junpl"
 Irvoluntarily Kay drew back from the rail.
 "Go into the pilot house and start the enginel"
 Startled, she turned to look at the cabin porthole from which the unfamiliar. voice had come. In the shadows she saw a thin face below which was the point of revolver.
 Do what I tell you," her assail- ant advised.
 r':-antic with fright, Kay did not dale to call out to Melita and Priscilla on shore. She realized in sudden panic that, any moment, the man could fire at her friends from the cruiser. That voice might well be the voice of fanatic or a mad man.
 Almost in a daze she went for ward, using the hand-rail atop the cabin and expecting every second to be shot as she attempted to obey the mans orders.
 Just do what I told you" the voice came to her again. "I'll stay here. I don't want your friends to see me just yet"
 Kay slid onto the forward deck and lifted the anchor. Then, inside the pilot house, she started the en- zine. The little Chinook" began to move forward. Now the sound of the motor drifted shoreward, and p1.ica aON to their feet.
 Ignoring their startled cries, Kay gave the boat full speed, praying that she could get out of range be- fore the mad stowaway harmed the puzzled girls on shore. Poor PrisSy and Me! Kay thought. They're sure to believe I'm leaving them in the lurch!
 Pulling the wheel hard over, she attempted to veer away from the island and out into more open waters. But this strategy quickly came to nothing when the voice in- structed from the cabin, Keep on the course you had!"
 Trembling in every fiber of her young body, Kay obeyed. "W-what do you want me to do-and who are you?" she called.
 There was no answer. No sound at all except the low throb of the engine and the pleasant fall of water away from the bow. Kay did not speak again. And, remember ing the face and the ominous barrel of that revolver, she kept the little ship forging ahead.
 
 Ashore, Melita and Priscilla, for getting the danger they had ina gined as being sonlwehere in the wood, stared sghast at the swiftly receding stern of the Chinook"
 For a moment neither could speak; and then Melita said, in 8 queer, low voice, That's not like Kay. She wouldn't leave us here when trouble popped up."
 Not unless she had a alarmed good reason. But can't understand it. There was no one else aboard the boat, and" Priscilla stopped suddenly. Then, white-faced, she tugged at Melita's sleeve. "Melita! i! There was somebody aboard with Kay! Look at those footprints of the man who damaged our dinghy. They come down. from. the wood, but they don't go back to it!"
 Melita stared at the marks on the wet sand. "Hcw could we have

CHAPTER VIII

Filled with dismay and fright, the three girls regarded the jagged hole which had been chopped Through the bottom of the over turned dinghy. Footprints leading down to the boat from another part of the wood were plain, evidently made by a man wearing good sized outing shoe. In the excitement and fear of the moment, they failed to notice that the footprints did not lead away from the damaged dinghy. And lying near, its handle in the water, was a short and ugly ax with which the damage had evidently been done.
 There's nothing for us to do but to swim to the boat" Kay pointed out.
 Melita shook her head. ."I don't want to ruin this rifle. We've may need it badly. I'll stay here while { one of you swim to the Chinook and inflate the rubber life-raft. With that we can keep the rifle safe"
 "You won't be afraid to stay ashore?" Kay asked.
 "N-no, guess not"
 Kay turned to Priscillo. You stay here with her. Whoever our pleas ant friend may be, he'd probably be less likely to bother two of us. But keep your eyes on the wood. Hes probably watching us from back there somewhere.
 A confident, strong swimmer, Kay plunged into the water and started for the anchored cruiser. She did not look back to see the frightened Melita and Priscilla quaking on the sand, their wide eyes searching the trees and underbrush. They heard Rays rhythmic splashes grow fainter behind them-then all was sile1ce.
 ''Et might be a good idea" men, tioned Melita, If we got down be- hind the dinghy. He's probably got a gun, too, and he might take a shot at us before we can even see him." She dropped prone on the beach behind the inadequate shelter of the boat, and Priscilla followed suit.
 "'I-I hope it doesn't take Kay very long," said Priscilla in low voice.
 "It1l take her 10 or Is minutes to get the life-raft inflated with that hand pump. We'll just have ,tc sit tight-and pray"
 D.
 As Kay reached the Chinook '' and pulled herself aboard she was relieved to see that Melita and Priscilla had taken up ambush be- hind the dinghy. She did not call to them realizing that this might put them in danger from an unseen watcher. She hoped fervently that the enemy might believe all three had reached the Chinook"
 To the practiced yachtsman, the preparation of the little rubber life raft would have been the work of a few moments. But Kay was both unnerved and unfamiliar with the equipment. It seemed to her that hours passed before she could even get 1t unfolded and attach the small bicycle pump with which to inflate 1t. She wished now that they had all come aboard, and not tried to keep the rifle. Her one idea was to get way from this strange and evil island as soon as humanly pos- sible.
 At last she had the raft inflated. from the after cockpit, was just Hurriedly she tossed 1t overheard from the after cockpit was just about to dine after it when quiet about suave voice said, Don't

Brain TWizzIers By Prof. ). D. Flint

All is not gold that glitters like gold or something like that. So it is with Twizzlers. Those which may seem impossible of solution or seem to lack sufficient material to work with are often found to bring an embarrassed and sheppish look to the giver-upper. Look out for this one or it'll get you that way.
 Murder in hospital Victim-a young and wealthy widow. Mis- cellaneous data: Victim died before giving name of murderer but man. aged to say, "He stabbed me with an operating knife after he had made advances and I said I would expose him." Doctors Goode, Badd and Faire were decided upon as only possible suspects.
 Disposition of suspects: Doctors Goode and Badd held, Doctor Faire released after official review of evidence.
 The problem in this Twizzler is to determine why Doctor Faire was released. The idea IS to find a definitely good and logical reason, knowing what you do from this in- formation.

 They felt no more helpless than Kay Dearborn, clutching the wheel of the little cruiser. While she stood there, wondering what was to be the next order from the voice below she was conscious of a presence at her back. She knew it was the man whose face she had seen at the porthole, and she dared not look around.
 He was in the pilot house now. She could hear the dripping of his wet clothes on the floor.
 "Are you giving her full speed2"
 Kay nodded.

THE Scourge of slavery rose to
 plague the British protectorate of Sierra Leone in Africa just 10 years ago in a case strikingly parallel to Americas pre-Civil War history. Most Britons sup- posed that no such thing as slav. cry existed anywhere under the Union Jack.
 Two slave owners in the pro., tectorate had recaptured some runaway slaves. The slaves promptly sued their masters, charging personal assault since force was used in their capture. They won in the first trial. Then the owners appealed to the Su- preme Court of the Colony of Sierra Leone. By vote of two to one the judges ruled that, slavs cry being still legal in the pro- tectorate, the masters had a right to use force in the capture of the runaways.
 News of the decision stunned British officials in London. Sir John Simon, then a member of Parliament, protested the decision. The protest spread and in a few weeks the Legislative Council of the protectorate passed a bill abolishing. slavery, effective Jan. l, 1928. Some 215,000 slaves were affected. Virtually all of them were owned by
