Officially, and to chief extent In ac-

Dor. beyond Number %, glowed the
white lanterns marking two vessels

other was still In the active process OF

days before, had taken the warning
lights from the Straits of Mackinaw,
from He-aux-G Galets, from north Mani

at Beaver island had but five nights
more to burn.
Having no particular duty when the
boat was in dock, old Burr had gone
toward the steamer "laying up," and

National Committee on Boys and Girls
Club Work VIII Award Free Trip
to Europe.


A free trip to Europe with all ex-
penses paid will be awarded the four
champion canning girls of the United
States in 1922. This is the largest
prize ever offered to the farm girls
of America. Fifty-five thousand rural
girls who are members of the girls
clubs conducted by agricultural col
leges, the U. s. Department of Agri-
culture cooperating, are competing in
the contest. After the local, county,
and state elimination contests are held
there will be five interstate or section
al contests, the winners of which will
compete for final national honors at
Chicago during the week of the Inter
national Live Stock Exposition. At
the final contest the honors and prize
trip will be awarded on the basis of
efficiency In demonstrating canning
methods, in judging canned products,
and by the home canning record.
The American Committee for Devas-
tated France is providing the prize
trip for the four girl winners and for
the three women leaders who will
train the winning teams. The contest
for the section comprising Colorado,
New Mexico, Arizona and Wyoming
will be held at the Colorado State Fair

Alan's questions and, If Alan persisted
he avoided him.
On deck. one night, listening while
old Burr talked. excitement suddenly
seized Alan. Burr claimed to be an
Engiishman born in Liverpool. He had
been, he said, seaman in the British
navy: he had been present at the
shelling of Alexandria; later, because
of some difficulty, which he CLOSED
over, he had deserted and had come to
"the States" he had been first a deck
hand, thep the mate of tramp schoOn-
er on the lakes. Alan, gazing at the
old man, felt exultation leaping and
throbbing within him. This life which
old Burr was rehearsing to him as his
own, was the actual life Of Munro
Burkhalter, one of the men on Cor
vets list regarding whom Alan had
been able to obtain full information!
Alan sped below, when he was re-
lieved from watch, and got out the
clippings left by Corvet and the notes
of what he himself had learned in his
visits to the homes Of these people.
His excitement grew greater as he
pored over them; he found that he
could account, with their aid. for all
that old Burr had told him. Old Burr's
stories were not, Of course. true; yet
neither were they fictitious. They

old Burr Of the Eerry.

Old Burr Of the Ferry.
1t was in late November and while
the coal carrier Pontiac, on which he
was serving as lookout, was In Lake
Superior that Alan first heard OF Jim
Burr. The name spoken among some
other names In casual conversation by
a member of the crew, stirred and ex-
cited him; the name James Burr, oc-
curing on Benjamin Coryet's list, had
borne opposite it the legend "Ali dis
appeared; no trace" and Alan, whose
Investigations had accounted for all
others whom the list contained, had
been able regarding Burr only to verify
the fact thar at the address given no
one Of this ZANE was to be found.
He questioned the Oiler who had
mentioned Burr. The man had met
Burr ono night In Manitowoc with
other men, and something about the
old man hnd impressed both his name
and imagp on him; he knew no more
than that. At Manitowoc the place
from which Captain Staford's watch
and where Alan had sought for, but
had failed to find. the sender! Had
Alan stumbled by chance upon the one
whom Benjamin Corvet had been un-
able to tracer
Alan could not feaye the Pontiac and
go at once to Manftowoe to seek Burr !;
for he was needed where he was. 1t
Pontiac had been laden again and had
repassed the length of Lake Superior
that Alan left the vessel at Sault Ste.
Marie and took the train for Manito-
voc.
The little lake port of Manitowoc
which he reached In the late afternoon,
was turbulent with the lake seasons
approaching close. Alan inquired for
the seamen's drinking place, where his
informant had met Jim Burr; following
the directions he received he made his
way along the river bank until he
found it.
The proprietor knew old Jim Burr
yes. Burr was wheelsman on Car
ferry Number 25. He was lakeman,
experienced and capable; that fact,
some months before, had served as in
PRODUCTION for him to the frequeDters
Of this place. When the ferry was in
harbor and his duties left him lille,
Burr came up and waited there, occu-
pying always the same chair He
never drank; he never spoke to others
unless they spoke first to him, but
then he talked freely about old days
on the lakes, about ships which had
been lost and about men long dead.
Alan deci ,ed that there could be no
better place to interview ole Burr than
here; he aaited therefore, and in the
early evAifng the old man came III. He
was slender but muscularly built man
seenttSg about sixty-five, but he might
be considerably younger or older than
that. His hair was completely whise |;
his nose was thin and sensitive his
face was smoothly placid, emotlonless,
contented his eyes were queerly cloud
ed, deepset and intent.
Those whose names Alan had found
on Corvet's list had been of all ages,
young and old; but Burr might well
have been contemporary Of Corvet

