When she rang the.bell it was for Ciiptain Hallett she sent. “How soon rah we get baric to New York?" she demanded when he had recovered from his astonishment at the sjvectacle. He comffdered a moment. "I'm afraid we won’t get there in ' time. 1 mean." he said In confusion.for lie had a natural delicacy at such it moment, “we may have to bury him at «c«.” “Very well," she said. “I will leave It in your hands; An.i Captain Hallett. you complained that Mr Railway did not give you complete charge. I shall remedy that.- Tell the steward ,to come to the library.” She looked wiili the utmost distaste at this small grinning man. "I have told Captain Hallett,'* she gald quietly, “that he has absolute j control now.” "Hasn't he been captain heretofore, mudutn?" Clements returned. "You know whiit she means,'* Hal left said fiercely. "I don't want to \ apeak disrespectfully of the dead, hut ’ Mr. Rndwny was too-easy with you 5 He gave you authority you hadn’t nny right to, and .Mrs. Railway is taking that away from you. Isn't that what you mean, ma'am?” “Exactly. You understand.. Mr. Clements?” "1 fear I do not, madam Capjaln 'Hallett suffers from an inability to think clearly or correctly. You will Invariably find such characteristics with his type of skull. He s narrow ami prejudiced ami seefns my enemy although I have tried to help him.” "Help me!" Hallett snorted. Clements still addressed Ids remarks to Mrs. Radway;. "With your permls alon. madam. I will announce Captain Hallett's promotion to the men. It will amuse them.” “Please let us hare no violence,” Mrs. Kadnay said sharjdy. She had seen a baleful light in the captain's eye and bad noted the clenched list und tly step forward. “I'll attend to hint later," Hnllett said, breathing hard •'I hope you will do nothing of the sort,” she said, “Personally, I have witnessed none of the slights you refer to. I have only noticed that you are uniformly uncivil to Doctor Waite and never lobe an opportunity to spenk >ll of Clements" . “They're two of a kind," he «“id doggedly. She made a gesture of weariness. "I want to hear nothing more about It.” "It's my duty to tell you.' he persisted. "There's something wrong with the crew.” “ j “You are captain,” she reminded him. # “I'll show them I am," he Med and made his way on deck. Slowly Mrs. ’tmlwiy went to Mary's stateroom. The girl was dressing hurriedly; she feared she was late. "My dear.“ said the elder woman. “We are going back to New York. Mr. Radway died last night.” Then, suddenly, she troke’down and wept tumultuously. Mary tried In vain to stem this torrent of tears. "She must have loved him. after all,” thought the girl. She was not to know how much of relief was mixed in this seeming , grief. After all these years Evelyn Radway found herself free. No more need she fear all those subtle cruelties with which he had so often amused himself, or look forward to succeeding years with dread. "Yon must send your parents a wireless.” she said when she was mare composed, "but I <an‘t spare you Mary. Yon must not leave me when we get ashore. .1 have tad very few loyal friends In my life and 1 need •ome now.” On deck Captain Hallett was already asserting himself.

"I am always sure; of a kindly pat on the hack from you” Bettington an swered It was-not so easy to return meek answers to a man of Hallett's type, "1 had an idea you n.ten of the sea were bluff, hearty sort of fellows, and yet you tell me you have been saving things tr .Mrs Radway which were unwarrantable. . . . It is that your mariners' way of giving a man a square deal?” "A square deal for square men is my motto." Hallett retorted. "I say whnt I mean and I mean what 1 say 1 don’t like you." How impossible it seemed to he able to make a confidant and allay of such an incarnate prejudice as this! He vvnti-hed flallett cross to the' wireless house; there must he some sort bf kindliness mi the man for. he put his arms about the shoulders Os Ills tiephcw and young VnWtu in g friendly fashion. "The fool," Bettington muttered. . "Those three and I ate the only ones aboard to guard the w<.ni<-n if there's trouble; he makes it very hard for me.” He turned to see Clements coming tow an) hi’m. "Itoclor." said the steward loud .enough for it lie captain to hear. “I’d tw glad if yoti'd have a look at my throaC it f<>■:- like ionsllltls.” "Hi. you steward.

