Coast purchases a ya/ht and while sailing sees a man thrown from a distant boat. He rescues the.' fellow who is named Appleyard They 'Jrrive at a lonely Island, known as No Man’s Land. Coast starts out to explore th e place and comes upon some depf-rted buildings He discovers a man ‘Ad Upon going further-and approaching a house he sees Katherine Thaxter. / who explains that her husband, under the nam< of Plack. has bought the island. He Is blind, a wireless operator and has a station there. Coast informs her that her husband murdered Van Tuyl. Coast Bees Blackstock and some Chinamen burying a man. They fire at him. but he Is rescued by Appleyard, who gets him to the Echo in safety, and there he reveals that he is a secret service man and has been watching th" crowd on the Island, suspecting they are criminals. Coast is anxious to fathom the mysteries of No Man’s Land, and is determined to save Katherine. Appleyard believes that Black and his gang make a shield of the wireless station to conduct a smuggling business. Coast penetrates to the lair of Blackstock’s disguise. Katherine enters tb< room and passes him a note which tells’ Coast that neither his life or her own are safe. Coast feels that B’ackstoek suspects him. Appleyard and the Echo disappear. Coast assures Katherine of his protection, and she Informs him that they are to abandon the island Immediately. The- blind man and his coolie servant overpower Coast, who afterward escapes and Is met by Katherine, wishing to flee They discover a yawl but before they can reach it the cooli" disables the craft. Black appears and ( tauntingly states that he Is no longer blind. He is overpowered, and Coast and Katherine fly from the spot, and go to a remote part of the island and signal a® boat wluch they see in the distance. Appleyard and the Echo appear. Blackstock comes rushing to the boat, claim tng fie Is dying, and is taken on board. CHAPTER XXL—(Continued.) Stooping low to escape the banging of the boom, Coast stepped over the Chinaman’s body and went to Blackstock. He had some trouble overcoming his physical repugnance to the task, but resolutely forced himself to touch the man. seizing a shoulder with one hand, while with the other he lifted his head and exposed his face to-the light, it shone a ghastly white, but the jaws were set and in their sockets the prominent eyes moved and , lifted to Coast’s face, with a dim, pale glimmer of recognition. But it was evident at a glance that only his tremendous vitality and force of will sustained the man; the blootj soaked bo tom of his flannel shirt told too plainly the tale of a terrible drain upon his •trength. "Appleyard—” "No: thife one’s first —he’s done for completely.” interrupted the little man with prompt decision; “we’ve got to get him out of the way before we can ! move. T’other can wait.” “But he’ll die—” “I’m satisfied. Here, lend me a lift, at this, won’t you?” Together with Considerable difficulty. they managed to raise the body of Chang to a side seat and then over the rail. A sullen splash and a I ihower of spray, molten silver in the moonlight, were all his funeral rite. “And now for the quick,” said Appleyard; “and quick’s the word.” But as they approached Blackstock the man. drawing upon some unsuspected reserve of nervous force, deliberately if with torturing effort, pulled himself together, lifted a leg over the wheel and slipped off the box to the seat to leeward. A grim ghost of a smile showed upon his face, and tor a fugitive instant there shone from his eyes a gleam of their onetime mocking luster, a little proud and disdainful, altogether unrepentant. Then with a long sigh, his chin dropped down on his breast again. “Thanks," said Appleyard, callously; “you’ve saved us a deal of trouble and exertion, I’m sure. Coast, take the wheel, will you, while I get Mr. Blackstock a drink «nd see what can be done to save his worthless hide ter a more evil end.” Obediently Coast placed himself on the box. “Any idea where we are?" he. asked. Blackstock roused at the query and raised his head, staring round the horiton. “Vineyard sound,” he croaked hoarsely, with a nod to leeward; where, against the pale blue splendor of the sky the twin red masthead bea- - cons of the light vessel watched them, several milek abeam. Coast consulted Appleyard’s face. “New Bedford?” he asked, tersely. The little man nodded. “Best for all concerned.” he added; “especially if this festive hydrophobiac is to get proper attendance.” With a snort of disgust he moved to Coast’s side, and trimmed the sheet. K the latter swung the Echo off upon her course,; then turned and went forward to the companion door, descending to the cabin. Thereafter for a* little Coast heard Indistinctly the murmur of Applecard's voice, civil apd pleasant but firm, contending with Katherine’s. He understood that she was arguing against her own wishes and natural Instincts, insisting she must go to her husband’s aid, while the little man was# insistently refusing to permit anything of the sort. . And confirmation of this deduction was furnished when the detective’s small,. blonde-thatched head appeared against the light. ‘‘Don’t worry,, madam,” he was saytag in conclusion.- “Leave him to me; i’naan old hand at first aid to the injured, and I can do for him infinitely more than , you’d dare attempt. if there’s the slightest need of you, I’ll he the first to let you know.” He wagged his head obstinately and Mme on deck, grumbling privately terne refreshingly personal opinion as to the general- and perverse intractability of. the feminpie sex. Balancing himself before Blackitock. who in the Interim had sunk Biro • semblance of lethargy, he meaa-

