CHAPTER V Continued.
After breakfast I Imtl nnotlicr tin
onvlablo oxporlcndo. When I had fin
ished washing tho Jlshos I clonncd the
cabin stovo and carried tho nshes up
on deck to empty them. Wolf Larson
and Hondorson were standing near the
wheel, deep In conversation. I passed
thorn and Hung tho nshes ovor tho side
to windward. Tho wind drovo thoni
back, nnd not only over mo liut ovor
Hondorson nnd Wolf LarBcn. Tho
next Instant tho latter kicked mo vio
lently, na a cur Is kicked. I reeled
iiway from him nnd leaned against the
cabin In a half-falntlng condition. Out
Wolf Larson did not follow mo up.
IJrushlng tho ashes from his clothes,
ho hnd resumed his conversation with
Hondorson. Johanscn, who had seen
tho affair from tho break of tho poop.
Boot n couplo of sailors aft to clean
up tho mess.
Later In tho morning 1 received a
.Mirpriso of a totally different sort.
Following tho cooIc'b Instructions. I
had gono Into Wolf Larson's state
room to put It to rlflhts nnd make tho
bed. Against tho wall, near tho hend
of tho bunk. waq a rack filled with
books. I glnncjd ovor thorn, noting
with astonishment such names ns
Shakospcaro, Tennyson, Poo and Do
Qulncoy. Tfao woro scientific works,
too, among which woro represented
mon such Tyndall, Proctor nnd Dar
win. Astronomy and physics woro
represented, nnd I remarked Dulllnch's
"Ago of Fablo," Shaw'a "History of
English and Amorlcan LItoraturo,"
and Johnson's "Naturnl History" In
two largo volumes. Tfcon thoro woro
a nurabor of grarumaro, such as Mot
calf'a and Ilcod and Kollogg's; and 1
omllcd as I saw a copy of "Tho Dean's
English."
I could not roconollo those books
with tho man from whnt I had soon
of him, and I wondorod If ho could
pCSHlbly rend thorn. Dut whon I camo
to mako tho bod I found, botwoon tho
blankets, dropped apparently as If ho
had sunk off to sloop, a comploto
Browning, tbo Cambrldgo edition. It
wao open at "In a Dalcony," and I
noticod, haro and thoro, pnssagos un
derline In poncll. Purthor. lotting
drop tfca volumo during a lurch of the
'Bhip, a ehoot of paper foil out. It was
BcrawJed ovor with gcomotrlcal din
errauffl and calculations of somo sort.
TWb gllmpso I hnd caught of his
ot&Hr sldo must havo cmboltloned mo,
tof I resolved to speak to him about
th& money I had lost.
l hnvo boon robbed." 1 snld to him,
a. littlo later, whon I found him pacing
op-and down tho poopalono.
-"Sir," ho corroctod, not harshly, but
mternly.
I HI havo been robbed, sir," I amond
ed. "How did It happen ?" ho asked.
Then I told him tho whole circum
stance, how my clothes had boon loft
tto dry In tho galloy, and how, later, I
-web nearly beaten by tho cook whon
I mentioned tho matter.
' Ho smiled at my rocltnl. "Pickings,"
no concluded; "Cooky's pickings And
don't you think your mlsornblo life
worth tho prlco? ncsldcs, consider It
a losson. You'll lenrn In tlmo how to
tako caro of your money for yourself.
I aupposo, up to now, your lawye; has
done It for you, or your business
agent."
I could fool tho quiet snoor through
hia words, but domnnded, "How can
I et It back again?"
"That's your lookout You havon't
any lawyor or business agent now, so
you'll havo to depend on yoursolf.
Whon you get a dollar, hung on to It.
A man who leaves his mouoy lying
around, tho way you did, desorvos to
lono It. Hosldes, you havo sinned. You
havo no right to put temptations In
tho way of your follow-crenturcs. You
tempted Cooky, and bo fell. You havo
placed his Immortal soul In Jeopardy.
