CHAPTER XIII.
The Prisoners Escape.


The two men followed me silently as
far as the companion, where we
paused moment staring blindly about
us into the fog. Even the guard at
the main hatch was invisible.
"Carter, guard this after deck until
Watkins and come back. Under no
circumstances permit LeVere to enter
the cabiD."
With the door closed, we were
plunged into a darkness which rem
dered the interior invisible. I Won
dered dimly why the man on guard
had not lighted the swinging lantern.
1 stumbled over something o. the
deck, as CROPPED forward, but did not
pause until / had lighted the lantern.
1t blazed up brightly enough, its yell
low flame Illuminating the cabin and
the first thing / saw was the out
stretched figure of the sailor almost
between my feet. We needed to ask
no questions, imagine nothing-the
overturned chair, the stricken sailor
told the whole story. He had been
treacherously stuck from behind, the
blade driven home Dy a. strong hand,
and was dead before he fell to the
deck. 1t had been silent, vengeful
murder, and the assassin had left no
trace. Who could it have been? Not
Gunsaules surely-the steward lacked
both nerve and strength for such q

Tub Hats, Too!

One of the advantages of the fabric
hat. whether it is intended for the
junior or the grownup, is that it may
be so fashioned that it can be taken
entirely apart and the covering washed
or dry cleaned. A fine wire frame
forms the foundation for the hat. 1t
is covered with georgette cut in per-
fectly circular form and gathered in
to form the crown. The edge may be
finished with hemstitching or picoting,
or with fine narrow lace. The wire
frame, of course, is concealed by a
covering of this net in color to match
the hat proper, or in white if the hat
is made of a light cOlored material.

wise to carry large number of recipes
or proportions of ingredients In ones
mind, but the efficient woman will have
card index, notebook or chart on
which she notes the possibilities of va
rious small amounts Of materials
which in other homes are thrown out,
left to spoil or are used earelessly IN
foods so that their charm of flavor Is
lost
The pleasant thing about this system
is that it is always growing, new
dishes will occur to one and the list
will grow. Then when going to the
ice chest and finding bowl of chicken
broth, visions of all the savory dishes
which may be seasoned with that sa-
worry food will be realized in some good
dish, as it takes but moment to turn
to the recipe.
Another helpful convenience of the
card catalogue idea is to have the sys-
TEN carried out in other ways in the
household. Under linens put cards
labeled ''bed linen." on the card num-
bers of sheets, pillowslips, size and
where Cnoy are. 1lllS rs HUI OuiJ q
convenience when absent to pass ON,
but in case of fire loss to give cor
rect inventory.
Attached to the medicine closet
should be card always where it can
be found at once, especially where
there are many little people, giving
first aids in case Of accident and an
tidotes for common poisons. The old
err children should be taught how to
use this knowledge, as often lives are
lost because nobody knew what to 10
quickly. 1t is frequently noted fact
that the people who know what to do
or where to go to find out, rarely take
time to go into Mysteries in an emer-
gency; they are too busy doing things.
Start card catalogue house and see
what a pleasure it is to be method
ical. 1t is not necessary to have an
expensive filing cabinet.

need to do is to satisfy those men, I'll
attend to that now, and then see to
the proper securing of Sanchez. Re-
main here with LeVere while go for
ward, and watch that he does not at
tempt to go below"
The fellows had not finished mess,
but I felt the danger of further delay,
and talked to them as they sat on
deck, explaining briefly the entire situ-
alton, and the causes leading up to the
mutiny. / dealt with the matter in
plain terms, making no apparent effort
to influence them, yet forcibly COM
polling each individual to realize what
would be the result Of our recapture.
They listened earnestly, asking an oc-
casional question. and passing COM
ments back and forth freely among
| themselves.
I sent Watkins to the cabin for a
roll Of charts, and spreading these out,
endeavored as well as could, to make
clear our probable position and the
nearest point of land. When. I had
completed the explanation, and stood
before them awaiting decision, it was
Haines who acted as their spokesman.
"This yere is Cape Howarth?" he
asked, a grimy thumb on the point in

What 'er yer say, mates? Shall we

We're just shipwrecked crew. What

There was chorus Of approval suf-
ficient in volume to satisfy me, and
accepted this as decision.

lures, are soluble in alcohol, methy-
lated spirits will often remove the
stains from clothes and other utensils.
When stains, contain silver compounds
Ito this class belong paints for warts,
the throat and nose), any white fab
ric on which little compound has
been split acts like piece of sensi-
tized paper, and at once darkens on
exposure to the light. An effective
method is to soak the stain for some
time in tincture of iodine, then treat
with strong solution of hyposulphate
of soda; strong ammonia will then
complete the process. Medicine stains
very often yield to alcohol These
stains frequently leave terrible disfig-
uring discolorations on table bed linen,
and not uncommonly also result in iron
mold. They should be spread with
paste made of pulyerized fuller's earth
and spirits of hartshorn, allowing the
application to dry upon the stain, and
finally washing out in cold water. If
necessary, the treatment may then be
repeated, but one trial is generally suf-
fieient.
To remove medicine stains from
spoons, rub first with a soft rag dip
ped in sulphuric acid. wash with soap
suds and polish with chamois skin.

Mends Granite Ware.

The government suggests we econo-
mize on kitchen utensils. To mend a
hole in granite ware work piece
of putty until perfectly soft, then take
piece of the putty large enough to
cover the hole and put one piece on
either side Of the metal, pressing to-
gether inside and out, smoothing down
the edges. Place the vessel in a slow
oven and bake until the putty is a
deep brown. For containing water the
vessel will be as good as new.

To Wash a Whife Sweater.

Dissolve one level tablespoonful of
borax and one-fourth of cake of
white soap in cold water to cover the
sweater generously. Let soak an hour,
then squeeze it out, but do not wiring.
Rinse very thoroughly through sew
eral cold waters, then squeeze as dry
as possible (or put through the wiring
cry, pull it into shape and dry it. All
wool fiannels and blankets are safely
washed thus.
When drawing thread from linen
rub white soap on the cloth and the
work will be much more easily accom-
plished. When making eyelet en-
broidery, if a piece of white soap is
held under the material and the stiletto
is allowed to pass into it much bet
ter eyelet can be made, as the soap
gives slight stiffness to the cloth.
Packing Blouse.
Much difficulty is often found in
packing blouses. If folded in the fol-
lowing way, they can lie. closely pack
ed, for long time without looking
crushed when taken out to wear. Lay
fiat on the table, front down, and fas-
ten. Then fold back the sleeves, and