I . r>?-'finL't m. ns he followed Clem- ' ents to his doctors office, wondered j what rage was tea fling at the vitals of j this lit.be. deadly man; "If Hallett'only knew it,” said Clem ents, "tl»e noise he Is making is really his death rattle.” He tiling himself into a with my throat, but he isn't allowed io come in here without your permission; that's shipboard etiquette. HaJlett has practically told Grau atin that if the vyireless isn’t ready 'for'semliug. messages in a few hours’ time, he'll put him in irons.” "Thar wont hurt you." Bettington I said. "Why ItMik on it as a great mis foil une?" “Because with Griumann out of the way they II put the instrument In shape. 1 cant have it known that I Iladway Is dead." "It will have to be known We are runniii'! back to New York now " "But we shan't get there. Listen to me. <»rme. I thought when I saw him I’lying dead that the whole game was up. Just as you did. But it isn't. Mrs Rudway is a rich woman in her own rigid and she is Itijdway’s sole heiress. .[ She will Ive one of ttie richest women I in a World of rich women. If J could I get a million from Radway. 1 can get it just as.easily from her.” - Bettington .shook his hehd obstinately. "The cases are not parallel. Mrs. Iladway Is not money mad. Her for tunes are pot dependant on her personal exertion.” "You miss the whole point of It.” Clements returned. 'She, like Radway. will see that a million is the easiest way out." “Out of what?'' Bettington cried sharply. "I >itlicuhles. I shall not specify them, one is named Sam and the other is known as Metzger.’’ “Impossible," Bettington asserted. "What about Hnllett and the others?" "You have heard the death rattle hi his throat. As to the tubers, what are they but boys? There will be no trouble at all. 1 think I can prevail upon Mrs. Radway to see what Is best to Ih* done. I count on your influence with her. Naturally Hnllett has tried to inlluence her and most likely something of what he has said has made her uneasy. She will realize that her position aboard is different now. Rad way was the conventional protection and now he is removed. Inevitably, she will become more reserved, but that will not mean she has ceased to have confidence in you.” Betlington experienced tees pleas ure In this comforting thought. It was quite probable that she would feel as Clements said. “Mpiat do you want me do do?" he . demanded. ’ "This Is my plan." said Clements "I want her assuranre that the money will be paid. If she agrees to do this without consulting lawyers or friends. I shall let that fool of a captain run the Albatross Into the East river and rant and dictate as he chooses. 1 shall attend to him at my leisure. She will refuse at first; she will certainly want to consult some one. Women always d». 1 shall forbid her to tell Hallett. He would never allow it on a ship he cotnnmnded. He couldn't. He's the obstinate, honest sort, who would meet death for a prejudice and think he was dying for principle. She will talk to you.” “And she'll find me backing yon up very strongly,” What was a million dollars ctmipared with the immunity it bought I "1 am going to see her now." Clements rose without any appearance of baste, “It may be she will call you in while I am there. You will be indignant. angry, threatening, until I point out the strength of my position. Then you will see light." Wbal a damnable situation to be in! Bettington was a mun who detested deceit and how he was committed to the practice, of it in order tv safeguard the woman for whom he care<i. He wondered if he could explain that his actions were dictated solely in the interests of Mrs. Radway and his friend's daughter. Hallett’s unfortunate enmity, which had infected the wireless operator and Rob, would m«k»

any.effort to explain the real situation impossible. Hallett would scent a plot, khout loudly enough for some of the crew to hear of his opinions, and Bettington would lose his usefulness. • • • • • • • Captain Hallett read the burial services for those who die at sea ami Mrs. Radway beheld all that was mortal <>f her tyiant-sink Into the green water. All hands were mustered to the last rites and she saw, for the first time, to what men tlie Albatross was entrusted. There was a ravening look about these creatures gathered together by the steward; they reminded her of the crews she had read of as gathered by crimps for service in merchant vessels of another day. She was relievetl when the captain dismissed them to their stations. , “Mary." site said jdndlv. "run away and talk to your wireless boy; 1 want to he alone.” She wondered how she would order her life now that there would lie none to coerce her, She no longer wanted the care of great houses or the ordering of splendid entertainments.

