Joe grinned cruelty behind his bloody mask. But he was doing his best. The fight on the beach sud- denly took on & different aspect. Three of the deserters had gotten all they wanted. and were crawling away shaking aching heads. Tubbs covered at Drake's feet, hands gripping tightly about his bruised jaws, blind and weeping with de- fcaled fury. Stevens gripped Sims was swaying him to and fro; and the look upon Jakc's battered face was horrible because it was out wardly a laugh. Another Of the gang looked scared and crept further away, for Sims feet were leaving the ground. Sims choked desperately. One man with more nerve or less intelligence than his fellows. picked up a stone and raised it over Jake's head. The only other ruffian remaining lifted club of driftwood and aimed fin- ishing stroke at the bowed head of Drake.
 "Orontes, Orontes." vheezed Joe Bunting at that moment, stumbling through the small surf followed by two of his crew.
 "Rontes an give 'em he'll" squealed Ike saintly. He sprang ashore, too. grabbing for his ak. bold with the advent of fresh men. Mary was running up the beach, hampered by wet skirts, her blue eyes blazing, and her long hair fly ing, holding a sharp pointed boat hook before her like a spear. She was transfgurcd. She reached the fighting group when two blows 1 seemed certain to fall at the same i instant, and one only might be warded She drew in a deep breath, and thrust hard with her boathook. The driftwood club over Drake's head fell, but fell upon the covered i head Of Tubbs, for Drake had turned to see whence came lkes fierce squeak of encouragement. The battle was over. Ike glared around for foes with fine ferocity. There were none. His aX drank no red blood that day. Joe Bunting and his two mates panted hard from their efforts, willing enough but too late Their mere appear ance frightened all fight OH: of the conscious mutineers.
 Round up the gang. Bunting and take them aboard the ship," 1 ordered Drake. Mary, we'll take the boat now" He turned to Jake Stevens, with hand held out. Thanks for your help. Stevens. DO I understand you are not returning to the ship"
 Mary took Jake's arm and dabbed at his bleeding face with her hand kerchief. She answered, with blaz- ing eyes and high color;
 If Jake doesn't, I won't"

 Tt isn't quite fair Katherine" Lillian said tremulousIN to pitch fork you into this thing without letting you know what it's all about"
 Iris true" Katherine retorted, ''that in a former existence was the cat killed by curiosity. But I'll try to survive until you have time to tell me. Just now only want enlightenment on one point, Why this vulise suspended from a steel chain to which thg poor thing Is clinging so tenaciously even in her stupor?"

 Well, if we don't find it. therell be a job for a fle,' Katherine com- mented dryly.

 "You are eminently correct" Lil- Han returned with faint smile, although sue is the soul of discre- lion compared 10 her husband"
 "Yes, he began a comment upon that chained bag" Katherine re- turned, "and I distinctly saw his wife kick his ankle. He subsided quickly. too."
 She was wasting no time as she talked, but was moving quietly and efficiently around my room, trans forming it swiftly into the sem blance of one belonging to a hospi- tai.

"Just wait until I can lay my hands on Raggedy Ann and Rag gedy Andy" little old man Mug guns cried as he plastered his head with vinegar and brown paper I will take Raggedy Ann'S candy heart away from her and I'll take Raggcdy Andy and put him under a great, big stone so that no one will ever find him! That's what I will do. And I'll also take the magic wishing stick away from Lady Lindy,"
 Mugguns' head was covered with little round bumps where Walter and Winnie Woodpecker ha thumped him with their sharp bills.
 Though Mugguns was very angry he had received no more than he deserved for he had no right 10 try

to take the magic stick away from Raggcdy Ann and the Woodpeckers thumped him just in time.
 As soon as old Mugguns had his head all plastered up he took his crooked stick which just matched his crooked legs and started out for the cunning little home of Lady Lindy.
 I'll catch them when they do not expect mel" he muttered 70 himself, And he licked his lips when he thought of eating Raggedy Anu's candy heart.
 Before Mugguns came out of the bushes, he looked all about 10 sHe that Walter and Winnie Wood- becker were not about, for he did not care to have his head thumped again. Then, seeing that they were not around in Lady Lindys house Mugguns walked boldly up to the door and thumped upon 1t with his crooked cane.
 Trump Trump Thump." Then as there was no answer from within, the sly creature opened the door and walked right in, IL was q very imrolte thing 10 do ana am sure that neither you nor I would think Of doing such a thing. But you see, old Mugguns was a very selfish creature and selfish people are always very impolte.
 "Ha." Lc whispered to himself. "Thoy orc not home, so I shall hide behind the door and jump out and capture them as soon as they came i'm" So he hid behind the door and waited and waited until he heard footsteps coming up the walk.
 My" he gigglcd to himself, "Wont it surprise them when l hop ont and grab them?" And he got all ready 10 jump.
 Suddenly, when he knew they were right at the door, old Mug guns waved his stick and jumped out "Boo"" he cried in his loudest cruffest voice. He intended saying, Now have you," too. but he 1 bumped right into Willie Wolf and cracked Willie on the head with 1 the crooked stick before he could stop himself. Here" Willie Wolf 1 cried, What are you trying 10 do?"
 "Oh! Excuse me-" Muggun, cried. T thought you were Lady Lindy"
 Aha. You did, did you? Well, il tLat is the way you treat Lady Lindy I spect you are very rude fellow" So Willie Wolf grabbed Mugguns and turning him over his knee. paddywhacked him with his i cane as hard as he could
 Thank you Willie Wolf" Lady Lindy said as she and Raggedy Ann and Raggedy Andy came out Of the bushes. We saw the mean crea' lure go in and hide behind the door and we knew he wanted tc take my magic stick away from me so we hid out there, until he de- cided 10 leave
 "Wen! He will leave right away them" Willie Wolf growled in hi' gruffes' voice. T shall bite him or the heel" And he would have bit, ten Mugguns if Eaggedy Ann hat not said. No. Willie Wolf. pleas, do not bite him on the heel vol may tear his stockings!"

