"Buy," said nod Noblo, "look at that!
It's tho bo'sun it'H Heckles!"
"Corao off," Bald his fellow adventurer.
"You Jayl Heckles was only In tho book;
ho didn't live really."
Tho likeness, howovcr, between Heckles
of "Tho Uoy Commodore" nnd tho red
faced, clean-shaved, portly man In blue
pcajackct and scaboots who upproached
was ro reraarknblo that even Frank Noblo
doubted for n moment If Heckles himself
(the man who stood by tho boy commo
dore, don't you know? when theso two
quelled tho mutiny and sailed tho prlr.o
6,000 miles all by tholr own selves In the
teeth of a hurricane) was not now present
In tho flcBh, So earnest and admiration
primed were he stares of the lads that tho
Wan relaxed his pace when ho noticed
them and finally crossed the narrow street
by tho river. His shrewd, rather humorous
ees surveyed tho cousins swiftly and com
piehenslvoly, " 'Morning, shipmates," said he. "Hack
from school for Thanksgiving." hey? Tak
ing a look at tho shipping, hey? My eyes,
If you two ain't cllppcr-bullt! Clean In
every lino. 'Ilout 17 or 18, ain't you?"
"No, sir," Bald Hod. "We're 15 both of
Us Wo'ro cousins."
Tho man looked at tho well set up young
sters so cordially and with auch pleasing
appreciation that Prank took courago to
explain what they wuntcd down by tho
hips.
"Please, Blr," said he, "can you tell us
whero they enqago sallors7"
"Ho? Want to go to sea? Now, that's
ny style. It's tho finest life for a boy
wllh ambition and some get-up to him.
Ilecn to Bca nil my lifo nnd look at me.
Healthy, wlso, and as to wealth why,
boya, thero'n money to burn for a sailor
man as known what's what. Do you bo
long to tho city?"
"No, sir, we're from tho country."
"Ho? And docs pn know?"
Tho boys hesitated and looked downward,
but tho man looked so pleusaut that Hod
poko frankly.
"No. Wo decided ourselves."
"Ho? llun away?"
Tho boys grinned nnd nodded.
"Thon,' 'said tho man, holding out a big
red hand, "put It there.. Lucky you '.not
me. I llko a boy with grit to do for lilrn
nlf. You'vo como to tho right place. You
just follow me. I can seo at a glance you
wcro mado for tho sea. Seeing It's Thanks
giving time, there's something to bo thank
ful for."
Tho faces of tho two boya brightened.
Thoy had. In fact, bocomo greatly bewil
dered and confused In tho tortuous lanes
of tho seaport and wcro really thankful to
find a friend and guide. In n moment, how
over, Frank'H faco clouded.
"I wish," ho whlsporod to his cousin, .as
they followed tholr friend obediently, "I
, wish wo could hnvo put off going away
until aftor tomorrow, though. Say, Itod,
Auut Mary will be mighty busy with tho
turkeys and things."
"Turkeys!';. Jtod sniffed. "What nro yoy
whining about now? What's Thanksgiving
anyhow moro'n, any other day? I'm Jolly
thankful, t can toll you, that I'm dono with
school for good, and farm chores and all
that rot. This will be something llko a
Thanksgiving. Just think, you old Jay,
wo'ro free. There's nobody so frco as a
sailor. All the books Bay so. I hope wo
get a snip right away. TurkoyB! What's
Turkeys? I want lobscouse, I do."
It was near dusk, and It was dusk at
tho farm also. Therd, there was much
bustle and-hattcrlng nnd JdltyInR-ln"lhe
big warm kitchen, whoro nod's mother.
Frank's aunt, waa superintending the thou
sand noedful preparations for tho next day's
feast.
"Ellas! Samson!" she cr6d Into tho big
farmyard through the open door. "Listen!
