CHAPTER XIV.
In Clasp Of tho Sea.

The sounds of voices and of NOV
ing bodies were plainly discernible,
but the darkness was too dense below
to permit the eye perceiving what was
taking place. The rattle of steel told
me some among them had reached the
arm rack. There followed the crash
Of wood as though the butt of gun
had splintered door panel. Then a
voice pierced the babel. My mind
grlpped the meaning Of 1t all; they
had found leader; they had released
Manuel Estevan. Now the real fight
was on! could hear the fellow Ques-
tion those about him, seeking to learn
the situation.
"Who have cutlasses7 So many a
dozen form with me. Now DULLES,

is the only way to the deck. Now then

We met them, point to point. our ad-
vantage the narrow staircase and the
higher position; theirs the faint glim-
mer Of light at our backs. The first
rush was reckless and deadly, the in
furiated devils not yet realizing what
they faced, but counting on force Of
numbers to crush our defense. Man
uel led them yelling encouragement,
and sweeping his cutlass, gripped with
both hands, in desperate effort to
break through. DeLasser caught its
point with his blade while my cleaver
missing him with Its sharp edge new

hurled him back into the arms Of the
man behind. saw nothing else in de-
tall, the faint light barely revealing in
distinct figures and CLEAN of steel. 1t
was pandemonium Of blows and
yells. strange faces appearing and dis
appearing, as men leaped desperately
at US up the steps, and we beat them
remorselessly back. / saw nothing
more Of Manuel In the fray, but his
shrill voice urged on his fellows. 1t

answered by blaze Of light revealing
the silhouette of a man, engaged in
touching flame to torch Of hemp. 1t
flung forth dull yellow flare, and re-
vealed scene of horror. Our assail-
ants were massed halfway back. Be-
tween us, even ten feet from the
stairs. the deck was Uttered with
bodies, CHASTITY faces staring up, with
black stains Of blood everywhere. 1t
was Manuels hand which had kindled
the light. and the first croak Of his
voice told his purpose.
"Now you skulking cowards," he
yelled pointing forward, do you see
what you are fghting' There are only
five men between you and the deck.
To hell with 'em! Come on! I'll show
you the way!"
He leaped forward; but 1t was his
last step. l sent the cleayer hurtling
through the air. l know not how 1t
struck him, but he went down, his

eye could perceive nothing. Even the
noise ceased, but hand gripped my

devils plunging blindly forward toward

hold them for time at least, yet
had the sense to know that this check
would prove only temporary. They
out-numbered us ten to one, and would
arm themselves from the rack. Yet
the greater danger lay in the possible
disloyalty Of my own men. A dozen Of

The apple leafhopper causes serious
injury to apple nursery stock by ex-
tracing the plant juices from the
terminal leaves. AS consequence
the leaves gradually become under
sized and fail to function normally,
thereby retarding the growth of the
trees. The rose leafhopper feeds on
the lower leaves and produces white
or yellow spots on them.

Says His Prescription
Has Powerful Influence
Over Rheumatism

MI. James II. Allen suffered for
years with rheumatism. Many times
this terrible disease left him HELPLESS
and unable to work.
He finally decided, after years ;of
ceaseless study, that no one can be
free from rheumatism until the ac-
cumulated impurities, commonly
called uric acid deposits, were dis
solved in the joints and muscles and
expelled from the body.
With this idea in mind he consult
ed physicians. made experiments and
finally compounded prescription
that quickly and completely banished
every sign and symptom of rheuma-
tism from his system.
He freely gave his discovery to
others who took it, with what might
be called marvellous success. After
years of urging he decided to let suf-
ferers everywhere know about his dis
covery thru the newspapers. Chas.
Stepan has been appointed agent for
Allenrhu In this vicinity with the UNI
derstanding that he will freely re-.
turn the purchase money on the first
two bottles to all who state they re-
ceiyed no benefit.
