In tho end, with loud protestations
Hint ho could Iobo llko a gentleman,
tho cook's Inst money was staked on
tho gnrao and IobI. Whoroupon lto
loanod his head on his hands nnd
woi.it. Wolf Lnrsen looked curiously
nt him, ns thotiEh about to probo and
vivisect him, then changed lUa mind,
as from tho forcgono conclusion that
thoro wbb nothing thoro to probo.
"Hump," ho said to mo, elaborately
potlto, "kindly tako Mr. Mugrldgo's
arm and help him up on dock. Ho is
not feeling very well."
"And toll Johnson to douso hlra with
a fow buckets of salt water," ho add
ed, in a lower tono for tny car alono.
I loft Mr. Mugrldgo on dock. In
tho hands of a couple of grinning sail
ors who had boon told off for tho pur
pose. Mr. Mugrldgo was sleepily splut
tering that ho was a gontlomnn's son.
But aB I descended tho companion
stalra to clear tho tablo I heard him
shrlok aa tho first bucket of water
etruck him.
Wolf Larson was counting his win
nings. "Ono hundred and clghty-flvo dollnrs
oven," ho said aloud. "Just as I
thought. Tho beggar camo aboard
without a cent"
"And what you havo won Is mlno,
Mr," I said boldly.
116 favored ino with a quizzical
smllo. "Hump, I have studied some
arnmmHr in my tlmo, and I think your
tenses aro tangled. 'Wns mine,' you
should havo said, not 'Is mlno.'"
"It is a question not of grammnr but
of othlcs," I unawored.
It was possibly a mlnuto boforo he
epoko.
"D'yo know. Humn." ho snlil. with n
Blow sorlousncss which had In it an
llndoflnablo Btraln of Badness, "thnt
this la tho first tlmo I havo hoard tho
word 'othlcs in tho mouth of a mnn.
You nnd I nro tho only men on this
ehlp who know 'Its meaning."
' "At ono tlmo in my llfo," ho con
tinued, nftor anothor pauso, "I
droamed that 1 might somo day talk
with mon who used such lnnguago.
that I might lift myself out of tho
place in llfo In which I had boon born,
and hold conversation 'and mingle
with mon who talked about Just such
things as ethics. And this is tho first
tlmo I havo ovor heard tho word pro
nounccd. Which is all by tho way.
for you aro wrong. It is n iiimnHmi
neither of grammar nor ethics, but of
lact."
I "I undorstnnd," 1 said. "Tho fact Is
that you havo tho money."
Ills faco brightened. Ho soomcd
ploaqod at my porsplcacity.
"Uut you wrong mo by withholding
;U," I objected.
I "Not at all. Ono mnn cannot wrong
anothor man. Ho can only wrong him
solf. As I seo It, I do wrong always
when I consldor tho Interests of oth
ers. Don't you seo? How can two
particles of tho yeast wrong ench
other by striving to devour each
othor? It 1b their Inborn heritage to
Btrlvo to devour, and to strlvo not to
bo dovoured. When tuoy dopart from
this thoy sin."
"Then you don't bollovo In altru
ism?" I asked.
Ho rocolvod tho word ns if It hnd
familiar ring, though ho pondorcd
It thoughtfully. "Lot mo soo, It monnB
something about cooperation, doesn't
It "Oh, yes, I rcmomber It now. 1
ran across It In Spencer."
"Spencer!" I cried. "Havo you read
blra?"
"Not very much," was his confes
sion. His 'Psychology' loft mo butting
sround in tho doldrums for muny a
Cay. Dut 1 did got something out of
his 'Data of Ethics.' There's whero 1
ran across 'altruism,' and I remember
now how It was used."
"What olso did you run across?" 1
asked.
"In as fow wordo as possible," lie
began. "Spencor puts It Bomothlng
like thlB: First, a man must act
tor hlB own bonollt to do this Is
to bo moral and good. Noxt, ho must
net for tho bonollt of htc chlldron. And
third, he must act for tho bonollt of bis
race."
"And tho highest, llnost, right con
duct." I Intorjcctoil, "Is that act which
bcnollts at the saino tlmo tho man, his
children, and his race."
