CHAPTliN V Continued. ,C Ho talked In n low voice, but It rum bled like the distant roar of n hull. Itniney looked nt the Indomltnhlc Jaw that the heard could not hide, nt tlie Brent barrel of his chest, the bough like arms, the swelling thighs and calves, nnd responded to the sugges tion that Lund could rise In Berserker tnge nnd sweep nsldo all .opposition. "Cnrlensuys tlmt the skipper's life Is in Ii'Is linnds," he said. "Wliat do rcu inline of that?" "J don't know what to make of It," niiswcTiJd Lund. "If It is, God help the Bldppoi I 1 reckon he's in n bad way. ITnnyhfiiv, he's out of it for the time bein', 'itniney." "There's the girl," said Ralney. "I Jon't believe she wants to mnrry Carl scn." "If she does," said Lund, "she ain't the kind we need worry about. If you're Interested about tho gal, Itniney, an' I take it you arc, I'm tcllln' you that Carlsen'll marry her if it suits ids book. If It don't, ho won't. An' if lie wins out, he'll take her without both erin nlwut prnycr-books an' ceremo nies. I know his breed. All men nro more or less selfish an' shy on morals, In streaks more or less wlde hut that Carlson's Just plain skunk. I'm no saint, hut, so long ns I can keep wlg glln', thci nin't enny hunter or sea man goln' to harm n decent gal. Thnt's another wny they nin't my equal, Ralney. Savvy? Nor Is Carlscn. Thcro nin't enough rcni manhood In that Carlscn to r: on? a skillet. How about it, Kalney; are you lined up with me?" "Just ns far a. I can go, Lund. I'm Kith you to the limit." Lund brought down his hnnd with n pilghty swing nnd caught at Rnlney's In mid-air, gripping It till Ralney bit his lips to repress n cry of pain. "You've got the guts!" cried the flout, checking the loudness of ills voice abruptly. "I knew It. It ain't MI goln' to go as they like It. Watch my smoke. Now, then, keep out of Cnrlsen's wny all you can. He may try an' pick u row with you that'll put jrou in wrong all around. Go easy an' pcnk easy till land's sighted." "What do you think Cnrlsen'sgnme Is, if it goes through?" "He's fox enough to think up n dozen wnys. Run the schooner nshorc somewhere In the night. Wreck her. Git 'em in the boats with the gold. In side of n week, Doming nn' one or two others would have won it. Then he'd have the only gun he'd shoot the lot of 'em nn' sny they died nt sea. Ho ain't got enny more warm blorfd than a squid. Or he might laud, nnd nccuse effi nil of piracy.. What do we care about his plans? lie uln't goln' to put 'em over." Ralney had to relieve Hansen. He left Lund primed for resistance against Carlscn, ngnlnst all the crew, If neces sary, resolved to navo the girl, hut, ns Lund stayed below and the time slid by, his confidence oozed out of him, and the odds nsoumed their mathemat ical proportion. What eould they do against so mnny7 Hut ho held Arm In his dcter minnlion to do what he" could, to go down with the forlorn hope. The Knrluk wns bowling along northward toward landfall and the crisis between Lund nnd Carlscn nt good speed. The weather lind subsid ed nnd the half gale now served the schooner Instead of hindering her. Ralney turned over tho wheel to n sea man nnd pneed the deck. Lund's mys terious ldnts were unsatisfactory. He could not believe them without some basis, but the glnnt would never go further than vague tnlk of a "Joker" or card up his sleeve. And they would need more than ono enrd, Ralney thought. Ho wondered whether they could win over Hansen, who had spoken for Lund ngnlnst rho skipper, nnd had then kept his counsel. But he dis missed Hnnscn ns nn ally. Tho Scan dinavian was too cautious, too apt to consider such things ns odds. Sandy wns useless, nsldo from his good-will. He was cowed by Doming, senred of Carlscn, too puny to do more than he had done, give them warning. Tnmatln? Would he fight for the share of gold he expected to come to him? Lund had described him ns neu tral. But, If he knew thnt ho wns to lio left out of the division? At nny rate, Tomadn might provide him with a weapon, n shnrp-blndcd vegetublo knife if nothing better. He could not class Tumnda as an unimportant fac tor. There wns no question to Ralney but thnt Tnmadn was, by caste, above his position as sealer's cook. It was true that n Japanese considered no means menial If they led to the proper end. Was that end merely to gain posses sion of his share of the gold, or did Tamndn hnvc some deeper, more com plicated rgnsnn for signing on to run the gnlley of the Knrluk? Somehow Rnluey thought there was such a rea son. CHAPTER VI. Tarnada Talks. It wns nn hour from tlie third mcnl of the day. Tnnindu was Juggling the food for three messes, and ho wns do ing It with tlie calm precision of one who has every detail well mapped out and Is moving on schedule. The boy Sandy was not there, probnbly en gaged in laying the tnblo for the hunt ers' mess, Ralney Imagined. Tumnda regarded him with eyes that did not