CHAPTER X—Continued. ‘ You are worse off than Omar," .• BfcitJ. “He, at least, after the custou Ary agonizing of youth, found content and made of his materialism a Joyous thing.” “Who was Omar?” Wolf Larsen r sked, and I did no more work that (Jay, nor the next, nor the next. In his random reading he had never chanced upon the Rubaiyat, and it was to him like a great find of treasure. Much I remembered, possibly two thirds of the quatrains, and 1 man aged to piece out the remainder with out difficulty. I was interested as to which quatrain ho would like best, and was not surprised when he hit upon the one born of an instant’s irrita bility, and quite at variance with the Persian’s complacent philosophy and genial code of life: What, without asking, hither hurried Whence? And, without asking. Whither hurried hence! Oh, many a Cup of this forbidden Wine Must drown the memory of that inso lence! "Great!” Wolf Larsen cried. "Great! That’s the keynote. Insolence! He could not have used a better word.” In vain I objected and denied. Ho deluged me, overwhelmed me with ar gument. "It's not the nature of life to be otherwise. Life, when it knows that It must cease living, will always rebel. It cannot help itself. You have talked of the Instinct of immortality. I talk of the instinct of life, which is to live. It mastered It in you (you cannot deny it), because a crauy cockney cook sharpened a knife. “You are afraid of him now. You are afraid of me. You cannot deny it If I should catch you by the throat, thus”—his hand was about my throat and my breath was shut off—"and be gin to press the life out of you. thus, and thus, your instinct of immortality will go glimmering, and your instinct of life, which is longing for life, will flutter up, and you will struggle to save yourself. Eh? I see the fear of death in your eyes. YTou beat the air with your arms. ‘To live! To live! To live!' you are crying; and you are crying to live here and now, not here after. You doubt your immortality, eh? Ha! Ha! Y'our body draws itself up in knots like a snake’s. Your chest heaves and strains. To live! To live! To live—” 1 heard no more. Consciousness was blotted out by the darkness he had so graphically described, and when I came to myself I was lying on the floor aud he was smoking a cigar and re garding me thoughtfully with the old, familiar light of curiosity in his eyes “Well, have I convinced you?” he demanded.

And half the 'night wa ?at up over it. CHAPTER XI. The last twenty-four hours have wit nessed a carnival of brutally. From cabin to forecastle it seems to have broken out like a contagion. Thomas Mugridge is a sneak, a spy, an In former. He has been attempting to curry favor and reinstate himself in the good graces of the captain by car rying tales of the men forward. He it was, I know, that carried some of Johnson's hasty talk to Wolf Larsen. Johnson, it seems, bought a suit of oilskins from the slop-chest and found them to be of grsatly inferior quality. Nor was he slow in advertising the fact. I had just finished sweeping the cabin, and had been inveigled by Wolf Larsen into a discussion of Hamlet, his favorite Shakespearean character, when Johansen descended the com panion stairs followed by Johnson. The latter’s cap came ofT after the custom of the sei*. and he stood re spectfully in the center of the cabin, swaying heavily and uneasily to the ' roll of the schooner and facing the • I .. ptain. “Shut the doors and draw the slide,” ! >. olf Larsen said to me. ’ As I obeyed I noticed an anxious 1 come into Johnson’s eyes, but I 1 ft’l not dream of its cause. The mate, i .-'uliansen. stood away several feet to the side of him, and fully three yards in front of him sat Wolf Larsen on one of the pivotal cabin chairs. An appre ciable pause fell, a pause that must have lasted fully a minute. It was broken by Wolf Larsen. “Yonson.” he began. "My name Is Johnson, air,” the sail or boldly corrected. “Well, Johnson, then, damn you! Can you gness why I have sent for you?” “Yes, and no. sir," was the slow re ply. “My work Is done well. The mate knows that, and you know it. sir. So there cannot be any complaint.” “Johnson.” Wolf Larsen said, “I un derstand you’re not quite satisfied with those oilskins?” “No, I am not. They are no good, sir." “And you've been shooting oil your mouth about them.” “I say what I think, sir,” the sailor answered courageously. It was at this moment that I chanced ! to glance at Johansen. His big fists I were clenching and unclenching, and i his face was positively fiendish, so malignantly