CHAPTER XII.
A Friend in the ForecastIe.

slowly opened my eyes to find my
self lying in an upper bunk of the fore
castle. Memory soon returned, stimu-
lated no doubt by the aching of my
body where Estada had so brutally
kicked me with his heavy boot. The
heavy rolling Of the bark clearly evil
denced that We were already at sea,
and bucking against high wind. 1t
was dark, dismal, smelly interior,
amply large enough, but i'll ventilated,
and inexpressibly dirty. l must have
been lying unconscious for several
hours. I rested back, feeling Of the
numerous bruises on my body, and
touching gingerly the dried blood
caked on my face. No very serious
damage seemed to have been done, al
though every muscle and tendon ap-
peared to be strained and lacerated.
Clinchlng my teeth to keep back a
groan, l succeeded in sitting upright,
my head touching the upper deck, as
undertook to survey my surround
ings. About half the hunks seemed to
be occupied, the figures of the sleeping
men barely discernible.
AS 1 sat there, staring about at this
scene there was stir within the up
per berth on my own level, and an up
lifted face appeared suddenly in the
yellow flare of light. 1t was mani
testify an English face at first glance,
rosy of cheek, with chestnut beard. A
pair of humorous, gray eyes surveyed
me silently, and then, apparently salts
fed by the scrutiny, the owner sat up
in the bunk, revealing powerful Shout
ders, and round, bull neck.
"Ahoy, mate" he said pleasantly,
endeavoring to speak low, the effort
resembling the growl of bear. "How
do you feel-pretty sore?"
"Ache from head to foot" I an
swered. Immediately feeling his friend
liness. "But no harm DONE"
II saw part of it. The damn black
brute kicked savagely enough, but at

style to use knife. I've seen that

though, and / never went back since.
My name is Tom Watkins. Let's shake:
there is quite sprinkling of us Brit
ishers aboard. and we ought to hang
together"
He put out a big, hairy fist, and l
gripped it heartily, decidedly liking
the man as his eyes frankly met mine.
He appeared honest and square, a fine
type of the English seaman.
'Tom Watkins, you said. May ask
If you We're out on the bow-sprit along
with Haines last night?"

Yes, we were there"

CHAPTER Xl-Continued.

LeVere shouted an order, and sud-
den flare was lighted amidships, the
circle of flame Illuminating part of
the deck, and spreading out over the
wild eXpanse of water. Scarcely had
minute elapsed before it came sweep
ing into the radius of light-at first n
dim, spectral shadow, scarcely to be
recognized; then, almost as suddenly,
revealed in all it's details-a boat of
size, flying toward us under a lug sail,
keeling well over, and topping the sea
swells like a bird on wing. LeVere
called for men to stand by, the fellows
In the fascination of the moment, /
failed to move could do nothing but
stare out across the intervening wa
ter, with eyes fastened on that swiftly
approaching boat. l must see, l must
know the message it brought; what
story it held of the tragedy. Manuel
held the tiller, with Estada seated be-
side him, leaning forward, and ges-
ticulating with one hand, as he direct
ed the course. / had never seen these
two, yet knew them beyond doubt.
Mendez and Anderson Cat least l sup
posed these to be the two) were poised
at the sail halyards, ready to let the
straining sheet down at run, while
Cochose crouched low in the bow, his
black hand uplifted, gripping coil Of
rope. Their faces were all turned for
ward, lighted by the flare from our
deck, and felt shudder of fear run
over memo expression on any coun-
tenance spoke Of defeat; even the ugly
features of the negro beamed with de-
light.
But was that all? Was that all?
Surely not. Forward Of the single
mast was slowed the chest, while in
the open space between the helmsman
and the two sailors were stretched two
motionless bodies. LeVere, gripping
stay-rope, and leaning well out, hailed
In Spanish.
"Ahoy. the boat! You can make it?'
"AyI" came back Estada's voice.
"Stand by to fend us off. Call all
hands, and break anchor as soon as we
are aboard"
every well, sir. Where is Captain
Sanchez"
Estada pointed downward In swift,
expressive gesture.
''Here at my feet-badly hurt but
will recover. Send two men down to
help when we make fast. Now, Co
chose-let go Of your rope; watch out
abovel"
l stood, gripping hard at the rail,
and staring down at the scene below,
as the men in the boat made fast. l
felt paralyzed, and helpless, unable to
move. l had no business to remain
there; every prospect of security de-
pended on my joining the crew. Yet
only one thought gripped me-Sanchez
was not dead! And that other body2
That of Dorothy Fairfax, without
doubt, yet certainly not lifeless. If
their prisoner was the girl-and who
else could it be?-she remained alive,
helplessly bound to prevent either
struggle, or cutlery, and destined to a
fate far worse than death.
My own life hung in the balance
nay, rather, my doom was already
sealed. There seemingly was but one
chance for escape left-that was to
drop silently overheard. God, no that
would be the craven act of a coward.
Better far to stay, and kill, or even be
killed, than to be forever cursed by
my own conscience.

