but because l could not escape from

all were gone. l was too late. Sahib.
the tale is told"
No word came from Wallen. For
long time he sat immovable-while a
cloud obscured the moon, and the
riding lights of the vessel cleaned and
twinkled brighter in the greater dark
ness, and until the moonlight strug-
gled forth again in 4 silver, waving
path-until there came little splash
in the distance as though fish had
jumped.
Then Wallen raised his head.
At the sound Gunga too had stirred,
for now he dipped his oars and rowed
on toward the Monleigh. And then he
spoke again:
Wash your hands, sahib," he said
in low tones, "for they are red"
At the gangway Gunga sent the boat
adrift with a push toward the Mon
leigh's stern; and Wallen, with the
other behind him, mounted to the boat
deck. There was no one on the bridge;
and if there was an Hnchor-watch at
all, the man was asleep, for they had
come alongside unnoticed.
In the doorway of the captains cabin
Wallen halted, with Gunga beside him.
There were empty glasses on the lock-
er and an empty bottle. Captain Layn-
ton fully dressed, was snoring in his
bunk. He sat up with start at Wal
lens second knock.
"Hello!' he blinked. "Oh, you, Mr..
Wallen! And"-he blinked again at

The East Indian salaamed gravely
and profoundly-and stepped respect
fully back out onto the deck, away
from the cabin.
Captain Laynton stared mt Wallen.
Then lie rubbed his eyes and stared
again.

look as though you'd been in baIly

CHAPTER VII.
The Wireless Message.

Wallen stretched out his arms In a
sort of glad relief as he came on deck
next morning. He had breakfasted
late and alone, because he had slept
late-but he had slept well, once he
had got to bed.
For the time being, if he wished
and he did wish it-he could be care
free and laugh with pure happiness.
Drink-House Sam no longer lived be-
fore him day and night, threaten
ing, sinister; the ship Itself, with the
Kanaka gone, was purged Of its men
ace; and he knew all now-and the
knowledge, concrete, definite, tangible,
robbed the peril that still existed Of
that sense Of impotent dread, which is
the attribute Of the mysterious and the
unknown.
How cIoudless and blne the sky was !;
and the fresh, clean breeze filled the
lungs as with a magical elixir! Life
was good
He had paused just outside the
lounging room, and now crackle from
the wireless house caught his ear. That
accounted for no sight Of her upon the
deck!
Good morning, Miss MacKay" he
sung out cheerily as he hurried for
ward. Found some one to gossip
with this morning? I"
He was standing IN the doorway Of
the wireless room now, and the words
died on his lips. Brown eyes. staring
out from very white face-brOwn
eyes that seemed to hold a shudder of
contempt and loathing-met his-and
she turned away her heaG.

VILLAHASOWN
Way TO JUSTICE
Takes Supplies From
Merchants With Larg-
est Profits

SAN ANTONIO, Tex, Aug. 49,,
The whimsical caprices of Francisco
Villa which have ranged from practi-
cal jokes to violent outbursts, Mad an
odd climax at the little town of ,Sa-
binas, Coahuila, when Villa concluded
the terms of surrender to the De la
Huerta provisional government of
Mexico.
After closing the Sabinas brewery
and all saloons, Villa dispatched four
auditors" to audit the books of all
the larger mercantile establishments
of the town and report to him the
names of those men whose books
showed the most profit made during
the past II months. This being ac-
complished he requisitioned on these
stores for shoes, hats, breeches, un-
derwear, socks, shirts, forage, horse
shoes, leather, pack mules and horses
Later Villa told General Martinez
with whom he concluded terms for
surrender that he did not expect the
provisional government to pay for
these goods as "the people he had
taken clothing and provisions from
were able to lose it on account of the
large profits made during the past
year" All of the materials seized
were issued Immediately to Villas
command.

Accommodations, Sal
walton Army Reports

CHICAGO, Aug. 1S-Demqnd for
private rooms with sunshine and hot
and -old cunning water, has sup
planted that for "dime flop" among
the wayfaring working man accord
ing to the observations of the Sal
walton Army.
Lieu enant Colonel Einll Marcus
sen, read of the Industrial Depart
ment of the Army for the states west
of the Mississippi, said today:
"The day of the dormitory, or,
more accurately, the "flop house" has
passed. The kind of men who used to
come to us, seeking free beds or glad
to get them for dime. now ask for
private rooms. Since prohibition be-
came effective, | have closed several
of our working mems hotels includ-
ing one in Chicago and another in
Kansas City.
''There is a real need for good,
modern hotels for men at reasonable
prices and those which we have are
run along such lines. Our Working
Mems Palace in Chicago has ST. beds
Three wears ago, we would have found
ten or twelve men in the palace with
bank accounts. Last month, there
were 312 men in that hotel who car
ried bank books.
GAS for the Industrial homes, they
used to contain many young men who
ceased to be producers and who had
to be made over, sometimes by long
and painstaking process, into good
citizens and wage earners. Today
there is. hardly an able-bodied man
in any industrial home in the United
States.
"The men who are there are near
" all permanently disabled to some
degree, or they are convalescents
from hospitals who are unable to do
an ordinary days work. These men
are not only able to take care of
themselves but even to save a little
from their earnings.
"There is room in every industrial
home. The Chicago home is not half
full. That is why the Salvation Army
is able this year, through its home
service program, to extend an offer
of the facilities of these homes to
every small community in the West. 4"