lack a certain luster, as n sloeberry might hold It, but which, beneath 'their hooded lids, revealed "You Are Not Hating Me DecauseYou Are Californlan and I Japanese," He Said. neither Interest, nor curiosity, nor friendliness. They belonged In his un wrinkled fnre, they were nl together neutral. Yet they seemed covertly to suggest to Ralney that they might, on occasion, flume with wrath or hatred, or show the burning light of high In telligence. "Tnmadn," ho queried, "you think I am your friend, that I would rather help you than otherwise?" "I think thnt yes?" nnswerod the Jnpnuesc without hesitation and with out servility, "You are not hating mo' becnusu you, are Cnlifornlnn and I Jnpunese." ho frihl. "I know thnt." There wns little time to fpnrc, and there was likelihood of Interruption, so Rnlncy pluugod into Ills subject without Introduction, "They promised you n share of this trensure, Tamndn?" ho asked. , "They promised me that, yes." Vrfi fsPSLBsssV Mt nMwwmUmlrV 1V 17V) "They do not Intend to glvo it to you. You may hnvc guessed this, but I am sure of It. I, too, am promised some of the gold, but they do not In tend to give it to me. They )IIJ offer Mr. Lund only a small portion of what vns originally arranged, tho sniue amount as tho rest of them nre to get. Ho will refuse thnt tomorrow, when a meeting Is to be called. Then there will be trouble. I shall stand with Mr. Lund. If we win you will get your share, whether you help us or not. If ypu help us I can promise you at least twlco the amount you were to get." "How can I help you? If this Is to I o talked over nt n meeting I shall not be allowed to be present. 1 do not think it will help you for mo to Join. I do not see how you can win. If you can show somo way out I will do what I can. But I like to see way out." He mollified the bald acknowledg ment of his neutrality with a little bow and n hlsslng-ln breath. Back of It all was a will that wus Indexible, thought Ralney. "If wo lose, you lose," ho went on lamely. He hnd coino ou n fool's cr rnnd, ho decided. "I think I shall get my money," 6nld Tamndn. -The Oricntnl gave a swift smile, that held no mirth, no friend ship, rather, a sardonic nppreclntlon of tlie situation, without rancor. "They nro very foolish," ho Bald. "They make mo cook, they cat what I serve. They say Tnnmdn Is very good cook. But ho Is Jap, d -n him, Sup. pose I put something In that food, that they would not tnste7 I could send them nil to sleep. I could kill them. I could do It so they never suspect, but would go to their beds nnd never get up from them. It would be very easy. Yet they trust me." Tho statement wns so matter-of-fact that Itniney felt his horror gather slowly as he stared at tho Impassive Oriental. A thought suddenly flashed over him. Was Tnmadn In league with Carlson? Had lie mlstuken his man? Did Carlscn plnn to hnvc Tnmadn un dertake a wholesale poisoning to se cure the gold himself, providing tho drugs? Was it a friendly hint from the Japanese? When Rnlney's wntcUiwns ended and he wns closeted wltrFLund In the latter's cabin, the giant promptly quashed all discussion of Titmndu's nttlludc. "I'll put no trust In nny slunt-eyed, yellow-skinned rlce-entcr," he an nounced emphatically. "They're ngnlnst us, race an religion. They Want California, or rather, tho Pacific coast, an' they think they're goln' to git It. They're no more nkln to us than n srJ;c Is a cousin to an eel. They're not .' our breed, an' you can't mix the two. I'll have no deal with Tarnada, beyond gettln' dope out of him. If he helped us It 'ud be only to further his own ends. Not thnt he can do Vnuch unless " He lowered his voice to a husky whisper. 'There's ono thing. mny slip. In our gold-gettln', nintey," he said "the Japanese. I doubt if this Island Is sc' down on American or British charts But I'll bet It Is on tho Japanese. They don't know of the gold, or It wouldn't bo there. Rightly, the, Island mny belong to Russia, but, since" the war, Russia's In n hnd way, an' enny tiling loose from the mainlnnd'll be goblAgil by Japan. "Wlint the Japs grab they don't le.t go of. If they should suspicion us of glttln' gold off enny Islnnd they c'ud trump up to call theirs, If they found gold on us nt all, It 'ud bo all off with, us nn' the Karluk. We'd o dumped inside of some Jap prison nn' tlie schooner confiscated. "An' If things go right with us, an' we ever sight the smoke of a Jap gun boat comhi' our way, the first thing I'll be apt to do will be to scrag Ta rnada or he'll blow the whole proposi tion, whether we've got the. gold aboard or not. Even If lie didn't want to tell becoz of his own share, they'd git it out of him what we was after, "Ever play much nt cards?" ho went on. "Play for yore last red when you don't know whero to turn for another, an' have all the crowd thlnkin' yo'ro goln' broke as they watch the play? An then you slap down n card they've