when the surgeon was gone, "and he despises you. He thinks he is my equal because he is taller and stronger. He looked at me as one looks at a child.

You did n<<t know, for instance, that Clements had arranged dictagraphs in various parts of the yacht. I was beset with dangers,’ I was being spied Upon. I could never be certain that they believed in me." “Why should they believe you if you were against them?” This from the inexorable Todd. Bettington experienced a sense of weariness and futility. Was It of any advantage, he wondered, to recount by what unbelievable ways he had been brought to the Albatross? Three of the four would think he lied; perhaps the fourth might wish she could believe. “If I told you.” he said, “you would hardly credit 1L I have no time now for bickering and cmss-exalniiTation.

the moment I am concerned only with your safety. The unfortunate death of Clements has placed all in a terrible predicament.” “Have you the gall to be sorry my uncle killed him?" Todd said angrily. There was disloyalty in allowing such a remark to go unprotested. “Yes.” Bettington said, "That unlucky shot let h-x-l loose. Clements controlled his men absolutely. If he were alive we could count on getting back to New York jinharmed. The men are afraid of touching at any port now where our Hag flies, because they know jail yearns for them. They propose to take the yacht to Limon in Costa Rica. There they'll try to sell her. You understand that if they get to Limon we shan't have a clinnee. We are four to ten. They are armed and we are cooped up here without food. It will take us almost two weeks to get to Limon,” Evelyn Badway shuddered as the image t>f Metzger impressed itself upon her. Novy she knew why he had Stared with such insolent triumph. She had no doubt in her mind that the doctor had pus the matter as mildly as he could to avoid terrifying Mary. “What must we do?" she asked. “I have made terms with them,” he answered. “They have nobody aboard who can work out a reckoning now the captain and first officer are gone. It happens lam the exception. I said I would take her into Lihion if you were unmolested.” "What will happen to ns at Limon?" she demanded. “I don't like the idea of that.” “Nor do I." Todd cried. “I’H tell you what Will happen. We shall be at the nierey of men like that savage beast Sam who frigntens Mary.” 'Hie three looked at him as though he hail betrayed them. ' Bettingtori tried to be patient with his explanations. “I shall not take them to Limon. If 1 did I should most certainly be going to my.own death, for they'd knock me on the head and pitch me overboard directly land came in sight. I m going t<> take a chance that they will pa*»4 their days in gambling and drink. They won’t come to take fresh air. They will drink, gamble, eat, sleep anil tight.” “Where will you take u-?” Mrs. Kadway asked. Her spirits were rising ami she looked about tier in triumph. He had vindicated himself. “Savannah, probably. I shall try to get there in. the early rnorliing w hen they are too far gone in liquor to see the lainlmarks.” -Won't ! they find you're changed your course?” .Mary asked timidly. ‘•That's the only possible danger that I <c-e. There’s a -leek hand named Mike at the wheel. n< vv. 1 shan’t let him take any mOre tricks at it. I shall sepd him below to -carouse' witfi the rest. We ought to be able to make Savannah in forty-eight hours, if the men in the engine room do their share.” , • You can't be at the wheel two davs and two nights on end." Mrs.. Kadwav exclaimed. ‘T can. and will.” he said cheerfully. "I chink,” he added deliberately, “that I can. succeed if . I meet no opposition here." He looked across the table to Crosby. Todd. “Supposing they do find out you're double-crossing them?" Bob Unwin said, witli feverish interest. "More . bloodshed.' he answered gloomily; the thought oppressed him. He rose heavily te his feet. “1 must impress on you to remain here and run no risks; here you are safe. Outside. I can't answer for your safety." "There's nothing to etit.’t said Bob Unwin. He realized lit was hungry. “I'll get something.” Bettington answered. ’T’ou't open the door to anyone but me." A few minutes later they heard a strange voice in the corridor, it was Mike aiding him to remove tlie captain's body. Todd.had been much at-tuelie-1 to who had brought him up sitiee tils father went down w ith h;s ship ‘at sea. almost a score of v< ars since. There was a certain boyish,' passionate lovalty in his regard for the dead man. which increased tris suspicion of the doctor into some harder quality of hatred. "I don t believe a word of his lies." fodd c ried. “Mrs. Kadway.-van t you see tie s dec riving yoti?

