ed by a giant blind man, who asks
Rainey to lead him aboard the

cabin they find Captain Simms and
a man named Carlson. Simms rec
ognizes the blind man, calling him
Jim Lund. Lund accuses Simms OF
abandoning him, blind, on an ice
foe, and denounces him. Simms
denies the charge, but Lund re-
fuses to be pacified. He declares

The Rifle CARTRIDGES.

The girl did not appear for the eva

suggestions through the door. Lund
drank heavily, but without any effect,
save to sink him in comparative 81

after the japanese had cleared the
table.
'We've got to git hold of those
cartridges" Lund said, after a long
pause. ''Carlsen had 'em planted
somewhere, an it's likely In his room.
Best thing TO do is to chuck 'em over

Rainey.

But he fund it no easy matter To
risk a shot In that swirlIng n.ass. The7
all seemed to be arm weary Blows
no longer rose and fell. Lund vas
slowly dragging the dead weight of
them all toward the mast. The two
m on the deck still lay there.
Rainey's opponent was trying TO get
up, wiping clumsily at the blood on
his face, blinded. A man broke loose
from the scrimmage, on the opposite
side from Rainey, who barely recog-
nized the disheveled figure with the
bloody, battered face as Deming. The
hunter had managed to get hold of
Lund's gun. Rainey's aim was screened
by Il sudden lunge of the hu Idle of
men. He saw Lund heaye, saw his
red face bob up, mouth open, roaring
once more. saw his leg come up in a
tremendous kick that caught Deming's
outleveling arm close to the elbow,
saw the CLEAN of the gun as ii streaked
up and overheard, and Deming stag
gering back. clutching at his broken
limb, cursing with the pain, to bring
up against the rail and shout to the
seamen:
Get into It, you id towards Get
into 1t, and settle hint"
Even in that instant the sarcasm of
the cry Of towards" struck home to
Rainey. The next second the girl had
jumped by him, CLINT of metal in
her hand as she brought II out of her
blouse. This time she saw him. 'Come
on! !" she cried. And darted between
the fighters and the storming figure
Of Deming, who tried to grasp her
with his one good arm, but failed.
Rainey sped after her Just as Lund
reached the mast. The girl had a
nickled pistol in her hand and was
threatening the sullen line of irreso-
lutte seamen. Rainey with his gun
was not needed. He heard Lund shout
out in a triumphant cry and saw him
battering at the heads of three who
still chung to him.
All through the fight Lund had kept
his head, struggling to the purpose he
had finally achieved, TO reach the
mast-rack of Delaying pins, seize one
of the hardwood clubs and, with this
weapon, beat his assailants TO the
deck.
He stood against the mast, his
clothes almost stripped from him, the
white of his flesh cleaning through
the tatters, streaked with blood. Save
for his eyes, his face was no longer
human, only a mass of fiayed flesh
and clotted beard. But his eyes were
alight with battle and then, as Rainey
gazed, they changed. Something of
surprise. then of delight, leaped into
them, followed by burning flare that
was matched in those of the girl who,
with Rainey herding back the sea-
men, had turned at Lund's yell of via
tory.
The girl wheeled and fed, lodging
behind Tamada, who gave way to let
her pass, his ivory features showing

Old AGE.

To those who have no recourse In
themselves for living well, every age
is burdensome. We must fight against

commonly called dotage belongs 10
weak old men, but not TO ali. For, as
l like young men In which there IS
something Of the old, 50 I like old men

pursuits and labors for the welfare Of
the state does not perceive when old
age steals upon him.-Cicero.

Poisoned: What 10 DO

Every day or so the

medicine by Unstable. 4 little care
and common sense could have pre-
vented such an accident.
All medicines which are poisonous
when taken internally are so labeled
by the dispensing druggist or physi-
clan. If such medicine is transferred
to another bottle the label also
should be transferred or a new one
made out. 1t is well to put such
poisons on the top shelf of the medi-
cine cabinet, %reserving this shelf for
poisons only. Most poisons when
bought have prickly shoppers on the
bottles so they may he identified in
the dark. Children should be eau
toned against taking any medicines
except when the parents are at hand.
The symptoms of poisoning vary
with the special poison. Sudden,
severe and unexpected sickness after
eating, drinking or taking medicine
may be due to poison.
Delay in cases of poisoning is
usually disastrous. A doctor should
be summoned Immediately. but
while awaiting his arrival first aid

In the case of poisoning from cor

should be as follows: neutralize the
