A Man To His Mate By J. ALLEN DUNN „ COPYRIGHT BC BBS MERRILL CO. - - - - - -- - - - ■■ - -

CHAPTER Xll—Continued. —l3 “They’ve sniped It.” he said. "Put an empty one from the hold In its plane. We got plenty without usin’ that one for a while, an’ I only happened to notice It this morning by chance. They've bln drlnkin' all night, I reckon. They’re ugly, Mr. Rainey. It’s the crew this time. They got the boose. The hunters are sober. Deming ain’t In on this. They fijd it on their own. I don’t know how they got it. I didn’t get it for 'em, sir. They must have worked plumb through the hold an’ got to It that way.” “All right, Sandy. Thanks. Mr. Lund esi r n handle them, I guess. He’s coming now.” The men had got to the Ice, hidden from Lund, who was walking to the Karlnk on the opposite side of the vessel. The seamen were gesticulating freely: the sound of their voices came up to him where he stood, tinged with a new freedom .of speech, rtiugßT-con-fident, menacing. As they climbed the trail their legs betrayed them and confirmed the boy's story. Behind them came the four hunters, with Hansen, walking apart, watching the sailors with a certain gravity that communicated itself despite the distance. Lund showed at the far rail of the schooner with his bar. He glanced toward the men going to work, went below, and came up with a sweater. He had left the bar behind him In the cabin, where It was used for a stove poker. The men filed by Rainey, their faces flushed and their eyes unusually bright. They seemed to share a prime joke that wanted to bubble up and over, yet held a restraint upon themselves that was eased hy digs in one another’s ribs, in laughs when one stumbled or hiccoughed. But Hansen teas stolid as ever, and the hunters had evidently not shared the stolen liquor. Only Demlng’s eyes roved over the group of men as they gathered round for their cups and pannikins of food. He seemed to be calculating what advantage he could gain out of this unexpected happening. Peggy Simms„ under cover of pouring the coffee, sweefenpd heavily with condensed milk, found time- to speak to Rainey. "They’re all drunk,” she said. "Mot all of them. Here comes Lund. Hell handle It.” "" Mind seemed still pondering the problem of the floeT-Aj first he did not notice the Condition of the sailors. Then he. apparently ignored if. But.after they had eaten,-he talked to all the men. “Two 'more days of It,, lads, and we’re through. The beach is nigh cleared. We can git out of the floe to blue water easy enough, an’ we’ll git a good start on the patrol-ship. back with full pockets'an’ heavy ones. The shares’ll be half as IgTge agnln as we’ve figgered, I wouldn’t'wonder If they averaged sixteen or seWenteety thousand dollars apiece." ’ ‘ Rainey had picked out a black diearded Finn as the leader of the sallonr-fiv' their debauch. The liquor seemed to have unchained In hint a spirit of revolt that bordered on Insolence. He stood with his bowed legs apart, mittened hands on hips, staring at Lund with a' covert grin. Next to Lund he was the biggest man aboard. With the mm givtngan unusual yo-ordination to his usually' sluggish nervous system, he promised to be a source of trouble. t Rainey was surprised to see him shrug his shoulders and lead the w-ay to the beach. Perhaps hreakfast had Bohered them, though the fumes of liquor, stitj-clupg, clpjjdlly on the, air, . Lund yvent down, with Rainey beside him. reporting Sandy. “I’ll work it out of ’em," said Lund. ’ “That booze’ll be an expensive luxury to -’em. paid* for in Imrd labor.” They found the men ranted up In three groups. Deming and Beale, against custom, had gope down to the beach. They were supposed lo help clean the food utensils, and aid Tamada after a meal, besides replenishing the fifes. . They stood a little away from the Punters and. Hansen and the sailors. The Finn,' talking to his comrades in a low growl,' was with a separate group. . ” ; There was an air of fest, a feeling of suspense in the valley, hacked by the frowning cone, ribbed by the two icy promontories. I.und surveyed them sharply. “What In h—’s the matter with you?" he barked. “Hansen, send up a msn’for the drills an’ shovels. Yore work's laid out: hop to It!" ‘‘We ain't goln' to work no more," said the Finn aggressively, “Not fo’ no sloli wage like you give." “Oh, you ain’t, ain't you ?’’ mocked Lbnd. He was standing with Rainey In the middle of the Space they cleared of gravel, the seamen lower down the beach, nearer the sea, their ranks compacted, “Why, you boose-bitten, lousy hunky, jvhat In h—l do you want? You never saw twenty dollars In a lump you 'u'il call yore own for more’n ten mlnnlts. You boardln'house loafer an’ the rest of you scum o’ the °ven seas git. vqre shovels an'

