"Wolf LarBen," I said sternly, for
tbo first tlmo addressing hlni by this
Ills most famlllnr name, "I am unablo
to shoot a holplcsB, unresisting man.
You havo proved that to my satisfac
tion as well as yours. Uut I warn you
now, nnd not so much for your own
good as for mine, that I shall shoot
you tho moment you attempt a hoBtllo
net. I can shoot you now, as I stand
hero; nnd If you aro so minded, Just
go ahead and try to clap on tho
hatch."
"Nevertheless, I forbid you, I dis
tinctly forbid your tampering with my
ship."
"But, man!" I oxpoatulatcd, "you
ndranco tho fact thnt It Is your ship
na though It wero a moral right. You
havo nover considered moral rights In
your dealings with others. You sure
ly do Jiot dronm thnt I'll consider them
la dealing with you?"
I had stepped underneath tho open
hatchway no thnt I could seo him.
Tho ltrclc of expression on his faco, so
different from when I had watched
him unsocn, was enhanced by tho i
blinking, staring eyes. It was not u
pleasant faco to look upon.
"And nono so poor, not oven Hump,
to do him rovoronco." ho sneered.
Tw snof.r was wholly In his volco.
HIh face remained expressionless as
ever,
"lftw Oo you do, Miss IJrowator?"
ho said nuddonly, aftor a pause.
I ntarted. Sho had mado no nolso
whatever, had not oven moved. Could
it Uo that Bomo glimmer of vision re
mained to him? or that his vision was
coming back?
"How do you do, Captain Larson,"
he answered. "Pray, how did you
kjlerw I was hero?"
"Iteard your breathing, of courso.
1 say, Hump's Improving, don't you
think so?"
"I don't know," sho nnsworod, smil
ing at mo. "I havo nover seen him
othorwlso."
"You should havo seen him before,
then."
"Wolf Larson, m largo dosos," I
ourmurod, "boforo, and after taking."
"I want to toll you again. Hump,"
bo said threateningly, "that you'd hot
ter lonvo things nlono."
"But don't you caro to oscapo as
welt as wo?" I asked incredulously.
"No," was his unswor. "I Intend
dying hero."
"Well, wo don't," I concluded dofl
ntly, beginning again my knocking

CHAPTER XXIX.
Noxt day, tho mast-stops clear nnd
everything In roadlncss, wo started to
got tho two topmasts aboard. The
Malntopniast was over thirty foot In
longth, tho forotopmast nearly thirty,
and It wob of thesa that I intended
making tho shears. It was puzzling
work. Fastening ono end of a hoavy
tacklo to tho windlass, and with tho
other ond fast to tho forotopmast, li
bogan to heave. Maud hold tho turn
on tho wlndlas and colled down tho
slack.
But when tho butt of tho topmaBt
was lovol wltft tho rail, everything
came to a standstill.
1 Instructing her how to hold tho turn
and bo ready to slack rfway at com
mand, I laid Bold of tho mast with
my hands nnd tried to balanco It In
bonrd across tho rail. When I thought
J had It I cried to her to slack away;
t)ut tl(o spar righted, despite my ef
forts, and dropped back toward tho
water. Again I heaved It up to its old
position, for I had now another Idea.
1 romomborod tho watohtacklo a
small doublo nnd single block affair
and fetched it.
White 1 was rigging It botweon tho
top of tho Bpar and tho opposite rail,
Wolf Larson camo on tho scono. Wo
exchanged nothing moro than good
momlngB and. though ho could not
hoo, ho sat on tho rail out of tho way
nnd followed hy tho Bound all that l
did.
Again Instructing Maud to slack
nway at tho windlass whon I gavo the
word, I proceeded to heavo on tho
watchtacklo. Slowly tho mast swung
In until it balanced nt right angles
across tho mil; ond thon I discovered
to, my amazement that thcro wus no
need for Maud to slack away. In fact,
tho very opposite was necessary. Mak
ing tho wntchtacklo fast, I havo on
tho windlass and brought In tho maBt,
Inch by inch, till Its top tilted down
to tho deck and finally Its wholo
length lay on tho dock.
In less than un hour I had tho main
topmast on deck and was constructing
tho shears. Lashing the t,vo topmaBts
logeuior, ovoryuung in ronuincss, i
rondo n line fast and carried It direct
ly to tho windlass. The shears roso
In tho air. Boforo 1 finished guying It
foro and aft and 'to either aide twl
light had sot In. Wolf Larson, who
had sat about and listened all nftor
noon and never opened his mouth, had
taken htmself off to tho galley and
started his supper.
"I wish It weren't so lato," I said.
"I'd like to seo how It works."
f "Don't be a glutton, Humphrey,'
Xaud chldci me. "Itemoniber, tomor
row Is coming, and you're so tired
now that you can hardly stand."
"And you?" I said, .vlth suddon so
llcltudo. "You iiust bo very tired.
You havo worked hard nnd nobly. I
am proud of you, Maud."
"Not half ho proud ub I am of you,
nor with half the reason," she an
swered looking mo straight In tho
oyea for a momont with an expression
in her own and a dancing, tromulous
light which 1 hnd not soon boforo and
which gavo mo n pang of quick do
light I know not why, for I did not
understand it. Then sho dropped her
eyes, to lift them ngaln, laughing.
"if our friends could seo us now,"
sho oald. "Look nt us. Havo you
over pausod tot a moment to con
sider our. nppenranco?"
"Yes, I havo considered yours, fro
(inontly," I answered, puzzling over
what I had soon In her eyes and pilz
zled by her Buddon clinngo of subject.
"Mercy! " aho cried. "And what do
I look llko, pray?"
"A scarecrow, I'm afraid," 1 ropllod.
"Just glanco nt your draggled skirts,
for Instance. Look nt thoso throo
cornorcd tears. And such a waist!
It would not require a Shorlock
Holmes to deduce that you havo been
cooking over a camp-liro, to say noth
ing of trying out seal blubber. And
to cap It all, that cap! And all that
is tho woman who wrote 'A Kiss En
dured." "
Sho mado mo an olabornto and state
ly curtsy, and said, . "As for you,
sir "
And yot, through tho flvo minutes
of banter which followed, thoro was a
serious something underneath the fun
which I could not but rolato to tho
strango and llcotlng oxpreBsIon I had
caught In hor eyes.
CHAPTER XXX.
Tho noxt day wo did no work.
In tho morning ollowlng wo had
breakfast and woro at work by day
light. Thoro was no wind, tho tido
was high, and tho schbonor floated.
Casting off tho shoro linos, 1 kodged
hor out by main- strongth, lowored
tho big starboard anchor, giving plen
ty of slack; and by afternoon 1 waB
at work on tho windlass.
Thrco dayB I worked on that wind
lass. Least of all things was I a
mechanic, nnd In that tlmo I accom
plished what an ordinary machinist
would havo dono In as many hours. I
had to learn my tools to begin with,
and ovory almplo mechanical prin

