, teen minutes later he went down to 300 feet and found break in the cloud bank. But the rain was still pouring down.
 They brought him another mes sage:
 "The U. s. s. Mississippi is com- ing in on the radioI They're call- ingI"
 Ted parked orders now. "Get the Midway Station and triangu- late. Find our position and we'll ride the beam in."
 The crew was jubilant. The navi- gation officer was at work, finding his position on the improvised beam" It was not as accurate as the direction finder, but it might work in this emergency.
 The navigation officer located" the Mariner, in short order. She was flying in tangent toward the island, and they were almost over- head!
 Ted's uncanny navigation had brought them straight to the is- land. He had felt his way through the storml
 But when he went down to 500 feet again he found the ceiling low and took the ship back out to sea. Ted knew approximately where they were, but he couldn't land in the bay. He circled about and went down to 300 feet and back up again. The ceiling was lifting.
 He glanced at the fuel tank and made a decision to wait.
 A message came through. "NO SIGNALS, BUT YOU HAVE CIR- CLED TWICE OVERHEAD AND GONE BACK TO SEA. IS FUEL HOLDING OUT? LIGHTS AND FLAMES ON LAGOON. CAN YOU COME IN? CEILING LIFT ING"
 Ted kept his face sternly to the l task. There was no use taking a chance when they were so close to safety. He came down to 300 feet above the surface and asked for his position on the triangle. The ceiling was still too low. But sud- denly his face was set in a grim expression and he decided to ride i the improvised beam" in. Tiny beads of precipitation popped out on his forhead. His eyes were glued to the instru- ments. Two hundred feetl One hundred and eighty feet, One hundred and fifty feet! A cry from the navigation sight, hatch treasured him. One hun dred feet!
 Suddenly, before the eyes of every crew member and passenger, there burst forth the glare of search lights and flares over the black lagoon. Ted's eyes swept the black fronds of the palms as he leveled of, and brought the ship down in calm, familiar waters.
 Midway Island! Uncle Sam's outpost in the middle of the Pa cific Ocean.
 Its silver hull throwing up spray the giant flying boat settled in the waters and the sheltered lagoon and sped along the surface. toward the lighted docks, while overhead the dense fog lay and lightning flashed.
 Passengers cried out with joy and tears welled in Rays eyes as she went forward toward Ted Suddenly she saw Illah, standing with hand to her throat.

Iilahs advanced n1enacingly to- ward the two ships officers, pistol ir hand. "Go into the cockpit" she or fiered Ted and the navigation officer moved backward, followed by Kay.
 The flight crew was taken com pletely unaware Busy at theil tasks, the men hadn't sensed any thing amiss in the chart room. Int radio officer looked up and, al FIIah's command, he, to, arose with his hands over his head.
 4The other men stayed at theil posts, but Illah's calmly wordec warning appraised them of the sit uetion.
 .aTake it easy" Ted said. Don't leave your posts, at any event and keep on the charted course. Over a shoulder, he said to the engineer, Flows the fuel going Mac?"
 The, officer glanced at the fuel instruments. Good for 400 miles more. That's all.
 q am not afraid to die," Illaf replied. "But give me the plans for the gyropilot. Quickly!" Hel black eyes roved over the tablt where the drawings were tacket with pushpins to a board. Sht snatclIed up the drawings, scanned them briefly, expertly. " '
 If the ship doesn't weather the etorm," Ted asked, what good will those do you?"
 For reply Illah brandished the automatic in the radio officers face. She gave a call number aGet in contact with that station immediately" she said "It's pearling schooner, anchored al Wake Island"
 The radio officer sat down anc tapped out the call on the sending set. After a moment he said seThey don't answer"
 s"You lie!"
 -zThe radio officer glanced at Teo who nodded. Don't give her any trouble" he said. 'The lives o1 10 passengers are in our hands We've got to save the ship if we can. The gyropilot is-my loss."
 The radio officer protested. But I tell you they don't answer. Since you know the position of the ship though, I can broadcast the mes sage on the wave-length. They'll get it." ...........
 Illah smiled. "That is good That is fate. Send the message at once."
 with one eye on the assembled crew she translated a code mes- sage in rapid-fire staccato. The radio officer began sending the message, 8 procedure that lasted five minutes.
 When he had finished, Illah shrugged her shoulders. T die, she said, Knowing my work is well done. I am 8 mystic. I am not afraid"
 Slowly she gathered her white wells about her and walked back into the passenger compartment No one tried to stop her. She sal down in her chair and closed her eyes. Her lips moved in prayer which only the Chinese merchant and the English explorer under stood.

