A Man To His Mate By J. ALLEN DUNN COPYRIGHT BOBBS MERRILL CO.

“MEBBE A QUEEN!" Synopsis.—Loitering on the Ban Francisco water front, John Rainey, newspaper reporter, is accosted by a giant blind man, who asks Rainey to lead him aboard the sealing schooner Karluk. In the cabin they And Captain Simms and a man named Carlsen. Simms recognises the blind man, calling him Jim Lund. Lund accuses Simms of abandoning him, blind, on an ice floe, and denounces him. Simms denies the charge, but Lund refuses to be pactfled. He declares his intention of accompanying the Karluk on Its expedition north, where It is going in quest of a gold field which Lund has discovered. Peggy, Simms' daughter, is aboard, and defends her father. Carlsen, who is a physician, as well as first mate, drugs Rainey. Awaking from his stupor, Rainey finds himself at sea. Carlsen informs him he has been kidnaped. He offers Rainey a share of the gold, and Rainey is forced to declare himself satisfied. Lund gives him a brief account of a former expedition of the Karluk, tells him he distrusts Carlsen, and suggests a "partnership," Rainey to act as Lund’s "eyes." Rainey is made second mate. Captain Simms is ill and the navigation is entirely in the hands of Carlsen. At the latter's suggestion a shooting match Is staged and the seal hunters exhaust sheir ammunition. Carlsen shows his skill with the pistol and Lund does some astonishing shooting "by sound." 6andy the shop’s boy, is swept overboard and is<ffrescued by Rainey, who thus wins Peggy's admiration. The captain gets worse. Sandy tells how Carlsen is stirring up trouble over the division of the gold. Carlsen draws a gun on Rainey, who overpowers him. Tamada, the mysterious Japanese cook, declares himself neutral. Lund, his sight restored, kills Carlsen. Captain Simms dies. The hunters attack Lund, who has taken charge of the Karluk. They are beaten after a fierce fight

CHAPTER X—Continued. —lo— was a little surprised at this Show of thoughtfulness, but he did not remark on It. He was beginning to think pretty constantly of late that he had underestimated Lund. The giant’s hand dropped automatically to the handle as if to assure himself of the door being fast. Suddenly It opened wide, a black gap, with only the gray eye of the porthole facing them. Lund had brought up the muzzle of his pistol to the height of a man’s chesj, but there was nothing to oppose it. "Hidin’, the d—n fool! What kind of a game Is this? Come out o’ there.” ‘ Something scuttled on the floor of the room—then darted swiftly out between the legs of Lund and Rainey, on all fours, like a great dog. Curlike, It spruwled on the floor with a white face and pop-eyes, with hancte outstretched in pleading, knees* drawn up in some ludicrous attempt at protection, calling shrilly, in the voice of Sandy: „ "Don't shoot, sir! Please don’t .shoot !’* Lund reached down and jerked the roustabout to his feet, half strangling

“Don't Shoot, Sir! Please Don’t Shoot!" him with his grip on the eolJar of the lad’s shtrt. and flung him into a chair. “What were you doin’ in there?” Sandy gulped convulsively, - feeling at his scraggy throat, where an Adam's apple was working up and down. Speech was scared out of him, -and- he could only roll his eye's at them. “You d—?T young traitor!” said Lund. “I’ll have you keelhauled for this! Out with it, now. Who 6ent ye? Doming?" “Tou’ve got him frightened half to death,” intervened Rainey. “They probably scared him into doing this. Didn’t they, Sandy Y’ The lad blinked, and tears of self-

