BloodI There had been murder committed on board, and the fellow had struck down was seeking refuge, endeavoring to find conceal ment following his crime. Ay, but what about the light in the cabin? II had been extinguished after the flee ing fugitive had entered Dorothy's stateroom. Did this mean that the slayer had an accomplice? If so, then the killing was not the result of q mere personal quarrel amidshipS, oi in the forecastle, but the result ol some conspiracy. I thought of San chez, and of EstGGa's plan to obtPiT control of the ship. Could this be iti continuation? And was the Spaniarl already lying dead in his cabin?
 Nothing came of my thought-only confusion; nor did l dare investigate for fear of becoming more deeply in. volved in the tragedy. No, there was nothing to be done; my safety, and the safety of the girl depended on our apparent ignorance of what had oc cured.

 We parted with clasp of hands, az opened the stateroom door and slipped out into the cabin. To my sur prise the light over the table had been extinguished, rendering the cabin so black I had to actually feel my way forward. The lantern must have been put out since then by some confed- crate. After a moment of hesitation I found my way across to my own stateroom and pressed open the door

 The dawn came cold and gray but with clearing skies. I climbed into the main crosstrees and swept the horizon with glass.

 The slowness with which he groped his way forward indicated unfamiliar ity with the apartment, although his direct advance proclaimed some spe- cfal purpose. Clearly he had no fear of attack.

All could grasp was the fact that the fellow was not the Por- tuguese-he possessed a smooth face, long hair, and was a much smaller man. I dragged the body where the light illumination from the after port fell directly on the upturned face. The features revealed were unfamiliar those unquestionably of a half-breed Indian. Dorothy crossed to my side, her foot striking a knife, which came glimmering' into the narrow range of light. She stared in horror at the ugly weapon, and then at the ghastly countenance.

II Has Happened Before.

AS his relatives and friends are
aware George Wharton Pepper is
nonsmoker.
Not long ago Mr.. Pepper was about
to entertain some distinguished guests
whom he delighted to honor.
His first move in the direction OF
their entertainment was to procure
and send to the house some particu-
larry choice Havana cigars, which
"set him back" to the tune OF 5O
cents each. But it seems the cigars
arrived before it was made known at
home that the guests were expected. 3
That evening Mrs. Pepper said to
her husband: "Some cigars came for
YOU today-evidently gift from some
one. Knowing you didn't smoke, 1
gave them to men who were working
in the hOuse."-Philadelp Ledger.

There is no way to dodge the hlgn

It out. Meat was too expensive. So
we would quit eating meat.
Therefore we ordered cabbage and
