It was my own phrase, my pet, secret phrase, my love phrase tor her. “Where did you get that phrase?" I demanded, with an abruptness that In turn startled her. “What phrase?" she asked. “One small woman." “Is it yours?" she asked. “Yes," I answered, “mine. I made It." “Then you must have talked in your Bleep,” she smiled. The dancing, tremulous light was in her eyes. .Mine, I knew, were speak lDg beyond the will of my speech. I leaned toward her. Without volition I leaned toward her, as a tree is swayed by the wind. Ah, we were Yery close together in that moment. But she shook her head, as one might ■hake off sleep or a dream, saying; “I have known it all my life. It was my father's name for my mother." “It Is my phrase, too," I said stub bornly. “For your mother?” “No," 1 answered, and she ques tioned jio further, though I could have eworn her eyes retained for some time a mocking, teasing expression. With the foremast in. the work now went on apace. Almost before I knew it, and without one serious hitch, I had the mainmast stepped. A der rick bocm. rigged to the foremast, had accomplished this; and several days 1 more found . il stays and shrouds in place, and everything set up taut. Top sails wcuid be a nuisance and a dan ger for a crew of two, so I heaved i the topGiasts on deck and lashed them fast. Several more days were consumed In finish ng the sails and putting them on. Thffre were only three—the Jib, | foresail, and mainsail: and, patched, ! shortened. and distorted, they were a ridiculously ill-fitting suit for so trim | ■ craft as the Ghost. "But they 11 work!" Maud cried j Jubilantly. “We'll make them work, j and trust our lives to them!” Certainly, among my many new ! trades. I shone least as a sailmaker. | I could sail them better than make ' them, and I had no doubt of my power ! to bring the schooner to «eme north ern port of Japan. In fact, 1 had crammed navigation from text books aboard; and besides, there was Wolf i Carsen's -star-scale, so simple a de- 1 vice that a child could work it. As for its inventor, beyond an in- ! creasing deafness and the movement of the lips growing fainter and faint er, there had been little change in his condition for a week. But on the day we finished bending the schoon er's saifs. he heard his last, and the last movement of his lips died away —but not before I had asked him, "Are you all there?” and the lips had answered, “Yes." The last line was down. Somep-nere within that tomb of the flesh still dwelt the soul of the man. Walled by the thing day. that tierce intelligence twe had known burned on; but it burned on in silence and darkness. And it was disembodied. To that in telligence there could be no objective knowledge of a body. It knew no body. The very world was not. It knew only itself and the vastness and j profundity of the quiet and the dark. ! CHAPTER XXXIIi. The day came for our departure. There was no longer anything to de tain us on Endeavor island. The Ghost's stumpy masts were in place, her crazy sails bent. All my handi work was strong, none of it beautiful; hut 1 knew that it would work, and I felt myself a man of power as I looked as it. "1 did it! I did it! With my own hands I did it!” I wanted to cry aloud. But Maud and I had a way of voic ing each other's thoughts, and she said, as we prepared to hoist the mainsail: "To think. Humphrey, you did it all with your own hands!” "But there were two other hands,” I answered. "Two small hands, and don't say that was a phrase, also, of your father.” She laughed and shook her head, and held her hands up for inspection. “I can never get them clean again," she wailed, "nor soften the weather beat." "Then dirt and weather-beat shall be your guerdon of honor," 1 said, holding them in mine; and. in spit< of my resolutions, I would have kissec the two dear hands had she not swift ly withdrawn them. Our comradeship was becoming tremulous. 1 had mastered my love long and well, but now it was master ing me. Willfully had it disobeyed and won my eyes to speech, and now- ii was winning my tongue—ay, and my lips, for they were mad this moment to kiss the two small hands which had toiled so faithfully and hard. And 1 too. was mad. There was a cry in my being like bugles calling me tc her. And there was a wind blowing upon me which 1 could not resist, swaying the very body of me till I leaned toward her, all unconscious that 1 leaned. And she knew it. She could not but know it as she swiftly drew- away her hands, and yet could not forbear one quick, searching look before she turned away her eyes. By means of deck-tackles I had ar ranged to carry the halyards forward to the windlass; and now I hoisted the mainsail, peak and throat, at the same time. It was a clumsy way, but it did not take long, and soon the fore sail as well was up and fluttering. “We can never get that anchor up in this narrow place, once it has left the bottom," I said. "We should be on the rocks first." “What can you do?" she asked. "Slip it.” was my answer. “And when I do you must do your first work on-the windlass. 