nil overlooked nn' larf In the other chap's face? "Thnt's What I'm goln' to do with Carlscn. I've got that kind of a card, matey, an' I nin't goln' to spoil my fun by tcllln' even you what It Is, though yo're my partner In this gamble. It's a trump, nn Cnrlsen's overlooked It." Lund chuckled hugely ns ho mixed himself somo whisky nnd water. Rnlney refused n drink. Ho wns nerv ous, botlfcrlng over whnt the outcome might he, nnd how he might hnndle himself. He was not nt all sure of his own grit. There was a nasty doubt as to his own prowess and his own cour ago thnt kept cropping up. And that state of mind is not n pJcnsnnt one. Italncy went over and over tho situ ation as a squirrel might rnce around tlie bnrs of his revolving cylinder, nnd came to only one conclusion, tho In evitable one, to let the matter develop Itself. Lund's winning card lie had bothered about until his brain wiir tired. When ho turned in nt Inst, de spite his determination to follow Lund's admonition concerning sleep, It would not como to him. Ho was awakened nt half-past seven, goL-n cup of coffee nfter dressing warmly, and went on dock, Carlscn and the girl had preceded lilm. Lund stood at tho rail with his beak of a noso wrinkled, snulllng townrd tho Icy cnigd that wero spouting a dnswlo of white flame, set about with smnller, budden flares of ruby, emerald nnd sapphire. Tumnda appeared and announced breakfast. "You'll be coming Inter, Ralney!" asked Carlscn, 'Toil nnd Lund?" Ho started for tho " compnnlonwny and tlie girl followed, As she passed the wheel Ralney spoke to her: "I mil sorry your father Is so 111, Miss Slmms," ho snld. She looked at him with eyes tlmt were filled with sadness, that seemed liquid with tears bravely held back. "I nm nfrnld lie Is dying," she nn. sworcd In n low voice. "Thank you foi your sympathy. I " Slio stopped at some slight sound that Ralney did not cnli. But ho saw tho face of Cnrlscn framed In the shadow of the companion, his mouth open In n wolf grin, nnd the mini's eyes were gleaming crimson. He hold up n hnnd for tho girl. She passed down without taking It. Lund enme over to Ralney. "Clenr weather, they tell me?" h said. "That's unusual. Fog off tho Aleutians three hundred an' fifty day of the year, as a rule. Sopn as we sight land, whlch'll be Unnlaskn or thereabouts, Carlscn will have ths course changed. There's n consldern ble licet of United States revenue ait. tors at Uiialnskn, nn' Cnrlscn won't pull cnnythlng until we're well west of there. Ho's pretty cocky thl3 morn In. Wnl, we'll see." There had always been n certain rollicking good-humor about Lund. This morning he wns grim, his face, with Its beak of n noso nnd aggressive chin bcnciitli the flnmlng whiskers, and Lund Stood at the Rail With His Beak of a Nose Wrinkled. Ills whole magnificent body gavo the Impression of resolve nnd repressed action. Rfilnoy fancied whimsically thnt he could hear a dynnmo purring Inside the giant's masslveuc&s. He had seen lilm In open rage when he had first denouneod llouest Slmms, but tho serious mood was far moro Impressive. Tlie big man stepped like n great cat, his bend jvas thrust slightly for ward, his great hands were half open. Ono forgot his blindness. Despite the unsightly blnck lenses, Lund nppenred so absolutely prepared and, In a differ ent vo fully as confident ns Carlson. A certain nudnclous assurance seemed to ooze out of lilm, to pcrniouto his neighborhood, and n measure of It ex tended to Rnlney. Carlson, before ho went below, had .sent a man Into tho fore-spreaders, and now he shouted, cupping his linnds and sounding his news us If ltdind been a call to arms: "Lond-ho!" "What Is It?" called Rnlney bnck: "High peak, sir. Dead ahead I Clouds on It, or smoke."' lie came sliding down the halynrdt to the deck as Lund snld: "That'll bo Mnku&hlii. Now the fun'll commence." From below the sailors off watch camo up on deck, nnd tho hunters, tho latter wiping their mouths, fresh from their Interrupted brenkfnst, all crowd ing forward to get u gllmpso of the Innd. Minutes pasbod'beforo Cnrlscn camo on deck. He hnd not hurried his mcnl. "I'll tuke her over, Rnluey," lie snld briefly. Ralney nnd Lund were hnrcly seated before the heeling of the schooner nnd the scufllo of feet told of Lund's prophesied change of courne. Rnlney looked at the telltale compass above his head. "Heading duo west," he told Lund. "West it is," said the giant. "Moro coffee, Tarnada. Fill your belly, Ralney, Get n good meal while the cntlu' Is good." Although it was Hansen's watch be low, Ralney found him Jit the wheel Instead of the seamnn ho had left there. Careen came up to lilm smil ing. "Better let Hansen havo the deck, Mr. Rnlney," he suld. "We're golnjj to have a conference In the cabin nt. four bells, und I'd like you to bo present." "The ilioti blended, Lund stood there erect, uninjured. A red blotch showed between Carlien's eyes."
