CHAPTER X Continued.
"Him? Oil, Joso on' mo carried him
inter tho for'casscl, nn shoved him
inter a berth tor sleep off his liquor.
Thct wus tho last I ever see or hc'ar
' him fer 'bout six hours, when this
yero feller must a woke up In tho for'
cassel sum crazy. lie cum a chargln'
out on deck, whoopln' like an Indian,

fer ter raise h 1. Well, it huppened
thot tho fu'st feller ho run up against
wus .LoVere, who wus cumin' forrard
fer sumthln', an' fer about a minute
thar was ono h 1 ov a fight. It was
so dark I couldn't tell whut did hap
pen, but It wus fists mostly, till tho
mate droyo tho poor devil, cussln' like
mad, over agin tho rati, nn' then
heaved him out Inter tho water 'long
side. I heerd tho feller splosh when
ho struck, but he nover let out no
yell."
"What did LoVero do?"
"Him? Ho didn't do nuthln'. Just
stnrod down over tho rail u bit, an'
then cum back, rubbln' his hands.
(Never even asked who tho feller wus.
Thar nln't nuthln' kin skeer that black
bruto."
"lie ain't got no human In htm. It's
h 1 when English sallormen lies got
ter tako orders from n d d nigger,
an' be knocked 'round If they don't
Jump when he barks. He's goln ter
get a knife In his ribs sum day."
"Maybe he la; but yer better hold
yer tongue, Tom. Sanchez don't stand
fee thot talk, an' ho's back o' LoVere,
Let's go In ; them gaskets will hold all
right now cum 'long."
I could now perceive now clearly tho
character I was destined to assumo
when onco safely aboard tho Namur.
Such an assumption would lnvolvo but
alight danger of discovery. It was as
though a mlrnclo had opened tho way,
revealed to me by the unconscious lips
of these two half-drunken, gossiping
ullors. Tho story told fitted my ne
cessities exactly. Dad I planned tho
circumstances myself nothing could
have been better prearranged. No ono
Da board had seen tho missing man by
daylight; ho was believed to have
nuuk without a struggle,
"Whar did yer cum frum?" he
growled, and I as Instantly recognized
Kill Haines. "Been sojerln', have yer?
Well, now, lay to an' pull."
Before I could nttempt an answer
a tall figure loomed up before us, the
some high-pitched voice I had noticed
previously calling out sharply:
"There, that's enough, men I Now
make fast. We can head the old girl
out from here In a Jiffy, If It really be
gfiis to blow. Jose, you Bland by at
tho wheel, In case you're needed ; some
of the rest ship the capstan bars, und
remain near for a call."
"What are yo uwlngln' the yards
fur, anyhow. LeVero?" asked Ilalnes
Insolently. "Just for exercise?"
"Because I am n sailor, Ilalnes," he
replied angrily. "Anyhow It Is nono
of your business; I was left in com
round here. Those clouds don't look
good to me; there Is going to bo
blow before morning."
Ilalnes growled something nnd Le
Vero wheeled sharply ubout to go for
ward. Tills movement placed hlni
face to face with me.
"What nro you loafing hero fer?
Who nro you?"
"Joo Gates, sir," I answered quickly,
mouthing the first nam which carao
to my Hps.
"Gates Joo Gates.?" peering Bav-
agely Into my face but unablo to (lis
tlngulsh tho features. "I nover heard
of anybody on board by that name,
Who Is the fellow, Haines?"
Tho Englishman gripped mo by tho
slcevo to whirl mo about, but as his
fingers touched tho soaked cloth of my
jacket ho burst forth with an oath.
"no's wet enough to bo the same lad
you chucked overboard an hour ago
believe no is. say, mate, are you
the gay buck wo hauled aboard drunk
and dumped Into the for'casscl?"
"I dunno, sir," I nnswered dumbly,
believing It best not tA remember too
much. "I couldn't oven tell yer whut
- Tes, an' yer might find another nft, I
If yer looked fer it. Mor'n thet, wo
know how to use 'em. Now see here,
Gutcs; thar's no reason why wo should
bent about the bush fact Is wo'ro sea
rovers."
"Sea roverspirates, sir?" '
"Bah I what's a namel Wo tako
what we want; It's our trade, that's
all. No worse thnn many another.
Tho question Is, are yer goln' ter tnke
n chance 'long with us? It's tho only
life,, lad plenty of fun, the best of
liquor and pretty girls, with a shore In
all tho swag."
"What Is the narno of this bark?"
"The Namur out o' Rotterdam till
we took her."
"Who's the captain?"
"Sllva Sanchez."
"Gawd I Sanchez not not 'Block
Sanchez?'
"That's him; so yer'vo heerd of
'Black Sanchez?' Well, we're sallln'
long with him, nil right, mate, an'
yer ought ter know whut thct means
fer n good man."
I hesitated, yet only long enough to
leave the Impression I sought to make
on them both.
"Likely thar ain't no sailor but what
has heerd o' him," I said slowly. "It
don't look like thar wus much choice,
does It?"
LoVere appeared amused in his way,
whloh was not n pleasant ono.
"Oh, yes, friend, there Is cholco
enough. Bill, here, had exactly tho
same choice when he first come hey,
BIU? Remember how you signed on,
after we took you off the Albatross?
This Is how It stands, Gates either
go forrard quietly yerself, er the both
of us will kick you there. That will be
enough talk. Go on, now."
It wns a curt dismissal, coupled Vlth
a plain threat, easy to understand. I
obeyed the order gladly .enough, slink
ing nway Into the black shadows for
ward, realizing my good fortune, and
seeking some spot where I could be
alone.
Tho crew had disappeared, lying
down no doubt in corners out of the
wind. And this wind was certainly
rising. I wondered that LeVera hung
on so long In his perilous position, al
though, In spite of the increased strain,
the anchor still clung firmly. It seemed
to me thot no hawser ever made could
long withstand the terrific strain of'
our tugging, as the struggling bark
roso and fell In the grip of the sea. To
him must have come the same con
viction, for suddenly his high-pitched
voice sang out from the poop ;
"Stand by, forrard, to lower the star
board nnchor ; move lively, men. Every
thing ready, Haines?"
"All clear, sir. Come on the jump,
bullies 1"
"Then lot go smartly. Wntch that
you don't get tho lino fouled. Aloft
there 1 Anything In sight, Cavere?"
From high up on the fore-top yard,
the answer, blown by the wind, came
down In broken English :
"Non, m'sleur; I see nottlngs;"
I Joined tho watch forward. The
number of men on deck was evidence
of a large crew, there being many
more than were necessary for the
work to be done. Most of them ap
peared to be able seamen, and Haines
drove them mercilessly, cursing them
for lubbers, nnd twice kicking vicious
ly at a stooping form. Then the great
ropo began to slip swiftly through tho
hawso hole, and we heard the sharp
splash us tho Iron flukes struck the
water, and sank. Almost at that same
Instant the voice of Cavcro rang out
from the masthead:
"A sail, m'sleur a sail 1"
"Where away?"
"Off zo port quarter. I make ect to
be zo lcetlo boat she Just round ze
point."