By tho wny, do you bollovo In tho
Immortal soul?"
His lids lifted lazily as ho asked tho
question, and It scorned that tho doops
woro opening to mo and that 1 was
gazing Into his bouI. Dut It was an
Illusion. Far as It might havo Boomed,
no man has ovor aeon very far into
Wolf Larson's soul, or seen It at all
of this 1 am convinced. It was a vory
lonely soul, 1 was to learn, that novor
unmasked, though at raro moments It
played at doing bo.
"1 rend immortality In your eyes,"
I answered, dropping tho "sir" an ox
furltnont, for 1 thought tho Intimacy
Qt the conversation warranted It.
'Ho took uo notice.
in
con.iTiianr t.QNPOr
"Then to what end?" ho demanded.
"If I am Immortal why?"
I faltered. How could 1 explain my
idealism to this man? How could 1
put Into speech a something felt, a
something like tho strains of music
heard In sleep, a something that con
vinced yet transcended utteranco?
"What do you believe, then?" I
countered.
"I believe that life Is a moss." he
answered promptly "It Is llko a yeast,
n ferment, a thing that moves and
may movo for a minute, an hour, a
year, or n hundred years, but that In
tho end will ceaso to move. Tho big
eat tho little that they may contlnuo
to move, the strong eat tho weak that
they may retain their strength. The
lucky eat tho most nnd movo the
longest, that is all. What do you make
of thoso things?"
He swept his urm in nn Impatient
gesture toward a number of the sail
ors who woro working on some kind
of ropo stuff amidships.
"They movo; so does tho Jellyfish
move. Thoy movo In order to eat in
order that they mny keop moving.
There you havo It. Thoy live for
their holly's sako, nnd tho bolly Is for
their sako. It's a clrclo; you get no
whore. Nolthor do they. In tho end
thoy como to a standstill. Thoy move
no more Thoy aro dead."
"Thoy havo dreams," I Interrupted,
"radiant, Hashing dreams "
"Of grub," ho concluded senton
tlously. "And of more "
"drub. Of n larger nppctlto and
moro luck In satisfying It." His voice
sounded harsh. Thoro was no lovlty
In It. "You and I aro Just llko them.
Thoro Is no difference, except that we
havo eaten moro nnd bettor. I am
eating thorn now, and you, too. But
In tho past you have eaten moro than
I havo. You wear tho warm clothes.
Thoy made tho clothes, but thoy shiver
In rags and ask you, tho lawyer, or
tho business agent who handles your
monoy, for a Job."
"Hut that is bc3ido tho matter," I
cried.
"Not at all." Ho was speaking rap
Idly, now, and his eyes woro flashing.
"It Is plgglshncss, and it Is life. Of
what use or sonso is an immortality
of plgglshncss? What Is tho end?
What Is It all about? To bo piggish
ns you and I hnvo boon nil our lives
does not seem to bo Just tho thing for
Immortals to bo doing. Again, what's
It all about? Why havo I kept you
hero?"
"Bocauso you aro stronger," I man
nged to blurt out
"Dut why stronger?" ho went on nt
onco with his perpetual quorles. "Bo
causo I am a bigger bit of tho formont
than you? Don't you seo? Don't you
boo?"
"But tho hopelessnoss of It," I pro
tested. "I agroo with you," ho answered.
"Then why movo nt all, slnco moving
Is living? Without moving nnd being
part of tho yeast thoro would bo no
hopelessness. But nnd hero It Is
wo want to llvo and movo, though wo
havo no reason to, becauso It happens
that It Is tho naturo of llfo to llvo and
movo, to want to llvo and movo. If It
woro not for this, llfo would bo dead
It Is becauso of this llfo that Is In you
that you dream of your Immortality.
Tho llfo that Is In you Ib allvo and
wants to go on being allvo forever.
Bah! An eternity of plgglshncss!"
