lost consciousness even to her pres- ence.
 She told me later that lay there motionless for two hours, so still, so softly breathing, as to almost frighten her. Twice she leaned close to assure 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 awolxe me. I caught no word, only the sound, but there was 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 heayed in long green bill lows, crested with foam, the boat ris- ing and falling as steadily as rock ing chair; the sun no longer beat down upon us from cloudless sky, but ap- peared as fiery red disk through a cloud of vapor, which swept along the surface of the water obscuring the cir cle 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 fiap- ping shirts, improvised for sails, pre- vented, my seeing the cause of excite ment. Then Leayord, with an oath, damned down his helm, and the dinghy swept to port, mounting a wave crest like bird in flight, and there burst out directly ahead the sharp prov of two-masted schooner, bearing straight down toward us, sailing before the wind.
 "Ahoy there Ahoyi' yelled Red and Olson, almost in one voice. "Port your helm! Curse you, port your helm!'' It was almost like vision, that yes l sel-a grim, menacing specter, leaping straight on toward us out of the mist, 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, yet with not sign of human life visible
 Put your helm down, Leayord Hard down, man." sobbed. "She'll be into us in minute! Ayi that's bet ter; stand by, forward. If there Is any

GOOD ROADS ]
IMPORTANCE OF WAGON ROAD
One Drawback to Fall of Rain Is That Roads Are Made Impossible
 for Several Days.

But foi one fact, all of us could re- joice in this rain, meaning as much as it does to the growing crops. The one drawback is the unfortunate fact that the rain will make the roads al- most impossible for several days. But the rain is not to blame for this state of affairs. We are. We ought to have roads on which the only effect of rain would be to wash them clean-just as it does with the city payements. And it's not for the joy-riders alone that we need such roads, says Wichita Eagle. If we had good roads, farmers, eho can't work in their fields after q eain, could do their hauling on such days. Now the rain that prevents working the fields prevents hauling to market, except light loads, and at prohibitive cost. The wagon haul of agricultural products is inGnitesimal in distance, as compared with the rail and water haul, yet it costs actually more, according to government sta- tistics. For the benefit of the farmer we need good roads.

CHAPTER xxxI.
A Death Ship.

It was Gods miracle that we lived and kept afioat; that we were not sucked under, or crushed into drift wood. To this day know not what occurred, or how we held upright. There was a crash, erunching sound, a mad plunging of the tortured boat under us. My hands gripped vainly at the steel sides slipping past-then sud- denly the wild race ended with a jerk, with a leap of the boat through a surge of water drenching us to the skin, and we struck the schooner's side blow which, it seemed to me must crush every plank into atoms. I held Vera to me ready for the end, but Leayord yelled wildly:
 "That's it Red make fast there 1! make fast Lively now, before we go down. The mizzen chains, Olson! Up you go, my lad-by heaven! he made it!"
 was on my feet now, understand ing 1t all, realizing the value of each second, knowing that the shattered boat must be sinking under us. also got grip on the chains, and the three of us held on desperately, Red hauling the single rope end taut, and looping it about the thwart.
 "Here, Olson: reach your arms down; take the woman first-there's no time to wait for help. Now, Vera quick, girl; the boat is sinking under us.'
 She stepped onto my shoulders, grasped the chains to steady herself :; then gripped Olson's hand, sprang up- ward, and was drawn safely in. I turned to the others.
 Make fast, Red. There is nothing more to be done but get out One at time now; here, White, you're crip- pied, go first-hoist him up, Masters; now ease in there, Olson-good enough. You're next, Masters"

MAINTAIN ROADS WITH DRAG
No Better or Cheaper Way of Keeping Highways in Good Order Than
 by Using Implement.

