Slivers considered Metzger. Pereira. Graumann, Krause and Hamner to be bad men capable of anything. Mike was easily led. “And the doctor?" asked Todd. “He’s playing a deep game,” said the lad. "Metzger's afraid of him." The lad saw he was upon delicate ground. New copventions hedged him around. Here, in the presence of the desired woman he-dared not recount the precise reasons for Metzger’s jealousy. But when he left be could . have rendered Bettington no greater disservice. He bad painted him as the sinister and dominating figure who brooded ever the strange cruise of the Albatross, betraying now qualities of honesty and courage, und then moods of. baffling violence and rage. It was this sense of contrast which most appealed to the boy Augustus Condon. “Well." Crosby Todd said, when he had gone. "I suppose there’s no question that my suspicions were correct?” His words were aimed solely at Mrs. Radway.

slty of trying to convince her of his integrity. They had condemned him already and no more would he have to seek for excuses. In keeping the upper deck free of the crew he was seeking to lessen the risk of sudden attack. There was always a danger that men who had been so much at sea would notice he was not steering a southern course, and bis arbitrary ruling about keeping the deck clear must have engendered misgiving among men whose nafures were given to suspicion snd fear of the motives too obvious to them. They 'would make 8 concerted rush some night'. Perhaps not all would come by the easily watched companion. They would swarm over the stanchions in the darkness and that would be the ead of Howard Bettington, painter of seascapes. Bob, on his way to the bridge, paused a horrified second when he saw Sam’s twisted body. Under Croisby Todds advice he had determined to be very brusque and unbending with the doctor. He was to seek to give the impression of one working for the common good, but not to be influenced by threats or a show of consideration. Contrary to Todd's declaration that the doctor would try and ingratiate himself, there was nqf welcoming smile. “What do you know about the compass?" he was asked. It was humiliating to admit that he knew nothing. For almost an hour Bettington talked to him. “You will take a few hours at the wheel during the day. At night you can sleep. Wake me up directly you see a face anywhere near. I've forbidden, this deck to every one except Slivers and I'm far from trusting him yet." ' "What would anyone want?” Bob asked. He was still staunch in his belief that Crosby Todd's- suspicions were correct ones. “To kill me and you first. After that, break in down beloiv. Look here. Bob. I'm not in any mood for conversation. but let me tell you this. I'qr to be .obeyed absolutely. If Todd comes looking up the companion and I see him. I shall shoot. If he conies when I'm sleeping send him back; for I shall most certainly discipline himJ’ When lie saw Bob quail at this tie smiled. “Wbat would you expect from a desperado like me?” When .Slivers came Up with a tray of food he was minded to be loquacious. The *'*>ok and Metzger were gambling. Krause, Haniner, Mike and Graumann. too, were playing, only ' Kenzie and his hunkies were working. "Tell Metzger to send some of them ' up here—two heave Sam over the side." • ' , Metzger had forgotten all about Sam. Now fie recalled with sudden pleasure: that in Sam's pockets was ’ gold enough to continue that game ; and Win back vviiat i’ereira had taken. I Hamner Was sent on de'k with Mike. ! J Hamner Was instructed to remove the gold. He reported that a. more en--1 tert I rising, person had peen there first. Infuriated, the engineer accused the cook. lb was well known that the' cook had very little and yet. before luck turijed- his way. he had lost a i lot. Murder might have been done but ; for I‘ereiru admitting that, wvliat he I httii he took from Augustus Condon, ' whom he. had catight robbing Sam. Tims it was that Slivers, making ■ sandwiches, was seized upon and put ■ to the torture, lie admitted quickly that he had fobbed Sam. but put the ■' amount at a larger sum than it was. | i’ereira thus- had to pijiy back not only all of Sam's money, but nearly all his winnings. Metzger, now serene in triumph, would not allow the boy to ;be hurt. But Slivers saw murder written in Pereira's look. He aban- • dotted his sandwieh**s( and slipped off. on de* k he went st raight to Betj tington. ' "The cook’s going to murder me," . he said, trying to snjile. “I’*l like to ' stay up here. He’s seared of you.” ] “That might be managed if I could trust you.” . Betting:on stilled the boy's protestations. "Talk makes no im|iression on me. I want action/ You, say rhe cook is| going to murder you. Why not beat him to it? I’m riot wanting you toj kill him. Make him chase you up here and I’ll attend to him.. You’ve got ;to make him so • mad that he forgets it's against orders to come on deck." I The idea met witb the approval of the boy instantly. There was sport in it. .’n<i to be able to tease the ' cook as long as he' wanted to! To bait him and make if im rush enraged I to his fate! Slivers had no definite s idea why it was the surgeon espoused ' his cause. He supposed it was the l result of some quarrel to which he hud not been witness. Bob saw the ductor take a coil of rope and cross the main companion, it was as though a eat watched for a mouse to come <>ut of its hole. ~~ Slivers found the! cook in the store- > room where the stock of wine was ! kept.