1 shall have to run at once to the wheel, and at the same time you must be hoisting the jib.” This maneuver of getting under way I had studied and worked out a score of times, and. with the jib-hal yard to the windlass. 1 knew Maud was capable of hoisting that most necessary sail. A brisk wind was blowing into the cove, and though the water was calm, rapid work was required to get us safely out. When I knocked the shackle-bolt loose the chain roared out through the hawse-hole and into the sea. i raced aft, putting the wheel up. The Ghost seemed to start into life as she heeled to the first fill of her sails. The jib was rising. As it filled the Ghost’s bow swung off and I had to put the wheel down a few spokes and steady her. I had devised an automatic jib sheet, which passed the jib across of itself, so there was no need for Maud to attend to that; but she w-as still hoisting the jib when I put the wheel hard down. It was a moment of anxiety, for the Ghost was rush ing directly upon the beach, a stone's throw distant. But she swung obe diently on her heel into the wind. I Raced Aft, Putting the Wheel Up. There was a great fluttering and flap ping of canvas and reef-points, most welcome to my ears, then she tilled away on the other tack. Maud had finished her task and come aft, where she stood beside me, a small cap perched on her wind blown hair, her cheeks flushed from exertion, her eyes wide and bright with the excitement, her nostrils quivering to the rush and bite of the fresh salt air. Her brown eyes were like a startled deer’s. There was a wild, keen look in them 1 had never seen before, and her lips parted and her breath suspended as the Ghost, charging upon the wall of rock at the entrance to the inner cove, swept into the wind and filled away into safe wa ter. My first mate’s berth on the sealing grounds stood me in good stead, and I cleared the inner cove and laid a long tack along the shore of the outer cove. Once again about, and the Ghost headed out to open sea. She had now caught the bosom-breathing of the ocean, and was herself a-breath with the rhythm of it as she smooth ly mounted and slipped down each broad-backed wave. The day had been dull and overcast, but the sun now burst through the clouds, a wel come omen, and shone upon the curv ing beach where together wo had dared the lords of the harem and slain the holluschickie. All En deavor island brightened under the sun. Even the grim southwestern promontory showed less grim, and here and there, where the sea-spray wet its surface, high lights flashed and dazzled in the sun. “1 shall always think of it with pride,” I said to Maud. She threw her head back in a queenly way, but said. “Dear, dear Endeavor island! 1 shall always love It.” “And I.” I said quickly. It seemed our eyes must meet in a great understanding, and yet, loath, they struggled away and did not meet. There was a silence I might almost call awkward, till I broke it, say ing: "See those black clouds to wind ward. You remember. I told you last night the barometer was falling.” “And the sun is gone." she said her eyes still fixed upon our island, where we had proved our mastery over matter and attained to the tru est comradeship that may fall to mar. and woman. "And it's slack off the sheets for Japan!” I cried gayly. “A fair wind and a flowing sheet, you know, or however it goes.” Lashing the wheel, 1 ran forward, eased the fore and main sheets, took In on the boom-tackles, and trimmed everything for the quartering breeze which was ours. It was a fresh breeze, very fresh, but 1 resolved to run as long as I dared. Unfortunate ly, when running free, it is impos sible to lash the wheel, so I faced an all-night watch. Maud insisted on relieving me. but proved that she had not the strength to steer in a heavy sea. even if she could have gained the wisdom on such short no tice. She appeared quite heart broken over the discovery, but recov ered her spirits by coiling down tackles and halyards and all stray ropes. Then there were meals to be cooked in the galley, beds to make. Wolf Larsen to be attended upon, and she finished the day with a grand housecleaning attack upon the cabin and steerage. Ail