' r Her train of thought was broken'i>y I Clements, / ; “1 want a few minutes’ talk with you, madam," he began. She hesitated a little. She was in no n.oo<l tor business. She supposed It was something to do with the catering. This* was a department over which htr late husband had exercised his own supervision. “Tomorrow morning," she told him. "I am not feeling very well today.’’ “I fear that will be too late," he an- j swered; She had a premonition that what he wanted to say must be of great importance. But she did not let him know that Ins presence had a constricting effect upon her as though some malign influence had fastened upon her heart. “What is it?" she asked. He looked around him. There were several people on deck. Bob Unwin, his sister and Crosby were groupevl together. Hamner was polishing brasses near the bridge; Hallett was tn the ehartroom and a deckhand, named Mike, at the wheel. “1 niust not run the risk of being interrupted,” he said gravely, “1 suggest the library, madam, if you will permit It,” When she had taken a seat below and bad told Clements to sit, she asked him for what reason he needed privacy . "I have observed you for some time now, Mrs. Railway,” he began, “an<l I think you will keep calmer than most women when I tell you what you must bear.” She noticed that he had dropped the use of “madam." He was no longer the Obliging ami civil steward. Although he was courteous, his manner was that of an equal. "What 1 have to say.” he continued, “directly concerns the safety of. among other pe<,ple.. Miss Unwin. 1 am going to ask you to promise me vou will no', consult'Captain Hnllett or his nephew nn what I letl you. They are too much prejudiced to be of value" ' "And if I de<llne?” He reflected a moment. “1 am going to rely on your Intelligence when you have heard my news to do as I advise.

Ami you may have seen the man called Sam. he is the broad ape like creature with the roll- ; ing walk and enormous face. In his { less angry moods lie likes the solace of youth." Evelyn Railway put her hands over her bunting face. "Stop !• stop I" she cried. Most vividly the horrors presented themselves | to her which he had but hinted at. They were ravening v olveS. She wondered tow many more of them were hidden in the secret places of this horrible vessel to come out like jungle animals in the darkness. Little Mary Unwin, who had been allowed to come on the trip because she had promised to take care of her! “I am glad you see what lies In store - if you are foolish enough to force my hand. You are helpless. It is fortunate a man of my temperament Is in command." He wondered what sudden thought changed her face. She was looking at him with almost a pleading way. “Is—is Doctor Waite one of your men?” ■ • "No. What makes you think that?" He could see that her relief was enormous. t'Capiain Hallett told me you and he rwere so much together." She felt ashamed that he had doubted him. She ought to have known that he was one of the dependable loyal men of stuff true friends are made of. There was one man aboard on whom slpej could rely for guidance. ClemAti made the surgeon’s position even imore reasonable. "My health is indifferent and I have needed his care? I suppose you wish to talk this over with him. Warn him that a word to Hallett, his nephew or the Unwins, and there will be bloodshed Instantly. If once fighting begins even 1 can’t say when it will cease,” He did not try to emphasize matters. He could see that she had made up her mind.. She would not let Hallett know. The matter of the payment would be taken up when she was in a more composed frame of mind. The coining interview with Andrew Orme would be of great service to him. A million dollars! With his lion's share of it, what might not his next carefully planned coup realize? Most criminals have longed to be | able to start anew with the knowledge the years have fin ught them und freed from those marks of Identification which the police record so well. Perhaps In all the history of crime there had been no such ease as that of the man who called himself by the name of Clements. Not again would be run the risks that he bad once taken. With money, he could always hire men for the rougher work. He roused himseif from these pleasing reflections when Mrs. Radway rose to her feet. She was a beautiful woman. There was little to marvel at In the dmtor’s surrender to her charm. He rather liked the man he thought of as Andrew Orme, and he hoped Andrew Or»ie liked him. The nilbor operation of which he had . spoken was In reality one of extreme delicacy; no bungler must attempt It. He intended to keep Orme with him permanently. Facial surgery was not old enough for anyone to state with certainty how well it would last. "1 think I should like to see Doctor Waite,” Mrs; Radway said. “1 will send him in, but caution you not to let him try any violence with me or endeavor to make Hallett an ally. If he disol>eys your warning he may be dooming you to a worse danger than he knows.” Bettington was in his room. “Mrs. Iladway wants you. Everything h-s turned out as I wished. She will warn you not to be violent to 2 me; she thinks you are her only friend, it will not be difficult; already she believes In you. You have no prejudices to overcome."

