That would take maybe few hours

A voice within him seemed to keep
whispering: Rounds! You've got to
make rounds, make rounds" For two
days or nights, or whenever it was
since Johnson had first taken sick, he
had made rounds INCREASINGLY with the
medicines; that was why the medi-
cines were on the skylight, SO that he
wouldn't have to go below.
But making rounds was over now;
there was no one to make rounds for
there was only himself. Rounds
Make rounds; it's time to make

so. Last time he had gone along the

forward to where another awning was
stretched over the fore-deck. He kept
his eyes in front of him; there were
shapes about the deck covered with
anything that had first come to hand
shapes that should not have been there

been too weak to do anything but
throw coverings over them. He didn't

CHAPTER !.
The Last Round.

An oily sea! Stillness-absolute
stiffness, save for the groan and creak
Of the yards and booms, as the bark
rolled lifelessly on the long, simmer
ing swells. Not breath of air; only
a sitting heat that beat upon the decks
until the pitch in the seams dubbed.
Only waste of water that reflected
the merciless tropic glare of the sun
and hurt the eyes cruelty.
Under an awning in the stern a man
in cotton shirt and trousers, who was
huddled in chair by the cabin sky
light lifted his head and mumbled
through cracked lips.

four quinine-magnesia, peppermint

His hands fumbled with the drugs
from the ships medicine chest that
strewed the skylight, and guessing at
the quantities, carried portions to his
mouth. He swallowed with difficulty,
and relapsed into huddled position.
After a little he raised his head
once more, and began to count upon
his fingers. One, two, three, four, five
was it five or eight days, or ten, or
a month that the calm had lasted? He
did not know. He had lost all track
Of time. But it worried him, and to
his sick brain assumed very vital pro-
portions. The ships log would tell
him.
He reached for it and began to scan
the entries. 1t was strange that try
ing to read brought red flashes and
pain to his eyes.
The words came only to him in
snatches.

LOVE, ADVENTURE,
FIGHTING!

"The Impostor" is a story
of action-of love, adven-
ture and fighting. It's no
society novel. It's no detec-
tive yarn. It's no study of
the sex problem. It's no
preachment in disguise. It's
a red-blooded narrative OF
the sea, with an unusual
plot, just enough mystery to
keep the reader guessing
and the fascination of the
Orient-throWn in for good
measure.
The adventure comes
first, as it should. Then
comes the fighting. And in
the events leading up to the
finale Cupid takes command.
The Zero is American-and
worth while. The heroine is
AmeriCan-and IovabIe. The
pirate william is able, mys-
FERROUS and aggressive-and
when the hero evens up the
score you're glad of it.
And the story is we'll writ
ten. The word pictures are
graphic. You can get thrills in
every instaIIment. You'll be
eager to get hold of it and
you'll wish there was more.

THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE

French Tor centuries has been the court and diplomatic lam
guage OF Europe, 1t is nearly a perfect language. 1t has no
synonyms, There is a word to symbolic every idea, and no
other word will do. The French language is Of mean ancestry.
The Gauls had a barbarous dialect when. the Roman legions
came in, and the Roman legions who contributed to the French
language had a language that was not polite. These two dialects
fused and became one. Then the Franks crossed the Rhine and
their language was absorbed into the French, and out of these
three primitive forms of expression has emerged what we now
call the French language. This language has given us the best
literature extant. The English language had a poor start.
Three North German tribes overran England, and from their
dialects came the English language. The melting pot worked
slowly, and for long the English language was not fit for Hot
tentots or monkeys. As Emerson says, it soon became the great
river into which flowed tributaries from all nations and all lam
guages, and foreign words were received Hospitality and domes-
tcated, until now we have a language as CopiouS and flexible
and perfect as any language in the world has ever been, save
the classic Greek, And classic Greek became too perfect for
utlitarian purposes. Homenc Greek was romantic, Just as was
early English. When, in the course Of time, it became classic
different, but it is coming into its own. The English language
being made the language OF diplomacy is a great honor, and
also a great danger. Is our language becoming perfect or classic?
If so it will pass and give way to some sort OF a vulgate which
will better serve utiltarian purposes, 1t is gratifying to know
that it is attaining to such dignity. If English becomes the
language Of diplomacy it will also become the language Of com
merce. The one follows the other, or the latter follows the former,
The language OF commerce rules the world. CLASSIC language is
for scholars and thinkers, but not for doors and world COM
pelIers. The great Latin scholars wrote in Greek, The great
English2scholars, like Milton, Bacon and others, wrote in Latin.
English, after a struggle, came in later, and 1t has been continu-
ally undergoing metamorphoss. Ne boast Of the language OF
Shakespeare, but few people of the present day could UNDER
stand the language Of Shakespeare or his contemporaries. eur
language is the same, but different, SO different that it is a
foreign language, to US. Fortunately for us, we have III President
Wilson a master OF the English language as it is spoken in this
country, which is to exercise so powerful an influence on the
world and its future modes of thought and action, Who can
tell what our language will be two centuries hence: NOmen
alias quaere. Surely his name may not be found here,
