FOR years, sailors had known that when the cook threw greasy wa'er overboard, the water became calm, but not until the time of Ben.amm Franklin was it known why this should be. Franklin reached the conclusion that the oily film on the water lessened the friction of the wind on the surface. • • • MJII-.Uow was the Shasta daisy produced?

Vincount sighed and folded A up his father's letter rather carefully. “He's a deuced o!d Roman, of course,’’ said he, “and yet—!” Here the Viscount turned, and slipped the letter back under his pillow with a hand grown suddenly gentle. “But ! there you are, Bev! Not a word about money—so downstairs Bristles must continue to sit until—” “If,” said Barnabas diffidently, “if you would allow me to lend—” “No, no, Bev —though I swear it’s uncommon good of you. But really I couldn't allow it. Besides, Jemingham owes me something. I believe, at least, if he doesn’t he did, and it's all one anyway. I sent the Imp over to hiln an hour ago: he’ll let me have it, I know. Though I thank you none the less, my dear fellow, on my soul I do! But—oh deuce take me—you’ve nothing to drink! what will you take —?” “Nothing, thanks, Dick. Asa matter of fact, I came to ask you a favor—” “Granted, my dear fellow!” “I want you to ask Captain Siingsby to introduce me to Jasper Gaunt.” “Ah?” said the viscount, coming to his elbow, “you mean on behalf of that—” “Os Barrymainp, yes.” “It's—it’s utterly preposterous!” fumed the viscount. • So you said before. Dick/ “You mean to—go on with it?” “Os course!” “You are still determined to befriend a—” “More than ever, Dick.” “For—Her sake?” “For her sake. Yes, Dick,” said Barnabas, banning to frown a little. “I mean to free him from Gaunt, and rescue him from Chichester—if I can.” ’ But Chichester is about the only friend he has left, Bev.” “On the contrary, I think Chichester is his worst enemy.” a a a INSTALLMENT SIXTY-FOUR "RUT— my dear fellow’! Chiches--13 ter is the only one who has stood by hipi in his disgrace, though why, I can't imagine.” “I think I can tell you the roa- ! son, and in one word,” said Barnabas. his face growing blacker. “Well, Bev—what is it?” “Cleone!” The viscount started. “What—you think—? Oh, impossible ! The fellow would never have a chance, she despises him. I know.” “And fears him, too, Dick.” “Fears him? Gad! what do you mean, Bev?” “I mean that, unworthy though he may be. she idolizes her brother.” “Half-brother, Bev.” “And for his sake, would sacrifice her fortune —ah; and herself!” “Well?” “Well, Dick. Chichester knows this, and is laying his plans accordingly.” “How?” “He's teaching Barryniaine to drink, for one thing—” “He didn't need much teaching, Bev.” “Then, he has got him in his power—somehow or other, anyhow, Barrymame fears him, I know. When the time conies, Chichester means to reach the sister through her love for her brother, and—i before he shall do that, Dick—” Barnabas threw up his head and clenched his fists. “Well. Bcv?” “I'll—kill him, Dirk.” “You mean—fight him, ot course?” “It would be all one,” said BarI nabas grimly. “And how do you propose to—go about the matter—to save Barry - maine?” “I shall pay off his debts, first of all.” “And then?” “Take him away with me.” (To Be Continued)

When Tarzan approached the captive closer, he saw in the diminishing firelight that the man's • eyes were regarding him with level, though questioning gaze. The ape-man signaled silence, as, kneeling, he cut the thongs from the prisoner's WTists and ankles.

Helping the stranger to his feet, for the man was numb from the tight thongs, Tarzan beckoned him to follow. All would have been well but for Numa the lion. At this moment either to voice his anger at the fire or to stampede the horses, the lion roared.

So close was the lion that the sudden shattering of the night's stillness awakened the camp. A dozen men seized their match-locks and leaped from their shelters. In the dying firelight they saw no lion; but they saw their liberated captive and Tarzan beside him.

One shifts. Tarzan had encountered the day before. The fellow instantly recognized the bronzed white giant. He shouted to his companions, loudly, "It is he—the white demon who killed our brothers today.” "Kill.him! Kill them both!” screamed the leader.
