Loitering on the San Francisco water front, John Hal ney, newspaper reporter, 1b accost ed by a plant blind man, who 8 Itnlney to lead him aboard tho sealing schooner Karluk. In the cabin they find Captain Slmms and man named Carlsen. Slmms rec oprnlzes the blind man, calling him Jim Lund, kund accuses Slmms of abandoning: him, bllr.d, on an Ice Hoe, and denounces him. Slmms denies the charge, hut Lund re fuses to bti pacified, lie declares IiIb Intention of accompanying the Karluk on Its expedition north, where It Is colng In quest of a gold field which Lund h.as discovered, t'eggy.

Carlsen informs him he has been kidnaped. JIo offers Rs.iney a Bharo of the gold, and Ilalncy Is forced to declare himself satisfied. Lund gives him a brief account of a former expedition of the Karluk, tolls him he distrusts Carlsen, and suggest) a "partnership," Itainey to act as Lund's "uyes." Kidney Is made second mate. Captain Slmms Is HI and the navigation is entirely in tho hands of Carlsen. At the latter's suggestion n shoot ing match Ih staged and the seal hunters o-.lmust their ammuni tion.

Tamada, tho mysterious Japanese cook, de clares himself neutral. Lund, his sight restored, kills Carlsen. Cap tain Slmms dies. I CHAPTER VIII Continued. "I guess he was 'Honest Slmms, ' after all," said Lund at Inst. "The Kill blames me for the morphine, but Carlsen never meant him to live. She'll ice that after a bit, mebbe." Itnlncy glanced at him curiously. He was Betting fresh lights on Lund. Then the girl appeared, pale, com posed, coming straight up to Lund, who halted his stride at sight of her. "Will you change the course, Mr. Ltrnd?" she said. "Father spoke onco flora. After you left. He does not want to go on to Unalaska. He said It would mean u rush for the gold; perhaps you would have to stay there. He does not want you to lose the gold. He wants mo to have my share. He made me promise. And he wants ho wants" she bit her lip urcely In repression of her feelings "to be burled at sea. That was hi? last re quest." She turned and looked over tho rail, struggling to wink back her tears. Halney saw the giant's glance swnep over her, full of admiration. "As you wish, Miss Peggy," he ynld. "Hansen, 'bout ship. Hold on' a jnln nlt. How about you, Miss Peggy? If you want to go home, we can find ways nt Unalaska. I play fair. I'll bring back yore share ln full." "I am not thinking about the gold," the girl said scornfully. "But I want to carry out my father's last wishes, If you will permit mo. I shall stay with the ship. Now I nm going back to him. You you" she quelled the tremble of her mouth, nnd her chin showed firm and determined "you can arrange for tho funeral tomorrow nt du'u, If you will. I want him to night." Her face quivered pltcously. hut she conquered even that and walked to the compunlonwny. "Game, by Heaven, game as they make 'cm!" said Lund. CHAPTER IX. Demlnq Breaks an Arm. Ilalncy, dozing In his bunk, going over tho sudden happenings of the day, had placed Carlson's automatic under his pillow after loading It. He found that It lacked four shells of full capacity, tho two that Lund had flrd t his bottle target, the one tired by Carlsen at Italnoy, and the last Inef fective shot at Lund, a shot that went .stray, Halney decided, largely through Lund's coup-de-theatre of tearing off his glasses mid Hinging them at the doct.. Tho dynnmo that ho hnd Idly fancied ho could henr purring away Inside of Lund was apparent with ven geances uow, driving with full force. Lund had brains, cunning, brute force that commanded n respect not oil bred of being weaker. In n way he was magnificent. And Halney vague ly heralded trouble when Captain Slmms wns nt last given to tho deep. He felt certnln .hat tho hunters under Doming were hutching something but, la tit main, his mental prophecy of trouble coming was connected with the girl. On the border of dreams he was brought back by a strange noise on deck, n rush of feet, many voices, and topping them all, the bellow of Lund, roaring, not for help, but In challenge. Itnlncy, half asleep,- Jumped from his bunk and rushed out of the room. He had no doubt as to what hnd hap pened; the hunters had attacked Lund I And, unused to the possession of firearms, still drowsy, he forgot