pity roiled down bis grimy cheeks. The relief of them seemed to unstopper his voice. That, and the kinder quality of Rainey's questioning. “Deming! He said he’d cut my bloody heart out If I didn’t do Jt. Him an’ Beale. Looklt.” He plucked aside the front of his almost buttonless shirt and worn undervest nnd showed them on his left breast the scoring where a sharp blade had marked an Irregular circle on his skin. “Beale did that,” he whined. “Deming said they’d finish the Job If I come hack without ’era.” "Without the shells?” “Yes, sir. Yes, Mr. Rainey. Oh, Gord, they’ll kill me sure! Oh, my Gord!” Hlg staring eyes and loose mouth, working In fear, made him look like a fresh-landed cod. “You ain’t much use alive,” said Lund. ... “Mebbe I ain't,” returned the lad, with the desperation of a cornered rat “But I got a right to live. And I’ve lived worse’n a dorg on this bloody schooner. I’m fair striped an’ bruised wl’ boots an' knuckles an* ends o’ rope. I’d ’ave chucked myself over long ago If—” “If what?” The lad turned sullen. “Never mind,” he said, and glared almost defiantly at Lund. “Is that door shut?" the giant asked Rainey, “gome of ’em might be bangin’ ’round.” Rainey went to the corridor and closed and locked the entrance. “Now- then, you young devil,” said Lund. “What they did to you for'ard ain’t a marker on what Til do to you If you don’t speak up an’ answer when I talk. If what?” Sandy turned to Rainey. “They said they was goin’ to give me gome of the gold," he said. “They said all along I was to have the hat go 'round for me. I told you I was dragged up, but there's —there’s an old woman who was good to me. She’s up ag’ln It for fair. I told her Td bring her hack some dough an’ if I can hang on an' git it. I’ll hang on. But they’ll do me up, now, for keeps.” Rainey heard Lund’s., chuckle ripen to a quiet laugh. “I’m d—d If they ain’t some guts to the herrin’ after all,” he said. “Hangin’ on to take some dough back to an old woman who ain’t even his mother. Who’d have thought It? Look here, my lad. I was dragged np the same way, I was. An’ I hung on. But you’ll never git a cent out of that bunch. I don’t-know as they’ll have enny to give you." His face hardened. "But you come through, an’ I'll see you git somethin’ for the old woman. An’ yoreself, too. What’s more, you cap stay aft an’ wait on cabin. If they lay a finger on you, I’ll lay a fist on them, an’ worse.” “You ain’t klddin’ me?" “I don’t kid, my lad. —I ’don't waste time that way.” Sandy stood up, his face lighting. He began to empty his pockets, laying shells and shotgun cartridges upon the table. “I couldn’t begin to git hart of ’em,” he said. “The rest’s nnder the mattresses. They TSId they on’y needed a few. I thought you was both turned In. When you come out of the corridor I was scared nutty,” Between the mattresses, as Lund had guessed, they found the rest of the shells, laid out in orderly rows save where the lad’s scrambling fingers had disturbed them.- Lund stripped ofT a pillow-case and .dumped them Id, together with those on the table. .. “You- can hunk mere,” he . told the grateful- Sandy.- “Now I’ll have a -few ■ words with Deming, Beale and company. Want to come along. Rainey?" Lund strode down the corridor, -bag in one hand, his gun In the other. Rainey threw open" the door'of the hunters’ quarters and discovered them like a lot of conspirators. Deming was in tils bunk; also another man, whose ribs Lund had cracked when he had kicked him along the deck out of his way. The bruised faces of the rest showed their effects from the fight. As Lund entered, covering them with the gun, while he swung down the heavy slip on the table with a clatter. their looks changed from eager expectation to consternation. "Caught with the goods!”, said Lund. “Two tries at mutiny-in one day, my lads. You want to git It into your boneheads that I’m runnln' this ship from now on. t can sail It without ye and, by God, I’ll set the hunch of ye ashore same's you flggered on doin’ with me If you don’t sit up an’ tnke notice! The rifles an’ guns”—he glanced at the ofderly display of weapons in racks on the wall—“are too vallyble to chuck over, but here - go the shells, evTy last one of them. So that nips that little .plan, Deming.” He turned back the slip to display the contents. “Open a port, Rainey, an’ heave the lot out.” Rainey did so while the hunters gazed on In silent chagrin. “There’s one thing' more,” said Lund, grinning at them. “If enny of you saw a man hnrtln’ a dog, you’d probably fetch him a wallop. But you

don’t think enny thing of scarin’ the life out of a half-baked kid an' markin’ up his hide like a patchwork quilt. Thet kid’s stayin' aft after this. One of you monkey with him, an’ you’ll do jest what he’s bln doin’, wish you was dead an’ overboard.” H$ turned on his heel and walked to the door. Rainey following. The girl kept below and seldom came out of her cabin, Tamada serving her meals In there. Rainey could see Lund’s resentment growing at this attitude that seemed to him normal enough, though It might present difficulty later If persisted In. But the morning that they headed up through Sequam pass between the spouting reefs of Sequam and Amlia Islands, she came on deck and went forward to the bows, taking In deep breaths of the bracing air and gazing north to the free expanse of Bering strait. Rainey left her alone, but Lund welcomed her as she came back aft. “Glad to see you on deck again, Miss Peggy," he said. “You need sun and air to git you In shape again.” "How far have we yet to go?” she asked. “A’most a thousan’ miles to the %tralt proper,” said Lund. “The NomeL'nulaska steamer lane lies to the

