spectfully In tho center of tho cabin,
swuylng heavily and uneasily to tho
roll of tho schooner and facing tho
captain.
"Shut the doors and draw the slldo,"
Wolf Larson said to tno.
Ab I obeyed 1 noticed an anxious
light como Into Johnson's oyos, but I
did not dream of Its cnuso. Tho mate.
Johanson, stood away several feet to
the sldo of him, and fully three yards
In front of him sat Wolf Larson on ono
of tho pivotal cabin chairs. An appre
ciable pause fell, a pauso that must
havo lasted fully a mlnuto. It was
broken by Wolf Lnrson.
"Yonson," ho began.

"Well, Johnson, thon, damn you!
Can you guess why 1 havo sont for

"Yes, and no, sir." wan tho slow re

So there cannot bo any complaint "
"Johnson," Wolf Larson said, "1 un

with those oilskins?"
"No, I am not. They nro no good,
sir."
"And you'vo boon shooting off your
mouth nbout thorn."
"I sny whnt I think, sir," the sailor
answered courageously.
It was at this moment that I chanced
to glanco at Johanson. Ills big fists
wcro clenching and unclenching, nnd
his face was positively llondtsh so
malignantly did ho look at Johnson.
"Do you know what happens to men

"Whnt you nnd tho mnto thcro nro

an effort to recover his balauco.

of tho horrible acono that followed.
It waa too revolting. It turns mo alck
oven now whon I thlnl: of It. Johnson
fought brnvoly onough. but ho wna no

Wolf Larson and tho mato. It was
frightful. 1 folt that I should loso my
mind, and I rnu up tho companion
stairs to opon tho doors nnd cscnpo on

victim for tho momunt. and with one
of his trcmcndouB springs, gntnod my

It Boomed eonturles possibly it was
no moro than ten minutes that the
beating continued. Wolf Larson and
Johanson were nil about tho poor fel
low. And when ho could no longer
rise they still continued to bent and
kick him where he lay.
"lJasy, Johanson; easy as sho goes."
Wolf Larson finally said.
"Jerk open tho doors, Hump," I was
commanded.
1 obeyed, and tho two brutes picked
up tho senseless man like a sack of,
rubbish and hove him clear up the
companion stairs through tho narrow
doorway, and out on deck. Tho blood
from his noso gushed In a scarlet
stream ovor tho feet of tho holms

his boat mate. But Louis took and
gave a spoko and gazed Impurturb
ably Into tho hlnunclo.
Not so was tho conduct of Gcorgo
Leach, the erstwhile cabin-hoy. Fore
nnd nft thcro wns nothing that could
have surprised us moro than bis con
sequent behavior. Ilo It was that
camo up on tho poop without onlcr3
and dragged Johnson forward, whero
ho sot about dressing his wounds as
well as he could and making him com
fortable. Wolf Larsen was smoking n cigar
and examining the patent log which
tho Ghost usually towed astern, but
which had been hauled In for somo
purpose Suddenly Leach's voice camo
to my ears. It was tenso and hoarse
with an overmastering rago. 1 turned
and saw htm standing Just beneath
tho break of tho poop on tho port
sldo of tho galley. His faco was con
vulsed and whlto, his eyes were (lash
lug, his clenched lists raised, over
head.
"May God dumn your soul to hell.
Wolf Lnrson, only boll's too good for
you, you coward, you murderer, you
pig!" was his opening salutation.
I was thunderstruck. 1 looked for
his instant annihilation, nut it was
not Wolf Laracn'a whim to annihilate
him. Ho sauntered slowly forward to
tho break of tho poop, and, leaning
his elbow on tho corner of the cabin,
gazed down thoughtfully and curious
ly at tho oxclted boy..
And tho boy Indicted Wolf Larson
as ho had nover been Indicted before.
Each moment 1 looked, and everybody
looked, for him to leap upon tho boy
and destroy him. Ilut It wns not his
whim. His cigar wont out, and he
continued to ga'zo silently nnd curi
ously. Leach had worked himself into an
ocstnsy of Impotent rngo.
"Pig! Pig! Pig!" ho wns reiterat
ing at tho top of hla lungs. "Why
don't you como down and kill mo, you
murdorcr? Como on, you coward!
Kill mo! Kill mo! Kill mo!"
It wns at thla stago that Thomas
Mugrldgo's erratic soul brought him
Into the sccno. Ho tumod to Leach
saying:
"Such langwldgo! Shockln'!"
Leach's rage was no longer Impo
tent, Horo at last was something
ready to hand. And for tho first time
slnco tho stabbing tho cockney had
appeared outsldo tho galley without
his knifo. Tho words had barely loft
his mouth whon ho was knocked down
by Leaeh. Threo times he struggled
to his feet, striving to gain tho galley,
and each tlmo was knocked down.
"Oh. Lord!" ho cried. '"Kip! 'Kip!
Tyke Mm nw'y, earn't yer? Tyke 'tnt
aw'y!"
Tho huntorB laughed from sheer re
lief. Tragedy had dwindled, the farce
hnd begun. Tho sailors now crowded
boldly aft. grinning and shullllng, to
watch tho putnnieling of the haled
cockney. And oven I folt n great ov

and kicked as ho lay helpluss on the
deck. And no one Interfered
Hut the3o two affairs wore only tho
opening ovents of tho day's program.
In tho afternoon Smoke und lleudoi
son fell foul of each other, and a fu
slllado of shots camo tip from tho
stoorago, followed by a stampede of.
tho other four hunters for tho dock.
A column of thick, acrid smoko tho
kind always mado by black powder
was arising through tho open compan