I. Jacob's Birth (25:21-26). ! In answer to Isaac’s prayer, a seed j was given unto him. Before Jacobs birth God revealed unto Rebekah the fact that he should have the place of : pre-eminence. “The elder shall serve the younger." In this God reversed | the ordinary law concerning the position of the elder son. The act of taking hold of Esau’s heel as he was horn, indicated Jacob's nature. The ; name Jacob means "supplanter.” 11. Jacob’s Schemes (25:27-34 ; 27: 121)). 1, He secured Esau's birthright (25:27-34). It was right for Jacob to have the birthright since It was according to God's plan as revealed to Rebekah, but his scheme to get it was reprehensible. He took advantage of a brother's weakness to drive a sharp bargain. 2. Secured his father’s blessing (27:1-2*.)). (1) Was requested to get venison for his father. (2) Rebekah's scheme (yv. 5-33). It was God’s plan j that Jacob should be at the head, but I He did not need the sin of Jacob and his mother to bring it about. 111. Jacob’s Flight to Haran (ch. 28). Jacob’s deceit and cunning got him. into trouble. He was compelled to flee from his outraged brother. He now began to reap what he had sywn. 1. Jacob's vision at Bethel (28:1015). Jacob not only had to flee to save his life, but he had to leave home and mother. When night overtook him, he was obliged to sleep in a field with a stone for a, pillow-. It was under such I circumstances that the Lord gave him the wonderful vision at Bethel. (1) He saw a ladder reaching from earth to heaven (v. 12), Jesus Christ is the ladl der, connecting earth and heaven for us (John 1:51). (2) He saw angels of God upon the ladder (v. 12). These angels were divine helpers to .render i needed assistance along life’s way. (3) The Lord standing above the ladder (vv. 13-17). To show Jacob that the ladder did not reach merely into space God appeared and talked with him. a. He declared that He was the God of Abraham and of Isaac, thus assuring Jacob that the same favor that was over h:« fathers was over him (v? 13). b. lie renewed the covenant as to the land. Though Jacob was now fleeing I from the land, the covenant would not fail. (v. 13). c. He assured him of a numerous seed (v. 14). d. The divine presence with Jacob (v. 15). Though he had sinned, God was with him. e. Jacob should he brought again into the land (v. 15). 2. Jacob’s vow (vv. 58-22). His vow included three things. (1) Dedication of himself to God (v. 12). (2) Establishment of worship (vv. 18, 19). (3) Consecration of his substance (▼.22). IV. Jacob’s Return to Canaan (chaps. 31-33). 1. Lord instructs him (31:11-21). Twenty years have elapsed since his experiences at Bethel. These years were spent in i’adan-aram with his mother’s people. Here he served Laban for twenty years. Though It was the purpose of God for- him to return, he took clandestine leave of Laban. Laban pursued him in anger, but God ai>I>eared to Laban and forbade him to lay hands upon Jacob. 2. Jacob on the way (Gen. 32). Though Jacob fled from Laban's pursuit, a tnpre formidable enemy faced him in the person of Esau. (1) Jacob meeting the angels (v. 1). (2.) Jacob praying (vv. 9-12). Not receiving a reply from Esau. Jacob cast himself upon God In prayer. (3) The angel wrestling with Jacob (vv. 2432). He continued to wrestle until the approach of morning, not knowing that It was God In human form wrestling with him. God humbled him by dislocating his thigh. When thus humi bled, he Quit wrestling and clung to . God. He got the blessing when he, conscious of his weakness, laid h<»ld upon GimL (4) A new name (y. 28 He was no longer Jacob, the “supplanter." but Israel, a “prince of God.” His new name was given him after he had a