numerous bruises on my body, and

my head touching the upper deck, as
I undertook to survey my surround

be occupied, the figures Of the sleeping

The fellows sent down from the
main chains to the boat brought the
injured captain up first. This required
the services of three men, his body
hanging limp between them, his up
turned face showing CHASTITY in the
flaming of the torch thrust out over
the rail. To every appearance it was
| apparently a corpse they handled, ex-

groan to which the white lips gave ut

| slipped, wrenching the wounded body
with sharp pang of pain. Once safe

to the after cabin and disappeared
down the steps.
Estada had already swung himself
up into the chains, while Anderson
and Mendez were lifting the girl to
her feet, and rather roughly urging
her forward. Her eyes reflected all
the unutterab1e horror which for the
moment dominated her mind, while
her loosened hair, disarranged by
struggle, only served to intensity the
pallor of her face.

watching the movements below, and
her slender form Strengthened as by
the acquisition of new strength.

A moment and she had attained the

not have funds to buy that requisite
for membership. To enroll in a gar
den club as the first step toward en-
tering the calf club may seem unusual,
but that was what the Klfckitat county
boy did, and he reached the desired
goal. The weeds in his club garden

tables were prize winners. He exhibit
ed a collection of them at the state
fair and took $50 worth of prizes.
Meanwhile he had been writing to
Jersey breeders for prices and descrip-
tions of calves. He decided on Jer-
seys because that was the breed his
father had. With $40 of his garden
prize money he bought month-old
Jersey heifer calf in October. He kept
her in the barn all winter, but In the
spring she was turned out on the
range. When brought In In September

LeVere shouted an order, and a sud
den flare was lighted amidships, the
circle Of flame Illuminating a part OF
the deck, and spreading out over the
wild expanse of water. Scarcely had
a minute elapsed before 1t came sweep
ing into the radius of light-at first q
dim, spectral shadow, scarcely to be
recognized; then, almost as suddenly,
revealed in all it's details-a boat of