git to dlggin', or I’ll put you ashore in San Francisco flat broke, an' glad to leave the ship, at that. Jump!" The Finn snarled, and the rest stood nrm. Not one of them knew the real value of their promised share. Money represented only counters exchanged for lodging, food and drink enough to make them sodden before they had spent even their usual wages. Then they would wake to find the rest gone, and throw themselves upon the selfish bounty of a boarding-house keeper. But they had seen the gold, they had handled It, and they were inflamed by a sense of what It ought to do for them. Perhaps half of them -could not add a simple sum, could not grasp figures beyond a thousand, at most. And the sight of so much gold had made It, In a manner, cheap. It was there, a heap of it, and they wanted more of thnt shining heap than had been promised them. “You talk big," said the Finn. "Look my hands." He showed palms calloused, split, 'swollen lumps of chllblalned flesh worn down and stiffened “I bln seaman, not navvy." Lund turned to the hunters. “You In on this?*’ he asked. Deming and Beale moved off. Two of the others joined them. “Neutral?" sneered Lund. “I'll remember that." Hansen and the two remaining came over beside Lund and Rainey. “Five of us,” saldLund. "Five men against twelve fo'c’sle rats. I’ll give you, mlnnlts to.start work.” “You talk big with yore gun in pocket,” said the Finn. “Me ..good man as you enny day.” ' Lund’s face turned dark with a burst of rage that exploded In voice and action. “You think I need my gun, do ye, you pack of rats? Then try it on without It.” His hand slid to his holster Inside his heavy coat. His arm swung, there

It plunked in the free' water beyond the ice. “Gome on," roared I.und, “or I’ll rush you to the first ttmrh you’ve had In five years." The Finn lowered his head, and charged; the rest followed their leader. The hot food had steadied their motive: control to -a certain extent, they were firmer on their feet, less-vague of -eye, hyt the crude alcohol stiU fumed In their brains. Without. It they would never have answered •the FI mi’s- (-fill so retiellloh. He had promised, and their drunken minds believed, that a triass.. to work would automatically halt things Jihtil they got their “rights.” They had not expected an open fightThe spur of alcohol had thrust them over the edge, given them a swifter flow of their Impoverished blood, a temporary confidence In their own prowess, a mock valor that answered Ltmd’s contemptuous challenge. 'Lund, thought Rainey, had done "a fool-hardy thing In tossing away his gun. It was magnificent, hut It was not war. i’ure bravado! But he had scant time for thinking. Lund tossed him a scrap of advice. “Keep movin’l Don’t Iwt ’em crowd you!” Then the fight was joined. The girl leaned but frpm the promontory to watch the tourney. Tamada, impassive as ever, "ten-ded-his fires. Sandy crept down to the beach, drawn despite his will, and shuffled in and nut, irresolute,' too weak to attempt to mix in. hut excited, eager to help. Deming, Beale and the two neutral hunters, one side, waiting, perhaps, to see which way the flgtrl went, reserves for the apparent victor. The Finn, best and biggest of the sailors, rushed for Lund, his little

eyes red with rage, crazy with desire lo make good "his boast that he wus as good he was somewhat of a dancer, and his legs were as lissome as fils arms. He leaped, striking with fists and feet. Lund met him with a fierce uppercut, short-traveled, sent from the hip. •His enormous hand, bunched to a knuckly lump of stone, knocked the Finn over, lifting him, before he fell with his nose driven in, its bone shattered, his lips broken like overripe fruit, and his discolored teeth knocked out. He landed on his back, rolling over and over, to lie still, half stunned, while two more sprang for Lund. Lund roared with surprise and pain as one caught his red beard and swung to it, smiting