Road dragging is so simple an under taking, providing the road to be drag ged is first graded drained and shaped properly, that summary of it's bene- fits cannot be presented too often, writes George B. Harrison Tn Farmers Mail and Breeze. Anyone can make a drag and even boy can keep a piece of road in good shape with the proper instruction at the beginning. A To- inch or 12-inch log between 8 and 9 feet long or two 8 by 12 blanks with 2 by 6 reinforcing strips of the same length, four cross sticks, a chain, boards for the platform and metal wearing strip are certainly procurable anywhere.
 The theory in. road dragging which has proved practicable for road iTn- provement is to smooth and shape up the puddled earth of road to All the ruts and holes and force the water off the roadway. "Puddled" earth on q road is the wet earth which has been worked up by traffic so that 1t Is dense and when compacted will not let the water seep away. If this compacting is done without any direction ruts and holes appear and hold the water and make bad road. But if the puddled earth be spread smoothly over the sur face of the road with somewhat of a rounded effect it dries firm and hard,

TrYinu to Do Their Eff.

While nearly every woman is trying to do her bit in some way, there are at least a hundred thousand other fair ones who believe they can serve their country by breaking into the movies, notes New York critic. That is why every motion-picture office is crowded with applicants and why motion-pic- ture managers are busy men these days of frantic filmdom. It requires much patience, nerve and sometimes a set of burglars tools to enable would-be actress to reach manager, however, but an overdressed woman of rather ripe years gushed her way past the array of office boys and clerks into the sanctum of the man who hires and fires. q wish to become a movie ac- tress," she announced. q feel that I have within me the makings of great impersonator of the silent drama.' Have you ever had any experience, madam?" asked the manager. Miss, if you please" simpered the applicant. No, I haven't any experience. My face is my fortune" Well. you need not worry about tine income tax, if that's the case" grunted the manager. Don't slam the door.

tensity of Struggle-McCann fighting desperately to escape; Bascom exer- cising all the mad strength of insanity to retain hold of his victim. If either uttered a sound, I heard it not. It was like a horrid picture projected from out the smoke cloud, and as instantly fading. I saw the mems faces, eX- ultant hatred in one, unspeakable ter TOT in the other; witnessed the strain of muscle, the awful effort to rend apart arms and limbs. 1t was vision of hell, yet almost before I could thus vision it, the two figures were engulfed in sea of flame; where they went into the seething ealdron, or over the rail into the depths of ocean, can never tell. They were there, struggling like fiends, a horror unspeakable in a frame of smoke and fire; then that curtain of death and fire dropped and they were no more.
 may have jumped; may have re- leased my hold upon the backstay, and fallen. The deck blanks were hot to my feet, and serpents of flame crept along the seams as though reaching for me with tongues of fire. I staggered back with hands held before my eyes, half blinded with the glare, still seeing, in crazed memory that awful spectacle of death and horror. From far below a cry reached my ears-a weman's agonized cry shrieking upward through the crackle and roar of flames until it even penetrated my brain, and brought me life again:
 Robert! Robert! Come to mel''
 I turned, and gripped the rail. With one swing I was over it, my body hurtling through the air, down into the black sea. As I came back to the sur

CHAPTER xxx.
A Day in the Boat.

I turned, my fingers yet gripping the rail. Before then had had no time to think, to appreciate the full terror of our situation, to realize the horror of the spectacle. In that last instant this burst upon me in all it's vivid horror. Between the two matches the deck was a sheet of flames; already the canvas of the lower yards had caught, and was blazing fercely. TAe red writhing ser pents, famed by the wind, were sweep ing aft in pillows, tipped with black smoke, dense and suffocating. All about us the glare of dancing fire, the swirl of shadowy smoke clouds; the air was hot. almost blistering. saw nothing of McCann.
 ''He isn't in the boat?"
 s'No, sir.''
 yes, I'm coming"
 They must have unlocked the falls at my first word, for the boat sank just as swung to the rail. This, and a sight suddenly revealed against the front of the cabin, held me there, clinging to stay, struck motionless with horror. heard Vera cry out from below:
 "Robert-Robert! Don't wait jump!"
 But the words seemed to have no meaning, no power to impress me; for an instant the sight beheld paralyzed my brain. The lashed wheel still held the ship to the wind, and the clouds of smoke belched aft, becoming so dense could not see across the deck to the port rail. I knew not where they came from, nor how they had met in that last death grapple. All I know Is. that suddenly, both bodies wrapped in flame, and half shrouded in wrea ths of smoke, the glare of fire on their faces. every muscle strnining in the in