night I steered, without relief, the wind slowly and steadily increas ing and the sea rising. At five in the morning Maud brought me hot coffee and biscuit she had baked, and at seven a substantial and piping j hot breakfast put new life into me. Throughout the day. and as slowly and steadily as ever, the wind in creased. It impressed one with its sullen determination to blow, and blow harder, and keep on blowing. And still the Ghost foamed along, racing off the miles till I was certain she was making at least eleven knots. It was too good to lose, but by night fall I was exhausted. Though in splendid physical trim, a thirty-six ! hour trick at the wheel was the limit ! of my endurance. Besides, Maud ! begged me to heave to. and I knew. if the wind and sea increased at the j same rate during the night that it j would soon be impossible to heave | to. So. as twilight deepened, gladly I and at the same time reluctantly, 1 ! brought the Ghost up on the wind. But I had not reckoned upon the ! colossal task the reefing of three ! sails meant for one man. While run | ning away from the wind I had not | appreciated its force, hut when we i ceased to run I learned to my sor \ row, and well-nigh to my despair, j how fiercely it was really blowing. I The wind balked my every effort, rip ping the canvas out of my hands, and I in an instant undoing what I had | gained by ten minutes of severest struggle. At eight o’clock ! had suc ceeded only in putting the second reef into the foresail. At eleven o'clock I was no farther along. Blood | dripped from every finger end, while : the nails were broken to the quick. | From pain and sheer exhaustion I wept in the darkness, secretly, so that Maud should not know. Then, in desperation, I abandoned the attempt to reef the mainsail and resolved to try the experiment of heaving to under the close-reefed foresail. Three hours more were re quired to gasket the mainsatl and Jib. and at two in the morning, nearly dead, the life almost buffeted and worked out of me. I had barely suffi cient consciousness to know the ex periment was a success. The close reefed foresail worked. The Ghost dung on close to the wind and be trayed no inclination to fall off broadside to the trough. I was famished, but Maud tried vainly to get me to eat. I dozed with my mouth full of food. I would fall asleep in the act of carrying food to my mouth and waken in torment to find the act yet uncompleted. So sleepily helpless yras I that she was i compelled to hold me in my chair to prevent my being flung to the floor by the violent pitching of the schooner. Of the passage from the galley to the cabin I knew nothing. It was a sleep-walker Maud guided and supported. In l’act, I wa3 aware of nothing till I awoke, how long after I could not im >gine, in my bunk with my boots off. It was dark. 1 was stiff and lame, and cried out with pain when the, bedclothes touched my poor finger-ends. Morning had evidently not come, ca I closed my eyes and went to sleep again. I did not know it, but I had slept the clock arouud and it «u night again. Once more I woke, troubled h* cause I could sleep no better. 3 struck a match and looked at my watch. It marked midnight. And 1 had not left the deck until three! I should have been puzzled had 1 not guessed the solution. No wonder 1 was sleeping brokenly. I had slept twenty-one hours. I listened for a while to the behavior of the Ghost to the pounding of the seas and the muffled roar of the wind on deck, and then turned over on my side and slept peacefully until morning. When i arose at seven 1 saw no sign of Maud and concluded she was In the galley preparing breakfast. On deck I found the Gho3t doing splen didly under her patch of canvas. Bait in the galley, though a tire was burn ing and water boiling. I found no Maud. i discovered her in the steerage, by Wqlf Larsen’s bunk. I looked at him, the man who had been hurled down from the topmost pitch of life to be buried alive and be worse than dead There seemed a relaxation of his ex pressionless face which was new Maud looked at me and I understood "His life flickered out in the storm,’ I said. “But he still lives," she answered, infinite faith in her voice. “He had too great strength.” “Yes,” she said, "but now it no longer shackles him. He is a free spirit." “He is a free spirit surely," I an swered, and, taking her hand, I led her on deck. The storm broke that night, which is to say that it diminished as slowly as it had arisen. After breakfast next morning, when I had hoisted Wolf Larsen's body on deck ready for burial, it was still blowing heavily and a large sea was running. The deck was continually awash with the sea which came inboard over the rail and through the scuppers. The wind smote the schooner with a sudden gust, and she heeled over till her lee rail was buried, the roar in her rig ging rising in pitch to a shriek. We stood in the water to our knees as I bared my head. “I remember only one part of the service." I said, "and that is. ’And the body shall be cast into the sea.’ ” Maud looked at me. surprised and shocked; but the spirit of something I had seen before was strong upon me, impelling me to give service to Wolf Larsen as Wolf Larsen had once given service to another man. 1 lifted the end of the hatch cover, and the canvas-shrouded body slipped feet first into the sea. The weight of iron dragged it down. It was gone. “Good-by, Lucifer, proud spirit,” Maud whispered, so low that it was drowned by the shouting of the wind; but I saw the movement of her lips and knew. as we clung to the lee rail and worked our way aft. I happened to glance to leeward. The Ghost, at the moment, was uptossed on a sea. and I caught a clear view of a small steamship two or three miles away, rolling and pitching, head on to the sea. as it steamed toward us. It was painted black, and from the talk of the hunters of their poaching exploits I recognized it as a United States revenue cutter. I pointed it out to Maud and hurriedly led her aft to the safety of the poop. I started to rush below to the flag locker. then remembered that in rig ging the Ghost I had forgotten to make provision for a flag-halvard. "We need no distress signal,” Maud said. "They have only to see us.” "We are saved,” I said, soberly and solemnly. And then, in an exuber ance of joy. "1 hardly know whether to be glad or not.” 1 looked at her. Our eyes were not loath to meet. We leaned toward each other, and before I knew it my arms were about her. “Need I?” I asked. And she answered, "There i3 no need, though the telling of it would be sweet, so sweet.” Her lips met the press of mine, and. by what strange trick of the imagination I know not. the scene in the cabin of the Ghost flashed upon me, when she lmd pressed her fingers lightly on my lips and said. "Hush, hush.” “My woman, my one small woman.” 1 said, my free hand petting her shoulder in the way all lovers know though never learn in school. “My man.” she said, looking down at me for an instant with tremulous lids which fluttered down and veiled her eyes as she snuggled her head against my breast with a happy little sigh. I looked toward the cutter. It was very close. A boat was being low ered. “One kiss, dear love.” I whispered. “One kiss more before they come.” “And rescue us from ourselves.” she completed, with a most adorable smile, whimsical as I had never seen it. for it was whimsical with love. THE END. MARBLES IN ANNUAL DEMAND j Each Spring, It Is Estimated, More Than 200.000,000 Are Used In the United States. It has been estimated by statisti cians that more than 200,000,000 small clay marbles are used by the boys of the United States every springtime. It is a known fact that 125,000,000 marbles are made every year by one clay marble manufactur er whose plant is in Summit county, Ohio. And these marbles are made or rolled by young girls, the Cleveland Plain Dealer states. The marble manufacturer does not devote all his attention to the manu facturing of the "game marble.” There are various uses to which the marble is put, and as a matter of fact, the size varies according to its intended use. The Standard Oil company is one of the largest buyers of marbles, and these are used for oil cans and larger sizes are started in graded pipelines to clean out the paraffin which gathers on the side of the pipe as it Cjws to the tanks. j Clay ma bles are used also by the manufacturer of rubber, ink and salt, chemical and powdermakers. They are used also in grinding the large stones of the lithographer and by rail way supply people. Puzzle box makers are also large buyers of mar bles. The sizes of the clay marbles as made in the United States vary from nine-sixteenths of an inch in diameter, which is the small “pill” the boys play with, to one measuring six inches in diameter, or about the size of a cannon ball. Dorothy’s Peril. One day, when Dorothy’s mother was reading to the little maid, she came to the word "gravitation.” She explained its meaning, but thought the child would forget it. Consequently she was much surprised when, a few days later, Dorothy came running in, crying: “Oh, mother! it’s such a good thing for me there’s a law of gravitation; if there wasn’t I'd have surely tumbled head over heels