Ho abruptly turned on his heel and
started forward. Ho stoppod at tho
break of tho poop and called mo to
him.
"By tho way, how much was it that
Cooky got away with?" ho asked.
"Ono hundred nnd olghty-flvo dol
lars, sir," 1 answered.
Ho nodded his hend. A moment
later, as I started down tho companion
stairs to lay tho tablo for dlnnor, 1
heard him loudly cursing somo mott
amidships.
CHAPTER VI.
By tho following morning tho storm
had blown Itsolf qulto out and tho
Ghost wna rolling slightly on a calm
sea without a breath of wind. Tho
mon woro nil on deck and busy pro
paring their various boats for tho sea
son's hunting. Thoro nro sovon boats
abonrd. tho captain's dinghy, tho six
which tho hunters will uso. Throo, a
hunter, n boat puller, and n boat
steoror, composo a boat's crow. On
board tho schoouor thai boat pullers
and stoorers nro tho crow. Tho hunt
ers, too, aro supposed to bo In com
mand of tho wntches, subjoct, alwnys,
to tho orders of Wolf Larson.
All this, and moro, I hnvo learned.
Tho Ghost Is considered tho fastest
schooner In both tho Snn Francisco
and Victoria fleets. In fnct, sho was
onco a prlvato yacht, and wns built
for speed. Johnson wns telling mo
nbdut her In a Bhort chat I had with
him during yostorday's second dog
watch. Ho spoko enthusiastically,
with tho lovo for a flno craft such as
somo mon fool for horsos.
I3vory rann abonrd, with tho excep
tion of Johanaon, who Is rathor over
como by his promotion, Booms to havo
an oxcuso for having sailed on tho
Ghost. Half of tho mon forward aro
deep-water sailors, and their excuso Ib

that they did not know anvtliliiE uhout
her or her captnln. And thoso who do
Know wiiispor that tho hunters, while
excellent shots, were so notorious for
their quarrelsome and rascally pro
clivities that they could not sign on
any decent schooner.
I hnvo mndo tho acquaintance of an
other one of tho crow Louis, ho is
called, a rotund and Jovlnl-faccd Nova
Scotia Irishman, nnd a very soclablo
follow, prone to tnlk ns long ns he can
find n listener. In tho afternoon,
while tho cook was below and asleep
and I was pedllng the everlasting po
tatoes, Louis dropped Into the galldy
for a "yarn." His oxcuso for being
nboard wns that ho wns drunk when
ho signed. Ho Is nccountcd ono of the
two or throo vory best boat steerers
In both fleets.
"Ah, my hoy" he shook his head
ominously at me "'tis tho worst
schooner yo could Iv selected, nor
woro ye drunk nt the tlmo as was I.
Don't I remember him In Hakodate
two years gono, when ho had a row
an' shot four Iv his men? An' there
wns a man tho same year ho killed
with a blow Iv his flat. An' wasn't
thoro tho governor of Kura Island, an'
tho chief lv police. Jannneso contln-
men. sir. an' didn't they como nboard
tho Ghost as his guests, a-brlngln'
their wives along weo an' prottv
little bits or things like you seo 'om
pnlntcd on fans. An as ho was n-cnt-
tin' under way. didn't tho fond hus
bands get loft astorn-IIke In their sam
pan, as It might bo by accident? An'
wasn't It a week later that tho poor
little ladles was put ashore on the
other sldo of tho island, with nothin'
hoforo 'em but to walk homo acrost
tho mountains on their woeny-teeny
littlo straw sandals, which wouldn't
hang together a mile? Don't I know?
'Tls tho beast ho Is, this Wolf Lar
son tho great, big beast mentioned in
Revelation; nn no good end will ho
ever como to. But I've said nothin to
ye. mind ye. I'vo whispered never a
word; for old, fat Louls'll llvo tho vov-
ago out If tho last mother's son of
yoz go to tho lishes. "
"But If ho Is so well known for what
ho Is," I queried, "how Is It that he
can get men to ship with him?"