Then comes St. Lawrence Isle, plumb In the middle of the strait, with Siberia an’ Alaska closin’ In.” He was keen to hold her In convey satlon, and she willing to listen, assenting almost eagerly when he offered to point out their position on the chart, spread on 1 the cabin table. Lund talked well, for all Ills limited and at times luridly Inclined vocabulary, whenever he talked of the sea and of his own adventures, stating them without brag, bift bringing up striking pictures of action, full of color and savor of life in the raw. Fronrthat time on. Peggy Simms came to the table and talked freely with Lund, more conservatively with Rainey. The girl, Rainey decided, .was-hu-moring Lund, seeking To know now •wltlr her- feminine methods slie-m Ight control him, lreep him within bounds. Her coldness, it seemed, she had cast qslde as an expedient that might prove too provoking and, worthless. And Rainey’s valuation of her re-, sources increased:. She was handling her woman's weapons admirably, yet when he sometimes, at night, under the cabin lamp, saw the smoldering light glowing In Lund’s agate eyes, he .knew that she was playing a dangerous game. \ “What d’ye Agger on doin' with yore share, Rainey?” Lund asked him the night that they passed Nome. It was stormy weather in the strait; and the Karluk was snugged down under treble reefs, fighting her way north. The cnbln was cozy, with a stove going. Peggy Simms was busied with some sewing, the canary and the plants gave the place a domestic atmosphere, and Lund, smoking comfortably, was eminently at ease. “ 'Gordin' to the way the men flggered It out,” he went on, "though I reckon they’re under the mark more'n over it, you’ll have forty thousan’ dollars. That’s T quite a windfall, though nothin’ to Miss Peggy, here, or me, for that_matter. I s’pose you got It all spent alregdy.” “I don’t know thrit I have,” said Rainey. “But I think, If all goes well, Pll get a place up In the Coast Range, In the redwoods looking over the sen, and write. Not newspaper stuff, but what I've always wanted to. Stories. Yarns of adventure!” “Goin* to write second-hand stuff?” asked Lund. “Why don’t you live what you write? I don’t see bow

How In blazes are you goin’ to write adventure If you don’t live it? "Me, I’m goin’ to gtt.a schooner built accordin’ to my own Ideas. Have a kicker engine In It, mebbe, an' go round the world. Whut’s the use of livin’ on It an’ not knowin’ It by sight? Books ahd pictures are all right In their way, I reckon, but, while my rlggin’ holds up, Tm for travel. Mebbe Pll take a group of Islands down In the South seas after a bit an' make somethin’ out of 'em. Not Jest copra an’ pearl-shell, but cotton an' rubber." “A king and his kingdom,” suggested the girl. "Aye, an’ mebbe a queen to go with It,” replied Lund, his eyes wide open in a look that made the girl flush and Rainey feel the hidden Issue that he felt was bound to come, rising to the surface. “That's a man's life," went on Lund. “Travel's all right, but a man’s got to do somethin’, buck somethin', start somethin’. An’ a red-blooded man wants the right kind of a woman to play mate. Polish off his rough edges,. mebbe. I’d rather be a rough eastin’ that could stand filin’ a bit, than smooth an' plated. An’, when I find the right woman, one of my own bifeed, I'm goin’ to tie to her an-her to me. “I’m goin’ to be rich. They’ve . cleaned up the sands of Nome, but there's others’ll be found yit between Cape Hope an’ Cape Barry. Meantime, we’ve got a placer of our own. With plenty of gold they ain’t much limit to what a man can do. I’ve roughed It all my life, an’ I’m ffot lookin’ for ease. It makes a man soft. But—” He swept the figure of the girl In a pause that was eloquent of his line of thought She grew uneasy of It, but Lund maintained It until she raised her eyes from her work and challenged his. Rainey saw her breast heave, saw" her stftiggle to hold the gaze, turn red, then pale. He thought her eyes showed fear, and then she stiffened. Almost unconsciously she raised her hand to where Rainey "was sure she kept-the -little pistol, tooched something as“ though to assure herself of Its presence, and went on sewing. Lund chuckled, but shifted his eyes to Rainey. ■ “Why don’t you write up this v’yage? When It’s all over? There’s adventure for you, an’ we ain’t ha’f through with It. An’ romance, too, mebbe. We ain’t developed much of a love-story as yit, but you never can tell.” He laughed, nnd I’pggy Slmrqe got up quietly, folded her sewing, and said “Good night" composedly before she went to her room. “How about It, Rainey?" quizzed Lund. “How about the love part of It? She’s a beauty, an’ she'll be an heiress. Ain’t you got enny red binod In yore veins? Don’t you want her? You won’t find !nan.v,„to hold a candle to her. .Looks, built like a racin’ yacht, smooth an’ speedy. Smart, nn rich Into the bargain. Why don’t you make love to her?”. Rainey felt the burning blood mounting to his face and brain. “I am not in love with Miss Simms.” he said. “If I was I should not try to _ mnke love to her under the circumstances: She's alone, and she’s fatherless. I do not care to discuss her.” ‘'She’s a woman,” said Lund. “And yo’re a d—dprlg! You’dJlke to bust me in the Jaw. \>ut you know I’m stronger. You’ve got -some- gut r Rainey, but yo’re hidebound. You ain’t got ha’f the git-up-an’-go to ye that .she, has. Slie’g a woman, I tell you, an' she’s to be won.