did he look at Johnson. “Do you know* what happens to men who say what you’ve said about my slop-chest and me?” Wolf Larsen de manded, sharply and imperatively. “What you and the mate there are going to do to me, sir.” | “Look at him. Hump,” Wolf Larsen i said to me, "look at this bit of animat I ed dust, that is impressed with certain ; human fictions such as righteousness j and honesty, and that will live up to His Hand Was About My Throat and My Breath Was Shut Off. them in spite of all personal discom forts and menaces. What do you think of him. Hump? What do you think of him?” “I think that he is a better man than you are," I answered, impelled, somehow, with a desire to draw upon myself a portion of the wrath 1 felt was about to break upon his head “His human fictions, as you choose to call them, make for nobility and man hood. You have no fictions, no dreams, no ideals. You are a pauper.” He nodded his head with savage pleasantness. “Quite true, Hump, quite true. I have no fictions that make for nobility and manhood. A living dog is better than a dead lion, say I with the Preacher. My only doc trine is the doctrine of expediency, and it makes for surviving. Do you know what I am going to do?” I shook my head. “Watch me.” Three yards away from Johnson ho was. and sitting down. Nine feet! And yet he left the chair in full leap, without first gaining a standing posi tion. It was an avalanche of fury that Johnson strove vainly to fend off. Wolf Larsen’s fist drove to the chest, with a crushing, resound ing impact. Johnson almost fell back ward, and swayed from side to side in an effort to recover his balance. I cannot give the further particulars of the horrible scene that followed. It was too revolting. It turns me sick even now when I think of it. Johnson fought bravely enough, but he was no match for W’olf Larsen, much less for W’olf Larsen and the mate. It was frightful. I felt that I should lose my mind, and I ran up the companion stairs to open the doors and escape on deck. But W’olf Larsen, leaving his victim for the moment, and with one of his tremendous springs, gained my side and flung me into the far corner of the cabin. "The phenomena of life. Hump,” he girded at me. "Stay and watch it. You may gather data on the immortal ity of the soul. Besides, you know, we can’t hurt Johnson’s soul. It’s only the fleeting form we may demolish.” It seemed centuries—possibly it was no more than ten minutes that the beating continued. W’olf Larsen and Johansen were all about the poor fel low. And when he could no longer rise they still continued to beat and kick him where he lay. "Easy, Johansen; easy as she goes,” Wolf Larsen finally said. "Jerk open the doors. Hump,” I was commanded. I obeyed, and the two brutes picked up the senseless man like a sack of rubbish and hove him clear up the companion stairs, through the narrow doorway, and out on deck. The blood from his nose gushed in a Bcarlet stream over the feet of the helms man, who was none other than Louis, his boat mate. But Louis took and gave a spoke and gazed imperturb ably into the binnacle. Not so was the conduct of George Leach, the erstwhile cabin-boy. Fore and aft there was nothing that could have surprised us more than his con sequent behavior. He it was that came up />n the poop without orders and dragged Johnson forward, where he set about dressing his wounds as well as he could and making him com fortable. Wolf Larsen was smoking a cigar and examining the patent log which the Ghost usually towed astern, but which had been hauled in for some purpose. Suddenly Leach’s voice came to my ears. It was tense and hoarse with an overmastering rage. I turned and saw him standing just beneath the break of the poop on the port side of the galley. His face was con vulsed and white, his eyes were flash ing, his clenched fists raised over head. ‘May God damn your soul to hell, Wolf Larsen, only hell's too«good for you, you coward, you murderer, you pig!” was his opening salutation. I was thunderstruck. I looked for his instant annihilation. But it was not Wolf Larsen’s whim to annihilate him. He sauntered slowly forward to the break of the poop, and, leaning his elbow on the corner of the cabin, gazed down thoughtfully and curious ly at the excited boy. And the boy indicted Wolf Larsen as he had never been Indicted before. Jlach moment I looked, and everybody looked, for him to leap upon the boy and destroy him. But it was not his whim. His cigar went out, and he continued to gaze silently and curi ously. Leach had worked himself Into an