"I wouldn't stand for that." Iio ro
piled. "Couldn't see the necessity for
-
it, nor tho common somso. 1 cut out
tho rnco and the children. Any Bacrl
Ilco that makes mo loso ono crawl, or
squirm Is foolish and not only fool
ish, for It Is a wrong against myself
nnd n wicked thing. I must not lose
ono crnwl or squirm If I am to get
tho most out of tho ferment. Nor will
the clernnl movplesanoss that la com
ing to me bo made easier or harder
by tho sacrlllcea or selllshncss of the
time when I was yeasty and ncrawl."
"Then you aro a man ono could not
trust In the least thing where It wna
possible for a selfish Interest to Inter
vene?" "Now you're beginning to under
Btand." ho said, brightening.
"You nro a man utterly without
what the world calls morals?"
"That's It."
"A man of whom to bo always
afraid"
"Thnt'a tho way to put It."
"As one Is afraid of a anake. or a
tiger, or n shark?"
"Now you know mo." ho said. "And
you know mo an I am generally
known. Other men call mo 'Wolf.' "
"You nro a sort of monster," I
added nudiiclotisly, "n Cnlllmn who hue
pondered Soteboa, and who nets an you
act, In Idlo moments, by whim nml
fnncy."
His brow clouded at tho allusion.
He did not understand, nnd I quickly
learned thnt ho did not know the
poem.
"I'm just rending Browning." ho
confosaed, "nnd It's pretty tough. I
haven't got very far along, nnd ns It
Is I'vo about lost my bearings."
Not to bo tiresome 1 shnll sny that
I fetched tho book from his stnteroom
nnd read "Caliban" aloud. Ho was de
lighted. It was a primitive mode of
reasoning nnd of looking nt things
thnt ho understood thoroughly. Ho In
terrupted ngaln and agnln with com
ment and criticism. Winn I finished,
ho had mo read It over a second time,
and a third. Wo foil Into discussion
philosophy, science, evolution, reli
gion. Tlmo passed. Supper was at
hnnd nnd tho tnblo not Inld. I beenmo
restless nnd nnxlous, nnd when Thom
as Mugrldgo glared down tho compan
lonway, alck and angry of counte
nance, I proparetl to go nbout my du
ties. Dut Wolf Lnrsen cried out to
him:
"Cooky, you'vo got to hustle tonight.
I'm busy with Hump, nnd you'll do
tho beat you enn without him."
And again tho unprecedented was
established. Thnt night 1 snt at tablo
with tho captain and tho huntors,
whllo Thomas Mugrldgo waited on us
"Ho Leaned HIb Head on His Hands
nnd Wept."
and washed tho dlshea afterward a
whim, a Callban-mood of Wolf Lar
son's, and ono I forosaw would bring
mo trouble. In tho moantlmo wo
talked and tnlked, much to tho dls
guat of tho huntors, who could not
understand n word.
CHAPTER VIII.
Throo days 'of rest, throo blesaed
days of rest, nro what I had with Wolf
LarBon, entlng nt tho cabin tablo nnd
doing nothing but discuss llfo, lltera
turo and tho unlvorso, tho while Thom
as Mugrldgo fumed nnd raged and did
my work as well as hlu own.
"Wnteh out for squnlls. Is all 1 enn say
to you," wns Louis' warning, given dur
ing n sparo half-hour on deck whllo
Lnrsen wns engaged in Btralghtenlng
out n row among tho huntors
I wob not altogether surprlsod when
tho squall foretold by Louis smote
mo.-j Wo hnd been having a heated
discussion upon llfo. or course nnd
grown overbold, I wns pnsslng stiff
strictures upon Wolf Larson and tho
llfo of Wolf Larson. Tho dark sun
bronzo of his faco wont black with
wrath, his oyos woro ablazo. Ho sprang
for mo with a half roar, gripping my
arm. I wilted nnd ahrlokod aloud. My
biceps woro bolng cruBhed to a pulp.
Ho scorned to rocovor himself, for a
held gleam camo Into his ovor. nnd iw
cl-xcd his hold with a short laugh
that wns more llko a growl. I foil to
the Moor, feeling very faint, while he
snt down, lighted a clgnr. and watched
mo aa n cat watches a mouse. As 1
writhed about 1 could boo In his oyos
that curiosity I ' had so often noted,
that wonder and perplexity, that ques
tioning, that ovcrlnatlng query of his
aa to what It was nil about.