Securely corked, beneath his arm, and roused the wounded man w’lth a touch as gentle and considerate as his attitude and words were rough. “Here,” he said; “get this down, and we’ll make an examination, Blackstock.” Appleyard holding the glass to his lips, Blackstock . drank greedily. “Thanks,” he muttered huskily as the little man took away the glass drained to the final drop. "Don’t thank me—’tlsn’t my-brandy. If it was. I doubt I’d give you any.” He moved off and placed the bottle and the glass in a corner, where they were in no danger of overturning, now that a trained and steady hand was at the helm and the Echo moving smoothly and easily to a leading wind. "Now, harf a mo’,” he continued. “I’m going to get. this motor going”—and with this he dropped into the open enginepit—“and then I’ll have a look at your ; wounds.” He bent over and began to rock the flywheel. Slowly the warming spirit worked a change in Blackstock, lending him a fictitious and evanescent sense of strength. He straightened up against the back of the seat, a faint touch of color dyeing his cheeks, and with a

peculiar half-smile watched the little man at work. “What’s the use?” he asked abruptly in a voice more clear than heretofore. “What’s thb use of what?” asked Appleyard sharply, looking up. “Os troubling with me—trying to save my life?” "Oh .‘ . .” With a sudden cough the motor began to hum; Appleyard sat down on the edge of the hatch coaming, folded his hands before him and continued to eye the wounded man. "I don’t know,” he said with an air of open confession. “I don’t know, I’m sure. Business, so far as I’m concerned; commonplace humanity with Coast, I presume; all that sort of nonsense. Why? Don't- you want to be helped—saved?” Soberly Blackstock shook his heavy head. “No,” he said evenly. “What’s the use? I’m at the end of my tether, as far as getting any of the savor out

With me out of it. everything’!) run more smoothly for all of you.” By a mysteriously reinforced effort he lifted himself suddenly to his feet and stood swaying while Appleyard from his low seat and Coast from hia post of duty watched him In amaze ment. “Repentance?” said the man slowly, i as if iterating some recently spoken word. He laughed briefly and without mirth “No; nothing like that. I’m not that sort ... which you can’t understand. . . . No; I’m just a bad loser, that’s all. I’ve played the game 1 liked—which you can’t under i stand either, for you played on the other side —and I’ve lost out. . . .

Blackstock smiled strangely and pityingly down at him. “Too late,” he said. . . . “That’s all. G’d-night . Before Coast had grasped an inkling of his purpose the man. placing a foot j

upon the seat, put forth his final ounce t of strength and plunged over the side. Coast put the wheel dow : n hard and swung the Echo up into the wind. A glance at their wake showed him a spot of yeasty, churning water, silver upon the black. As the boat came up he would have leaped from his place, but Appleyard was too quick for him. The hand of the fittlta man struck flat against his chest and thrust him j back upon the box. Simultaneous! y Appleyard seized the wheel and sent the spokes spinning round to leeward. With a jerk the boom shot off and the mainsheet tautened. “No!” cried Appleyard, his small, wizened face singularly white and solemn in the moonlight “No, let him go—let him go the way he wants tc go, I tell you—to whatever God he owns, with this, at least one decent ; act to plead for mercy on his soul!” [THE END.)