"Casein Superior Spray Spreader Makes It Easier to Give Fruit Complete Coat of Lead Arsenate. <Prepared bv the United States Department of Agriculture. > A mixture of lead arsenate and water, when sprayed on tlte fruit and foilage of tree, does not spread as evenly over the surface as is desirl able. The liquid tends to collect in drops and much ,of it rolls off. To overcome this certain muterials ( known as spreaders are used. Use Is New. The use’ of spreaders in codlingmoth sprays is comparatively new. says the bureau of entomology, United States Department of Agriculj ture. So far as is known at present. ; a spreader is a desirable addition’ to a leati-hrsenate spray. It is possible : to control the insect just as thoroughly without the spreader as with it. it is somewhat easier, however, to give i the fruit a complete coat of poison- : when a spreader is included. The spreader cannot be depended on to | make the spray go further, except < that without it there is a tendency ' to overspray, until the material collects in relatively large drops. The j spreader added to lead arsenate has the advantage of eliminating the coh- ! spicuous white blotches that usually appear on fruit sprayed with the arsenical alone. Uhemieil analyses j show that there is just as much poison on an apple w hen a spreader has b»*en used as when it has not. The difference is that the poison is more I evenly distributed. i Among E!est Spreaders. Among the best spreaders are soap, certain oil emulsions, glue, and casein. Casein is by far the most satisfactory spreader obtainable at present, in its pure form it does not mix with Water, and it must be combined with an alkali before it can be put into the spray tank. The manufacturer generally does tills, hut any grower can mix his own spreader by directions the Department of Agriculture will . furnish upon application. Alfalfa Satisfactory Pasture for All Stock Alfalfa makes' a satisfactory horse pasture, and in fact is good for any Class of stock, the only danger being i that of bloat when the growth is veryluxuriant and in wet weather, it is i advisable to have some' tame grass , pasture alongside' the alfalfa so that horses can have a variety of feed, in which case they are not so likely to : take injury from the alfalfa. Tlier.e is not much likelihood of introducing noxious weeds into a ftfrm through the use of sweet clover or ■alfalfa. The first crop is very often cut for seed, though some farmers make a practice of cutting the first ! crop early and high and allowing the second crop to mature for seed. Where I seed is grown commercially, the first crop is the one generally used. ■ Sweet Clover Found to Be Popular Legume White sweet clover proved to be the best legume us a money maker in comparison with four other legumes, on the Tight-colored . soils, according to G. J. Badger. University of Illinois. The crops of wheat, corn and oats following the use of biennial white Sweet clover were worth more moneythan after any other legume!.but red clover was a -close second. Values of crops following hubam (annual Sweet clover), yellow blossom sweet I clover, alsike and yellow biennial were ' close together but below red clover. ■ The yields of corn following the different clovers were 17.7 bushels, following white sweet clover. 15.4 for red clover. .15 after ahiike, 13.4 after yellow sweet clover and 12 bushels after hubam. Wheat yielded highest after hubam and oats yielded highest after yellow sweet clover. lARM EXCISE If sweet clover is plowed down ln f the’ fall, considerable volutteering will be noted in s he spring. • • • Use a 2 to 3 per cent llme-nicotine dust with a-hand bellows duster or blowgun for cabbage aphis.

Southern France Clings to Beloved Bullfight There are many things which distinguish the north of France from the south. The one drinks beer or cider, the other drinks wine. The one cooks with butter, the other with oil. The one eats leeks and the other, garlic. Above all. writes a correspondent of the London Sunday Observer, the Midi has never quite forgiven Paris for having passed the law which makes bullfights illegal. Not that the .Midi observes the law. which is openly and flagrantly defied, and 4he authorities dare pot enforce it. Recently, six bulls were killed, on a Sunday jifiernoon at Bezlers before an enormous crowd, and at the end of the entertainment a member of the municipal council made a speech, in which he referred to the art and the poetry to be found in tire display. Other bullfights have recently taken place, or are announced, at Aries, at ■Nimes, at Grasse and at. Bordeaux, and there is even talk of oneais near. Paris as Compiegne. . English Public Schools The public school system <;f England was introduced by the Foster education, act of IS7O. Before the public schools were introduced into England, the schools were largely denominational. t iffShe tost 19 Pounds of Fat in 27 Days During October a woman in Montana wrote—“My first bottle of Kruschen Salts lasted almost 4 weeks and during that time I lost 10 pounds of fat—Kruschen is all you claim for it—l feel better than I have for years.” Here’s the recipe that banishes fat and brings into blossom all the natural attractiveness that every woman possesses. Every morning take one half teaspoonful of Kruschen'Salts in a glass of hot water before breakfast. Be sure and do this every morning for "It’s the little daily dose that takes off the fat.”—Don’t miss a morning. The Kruschen habit means that,every parti -le of poisonous waste matter and harmful acids and gases are expelled from the system.