"An" how is It ye can get men to
do anything on God's earth an' sea?"
LouIb demanded with Celtic flro.
"There's them that can't sail with bet
ter mon, llko tho hunters, and thorn
that don't know, like tho poor devils
of wind-jammers for'ard there."
"Them hunters Is tho wicked boys."
ho broko forth again, for ho suffered
from a constitutional plethora of
speech. "But wait till they get to
cutting up lv Jinks and rowin' 'round.
Ho's tho boy'll fix 'em. Look at that
hunter iv mine, Horner. Didn't ho kill
his boat steoror Inst year? An' there's
"They Live for Their Belly's Sake."
Smoko, tho black littlo devil didn't
tho Hooslnns havo him for threo years
In tho snlt mines of Siboria, for poach
In' on Copper island, which is a Roo
sinn presorvo? Shackled ho was,
hand nn foot, with his mato. An'
didn't thoy hnvo words or a ruction
of somo kind? for 'twns tho other
fellow Smoko sent up m tho buckots
lo tho top of tho mtno; an! a pleco at
tho tlmo ho went up, n leg today, an'
tomorrow nn arm, tho next day tho
head, an' so on."
"But you can't mean It!" I cried out.
ovorcomo with tho horror of it.
"Menu whnt?" ho demanded, quick
as n flash. "'Tls nothin I'vo said.
Dcof I am. and dumb, as yo should
ho for tho sako lv your mother; an'
novor onco hnvo I opened mo lips hut
to say flno things Iv thorn nn' him,
God curso his soul, an' may ho rot In
purgatory ton thousand years, and
then go down to tho last nn' doopest
hell lv nil I"
Johnson seemed tho least equivocal
of tho mon forward or aft. Ho scorned
to havo tho courage of his convic
tions, tho certainty of his manhood. It
was this that mndo him protost, at tho
commoncoraont of our acqunlutanco,
against bolng called Youson. And
upon this, nnd him. Louis passed Jud&
mcnt nnd prophecy.
" 'Tls a lino chap, that squarehead
Johnson wo'vo for'ard with us," ho
snld. "Tho best sallorman in tho
fo'c'slo. Ho's my boat puller. But
It's to troublo ho'll como with Wolf
Larson, as tho sparks fly upward. Tho
Wolf Is strong, and It'a tho way ot
n wolf to hnto strength, an strength
It Is ho'll seo In Johnson no knucklln
under, and a 'Yes, sir' thnnk yo kindly,
sir,' for a curso or a blow."
Thomas Mugrldgo Is becoming unen
durnblo. I nm compelled to Mister
him nnd Sir him with every speech.
Ono reason for this Is that Wolf Lar
son seems to hnvo taken a fancy to
him. It Is an unprecedented thing. I
tnko It. for a captnln to bo chummy
with tho cook; but this Is certainly
whnt Wolr Larsen Is doing. Two or
three times ho put his head Into tho
galley and chaffed Mugrldgo good
naturedly, and onco. this nftcrnoon. ho
stood by tho break of tho poop and
chatted with him for fully fifteen min
utes. When It was over, and Mug
rldgo wns back In tho galloy, ho bo
camo greasily radiant, and went about
his work, humming tho costor songs
In a nervo-racking nnd discordant fal
setto. "I always get along with tho offi
cers." ho remarked to mo In a confi
dential tono. "I know tho w'y, I do.
to myko myself upprecl-yted. There
was my last skipper. 'Mugrldgo.' sez
'o to mo. 'Mugrldgo.' sez 'o, 'you'vo
missed ycr vokytlon,' 'An 'ow's that?
sez I. 'Yes should 'a' been born a
gentleman, an' nover 'ad to work for
yer llvin'.' God strlko mo dead. 'Ump,
If that ayn't wot 'o sez, an' mo a-sittln'
there in 'Is own cabin, Jolly-llko an'
comfortable, a-smokln' 'Is cigars an'
drinkin' 'Is rum."