COOLING MILK ON THE FARM
mmm
During Hot Weather It Is Best to Ar
range System So That Water
Comes Direct From Well.
(Prepared by tho United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
Milk may be cooled most cfilclently
on tho farm by running It over a sur
face cooler In which tho nvallablo wa
ter supply is used ui Its coldest tetn
pcraturo nnd the cooling completed by
storing the cans of milk In a tank of
Ih water. It Is possible In that way
within n short time to lower the tem
perature of milk to below BO degrees
V. Frequently tho water used for cool
ing milk is not used to the best ad
vantage. Spring wnter Is sometimes
allowed to flow over tho surface of tho
ground nnd Is warmed several degrees
before reaching the cooling apparatus.
During the summer water from u stor
age tank,abovo ground Is usually much
warmer than that drawn directly from
the well. It Is best, therefore, to ar
range tho cooling system so that tho
water which flows through tho sur-
face cooler or cooling tank comes di
rectly from tho well or, If from a
spring, It Is conveyed In a pipe well
below the surface of the ground. If
Ice Is used in n cooling tank the quan
tity of water surrounding the cans
should be as small as possible to give
satisfactory results. Space enough
should bo provided between the sides
of the tank nnd the cans of milk to
allow for a sufllclent quantity of Ice
und water to cool the milk properly.
If a large volume of water has to be
cooled much more Ice will be neces
sary. If it Is desired to cool milk

about 85 degrees F. to one of CO de-

I seem ter remember I wua ashore
frum tho schooner Caroline; but this

Haines laughed, already convinced
of my Identity, and considering it n
good joke. Then he proceeded to tell
mo nil about it.

knew posltlvoly that this was so, be
cause no ono cared. Tho death of the
lad had simply been taken for granted
when LoVero had failed to see his
jody rlso again to tho surface. Yet it
wrs quite within tho realm of possl
lllty for tho fellow to como up onco
more in that darkness, beyond Le-
Vero's rango of vision, and even to
havo remained afloat, buoyed up by
clinging to the anchor hawser, until
strong enough to return on board. At
least there was no ono aboard the Nu
Biur ablo to deny that this had been
done.
Satisfied by this reasoning of being
able to pass myself off as tho dead
nan, I began slowly and cautiously to
drag myself up tho taut hawser. I
had chosen a fortunate moment for my
effort; no ono heeded the little noise
t made, and, when I finally topped tho
rait nnd was ablo to look Inboard It
woo to discover a deserted foro deck,
with tho watch all engaged at some
task amidships. I crept down tho foro-
"No doubt of it. But ho never knew
what ho was doln' ho wus crazy as a
loon. Thero's nuthln' fer yer tor fuss

I watched LoVere, but ho remained
motionless, a mero shadow.
"I suppose It must have been that,
sir," I confessed respectfully, "If
things happened as you say they did.
I haven't any memory o' tryln' ter
slush nobody. Lcnstwlso I seemed
ter know whut I wus about when I

ther; furst I know I wus slushln'

CHAPTER XI.
The Return of the. Boat.
Tho crew hurried over to the port
rail. Beyond doubt most of those
aboard realized that this had been an
expedition of some importance, the cul
ruination of their long wait on tho
coast, part of somo scheme of their
chief, in tho spoils of which they ex
pected to share. Moreover this boat
approaching through the darkness was
bringing back their leader, ana now-
over else they might feel toward mm,

sourcefulness of Sanchez meant suc

(Prepared by tho United States Depart

Sterilization of dairy utensils Is
neccssnry for the production of dairy
products of high quality, particularly
milk and cream, because the washing
of dairy utensils, at least by tho proc
ess generally used, Is not sufllclent to
Insuro freedom from Infection nnd
contamination. Steam is neccssnry to
kill tho disease germs and harmful
bacteria that lurk in milk cans, buck

wherever milk Is produced. Dairy

sterilized elllclently because steam Is
not available. Tho United States de

simple and Inexpensive, yet efllclent,
steam sterilizer which can bo provided
at such n' small cost as to justify Its
use on any farm from which milk or
