BEGIN HEBE TODAY Godfrey Comet tends his son, Ned, an a voyage to northern Canada and Alaska to exchange two thousand silk and velvet gowns with the Indians for fine furs. The profits are to be split 75-25, the lion's share to Ned. Eight persons go on the voyage. With Ned Is his fiancee, Lenore Harden worth, and her mother. Mrs. Hardenworth. Bess Gilbert goes as seamstress. Captain Knutzen is assisted by McNab and Forest. As the weather grows colder much discomfort is felt by the Hardenworth women, who have come unsuitably clothed for a sea voyage. Bess has plenty of warm clothing to protect her from the co'd. Mrs. Hardenworth objects to eating at the same table with the seamstress. Bess avoids the three aristocrats. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY I*,. , HE bottles were greeted with shouts of delight. Ned went * * Immediately to the sideboard and procured half a dozen glasses. "All hands partake tonight,” he explained. "It's going to be a real party.” He mixed whlsky-and-sodae for Lenore and Mrs. Hardenworth; then started to make the rounds of the crew with a bottle and glasses. He did not, however, waste time offering any to Bess. The latter had already evinced an Innate fear of it, wholly apart from sentimentality and non sense.

THE STORM MET THE TWO ADVENTURERS WITH A YELL. But Ned found plenty of customers for his whisky. McNab, at th c wheel, wished him happy days over two Angers of straight liquor In the glass, and Knutsen, his pale eyes gleaming, poured himself a staggering portion. “Go ahead,” Ned encouraged him, when the seaman apologized for his greediness. “The sky's the limit tonight.” And Forest, in the engineroom, and Julius, in the kitchen, absorbed a man’s size drink with right good will. Ned was able to make the rounds again before the call for dinner, and the attitude of his guests was changed In but one instance, McNab seemed to be measuring his liquor with ex ceeding care. He was a man who knew his limits, and he apparently did not intend to overstep them. He took a small drink, but Knutsen, his ?u perior, consumed as big a portion as before. It was an elated, spirited trio that sat down at the little table In the sa loon. Not one of them could ever re member a happpier mood. Julius served the dinner with a flourish; and they had only laughter when a sud den lurch of the craft slid the sugai bowl off the table to the floor. “Hello, the ship’s drunk, too,” Ned commented gaily. They were really in too glad a mood to see anything, but sport in the suddenly rocking table. The truth

Alabama Mayor Says Tanlac Restored His Health.

// : ... : m wm '

Judge G. W. Thomason, Mayor of Tarrant City, Alabama, widely known and highly esteemed pioneer citizen, recently gave his unqualified endorsement to the Tanlac treatment. - “Chronic indigestion brougb/. me to the verge of a general breakdown three years ago,” said Judge Thomason, “and nothing seemed to afford much relief- I was eating scarcely enough to keep going on, and food stayed in my stomach like a rpck, causing pain and extreme nervousness. Sleep was often impossible, and I gradually weakened sp I could hardly attend to my office duties. ’ "The first bottle of Tanlac improved my appetite and digestion wonderfully, my nervousness disappeared and I rested better at night. Bach successive bottle gave added impetus to my returning strength, and I felt ten years younger when I finished the sixth bottle a short tim4 later. Tanlac gave me new zest in life that still remains with me.” Tanlac is for sale by all good druggists. Accept no substitute. Over 3? million bottles sold.