Mrs. Kadway put her arms about the girls shoulder. Her eyes were moist. my dear,” site said, “you mustn’t give up hope.

I know we sire in danger, but he's standing between the,crew and us.” She felt utterly unable to givx? reasons which would convince the group around her.

All Beekeepers May Grade Honey Special Permission Not Necessary to Use Standard Grades. ; (Prepared bv the United States Department of Aerlculture. > Many beekeepers mistakenly believe that they are forbidden to use the United States standard grades for jhoney unless they have special per- ! mission or unless a federal agent has ’ inspected and graded their noney. | says James 1. Hambleton of rhe bureau of. entomology, United States De- ! I partmeht of Agriculture. Mupt Comply With Rules. ■ "It should be clearly understood.” says Mr. Hambleton, "that anyone who complies with the United States grading rules for honey is entitled to use the United States grades and grad- | Ing stamp. He may u>e the official , , grading stamps or may incorporate ~ J the stamp into his own label if he so , wishes." A circular aas bt'en issued i suggesting away in which this can he > done. This will be sent with other I information on grading, upon applica- ! tion so the Division of Bee Culture Investigations. Bureau of Entomology, United States Department of Agricul- I ture. Washington. D. C. The process of grading extracted i honey is simple. Mr. llaiybleton says. ! The Toney must be of good flavor, of ) proper density, and as clean as specified for the grade. When packed in opaque containers, the color of the honey must be marked on the grade label. Most beekeepers may have samples of the honey graded as to color, I free of charge, by sending a two- [ ounce sample to tile state division‘of markets, the state specialist in beekeeping; or u the state agricultural i college. ..ack of Color Grader. Many states now have one or more ' standard color graders at tb< service i of the beekeepers, but if no grader is . available in the state, beekeepers- may , send samples of honey to the Division i of Bee Culture Investigations.

I Wild Onion Destroyed by Careful Plowing I tin cultivated land wild onion can seldom Ice destroyed in one season. , The first step is to plow in the fall as late as .practicable, the depth of I the furrow being gauged to bring the i roots, or bulbs, to—the surface where the.v will be killed by freezing.. As i some of tlie foots will lie through j the winter, the land should be plowed i again in lite spring, at. a depth whic h ‘will, throw tlie roots to the surface i where many more of them will be killed by spring frost. Following this-.' treatment, a clean cultivated crop followed in turn by wheat • nd clover, or tiny other thickly sown crop, will rsnI allv completely rid the land of the I |,e ' L ] Destroy Cutworni Moth by Plowing in Autumn The cutworm moth lays her eggs I on weeds and grass in late summer. 1 When the eggs hatch, the worms feed - ■ for • while and then enter the ground where they make a little nest for the winter. In the spring they come out and feed on tlie vegetation available. It is rermhmended that tlie garden be plowed iu the fall so as to disturb the nests, a Ik'l many will tie ki!le<i.

Tractor Cotton Picker Clear* Field Quickly The 1830 season may prove as epochal in the cotton industry as did the invention of the cotton gin by Eli Whitney, according to Wheeler McMillen, agricultural expert, writ<ing in Country Home. The new development! says McMillen, is the tractor cotton picker, which threatens to do away with negro labor in the fields, Avhich has not been improved upon since the earliest days of cotton in America. In a test in Kentucky the fastest colored cotton picker known started down a long row and in 2 hours 2f minutes he had picked 45 pounds of cotton, a record in itself. Then the machine' started and in two minutes it pulled out of the row to unload 54 pounds of cotton.
