Pettigre,v Wishes Dick
Good Luck in Future

Jordan was more astonished than
ever. Pettigrew was cycling him as
a man, and not as an officer Of the
law; he even placed a hand famil-
iarly on one shoulder.
"We're just man to man now, Jor-
dan," he added. "We're not going
to leave this ship together-can't,
you know-captain's orders. You 60
your way, and l go mine. If we
meet again-on shore-I'n pinch
you. It's my duty. But just now
we're - Well" laughing quietly,
friends, I guess. don't mind call
ing you that. / wish you good luck!
If you reach shore and I don't wish
wish,
Dick never knew what he intend
ed to wish, for at that moment the
harsh, grating voice of the first mate
interrupted, and Jordan tumbled
into one boat and Hen Pettigrew
into another.
Almost instantly they were sep
arated in the blackness Of the night.
Dick was free, in truth, then-not
on probation. He had the whole world
to roam so long as he didn't run
afoul of Hen Pettigrew. AS they
drifted through the darkness of the
night, he smiled broadly, while the
others sat and moaned or spoke in
awed, frightened voices. Would
they ever reach land? How far were
they from the nearest shore? That
was the burden Of their converse
ton.
At first an effort was made to
keep the boats together, but this
was soon abandoned by the seamen.
There was always the danger Of

T,vo-Masted Lugger
HOues in Sight

AS the boat drew nearer, Dick
made out its nondescript character
from it's sails. A two-masted lug
ger, quite common in the Caribbean
for fishing and coasting, with lump
ish hull and widowed canvas, spot
ted like the coat Of leopard, it
stopped along in the rough seas as
if unwillingly propelled by a power
that it could not resist.
Long before any one aboard sight
ed Dick Jordan, he had studied the
craft from stem to keel with greedy,
anxious eyes, taking in everything
from the clumsily bent top-sails to
the ill-fitting jib that was forever
shifting in the wind.
Fishermen" he concluded,
speaking his thoughts aloud. 81 can't
be far from land"
A moment later, when the lugger
acted as if about to change her
course, he raised his free hand and
shouted with all the strength he
could muster. Even at that dis
ance, it seemed almost miraculous
that they heard or saw him; but
keen eyes had been scanning the
sea closely, looking for just such
derelicts. It was their business to
pick up f1otsam and jetsam of the
ocean on the chance of finding q
prize.
His cry brought several black
faces to the port rail, and Jordan's
former conclusion that the lugger
was a native fishing craft seemed
confirmed by the appearance of the
crew. They were swarthy Caribs,
an ancient type weakened and di-
luted by the blood of pure Negroes.
A burly half-breed, with the white
part of him showing in his straight
hair and notified complexion,
seemed to be in command, for the
order came from him to heave the
lugger up in the wind and lower
a boat.
Twenty minutes later Dick sat on
the dirty, ill-smelling deck of the
vessel, greedily eating and drinking
food and liquid that under ordinary
circumstances would have repealed
him; but natures cravings had to
be satisfied, and it was no time to
be critical. The crew formed a
half circle around him, with Captain
Tucu, the half-breed skipper, and
Black Burley, the lugger's mate, in
the immediate foreground. They
were inspecting him with something
more than curiosity-with greed
and righteousness, Dick thought,
but he could not exactly translate
it in words.
Captain Tucu had an evil, sinister
face that in repose was hard and
sullen, as if the white blood in him
was silently protesting the injustice
of the trick played in mingling negro
with it; in action it lighted up with a
fierceness Of either joy or anger
that had an element of the fanatics.