Then ihat was a few minutes
ago they heard the four long
again. They'd tried to pick up
the other ship with radio before.
I. Yes; we got that here. :.
Tried again and got no answer.
But they heard the blasts for half an
hour. They said they seemed
to be almost beside the ship once.
But they didn't see anything.
Then the blasts stopped -. sud-
den, cut OF short in the middle as
though something happened. :.
She was blowing distress all right.
The Richardson's searching
again now. Yes, she's search
ing for boats"
Anyone else answered." Alan
asked.
"Shore stations on both Sides"
"Do they know what ship 1t Isl"
mo"
"What ship might be there now7"
The officer could not answer that.
He had known where the Richardson
must be; he knew of no other likely
to be there at this season. The spray
from the waves had frozen upon Alan |;
Ice cleaned and glinted from the rail
and from the deck. AIan's shoulders
drew up In a spasm. The Richardson,
they said, was looking for boats; how
long could men live in little boats ex-
posed to that gale and cold7
He turned back to the others about
the radio cabin; the glow from within
showed him faces as gray as his: It
lighted face on the opposite side of
the door-a face haggard with dread
full fright. Old Burr jerked about as
Alan spoke to him and moved away
alone; Alan followed him and seized
his arm.
What's the matter7" Alan demand
ed, holding to him.
"The four blastsl" the wheelsman
repeated. "They heard the four
blasts" He iterated 1t once more.
"Yes." Alan urged "Why not?'
"But where no ship ought to be-; SO
they couldn't find the ship-they
couldn't find the ship" Terror, of
awful abjectness, came over the old
man. He freed himself from Alan and
went forward.
Alan went aft to the car deck. The
roar and echoing tumult of the Ice
against the hull here drowned all 9th
er sounds. The thirty-two freight
cars, in their four long lines, stood
wedged and chained and blocked In
place; they tipped and tilted, rolled
and swayed like the stanchions and
sides Of the ship. fixed and secure.
Jacks on the steel deck under the
edges Of the cars, kept them from
rocking on their trucks. Men paced
watchfuliy between the tracks, observ-
ing the movement of the cars. The
cars creaked and groaned, as they
worked little this way and that; the
men sprang with sledges and drove the
blocks tight again or took an addi-
tional turn upon the jacks.
Alan saw old Burr who, on his way
to the wheelhouse, had halted to lis
ten. For several minutes the old man
stood motionless; he came on again
and stopped to listen.
"You hear 'em7" Burr's voice qua
vered in Alan's ear. "You hear 'em?"
"What7" asked Alan.
1.-THE four blasts You hear 'em
nowf The four blasts."
Burr was straining as he listened.
and Alan stood still too; no sound
came to him but the noise of the
storm. NO" he replied. 81 don't
hear anything. Do you hear them
now?"
Burr stood beside him without max
ing reply; the searchlight, which had
been pointed abeam, shot its glare for
ward. and Alan could see Burr's face
in the dancing reflection Of the flare.
The man had never more plainly re-