and kicking. He wrapped his left arm about the man, crushing him close up to him, and, as the other came, diving low, butting at his solar plexus, the giant gripped him by the collar, using his own Impetus, and brought the two skulls together with a thud that left them stunned. The two dropped from Lund’s relaxed arms like sacks, and he stepped over them, alert, poised on the balls of his feet, letting out a shout of triumph, while he looked about him for his next adversary. • The bedrock on which they fought was slippery where ice had formed In the crevices. Two seamen tackled Hansen. He stopped the curses of one with a straight punch to his mouth, but the man clung to his arm, bearing It down. Hansen swung at the other, and the blow went over the shoulder as he dodged, but Hansen got him in chancery, and the three, staggering, swearing, sliding, went down at last together, with Hansen underneath, twisting one’s neck to shut off his wind while he warded oft the wild blows of the second. With a wild heave he got on all fours, and then Lund, roaring like a bull as he came, tore off a seaman and flung fjim headlong. “Pound him, Hansen!” he shouted, his eyes hard with pprpose, shining | like ice that'reflects the sun, his nostrils wide.-glorying in the fight. The Flna had got ..himself together a bit, wiping the gouts of blood from his face and spitting out the snags of his broken teeth. lie .drew a knife, from'instde his shirt, a long, curving blade, and sidled, like a crab, toward Lund, murder TiT-his_j)iggy, bloodshot eyes, waiting for a chance to slip In and stab Lund in the back, caUlhg to a cbmrade ttt heip him. | “Come on,” he catled, -“Qfsen, wit’ ! yore knife. Gut the Swine!"’' Another blade flashed out, and the [pair advanced, crouching, knees and i bodies-bent. Lund backed away war- ' lly toward The~jopposite cliff, looking for loose rook fragment. He had for- | bidden knives to the sqfionv'sißce the mutiny, and had forced a delivery .“but; these two had been hidden.- A knife rto’the Finn was a natural accessory. Only his drunken frenzy had made him try to beat Lund at hls-own game. One ’of the two' lamed with a kick -on the knee, howling with the pain, clinched savagely and bore the - seaman down, battering his head 1 against^-a. knob of rock. The' other -friendly hunter bad bashed and buffeteri lil*. .opponent to suhtiiisslon. But RaineywSfß-Ett"Mird case. A seaman, halfMextttfca,__flew at him like a wildcat. Rainey st't’B’cfc-.tiut, and his fists hit at the top oT'the: breed’s head without stopping him. Then he clinched. 1 * The Mexican was slippery as an eel. Jle got his arms free, his hands shot up, and his thumbs sought the inner comers of Rainey’s eyes. The sudden, burning anguish- was maddening and he drove his clasped fists upward, wedging away the drilling fingers'. Two hands Hawed at his shoulders from behind. ‘Someone sprang fairly on his hack-. A knee thrust against bis spire. The agony left him helpless,, the vertebrae ,seemed about to crack. Strength and will were shut off, and the world went black. And then one of the hunters catapulted Into the struggle, and the four of them went down in a maddened frenzy of blows and stifled shouts. The sattors fought like toasts,..striving for blows barred by all codes of decency and fair play, intent to maim. Lund had got his shoulders against the rocks St)d stood with open hands, watching the two with their knives, who crept In, foot by foot, to make a finish. Peggy Simms, a strand of her pale yellow hair whipped loose, flung it out of her eyes as she stood on the edge of the cliff, her Ups apart, her breasts rising stormlly, patching; her features chatiglng with the tide of battle as it surged beneath her, punctuated with muffled shouts and wind-clipped oaths. She saw Lund at bay, and snatched out her pistol. But the tfistaure was too great. She dared not trust her aim. Sandy, dancing In and out, willing hut helpless, bound hy fear and lack of muscle, saw Defiling, followed by Beale, Stealing up the trail, unnoticed ■ hy the girl, who leaned far forward, watching the fight, her eyes on Lund