INUBWIONAL SUNDAYSCnOOL Lesson (By E. O. SELLERS. Director of Evening ; Department. The Moody Bible Institute, . Chicago.) LESSON FOR SEPT. 1. DEATH OF JOHN THE BAPTIST LESSON TEXT—Mark 6:14-29. GOLDEN TEXT—“Be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee the crown of I life."—Rev. 2:10. ( The story of Hamlet and Banquote ghost is no more vivid or dramatic | than the story of the tragedy of John the Baptist. “And Kihg Herod heard of him,” v. 4/’'bf course Herod would hear of the rising young cousin of John who was creating such a stir throughout Galilee. His coarse, sinful, licentious, heart cringed at the rebuke of such a life of purity, one that performed so many good deeds, one who was constantly ministering to others con- j trasted with the life of Herorf, who only ministered to his own selfish lusts.. Small wonder he should exclaim, “It is John whom I beheaded, and one can hear in fancy the rising tide of terror that surged through his heart as he must have screamed. “He is risen from the dead!” The first three verses of the lesson are a vivid picture of how the fame of this young . Galilean affected the consciencestricken and guilty-hearted usurper upon the throne. ’ Who was this Herod? In the first place, he was guilty of the sin of ln-_ 1 rest, for he had married the wife of his brother Philip, who was still living. From verse eighteen of the lesson we learn further that the bold And courageous John had , rebuked him of this evil and as a result Herod had cast him into prison, and ttiough he may have desired, yet he did not as yet (Tare to take his life. Added to this is the anger of a sinful woman. The purest flower that blooms is a godly woman. The vilest and most vindictive creature upon earth Is most frequently a fallen Voman. M e need to remember 'in this case that Herodias was aware of t|ie heights from which she, had fallen for she 1 was of Jewish descent. She had first ■ married'* Herod Philip I. then eloped to marry this Herod Antipas, who was also her step-uncle and who at the time had a wife living. John a Just Man. This precipitated a war which resulted in the overthrow and utter i loss of the army belonging to the : father of Herod’s lawful wife. Why ' did Herod hesitate to comply with all ! that Herodias desired? Verse 20 tells ; us, because John “was a just man and i an holy.’’ Righteousness is often a,i ! man’s surest safeguard". Herod was not altogether, devoid of conscience as i we have already seen, and this is i further evidence of that fact. Verse ; 20 adds that when Herod heard him :he was “perplexed and heard him gladly.” We believe that Herod was i seeking some sort of a recanting upon i the part of John, that he w-as glad I (-anxious) to hear from-his lips some I sort of statement that would justify his liberation and was perplexed over i the persistence of John, who, though I in prison, never for one moment low- ' ered his standard of divine righteous- j ness. nor trimmed his sails so as to ■; catch the wind of Herod’s popular J favor. That this was John’s attitude j and that it was known to Herodias is evident from the beginning of the , verse 21, “and when a convenient day was 4'ome.” Herodias was all too ' ready and willing to seize her oppor- ; tunlty. To evidence her depths of depravity and also her anxiety, note that Hero- , dias was willing to sacrifice the mod- | esty of her own daughter to gain her end. The use of the word “herself” ; v. 22 R. V„ is evidence that it was i an unusual thing for this daughter of a queen thus to exhibit herself. Now note the oath of the liquor and j lust-drunken king. What an appalling request. What a terrible consequence. !■ What lengths men will go to “keep t their word" given thoughtlessly or uttered In the heat of passion. This is one of the blackest pictures of his- ; tory. A lust-driven, licentious potenfate, a rebuked but vindictive queen, slave of these same passions. Not Real Sorrow. The child of the home thrust forth before the gaze of the court to help se- ; cure the ends of a murderous mother. ; A godly, fearless saint who had a great \ message from a great God, and with- i out halting, hesitancy or compromise i continued to deliver that message till stricken down in the midst of an orgy of passion. . Herod’s sorrow was not “unto repentance” (v. 26) but rather ■ that of zb. guilty conscience. We need now to return again to the j first verse of the lesson and we can well believe it must have been a sted ! wail, “He 1b risen” (v. 16). History i tells us Herod lost his kingdom and ' that he and Herodias died in exile. Let us turn from this awful picture i. and look at John. How different. Thus dies he who was the greatest born of i a woman. Thus died one who dared j to rebuke evil in high places. One | who would not compromise to save I his life, and one who was faithful unto death (see the Golden Text). Can we I hesitate to believe,that John received his crown? A suggested outline for this lesson j i as follows; [. A Terror-Stricken Conscience.— w. 14-16. 1. Jesus’ name spread abroad, v. 14. 2. Men sought to explain Jesus, v. 15. . < 3. Herod’s guilty conscience, v. 16. 11. A Wicked Woman’s Hatred, v. 17-25. 1. The effect of righteous life. 2. Herod’s downward steps. 111. The End of a Faithful Preaclv* er. v. 26-29. 1.