 Lillian sat down obedicntly in the chair to which Katherine pointed. l started for the door, but stopped as Lillian said with elaboratcly as- sumed meekness:
 May I make one suggestion 2"
 "A dozen, if you'll stay seated and quiet while you're talking" " Katherine retorted.
 Then, I would advise that you divert Mrs, Ticcr's mind by suggest ing that we are hungry and would enjoy one of her famous meals after we are finished here" Lillian said demurely.
 Bravo! Brayissima" Katherine chanted softly. "The old bean is working if the circulation isn't. All right Madge. flag Mrs. Ticcr and set her face kitchenward."
 I hurried out Of the door, with my pulses chilling at that chance phrase of Katherine's, If the cir culat!on isn't" l had flashed an in- voluntary glance at Lillian at the words and had seen the tiny lines around her mouth suddenly etched as sharply as the lines of an en- graving, sure sign to me of some sudden, strong emotion.
 "she Was Concealing?"
 Was It possible that there was something vitally wrong with Lil- lian, something which she was con- cealing from the rest of Us, some thing which katherine's keen eyes had detected? I negatived the last question promptly. My little kins woman would never have referred to a serious ailment so flippantly Her words were no doubt uttered only in jest, but Lillian's reaction to them appeared to argue some thing which it behooved me as heI nearest friend to investigate. I found myself clutching at the stair banister, as might an old woman, when I descended to the kitchen. Suddenly I had visualizet a world without Lillian, and 1t was a vision which chilled and terrified me.

CUTTING THE BREAD
 BY SISTER MARY

Bakers white bread for every meal. every day in the week is both monotonous and expensive. In 8 recent article I showed how the thrifty housewife could cut her bread bill in half by baking her own bread, since the bakers have advanced prices in many cities.
 There are many bread substitutes that make the meal more appetiz- ing, are easier to make than bread and also will save you money if you buy all your bread. Here are some of the best recipes:
 Whole Wheat Bread
 Two cups scalded milk, 4 table spoons molasses. 2 teaspoons salt, compressed yeast cake. 1-4 cup lukewarm water. cups whole wheat flour
 Add molasses and salt 10 milk ad when cooled to lukewarm tenn 0crature add yeast cake dissolved in lukewsrm water. Stir in as much
 ur as possible and kncad in the rest Whe nclas,lc to the ju..; .. into well oiled bowl and let riso, covered, until double its bulk. It will take about three hours. Form into two loaves and place in well oiled pans. Cover and let rise un- til not quite double its bulk. Bake one hour in a moderate oven.
 I1p9IN ha kGrnf even temperature during the entire process of rising and kneading.
 Raism Bread
 One cup boiling water, l cup scalded milk, 1 tablespoons butter, 2 tablespoons lard. 1-2 cup sugar, teaspoon salt. egg. 1-2 cup seeded raisins, s cups -four, l yeast cake.

Letter from Mrs. Joseph Graves Hamilton to Mrs. Leslie Prescott

Hamilton to Mrs. Leslie Prescott
 My Dear Daughter: Well. I am all ready to go This Is the last letter I am writing. I shall finish it and mail it from the ship.
 AS I wired you, l arrived here on Sunday, and John came into town to breakfast with me on Monday morning.
 He was very concerned about you, Leslie. Wanted me to tell him if you were getting along as well as you had led him to believe.
 He said. Mother, am going 10 try and make this start in Pitts burg entirely a new one.
 T feel as though it is going to be another honeymoon for Leslie and me. She has not always un- derstood me. and perhaps I have not always been as kind as l might have been.'
 He seemed much depressed about something, dear. I had feeling as though he were holding out his hands to just grasp your skirts -- anything 10 keep you near him. l wanted to send him right back to you, but he told me that you would never forgive him if he let me take the boat alone.
 The business Is worrying him a great deal He told me that he is trying hard to avert strike. He took the Condon hoy back, and as nearly as can find out, the boy is practically useless and will be for some time.

 "Ill take care Of Mary, Captain Drake" Stevens said, gruffly. "Marys coming with me" He drew Mary's hand inside his arm and looked down at her bent head. Aren't you, lass?"
 Drake's black eyes widened, and his brows lifted, but his smile was unbroken.
 Miss Manning is my passenger, Stevens. She goes to Batavia in my charge. Come, Mary"
 Better get your ship ahoat first" growled Stevens, for Mary seemed inclined to obey the cap tain.
 "The ship lies at anchor, ahoat," said Drake, and moved towards the boat again. He waved to Joe Bunt- ing, 10 come in nearer; and as if 1t were the signal expected for an en- tirely different move, a volley Of rocks flew out from the shore and crashed in and about the boat. Lit tle Joe's red face swiftly turned reddor. Blood poured from his eye hrows. Another oarsman dropped his oar, dipping smashed fingers ! Ii was all clear as day. Drake neA;1 hesitated.

 You'd better get in and shove Ter clear. Stevens" he snapped There was nothing more said; but Jake Stevens red face was almost purple with shame.
 All happened in the space of few breaths. Men still picked IT rocks, and some hurled trem aftel the receding boat.
