''ThatIl do, bosun," Gibney thun-

eUgine-room hatch, for the tide was
now at the tip Of the flood and the

The Squarehead stationed himself at

The Squarehead gave a warning shout,
Whereupon Mr.. Gibney calleds the en-

commanded Scraggs. Pull against

nevertheless what they lacked In
horsepower they made up In pugnacity
and the salt sea seldom breeds
craven. Captain Scraggs thrust a
| frightened face up through the engine
room hatch, but at sight of the battle
royal taking place on the deck aft
his blood turned to water and he
| 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
herty waited until the fallen gladia-
tor had recovered sufficient breath to
sit up; then they pounced upon him,
lifted him 10 the rail, and dropped him
overheard. Captain Scraggs shrieked
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 or the
surface and was swimming slowly
away toward an adjacent float where
small boats landed. He climbed
YEARLY up on the float and sat there,
gazing across at Hicks and t!aherty
without animus, for to his way of
thinking he had gotten of lightly, con-
sidering the enormity Of his offense.
The least he had anticipated was three
was he to Hicks and E1aherty 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 :
lively interest as to the fate Of Cap
tain Scraggs at the hands OF the tow
boat men. He was aware that Cap

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 a frightened rabbit

He had sufficient presence OF mind, as
he dashed through the engine room. to

tool rack on the wall. and, kneeling

Great Time and Everybody
 Went to Knickerbockers

After the long round of gayety the ranks showed no signs of thinning out, and If there was any one absent you would have been right to figure that he or she was absolutely sick and the doctors positive orders that the patient could not go out, hanging on the foot of the bed. The party was at the Southern club.
 Gold and black are the club colors these being featured in club in signia, in hangings and in cozy cor ners; while the club crest adorned the silver yanities, given the girls who were escorted to this holiday mirthful playtime by the members of this organization which, by it's invita- tion, made several hundred persons happy.
 It was 10 o'clock that the dancing began, the gay whirl of things be- ginning when Miss Elizabeth Messer and Lenton Sellman, club president. appeared upon the floor. to lead the pretty circle. Miss Messer was all n white. her gown glittering with bright sequins. At one side a fluff