and though Johanscn was whipped, he
kept tho atcorago awako for the rest

CAT CAUSED MUCH TROUBLE
Family Pet Has Been Formally Cau
tioned that "The Cave" Is Not
Public Property.
Out In Woodruff placo a number of
small boys havo banded together nnd
dono what most boys havo dono If
thoy wcro real-for-auro boys built a
cave, says tho Indianapolis News. Ap
proaching this cave is n long under
ground tunnel nbout two feot squnro.
Whnt there is In this tunnel in tho
way of sldo chamners and tho like, tho
fathers and mothers nover will know,
but at the inside end of tho tunnel is
tho den, about five feet squnro, built
In a sldo hill i.nd ns dark as the most
cavernous depths of a Wyandotto
cavo.
Ono of tho youngsters belonging to
tho band of cavo dwellers hurried
homo from school tho othor afternoon,
donned his cavo outfit, and mado for
tho tunnel. Crawling In fiat on tho
ground, ho mndo his way toward tho
don. Arriving then, ho heard a scram
bling nolso Just nhead and two liery
spots loomed up In tho darkness. His
teeth chattered with irlght. Ilo
couldn't back away, ho was too fright
ened to go forwnrd, and there waa
no chnnco of escnpo at cither sldo.
Tho fiery sputa becamo active and tho
boy becamo panicky.
Just what happonod in there tho
outside w rid will never know, but
when the at It was .ho family cat
camo out of tho tunnol it was going
some. No cat ovor moved fast jr. and
I. didn't stop until It had reach-id ti
barn tluoo lots away.
And tho boy when ho emerged nls
face was ns whlto us tho arctic snow
and ho was moving rapidly for Mio
o.on. Tho noxt afternoon tho boy
painted a. sign on which wcro tho
vi.rds. "Tho Cuvo" in whlto paint, on
a blazing yellow taek ground. Gazing
proudly at the slfiiflio explained.
"Now, tr that fool cat can read, he'll

. Hang Pictures nt Once.
People who stand their family por
traits against tho walls whllo packing
and unpacking their household goods,
cause a great deal of broken glass,
scratches and dontB. Tho first thing
to bo dono when moving Into your
now home, should bo to hang tho pic
tures any place, in order to got them
out of thu way, without waiting to
choose n scheme of urrangemcnt. Thla
will prevent a great deal of breakago
and other damage.
Help Wanted.
"Can I do anything for you?'' asked
tho passing motorist of an exasper
ated man who was trying to change a
tiro whllo his wlfo, a woman of com
mnndlng appearance, stood by and
gave numerous directions "Yes, In
deed," replied tho oxasporated man,
na ho mopped his brow. "My wlfo

you would talk to her about tho cause

Tho road builders of today nro neg

Tho motor car Is a new thing In the
world nnd crentcs entirely now con

Tho travel of tho futuro -will be
very great.
Tho fashion should bo sot at onco
for n 100-foot right of way on nil main
roads.
Ono hnlf should bo developed first;
tho other could bo used by tho former
owners under n freo lenso from the
counties until it Is needed. It will
surely bo needed some day.

on tho remaining 40 feet. Tho model
to bo worked to is two 40-foot road
ways, two ten-foot sidewalks and threo
rows of shado trees a most proper
plan for a hot climate.
AH travel of course takes tho right
hand road. Tho grado should allow
crossing from ono road to tho other.
On a slnglo road with a GO-foot right
of way, two ten-foot sidewalks and 30
feet for vehicles, when autos nro
standing at each curb thero la not
room for safe passing of vehicles go
ing In opposite directions and this
difficulty and danger increases with
the traffic.
A single-track road should bo GO
feet wide.
Tho middle line of new roads Is gen
erally on n section lino or other lino
between two owners. If tho fashion ia
set for a 100-foot right of way owners
will glvo tho CO feot.
If county commissioners will Insist
on tho 100 feet and mako it a state
wldG rulo supported by public opinion,
owners will fall into lino and give the
land.
Tho double-road plan allows speed
with safety and tho speed of motor
cars will In tho futuro bo Increased
on long runs.
The point Is that It Is tho duty of
tho pioneer road builders of today to
provide for tho travel of tho future.
Fifteen years ago In Chicago a
street a milo long between Grant nnd
Lincoln parks wns widened from CO
to 200 foot. It cost $10,000,000.
If the people who laid out that street
could havo looked ahead tho expenso
would havo been only tho amount of
the surveyor's bill. In less degree
such tilings will happen- somo day in
Florida wherevor narrow roads are
built.
California has awakened to the idea
and has somo main roads 100 feet
wide.
As soon na Florida geta hard roads
tho travel by tourists nnd citizens by
motor car and motor truck will rapid
ly lncroaso nnd will grow In tlmo to
enormous proportions.
The climate and tho motor car will
accomplish it and It Is tlmo that tho
road huildetB awakened to these en
tlrcly new :ondltlons. Besides tho
question of safety nnd convcnlenco
thero is tho question of beauty, o
civic prido and tho satisfaction of
building right for all time.
Road builders must roalizo that tho
motor car has brought entirely now
conditions.
Thoy must lay out tho roads wido
enough for nil tlmo, whllo tho land can
bo ;ot for nothing. It Is a duty.