Isn't that tho master coming? Sounds llko
his team. Bo ready, one of you, to take
tho horses. Polly! Ilun out and get the
parcels, tho boys wero to bring from the
city. Have some coffeo hot. It'a chilly
ana they'll bo half famished."
The buggy drovo up and Farmor Noblo
camo Into tho kitchen, pufllng nnd beating
nis hands together.
"Mother," ho cried, "what trnln did you
tell tho boys to como on from tho city?
cause thoy Bin t como."
"What!" cried Aunt Mary and overybody
else; "thon they can't como tonight. Good
grnclous rool Have tho boys gone and got
loat, or hurt, or"
. Tt cast shadows upon tho holiday. Tho
cheerful bustle of the homestead died off,
Worrlment nnd nnxloty clouded tho faces of
father and mother nnd sisters and servants
and this was nil for tho sako of two rest
less young rascals who thought thoy knew
what was good for them far better than tho
old folks. Thoy would have been greatly
gratified, no doubt, If thsy could havo seen
THE LEAP FOR FREEDOM.
kow much moro thoy wero loved than thoy
deserved. Just at, that moment thoy were
laboriously writing two of those letters
which nro fated never to bo sent.
"So wo'vo doue It nfter dow dcllbrn-
hun," wroto Hod, painfully, "for we know
Its our mlshun In llfo to plow tho seas
and we both are sorry that wo could not
wait till after Thanksgiving, but It was
such a good chance to flud a Nhlp when

ship."
When tho boya had written thus to thol"
distracted kin, on a greasy table In the
back room of a bhabby boarding house
Mr. "Heckles" announced that, as they
would have to go aboard ship early, it
would bo well to retire. He was a fatherly
old chap, this red-faced, big-fisted fellow
who was so like the bo'sun of the "Uoy
Commodore." Ho Insisted upon tho lads
having n llttlo blto to eat nnd drink bo-
foro going to bed, and when thoy had dono
that, they went to sleep on their feet going
upstairs, so urea were moy.
fco tired yet they had cono to bed al
most every night of their open-air lives
Just as tired, without feeling so quoor
and dizzy as they did when they wero now
arouecu. u was not morning. Nobody was
knocking at their door, or crying upstairs
tho familiar warning: "Boys, boyo, boys!
Do you know what tlmo It Is7" In a dazed
way they realized that they wero standing
on a baro floor In the
Ing house, and a most niimnr.
dlnary row outside the door had dlsturbod
their sleep. Voices In the corridor, loud,
hoarso, furious voices of dreadful strangc
ncs wero raised In n din of rage. Chairs
and tables wero bclne
nbout. Heavy feet were rimMnp nm! rrnnh.
Ing desperately. Tho suddenness of their
nwakenlng and tho buzzy, dizzy brains of
tho lads mado tho boys stupid and hindered
them from realizing that, whosoever the
quarrel was, It was not theirs.
"Fire!" Hod gasped.
"Burglars!" Frank choked.
These wero tbo only two alarms they I
cculd Imagine ns occurring In a decent
nouso. They stumbled, In night attire, to
tho door, which was unlocked, and thcu i
across tho hall. The door of another room'
was half opon nnd they 1ml ted at tho en-1
ranco utterly amazed, dumbstrlckcn and
orrlflcd. Inside wero three men who were '
too busy to notice the would-be sailors.
They wcro tho causo of tho disturbance. I
There wero tho tablo overturned and tho 1
chnlrs, ono hopelessly smashed, which had
been banged about. But tho most dreadful
thing to the mind of tho boys was the sight
of their friend. Ho looked no moro llko
tho faithful, honest bluff old Heckles of tho
entrancing story book. Ho looked, Instead,
personified diabolism. His rosy cheeks wero
livid white; his humorous eyes glared llko
tboso of n panther; his nlcnsnnt tonguo wnu
FIGHT IN THE
reeling out most terrifying curses nnd his
b!g, tarry fists wcro hammering hnrd at tho
faco of a most dilapidated stranger.