the nutomntlc, Intent upon rallying to the cry of the glnnt. As he mndc for the compnnlonwny, the girl came out of her father's room. "Whot Is It?" she cried. "Lund hunters 1" Ilalncy called back ns he sped up the stairs. He thought he heard u "wait" from her, but tho stamping and yelling were loud In his ears, and he plunged out on deck. As he emerged he saw the stolid l'nce of Hansen at the wheel, his pale blue eyes glancing at the set of his canvas nnd then taking on a glint that turned nmldshlps. Lund looked like n bear surrounded by the dog-pack. He stood upright while tho six hunters tore nnd smashed at him. Lund's arms swung like clubs, his great hands plucked at their holds, while he roared volleys of deep-sea, defiant oaths, slinking or striking off a man now and then, who charged back snarllngly to the attack. Brief though the light had been when Ualney arrived, there was ample evidence of It. Clothes were torn nnd faces bloody, and ulready the men were panting as Lund dragged them here and there, flailing, striking, half smothered, but always coming up from under, like u rock that emerges from the bursting of a heavy wave. A hunter lunged out heavily and confidently to 'meet him as the others got Lund to his knees for a fateful moment, piling on top of him, blud geoning blows with guttural cries of fancied victory. Ralney's man struck, and the strength of his arm, bncked by his hurling weight, broke down Ralney's guard and left the arm numb. The next instant they were at close quarters, swinging madly, rife with the one de sire to down the other, to malm, to kill. A blow crashed home on Ralney's cheek, sending him back dazed, strik ing madly, clinching to stop the pls-ton-llke smashes of the hunter clutch ing him, trying to trip him, hammer ing nt the fierce face above him ns they both went down nnd rolled Into the scuppers, tearing nt each other. He felt the man's hands nt his tliront, gradually squeezing out sense and breath nnd strength, and threw up his knee with nil his force. It struck the hunter fairly In tho groin, and ho heard the man groan ith the sudden ngony. But he himself was nearly out. The man seemed to fade away for a second, the choking fingers relaxed, and Itnlney gulped for air. His eyes seemed strained from bulg ing from their sockets In that fierce grip, and there was a fog before them through which he could hear the roar of Lund, sounding like a siren blast that told ho was still fighting, still con fident. Itnlncy saw his face, one red mask of blood nnd hnlr, with his ngnte eyes flaring up with the glory of the fight. Ho roared no longer, saving his breath. One of tho men tnckllng hlG legs dropped senseless from the buffet he got on the side of his skull, nnd Lund's kick sent him scudding ncross the deck, limp, out of the fight that could not last mu't'h longer. All this camo as Halney, still dazed, helped himself by the skylight toward tho companion, going ns fast as he could to get his gun. If he did not hurry ho was certain they would kill Llind. No man could withstand those odds much longer. Lund killed, It would bo his turn next, nnd the girl would be left nt their mercy. The thought spurred him, clearing his throbbing head, Jarred by the smashes of hlj.itlll sense less opponent who would bo coming to before long. Then ho saw the girl, standing by the rail, not crouching, ns he had somehow expected her to be. shutting out tho sight of tho light with trembling hands, but with her face aglow, her eyes shining, watching, as a Roman mnld might havo watched a gladiatorial combat; thrilled with the spectacle, hands gripping the rail, leaning a lit tle forward. She had no eyes for Rnlney, her soul was up In arms, backing Lund. Tho shlno In her eyes was for the strength of his prlmo manhood, matched against tho rest, not ns a person, an Individual, but us an embodiment of tho conquering male. Ho got the gun, and ho snatched a drink of brandy that ran through his veins like quick tiro, revivifying him so that ho ran up the ladder and cam on deck ready to tbke a decisive hand. But ho found It no easy matter to risk a shot In that swirling mats. They nil seemed to be arm weary. Blows no longer rose and fell. Lund wns slowly dragging the (lend weight of them nil toward