A Handful of Shrimp
ReuiUes VII to Liue

1t saved his life-the shrimp and
the game! By the time he had
scavenged the mass of seaweed,
robbing it of every form of life that
could be called food, his mind was
clearer through the functioning of
his digestive organs, and the will to
live and fight it out fiared up again.
But the handful of raw shrimps
had, after all, been mere morsel
to a starving man, and the salt of
them, which had tasted good at first,
was beginning to intensity his thirst.
He had been fortunate in securing
rain water for the first three days,
but the last of it was gone, and the
agony of thirst was beginning to add
to the tortures of an empty stom-
ach.

began, and then stopped. Insanity

for sail so long that his eyes were
sore and unsteady; he had prayed
for it until in frenzy of disappoint-

had hoped and longed for the sight
Of ship until he had seen them in
his dreams-a dozen of them-sail-

waking moments. There had been

headlands, Of towns and cities, of
people walking their streets. They
had come and gone until the be-
fuddled brain was at odds with it.

been few others of the passengers

alongside the officers to maintain
order and system.
One of them was Pettigrew-Hen
Pettigrew-whose whole life and
training made him immune to fear
and excitement. Hen had distin-
guished himself in that melee, as he
always did, and won the approval
of the captain.
Early in the confusion they had
separated-Hen Pettigrew and Dick
Jordan-for the exigency of the mo-
ment severed all conventional
bonds. Dick had been allowed to go
his own way, free as any other pas
senger; but he knew, or felt, that
the others eyes were on him, watch
ing that he didn't slip into one Of
the boats filed mostly with women
and children. He had an unpleas-
ant sensation that he was still being
watched as a criminal. The vigil
lance of the law never relaxed-not
even in the panic Of shipwreck.

Pop-Since when were mems

Nom - Jumpers, not overalls,

POp-They look more like mems
overalls than mems overalls do.
And why the shirt-tails outside,
that's what I wanna know?
Mom-Oh, don't take it so seri-
ously. All the young girls are dress
ing that way.
POp-What for? What's wrong
with the idea of girl looking sweet
and dainty? What's so awful about
her looking a little feminine?
Mom-I think the kids today
look rather cute.
POp-Bah! If Prunella is cute in
those slop-ins and mans diversified
shirt, so is the Witch of Windsor.
She had three kids with her all
dressed the same. They look to me
as if they were waiting for broom
ride. Where do they get these
screwball ideas?
Mom-You're being old-fashioned.
I don't know why Prunella wears
her shirttail outside but it prob
ably is just reflection of the de-

D0GS FOR SCOUT SERVICE ROUNDED
 UP FOR INFANTRY

HEADQUARTERS ALASK DEPARTMENT-The Army is mo- bilizing new generation of dogs for scout service with the infantry.
 Long-range plans contemplate Scout Dog Platoons available for assignment to Infantry divisions but the initial organization will consist of four platoons of 27 dogs each. These are now stationed at Camp Campbell, Kentucky; Fort Bragg, North Carolina Fort Lewis, Washington; and Fort Riley, Kan sas.
 Of the 20,000 canines whose ser vices were donated by civilians for the duration of the war nearly all have been detrained and returned 10 their owners hy the Quarter master Corps. Some younger vet erans will remain with the Army to form the nucleus of the new pro- gram.
 Except for sledge dogs used in AL aska and with the North Atlantic Wing, the peace-time program will be limited to training dogs for scout service. Only male German Shepherds will be utilized. They must not be younger than one year nor older than -anda- half years when accepted. The Quarter master Corps is now purchasing animals that meet the rigid Army specifications.
 During the war different breeds were used for sentry, scout, mes senger and other types of service. Besides the German Shepherds they included Belgian Sheep dogs, Dcberman Pinschers, Collies (farm- type), and Schnauzers. Experience showed that while all of these breeds had valued qualities, the German Shepherds were superior for scout work because of their in relligence, durability, and size.
 An intensive eight-weeks adyanc- cd training course for instructors in dog training was recently com pleted at the Aleshire Quartermast- CT Depot (remoun0 at Front Royal, Virginia. The cadremen who re- ceived this instruction will be in charge of training dogs and hand lers assigned to the various pla- Ioons.
 The program will be continuous so that new handlers will be avail able to replace those leaving the Army upon completion of their terms of enlistment. Thus the Army expects to have an ever-growing reserve of trained handlers that would be available in cases of emer- gency. Under the present program the Quartermaster Corps plans to acquire 30 German Shepherd dogs a year to meet replacement require rents.
