dow at the boil of water under the
stern. The desk was at her left, the
log book lying on the end of it.
After while, she looked down at
the book; and presently she lifted
it and turned the pages to the latest
entry. She read it, her eyes glanc-
ing along the lines.
"Hoakes Bay. Day began with
southwest wind and rain. Repairs
finished this morning. Captain Rich
ard Corr and Mate Peter Corr went
to shoot geese on shore while the
water casks were being filled. Cap
tain Corr descended to the south
beach and tried to club a sea lion.
The animal bit at him and it's tusks
fastened in his arm and it dragged
him into the sea. He was lost. Wind
came southeasterly in the afternoon,
giving us fair chance to make out
of the Bay. Will stop at Stanley to
set up new topmast and topgallant.
Rain squalls tonight. Corkran was
promoted to be second mate
Mary read and nodded slowly. AS
she conned the words, she seemed
to hear, far away, a family familiar
sound, not easily identified. She
tried to hear more plainly. Peter
had written this The capitals were
ornate, involved in sweeping curves,
and there were blotches where the
pen had pressed too hard, and the
letters staggered erratically up and
down. Peter had written this. 1t
was very different from the preced-
ing entries in Richards small, neat,
careful hand. Richards hand was
compact and firm, Peters large and
sprawling. Peter had written this.
What was it she seemed to hear?
Something heard long ago. Or seen
long ago. Peter had written this!
Peter!
Her eyes widened in a sudden
startled attention.
Once years ago Richard had writ
ten her a note, two or three lines,
brief, curt, cruel. "Wait till you
grow up. Don't be a silly little fool"
But Richard had written that note
the way Peter had written this en-
try in the log, in a sprawling hand,
the words struggling up and down,
the capitals ornate.
Suddenly she knew in a complete
and overpowering revelation that it
had been Peter, not Richard, who
wrote that cruel note long ago.
The log book snapped shut with a
sound so loud that George sat up,
staring at her, asking quickly:
What is it, Nary"
She asked in sharp whisper:
George, what made you think Rich
ard and l loved each other that
day."
Don't be unhappy about that. It's
all right"
NO." she insisted. "Tell me-"
She demanded acutely: George,
did Peter give you letter he said
I'd written to Richard?"

Five Men Proved Ready to
Profit by Judges Advice

A judge was pointing out that
witness was not necessarily to be
regarded as untruthful because he
altered a previous statement.
"For instance" he said, "when
| entered this court today could
have sworn that I had my watch
in my pocket. But then I remem-
bered l had left it in the bath
room at home"
When the judge got home that
night his wife said: "Why all this

U1LTS do not belong to any
" one period and there doesn't
seem to be the slightest Indication
that the old art of making them is
dying out. Most quilts today are
planned as bedSpreads and have a
color scheme to. harmonic with
other decorations. If a variety of
figured scraps are used in the
piecing, one dominant plain color
is generally repeated in each
block to give the design unity.
Again, one color is combined with
white throughout the entire quilt.
Some quilts have elaborate pieced
borders; others are finished with a
band of white with the dominant
color used as an edge binding. A
bias striped material makes the
binding of the quilt in the Whirl
Wind pattern shown here.
The beauty of any quilt is en-
HANGED if it is set off with a val