the mast. The two men on the deck still lay there. Hniney's opponent was trying to get up. wiping clumsily at the blood on his face, blinded. A tnnn broke loose from the scrimmage, on the opposite side from Halney, who barely recog nized the disheveled figure with the bloody, battered fnce as Doming. The hunter had managed to get hold of Lund's gun. Ralney's nlm wns screened by a sudden lunge of the huddle of men. He snw Lund heave, saw his red face bob up, mouth open, roaring onco more, saw his leg come up In n tremendous kick that caught Dealing's outlcvcllng arm close to the elbow, saw the glea.ni of the gun as It strenked up and overboard, and Doming stag gering back, clutching nt his broken limb, cursing with the pain, to bring up against the rail and shout to the seamen : "Get Into It, you d d cowards I Get into It, and settle him I" Even In that Instant the sarcasm of the cry of "cowards" struck home to Rnlney. The next second the girl had Jumped by him, a glint of motal In her hand as she brought It out of her blouse. This time she saw htm. "Come on !" she cried. And darted between the fighters and tho storming figure of Doming, who tried to grasp her with his one good arm, but failed. Halney sped after her Just as Lund reached the mast. The glr had a nlckled pistol ln her hnnd and wns threatening the sullen line of Irreso lute seamen. Itnlney with his gun wns not needed. He henrd Lund shout out In n triumphant cry nnd saw him battering nt the heads of three who still clung to him. All through tho fight Lund had kept his head, struggling to the purpose ho hnd finally achieved, to reach the mast-rack of belaying pins, seize one of the hardwood clubs and, with this weapon, beat his assailants to the deck. He stood against the mast, his clothes almost stripped from him, the white of his flesh glenmlng through the tnttors, streaked with blood. Save for his eyes, his face was no longer human, only a mass of flayed flesh and clotted benrd. But his eyes were alight with battle and then, ns Rnlney gnzed, they chnnged. Something of surprise, then- of delight, leaped Into them, followed by a burning flare that was matched In those of the girl who, with Halney herding back the sea men, had turned at Lund's yeJl of vic tory. The girl wheeled nnd fled, dodging behind Tnmnda, who gnve way to let her puss, his ivory features showing Then He Saw the Qlrl Standing by the Rail. no emotion, closing up the fore com pnnlonwny ns Peggy Slmms dived be low. Lund did not follow her. Instead, he laughed shortly and appeared to see Halney for the first time. "Jumped me, tho bunch of 'em 1" he said, his chest heaving, his breath coming ln spurts from his laboring lungs. "Couldn't use my gun. But I licked 'em. D n 'em 1 Equals? II 1 1" He seemed to have a clear recol lection of the fight. Ha smiled grim ly nt Doming, who glared nt him, nursing his broken nrm, then glanced nt tho mnn that Halney had mastered. "Did him up, eh? Good for you, matey I You didn't have to use your gun. Jest us well, you might have plugged me. An' tho gal had one, after nil." Ho seemed to ruminnto on this thought ns If It gnve him special cause for reflection. He surveyed the ruefuC" groaning combntants with the smile of n con queror, then turned to tho seamen. "Here, youl" ho roared, and they Jumped as If gnlvnnlzed Jnto life by tho shout. "Chuck n bucket of water over 'em! Chuck water till they git below. Then elenn the decks. Off- wntch, you're out of this. Below with you, where you belong. Jump I "They all fought fair," ho went on. "Not a knlfo out. Only Demlng there, when ho' know he was licked, tried to git my gun. Yo'ro yeller, Demlng," he said, with contempt that was as If he had spat ln tho hunter's face. "I thought you were a better man thnn the rest. But you'vo cot yores. Git down below nn' we'll fix yoO up." Lund passed his hand over his fs.ee. "I'm some mess myself," he said, stretching his great anus. "Give me a five-finger drink, Hiilncy, afore I clean up. Some scrap. And the gall Did you see the gal, Rnlney?" Out of the bloody musk of his faco his agate eyes twinkled nt Rnlney with a sort of good-iinlured mnllce. "After this cheery little fracas." said Lund, mopping nt his face, "we'll mebbe have a nice quiet, genteel sort