The only woman while . they .were aboard the stfliooner, therefore the more to be desired, admired by men cut off from the rest of the world.

nmOVED UNIFORM INTERNATIONAL SimdaySchool 1 Lesson T (By REV. P. B. FITZWATER, D. D.. Teacher of English Bible in the Moody Bible Institute of Chicago.) Copyright, 1922, Western Newspaper Union.

LESSON FOR JANUARY 8 f ELIJAH THE TISHBITE. LESSON TEXT—I Kings 17il-34. GOLDEN TEXT—But seek ye' first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these thing! shall be added unto you.—Matt. 6:33. REFERENCE MATERIAL-Ex. 16; 1 Kings 16:38-33; Matt. 6:18-34. PRIMARY TOPIC—God Cares for EllJah. JUNIOR TOPIC Elijah, the Brave Prophet. INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC —Jehovah's Champion Preserved, YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC .-Obeying the Word of Jehovah. 1. Elijah’s Message to Ahab (v. 1). .This was u startling message, for Ahab had not only led Israel into Idolatry, hut Into a repudiation of the living God. L “As the Lord God of Israel llveth." Elijah knew the source of his message. He knew that he represented the living God, therefore had no fear to come Into the presence of the king in His name. 2. “Before whom I stand.” Because Elijah stood before God, he could stand before Ahab. His “standing” before God Indicates his constant readiness to go on His errands.' 3. "There shall not be dew nor rain these years but according to my word." This suspension of moisture continued for three and a half years (Jas. 5:17), and was given In answer to Elijah’s prayer (Jas. 5:17). Drouth was predicted as the punishment for idolatry (Deut. 11:16, 17), and the prophet was now applying the divine Judgment. 11. Elijah’s Retirement (vv. 2-10). As soon as he had delivered his message he retired from the king’s sight, while the penalty of the king's Slip should be visited upon the land. When the famine was sore in the land, the king sought east and west, north and Bouth for Elijah, hut God had concealed him. Those who speak God’s message frequently seek solitude when the message Is delivered. 1. By the brook Cherlth (vv. 2-7), (1) Drinking of the brook (vv. 4-6). While drinking of the literal waters of the brook, he was being nourished by the Living Waters from the throne of God. From day to day Elijah’s faith was tested as he saw the stream run lower and lower as the drouth continued. (2) Fed by the ravens (w. 4-6).® itThe ravens brought him _ bread and flesh In the morning and bread and flesh In the evening. Elijah thus enjoyed two meals each day, with Water to drink. The same God who sustained Elijah, still lives, and we should trust Him for our dally 'bread. At last the brook dried up because there was no rain in the land. The Lord then Instructed him to move. 2. At Zarephath (vv. 8-16). (1) The place (v. 9). Zarephath was at the west side of Palestine, near the Mediterranean sea. In Gejitlle territory. In -order to reach this place Elijah had to cross the country from the Jordan to the sea. Zarephath was only a few miles from the home of Jezebel’S, father. This, no-doubt, was a trial to Elijah. (2) Sustained by a widow (w. 10-12). “Bring a little water and a morsel of bread," was the request which he made of the widovfr. This, no doubt, was a geat trial to her, but God had touched her heart and stirred up faith In her. Her reply reveals her deep distress. (3) Elijah’s reply (v. 13). This made plain to her that It was a case of mutual Interest -to do-as the Prophet said. “The barrel of jpeal shall ntft waste; neither shall the cruse of oil fail.” (4) The widow’s obedience (v. 15). “She did according to the sayings of Elijah, and she and her house did eat many days.” (5) God keens His word fv Mpy era learn from this lesson: _ > J. The particularity of God’s providence. Truly a sparrow shall not fall to the ground without. our Father: •By the prearrangements of God all our needs are dally met. There Is no happen so In God’s providence. The v/oman of Zarephath, golpg out to gather sticks to prepare the last meal, met Elijah, and Is helped for two ypars. 2. No matter how small our resources, we can do something for God If we will. The lad with the five barley loaves and the two small fishes, with the blessing of the Lord, did a great work. - 3. Our concern should be to work for others and- for Gojl before ourselves. We should give out; all to God and trust Him foe further supply, 4. God often alfovt-s us to get down to our very last in order to teach us that all Is from Him. 5: God’s dealing with tltls'- Gentile woman Is a foregleain of His dealing with the Gentile nations. The Cheerful -Worker. Do all things without murmnrlngs and dlsputtngs; that ye may he blameless und harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke In the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom ye shall shine ns lights In the world. —Phllipplans 2:14 to 16. A Great Reward. I have fought a good fight; I have finished my course; I have kept the faith. Henceforth there Is laid up for me a crown of righteousness.—ll Timpthy 4:7 and 8. -