POPULAR SYMBOL OF VALUE Young Man Evidently Was Lacking in His Appreciation of the Country’s Statesmen. There is plenty of food for cynical thoughts in the national capital, as is shown by the following incident which happened on a Washington street car: A worldly young man, prone tb criticise, was gazing at the advertisements which decorate Jhe interior of the car. One advertised a new kind of collar for men. The dome of the capitol was represented encircled by one of the and on the! senate and house wings of the building were placards giving prices and sizes. The placard on the senate end : of the capitol read, “Quarter size.” and that ou the other end said, “Two for a quarter.” The worldly cynic&l young man turned to his companion. "That.” he remarked, “just about expresses my opinion of some pt these here congresmen.”—Judge. Got His Answer. When Oscar Wilde came to the United States to lecture on aesthetics in his highly aesthetic velvet costumes —and incidentally to prepare the public mind for thb proper appreciaof Gilbert and Sullivan’s “Pai tience,” in which the aesthetic'move- ! ment was held up to ridicule —he used to complain that America was very un ! interesting since it had “no antiqul ■ ties and no curiosities.” But he ven- ! tured on this disparagement once too often, for in the course of his travels he uttered it to the American Girl, and she replied with the demure depravity of candid innocence that this i was not quite a fair reproach, since “we shall have the antiquities in time, and we are already importing the curiosities.” Instinctive. “So you took your wife to the baseball game?” “Yes,” replied Mr. Meekton. “Did she enjoy it?” “Only part of it. She thought they j wasted a great deal of time rupning i around the lot, but she thought the arguments with the umpire were quite interesting.”—Washington Star. — — .. , I . His Reason.

Autocratic Assertions. “Are you a servant of the people?" asked the constituent. “Yes,” replied Senator Sorghum. “Only it should be observed that a really first-class servant may come pretty nearly being a boss.” When a couple is engaged they look at each other’s virtue’s with magnifying glasses, which are thrown aside on their wedding day. Your discretion might look like cowardice in another. WELL PEOPLE TOO Wise Doctor Gives Postum to Convalescents. A wise doctor tries to give nature its best chance by saving the little strength of the already exhausted patient, and building up wasted energy with simple « hut powerful nourishment. “Five years ago,” -writes a doctor “I commenced to use Postum in my own family instead of coffee.” (It’s a well-known fact that tea is just as injurious as coffee because it contains •caffeine, the same drug found in coffee.) “I was so well pleased with the results that I had two grocers place it in stock, guaranteeing its sale. “I tliepi commenced to recommend it to my patients in place of coffee, as f nutritious beverage. The consequence Is, every store in town is now selling it, as it has become a household necessity in many homes. “I’m sure I prescribe Postum as est , en as any one remedy in the Materia Medica—in-almost every case of indi- i gestion and nervousness I treat, and with the best results. “When I -ohce introduce it into • family, it is quite sure to remain. 1 shall continue to use it and prescribe it in families where I practice. “Ilf convalescence from pneumonia, typhoid fever and other cases I give it as a liquid, easily absorbed diet You piay use my letter as a reference any way you see fit.” Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich.
