 Voices joined in agreement. The crowd began to move, Ike uttered a yell, and the starlight glittered on his ax blade.
 Come on, chaps!" shouted a man on the outside of the little mob, and before Ike could reach him his hands were upon the boat. Another hand tore down the sail.
 "Shove orf. me sons! We kin get strytened out afioatl"
 Hands off!" roared Jake, and plunged headlong at the man tear ing the sail awning down. He struck flercely at the dim face, and the fellow ,toppled back into the lap ping tide. Ike struck with his aS, and the edge gashed tho gunwale of the boat not an inch clear of another hand.

Ike screamed, for desperate hands seized his ax and rendered him powerless for harm. although he still clung to the handle. Jake stumbled to his feet again, all but stunned, and beat at faces that snarled at him. He heard Mary cry out, and fought nadly to reach her. Heavy clubs Of driftwood ham, mered upon his skull.

Alden Drake. formerly Q sailor, grown soft and fiabby through a life of idle ease ships aboard the clipper orontes as boy" under the command of
 Jake Stevens, whose enmity he incurs because Of a mutual love for
 Mary Manning, daughter of the owner, who is a passenger. At Cape Town, Stevens is superseded as cnp- tain by Drake, whose lawyers have seen to the purchase of the Or- ontes during its cruise. Stevens is reduced to the rank of chief mate.
 The Orontes, due partly to Jake's disobcyal of orders, is becalmed in tho straits off Java. Mary slips away from the ship with Ike, the steward. and later Jake goes to join her ashore.
 NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY
 Lulled by the murmur of the tide on the shore, and the soft crooning of the night breeze, Jake slept soundly for all his problems He failed to hear the stealthy tramp of many feet. A line of men stepped cautiously by him without seeing him, and went towards the boat on the beach, Jake only awoke to the snarling challenge of Ike Saintly. Then, swiftly awake, he became aware of the gathering about the boat.
 He ran down, bursting in among the riot that seemed to center

all sang in their tiny voices and the voices all blended into song, soft and musical like tiny violins.
 Then when the tiny Fairies flew there came a strange stiffness through the deep deep woods, which, for a moment made the Rag gedys feel lonely. but this did not last long. Raggedy Ann jumped 10 her feet. smoothed out the wrinkles in her apron and caught hold of Raggedy Andy's hand. Less run and laugh and have some fun!" she aid. So the Raggedys, laughing and singing went skipping across the 'og over the brook and through the lowers and ferns.
 By and by, they came to a cun- ming little house. so small Raggedy Ann and Raggedy Andy could touch the caves of the roof, i What a dear cunning little toy i house" Raggcdy Ann cried as she ran up to it, Do you think some dear little wood creature lives in side, Raggody Andy?" she asked, 'I spect so, Raggedy Ann!" Rag i gcdy Andy answered. Less knock on the door and see who lives here,"
 But maybe it's a witch's house, Raggedy Andy, or a magician's S house! What will we do them" ] "Ha! Raggedy Andy laughed. If it's a Witch's house, we will run: if it's a magicians house. I'll wrestle him and then we'll run"
 So Raggcdy Ann went to the door while Raggedy Andy rolled up his sleeves ready to wrestle, or run as the case might be.
 "Thump! Trump! Thump!" Rag gedy Ann's soft cotton stuffed hands hit the door.

