caused him to stop. He couldn't have
said what it was. He heard nothing,
saw nothing and smelled nothing out
of the way. yet all the time he had a
feeling that he was in danger of some
kind. He sat down to study the situa-
tion. He could look out, and he was
certain that there was no dog or
hunter waiting for him out there. At
last he started on, but for no reason
that he could have explained he did
not walk straight out; he turned
aside, his eyes fixed on the place
where that trap was hidden He had
a feeling that something was wrong
right there. His whole attention was
fixed on that spot. And so he did
just what the trapper had thought he
might do-stepped in the second trap

We could look after ourselves We worked hard earned high wages and saved wisely for a rainy day And we had a kind of contempt for anybody who did anything else
 Something has happened to the cocksure independence which considered characteristic of the typical Am ercan Probably the is that the rainy day arrived at last, and it kept raining entirely too long

THE CHAPTERS OF THE MOON

The Craters of the Moon, one of the scenic wonders of Idaho, are a national park, located sixty miles north of Shoshone. Crater pits, spatter and cinder cones are massed along the Great Rift caused by the Lava Flow. Many of the cinder cones are red at noon, and change to purple by sundown. Beautiful flowers grow in this area, including the Idaho State flower ferns, lilies and others. The craters are truly a beautiful sight and should be visited by any one going near Shoshone.- Carolyn Bradshaw, Shoshone, in the Washington Business Woman.

you don't mind, sir? We wouldn't have
done it if the watchman hadn't said it was
all right"
Captain Blair said nothing for a moment,
then he brushed the boy aside. In the mates
bunk lay girl - child really - with fear
and suffering staring up at him through her
grey eyes. He stood looking down at her in
the half-light, then struck match and lit
the cuddy lamp. A spasm of pain passed
across the girls face. He bent over her His
knowledge of medicine was elementary, suffi-
cient to have passed him in getting his mas
ter's ticket forty-fve years before
He glanced over his shoulder at the boy
slumped over the mess-room table with his
head in his arms. A pretty kettle of fish
The Orion with her helm lashed was
pounding her head into the gale with few
miles of offing that was getting less every
minute. In an hour and half she'd be in the
surf.
A moan from the girl brought Blair to
action. Grasping the boy by the shoulders, he
dragged him into the galley. They got the
dying fire to going and put kettle of water
on the stove.
They made couch for the girl on the seat
in the salon, and carried her there under
the swinging cuddy lamp. On deck above
their heads, the gale howled drowning her
moans
Blair worked silently. Now the miracle of
birth. A tiny cry that flung its challenge for
life into the teeth of the gale.
The young father washed the tiny body in
the dishpan. A boy, it was "a son of the
storm, Viking born! Life's ironies! This chit,
hardly red-weight, fragile as China
doll.
He went on deck. The hurricane was on
them. The sea about the Orion was milk
white He butted his head into the gale and
found the helm, mlashed it and peered to
leeward. The Jersey coast was blotted out in
the driving rain, but he knew that it was not
more than three or four miles away He
strained his eyes into the driving spindrift for
a sight of a beacon, but saw none. He con-
sidered his chances in going overstays, but
decided on wearing ship.
Death was no longer important. Life,
new life was clamoring for place in the sun.

laughter everything that a man could
wish for, and more. by ten times, than most
men got He wanted to die while he could
look death calmly in the face with clear eye
and sound heart.
1t was well that he had double-reefed both
main and foresal. The wind began veering
sharply to the East. He headed for the open.
lying as close to the wind as he could and still
make good headway. He was perhaps seven
or eight miles offshore when the wind shifted
into the East with the suddenness of a squall.
The Orion was cuffed on her side with the
force of the blast. Blair was forced to pay her
off several points until she righted herself.
He ran back into the wind almost imme
diately, but she couldn't take it, so he lashed
the tiller and ran the foresail down. 1t began
to look as if there were no alternative but to
run her ashore on the Jersey sands, or run
back to port and stand the gaff with the
authorities.
Before taking the helm again, he went
below and looked at the glass. 1t had fallen to
hurricane. AS he steadied himself against the
pitching of the vessel, he heard sound behind
IL.
In the door of the mates cabin stood
young man - boy rather - with fear writ
ten on his smooth, handsome face and in his
dark eyes.
"Are we at scar" he asked.
Captain Blair took deep breath.
"Well, what d'you Think he said. Who
are you?"
my name is Anderson - Peter Anderson.
MY wife is in there She's - sick"
What! How did you get here9"
1--WE came in from Port Chester. l was
taking her to the hospital. It's baby sir.
We had just money enough to pay for the
confinement The doctor told her that she'd
be admitted in the morning. was ashamed to
tell them that we had no money for room, so
we decided to stay around the water front.
The night was warm. We found place in
a warehouse, but the night watchman said
that we couldn't stay there. He brought us
aboard this ship. He said that he knew the
captain, that it would be all right because the
ship was going to be dismantled for barge
and her sailing days we're over. You're Cap
tain Blair. sir?"
"I am"