I finally crnwlcd to my foot and
ascended tho companion stairs. Fair
weather was over, and there was noth
ing loft but to return to tho galley.
My left arm waB numb, ns though par
alyzcd, and dnys pnsacd boforo I could
uao It, whllo weeks went by boforo
the Inst stiffness nnd pain went out
of It. And ho hnd done nothing but
put hla hnnd upon my .nrra nnd
aqucoze. What he might havo done
I did not fully renllzo till next dny,
when ho put his head Into tho galloy,
and, aa a sign of renewed friendliness
nskeil mo how my arm was getting on.
"It might have been worse." ho
smiled.
I was peeling potntocs. He picked
one up from the pan. It was fair sized,
firm and unpccled. Ho closed his
hand upon It, squeezed, and the potato
squirted out between his lingers In
mushy streams. The pulpy remnant
ho dropped back Into the pan and
turned away, nnd I had a sharp vision
of how it might have fared with mo
had tho nionstor put his real strongtb
upon me.
But tho three days' rest brought tho
trouble I hnd foreseen. It was plainly
Thomas Mugrldgo'a Intention to make
mo pny for thoso three dnya. He
trcntcd mo vilely, cursed me contlntl
ully. and henped hla own work upon
mo. Ho even ventured to raise his
list to me, but I wna becoming nnlmai
llko myaolf. and I snarled in his faco
so terribly that It must have fright
ened him back.
A pair of beasts la rhat wo were,
panned together and showing our
teeth. Ho wns n coward, afraid to
strike me becauno I hud not quailed
siilllclently In advnnce; so ho chose
a now way to lntlmldato me. There
was only ono galley knlTo that, as u
knife, amounted to anything. Ho whet
ted It up and down all day long. Ev
ery odd moment ho could find ho had
tho knife and stono out and was whet
ting away till I could havo laughed
aloud, It was so very ludicrous.
It was also serious, for I lenrned
that ho waa capablo of using it, that
under nil his cowardice thero was a
courage of cowardlco, llko mlno, that
would Impel him to do tho very thing
his whole nnturo protested against do
ing and wns nfrnld of doing. "Cooky's
sharpening his knife for Hump." was
being whispered about among tho sail
ors, and somo of them twitted him
about It. This ho took In good part,
and wns ronlly pleased, nodding hla
hoad with direful foreknowledge nnd
mystery, until George Lcnch. tho
erstwhile cabin-boy, ventured somo
rough pleasantry on tho subject.
Now It happened thnt Lench wns
ono of tho sailors told off to douso
Mugrldgo after his gnmo of enrds with
tho captain. Lench had evidently done
his task with a thoroughnesa that Mug
rldgo had not forgiven, for words fol
lowed and evil namoa involving
amlrched nncostrlca. Mugrldgo men
aced with tho knlfo ho waa sharpening
for mo. Leach laughed and hurled
moro of his Tolograph hill billings
gato, and boforo cither ho or I know
what had happened, his right arm had
boon ripped open from elbow to wrist
by a quick slash of tho knlfo. The
cook backed away, a flondlsh expres
sion on his faco, tho knlfo hold bofore
him In a position of defense. But
Leach took It qulto calmly, though
blood was spouting upon tho dock as
gonorously as water from a fountain
"I'm goln' to got you, Cooky." he
naid, "and I'll get you hard. And I
won't bo in no hurry about it. You'll
bo without that knlfo when I como
for you."
So Baying, ho turned and walked
quietly forward. Mugrldgo'a faco was
livid with fear at what ho had done
and at what ho might expect sooner
or lator from tho man ho had stabbed.
But his demeanor toward mo was moro
ferocious than over.
Sovcral daj'B went by, tho Ghost still
foaming down tho trndes, and l could
swear I saw mndnoss growing in
Thomas Mugrldgo's oyos. And 1 con
fess that I becanto afraid, vory much
afraid. Whet, whet. It wont all dny
long. Tho look In his eyes as ho felt
tho koon edgo nnd glared at mo was
poaltlvoly carnivorous. I waa afraid
to turn my shoulder to him, and whon
I loft tho galloy 1 went out backward
to tho amusement of tho sailors and
hunters, who made a point of gather
ing In groupB to witness my exit
Sovcral tlme3 Wolf Larson trlod to
inveigle mo Into discussion, but I gave
him short answers and eluded him.