He called up cunning where brawn bade fair to fail. Head down, and arms protecting it, he charged clear of the gang, and swiftly turned upon them.
 Back, you rats! Hands off, or I'll shoot you full O lead! Quick, you"
 "Bli'me, Tn bleeder's got a gun! Look out"
 Fearfully the deserters backed clear. They backed as long as Jake advanced, holding big closed clasp knife towards them. Then he warned them to keep that distance; and even Ike did not decline his offer to keep watch with him un- der the shelter of the boat.
 CHAPTER XXvII
 Master of His Ship
 Meanwhile. after a day of fierce work, shifting water tanks, break ing out cargo, moving weight of every movable kind aft to tighten the fore end of the Orontes, har- assed mates sent rebellious sailors to supper and rest.
 Let them turn in early, Mister Twining, because there's likely to be breeze after dark, and I'll try to move the ship again at high tide" said Drake, regarding complacent- ly the great heap of cargo forward of the poop. He had made no com- ment about the going of Stevens. He gave no ear to the whining grievances of the Doctor, who not only had to feed the men, and serve the cabin, but was driven to put his weight to a rope, too, trundle cases, and carry blanks. He was also expected to take care of the prisoner, 'Erb Oats. 'Erb found his mealtimes becoming painfully lEE6B uldI. lie lNO yOuu6 uldlto spared themselves no more than they spared the men. They sang out for hauls, hauled, too, slung cases and hove on crab winches with the men. Never a word of complaint escaped them. Drake noted that very carefully. But they felt they were working on a hopeless task; felt that there would be no chance of floating the ship until spring tides came: felt the men had req sonable ground for grumbling. But orders were to be obeyed, even though they break owners; and here the owner was giving the orders. So MT. Twining only mur- murcd assent to that last order as Drake went below. But Drake stepped back again.
 Better hoist the boat and swing it in before the men knock off for supper" he suggested. I've don't need a boat tonight, and l prefer not to lose another"

Junior was perched high upon his shoulder and Marion skipped happily by his side, chattering merrily. Following them closely came sam Ticer. a sack of grain upon his shoulder, and his face alive with curiosity, while the stoid dependable figure of faithful Jim brought up the rear.
 "Wcll, well, we'll" sam Ticer gave us the time -honored greeting of his kind. "If here ain't all the ladies to- gethcr, all the young ones that is" he chuckled.

 You don't need no men to carry one woman upstairs" Sam Ticer re- turned with broad grin. unless she's the fat woman in the circus. You just need a man, and that's me. "Taint often l git the chanCet to hug pretty girl, that woman of mine keeps sich a close watch on me-"

"Raggedy Ann and Raggedy Andy" Raggedy Ann answered.
 Then please lift the latch and walk in" the voice said.
 When the Raggedys walked into the tiny house, they saw a little old lady lying upon couch.
 Why" Raggedy Ann cried, Her hands and feet are ticd."
 "Yes, my dears!" the little old lady said, "Old Mister Mugguns, the magician did it and he will be back soon, I am sure." Raggcdy Andy soon had the little lady united and Raggedy Ann went to the cupboard and brought out milk and dough- nuts for her to eat. Very soon she was strong enough to walk to the door.
 "We must lock all the doors and windows, cause Mugguns wishes to take my magic stick"
 Just then Mugguns came out of the bushes and the Raggedys saw ne was the same little man with crooked legs who had wanted to eat Raggedy Anns candy heart. When Mugguns found the door and windows locked he kicked upon the door, but the Raggedys and the little lady remained very quiet and in a few minutes Mugguns went away. Then, the little lady brought out the magic stick and wished for strawberry short cake with whipped ! cream and lot of other nice things to eat and She and Raggedy Ann and Raggedy Andy sat at the cun- ming little table and visited until bed time and MT. Mugguns did not return to disturb them in their pleasure.

The Ticers Demonstrate Their
 Usual Efficiency.

That Mrs. Ticcr's keen eyes had seen the crumpled figure of Lillian's mysterious protege in the tonneau ol the car was sure, but nothing in her face or manner indicated that knowledge as she stood smiling at us from the doorway, As she put the query as to what she couid do for us, she advanced to the edge of the voranda steps, and Lillans answer expressed the thought that was also katherne's and mine,
 If ever there was q welcome wis ion on this old earth, it's you. Mrs Ticer," she said. And l know from the very look of you that there are fires blazing in the grates."
 Mrs. Ticers laughter, and l knew that Lillian's little compliment had pleased her greatly,
 "In every one of them,' she said 'You people certainly have plenty of wood, and knew you'd want things nice and warnl."
 You're a good gucsser," Lillian returned. "We've sick woman here whom we must get into bed as quickly as possible. What room, Madge?"
 Katherine Takes Charge
 "Mine, for the present at least" decided quickly" It is airy, it has a fireplace, and it Is large enough for a bed and a day bed"
 (Which we'll need if this girl Is going 10 be as ill as l fear" Kath- crime interposed, Mrs. Ticor, will you please go up and get Mrs, Gra- hams bed ready for this patient But first, is Jerry or your husband anywhere around?"
 They were here minute ago, she returned, talking to Jim about some chickens, Unless some miracle has struck them, they're still out at the barn"
 I think our faces all reflected the philosophical smile which her face wore as she spoke. Long ago Mrs Ticer gave up the struggle to inject some of her own energy into the veins of her easy going husband, and Aes happy-go-lucky son.
 Perhaps you'd better call them first" Katherine suggested.
 There's no need" she retorted her smile q little broader. Wild horses couldn't drag Ticer and Jerry home when they hear Marion's news that you're here. What did l tel