of ship. My gun went overboard, didn't It? Better let me have Hint one you've got, Halney." He stretched out his hnnd for It. Halney delivered It, reluctnntly. There was nothing else to do, but ho felt more than ever that the Karluk was henceforth to bo a one-man ship, run nt the will of Lund, , But the girl, too, had n weapon. He hugged that thought. She carried it for her own protection, nnd she would not hesltnte to use U. What n girl she was I What a woman, rathe.' f Halney thought of her ns one does of a pool thnt one plumbs with a stone, thinking to find It fairly shallow, only to discover It a gulf with unknown depth nnd currents, capable of smiling placldncss or sudden storm. CHAPTER X. , The Rifle Carlridnes. The girl did not appear for the eve ning meal. She had refused Tamuda's suggestions through the door. Lund drank heavily, but without any effect, save to sink him in comparative si lence, as he and Rnlney sat together, after the Japanese had cleared the table. "We've got to git hold of those cartridges," Lund snld, after n long pause. "Carlson had 'cm p'anted somewhere, an' It's likely In his room. Best thing to do Is to chuck 'em over board. Cheaper to dump the cart ridges an' shells than the rifles, an' shotguns." "Where Is the magazine?" njked Rniney. "In the little room aft o' the ga.'ley. We'll look there first. Come on." The strong room of the Karluk was n narrow compartment, heavily jar tltloned off from the galley hnd tho corridor. There was a Inmp tlure. nnd Rnlney lit It while Lund closed the door behind them. The maga jlne was quite empty. "Thorough mnn, Carlson," eald Lund. "Prepared for a show-dowa, If necessary. Might hnve put 'em i. the safe. Wonder If he chnnged tho com bination? I bet Slmms didn't, nr In nn' out. We'll tackle Carlson's room next. I don't suppose you look-.sd be tween the bunk mnttresses, did you?" "I never thought of It," said F;aluey. "I didn't Imagine there would be more than one." 'TvQ.got n hunch you'll find twoon Carlseh's bunk. An the slralls be tween 'em. ne kep' his doo locked when he was out of the mafci cabin an' t-Iep' on 'em nights. That's what I'd be apt to do." As they came Into the mttn cabin Halney caught Lund by the urm. "I'm almost sure I saw Cnrlsen's door closing," he whispered. "It might have been the shaddw." "But it might not. Shouldn't won der one of 'em's sneaked In. Saw the cabin empty, an' flggered we'd turned ln. While we was ln the Strong-room." He took the automatic from his pocket and went straight to the door of Carlsen's roomv It wao locked or bolted from within. "The fool!" said Lund. "I've g'.- a good mind to let him stuy there till he swallers some o tle drugs to fill his belly." He rappqd on the panel with the butt of the gun. "Come on out before I stnrt trouble." There wus no answer. Lund looked ungertnlnly at Ralney. "I hate to start a rumpus ng'ln," he said, Jerking his head toward the skip per's room. "'Count of her. Reckon he can stay there till after we've burled SJrams. He's safe enough" "She's a woman," said Lund. "And you're a d d orijr." (TO BE CONTINUED.) Old A0e. To those who have no recourse ln themselves for living well, every ago Is burdensome. We must fight against disease. Regurd must be paid to health. Moderate exercise must bo adopted. So much of meat and drink must be taken. Senile, folly, which Is commonly called dotage, belongs to weak old men, but not to all. For, as I like young men In which there is something of tho old, so I like old men In whom there Is something of tho young. One who alwnys lives In these pursuits and labors for the welfare of tho state does not perceive when old age steals upon him. Cicero. ' That Sunday School Class! Wishing to become acquainted with the methods of her predecessor, a young woman who taught a Sunday school class for the flr.-t time askeij tho group of bright-faced six-year-olds what tho lesson had been tho previous Sunduy. Silence prevailed for a mo ment. Then a snub-nosed urchin waved has hand frantically and when granted permission to speak, answered : "It wns about burning the bugs ln tha church." Conversation with tho former teacher afterwards revealed thnt the lesson had been "Burning Incense in the Temple." Lines to Bo Remembered. What Is defeat?