into Heaven just now!" TRAITS OF ANIMAL CREATION Even the hvost Famous Naturalists Have Been Unable to Explain Satisfactorily. _ I There are a great many strange facts about animals and insects that seem to defy explanation. Here are a few, an exchange says: r A fly will crawl to the top of a win dow pane, fly back to the bottom and crawl up again. Hardly ever does it fly up and crawl down. It has been known to repeat this former act over thirty times before stopping. Hens always scratch for food with the sun behind them. A blind hen al ways manages to get the sun behind her when scratching, and she will miss but few bits of food. Cats hardly ever lie with their feet to the fire. In most cases they lie In stead with their left side to it. Dogs invariably lie with outstretched paws to the fire. A mouse overlooks a perfectly safe food supply, sufficient for a meal or two, to enjoy the perilous pleasures of an unlimited atore. It will hide near the food and come out to nibble when hungry, for it is not true that a mouse will seek its hole at the first alarm. If a small snake is kept in captivity and fed and cared for, it will become tame, and after a few months crawl to its captor for food, when approached. This is true especially of the small and harmless varieties. The unerring ability of the homing pigeon to find its former abode is not due to a sense of location, but rather to a natural instinct, w’ ' -h cats and dogs have displayed when taken from their homes. Different Kinds of Trains. The boasted "Balkanzug” brings back holiday memories of all those different kinds of traind which the German language, after its habit, de scribes in one word. There were the Vergnuegungszug, the pleasure or ex cursion train; the Personenzug, corre sponding to our parliamentary train; the Schnellzug, or express train; and, . above all, that impressively named Blitzzug, the “lightning” train, which achieved the 105 Vi miles in three and one-half hours.—London Chronicle. f EXPENSE OF MAINTAINING MULE COLTS i---1 Excellent fjpecimen of Mule. An experiment for the purpose of ascertaining the cost of feeding mule colts—the first accurate test of the kind—began November 26, 1915*and ended April 4, covering a period of 130 days. The report of this experi ment was one of the interesting fea tures of the third annual roundup at Hays station of the Kansas agricul tural college. The total cost of maintaining 31 mule colts, including both feed and labor, was $252.96. or $8.16 per head. The average initial weight per animal was 545 pounds, while the average weight at the close of the test was 654 | pounds, a gain of 109 pounds. The | mule colts were purchased for the ex j periment at the time of weaning. Following is an itemized statement of cost of maintenance: 6,510 pounds of Sudan hay at $4 a ton, $13.02; 3,380 pounds of cane hay at $2.50 a ton, $4.22; 10,115 pounds of alfalfa hay at i $6 a ton, $30.34; 12,660 pounds of kafir tailings at $2 a ton, $12.66; 6,860 r -1 Head of Mule Colt. I i pounds of sorghum fodder at $1.50 a i ton. $5.16; 210 pounds of oats at 45 cents a bushel. $2.81; 10,664 pounds of corn and cob meal at 93 cents a hun I dredweight, $99.18; 1,000 pounds of oil ; meal at $1.81 a hundredweight. $18.10; 239 pounds of oil meal at $1.54 a hun dredweight, $3.68; 50 pounds of salt at 75 cents a hundredweight, 38 cents; al | falfa pasture, one and a half months at j 35 cents per head per month, $16.27; ! veterinary work, $8; 146 hours of I men's labor at 21 cents an hour. $30.66; j 150 hours of horse labor at 10 cents an hour, $15; 100 hours’ use of equipment at three and a half cents an hour, $3.50. SKIM MILK CALF IS GROWING IN FAVOR Equally as Growthy, Thrifty and Vigorous as Those Allowed to Run With Dams. ; It is now fairly well understood, says the Nebraska college of agricul ture. that calves properly raised on skim milk are equally as growthy. thrifty, and vigorous as those raised upon the whole milk or those allowed to run with their dams. In fact, the ■ skim milk calf will oftentimes show a ! more rugged framework than a calf I raised on whole milk. Except for the fat that has been ( removed, skim milk is identical in composition with whole milk. When whole milk is taken into the calf's body, the fat of the milk is used to produce heat to keep the calf warm and also to form body fat. This same function can be performed very much more cheaply by starchy grains such as corn, kafir corn and oats. The protein of milk, which is the constituent most concerned in muscu lar growth and the building up of the vital organs, is equally as abundant In 3kim milk as in whole