: The storm blew out, and there came
a spell Of pleasant weather. Simms
was still confined to his cabin.

tails of navigation, Carlson left the

was warm, there was little to do, the
sailors, as we'll as the hunters, spent
most of their time lounging on the
deck.
Lund hung over the rail, smoking,
or paced the deck, always close to
Rainey. The manner in which he
went about the ship was almost I'M
canny. Except that his arms were
generally ahead Of him when he
moved, his hands, with their wOoliy
covering of red hair. lightly touching
boom or rope or rail. he showed no
hesitation, made no mistakes. When
the breeze was steady he would even
take the wheel and steer perfectly by
the "feel of the wind" on his cheek,
the slap Of 1t In the canvas, or the
creak of the rigging to tell him. II he
was holding to the course. And he
took an almost childish delight in pro-
claiming his prowess as helmsman.
The booms were stayed out against
swinging in flaws and the roll of the
sea, and Lund strobe back and forth
behind Rainey, who had the wheel.
The hunters were grouped about Carl
sen, who, seated on the skylight. was
telling them something at which they
guffawed at frequent intervals.

yarns" growled Lund. hating in his

Hansen was promoted to acting quar-

on all possible occasions BY Captain
Eimms, was Offset By the pendulum II

could slide through the seas at twelve
knots on her best point Of sailing

After Rainey had demonstrated at

The Fairy Ybab was perched upon
the side Of the flower pot. In the
flower pot was a big. bright geranium
flower, and growing in the earth, too'
were quite few little, tiny weeds.
"What has happened to make you SO
happy, Weeds?" asked Fairy Ybab.
"You see," the Weeds continued aft
er a moment, I'VE aren't always want
ed. As family we're not so very
popular. We're usually dug up ana
thrown away. and. after all, we sup
pose that is all right.
"For we, as a family, are rather
mean the way we crowd the flowers
out of the way, and if they don't want
harm done they must get out OF the
way before we can do much harm.
"We can't really blame people for
digging us up, for as family we do
push our way about and aren't in the
least polite about waiting for invita-
tons or anything like that.
But when the person who owns
this flower and this flower pot saw
us coming up out of the earth, she
said:
"'Oh, l am glad to see those cum
ming little weeds growing up
"YOu can imagine how pleased we
were! We all were just as happy
and pleased as could be. We weren't
going to do the flower any harm be-
cause We were only little bits OF
weeds and weren't going to grow up
into strong big weeds, but we thought
we'd be dug up In any case.
"But no, we were actually well
coined. Just fancy. Fairy Ybab, how
much that means to the Weed fam

family with pride will tell this story.
"Yes, the Weed family will tell how

flower pot.

isn't it, Fairy Ybab?"
"Ah, yes. don't wonder you are
proud" said Fairy Ybab. Il don't
wonder at all.
"And now I must tell you of the
proud elephant. This elephant had
been ridden by beautiful lady who
had come to visit the circus.
"She was a friend Of some OF the
circus people and she had asked II