ecstasy of impotent rage. "Pig! Pig! Pig!” he was reiterat ing at the top of his lungs. “Why don’t you come down and kill me, you murderer? Come on. you coward! Kill me! Kill me! Kill me!” It was at this stage that Thomas Mugridge’s erratic soul brought him into the scene. He turned to Leach, saying: “Such langwldge! Shockin’!” Leach’s rage was no longer impo tent. Here at last was something ready to hand. And for the first time since the stabbing the cockney had appeared outside the galley without his knife. The words had barely left his mouth when he was knocked down by Leach. Three times he struggled I to his feet striving to gain the galley, and each time was knocked down. "Oh, Lord!” he cried. “’Elp! 'Elp! Tyke 'im aw’y, carn’t yer? Tyke ’lm aw’y!” The hunters laughed from sheer re lief. Tragedy had dwindled, the farce had begun. The sailors now crowded boldly aft, grinning and shuffling, to watch the pummeling of the hated cockney. And even I felt a great Joy surge up within me. I confess that I de j lighted in this beating Leach was giv ! ing to Thomas Mugridge, though It was as terrible, almost, as the one Mugridge had caused to be given to Johnson. But the expression of Wolf Larsen’s face never changed. The cockney strove in vain to protect him self from the infuriated boy. And In vain he strove to gaiif the shelter of the cabin. Blow followed blow with bewildering rapidity. He was knocked about like a shuttlecock, until, finally, like Johnson, he was beaten and kicked as he lay helpless on the deck. And no one interfered. But these two affairs were only the opening events of the day’s program. In the afternoon Smoke and Hender son fell foul of each other, and a fu sillade of shots came up from the steerage, followed by a stampede of the other four hunters for the deck. A column of thick, acrid smoke—the kind always made by black powder— was arising through the open compan t—-.... m “You Coward! \^u Murderer! You Pig!" Ion way, and down through It leaped Wolf Larsen. The sound of blows and scuffling came to our ears. Both men were wounded, and he was thrashing them both for having disobeyed hi* orders and crippled themselves In ad vance of the hunting season. In fact, they were badly wounded, and, having thrashed them, he proceeded to op erate upon them in a rough surgical fashion and to dress their wounds. I i served as assistant while he probed ! and cleansed the passages made by toe bullets, and 1 saw the two men endure his crude surgery without an esthetics and with no-more to uphold them than a stiff nimbleir of whisky. The second dog-watch and the day were wound up by a fight between Jo hansen and the leai^ Yankee-looking hunter, Latimer. It was caused by re marks of Latimer’s concerning the noises made by the mate in his sleep, and though Johansen was whipped, he kept the steerage awake for the rest of the night while he blissfully slum bered and fought the fight over and over again. A3 for myself, 1 was oppressed with nightmare. All my days had been passed In comparative ignorance of the animality of man. In fact. I had known life only in its intellectual phases. Brutality I had experienced, but it was the brutality of the intel lect—the cutting sarcasm of Charley Furuseth, the cruel epigrams and oc casional harsh witticisms of the fel lows at the Bibelot, and the nasty re marks of some of the professors dur ing my undergraduate days. That was all. Not for nothing had I been called “Sissy” Van Weyden, I thought, as I tossed restlessly on my bunk between one nightmare and an other. And it seemed to me that my innocence of the realities of life bad been complete indeed. I laughed bit terly -j myself, and seemed to find In Wolf Larsen's forbidding philosophy a more adequate explanation of life than I had found in my own. (TO BE CONTINUED.) Help Wanted. “Can I do anything for you?” asked the passing motorist of an exasper ated man who was trying to change a tire while his wife, a woman of com manding appearance, stood by and gave numerous directions. “Yes, in deed,” replied the exasperated man, as he mopped his brow. “My wife here is an ardent suffragette. 1 wish you would talk to her about the cause until 1 get this tire on.” a ■ Opportunity never troubles a man If there is nothing in him REFUTES THE CANAL THEORY Member of British Astronomical As sociation Takes Issue With Sci entists Concerning Mars. % according to the report on the 1909 opposition of Mars, published by the “section for the observation of Mars" of the British Astronomical associa tion, under the direction of E.

