Alden Drake, formerly q sailor grown soft and fiabby through a life of idle case, ships aboard the clipper orontes as "boy," under the command of---
 Jake Stevens whose enmity he quickly incurs because of a mutual love for
 Mary Manning, daughter of the owner, who Is passenger. At Cape Town, Stevens Is superseded as cap tain by Drake, whose lawyers have seen to the purchase of the Or ontes during It's cruise. Stevens is reduced to the rank of chief mate.
 The Orontes is becalmed in the Straits off Java. Mary slips away from the ship with Ike, the stew ard, and later Jake goes to join her ashore. Part of the crew mu- tinies and sneaks ashore too. Drake goes to bring Mary back. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY
 Drake raised his brows and smiled understandingly.
 T see. But suppose Mir. Stevens prefers not to go to Batavia to face an inquiry for stranding my ship?"
 Then I prefer not to, Captain Drake!" she retorted.
 Jake held his rugged blond head very erect. There was amazing fire In his blue eyes. It matched the ocean deeps that glowed in her own for color, and far outshone them in

Surely not, for if he wanted to take the stick away from me, he would have taken it the moment we came up. Instead. he saved us from old Mugguns and even wished to bite Mugguns on the heel,"
 Then out loud she said to Willie Wolf, Yes. Willie Wolf, have a magical stick, but it does not make all my wishes come true, but it makes a great many of them come true. What did you want?"
 T will tell you, Lady Lindy" Willie Wolf replied "Winona Wo< is very sick and we have tried giv. ing her swamp roots and skunk cabbage and acorn tea, but they do not seem to help her even a smid- gin.

"l kin tend 10 my own affairs yit awhile, l guess, Whats eatin' you, Jim, anyway? Didn't l expressly say that Mis Graham was all right ? I'd fight any man for the Grahams jest as quick as you would"
 But you wouldn't tie up that loose tongue of yours for 'em," Jim retorted, and that's likely to do 'em more harm than you could fight back in month of Sundays, And besides you're shootin' off your month about Mis- Underwood and Mis- BiCkett when you know two finer women never stepped in shoe leather. Then, too they're the best friends Mis- Graham has on earth, they have been for years. Dye mean to tell mo Mis- Graham would have 'em for friends if they wuz mixed up in anything crooked?"
 "Sho', Jim" Sans voice was placating there hain't no use of your gettin' all hot up like this. didn't mean no harm. but cant you see for yourself that this bringin' home an unconscious woman with a satchel chained to her arm, some body nobody's ever seen before, is mighty fishy? Don't you think so, now. honest"
 Like q Frog in a Puddle
 q hain't paid to think about things that hain't none of my busi- ness" Jim retorted, and if I did. I'd say to myself that because we hadn't seen the woman before was no sign Mis- Graham and the rest didn't know all about her. You're like frog in puddle. Sam. think in it's the ocean. There's things goin' on in the world outside this neighborhood, you know"
 You bet there is," Sam retorted with dignity. That's just my pint. Nov"
 T don't care what your pint is," Jim interrupted, "just so you don't go around statin' it promiscuous where it'll do a lot of harm. Ef wuz you I wouldn't say nothlr' about this queer visitor to nobody outside"
 Dye think I wuz goln' to-" Sam demanded virtuously. T guess I know which side my bread is but tered. But I don't see the harm of 70 you about it."
 well! there's just one thing" Jim said decidedly. Outside the family there's only your family and me that knows about this. I haint goin' to say nothin' and your wife's a mighty close-mouthed woman. So if I hear about this visitor out side I'll know it's you or Jerry that's spilled 1t, and I'll know what to do."

 You think again, Cap'n," said Jake. proudly. That inquiry can't do thing to me but ruin me; but if you think I'm not man enough to face it, you've got the tarry end O the stick. Come, lass."
 
 Fat little Joe Bunting sat up in his stern sheets like battle scared admiral. Beside him sat his crew. In the bow perched Ike Saintly, holding his ak like a scepter.
 "Myke 'em work, tn bleedn' rot tcrs'" wheezed Joe. The bad look ing gang who had followed young Tubbs and Sims to their own dis comfture, now looking bad only by reason of their scars, toiled at the oars and made confusion doubly confused because there were twice as many of them as there were oars.
 "Fust one as sojers stooard, bust i'm over tn callybash wiv yer chop per-" said Joe.
 On the beach Jake Stevens stood ready to hand Mary into the other boat Drake was watching the laden craft, and his faco had a funny ex- pression. Had he not been go bruised and cut. his expression would have been simply a mixture of admiration, warm hearted appre- citation, and fun. There was fat lit- te Joe Bunting, his very first &C., quaintance Of all aboard the Or ontes; he could not count his first fleeting glimpse of Mary Manning 8 ! acquaintance. Acquaintance came later; and Joe was so proud of his job of jailer over the most Cantankerous members of the fore castle crowd that he had bundled every man Jack of them aboard the boat, leaving not one pair of arms 10 pull an oar in the captains boat. And he had been obliged to double bank every oar 10 make work for all.
 "The damn looms taken every man" exclaimed Jake. "Ahoy the boat! Bunting"
 "Let 'em go," said Drake with q laugh of pure joy. "We can handle this boat, I'm sure. I don't want 10 waste any more time
 Jake Stevens put his shoulder 10 the stem and they showed the boat fairly afloat. Mary was already sit ting at the yoke lines. They pulled easier and more strongly than the confused mob overmanning the other boat, and rapidly overlook it. The Orontes came into view, swing ing to her coir hawser, her top sails hanging in the gear But Jake Stevens, rowing bow oar, facing Drake's sturdy back. keeping time with his perfect stroke, was not looking round at the ship. He was sometimes glancing over Drake's shoulder to catch Mary's eye; but A'a tHC SitINti pat OI llE llllt uG was flxedly regarding Alden Talbot Drake himself.

