"We wonder whether any of our readers assume that we lerefore favor wiping price control off the books. '.'We do not. We think that farmers are better off under
rice control in this war than, they were in the last war. loreover, we think that when the adjustment to peace is

CHAPTER XVII . Police! A vast throb Of joy beat through Colby's, brain." Success! Victory and all Geneva's labors and his own had not been in vain. So the police had come. Probably they had been summoned by Hartney, Dutton and Norton. None too soon at that. Au6Ve the hungry lap-lapping of the wavelets provoked by his movements he could hear 'Ferguson's feet dashing away. "Hang on a bit more!" he called over his shoulder. 'Everything's all right now. The cops have sliowed up at last." "V-y-yes," the girl cried, chattering with the cold. "I-I h-hope they get here s-s-soon." An unforget
table ligure' inenably dramatic she made, for though now the black water had crept up to her waist and seemed to have cut her in half, she
torced a tremulous smile. Water a b-bit cold for October "

cocks for God's sake, Hurry!"
Loloy with a rivet used as a truncheon began tattooing on the engine room door. Clang! Clang! The
dim chamber reverberated like a beaten gong and the candle flame
wavered. "Listen lets listen."
When the sibilant in-rush of water into the Mount Vernon's
sowels was the only sound they
!icard the eyes ot the two met,
shrieked their fears and flashed to
;he engine room door aain. Cheeks
aollowed, Colby beat on it again
"Curtains," said he with a shrug,
"Looks like it, agreed the girl
'Good company tnough " "Thanks." ,
Sickening was the realization ;hat the police would undoubtedly e fully occupied far above decks
until it was too late.
Catching his breath Colby sud-
jenly ducked and groped through :he eddying, rusty water, until he retrieved a bolt and gave it into
Geneva Benet s slender wet hands
"Here," he directed. "Beat on the i'all with that. Take your mind off :he rolling motion while I try an-
uher dodge. -
While the icy waters crept up to
his arm pits Colby wondered : How
:ould be possibly get a better pur-
:hase on that pipe? By the candle s
uncertain light its two foot length
projected challengmgly into the jloom, now a scant ten inches above :he roiled waters. There was now
snly a two foot air space to the iron plates over head. All at once a strange clarity of
;hought dispersed the maddening le-
jions swarming in his brain. It lie could only somehow apply a sort
of crossbar to his improvised pipe tvrench he might be able to maneuver it. But what to use? The scant minutes left to live were ever fewer The girl, marble featured, was now clinging, half afloat, to a rivet studded rib which rose at his side. Clang! Clang! Clang! Like an infernal tocsin the hopeless beating of the rivet against the door beat a doomful toll. Suddenly the inspiration came. He ierked off his belt, a wide leather
pffair with a strong brass buckle
and, ruling a fresh impulse of panic, groped under ' water again for- a longer ' section of pipe. This he found, but when he came to the surface it was to hear Geneva's wail .that he had put out the candle! What a mad dreadful world was this in which they struggled. All was pitchy blackness and sloshing water. Spitting out foul ' tastihg water Colby clumsily fell to work. "How you making it?" "Be all right in a minute now," he lied. "How's your courage?". "I-I-I'm , all right. N-not afraid" By sense of touch alone,. Colbv wound his belt around and around the pipe in a species of timber hitch that should tighten the pressure evenly when the short section of half inch pipe in his hand was thrust
through it as a lever. When the water began licking at his pulsing throat like the cold tongues of many reptiles, fear- com
menced beating at the toiler's brain with sledge hammer blows that grew steadily stronger. Water was in his eyes, nose, ears but his numbed hands continued working
unuer water until at last thev
secured the ends of the belt and
inserted the crosspiece.
"Oh God," he breathed. "Let the
leather be strong enough " He
torced himself to give a tentative
wrench in order to set the wrap pings. Would the leather wrappings hold? He exerted more nips

somewnere in the 'dreadful, water
tilled gloom. "I sorry I I'm go

"No! Hang on," he sputtered, thrusting his head ud acainst the
ceiling.
Lashine- bodv and brain li.ink intn
harness, he drew a deeD breath nnd
ducked beneath the surface, where he braced both feet and gave a terrific heave.- The leather did not slip this time, but neither did the pipe turn. Yammerinsr silentlv. eves
glaring through the Stygian water, he heaved again. Btraininer until the
tendons of his back cracked, until his brain seemed to boil inside its skull. Death! At last he was going to meet the Dark Angel who had touched so many others!
Revolt sureed in his chilled and
aching body. His foot slipped and he fell floundering. Too bad. he had
hoped to win out now he'd never again see this wonderful girl. He'd struggle miserably a while then sink to lie beside Geneva Benet a
blanched shrivelled corpse on the rusty slime of the floor Fiery serpentines, -whirling pin-wheels of flame bursting lungs
All at once he realized that the
water was no longer rising. Nay, it was fatting. Struggling to his feet he gave another spasmodic turn to the improvised crossbar and a dull clank rewarded his ear. Obviously the water-tight door had
moved and was spilling water into the next compartment. Another
year would bring more days of it, however many And the minds of those who had attended . the first years sessions and the last, swept over the intervening years,, as memories stood out. almost as clearly a$ the blinking stars. : ,

"Hey!'.' he called. "Hey:" "Hey!" Only a faint echo answered him. "What what's wrong?" From the chill sepulcneal depths of the Mount Vernon rose Geneva Benet's faint cry. "Nothing's wrong. Didn't want to get shot byx mistake, but the police must be at the other end of the ship. Can you climb up here?" She thought she could and came toiling up the rungs, though her skirt still dripped great drops of rusty water and her torn stockings and sodden brogues squelched like a duck's foot in the mud. With Colby's help she climbed up into the gray light and sank onto the rough flooring gasping like a
stranded fish.
I I never thought we would see
that again," she murmured as he
knelt and his arm circled her waist
to steady her. "And we wouldn't
have if if you hadn't been so very splendid down there." She raised
eyes circled by exhaustion. "It was nearly over."
The lean, scarred face above her
softened beneath its ludicrous mask of dust, dirt and rust flakes. "Yes,
very nearly and yet you weren't afraid."
They rested a long ten minutes,
seated on a stack of dusty folded deck chairs. Then he got up.
"We'd better be going out to find
the police," he explained and pushed
open the door to the third class kitchen.
'Up through the second class
lounge and onto, the deck they limped, two bedraggled specimens but with a curious new light in their .;
eyes. At the door to the prome- ' nade deck Colby halted and thrust only his head out into the rose tinted dawn. "Anybody on deck?" he called out. !