learn. And nt tho ond of throo days
I had a windlass which worked rlum.
slly. It novor gavo tho satisfaction tho
old windlass had given, but It worked
and mado my work possible
In half a day I got tho two tonmasts
aboard aud tho shears rlcced and
guyed as boforo, And that night I
slopt an board and on dock bosldo my
work. Mnud, who refused to stay
alone aBhoro, slopt In tho forocnstlo.
Wolf Larson had snt about, listonlncr
to my repairing tho wIiuIIobs and talk
ing wun niauu and mo upon indlffor

on olthor aldo to tho destruction of

went aft.
"Something must uo done. Hum

when I told hor of tho nlitht's

or sot flro to It. Thoro 1b no tolling

"But how?" 1 asked, with a helnlesa

long as his resistance Is paoslvo 1
cannot flhoot him."
Thcro must bo somo way." sho con
tended. "Lot mo think."
"Thcro Is ono way," I said grimly.
Sho waited.
1 picked up a seal club.
"It won't kill him," I said. "And
boforo ho could recover I'd haVo him
bound hard und fast."
She shook her head with n Bhuddor.
No, not that. Thcro must bo somo
less brutal way. Let us wait."
But wo did not havo to wait long,
and tho problem solved itself. In tho
morning, after several trials, I found
tho point of balunco In tho foremast
and attached my hoisting tacklo a fow
foot above it. At tho end of an hour
tho single and doublo blocks camo to
gether at tho top of tho shoars. ' 1
could hoist no moro. And yet tho
mast wna not swung entirely Inboard.
Tho butt rested against tho outsldo of
tho port rail, whllo tho top of tho mast
overhung tho water far beyond tho
starboard rail. My shears woro too
ohort. All my work had been for
nothing. But I no longer despaired In
tho old way. I was acquiring moro

