herself that ! did actually breathe, and
her fingers felt for the beat of pulse at
my wrist. It was the coma of sheer ex-
haustion. The bull-like roar of a
startled voice forward awoke me. I
caught no word, only the sound, but
there was a note to it like the violence
Of a blow. I sat up, staring about, the
entire scene within the range Of vision
photographing itself upon my brain.
The ocean heaved in long green bill
lows, crested with foam, the boat ris-
ing and falling as steadily as a rock
ing chair; the sun no longer beat down
upon us from a cloudless Sky, but ap-
peared as a fiery red disk through a
cloud Of vapor, which swept along the
surface Of the water %obscuring the cir
Gle of horizon. Liverpool stood erect
in the boats bow, holding himself firm
by gripping the inverted oar, his free
hand followed to make a trumpet of
his voice. Every other face was turned
forward, yet for an instant, the flap
ping shirts, i%mprovised for sails, pre-
vented my seeing the cause of excite
ment. Then Leayord, with an oath,
jammed down his helm, and the dinghy
swept to port, mounting a wave crest
like a bird in flight, and there burst
out directly ahead the sharp Prov of
a two-masted schooner, bearing
straight down toward us, sailing before
the wind.
"Ahoy there! Ahoyw yelled Red and
Olson, almost in one voice. "Port your
helm! Curse you, port your helm!"
1t was almost like a vision, that YES

the white foam circling from her sharp
%cut-water, her spars and ropes sill
houetted against the gray fog, her
main sheets reefed, but with topsails
bellying to the sharp breeze, vet with
not a sign of human life visible.
"Put your helm down, Leayordl
Hard down, man." I sobbed. "She'll be
into us in a minute! Ay! that's bet

Olson were both battling, and my eyes
took note Of several charred spots
along the gunwale showing the touch

seemed to comprehend all that I was
most eager to learn.

TODAY's BEAUTY HELP

We find you can bring out the
beauty of your hair to its very best
advantage by washing it with Can
throx. It makes very simple, in
expensive shampoo, which cleanses
the hair and scalp thoroughly of
all the dandruff, dirt and excess
oil, leaving a wonderfully clean,
wholesome feeling. After its use,
you will find that the hair dries
quickly and evenly, Is never
streaked in appearance and is al
ways bright, soft and fluffy; so
fluffy, in fact. that 1t looks more
abundant than it Is, and so soft
that arranging 1t becomes pleas
ure. Just use a teaspoonful of
Canthrox, which you can get from
any good druggist, dissolve it in
a cup Of hot water; this makes a
full cup Of shampoo liquid, enough
so It is easy to apply it to all the hair
instead Of just the top Of the head.
