II was toward nightfall when Puss
Junior and his comrade came In sight OF
a small house near the roadside. The
Robin, who always few ahead, settled
himself on the railing Of the little porch
and waited until the Good GRAY Horse
stopped at the front gate. The Pig
Without n Wig was all out Of breath
when he arrived. The little company was
now complete and waited for q word
from Puss Junior who was just about
to speak, when great noise was heard
at the rear Of the building.
There was a man and he had naught,

CHAPTER III.

The voice Of Jansen hailed softly.
At first Hunter thought not to answer,
but reconsidered. He would hear what
the fellow had to say, which could do no
harm. He was weary with the suspense.
Something would have to be done, and
done soon II it were not for that girl
darn girls, anyhow.
Jansens plea was the same as before.
It seemed that the man could not get It
through his thick skull that Hunter could
possibly be in earnest IN refusing his
freedom, plus part Of the loot Such a
thing was the height Of insanity. This
time jansen added the further assurance
that the men were all dead drunk,
asleep IN the forecastle, and that he had
locked them in.
Hunter thought quickly, and, bidding
Jansen wait, he parted the curtains and
placed his hand over the girls mouth.
Faith, are you awake"
She stirred and he removed his hand.
Yes" sleepily.
Listen. Jansen is outs de with his
same proposition. He says the men are
all drunk and locked in tie forecastle.
It's more than likely & trap, but we've
got to take some risks soon or later, If
we're going to end THIS thing. Get up
and get your gun. When I go out, you
bolt the door and don't open 1t again I'M
til you know that it Is I calling you. If
any one comes to the door and calls, or
does not answer your challenge, shoot
through the door. Your gun Will carry
through the wood TO kill Understands"
She slipped out of the berth and stead
led herself.
Are you afraid7" he asked, cycling
her closely.
She looked at him in surprise. "Of
couse. I'm afraid. I'd lie an IDIOT, other
wise"
He studied her a little and then said
shortly: You're as steady as a rock
youU carry on"
Then he raised his voice to Jansen /:
"Now, listen, Jansen. You go around to
the companionway. If anybody shows up
before you, I'll kill him and then you
If anybody's behind you, I'll get you
first. Get me? Youu come down that
companionway with your hands up, I'M
der my gun, and then maybe Wen talk.
If tAat's agreeable, get moving, but
staA3 to one side while I Open-I can
shoot through the door. If this is not

! satisfactory, then get away and stay
! away"
Jansen evidently was satisfied, feeling
secure in the tempting bait he was Of
fering, for they heard him move away,
walking aft.
Hes half-shot," muttered Hunter
slipping through the stateroom door,
where ne paused until he heard the bolt
shoot on the inside. Then he made his
way to the foot of the companionway
Ntairs.

Jansen, following his usual custom of
coming down backward, made heavy

and hampered by having to hold his
hands above his head. 1t was with DIFF
fculty he Ike. from falling before he
reached the bottom, then, then As he
stepped to the deck of the cabin, Hunter,
clubbing his automatic, struck the man
a sharp blow, just over the temple. with
sharp In kissing of breath, Jansen went
to the floor and lay stu. Hunter darted
up and refastened the hatch, calling to
/ Faith as he sprang down again.
Quick Faith! a sheet, anything to
tie this beast up-do you hear2"
Coming" she called In none too steady
voice, and she appeared with sheet
in her hands.
They tore the sheet into strips, bound
and gagged Jansen, who lay still, show
ing no signs of life.
Have you killed him?" Faiths voice
contained a plaintive little tremolO.
Il don't know and l don't care"
snapped Hunter. This is not a time tor
squeamishness.'
She caught her breath sharply at his
reply, but remained silent.
without further words Hunter dragged
the body Of the heavy Jansen into the
first mate room, deposited It on the
floor. Coming out. he locked the door
pocketed the key, and turned to the white
faced girl
Pull yourself together. It's now or
never I'm going to see what's doing

Faith was inward'y trembling, faint
and sick. as she entered the room and
sat down on a deck stool.

WIFE ORDERED
10 RETURN.

BY order Of TIE court the wife was
forced 70 return 10 her husband IT was
then established the husband had com
plete domluion over her and the high
court Judge held that:
Husband and wife were one in law;
the law allows but one win between
them. which must be placed in the
husband as the Attest and ablest 10
govern the family.
In the case of 1897 the husband
quoted this case. The facts were that the
husband bodily seized his wife as she was
leaving church In company with her
sister and carried her away in a cab, took
her home and placed her under lock and
key.
She was brought thence by a writ OF
habeas corpus. Later tho House Of
Lords overruled the Cochrane decision
and the freedom Of wives in England be-
gan at that date. Even then. however,
II was carefully pointed out that in some
cases physical restraint by the husband
might be justified-for example II he met
her on the stairs in the very act OF an
elopement.
The direct and indirect effects Of the
married women's property net and the
reversal Of the Cochrane case have been
the deciding factors to free women from
the matrimonial bondage which had been
their lot since medieval times.