Thoro was a way In which It could bo
dono and It remained for mo to And
thnt way.
Whllo 1 was considering tho prob-
lom, Wolf Larson camo on deck. Wo
noticed something strango about him
at onco. Tho IndoclslvcncsB, or foo-
bleness, of his movomonts was moio
pronounced. His walk was actually

tottery us ho camo down tho port side
of tho cabin. At tho break of tho
poop ho rooled, ralBed ono hand to
his oyea with tho familiar brushing
gesturo and foil down tho stops still
on his feet to tho main dock, across
which ho staggered, falling and fling
ing out his nrms for support. Ho re
gained his balanco by tho steerage
companlonway and stood thoro dizzily
for a spneo, when ho. suddenly crum
pled up nnd collapsed, his legs bond
ing under him ns ho sank to tho dock.
"One of his attacks." I whispered to
Maud,
Sho nodded hor head; and 1 could
seo sympathy warm In hor oyes.
Wo went up to him, but ho seemed
unconscious, breathing spasmodically.
Sho took chargo of him, lifting his
hoad to koop tho blood out of it and
dispatching mo for a pillow. I also
brought blankets, and wo mado him
comfortabld, I took IiIb pulse. It beat
steadily and strong, and wns quite
normal. This puzzlod mo. I became
suspicious.
"What If ho should bo feigning
this?" I asked, still holding his wrist.
Mnud shook hor head and there was
roproof In hdr eyeo. But Just thon tho
wrist I hold lenpod from my hand,
and tho hand clasped llko a steel
about my wrist. I cried aloud In aw
ful fear, a wild innrtlculato cry; and
I caught ono gllmpso of IiIb face, ma
lignant and triumphant, ns his othor
hand compassed my body nnd I wsb
drawn down to him in a terrible grip.
My wrist was released, but his othor
arm, passod around my buck, hold
both my arms so that I could not
move. His fi po hand wont to my throat
and In that moment I know tho bitter
est foretaste of death earned by one's
own Idiocy,
My faco was against his chest nnd 1
could not seo, but I heard Maud turn

erything was happening quickly. 1

oyes had gono Instantly to her rnco
and sho was looking at mo with min
gled nlarm and roller. A heavy seal
club In her hand caught my eyes, and
nt that momont sho followed my gazo
down to It. Tho club dropped from
her hand as though It had nuddonly
stung her, and at tho samo momont
my heart surged with a great Joy.
Truly sho wns my woman, my mate
woman, fighting with mo and for mo
an tho mate of a cavoman would have
fought, all the primitive In her
aroused, forgetful of her culture, hard
under tho softening civilization of the
only llfo sho had ever known.
"Dear woman!" I cried, scrambling
to my feet.
Tho noxt moment bIio was In my
arms, weoplng convulsively ou my
uhouldor whllo I clasped hor close. I
looked down at tho brown glory of hor
hair, glinting goms In tho sunshlno fnr
moro precious to mo than thoso In
tho treasure chostB of. kings. And I
bent my- head and kissed her hair
softly, so softly that oho did not know.
Then sober thought camo to me.
After all, sho was only n woman, cry
ing her rollof, now that tho danger
was past, In tho arms of hor protector
or of tho ono who had been endan
gered. Had I been father or brother,
tho situation would havo been in no
wlso different. Besides, time and
placo wero not meet, and I wished to
earn a better right to docloro my love.
So onco again I softly kissed her hair
as I felt her receding from my clasp.
"It was a real attack this tlmo," I
said; "another shock llko the ono that
mado him blind. Ho feigned at first,
and in doing so' brought it on."
Mnud was already rearranging his
pillow.
"No," I said, "not yet. Now that I
have him holplcss, helpless ho shall
remain. From this day wo llvo In the
cabin. ' Wolf Larson shall llvo In the
Bteorago."
I caught him undor tho shoulders
and dragged him to the companion
way. At my direction Maud fetched
n ropo. Placing this undor his shoul
ders, I balanced him across tho
threshold and lowered him down tho
stops to tho floor. I could not lift him
directly Into a bunk, hut with Maud's
help I lifted first his shoulders and
hoad, thon his body, balanced him
across tho edgo and rolled him Into a
lower bunk.
But this was not to bo all. I recol
lected tho handcuffs In his stnteroom,
which ho preferred to uso on sailors
Instead of tho ancient and clumsy
ship irons. So, whon wo left him, ho
lay handcuffed hand and foot. For
tho first tlmo in many days I breathod
freely. I folt strangely light ns I
camo on dock, as though a wolght bad
bocn lifted from my shoulders. I folt,
also, that Maud and I had drawn moro
closely together. And I wondered If
sho, too, folt It, as wo walked along
tho dock Bido by sldo to where tho
stalled foremast hung in tho shears.
CHAPTER XXXI.
At onco wo movod aboard the

Of all animals on tho farm, cattlo

to result from attempting to swallow
without mastication, carrots, turnips,
potatoes, apples or sugar beets. Cat

sorts of unseemly things which could
not bo digested if swallowed, and the
practice Indicates a depraved appetite
In such cases, if tho services of a

Attempting to pour water down the

going Into tho lungs, and tho result
Is death of the animal, that might

A caso of turnip choko camo under

broomstick was thrust down into tho
throat in an effort to push tho turnip