"You swindle mo! nobbalro! Fief!
Crimp! You 'ave take my money! Give
mo my money. Ah, tr-raltor from be
hind! Fight fair! Ur-r-rh!" So screamed
tho stranger.
The boys, uow wide awake, called out in-
dlgnautly as tho strange mnn screamed, for
all tholr senso of fair play was outraged.
Tho third man, whom they recognized as a
waiter In tho dining room below, had rushed
on the victim from behind and felled him
with a stick.
'Ur-r-rh!" gurgled tho man hideously and
lay still nnd bleeding.
At tho cries of the boys, tho Heckles
man turned on titem. ma rury, reu ny
fighting, was beyond control. He ran madly
nt tho Innocent young lads from tho coun
try, nnd they wore too nstonlshd at Ills
transposition to roslst. Blng. blng Frnnk
nnd Itod got thorn In rapid succession on
tho ears, and landed In tho hall, after
smashing up against tho doorposts brulso-
fully.
'Who gavo you hlda permission to Icavo
your bed, hoy?" cried the, man. "Look
allvo there, Jack! Dope the babies ngaln
tho other's settled for nn hour or two
unyway, If ho nln't killed outright. Tustlo
'em down to Uo carriage. Mvciy, now:"
A glass was placed to each of tho boys'
mouths, and thoy wore forced to drink.
In a second they wero again, aslcop.
And nt that time, although It was lato
nt night, Mr. nnd Mrs. Noblo were sitting
In the parlor of tho farm nnd the mother
was crying.
"I can't help It," sho sobbed. "Thoy
were never from home bo long oororo.
Something must havo happened to thorn.
I've no heart to go on fixing things. What
use would a Thanksgiving dlnnor be with
out the boys to cnt It?"
"Nonsonse, thoy'll eat it, wife, they'll
turn up." PU'.fil
"I'm afraid I'm afraid. They've never
been away beforo, and and I, loved them so.
Oh! Do you think thoy can have don? tt,
and gono away to sea? They wero always
talking of tho sea.
"Hopo not hope not," said tho farmer.
"If thoy havo they'll mighty soon wish
themsolvoH back. Listen. No. I thought
'twaB steps In tho lane."
Whllo these good hearts waited and
watched and feared and hoped, Itod had
a dream that he was In a rowboat, and
tho Htranger who had been knocked down
was lying beside him undor the seats, and
his blood was wet an Rod's hand, Tho
dream was so real that he noticed tho
clouded moon high over hts face, and the
rlpplo of water and the splash of oars, and
saw the face of Heckles In the stern steer
ing, nut ho was so sure it was a dream
that he went moro soundly asleep, When
ho awoke It was still dark and what had
wakened him was the hurt tram tumbling
out of an ovtl smolllng berth In a ves
sel which seemed to bo sailing altogether
on tho ribs of ono side. Ho sat up on
tho floor and found Frank sitting up be
side him rubbing Ills eyes nnd yawning.
"Jlmlny!" said Frank. "I fell out of
bed. Is it' breakfast? Halloa! This ain't
our rooml Whcro aro wo?"
A florco volco from across the dirty dog-
hole answered him,
"Vero? I toll you vere! You U kid
napped, hey? Shanghaied? Samo llko me.
Mo also, I nm Shanghaied, 'Zcy dnro

alive after a voyage wis him you nlro valry
lucky! Me I keel him nm or ho keel mo.
-iieiow, inoro; Are you dead uus come
to llfo again?"
Tho boys sat still, sick and gaping and
too palsied with amazement to movo. They
noted, however, with a stupid nightmarish
glance at each other, that they were dressed
In very shabby, salty Jerseys and greasy
trousers, nnd were barefooted. Now they
did not remember changing their clothes.
They were quite unable to do might but
staro at each other. Tho volco camo
again;
"Tumble up. No shlrkors allowed aboard
tho Jolly 'Mariner.' Step lively or my boots
'11 quicken you."