He put the helm down and Stacked the
main sheet. The Orion ran down the wlnd
with the white caps snarling in her wake,
leaped the crested seas and went tobogganing
down their sheer slopes with the speed OF an
express train. As she came back into the teeth
of the gale on her port tack, the Jib tore
from the bolt ropes and the torestay sail
failed and pounded - but held. The main
boom swung to leeward with jerk that all
but tore the spar out of the ship and rever-
berated deep down in the girdered stiffness of
the OrionS empty hull
Blair ran the vessel into the wind, lying
as close as he could without losing steerage
way. He had no means of knowing how lar
offshore he was: but there was but one thing
to do 49, try to run for Ambrose Light. The
Orion had been chartered by a greater
authority than the master of the port of New
York.
The little schooner raced before the gale,
burying her bulwarks in the phosphorescent
seas to leeward and shaking the spume of her
catheads, rain drumming in furious cascades
on her straining canvas. All about her black
ness, with here and there, white-caps bursting
like cotton flowers into bloom and above her
slender masts, through rent in the clouds,
reeling stars.
Through the smother ahead. Blair caught
the flares of Ambrose Light, as if pinned on
coniurer's black curtain. Half mile to lee
ward was binding white ribbon - the Jer-
sey surf
He thought of many things, as man will
in the face of death; curious thoughts that
had not occurred to him in years. He had been
born on this coast not so far from that light.
Sixty-odd years ago. his boyish feet had trod
pleasant woodlands where now there was
scarcely tree: where factory chimneys
belched smoke, and the land was sere and
yellow with the blight of man.
Ten thousand ships had passed this
way bearing the best and the worst of the
world.
He forced the helm over as far as the
Orion would lie, watching the blinks of the
beacon, and brushing the driving rain from
his eyes.
Suddenly, out of the spume and spin
drift, burst a great brilliance "a steamer
coming up the coast laden with excursionists

from the Caribbean. The vessel was ablaze
almost from stem to stern with rows OF lights
So close did she pass that Blair got swift
Kaleidoscope glimpSes through her llghtet
port holes OF sea world very different from
his own; of men in formal evening black andS
women in lowcut gowns, dining and dancing,
hardly conscious of the gale without. Of swift
footed walters with tood-laden trays; ol an
orchestra performing madly some strident
melody.
She passed and was swallowed up in the
smother almost as quickly as she had ap-
peared. In less than an hour her passengers
would be disembarking at sheltered pier,
totally oblivious that they had passed within
a stones throw of small battered schooner
with torn sails, clawing itself off a lee shore.
Captain Blair butted his head into the gale,
watching the beacon He was holding his own.
He Stacked off little The Orion shot forward
under the increased pressure from aloft. Down
the wind she went with the gale screaming
through her tortured rigging
She cleared the last point on the Jersey
shore with the undertow clutching at her keel,
and passed the light ship with less than city
block to spare.
A tug spoke to her in the Narrows, and
Captain Blair took their heaving line and.
with the aid of the boy, pulled their hawser
aboard.
Pier w, East River'' he sang out
1T was mighty decent of you to turn back
for us, Captain" the boy said in a low
tone "Ill never forget what you've done
for U.S."
Captain Blair started guiltily. He had the
curious illusion of soft laughter - Martha's
- shaken from the pauses of the wind as he
stared aloft at the pounding staysails.
In the grey dawn the tug nosed the Orion
to her berth. O'keefe. the night watchman,
came aboard just as Blair was running the
doctor flag up under the main gaf.
O'Keefe's face was question mark.
Slipped my moorings and drifted down the
bay ways" said Blair, squirting at the pen
nant fluttering at the gaff.
"Wot happened3" O'Keefe asked. "'The
little lady ahead of timer"
The skipper shook his head.
'On time to the dot" he said. "Its boy"