milk. In Case of Influenza. When influenza or distemper breaks out among your horses it will save much loss of time to have them vac cinated with influenza antitoxin as soon as the first case appears. Two doses should be given about six days apart. Better consult your veter inarian. Neutralize Acidity. A reasonably large supply of or ganic matter cannot be maintained In a soil until soil acidity is neutralized by the application of the lime. Failure With Sheep. Management, dogs, stomach worms and poor fences are a few of the causes of failure with sheep. Prune Gooseberry Bush. Prune gooseberry bushes to keep the center of the bush open to free circulation of air. 76 SKIMPING FOOD OF COLT IS EXPENSIVE Feed and Care Young Animal Gets Determines Largely What It Will Be Later On. It is a poor policy to skimp the colt's feed, says J. S. Montgomery of the animal husbandry division of the Min nesota college of agriculture. The feed and care a colt gets the first year and a haif of its life determines large ly what it will he at maturity. Mr. Montgomery says. "If the mare is worked, keep the colt in a cool, dark stall during the day.” he suggests. "For the first few weeks after foaling, bring the mare to the barn and allow the colt to suckle. Do this in the middle of the forenoon and in the middle of the afternoon, as well as at morning, noon and night. "Encourage the colt to eat early, preferably feeding crushed oats and bran in equal parts. Let him have al falfa and clover hay as soon as he will oat it. Experience shows that a ra tion of corn and alfalfa gives better results than a ration of corn and tim othy or prairie hay." Mr. Montgomery says the best ra tion for the colt during the summer is good pasture grass. Maximum growth comes with a feeding of some grain with the pasture grass. Horses and colts in the pasture should be given ready access to fresh, cool, clean water and to salt. A colt stunted early never fully recovers, he says. A little attention to the feet of the colt will greatly repay by better feet and legs in the mature horse, Mr. Montgomery thinks. The heels should be trimmed, he says, for they soon be come high, narrow and rolled under, and the toes should not be allowed to grow abnormally long. FAVOR BLUE GRASS FOR FEEDING SWINE Not Generally Recognized That Plant May Be Utilized for Pork Production. (Bv F\ B. MUM FORD. Dean of Missouri College of Agriculture.) Blue grass has long been profitably used by the Missouri farmer for feed- 1 ing cattle. It has not been generally ! recognized that it may also be util- i ized for pork production. At the Mis- i souri experiment station during the ' five-year period from 1908 to 1912 the average amount of pork produced from j an acre of blue grass amounted to $2fi when the live weight value of hogs was calculated at eight cents per , pound. | In securing these returns from blue ! grass pasture it is necessary to recog- j nize two qualities which clearly dis- ! tinguish blue grass from alfalfa, clover and rape pasture. In the first place, a i much larger amount of grain must be ted to hogs on blue grass than to hogs j on rape, clover or alfalfa. Another dif ! ference lies in the fact that during the middle of the summer from about July 15 to August 30 blue grass is of little or no value for hog pasture. Dur ing this time clover, alfalfa or rape pasture should be provided. The grain fed to hogs on blue grass pasture should be well balanced—a grain mix ture of six parts of corn and one of linseed oil meal, or ten parts of corn and one part of tankage. A good rule to follow in determining the amount of grain to he fed is to feed just as much grain as will cause the animal to gain an average of three-fourths of a pound a day per 100 pounds live weight. Setting Strawberry Bed. Do not take strawberry plants from an old bed to set a new bed. unles3 you can easily pick out the varieties and the plants are young and vigorous. Eliminating Culls. It is easier to eliminate culls in the spring than in the fall, and it is cheap er to do it by careful and thorough * spraying than by hand picking. Disk Strawberry soli. Strawberry soil should be disked deeply to break up all the clods, and rolled to make the soil firm and com pact after the harrowing. Old and Safe Plan. The farmer who practices green manuring in soil building is following a plan that is as old as it is safe. Improvement in Soil. Drainage improves the physical con dition of the soil by making it more porous and friable. a The » Inexpressible ■ Joy BUB of being able to eat without any annoying distress mu - ha veits beginning in a strong active stomach.