FJnnlly, ho commanded mo to resume
my scat at tho cabin tnblo- for n tlmo,
nnd lot tho cook do my work. Then I
spoke frankly, telling him what I wns
ondurlng from Thomas Mugrldgo bo
cnuso of tho throo dnys of favoritism
which hnd been shown mo. Wolf Lar
Bon regarded mo with smiling oyos.
"So you'ro" afraid, eh?" he sneered.
It was plain thnt I could look for
no help or mercy from Wolf Larson.
Whutovor wns to bo dono I must do
for myaolf; nnd out of tho courage of
fear I evolved tho plan of fighting
Thomas Mugrldgo with his own weap
ons. I borrowed a whotstono from
Johanson. Louis, tho boat atcorer,
had already bogged mo for condensed
milk and sugar. Tho lazaretto, whoro
Biich dollcacles woro stored, was situ
ated boncath tho cabin floor. Watch
ing my chance, I stolo flvo cans of tho
milk, nnd that, night, whon It was
Louis' wutch on dock. I traded them
with him for n dirk us lean and cruol
looking as Thomas Mugrldgo's vego
tablo knlfo. It wan rusty nnd dull, but
1 turned tho grindstono whllo Louis
govo it an edge, I slept moro soundly
than usual that night.
Noxt morning, after broakfcX
Thomas Mugrldgo began hla whet,
whet, whet. I glanced warily at him, for
I was on my knees taking the ashes
from tho stove. I put tho shovol
away and calmly sat down on tho coal
box facing hlra. Ho favored mo with
n vicious stare. Still calmly, though
tny heart was going pitapat, I pulled
out Louis' dirk and bognn to whet It
on tho stone. 1 had looked for nlmost
any sort of oxploslon on tho cockney's
part, but to my surprise ho did not
appear awaro of what I was doing. Ho
went on whetting his knife. So did I
And for two hours wo snt thero, faco
to faco, whot, whet, whot, till the
news of It sproad abroad and half the
ship's company was crowding tho gal
ley doors to seo tho sight.
Encouragement nnd ndvlco woro
freely tendered, nnd Jock Horner, tho
quiet, self-spoken hunter who looked
ns though ho would not hnrm a mouse,
advised me to leuvo tho ribs alono
and to thrust upward for tho abdomen,
at the same tlmo giving what ho called
the "Spanish twist" to tho blndo.
Lench, his bandaged arm prominently
to tho fore, begged mo to leavo a fow
romnnnts of the cook for him; and
Wolf Lnrsen paused once or twlco at
the break of tho poop to glance curl-

What the World Calls Morals."
ously at what must havo been to him
a stirring nnd crawling of tho yeasty
thing ho know as llfo.
But nothing happened. At tho end
of two hours Thomas Mugrldgo put
away knlfo and stone and held out
hla hand.
"Wot'a the good of mykln' a 'oly
show of ourselves for them mugs?" ho
demanded. "They don't lovo us, an'
bloody well glad they'd bo a-seoln' us
cuttln' our throats. Yor not 'arf bad,
'Urap! You'vo got spunk, as you
Yanks s'y, an' I llko yor In a w'y. So
como on nn' Bhyko."
Cownrd thnt I might be, I wns less
a -coward than ho. It was a distinct
victory I hod gained, and I refused to
forego any of It by shaking his de
testable hand.

FIND GOODNESS IN PLEASURE
People Are Beginning to Understand
That It Is a Mistake to Work
Too Hard.
For a good many years wo had a
creed that tho only way to keep men
or women good was to work thom to
death. Wo didn't consider ourselves
virtuous unless wo onded each day so
toll-wearled that wo had no ambition
for nnythlng but bed. Whon wo had
a holiday wo didn't know how to uso
It, and cither slept it away or did
something that landed us In Jail.
Tho doctors aro tolling us now that
thoro Is a fatlguo poison; that wo owo
It to oursolv6a not to overwork. Tho
groat labor unions aro domandlng
shorter hours and graded work, so that
mon and women workers shall not be
overtaxed, and so that tho few may
not bo overworked and underpaid at
tho expense of tho many.