ON HEALTH SEEING THE DOCTOR

After Mr. and Mrs. Mann de- cided that they would have a physi- cal examination made the coming Saturday afternoon, Mrs. Mann spent the two intervening days in won dering just what the doctor would find wrong.
 At times she had been sure she was suffering from some kind of heart trouble. And every time she read of person dropping dead she was seized with q vague uneasiness.
 Now she was going down to see the doctor, and learn the worst. The thought almost frightened her.
 And her husband too. What would she do if the doctor. after an examination, should tell him that he had but one year to live?
New Britain herald., 1925-03-04

She had heard of doctors giving such messages as that. It had never seemed that she, herself, would be told this about her hus- band, not for long, long time at least.
 But there were the Joneses, friends of Mrs. Mann. who lived over on Cherry street. For the last five years they had had the doctor look them over every year.
 They seemed proud of 1t. Every time the two families got together Mrs. Jones would tell what the doctor said.
 "Well. some folk are just that way" she mumbled to herself "If the doctor tells them they have appendicitis they want it published it the papers,"

there.
 LOT lumme! Stooard, its hus!" exclaimed young Tubbs desperately. Ike menaced his head with the ax.
 "Git back! Tyke yer 'ands orf the boat" warned Ike. and his weapon swished through the air murderous- ly. Stevens pushed forward.
 Get back, there. What does this mean? Who's here?"
 "Gawd bli'me, it's Mister Stevens blokes!" cried Sims, and the crowd drew back with many a muffled whisper and scarcely untitled chuckle.
 What is it. 1ke?" called Mary from her shelter.
 There's tn Judy" whispered Sims hoarsely, digging a forefnger jocosely into Tubbs' ribs.
 Don't be frightened, Mary" Jake called to the girl. Then with a ferocity that abashed the men for the moment he put his face close to the nearest man and parked:
 What dye want? Whats your game? Who sent you?"
 Somebody remembered that Stew ems was no longer a first mate to be feared.
 Never mind our gyme, Mister" snarled a bold voice. We ain't come arter you. We don't care If Wn tyke the boat an beat 1t over tn Strytes. An tn lydy kin come, too, if she wants to- hey blokes?"
 "'ush yer row, Mouthy!" growled Tubbs, pushing himself forward. We come ashore, Mister Stevens, becos we ain't goin' to ave our hearts broke and be swore at. We come ashore, syme as you"
 "Th' bloody rats started to run hover the deck, so it's time for sailormen-' Another garrulous voice broke in. Tubbs cursed the speaker and went on with his own tale:
 We want to know, Mister Stew ems, If it ain't law as our Articles is up an cancelled as soon as the ship strikes"
 "You'll all be clapped into the stone fTigate, as soon as you get ashore, that's how you stand" re- torted Stevens contemptuously. He might be a disgraced and discredit- ed officer; but he still held to the rule of caste. He was dealing with forecastle rabble. Not even decent sailormen. No decent sailormen would desert the ship while there was hope of saving her. He grinned at the thought. But in his own case he had been definitely reduced to a nonenity and told to go. Sud denly he thrust in among the clus- tering gang. All were dripping wet, they smelled sour. They were all breathing hard as if from exertion, or anxiety. He peered into one face after another.
 T thought sol" he rasped, step ping back towards the boat. Not one good man among you. My ad- vice to you is, get back to the boat that brought you ashore, and return to the ship before you are found out. Work, you're afraid of! You'll build roads under a Java sun if you don't turn to like men"
 we didn't steal boat, Mister" retorted Sims. The other boat is hauled up, for fear we would, though. You ain't been treated none too good, Mister Stevens. We only done the same as you. We swum for it, too. And we're ready to fol- Ter you if you"
