he said. "What is it?"
"Mr. Clements says, will you kindly
look at his throat"
II suppose had better co." he said,
when the lad was gone.
The name of the steward had
brought a troubled look to Mrs. Rad
ways face. For a moment she had
forgotten his existence.
Certainly" she cried, "and do not
let him think l want to evade the
monetary payment"
Clements was In the room formerly
occupied by the captain.
"My throat's all right" he said,
"that was an excuse. / left you all
alone last night, because l hoped you
might learn something that wouldn't
have been said had / been there"
Bettington wondered whether he had
not some photographic contrivauce
which would already have put him in
possession of what had passed.

Tell Sam that Grammar is to put the
instrument in order. I'd better not be
seen near the wireless house."
Sam looked doubtful when he heard
Clements instructions.
"Graumann' got at some of the
cooks rum" he explained, "and he's
not in any condition to monkey with
machinery, but I'll see about it."
Grammar, drunk, had a sullen
bravado, which Grammar, sober,
dared not show. He walked up and
down the forecastle to prove his
sobriety. 1t would not take minute,
he declared, to make the necessary
adjustments.
He had the misfortune to meet the
captain face to face as he crossed
the deck. His unsteady step and the
odor of rum arrested the shippers at
tention.
you've been drinking, you swine, "
said Hallett, gripping his arm.
"I'm not too drunk to fix the wire
less your fool nephew can't"
BettingtOn saw that there might be
a disagreeable scene.
"Go below" he whispered to Mrs.
Railway. "This may brighten Mary"
Grammar laughed aloud. He was
stricken with amusement to think he
had for days duped this detestable
commander. 1t was the best joke he
had ever heard. He wanted every
body to know. 1t seemed pity that
his victim should remain in igno-
rance. He felt gifted above other men
with sense of power. He was too

Auto Tires in Color

The craze for color has taken the
form of demand for automobile
tires to match the car. In Great Brit
ain and on the continent automobile
manufacturers are offering vehicles
on which the tires match the body of
the car perfectly. The claim is made
that the tires thus treated with the
special material designed for the pur-
pose are preserved and therefore last
much longer, but the principal object
is the harmonious color effect.

RALEIGH
Fish Freeze to Death

That fish were frozen to death in
the North sea during the spell of
Arctic weather in February, 1880, has
just been disclosed. Fishermen who
trawl there noted many strange hap
penings in an area of about 10000
miles in the vicinity of Denmark.
They say their strangest experience
was trawling up large numbers of
dead fish, evidently killed by the cold.
These included soles, brill, cod, con-

ported having thrown overheard
1900 pounds of dead sole in a weeks
voyage.
