thought only of escape. To climb up
to the bulkhead without being seen
was impossible, however, so, not
knowing what else to do, he stood on
the iron ladder and gazed, pop-eyed
with horror, at the unequal contest.
Backward and forward the tide of
battle surged. For nearly three min
utes all Scraggs saw was an indis-
tinct tangle of legs and arms; then
suddenly the combatants disengaged
themselves and Scraggs beheld Mr.
Gibney prone upon the deck with a
CORY face upturned to the foggy skies.
When he essayed to rise and continue
the contest, Flaherty kicked him in
the ribs and Hicks cursed him; so
Mr.. Gibney, realizing that all was
over, beat the deck with his hand in
token Of surrender. Hicks and Fla

in protest at this added touch of bar
barity, and Dan Hicks, turning, be-
held Scraggsy's white face at the
hatch,
You're next, Scraggs," he called
cheerfully, and turned to peer over the
rail. Mr.. Gibney had emerged on the
surface and was swimming slowly
away toward an adjacent float where

YEARLY up on the float and sat there.

earlier spires were generally built of

the building was rooted with wood.
These early timber spires were, as q

greater elevation; that which crowned

OZONE AND THE SAND MAN
The TWO Are Quite Closely Related,
Though Probably Few People
Could Tell How.

People who spend their vacations at
the seashore at this time of the year
usually find that their nights are
dreamless and restful.
They say that the sea air makes
them sleepy. Wheeled along in a
beach chair, one is likely to feel drowsy
or even go to sleep.
1t is the ozone In the air that does
1t. The air at the seashore is full of
ozone, which might be called con-
centrated oxygen. Ozone is a power
full and healthful stimulant.
Whence. by the way, comes the
nursery idea of the Sand Man, herald
of sleep?
The answer is that the approach of
sleep checks the flow from the ear
ducts which keeps the eyes moist.
There results a dryness and slight
uncomfortableness of the lids, causing
one to rub the eyes. The Sand Man
has come, and it is time to 60 to bed.

Synopsis.-Captain Phineas p. Scraggs
has grown up around the docks of San
Francisco, and from mess boy on river
steamer, risen to the ownership OF the
steamer Maggie. Since each annual in
spection promised to be the last of the old
weatherbeaten vessel, Scraggs naturally
has some difficulty in securing a crew.

CHAPTER IIl-continued.


'Trhat'l do, bosun," Gibney thun-
dered. Then, in his natural voice, to
Scraggs: "All set, Scraggsy. Guess
we're ready to be pulled off. Get down
in the engine room and stand by for
full speed ahead when l give the
word"
Quick! Hurry" Scraggs entreated
as he disappeared through the little
engine-room hatch, for the tide was
now at the tip Of the flood and the
Maggie was humping wickedly and
driving further up the beach. Mr.. Glib
ney turned his stovepipe seaward and
shouted: "Tugboats, ahoy!"
"Ahoy!" they answered in unison.
"All ready! Letter go-o-o-o"
The Squarehead stationed himself at
the bits with lantern and Mr.. Gibney
FASTENED to the pilot house and took
his place at the wheel. When the haw-
sers commenced to lift out of the sea,

member this is the steamer Yankee

readily"
Captain Scraggs opened the throttle,
and while the two tugs steadily drew
her off into deep water, the Maggie
fought valiantly to stick to the beach
and even to continue her interrupted
journey overland. She merely sue
ceeded in stretching both hawsers
taut; slowly she was drawn seward,
stern first, and at the expiration of
fifteen minutes steady pulling, Mr.. Glib
ney could restrain himself no longer.
He rang for full speed astern-and got
it promptly. Then, calling Neils Hal
vorsen to aid him, he abandoned the
wheel and scrambled aft.
With no one at the wheel, the Mag

gazing across at Hicks and Flaherty
without animus, for to his way of
thinking he had gotten off lightly, con-
sidering the enormity of his offense.
The least he had anticipated was three
months in hospital, and So grateful
was he to Hicks and Flaherty for
their forbearance that he strangled a
resolve to "lay" for Hicks and Fla
herty and thrash them individually
something he was fully able to do
and forgot his aches and pains in a
lively interest as to the fate of Cap
tain Scraggs at the hands of the tow
boat men. He was aware that Cap
tain Scraggs had failed ANONYMOUSLY
to rally to the Gibney appeal to repel
boarders, and in his own expressive
Technology he hoped that what the
enemy would do to the bastard would
be "a-plenty."
The enemy, meanwhile, had turned
their attention upon Scraggs, who had
lodged below like frightened rabbit
and sought shelter In the shaft alley.
He had sufficient presence of mind, as
he dashed through the engine room, to
snatch large monkey wrench off the
tool rack on the wall, and, kneeling
| just inside the alley entrance he
turned at bay and threatened the in
vaders with his weapon. Thereupon
Hicks and Flaherty pelted him with
| Jumps Of coal, but the sole result of
this assault was to force Scraggs
| further back into the shaft alley and
out of range.
The towboat men held a council of
war and decided to drown Scraggs out.
Dan Hicks ran up on deck and re-
turned dragging the deck fire hose be-
into the shaft-alley entrance and in
vited Scraggs to surrender uncondi.
tionally or be drowned like a kitten.
Scraggs, knowing his own fire hose,
defied them, so Dan Hicks started the
pump while Flaherty turned on the
water. Instantly the hose burst up on
deck and Scraggs' jeers of triumph
filled the engine room. The enemy
was about to draw lots to see which
one of the two should crawl into the
shaft alley and throw a cupful of
chloride of lime (for they found can
Of this in the engine room) in Captain
Scraggs' face, when a shadow dark
ened the hatch and Mr.. Bartholomew
McGuffey demanded belligerently
Whats goin' on down there? Who
the devils takin' liberties in my en-
CINE room?"
Dan Hicks explained the situation
and the just cause for drastic action
which they held against the fugitive
in the shaft alley. Mr.. McGuffey con-
sidered few moments and made his
decision.