This chlttor-chntter drovo mo to dis
traction. I never heard a voice I hated
so. Positively, ho was tho most dis
gusting and loathsome porson 1 havo
ever met. Tho filth of his cooking was
Indescribable, and, as ho cooked every
thing that was eaten aboard, 1 was
compelled to select what l ato with
great circumspection, choosing from
tho least dirty of his concoctions.
My hands bothered mo a great
deal, unused aB they wero to work.
Nor was my kneo any bettor. Tho
swelling had not gono down, nnd the
cap was still up on edgo. Hobbling
about on it from morning to night was
not helping It any. What I needed
was rest, If it wero ever to get well.
Rest! I nover beforo know tho
meaning of tho word. 1 had been rest
ing all my life and did not know It
But now, from half past flvo In tho
momhig till ten o'clock at night, I
am everybody's slave, with not one
moment to myself, oxcopt such aB I
can steal near tho end of tho second
dog watch. Lot mo pauso for a min
ute to look out over the sea sparkling
in tho sun, or to gazo at a sailor going
nloft o tho gaff-topsalls, or running
out tho bowsprit, and 1 am euro to
hear tho hateful voice, " 'Ero, you,
'Ump. no Bodgorin". I'vo got my peop-
era on yer.
There are signs ot rampant bad tem
per in tho steerago, and tho gossip is
going around that Smoko and Hender
son havo had a fight Henderson
seems tho best of tho hunters, a slow
going fellow, nnd hard to rouso; but
roused ho must havo been, for Smoko
had a bruised and discolored eye,
and looked particularly vicious when
ho camo into the cabin for supper.

MAY RECLAIM WASTE SPOT
Efforts Are to Be Made to Restore to
Fertility the Famous Roman
Campagna.
No book on Italy is comploto with
out somo roferonco to tho Campagna
dl Roma, a district upon which a curso
seems to havo fallen. It Is a graBsy
plain, something llko an American
prairie, about forty by sovonty miles
In area, Romo being near its center.
This district was onco tho prov
ince of Lntlum, and wa3 then tho rich
est nnd most populous country In tho
world, but It is now nearly destitute
of Inhabitants. For a part of tho
year shephords and herdsmon mako
it their homo, but oven thoy do not
linger longer than absolutely necov
sary. In fact, tho Campagna Is tho
homo of malaria, bo deadly that stran
gers dnro not to pass a slnglo night ex
posed to its intluenco.
Tho troublo with tho Campagna
arises from its being underlaid by a
bed of stono impervious to water. Tho
spring rains fill tho soil, a vast quan
tity of vegotablo matter is accumu
lated, and tho summer sun evaporates
this foul water, lining tho air with
malaria of tho most deadly sort
Tho ancient Romans know tho dan
gor, and nvertcd It with extensive
drains; but tho moderns suffered tho
drains to become choked, and tho
finest portion of Italy bocamo a wil
derness. Tho soil Is very rich, and
it Ib pleasant to hear that an effort Is
bolng mndo to reclaim tho Champagna
fpr tho uses ot man.
Novel Atomizer Size of Watch.
A recent novelty Is a pocket atom
izer in tho shapo of a watch. Tho
head or top haB a small orlfico, and
tho spray Is produced by pressing on
tho llcxlblo metal sides. A miniature
funnol Is provided for tho filling, which
Is dono by unscrowlng tho head. An
other atomizoi; consists ot a small
cylindrical pump mopnted on a cork
so as to fit into any bottlo and thus
avoid handling of tho porfumo from
ono bottlo to another. A plungor at
tho top sorves to produce tho spray
from a sldo orifice. Tho tubo which
descends into tho liquid has a socond
or telescoping ond bo that tho tubo
can bo extended down ns far as tho
bottom of tho bottlo and thus tnko
up all tho liquid.
