They declared they were utterly I'M

each paying the cost accruing as a
result of the court action. This
brought about a strange state of al
fairs, and Judge Price, who looked
upon the situation with that mimi
table amused expression of good hui
NOR, and decided that the attorneys
in the case get the jury out of the
dilemma. This they did by deciding
to settle the case among themselves.
Sandlin, who is said to have had pos
session of property owned by John
son, is alleged to have signed a con-
tract leaving the property in as good
condition when he left it as when he
took possession. This, the plaintiff
declares, he failed to do, with the re-
suit that the matter which staggered
the jurors developed.

GOOD PROFIT IS
FOUND IN kELP
Besides the Commercial Potash
Many Valuable By-Products
Are Turned Out.
EXPERIMENTS ARE SUCCESS
Plant Established by Government In
California Demonstrates Profit
Can Be Made With Produc-
ton on Commercial Basis.

Washington.-Kelp, apparently, is
going to be a profitable source Of pot
ash, an important fertilizer Ingredient
that the United States formerly OBJ.
tanned almost wholly from Germany.
During the war Al experimental kelp-
potash plant was established by the
United States department of agricul-
ture at Summerland, Cal. Before the
second year of operation was COM
pleted 1t had been determined not only
that the plant could be made self-sus-
tanning on the basis Of potash alone,
at $3.50 a unit, but that a number of
valuable %by-products could be profit
ably obtained. The chief of the bu-
reau Of soils, which bureau operates
the enterprise, estimates that If the
plant turns out $500 worth of potas-
SUM chloride a day, it may at the
same time turn out $3.50 worth a day
Of the four principal by-products.
Many ey-Produets.
Among the by-products whose COM
mercial obtainability has been estab-
hshed r iodine, common salt, am
monia. and bleaching carbon. This
bleaching carbon. formerly imported
from Europe and sold for 20 cents a
pound. has been prepared and sold
from the Summerland plant at Is
cents a pound and appears at present
about able to pay the production cost
of itself and the potash, with good rea-
o to believe that 1t may ultimately
be made to pay the operating cost Of
the entire enterprise. 1t has been
definitely established by large-scale
operations that very little of the nitro
gen OF kelp is lost In the various proc
esses and that it can be commercially
recovered as ammonia, thus yielding
another important fertilizer element.
In this process enough combustible
gas is released greatly to reduce II
not to eliminate fuel consumption In
the plant. A tar Is likewise recovered,
and its subproducts. kelp oils and creo-
sote. have been shown to be Of value,
respectively. as ~flotation agents and
disinfectants. Still other valuable BY
products are likely to be recovered.
"The field broadens tremendously as
progress Is made" reports the chief
of the bureau Of soils.

We closed the companion door a.

small group awaiting my orders. The

sound from below. Satisfied that the

ears from the blackness below-the
hounds had found voice.
I ran through the fog in the direc-
ton the others had disappeared. and
had taken scarcely three steps when
l collided against the form of a man,
whose presence was not even noticed
until we came together. Yet he must
have been there %expectant and ready,
for a quick knife thrust slashed the
front of my Jacket, bringing a squirt Of
blood as the blade was jerked back.
Even as my fingers gripped the uplift-

knew also this was a fight to the death.

ed crew below could attain the deck.
1t was LeVere's life or mine, and in
the balance the fate of those others in
the waiting boat alongside. The knowl-
edge gave me the strength and the
~ferOcity Of a tiger. i ripped the knife
from his fingers, and we closed with
bare hands. his voice uttering one
croaking cry for help as 1 bore in on
his w~indpipe. He was a snake. a cat,
slipping out of my grasp as by some
magic. At last 1 had him against the
rail, the weight of us both SO hard

and we both went over. graphing IN

a stout fighter the lad was, welding
his cutlass viciously, SO that we held
them, with dead men littering every
step to the cabin deck.
But they were of a breed trained to
such fighting, and the lash of Manuel's
tongue drove them into mad reckless
ness. And there seemed no end of
them. sweeping up out of those black
shadows, with bearded or lean brown
savage faces, charging over the dead
bodies, hacking and gouging in vain
effort to break through. I struck until
my arms ached, until my head reeled,
scarcely conscious of physical action,
yet aware of Manuel's shouts.

For an instant l believed it true; l
saw Jim Carter seized and hurled side
ways. his cutlass clashing as 1t fell.
while a dozen hands dragged him
headlong into the ruck beneath. But
1t was only an instant. Before the
charging devils could pass me. a huge
figure filled the vacant space, and the
butt Of a gun crashed into the mass.

Submarine valley"
Found Off Mendocino

San Francisco.-The approx
mate location and shape of an
uncharted submarine valley,
which caused the wreck of the
steamer Bear with the loss Of
five lives in 1916. has been re-
ported by Captain Lukins of the
surveying vessel Wenonah of the
Coast and Geodetic Survey.
The axis of the valley Is Civ
en- as about ten miles to the
north and west of Cape Mendo-
elmo, Cal, and its head about
five miles off shore.
The unknown presence of this
formation is blamed for the
wreck of the steamer Bear,
whose captain was deceived by
soundings taken in it's vicinity
during a storm.

CHAPTER XIV.
Tho Open Boat.

l came back to q consciousness Of
pain, unable at once to realize where
I was, or feel any true sense of per-
sOnality. Then slowly l comprehend.
ed that I rested in a boat. tossed about
by a fairly heavy sea that 1t was
night and there were stars visible in
the sky overhead. I stared at these,
vacant Of thought. when a figure
seemed to lean over me, and l caught
the outline of a face, gazing eagerly
down into my own. Instantly memory
came back in u fash-this was not
death, but life; l was in a boat with
her. I could not move my hands. and
my voice was but a hOarse whisper.

"Yes-yes," swiftly. 1T is all right,

He must have been behind us at the

face turned away, but l reached out

In her motionless posture. Only as

attic improvement bonds, bought by a
son for an income for his mother, were
used by her to paper pantry shelves,
was disclosed when some of the mu-
tilated bonds were brought to the Of
fee Of City Treasurer f. l.. Terry to
see If they had any value. According
to the story told Accountant A. B.
Lund. the bonds are the property of
an elderly mi who has been liv-
Ing alone in Seattle several years. Dur.
ing a long illness five or six years ago
she is said to have suffered a tempo
a lapse Of memory. and when she
recovered apparently had forgotten
everything about the bonds and their
value.

answered by a blaze Of light. revealing
the silhouette of a man, engaged In
touching flame to a torch of hemp. It
flung forth a dull yellow flare, and re-
vealed a scene of horror. Our assail-
ants were massed halfway back. Be-

stairs, the deck was Uttered with
bodies, CHASTITY faces staring up. with
black stains Of blood everywhere. 1t
was Manuel's hand which had kindled
the light. and the first croak of his
voice told his purpose.
"Now you skulking towards" he
yelled pointing forward. do you see
what you are fghting3 There are only
five men between you and the deck.
To hell with 'em ! Come onl I'll show
you the way"
He leaped for ward but It was his
last step. l sent the cleaver hurtling
through the air. I know not how It
struck him, but he went down, his
last word a shrek, his arms flung out
in vain effort t. ward Off the blow.
Schmitt roared out a Dutch oath, and
his gun, sent whirling above me,
crashed into the uplifted torch. Again
it was black night, through which the
eye could perceive nothing. Even the
noise ceased. but a hand gripped my
shoulder.