was that the wind had suddenly sprung into a brisk gale, rolling heavyseas and bobbing the little craft about like a cork. Ned made his way through the gale that swept the deck, and procured Lenore's and Mrs. Hardenworth's heaviest coats. He noticed as he passed that Bess had sought refuge in the engine room. Ned waved to her, then returned to his guests. The room was already noticeably colder, not so much from the drop in temperature—a thermometer would have still registered above freezing —as from the chilling, penetrating quality of the wind that forced an entrance as if through the ship’s seams. There was no opportunity to make comment before Knutsen lurched into the room. “It’s tough, isn’t it?” he commented. “Mr. Cornet, I want another shot of dat stuff before I take de wheel.” Ned, not uninfluenced by his cups, extended the bottle with a roar of laughter. “You know what’s good for you,” he commented. “Where's McNab? Let him have one, too.” “He's still at de wheel, but I don’t think he’d care for one. He’s a funny old wolf, at times. Mrs. Hardenworth, how' do you like dis weat'er?” “I don't like it very well.” She held fast to the slipping table. “Os course, you'd tell us If there was any danger—” "Not a bit of danger. Just a squall. This isn’t rougtr—you ought to see what it would be outside this chain of islands. But it’s mighty chilly.” He poured the stiff drink down his great throat, then buttoned his coat tight. Ned, for a moment secretly appalled by the storm, felt his old recklessness returning. “There's only three or four shots left in this bottle.” he said, holding up the second of the two quarts he had taken from the case. "You'd better have one more with us before you go. A man burns up lots of whisky without hurting him any on a night like this. Then take the bottle in with you to keep you tearm at the wheel.” Knutsen needed no second urging. He was of a race that yields easily to drink, and he wanted to conquer the last, least little whisper of his fear of the night and the storm. He orank once more, pocketed the bottle. then made his way to the pilot house. "You’re not going to try to ride her through?*’ McNab asked, as he yielded,the wheel. - “Os course. You’re lot afraid of a little flurry like dis.” McNab stared into hts glittering *yes. and for a moment his lips were tightly compressed. “This Isn't a little flurry,” he answered at last coldly. “It’s a young gale, and God knows what it will be by morning You know and I know we shouldn’t attempt things here that we can do with safety in waters we’re familiar with. Right now we can run into the lea of Ivan Island and find a harbor. There’s a good one just south of the point.” “We’re not going to run into Ivan Island. I want to feel dry iand. We’re going to head on toward Tzar Island.” “You run a little more of that bottle down your neck and you’ll be heading us into hell. Listen. Capn.” McNab paused, deeply troubled. “You let me take the wheel, and you go in and celebrate with the party. You won’t do any damage then.” ~ “And you get back to your en eine and mind your own business.” iJttle angry points of light shot Into Nnutsen’s eyes. McNab turned to the door, where for a moment he stood listening to -he wild raging of the wind. Then he climbed down into the engine room.

There was nothing in his face, as he entered, to reveal the paths of his thought. He was wholly casual, wholly commonplace, seemingly not In the least alarmed. He stepped to Bess's side, half smiling. "I wonder if you can help me?” he asked. The girl stood up, a straight, athletic figure, at his side. "I'll try, of course.” "It depends—have you any Influence with young Cornet?” Bess slowly shook her head. "I'm afraid I can’t help you,” she told him, very gravely. "I have no influence with him at all. What Is it you wanted me to do?” I wanted you to tell him to put up the booze. Particularly, to keep the captain from getting any more." “There's only one way.” The girl's lips were close to his ear. else he couldn’t have heard In the roar of the storm and the flapping of the saijs. McNab looked at her as before now he had looked at wit! whom he had stood the watch. "Wha are you gettin’ at?” His voice was gruff, but it didn” offend her. She felt that they wen on common ground. “You know as well as I do. I prom ised his father before I left that I’d look after Ned. He was In earnest—and Need needs looking after now if he ever did. Mr. Cornet wdn't blame me, either. Show me how to get down in the hold.” McNab suddenly chuckled and pat ted her on the back with rough familiarity. yet with fervent companionship. “You’ve got the stuff,” he said. “But you lift them ajone I’m with you till the last dog is hung.” On the exposed deck the storm met the two adventurers with a yell. For the first time Bess knew Its full fury, as the wind buffeted her, and the shet swept like fine shot into her face. They clung to the railing, then fought their way to the hold. Hidden by the darkness and the eleet, no one saw them carry up the heavy liquor cases and drop them into the sea. The r.olse of the storm concealed the little sound they made Finally only two bottles remained, the last of a broken case. “You take one of those and ditch it in your room,” McNab advised. “I.’ll keep the other. There might come a time when we’ll find real need for ’em—as a stimulant for someone who is freezing.” “Take care of both of them,” Bess urged. “I'm not sura I could keep mine, if any one asked for it.”

“I don’t know about that. I believe I’d bet on you. And now it's lone—forget about It.” Soon they crept back along the eck. McNab to his work, Bess to >tr stateroom. They had all but encountered Ned .1 his way to the hold. His bottles ere empty, and the desire for strong rink had not left him yet. In the lark ness under the deck he groped •lindly for his cases. : They seemed to evade him. Breathing hard, he sought a match, scratchng it against the wall. Then he stared In dumb and Incredulous ■ stonishment. His stock of liquor was gone. Not even the cases were left. Thinking that perhaps some shift in the position of the stores had concealed them, he made a moment’s frantic inarch through the hold. Then, raging like a child, and in imminent danger of slipping oh the perilous deck, ne rushed to the pilot house. “Captain, do you know what became of my liquors?” he demanded. "I can’t And them in the hold.!’ “Os course I don’t know anything about ’em—but I'll help you Investigate In the morning,” Knutsen answered. “I’m very sorry. Mr. Cornet —that It should happen aboard tny ship.’ “To hell with your ship! I’m going to investigate tonight.” Ned started out. but he halted in th® doorway, arrested by a sudden suspicion. Presently he whirled and made his way to Bess' stateroom. He knocked sharply on the door. Bess opened it wide. Then for a long second he stared Into her deepblue, appealing eyes.
