II CAN'T vouch for this tale. I would

his own tales. To the nautical racon-
teur Truth is an abortion of scientific
intrigue calculated to put the bug on

1t is true, however, that a compass
needle is of weak and vaciIlating char

points out of true. Though magnets
are arranged about it to compensate
for action of surrounding metal, there
is always small error. This error is
deviation.
vitality important to skipper is it
to know the amount of error. Also
must he be familiar with what nearby
beams and braces cause most of it.
For instance one of the Canadian
patrols-so the tale goes-had a wood
en- cargo boom secured just forward
of her bridge. The heel fitting on the
boom was of steel. So near the steer
ing compass was this piece that when
gale swept the forecastle clear, TAX

Perhaps it was youth. or maybe OPP
timism in the captain that kept him
from worrying. Or it may have been
that he was bound up to Sydney, his
home port. Or it may even have been
that he was going to see his wife.
Some sailors are that way.
At any rate he kept on in spite of
rain and fog and snow and sleet. No
moon. nor sun, nor stars to guide him.
His dead reckoning had to do.
He crawled into "hole in the WALL

ashore.
Somehow the dock looked unfamil-
lar. The street beyond curved the
wrong way Certainly there was some
thing queer about the lights.
Suddenly he encountered a woman.

have her new suit on as he discerned
by the glow of a shop window.

claimed.

RATTLE STATIONS
OW do Won nick a man?

TTOW do you pick a man?
II By his face-yes. And figure
sometimes. His actiOns-mostly. His
thoughts-when you are sure they are
his. But there is one more method.
Great statesmen like Gladstone, and
others like T r. have known and used
1T. Sure to the mark is: how man
waits. Not just his patience. Watch
all of him while he's waiting.
The fleet leaves port for maneuvers.
Complete war watches are kept on the
lob all the time. Submarines are the
greatest immediate peril In the
course of a few days an actual war
zone is reached; that is, an area in
which the enemy may be lurking. Or

creeping just behind the horizon.
Then its all hands stick TO their sta

CHAPTER xiii.
The sheriffs NUDGE

The sheriff's barn stood against the
hillside. the distance Of half a block
back of his house. He had been in the
saddle most of the day. 1t was dark
when he rode into his barn lot to put
up his tired horse.
So intent was he upon his task. so
eager to hurry it over and get back to
the house to supper. that he failed TO
notice a dark form stealing down off
the bluff. through the bushes, and
along the barn wall.
The task finished, the sheriff closed
the barn door and turned toward the
house.
'.Sh-hf"
He whirled. and found himself gaz-
ing down the wrong end of a steady
six-gun in the hand of the very man
he had been hunting all day. The
sheriff was a brave man. but he knew
where bravery ends and foolhardiness
begins. His hands went up as quick
ly as he could get them up. The man
with the six-gun carried his arm in a
sling. 1t must have cost him torture
to take it out. but he did it; reached
over and plucked the sherifFs revolver
out of his holster, thrust 1t into his
blouse and put his arm back into the
sling.

standing that whisper. '.I'n not hurt

with every sort of weapon the Flat

''Wild Rose! :" he said. you'll al

The fancy went through him that
her hand thrilled. ever so slightly, up
on his arm. He closed his great palm
over it.
''The woods shall be safe tomorrow
for you-and me-" he said, and fol-
lowed the words with the boldest act
of his life-picked up the hand from
his arm and laid it TO his lips. The
next instant he had slipped away into
the gathering night.
Buried in the bushes. he spared a
second TO look back. She was still In

BON HoMME RICHARD

A n OLD STORY. yes. But I bet
"A you didn't know she won her bat
tie with bucket,
She was the flagship of our first
J. P. who was known by foreigners as
that pirate"
John Paul Jones named her after
the Almanac published by a certain
B. Franklin. The latter's influence in
France made 1t possible for Americans
TO fit out squadron OF repriSal
against the British
In the summer OF 1779 five Ameri-
can men-of-war crossed under Jones'
command. After painting the Scotch
coast red they. fell in with an English
feet. For rather obscure reasons only
two ships chose TO engage. H NJ s.
Scraps and the L. S. s. Bon Homme
Richard.
The British was first rate ship
of-the-line while the Richard was m
old converted Indiaman The Scraps
could throw 600 pounds of projectiles
to the Richards 444 pounds. Crews
were of nearly equal size.
At the first broadside the Richards
big 1S-pounders burst and smeared
their crews along the decks or splat-
tered them on the crossbeams over
head. Besides this disaster the swift
Scraps cross Jones bow and raked
him fore and aft. which in those days
was as good as a home run in the
ninth inning with three men on.
At this point of the combat the Limey
captain staged a famous incident by
his fatuouS inquiry: HAS your ship
struck" To which. as every school
boy knows. Jones replied: Il have
not yet begun to fight"
So they went at it again. And they
got all tangled up with each other.
Finally they just hung together and
drifted Yankee riflemen in the tops
drove the British crew below. British
gunners between decks fired through
the sides of their own vessel TO pune
ture the enemy's.
Then came a Scot. Yankee Scot.
with a bucket He filled his bucket
with bombs He added a pinch OF
common cOmbustibles. He slid out on
the yardarm overhanging the Scraps.
He threw match into his bucket,
dropped the bucket down the hatch be-
meath, and beat it.
Followed puff and a flame and
bang. a great big boom of a bang.
This disaster took all the spunk out
of the enemy After few boarding
brawls the finish .came.
The Richard was sinking and on
fire; her decks were CORY and her
sides like sleeves. But she was saved 4;
and John Paul Jones became the hero
of two continents.

"And wouldn't think of letting you
go without"
When a woman talks like that, it's
no use to argue. The Pearlhunter
didn't-which shows that he was
learning-fast.
''Will you eat with me again?"
She swept him a deep courtesy.
IF the famous finder of the Blue
Moon is not ashamed to eat with his
cook"
He bowed low. 1t cost him a pang
in his side, but it didn't get to his
face.
IF the rich heiress, Miss Hesper
Dawn. is not above eating with the

Wonderful is the residence of youth.
With a gay laugh she danced away to
the kitchen. He tramped after her.
His two old friends, the Boss and
dour-faced Bull Masterson, would
have been astOnished at the sounds
that came through that kitchen door.