Then camo another voice, and tho boys
shivered. It was not tho cordial volco of
tho "Boy Commodoro's" Heckles. It was
tho volco of tho savage, rlotor of tho board
ing house the night before.
"Go below and l;lck out these blasted
klJs. Thoy wanted tho sea. Now glvo 'em
a tasto of It. Lazy llttlo fanners. Lend 'cni
your toe. Is that Frenchman not alive
yet? Club him up on dock. Look nllve! All
bands make sail!"
Tho bloodstained face of tho French Bailor
who had been robbed nnd shanghaied that
night was horrible to look nt, as ho roso
to his feet with a ghastly show of teeth and
Bald low to the lads;
"Follow me zca! Vo vlll seo who dares
Shanghai Marseilles Pete."
Still dazed, the boys followed him nnd
when they reached tho deck, the master of
tho ship, the same man who had decoyed
them to the houso of tho crimp,
tho some man who had attacked
Marseilles Pete, that samo man
was In command of tho vessel. All his
nffected cordlnllty and amiable manner was
gone. They saw beforo them In tho faint
light of dawn a big brutal tyrant of tho
seas a man whoso namo waa so well
known for a brute In many ports that ho
could not get n full crow by fair means
and had to shanghai drunken sailors and
doludo likely lads, Ho spat out some nngry

"You wero too drunk to know what you

Frenchman.

Tho starches nro not equal to administer
ing to tho function of tissue building and
repair as nre tho fats.
That vegetablo and not nnlmal fats are
necessary to the physical well being Is
concluslvo to nil who study foods as tho
exigency of tho subject demands Many
possess knowlcdgo without the reason; thnt
Is, they do not know why thoy know. They
aro satisfied with half truths that may work
us more harm than good. For 'example,
wo know that the meat of tho fat animal Is
hotter than of tho lean kind nnd we Im
mediately conclude, thereforo, that tho
very fat animal will furnish us with the
greatest percentage of nourishment, Inas
much as wo got both fat nnd nitrogenous
substances. In buying tho over-fat meat
wo pay for a great amount of material
which Is wasted In tho cooking and not
sultablo for food. Tho meat that shows
less fat on tho surface, or In solid lump,
but has tt distributed In mlnuto subdivi
sions between fiber, where It Is not rec
ognised as fat, Is the most wholesome
meat.
Purpose of Animal Fats.
Wo know that fat peoplo and fat animals
can enduro longer deprivation of food than
tho thin ones. This does not prove, how
ever, that by eating animal fats the human
being will Incrcaso its powers of endur
ance to any great extent. Tho chief pur-
poso of animal fat Is not to benefit man
kind, except Indirectly, but to conduco to
tho creature's comfort. The fat Is stored
In Its body for tho samo economic purpose
as necessitates this provision In tho human
system; to supply forco and endurance as
woll as to guard against the waste of vital
power.
In tho minds of many It seems that tho
only doslgn In this accumulation of fat In
the untrunl Is for no other purpose but to
pamper tho meat cater and supply tho cook
with plenty of groaso with which sho may
recklcsssly nnd lavishly sow the seeds of
Indigestion and futuro misery.
Tho animal dorlves Its supply of fat from
tho vegotahlo kingdom and not second-hand,
as wo do. It seems strango that In a
civilized country tho peoplo can prefer tho
unclean product of tho packing hotisos for
no better reason, ofttlmcs, than tho abun
dant supply It gives to them at a compara
tively low price. They do not know how
greatly thoy obllgo tho packer ly taking
this otherwise unprofitable matcrl.il off his
hands, enabling him, nnd also tho doc
tors, to live well from tho profits gained
through the Ignorance of tho buyer.
Tho sources of tho pure vegetablo fats
aro Just as prolific as are tho animal, be
sides being specially designed by nature
for tho slnglo purposo of bodily nutrition,
whethor applied Inwardly or by outward
nbsorptlon. And no question but what
they would be oven cheaper than animal
fats If tho demnnd was moro general.