her alone. men. Now, my beauty, I am
| taking you at your own word-a step,
| and then the protection of my hand.
We welcome you, as a guest aboard"
A moment and she had attained the
deck. Estada chose to continue play
ing the fool.
Thanks, senorita-thanks," he be-
gan softly, and again bowling before
her, cap in hand. 1--WE greet you with
| due honor aboard the Namur-"
Enough of that, you coward, you
murderer" she broke in coldly. "Do
not touch nor speak to me-"
She turned her back on him, thus
coming face to face with LeVere, who
stood enjoying the scene, wide grin
on his dark face, revealing a row of
white teeth under Il jet-black mus
tache.
You, sir-you are an oflicer?"
II have charge of the deck"
"Then where am l to go?"
The muatto, surprised by the sud-
den question, glanced inquiringly
toward Estada, who had already COM
pletely lost his sense of humor.
"Go" the latter growled. "Why
send the wench below. I'll see to her
later, and teach her who is the master
here. Off with her now, but be back
quickly" lie leaned out over the rail,
sending his gruff voice below. "Send
up that chest, you men. Hook on the
boat, Manuel, and let her drag; we
must get out of here in hurry. All
ready, Gloft"

The Delaware Indians made salt

from brine springs in New York state
and sold it to settlers as early as 1870,
making probably the first commercial
production of salt in this country The
manufacture of salt by white people
in the United States was begun near
Syracuse, NJ Y, about 1888. Salt is
the most commonly used mineral in
the world, and no useful mineral ex-
cept coal, perhaps, occurs in greater
abundance or is more widely distrib-
uted in the United States.

Bits of Charcoal.

Hens seem to obtain certain mineral
elements that they crave from wood or
coal ashes and it pays to burn refuse
and brush heaps near the poultry
range so that the birds can clean up
the ashes and bits of charcoal that re-
main after the fire.

A hen that is laying has an enlarged
abdomen, due to the enlarged intes-

deeper in the rear than at the front
of the keel. The condition is reversed
when hen stops laying. The pelvic
bones are well spread in the laying

The nonpartisan leader., 1919-09-01

FEW weeks ago a Min
nesota jury returned a
verdict Of guilty in the
case of the state against
T o W n ley and Gilbert,
two leaders of the Nom

partisan league, charged with conspir-
acy to teach doctrines of disloyalty.
The League, it may be explained, is a
farmers organization sufficiently pow
erful politically to carry North Dakota
at successive elections and to threaten
the dominance of the two old parties
in Minnesota, Montana, Nebraska and
Idaho.
The indictments against Townley
and Gilbert were returned under cir
cumstances that in themselves aroused
a great deal of bitter feeling and I'M
rest. In the first place, the men were
not arrested under the federal espion-
age law, specifically and drastically
framed to reach just such offenses, nor
was any federal official in the state
found willing to proceed against Gill
bert and Townley on the evidence COL
lected and presented. The. arrests
were made under an inadequate state
law that had to be stretched to cover
the alleged crime, and the trial was
delayed until year had passed.
Members of the Nonpartisan league
charged openly that the whole pro-
ceeding was part of the campaign of
persecution organized and carried on
by the Republican "machine," aided at
every point by certain leaders of the
Democratic machine" This feeling
was widespread and we'll known, and
it rose and grew at time of indus
trial unrest both in Minnesota and the
nation. How, then, did the authorities
in charge Of the case go about the
business of disproving these sinister
suspicious?
The nonpartisan leader., 1919-09-01
HOW CONVICTION OF
TOWNLEY WAS OBTAINED

1. By holding the trial in remote
county in small town virtually mac
cessible by any modern means of
travel.
2. BY trying the case before a Judge
who had recently admitted prejudice.
When it happened to be Townley and
Gilbert before the bar, however, the
eminent jurist decided that his preju-
dices had abated, and successfully re-
sisted the efforts of the defense to
oust him.
8. Although charged with making
speeches calculated to undermine 10y
atty, neither Gilbert or Townley was
permitted to introduce speeches call
ing upon people to support the war,
nor were they allowed to show their
various patriotic activities or to call
witnesses willing to testify to their
loyalty to the government and to the
war purposes Of America.
a. At the last, when Townley claim
ed his constitutional right to present
his own case to the jury, the judge re-
fused permission and the prisoner was
made to- keep silent.
And then there are those who smug-
ly wonder why it is that there is dis
content, anger, suspicion and unrest;
why it is that our courts are attacked
and the processes Of our law subjected
to the charge of discrimination and in
equality! The guilt or innocence of
Townley and Gilbert has ceased to be
of prime Importance in this matter. It
is the machinery of American justice
that is again on trial before the work.

Editor Nonpartisan Leader:
So it has come down to this: The
farmers are all right in their adher-
ence to the principles of the Nonpar-
tisan league; but their leadership is
wrong. Big business says it and big

Townley must go. If he remains at
the head, the movement will fail.
