1t is an established fact that a small
dose of Rheuma taken once a day has
driven the pain and agony from thou
sands of racked, crippled and despair

years.
Powerful yet harmless; quick act

blessed relief almost at once. The
magic name has reached nearly every
hamlet in the land and there is hardly
druggist anywhere who cannot tell
you of almost marvellous cures.

. Select My Officers.

The die was cast. However the
strange adventure might eventually
end, whatever peril lurked ahead of US,
1t was now too late for regret. The
full responsibility I had assumed al
most overwhelmed me as l first
emerged upon deck, but there came to
me also a spirit of recklessness, which
brought laugh to my lips and shrug
to my shoulders. Why should l care? !?
1t was her choice, not mine. A moment
I fingered at the port rail, staring out
into the smother o. the coming dusk,
wondering how it would all end, before
climbed the lndder to the poop deck.
The negro was at the wheel, while
Masters stood aft gazing astern. He
was not aware Of my presence until
spoke sharply.
'Mr. Masters"
"Aye, aye, SIR"
"I have agreed to take command Of
the vessel for the remainder of the voy-
age" said quietly, "and would have
word with the crew."

rious damage, and there are surely
seamen on board to serve as watch off,

few days. Now they are In for a spell
Of work."
I was not altogether pleased with
the engineers manner. vague suspi-
cIon coming into my mind that he also
rather preferred a return to Baltimore,
and that the crew might desire the
same decision. As / went forward to
the rail I noticed that both Vera and
Bascom had come up as far as the
head Of the companion. and now stood
there in the shadow, where they could
both see and hear. McCann, however,
did not appear, and was probably
asleep below, or still doctoring his dis
colored optic. had Just a moment to
observe these things before the men
began to appear aft the mainmast, and
form in straggly line across the deck.
They were indeed rough-looking lot,
even for a frelghter's crew, plainly
showing the effects of prolonged de-
bauches ashore, with several among
them still manifestly under the influ-
ence of liquor. The re-establlshment
of sea discipline on board was evil