Wo aro learning very, very gradu
ally, that man was not created to labor
18 hours out of tho 24 la ordor that
ho may havo tho prlvllego- of entlng
and sleoplng. Very, vory gradually
wo aro bolng taught that wo aro part
ners In God's pasturo, and that, rich
or poor, wo havo tho right to tako our
sharo of sunshlno and fresh air and an
idlQ tlmo to onjoy them.
A fair measure of lelsuro In each
day is necessary to cultlvato Bwcot
nesa and sancnoss of soul, and tho
man or woman, boy or girl, so over
worked that thero Is no opportunity
for recreation, never reachca tho high
er planes of bolng. Indeed, too much
work has often been us much a breed
er of crlmo as too much idloncss.
Sometimes it is a desperato effort
to oscapo fri l tho grind. Moro often
It Is an Intel. nt craving for oxclto
mont 'somet.. ng different."
1 bollovo it is in ono of Aesop's
fables whoro wo aro told of tho man
who was so busy grubbing In tho muclc
heup that ho never had tlmo to look
up ami seo tho crown abovo his head.

EXPERIMENT IN GOOD ROADS
Road to Chevy Chase "Text Book In

There is hero a text book In con
crete, brick and stono tho road to
Chevy Chase, built by tho plans and
under tho direction of the olllco of
public roadB of the United Stntcs and
for tho solo purpose of Informing tho
public and tho members of congress
Interested in the Improvement of tho
public highways upon the molhods and
cost of construction, types of roads,
adaptability of material and economy
3f maintenance.
Thousands of people travel ovor
this road, which la built In many sec
tions of different types, every day, and
hundreds of practical road bulldera
from all parts of tho cvuntry havo In
spected It from time to time and havo
Sand and Gravel Plied on Subgrado
Ready for Use, Experimental Con
crete Road, Chevy Chase, Md.
marveled at tho oxcollonco of tho
work.
Manufacturers who havo supplied
bituminous materials for tho treat
ment of tho road have detached their
special cxperta for thia servlco and
the traffic over tho road baa demon
strated under carefully observed con
ditions the relative value of tho sev
eral types of road makln? up this great
highway.
Tho Chevy Chaso road is experi
mental. It consists of different types
of pavement bituminous macadam
laid by tho ponotratlon method, sur
face treatments of watorbound ma
cadam, asphaltlc surfaces on concrete
foundations, bituminous surfaced con
crete plain and oil cement concrete
and vitrified brick, all of which aro
under dally observation by export
road builders to ascertain which of tho
types is beat suited to tho traffic and
which Is condemned by practical test
under tho samo conditions of climate,
soil, rainfall, heat and cold and llko
traffic requirements. It would be Just
tho samo to tho olllco of public roads
which has written this open book in
concrete, brick and stono whether any
part of it or all parts of it should fall,
falluro in materials used, in construc
tion, In durability, In cost, In mainte
nance tho test is tho thing.
Road building Is a sclenco now, and
efficiency is tho only tost of quality.
In tho stones used in tho construc
tion of tho Chovy Chaso road, their
specific gravity, their weight per cubic
foot, their water absorption, their per
centage of wear, their hardness and
toughncsa aro all determined by the
most enroful Bclentlilc tests. Patrol
mon aro constantly omployed on this
road to keep account of whatever de
fects in materials and construction
may dovclop and oxact data as to tho
cost of maintenance.
Tho Chevy Chaso road was fortu
nately placed for tho reason that all
of Its soctlonc of typea havo been sub
jected to precisely tho samo sort ol
traffic year in and year out and the
section or typo that has not stood the
strain has been as important an object
lesson to road builders a3 the section
or type that has maintained Itself un
der llko strain. Tho road, as a whole
la a great experiment conducted by the
most compotcnt engineers to demon
strate tho most practical things.
Good Stretches Useless.
Local control in road building means
a good patch whoro tho officials aro
up to dato, and a poor stretch whero
the locahauthorlties aro slack in their
road work and tho poor stretches of
road make tho good stretches useless.
Up-to-Datu Ronds.