An toniadi, “the alleged existence of a geometrical network of canals on Mars has received a lasting and un fcnswerabie confutation.” Mr. Anton ladi had the advantage of using on Mars the great Meudon refractor, the anost powerful telescope in the Old World.

HOME TRAINING TO BLAME Northwestern University Professor Points Out What He Considers One of Crime’s Chief Causes. Prof. Robert H. Gault of Northwest ern university, in a report submitted to the crime commission of Chicago, declares that mental deficiencies and untit homes are the contributory causes of crime. ^ Another report submitted by Pro fessor Gault constitutes an attack on the present law by showing that crim inals whose history should exclude them from probation are given their liberty. The cause of the latter, the sociologist says, is inadequate investi gation. Compulsory education until the age of sixteen is one recommendation made by the professor to solve the delinquent boy problem, and another suggestion is that vocational training should begin at any time, optional with the pupil and his advisers—meaning hie parents or guardians. In the statistics compiled in the report, it is shown that many della-1 quent boys on probation in Cook coun ty are not working at all. others work only half time, and of those that work many are errand boys, wagon boys, bellhops, and have other occupations that contain no future for them. So ciety would best be served, it is con tended, if the delinquent boy had work where he realized he had a chance to make something of himself.—The Liv ing Church. In a Bit of a Hurry. A very small boy was taken to a dental establishment to have some of his first teeth pulled. For a second or so, during which time four teeth disappeared, everything was fairly se rene, and then came howls of objec tions. “I didn't want them teeth to come out," cried the young patient, sudden ly recollecting something. “1 want them to stay in." ‘That’s all right." consolingly re sponded the dentist. “They will soon grow in again." “Will they?” quickly rejoined the boy, with a brightening face. “Do yon think they will grow In time for din ner?"—Philadelphia Telegraph, OX WARBIES ATTACK BACKS OF CATTLE 1- - ' .. I— Stcckcr Steers in Pasture. (From Weekly News Detter United States Department o£ Agriculture.) Specialists of the department are urging cattle owners, in the North as well as in the South, to take steps to rid their cattle of ox warbles or “wolves," the importance of which to the cattle industry has been generally underestimated. Ox warbles are the whitish grubs cr maggots which de velop from the eggs deposited by cer tain flies known as warble flies or heel flies, and which injure the hides, reduce milk flow and retard the growth of the animals. The maggots are com monly found just below the skin on the backs of cattle in the spring. Their presence is revealed by local swellings about the size of pigeons’ eggs, each with a small central hole or perfora tion through which the maggot breathes. From this hole the maggot, when mature, emerges to enter the ground and change to the adult or fly stage. When full grown the grub is about three-fourths of an inch in length. In the past trouble from the warbles has largely been confined to cattle in the South, but recently the bureau of antomology has discovered that a sec ond species, heretofore not found in this country but known to be even a more serious pest in Europe than is lur native warble, has become well es tablished in certain districts in the aorthem part of the United States. While it is probable that this so-called European ox warble will not be of as great importance in the southern part 3f the United States as the species al ready established, there is every rea son to believe that unless checked it will become generally distributed •hroughout the northern half of the country. This European species is aow generally distributed throughout New York and the New England states ind a few specimens have been ch ained from western Pennsylvania, western Maryland, southern Michigan, eastern Iowa and Missouri, and west ern Washin^on. Attention is also di rected to the fact that this species is lew generally distributed throughout southern Canada. The department, :herefore, is calling attention at this :ime to the danger of spreading this species promiscuously about the coun ;ry, and is urging cattle owners to take :he simple means necessary to pre vent its spread. Until recently warbles were not re garded as serious even in the South, because it was thought that the loss Itaey occasioned came principally from he damage they did to hides. Even .his loss in the aggregate, however, is important, as hides show warble holes, ;hree to six months in the year, and iealers pay from 50 cents to $1.50 less for hides that show even moderate warble infestation. In many cases the scars left after the holes have healed cause buyers to cut prices consid ;rably. The loss from the warble, however, s by no means limited to the holes the maggots cut in the hides. Extensive nvestigations in