new nature. The Age of Chivalry Some say that the age of chivalry Is past The age of chivalry is never ! past so long' as there is a wrong left unredressed on earth, or a man orwoman left to say: “I will redress that wrong, or spend my life in the attempt.” The age of chivalry is never past so long ns we have faith enough to say- “Gcal will help me redress that wrong, or, if not me, he will help those who come after tne.” —Charles Kingsley. ? Have Patience Do not be troubled if, in spite of all that thou triest to do, the times are out of joint and things go wrong and thou seemest to do not good. God made the world, not thou. He has patience, shouldst not thou have patience? Even thy poor good deeds cannot die.—F. W. Farrar. Need Ever Detpair It Is a great truth, "God reigns," ano therefore grace reigns through righteousness unto eternal life, by Jesus Christ our Lord; and. therefore, no sinner on earth need ever despair.— (chabod Spencer. -—•a;

Little Danger Now to Huntera of “Big Game”. ■ Wild beasts are not one-hundredth I so dangerous as 'they are reputed, writes John W. Vandercqok in the Forum. All capable judges not obsessed by their own importance and by a desire for indiscriminate killing agree to that. The two greatest of hll wild animal photographers — Maj. Arthur Dugmore and Martin Jolinson—ridicule the notion of the spontaneous ferocity of big game animals. "In tlie course of an ordinary African journey, and I care not where j one’s route lies or how remotely one I penetrates, I profoundly believe there j is no more danger from animals than : there is from being hit by a stray meteor," says one noted wild animal | hunter. Every big game hunter, and there are invariably several in a party, is equipped with a multiple shot, modern rifle, which aims true at upward of half a mile and delivers such a | terrific impact that the bullet will upset most anil lais, no matter where it hits. And al vays rtear at hand is to be found an efficient'native gun bearer, equipped with and capable of using a duplicate weapon. Much shooting, in fact, is now done from the idiotic security of an automo- , bile’s back seat. Some expensive Englishmen have even announced that there is "sport” to'be had from an i airplane. . I Saved Baby Squirrels Soot hitd filled an unused chimney r at Dover-Foxcroft, Maine, to within i 17 feet of the top, and that situation ' together with a rope induced gray I squirrels to set up housekeeping therein. When an automobile killed' > mother squirrel, a kind-hearted man 1 used a flashlight to investigate the J. old. unused chimney and discovered five babies. Rescued and fed with a medicine dropper, they are now a part of Dr..W. A. I’urinton's family circle, and' are expected to grow up and live happily ever after.—lndianapolis News. Where He Drew the Line A fine example of self-denial was _ that exhibited by a rotund Detroiter. Although he had had only a light snack, consisting ot two English mutton chops, weighing about a pound each, seven broiled kidneys eight or nine broiled mushrooms, five ears of corn on the cob, a sheaf of aspara gus, six rolls, a bowl of soup, ten crackers, a quarter-pound of cheese, and four cups of coffee, he steadfastly refused potatoes. “Potatoes,” he explained, “are fattening.” Electric Dog ' A French engineer has invented an electric dog that jumps, barks fiercely and even tries to bite when—theoretically—a burglar throws the light of a torch In its face. The itc • vention works on the principle of electric cells which set up a current when a ray of light reaches them. This in turn starts the motor that makes the dog act like a real animal. Never lend a gun to a man who leads an aimless existence.