 YOUR SIGNALS HAVE FAD ED OUT. ARE YOU OFF COURSEP HONLULU SAYS YOU ARE LOST. WHAT'S WRONG WITH RADIO COM PASS? STORM FADING OVER ISLAND. VISIBILITY IMPROV- ING"
 Ted's eyes shone with renewed hope. He went to radio officer for 8 new report.
 'The messages are coming in stronger" the officer said. we can't be far from Midway"
 If we can only find the lagoon on the island Ted said hopefully We can't come down in the open sea with waves piling 30 feet high over the reefs"
 Then he came back to Kay. He called her into the crew compart- ment where they could be alone Kay" he said, q simply want you to. know that I trust you, and have always trusted you. I don't want things unsaid to come be- tween us ever. Whatever hap pens"
 She faced him, tears in her eyes "Oh, Ted! Nothing can happenP
 He went on, T want you tc know that I love you. Since I met you there has never been another girl. I meet lot of women like Illah but I love you more than ever now. There is nothing I can do to prove that love now"
 "But, Ted, in a thousand ways during the past hour," she said you have proved your love foI me. I only wish there was some thing I could do-"
 "You are here," he said. "That's proof enough You came to pro- tect me, to protect what was mine And if anything should happen
 Don't say it, Ted! Please! She clung to him.
 When Ted had gone back to his post he found another message from Midway:
 "NO SIGNALS FOR LAST HOUR. ARE YOU LOST OVER OCEAN? TRY TO SIGNAL BAT TLESEIP U. s. s. MISSISSIPPI ALTITUDE 19 DEGREES t MINUTES NORTH AND LONGI. TUDE 167 DEGREES 30 MIN UTES EAST"
 "The messages are coming ir strong now" the radio officer said we can't be more than a hundred miles away from Midway. I'm try. ing to reach the Mississippi"
 Ted glanced at the fuel instru' ments. Though the head wind. had cut down their speed to les. than 90 miles an hour there wa! still more than enough fuel to takt them in. .....
 But we can't do much. circling, Ted said anxiously. we've got tt locate the island without 8 direc' tion finder now"
 He and the navigation officer took up their positions on thu bridge. The latter looked at tn instruments and then said, "This 1 one time the human element wil have to take the place of the ma chine.

 No sooner had Ted taken tn controls that the radio officer cam with another message. Ted opened the throttles of the four 800- horse power engines and ordered the en gineer to change the propellel pitch. They were steadily increas ing speed.
 He scanned the message. "NC SIGNALS YET. ARE YOU LOST OVER OCEAN? STORM LIFT ING. CHANGING HIGH PRES SURE AREA. CEILING 30 FEET" t..

WHOLESALE INDEX
AT RECOVERY PEAK
Fertilizer Association Finds
Average at 80.4 Per
Cent Level.

The upward trend Of commodity
prices was again resumed in the week
ending September IL, with the index
compiled by the National Fertilizer
Association moving up to the highest
point yet reached in the price recov-
cry, which began in the Spring Of
1888.
This index last week was 804 per
cent Of the 1868 average, compared
with 1877 in the preceding week, 80.3,
the previous high point, a month ago
and 77.9 year ago.
Although the rise In the all-com-
modify index was due largely to higher
prices for foods, cotton and grains,
the general trend Of prices was up
ward, with seven Of the principal group
indexes advancing and none declining.
The index of food prices at 1871 per
cent of the 1868 average was at
the highest level reached since last
December; 20 items included in this
group rose in price last week, while
only seven declined.
Rising prices for cotton and grains
failed to raise the farm product index
to the level that was reached last
month; lower quotations for hogs
helped to Offset the upward movement
in other farm products.
Textile prices advanced last week
under the leadership of cotton and
cotton textiles, following the publica-
tion Of the Government September
cotton crop estimate.
A continued rise in the price of steel
scrap together with an advance in tin
quotations took the metal index to a
new high peak for the recovery period.
An advance in lumber prices was re-
sponsible for slight increase in the
building material index A small rise
in the fertilizer material index to the
highest point reached this year was
brought about by a So advance in the
price Of cottonseed meal.
