But"
He swept the figure of the girl In a
pause that was eloquent of his line of
thought. She grew uneasy of it, but
Lund maintained It until she raised
her eyes from her work and chal-
lenged his. Rainey saw her breast
heave, saw her struggle to hold the
gaze, turn red, then pale II, thought
her eyes showed fear, and then she
stiffened. Almost unconsciously she
raised her hand to where Rainey was
sure she kept the little pistol, touched
something as though to assure herself
Of its presence, and went on sewing.
Lund chuckled, but shifted his eyes to
Rainey.
"Why don't you write up this
v'yage? When it's all over? There's
adventure for you, an we amt ha'f
through with it. An romance, too,
mebbe. We amt developed much of
love-story as yit, but you never can
TELL"
He laughed, and Peggy Simms got
up quietly, folded her sewing. and
said Good night" composedly before
she went to her room.
"How about L, Rainey?" quizzed
Lund. slow about the love part Of
It? She's a beauty, an she'll be an
heiress. Amt you got emmy red blood
in yore veins? Don't you want her?
You won't find many to hold candle
to her. Looks, built like a racin'
yacht, smooth an speedy. Smart, an
rich into the bargain. Why don't you
make love to herr"
Rainey felt the burning blood
mounting to his face and brain.

he said. IF was I should not try

He went on deck laughing, leaving
Rainey raging but helpless. Lund ap.

FINDS CURE FOR ,BLEEDERS
Paris Physician Successful In Treating
Disea" With Use Of Blood
From the Horse.

"Bleeders," as they are called, gen.
orally come Of families with a history
Of bleeding. Such sufferers are rare
ly cured. But DR.. P. Emile-Weil Of
Paris reports in a bulletin Of the
Societe Medicale des HOpltaux the sue
cess he has had with his treatment OF
the disease, which lstcalled hemophilia.
He relates the case Of child Of
seven, a pronounced bleeder, belong.
ing to one Of the classic bleeder fami-
lies that have been written up In
medical annals since the Eighteenth
century. He gave the boy an injec-
tion Of 20 cubic centimetres Of normal
horse serum-that Is, horses blood
with the corpuscles extracted-every
second month until fifteen injections
had been given. The tendency to
hemorrhage seemed to be arrested
and after seven years there has been
no sign Of Its recurrence.
Previous to this Doctor We'll had
treated seven cases Of familiar hemo-
philia with such injections, all Of them
successfully, but he never regarded q
case as wholly cured until that Of this
boy. But the fact that he has been
free from bleeding for seven years in.

chaIeur Bays "Fire Ship"

According to investigations Of Pro.
fessor Ganong, the traditional fire
ship" of Chaleur bay, New Brunswick,
appearing usually before storm, has
basis of fact. II is a hemispherical
light, with the fiat side toward the
water, glowing sometimes without
much change Of form, but at other
times rising into slender, moving col.
umns, In which an excited imagination
might recognize the flaming rigging Of
q ship.
The general explanation offered is
that this object is h manifestation Of
St. Elmo's fire, an electrical phe-
nomenon, but the reason for its ap-
pearance only on or near Chaleur bay
is not known.

And Rainey's valuation of her re-
sources increased. She was handling
her woman's weapons admirably, yet
when he sometimes, at night, under
the cabin lamp, saw the smoldering
light glowing in Lund's agate eyes, he
knew that she was playing a danger
GUS game.
"What dye flgger on doln' with yore
share, Rainey?" Lund asked him the
night that they passed Nome. It was
stormy weather In the strait, and the
Karluk was snugged down under
treble reefs, fighting her way north.
The cabin was cozy, with a stove 60
ing. Peggy Slmms was busted with
some sewing, the canary and the
plants gave the place a domestic at
mosphere, and Lund, smoking CON-
fortably, was eminently at ease.
"Cordin' to the way the men fig
gered 1t out" he went on, though I
reckon they're under the mark moren
over it, you'll have forty thousan' dol
lars. That's quite a windfall, though
nothin' to Miss Peggy, here, or me,
for that matter. l s'pose you got 1t
all spent already" ..
II don't know that I have" said
Rainey. "But / think, If all goes we'll,
I'll get a place UP in the Coast Range,
In the redwoods looking over the sea,
and write. Not newspaper stuff, but
what I've always wanted to. Stories.
Yarns of adventure!"
"Goin' to write secondhand stuff"
asked Lund. "Why don't you live

yo're goin' to git under a mans skin
by squattin' in bungalow with Jap

ME, I'm goin' to git a schooner

,-,"Aye, an mebbe queen to 60 with

in a look that made the girl flush and
Rainey feel the hidden issue that he
felt was bound to come, rising to the
surface.
"That's a mans life," went on Lund.
Travels all right, but a mans got to

These styles generally follow ac-

"MEBBE A QUEEN!"

Synopsis.-Loitering on the San
Francisco water front, John Raj
ney, newspaper reporter, Is accost-
ed by giant blind man, who asks
Rainey to lead him aboard the
sealing schooner Karluk. In the
cabin they find Captain simms and
man named Carlsen. 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
his intention Of accompanying the
! Karluk on It's expedition north,
where It is going In quest Of a gold
: field which Lund has discovered.
Peggy, Simms' daughter, is aboard,
I and defends her father. Carlson,
who is a physician, as well as first
mate, drugs Rainey. Awaking from
his stupor, Rainey finds himself at
sea. Carlsen informs him he has
been kidnapped. He offers RaiDey a
share of the gold, and Rainey Is
forced to declare himself satisfied.
I Lund gives him a brief account of
a former expedition Of the Karluk,
tells him he distrusts Carlsen, and
suggests a partnership" Rainey
to act as Lund's "eyes." Rainey
Is made second mate. Captain
simms Is Ill and the navigation Is
entirely In the hands of Carlsen.
At the latter's suggestion a shoot
ing match Is staged and the seal
hunters exhaust their ammunition.
Carlson shows his skill with the
pistol and Lund does some aston

and Is rescued by Rainey. who
thus wins Peggy's admiration. The
captain gets worse. Sandy tells
how Carlson is stirring up trouble
over the division of the gold. Carl
sen draws gun on Rainey, who
overpowers him. Tamada, the mys-
terious Japanese cook, declares
himself neutral. Lund, his sight
restored, kills Carlson. Captain
simms dies. The hunters attack
Lund, who has taken charge of the
Karluk. They are beaten after q
. fierce fight.

frances Population
We are informed that France

We are informed that France
is again "perturbed" about the
growing birthrate in Germany,
as compared with her own. In
the first place, the birthrate in
Germany has fallen enormously
since the war came, and is apt to
remain comparatively low. But
why does France want to in
crease her population? If she
feels another war is certain we
see why she feels that they must
have food for cannon" to use
terrible phrase of the old Ger
man military clique, but other
wise France should be content
with her population of SO. 900, 900.
No doubt she wishes to maintain
that population, as she has shown
she can support it, but the birth
rate is large enough for that,
ard frances present population
is about right.
The truth is that the French
people have very sane ideas about
the size of families. 1t is not
true that large families are un-
known in France. They fire.
quently appear. But there is a
rooted belief among the French
people that parents should have
no more children than they are
able to take care of. And it is a
wise and honest policy.
The French are a frugal people
and they know how to save. II
