 The captain nodded. "The life down where you are going is not the kind of civilization you know, he told Allison heavily, Tt Is filled with many such incidents as you saw tonight"
 And if you go iainting at every sight of roughness," Barry cut in dryly, you can see for yourself you're not suited"
 T didn't faint till the danger was past" Allison reminded him belligerently. That's fine way to pooh pooh me after I saved your life"
 I'm going to thank you for that later, Barry said grimly, Right now I don't want you to get a heroine complex and think one lucky incident fits you for jungle Nfe."
 Allison dropped back into her pillows with a grimace at Barry. She said to the captain, Some times I think could love that man. But sometimes he just bores me-"
 Barry was studying his wrist watch in the fiickering light of her candle. "You have just IS min- utes to pack before the boat sails" he said steadily.
 DO IF" She lay watching his determined face with languid humor, making no move. She saw the urgent command slowly fade out and stern resignation take it's place. He turned and went to the door, to spin around for last bit- ter word.
 "All right. Go into the jungle! But I hope to God what you haven't got in that pretty, friv- olous head of yours you've got in your hide" he shouted.
 "You mean guts," she said cheerfully. Well, who knows?"
 The door slammed after Barry.

 The captain looked more alarmed, "Oh," he said. He's alive, But of course, he's alive"
 Thanks" said Alison, She went on laughing, Sorry to be so inquisitive, but when left him"
 At that moment, Barry's figure darkened her cabin door. His face was bruised and swollen, one eye was black and his coat sleeve stlll hung in ribbons, but he looked all in one piece. And he could grin at her.
 Now what are you laughing about2" he accused.
 You she said graphically. T couldn't call you handsome now" The rubber men crowded in after Barry, and the elderly light house keeper brought in his first- aid kit to see If Allison, too, needed treatment,

 AS Barry strode along the dark decA. his anger at Allison faded under o strange, rising apprehension efe was in 0 state of tingling alert ness when her scream rang out With the first sound he whirled, lodging.
 The instinctive side movement saved him. AS the dark form of Inc native catapulted against him, llurllng him to the deck, the swift V rescending knife slid harmless ly through his coat sleeve, barely graxing his arm. For a hidcous second while the breath was knocked out of him, he felt the knife being ripped loose for an- other plunge, But control re- turned and he grabbed the natives arm midway in its vicious down ward jab. Instantly the dark giant reached his other hand for Barry's throat. Barry twisted free and they went into a grim, rolling light.
 Allison stood frozen. her screams strangled into breathless terror as the two litheb odies writhed and strained across the shadowy deck before her. Then she caught the Eleam of the knife still in the natives strong grip, waiting - waiting for that one fatal instant when Barry's desperate restrain lng hold relaxedl Fury flowed through her, bringing strength, She ran forward with a sobbing scream.
 "Barryl Kill him, Barryl"
 Just below her now was the cruel black face of the native With fastidious loathing she closed her eyes and began beating it with her fists.
 "Hey!"
 She opqened her eyes. The native had twisted over and she was beating Barry's head She drew back, gasping. She saw that Bar rvs teeth were gritted with a hard last effort, his hand being forced slowly down the huge black arm that was relenntlessly raising the knife over his back! She drew herself with a scream upon that murderous, hairy hand. Her teeth sang with frantic viciousness into the flesh of the huge black wristl
 She heard Barry's yell and tn lul clank of metal on wood at the same instant. She leaped up grabbed the knife from the deck and ran to the rail to htrow 1t overheard. Then she whirled back but she could see nothing of the lighters-nothing but blackness. A deep surging void rose to engulf her.

THERE'S a FATHER

There's a certain father in Ell Centre
whose step is light, and whose face wears
a serene and benevolent complacency. We
know he has certain worries and busl-
ness problems, and wondered what oc-
Cured to lift his spirit above these world
~ cares.
We found ou, lie drew the answer
from his pocket in the form of worn
and much handled envelope. Inside was
a letter from his 26-year-Old, married son.
On the occasion of Mothers Day, that
grown man had barred his heart to his
mother and dad and probably IN his
whole life he had never before made
people so happy.
This son confessed his love in no mine
ing of words. in complete filial candor -.
81 won't be long before I get to see the
most wonderful mother in the world" =.
"after being away from you so long | see
things a lot different :. Dad, there
were SO many times when | got up IN the
air over nothing and | was in the wrong
all the time" q want to thank both
of my folks for being the wonderful par
ents they have been to me- as | see
it now, YOU folks have never been wrong;
it is | who have been wrong SO much
and | want to ask forgiveness for all the
things that ] have said and done to hurt
each of you.
The son is an executive and depart

plane plant He's an up-and-coming
young man with a future But he does
not hesitate to look across a thousand
miles and confess his former shortcom-
ings to his Mother and his Dad.
SO Mothers Day does pay dividends
in big way. If other sons could only
understand what this kind of love and
esteem and affection means to the older
folks, probably the number of those to
receive this type Of dividend which tran
scends dollars and cents would be dou