and the two creeping closer with thelt knives, cautious but determined. Tamada stood farther back'and could not see them. The Ind's wits, sharpened by his forecastle experience, surmised what Deming and Beale were after as they gained the promontory flat and ran toward the fires. “Hey!" he shrilled. “Look out; they’re after the tpols!" Demlng’s hand was stretched toward a shovel, Its worn steel scoop sharp as a chisel. Beale was a few feet behind him. They were going to toss the shovels and drills down to the seamen. Tamada turned. His face did not change, hut his eyes gleamed as he thrust a dipper in the steaming remnants of the pea soup and flung the thick blistering mass fair In Demlng’s face. At the same moment the girl's pistol cracked with a stab of red flame. Beale dropped, shot In the neck, close to the collarbone, twisting like a scotched snake, rolling down the trail to the beach again. Deming, howlipg like , a scorched devil, clawed with one hand at the sttefcy mass that masked him as he ran blind, wild with pain. He tripped, clutched, and lost Ills hold, slid on a plane of icy lava, smooth as glass, struck a buttress that seut him off at a tangent down the face of the cliff, bounding from Impact with an outthrust elbow of the rock, whirling into space, Into the Icy turmoil of the waves, flooding intp the inlet. Peggy. Simms fled down the trail with a steel drill In either hand, straight across the beach toward Lund.- The Finn turned on her with a snarl and a side swipe of his knife, but she leaped aside, dodged the other slow-foot.- and thrust a drill at Lund, who grasped It with a cry of exultation, swinging It over his head as If It had been a bamboo. Hansen had shaken off his men, and came leaping in for the second drill. The knife fell tinkHng on the frozen rOck as Lund smashed the wrist of the Finn. The girl's gun made the second would-be slabber throw up his hands, while Hansen snatched his weapon, ’flung It over the farther cliff, and knocked the seaman to the ground before he joined Lund, charging the rest, who fled before the sight of them and the threat of the bars of steel. Lund laughed loud, and stopped striking, using the drill as a goad, driving them into a huddled horde, like leaderless sheep, knee-deep, thigh-deep. Into the water, wherp thyy stopped—and begged for mercy while Hansen turnedto-put a finish to the separate struggles. . It ended as swiftly as It had begun. One hunter could barely stand for his kicked knee, Ralney’s~—-baek was strained and stiffening, Lnnd had lost a handful of his beard, and Hansen’s' cheek was laid open. ~"©tLjtbe other side the casualties were . more,, severe. Deming was drowned, his body flung up by the tide, rolling In the swash. Beale was coughing blood, though not dangerously wounded. The Finn was crying over his broken w-Hst, all the tight out of him. *• (TO BE CONTINUED.)

LESSON FOR JANUARY 29 ELIJAH IN NABOTH’S VfNEYARD LESSON TEXT! -I King, a;l-29. GOLDEN TEXT—Be sure four ln, will find, you out.—Mum. 32:23. -e REFERENCE MATERIAL—Lev. 25:23-28; Amo a 8:4-10; Mlcah 3:1-4. PRIMARY TOPIC—The Sin ot Selfishness. JUNIOR TOPlC—Elijah Denounces • Selfish King. INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC —Jehovah’s Champion Feared. YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC —Respecting the Rights of Others. I. Ahab Covets Naboth’s Vineyard (vv. 1-6). 1. Location es the vineyard (v. 1). It joined Ahab’s summer home in Jezreel. He wanted to transform it into an herb garden and thus round out his property. 2. Ahab’s proposal (v. 2). He offered to buy it outright for money, or give in exchange a better one. Ahab’s wish for It was a selfish whim. He Jld not at all need it. 3. Naboth’s refusal (v. 8). It was for a twofold reason: (1) regard for the paternal estate; (2) obedience to God’s law (Lev. 25:23-28, cf. Num. 36: 1-9). His refusal was on conscientious grounds. A king, even, has no right to nsk of his subject that he violate his conscience. 4. Ahab’s behavior (v. 4). He came Into his house, lay down upon his bed and refused to eat. The king was sulking like a spoiled child. This Is a picture of what a fool even a king, may make of himself. Let us learn that "godliness with contentment Is great gain” (i Tlmi 6:6). 5. Jezebel's Inquiry (vv. 5,6). Apparently she came with the sympathy of a wife, inquiring as to the •au.se of his behavior. But when she knew of Naboth’s refusal she was violently angry. That a humble subject should refuse to conform to the llestfe of the king was an Insult which she would not brook.