Germany and Den nark indicate that the losses through reduction in milk supply in dairy cat :le, the retardation of growth in young stock, and the loss of flesh in all dasses of animals are twofold greater ihan the damage done to the hides. In some of these tests the early extrac tion of the grubs from the backs of in fested cattle resulted in an increase of aearly 25 per cent in the milk produc tion. Animals from which the grubs aad been extracted showed a gain of aiore than five per cent in weight over similar animals in which the' pests were allowed to develop normally. Thus far the veterinarians and en tomologists of the department have Jetermined no better way of control ling these pests than through the sys tematic extraction and destruction of the grubs from the backs of infested animals. When the larvae are nearly ready to leave their host they may be easily squeezed out by pressing the swelling with the fingers, but if not so far de veloped it is often very difficult to get them out by squeezing. In such cases a slender pair of forceps may be used for pulling them out. If the swelling and its opening are still very small, the best way of extracting the grub is to make an incision with a knife, after which the grub can be squeezed out by applying strong pressure. Kill the grub when removed. It is important that warbles be re moved as early in their development as possible. This relieves the infested animal from the irritation and pre vents the enlargement of the exit holes. While this practice is not ap plicable to ranch conditions, it is SIMPLE BLOODY MILK CURE Trouble Is Caused by Derangement of Glands of Udder and Is Not Con sidered Contagious. Bloody milk is caused by a derange ment of the glands of the udder. The trouble is not contagious and the milk j from the teats that do not give bloody milk is fit for use. Bathe the udder for fifteen minutes with cold water after each milking, then inject a teaspoonful of the fol easily put into effect on small farms and in dairies. In the southern states the herds should be gone over early in December and about twice later at monthly intervals. In the northern states the extraction should be begun six weeks to two months later. i£ no grubs are allowed to drop to the ground and reach maturity, the num bir appearing in cattle in subsequent years will be materially reduced, and if extraction is followed up for several years almost complete eradication will result. Of course it is important where possible to get concerted ac tion among the stockmen in the de struction of these pests. In extensive experiments along this line in Germany it was determined that the cost of removing all of the warbles from the backs of cattle during one season was about three cents per head In this case men were employed es pecially to do the work. It is possible for practically every farmer and dairy man in this country to accomplish this work without material expense or lose of time. It is suggested that in those com munities where cow-testing associa tions have been formed the men charged with tills work could in many cases devote part of their time to edu eating the stock raisers as to the losses caused by ox warbles, and to aiding the members of the association in destroying the pests. Investigations conducted by the de partment indicate that eradication also may be accomplished by the use of arsenical dips, which are extensive ly employed at the present time for destroying cattle ticks. These inves tigations are being extended, and ex perimental work is in progress which it is hoped may establish effective and practicable methods of destroying war bles. The arsenical dip appears to act not upon the well-developed grub be neath the skin, but upon the eggs or the newly hatched larvae, probably the latter. It is not unlikely that the destructive action of arsenical dips up on warbles is more or less dependent upon the fact that arsenic is stored up Dipping Cattle. in small quantities in and upon the skin of cattle which are repeatedly dipped in arsenical dips. The discovery of the European ox warble in certain sections of the North makes this pest significant to northern cattle raisers and to those who import pure-bred or other cattle from these sections. During the winter and spring months considerable numbers of pure bred live stock are purchased in the northeastern states and are shipped to various parts of the country. It is urged that all animals thus transport ed be examined by the purchasers and all grubs destroyed during the spring and summer. Animals purchased at any season of the year may harbor these pests. In the winter and spring they will be found beneath the skin od the back, while at other times of the year the grubs are elsewhere in the body of the host, and it will be neces sary to watch for the appearance of these grubs during the following sea> son. In those states in which regis tration of all imported animals is re quired it would be comparatively easy for the authorities to follow upf such importations and see that any warbles are destroyed.
