darkness of the pas
sage. Then he knew that fear ruled
among these sea-beasts as upon land.
Suddenly Davies burst into the
cabin.
"Paget! I've come to you'll" he cried
Historically. "You spoke the truth,
sir, and thought you were mad! /
opened the matches, and they're all
over the ship, sir! I've come to die
with you'll"
Another man ran painting up to them.
It seemed strange afterward, when
Donald recalled it, how the three
seemed to be aware of each others
presence in the little cabin.
1t was Sam Clouts.
'They've got us, sir!' he cried. Il
fought to the end, but the rest are in
the sea, and I'm the only one left I've
locked the entrance to the coming
tower, but it's only a question of min
utes, sir!''
Donald co1ld hear the monsters
straining at the door. He felt sure
that the steel plating, thin as it was,
would yield; not to the sudden exercise
of any muscular force, but to the.
silent, steady pressure of the heavy
bodies. The door creaked and groaned
under the impact.
"Into the torpedo-room" gasped
Donald. Through the escape hatch
We must save Miss Kennedy" he
added.
He snatched up Ida and began
cropping toward the metallic sheathing
which admitted air from above into
the torpedo room.
II think I can get the tube apart,
sir" Clouts volunteered.
1t seemed an eternity before Donald
heard q section of the metal plate rat
tie upon the floor.
"Well have to jump, sir!" Clouts
painted. 'Pll go down first and catch
you. Pass along the lady when you
hear me CALL"

Save That Skirt That's Spotted.
If skirt is worn across the front, OF
if you have been unlucky about spot
ting it, panel and belt Of contrasting
materials will often make an old skirt
new, says a writer in the Woman's
Home Companion. When the skirt Is OF
plain material, the contrasting can be
n stripe, and will be specially smart
if the panel is cut crosswise. Plain ma
terials can be used where the skirt
material is fancy. In suit, collar and
cuffs of the contrast will make an at
tractive addition. Then, of course, II
you can match the materials, there is
always that possibility, though In
these days matching seems almost i'm
possible.

Many things are premeditated and
by several authorities in style, all act
Ing together, to create fashion. 9th
ers just happen when some original
and independent designer has an in
spiration and works it out without
regard to what other designers are
doing. Once presented good idea
is seized and made much of and this
is what has happened this season in
the ribbon-trimmed gowns. Some one
used wide br0caded ribbon in stun
ming matron-af-honor gown, aud wide
moire ribbUn to drape the net dress
of debutante, and set the ball roll
ing. Now afternoon as well as eve
ming dresses employ ribbons in their
clever makeup.
A beautiful afternoon dress in
which plain satin ribbon plays the
most important part, shows what a
good designer has done with this idea.
Over brown satin underdress a
bodice and tunic of brown crepe geor-
gette are trimmed with ribbon bands
and plaitings. The underdress is al
most entirely yelled by full panel of
crepe, gathered at the top, which hangs
to the bottom of the skirt where it Is
caught in pretty drapery. The tunic
Is not so long. 1t is finished at the
bottom with wide satin ribbon laid
IN plaits. At the top of the tunic an
other band of wide ribbon is plated
and between the top and bottom are
three bands of narrow ribbon applied
to the crepe. The plated band at the
top extends above the waistline and
parallel rows of Misunderstanding
form the definition of the waist and
narrow standing frill over the bodice.
The cuffs are managed in the same

There is no time to lose now If
Christmas boxes to the soldiers in
France are to have ctaLce to arrive
on time. They should all be ready for
the last of October. The Red Cross
will cooperate with individuals in get
ting Christmas gifts delivered at the
right time.
Boxes SHOULD not be large or heavy
and nothing that is periShable is to be
put in them. This does not exclude
candies or smokes" or other luxuries
that will not spoil. Probably the most
appreciated present from home will be
these things, along with lot Of kodak
pictures of the folks at home or an
illustrated letter, the longer the better.
Comic illustrations are the best of all.
Stationery makes a good gift and knit
ted garments-sox and more sox-
among them, insure comfort. The boys
want cheerful letters from home-they
are long way off and will just nat
urally be q little homesick occasion
ally.
The Red Cross suggests that Christ
mas bags be made of gay cretonnes or
of brown or blue denim or other heavy
cottons, with cutout figures appropri-
ate to the season applied to them,
such as Christmas trees, reindeers,
holly wreaths and candles. These can
be cut from, printed cottons or other
materials.
Besides the bags she made for her

sewed at the bottom of a placket, then
clamped with tackhammer will not
come unlocked and will bear the
strain without tearing the placket. A
piece of gum camphor put away with
the silver will keep it from furnishing.
An electric fan placed in front of
radiator will by it's motion set the
air circulating through the coils very
quickly.
The lower cellar stair as well as the
attic stair may be made with a hinge
and will make a fine receptacle for
various necessary things. Do not put
oil mops or polishing rags in such
tight place, as spontaneous combustion
may cause a serious fire.
A clothespin is a handy thing to
hold a hot dish while stirring on the
stove.
A clothespin bag with a clothes
hanger for top may be pushed along
on the line and is always ready to use.
A nutcracker may be used as a
wrench on small cans and bottles as
well as the nuts on sewing machines
and wringerS.
When using a patch on wall paper
tear the patch instead of cutting it; 1t
will be less noticeable.
An eggshell with a pricked hole In
it makes very good funnel in an
emergency. A piece of letter paper
rolled in the shape of Il funnel will also
serve nicely. Heavy wallpaper of a
light color may be covered with calso-
mine of any special tint at very little
expense.
A paper or wooden tub or bowl is
best to use for washing dishes, as they
are less apt to be nicked by striking
the sides.
A coat of white paint on the out
side of screen door will keep those
on the outside from looking in.

will make three glasses. Add the peel