CHAPTER XVII

HE can't be-" Mary realized she
had spoken aloud, for their eyes
turned to her. "Richard can't be
dead, Peter"
He stood up angrily. II tell you
he is"
eve can go back and find him.
Pleased"
Peters face darkened, but he
spoke without heat, understanding
ly "I'm sorry, Mary. I know how
you always felt about Richard. But
feel worse than anyone. He was
my brother, wasn't he?" He looked
around at them all; he cried, as
if their eyes accused him: BLAST
it, l couldn't do anything! tell you
he's dead!" No one spoke. He came
to his feet, strongly. 81 want to get
away from here. This easterlys
what we need to get out of the Bay.
We might not get another for weeks.
We're leaving!"
No one denied him.
Peter said, his tone placating:
"Corkran, come on deck. I want a
word with YOU" Without waiting for
an assent, he turned abruptly into
the after cabin. Corkran went
through the steerage to ascend the
companion ladder there.
George put off Richards coat that
Tommy had given him and went to
his bunk to lie under blankets there.
She followed him, her legs stiff and
wooden with the penetrating damp
and chill. Standing by the bunk she
could see through the small window
above it headland a mile away.
She watched the headland fall slow
ly behind; and she felt the heavier
seas outside the Bay begin to lift
the Venturer. She stood there long,
not moving, her eyes fixed on that
bluff which was gray through rain;
till presently they changed course,
brought the wind more abeam, and
the headland disappeared.
When Mary came into the main
cabin that night, Peter sat in Rich
ards place at the head of the ia
BILE. He told her that Corkran had
been appointed second mate The
mates had not yet come below. She
went to speak to George and found
him stronger than he had been, bent
on coming to be at table with them.
She sat on Peters right as she
had been on Richards right during
these weeks Of the voyage. Willie
Leeper had roasted one of the geese
shot that afternoon, had cooked it so
thoroughly the meat fell off the

bones at a touch. Peter served her
and George, and as Mat Forbes
joined them he served his own plate
and then Mats. When Corkran ap-
peared, a little uncertainty, Peter
heaped his plate; and he asked in
an agreeable tone:
"Do you know navigation, Mr..
Corkran?"
mo, SIR" -.
"Mr. Forbes can give you start
Better work on it," Peter smiled
grimly. "The Venturer's had hard

eyes, sir" Corkran assented in a
toneless voice. Peter looked at him
thoughtfully, but he said nothing.
There was little speech during that
meal.
"Dick was always hero to me-"
Peter said, half to himself. II
didn't think anything could happen
to him. He seemed so strong and
sure, and luck was always with him.
l almost went crazy, running up and
down that beach today" He rose,
shaking his head.
George and Mary followed him
into the common room, and George
lay down on the long bench there.
1t was still broad day in these high
ATTITUDES, but the small window gave
scant light. Peter lighted the. whale
oil lamps.

moment: 'tI'll go on deck and have

Tarpon Evoluting?

Scientists believe the tarpon
may be undergoing a strange evo-
luton. An examination of their air
bladders has shown large
amount of lung tissue, proving that
the fish are not entirely dependent
upon their gills for oxygen. This
may be the reason why they can
change from salt to fresh water
and vice versa. The tarpon is the
only fish that is known to have
passed through the canal, 40 miles
or so of which is fresh water.

 The following excerpts from the Lesson n-Sermon are taken from the Bible: These are the things that yc shall do; Speak ye every man the truth to his neighbor; execute the judgment of truth and peace in your gates. (Isaiah)
 From Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, by Mary Baker Eddy: The question, What is Truth, is answered by demonstra- tion-by healing beth disease and sin; and this demonstration shows that Christian healing confers the best health and makes the lest men.
 We can, and ultimately shall, so rise as to avail ourselves in every direction Of the supremacy of Truth over error, Life over death, and good over evil and this growth will go on until we arrive at the ful- ness of Gods idea, and no more fear that we shall be sick and die.

Dodge Says Price
Rise OF Domestic
Copper Unlikely

There is little possibility of an
increase in price of domestic
mined copper. according to Cleve-
land f. Dodge, vice president of
Phelps Dodge corporation.
Dodge said during an inspection
tour in Douglas this week that he
did not think the price of copper
would be increased because the
federal government could control
the price by importation of metal
from South America and stabiliz-
ing the market.
II see no immediate change in
the price of copper unless we
reach a point where there would be
a raise in the price of all COM
modities." Dodge said.
He said increased taxes for de-
fense purposes meant that most
companies would not show any
larger incomes than they are max
ing at present and added that any
further increase in taxes would
bring about less net income.