11. Ahab Taking Possession of NaOoth’s Vineyard (vvv^WL^, 1. Jezebel’s treachery (VV.7-T5).... (1) Her contemptuous question (v. 7). She taunted him for his cowardice.- The fear of being thought weak moves a weak man quickly. ,{2) Her exhortation to Ahab (v. 7). “Arise, eat bread, and let thine heart be merry.” A wife has great Influence over her husband. Many a man has been saved from discouragement and therefore defeat, through his wife’s influence. Unfortunately in this cpse the influence .of the ....wife Is bad. (3) Her promise to Ahab (v. 7). “I will give thee the vineyard of Naboth.” She took-matters into her own hands. If Mfnf' wasEho-weak to be king, she would rule for him. (4) Her wicked scheme (vv. 8-15). She wrote letters In Ahah ! s-uame, sealed them with his seal and sent'Thenuto the elders and nobles 'who were dwelTtng-ln the city with Naboth, asking them to proclaim a fast, as though some great calamity had befallen tne natlon. and place Naboth before rne public as the'Bne who was the cause of it all. They were instructed to find two false witnesses who would testify against Naboth. The charge they brought according to the wicked device of Jezebel was blasphemy against God and the king. Naboth's only offense was hLs refusal to sell his estate, contrary to the law of God. When they had stoned to death Naboth and Ms sons (H Kings 9:26), they came and told Jezebel, who In turn came to Ahab with,the Information and directed him to take possession of the vineyard. - Ahab goes to Jezreel to take possossion of Naboth's vineyard (v. 16). -~Ahfib hnd not killed Naboth, hut he eagerTy'uccopted the prize without inquiring as to'fiow- -U. was secured. * 111. Elijah, in Nabothfe-Vlneyard Announcing Doom Upon 26)- * • : • •• 1. Doom, upon. Ahab (vv. 17-22). :ljah told “him the dogs should lick hl blood in the place where they licked the blood of Naboth; Evil was to. and his posterity) even wipe out ‘Tils seed and name. He was gullty of conspiracy, murder, robbery, perjury, blasphemy, though he had been silent and inactive. God, held- iilm responsible for Jezebel’s acts, for he Vas king and head of the nation. The day of reckoning did come to Ahab (I Kings 22:38). 2. Doom upon Jezebel (w. 23-26). She likewise should he eaten by dogs hy the wall of Jezreel. This was lit- • e rally-—fulfilled (II Kings 9:33-37). “Be snre your sin will find you out.” IV. Ahab’s Repentance (vv. 27-29). Becnuse of this, God promised to withhold Judgment during Ills lifetime —. „ • ________________________ Death of Abraham, v And these are the days of the years of Abraham's life which he lived, nn hundred threescore and fifteen years.

In the ancient days before prohibition Mr. Heming was In New York to Invite American artists to exhibit Jn the Canadian national exhibit in Toronto. Gardner Symons, the well-known American artist, invited Heming and Frederick Waugh, an"otlier leading artist, to dinner at the National Arts club. “Let’s go down and have a cooktail before lunch,” said said Heming. “Neither do I,”' said Waugh. Symons laughed. ‘‘That’s funny,” be said. "Neither do I, but anyway we'll have-some cigars." “I don’t smoke,” said Waugh. ’ "And I don’t smoke,” said Heming; “Well, this Is a great joke,” said Symons. “I don't smoke, either, but I thought you fellowf-would at least take a cigar.