A Good Soldier
of Jesus Christ
By REV. HOWARD W. POPE
Instructor In Evangelism. Moody
Dible Institute of Chicago
TEXT-II Tim. 2:3.
I. A Good Soldier Will Enlist. Ho
known that ho can servo hlo causo bet
tor In tho regulat
army than by
fighting nlono.
Guerrilla warfare
as n rulo Is inef
fective dcmoral
lzing, and dis
reputable. It dam
ages tho vory
causo it tries to
holp. Even so,
a good soldier of
Jc3us Christ will
tako his placo in
tho church. Thoro
ho can work most
effectively; thoro
ho will havo tho
holn of othnr
Christians; but, above all, thero dwolls
his lord and master, whoso constant
prayer Is, "Father, I will that thoy also
whom thou hast given mo ho with nm
whero I am, that thoy may behold my
glory."
Nor does tho good soldier ston to
Inquiro whether all tho members aro
congonlal or faithful. If ovorv mem-
ber but himself wero unfaithful, It
would still bo his duty and privilege
to join the church bocauso Christ Is
there.
Should a soldier refuse to nut on
tho uniform his sincerity would bo
questioned. Tho follower of Jesua
Christ who refuses to join tho church
is Justly liable to tho samo suspicion.
Moreover, he damages tho vory causo
which ho desires to holn. for an out-
aider who ought to bo in tho church
brings as much reproach UDon tho
causo as an inalder who ought to bo
out
II. A Good Soldier Will Not Entan-
gle Himself With Outside Matters.
What would you think of a soldier who
should report for duty brlnclnc with
him a dog and a fishing rod and a bi
cycle? Ho would doubtless bo told
that whllo these things wero well
enough in their placo, ho was expected
to fight and not to amuso himself.
It Is said that a Boldler who enlisted
in tho Civil war took along his kit of
watchmaker's tool and whllo thev
were in camp ho did considerable busi
ness. But ono day when tho order
camo to strlko tents and prepare for
battle, ho looked around his tent in
dismay and exclaimed. "Why, I can't
possibly go, for I havo twelve watches
to repair which I havo promised by
Saturday night."
That man had forgotten what ho en
listed for. In llko manner thero aro
Christians who entanglo themselves
with worldly companions and question
able amusements to such an extent as
to greatly hindor their usefulness and
Influence.
III. A Good Soldier Obevs Orders.
Ho simply goes whero ho is sent and
does what ho is told to do. Seldom
does he know tho full Intent of oven
hia own movements. Llko tho brave
band which Tennyson has made Im
mortal:
Theirs not to make reply,
Theirs not to reason why,
Theirs hut to do and die,
i Gallant six hundred.
So tho good soldier of Jesua Christ
will obey ordera. Enll8traent means
entiro surrender, and henceforth tho
great question of llfo is. "Lord, what
wilt thou havo mo to do?" Nor will ho
arguo tho question of duty, but Invari
ably glvo his master tho benefit of tho
aoubt It is to bo feared that somo
disciples havo not reached this point
IV. A Good Soldier Will Endure
Hardship. Ho expects It. Sleonlcss
nights and weary days, forced marches
and scanty fare, probable sickness and
posslblo death theso aro what ho
looks forward to; but If theso aro tho
prlco of liberty ho is willing to pay it
When Gnribaldl was going out to bat
tlo ho told his troops what ho wanted
thorn to do. Thoy said:
General, what aro you going to give
us for all this?"
"I don't know what olso vou will
got; but you aro sure to net huneer
nnd cold and wounds and doath. How
do you llko It?"
His men stood for a moment In bI-
lonco thon thoy cried. "Wo nro tho
men, wo aro tho men." That is tho
spirit of tho truo soldier, and how
common it is, thank God!
"When tho first Nanoleon was In his
glory, ho had what ho called his Old
Guard, a body of tried veterans, nicked
mon from tho whole army. Ho always
held thorn In rcsorvo; but when dan
