CHAPTER XVII
Don Carlos.


Stewart took Nels, Monty and Nick
Steele aside out of earshot, and they
evidently entered upon an earnest col
loquy. Presently the other cowboys
were called. They all talked more or
less, but the deep voice of Stewart
predominated over the others. Then
the consultation broke up. and the
cowboys scattered.
Rustic, you Indiansi" ordered
Stewart,
The ensuing scene of action was not
reassuring to Madeline and her friends.
They were quiet, awaiting some one
to tell them what to do. At the offset
the cowboys appeared to have for
gotten Madeline. Some of them ran
off into the woods. others into the open,
grassy places, where they rounded up
the horses and burros. Several cow
boys spread tarpaulins upon the
ground and began to select and roll
small packs, evidently for hurried
travel. Nels mounted his horse to ride
down the trail. Monty and Nick Steele
went off into the grove, leading their
horses. Stewart climbed up a steep
tumble of stone between two sections
of low, cracked cliff back of the camp.
Madeline's friends all importuned
her: Was there real danger? Were
the guerrillas coming? Would a start
be made at once for the ranch? Why
had the cowboys suddenly become so
different? Madeline answered as best
she could but her replies were only
conjecture, and modified TO allay the
fears of her guests. Helen was in a
white glow of excitement.
Soor the cowboys appeared riding
~barebacked horses, driving in others
and the burros. Some of these horses
were taken away and evidently hidden
In deep recesses between the crags.
The string of burros we're packed and
sent off down the trail in charge of a
cowboy. Nick Steele and Monty re-
turned. Then Stewart appeared,
clambering down the break between
the cliffs.
His next move was to order all the
baggage belonging to Madeline and

Once Hooked by Eskimo Hunter, There
Is No Way by Which He
Can Get Away.

An Eskimo, when once he has gone
TO the trouble of splicing a fine spear
handle. does not wish to break it, so
the point is put on with a tangle or
joint.
When a seal or walrus is harpooned
tbe sudden struggle of the animal does
not break the spear, but merely un-
Joints the point, and the more the ami
NAL struggles the more the point turns
crosswise in the wound and the irmer
the barbs take hold.
But the animal cannot escape, for
with thongs of skin the point is con-
nected with the spear shaft. The ami
NAL merely swims away or dives deep
into the sea, carrying with him the
spear. The long leather thong which
is attached to it uncoils from the deck
of the kyack and pays out. 1t carries
with it a drag like a kite, which re
tards the animal and exhausts him,
but does not pull hard enough to break
the line. Even this draw is made of
skin stretched over a spliced frame
work.

divine what all this strange talk and
action meant.
Hold on. Nels, they don't need to
hear It," said Stewart, hoarsely, as he
waved a hand toward Madeline's silent
group.

as well know fust as last. Mebbe

somethin' to happen will come true.

Monty's strident voice.
1t had as decided an effect as any
preceding words or action. Perhaps
it was the last thing needed to trans
form these men, doing unaccustomed
duty as escorts of beautiful women,
to their natural state as men Of the
wild.
Tell us what's what said Stewart,
cool and grim.
Don Carlos an his guerrillas are
campin' on the trails tibet lead up
here. They've got them trails blocked.
BY tomorrer they'd he'd us corrallcd.
Mebbe they meant to surprise US. He's

They're well armed. Now, what do
they mean? You-all can figger it out

We'll know soon. An now, Stewart,

to resign my job because I want to

How significant was the effect of his
words upon all the cowboys! Stewart
made a fierce and violent motion, ter
rible where his other motions had been
but passionate. Monty leaped straight
up into the air in a singular action as
suggestive of surprise as it was of
wild acceptance of menace. Like a
stalking giant Nick Steele strobe over

boys rose silently, without a word.

that in this particular frOck the waist
line has returned TO its normal po-
sition. Two little pulled sleeves cir
Gle the arms just below the shoulder.
The frock at the right IS severely
plain except for the draped skirt and
the long false sleeve falling straight
from the shoulder. The line of the
neck is finished with a soft roll drawn
through loops of the same material.
This idea is repeated IN the long drape
falling from the shoulder, but in this
case single loops only are used. The
waistline is formed by folds of the

When the line is all played out 1t is
seen to be attached to a float, which is
also carried on the deck of the boat.
This is made of an inflated skin. 1t

carved ivory, for wood is far too pre-
cious te be used in this land of ivory

the Eskimo can follow the animal and

PLEADS SEAS COMMAND.
First Lord of Admiralty Voices
Ideal Before Commons.
Rr the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
LONDON, May 2.-"Command of all
seas" was the ideal set forth by the
first lord of the British admiralty.
Lieut.. Col. Amery, in the house Of
commons, in his defense of the gov
ernment proposals to develop Singa-
pore into strong naval base.
We do not possess such command"
he continued. No Prospecting
power can afford indefinitely to be de-
pendent on another power for its Sc
curity and even it's existence"
This pronouncement by the first
lord followeda motion by George
Lambert, formerly a civil lord of the
admiralty, to reduce the naval vote
as a protest against the expenditure
necessary to complete the naval base
at Singapore, which was defeated, 253
to "a.
Various labor and liberal members
strongly disapproved Of the scheme.
and in the course of the debate both
the United States and Japan were
referred to frequently. Mr.. Lambert
intimated that the scheme might be
an attempt to get behind the Wash
ington treaty.
Others thought 1t might encourage
the United States to follow suit and
develop bases in the Hawaiian Is
lands, while Carlyon Bellairs, in sup
port OF the proposal, suggested that
Singapore might ultimately be useful
to the United States in defending the
Philippines.