Vegetablo fats havo a very distinct ad
vantage ovor nnlmal fats, as thoy ore
naturally entirely frco from any bacteria or
germs of any sort, which aro always llnblo
to bo founa lurking in fats of animal
origin.

The Standard Dictionary is Offered for
Only $7.00
There are so many points of superiority in The Standard Dictionary, aside from its jnar
velously low price, that one can scarcely enumerate them. Some one has said there are in
THE STANDARD 41 dictionaries in one. Each topic is the work of a specialist.
Satisfactory to students and scholars because so complete, containing 300,000 wordu,
nearly three times as many as the old stand-by, Webster's Dictionary. The book stands in
high favor among the wise men on both sides of the Atlantic, and that fact alone establishes
its success. Here are some opinions from the press of Europe:
The Freeman's Journal , Dublin,
Ireland: "For scholarly accuracy and
exceptional fulness ... It standa un
rivalled. ... Or other exlitlnj dic
tionaries with which we are acquaint
ed, we know of nono that can be com
pared with the Standard."
The Belfast Ace, Belfast, Ireland:
". . . It wore difficult to praise this
splendid dictionary too highly. It Is
a work for which all who sptak the
English language may be justly grateful."
THE STANDARD DICTIONARY has a great many attractive features. It is not feas
ible to enumerate all at this time. For Instance, so many words are in constant dispute.
Such words have been referred to 50 leading philologists and their opinions atken as final.
The matter of spelling is also difficult to adjust. In the Standard that has been settled
conservatively, yet accurately.
The quotations nre gems, illustrating to a nicety the use of the words.
The illustrations are numerous, in fact it is a work that will be attractive to children en
this account and consequently all the more valuable as an educator.
No home library where
there nre school children
should be without the Stan
dard Dictionary.
College men generally agree
as to the excellence of the work.

nut fats do not readily becomo rancid, ns
presented In their natural form In nut
foods, properly prepared, or In tho fats
when alt such substances as gum, fiber nnd
llko elements nro eliminated by a careful
refining process, Nut and vegetable fat8,
when sweet nnd fresh, cannot In any way
lnterfero with tho digestion of other foods
as the animal fats will. These facts,
coupled with so many othor features In
their favor, make tho vegetablo fats a
sultablo and desirable food for those of
delicate orgnntsm, as well as tho robust.
Dellcato children and cnaomle subjects
wilt Improve rapidly when palatable and
dlgcstlblo fats aro Introduced Into their
diet In nmounts as large as they can
rcndlly assimilate.
Anothor point In favor of vegetable fats
Is that they can bo taken Into the system
unchanged by tho process of heat and are
therefore more dlgcstlblo and valuable a
food. Animal fats, on tho other hand,
cannot bo eaten In an uncooked state.
And, granting that they are as cleam and
free from germs as the vegetable fats, tt
they aro Improperly cooked they are highly
Irritating to a delicate stomach. Heat
must soften tho cellular fiber structure
which encloses tho globules of fat and
meat, in order to advanco digestion. If
Just tho right degree of heat Is not applied
tho object Is not accomplished. Too fre
quently such a high temperature Is applied
tho fat Is scorched nnd thus rendered
totally unfit to give any one as food.
Vegetable fnts do not scorch easily, as
they reach tho browning point for frying
beforo tboro Is any danger of burning

I Don't You Think
Its Your Move?
Just look around your office! Are your windows
clean? Is the gas light dim? Do you come up
in a dinkey, crowded little elevator that doesn't
run nights or Sundays, and is run by a fresh
elevator boy who jars your breakfast every time
you ride? If so your office is not in
..The Bee Building..
But it ought to be. There is no janitor service
like theirs. You have electric light, steam heat
and perfect elevator service. There are no un
desirable offices in the building. We'll take
pleasure in showing yen them.