said John. If you wish to see me alone, you had better come with me to my own room. This belongs to Mrs, Hamilton"
 Hastily I interrupted to ask Mrs. Prescott to breakfast with us. She accepted as though this was quite her due. She was hardly seated be- fore she began to upbraid John for not writing her
 You seem to be quick enough 10 go travelling about the country for your mother-in-law, but 1 must say that you neglect your own motlrr~ shamefully," was her first remark.
 This made John furious.
 Both Miss Anderson and I tried to change the subject but every few moments that old woman would return to her attack.
 I don't really think, Leslie, that Mrs. Prescott is as old as am, but she looks much older. It is prob ably because she has always thought of no one but herself, I hope I will never get to the point where I think the world revolves around me. It is a sure sign of senile old age.
 As I watched Mrs. Prescott that morning l wondered if she knew that she was reycrting to second childhood.
 You probably have learned, Les lie, in your own babies that a child is the most sclf-centered human in the world. He pays no attention to anything around him, unless it Is something which happens to at- tract him, This is also the case with an old person. In the case of the old. however, this selfShness is most annoying,

Letter from Mrs. Joseph Graves Hamilton to Mrs. John Alden
 Prescott, Continued

Hamilton tO Mrs. John Alden
 Prescott, Continued
 For the thousandth time, Leslie, l told myself that the telephone was the most impertinent thing on earth as well as the most insistent when the maid came to tell Jack that he was wanted on the wire.
 Hastily saying that he would finish the conversation when he re- turned, he left me.
 He was gone a long while. Tn fact, he did not come into my sit ting room for at least ten minutes, and he was looking much annoyed.
 You knew, Mother Hamilton, that my mother was in town" nr said. "Well, she phoned me from downstairs and although tried to explain to her that I would meet her in the lobby, she insisted upon coming up here
 I called a waiter and had him place two more plates on the table. This was hardly accomplished be- fore Miss Anderson looking apolo- getic, and Johns mother, looking very belligerent, came in,
 Mrs. Prescott had evidently not expected to find me with her son for she said stiffly, T expected to find you alone, John"
 That is why I told you I would meet you in the lobby, mother"

 "Oh, dear" Lady Lindy thought to herself. Does Willie Wolf want 10 take the magic stick away from me-" Then she thought again. No.

 hurried out to the barn in search of Jim. There was no sign Of him outside, and l had just reached the door when the sound of Sam Ticers drawling voice uttering Lillian's name halted me. There Is no inclination to cavesdrOpping in my makeup, but l knew that 1t be- hooyed mo 10 know what my worthy but gossipy neighbor was saying about my friend.
 How do we know what that Mis- Underwood is Up to?" sam was de- claiming, taking no pains to modu- late his voice. Ms Graham, now, she's all right, but too sweet and trustin' - l permitted myself a grin at Sans characterization of me -- "and sho thinks the sun, moon and stars get up and do q little dance whenever Mis- Under- wood waves a wand. So whatever Mis- Underwood tells her is all right with her. I think she'd go right over and jump into Peconic bay, if Mis- Underwood told her to, whether she could swim a stroke or not. But that Mis- Underwood Is a foxy piece if I ever seen one" - vast experience invested sam's tones.
 "KnOw the Brced'
 Tt don't look right 10 me bring In a woman that's about dead into the house with a satchel chained to her wrist, and bringin' that Mis- Bickett along, too. A trained nurse" sam's voice betrayed the inveterate distrust with which a certain type Of countryman regards nurses and hospitals. "I know that breed! You couldn't get me into a hospital with q pair of mules and derrick. Put can tell you, there's crooked work Eoin' on somewhere, and it's up 10 you, Jim, 10 nose around and find out what 1t is. You're right on the ground, so to speak, you've got the opportunity, and it's your dooty to the community. that's what it is."
 "You mean it's my dooty 10 your Curiosity, Sam" Jim returned with the slow, deliberate utterance which is always his You haint be- 1levin' half what you're sayin'. Elf I thought you did 1t would be my dooty to bust your head open with the handle of this pitchfork. No- body kin use the word crooked about the Grahams or any of their friends when I'm around. So I'm iookin' for you to take it back"
 There was significant pause, and I wished I could see the faces of the two men.
 "Aw! Jim, Paw didn't mean nuthin'," Jerry put in paciflcally. 'He's always"
 You shut your mouth" Sam Ticer said, but there was no anger

BOOK STATISTICS

The following figures were com
piled and handed to the Producers
News for publication by the county
librarian:
There are 1892 borrowers register
ed at the Main Library in Plenty
wood. Of this number about 900 are
from Plentywood and the immediate
vicinity. This does not mean that
only 1892 people are using the Ii
brary. In some families only one
person is registered, there may be
four or six persons in that family
drawing books on that one card. AS
many books may be taken out on an
adults card as that person wishes to
be responsible for. Children in rural
districts and in the town schools may
borrow-books from the collection sent
to their schools without being regis
tered at the Main Library. This is
also the case with the grownUps Dor
rowing books from the stations. Sc
it would be impossible to say exactly
how many people are actually getting
the benefit of the collection of books

ADVERTISING MAKES
GUM MAN MILLIONS

Wrigley, the chewing gum man,
has explained how he built up a bust
ness of millions a packages a day.
He has done it by sticking to his
one line and advertising it. He spends
over a million dollars a year in buy
ing newspaper space to tell the world
about scent chewing gum. He has
educated people to chew gum and to
chew Wrigley's. He did net stop
shouting as soon as he attracted at
tention.
He says you must keep it up or the
buyers will forget you. Whether
yours is a scent or a $4,000 bust
ness, keep telling about it.
