The Cabin of the Namur.
Both huge, black hands grasped tho
spokes, and It was evident that It re
quired nil his giant strength to con
trol the bucking wheel. lie was un
ugly-looking brute, tho lower portion
of his fuco apelike and the wool grow
ing so low as to lcavo him ecarcoly

an Instant from tho binnacle card to
glnnco nt mo curiously. They exhib
ited no flash of recognition.
For half an hour Estnda hung about
nft, apparently paying no attention to
me, and yet watching my movements
closely. Thcro was little to bo done,
but I thought It best to keep tho watch
reasonably busy, so they might thus
learn tliut I know my woik. They
proved prompt nnd cnpablo enough,
ulthough I was eyed with somo curi
osity when I first went forward, nnd,
no doubt, was very thoroughly dis
cussed behind my back. Tho Idlers
amidships wero a totally different
class a mongrel scum, profunely
chatting In Spanish or swaggering
about tho deck, their very looks u
'challenge, llowevcr, they kept out
:of my way, and I found uo occasion
to Interfere with their diversions.
'After Estnda left tho deck the ma
jority amused themselves gambling,

Instructions from tho Portuguese on
bis going below was to call him at

ly bo was satisfied of my ability to
command the deck.
No occasion to call him arose dur
ing my watch. It was still daylight,
but with a purplo gleam across tho
waters, when LeVere arrived on dock
for my relief. We were talking to
gether abaft tho wheel when Kstada
appeared in the companlonway.
"Every promise of a clear night," he
aid, glancing about at the horizon.
"Better change the course two points,
LeVere; we are lying In too close to
the coast for our purpose. The table

X washed tip hastily In my state

perplexed as to what might occar

whatever the result there was bo

held a more disagreeable face, or oae
which so thoroughly revealed the na
ture of a man. As I touched his hand,
at Eatada's brief Introduction, it was
as If I fingered a snake.
"This Is your choir, Gates, and yon
will find we live well aboard the Na-
saur wine, women and song hey,
Manuel I Why not, when all are at

what my orders were. Then bid her

rA.cvca.ufOKcqr'- -mf -- .- sz
Wo stood In silence, as Gunsnulca
crossed tho deck nnd Inserted n key
In tho after stateroom door. Manuel
was grinning In full enjoyment, but
tho expression on the faco of Estadn
was thnt of grim cruelty. I felt my
hands grip like Iron on my chair back
nnd my teeth clinch In restraint. God,
but I would have liked to grip tho fel
low whero ho stood all tho bottled
up hatred In my soul struggling for
action. Yet thnt would only mean the
death of all hope, and I turned my
eyes away from him nnd stared with
the others nt the opening door.
Out into the full light of tho cabin
the woman came and halted barely a
step In advanco of the stowurd, her
head uplifted proudly, her eyes on us.
Never beforo had I realized her beau
ty, her personality, as I did then. Her
posture was not that of defiance nor
of surrender; sho stood as a woman
defending her right to respect, sus
tained by a wonderful courage. I
caught her glance, but there was no
recognition In It; not by the flicker
of an eyelid did she betray surprise,
and yet In somo mysterious manner a
flash of Intelligence passed between
us. It was all Instantaneous, for her
gaze seemed to concentrate on Estada
as though she knew htm as lender.
"You sent for moT For what?" she
asked, her Spanish clear and well
chosen.
"To join us at meal," ho answered
unmoved. "It Is better than to remain
alone."
"Better I You must, have a strange
opinion of mo to bellevo I would sit
with murderers nnd thieves."
"Harsh words, scnorlta," and Estada
grinned grimly. "Yet I expected them.
Thcro aro many trades In tho world
by which men aro robbed. We only
work at tho ono we llko best; nor will
I discuss thnt with you. However,
scnorlta, I can sny that wo have taken
no lives In this Inst affair."
"No lives 1" In sudden, Incredulous
surprise. "You mean my undo lives?"
"If you refer to Fairfax tho ono In
whoso room the chest was hidden, I
can otfly reply truthfully that ho lives.
"Peace or War?"
Ono of my men struck him down, but
It was not n death blow. If that bo
the reason of your disdain there js no
cause. This chulr Is held for you."
"But why was I .brought away a
prisoner? To bo a plaything? A sport
for your pleasuro?"
"That was but the orders of our
chief; wo await his recovery to learn
his purpose."
"Sanchez 1 Was ho your chief? A
pirate?"
"A buccaneer; we prey on tho ene
mies of Spain. It was at Captain San
chez' orders we waited the arrival of
your vessel from England. He loved
you; he would ne doubt have dealt
with yon honorably; I have reason to
believe that to be his purpose now.
Nothing will change his purpose. He
Is that kind, and he has the power.
He determined that If you would not
come to him by choice you should be
made to by force. Yon are here now
by his orders and will remain aatll

remains for yea to decide Is whether

"And If be ehoald dler
Kstala shrvgged Bis ehoaldtra la
differently. "Who kaows?"
Her lips tightened as though to hold
back a cry while one hand pressed to
the open door steadied her. There
was a look In the searching ayes I did
not like to see. It was a asomeat be
fore she could control her voice.
"I have heard them call you Estada.

Gates, ono of your own countrymen,
nnd Manuel Estevnn. And now that
I havo answered your questions, what
Is It to bo between us peace or war?"
Her eyes dropped, and I could dis
tinctly note the trembling of her slen
der figure. When she slowly raised
her glance onco inoro It rested on my
face as though seeking approval, guid
ance. "If there be only tho one choice,"
sho said quietly. "I accept peace. I
cannot live locked In that room alone,
haunted by my thoughts and memo
ries. If I pledge you my word, senor,
nm I to nJoy the freedom of this
cabin and the deck?"
Estadn looked at us, a shade of
doubt In his eyes. I mads no sign, but
Manuel nodded.
"Why not?" he naked In his harsh
cronk of a voice. "So long as we be
at sen? What harm can the girl do?"
"Perhaps none; I will take a half
chunce, at least. You shall havo the
freedom of the cabin. So long as you
keep your word, while ns to tho docVc,
wo will consider that later. Prove you
menu what you say by Joining us
here."
My recollection of thnt meal Is not
of words but, of faces. Estada's eye?
sought constantly the girl's face, nnd
to my consternation exhibited an In
terest In her personality which prom
lFCd trouble. I know n.t whether she
noticed this awakening admiration,
but she certainly played her part with
quiet modesty. I believe that even
the Portuguese reached the conclusion
that she was not altogether regretful
for this adventure and that It was afe
for him to relax some degree of vigi
lance. His manner became moro gra
cious and long before the meal ended
hit language had a tendency to com
pliment and flatter. I contented ray
self with occasional sentences. The
young woman sat directly across from
me, our words overheard by all, and
as I knew both men possessed some
slight knowledge of English I dare not
venture beyond commonplace conver
sation In that tongue. With quick wit
sho took her cue from me, so that
nothing passed between us, either by
word of mouth or glance of eye, to
arouse suspicions.
Believing the feollng of confidence
would be Increased by such action, I
was first to leavo the table, and It be
ing my watch below Immediately re
tired to my room, noisily closing the
door after me, yet refraining from let
ting tho latch catch, thus enjoying a
slight opening through which to both
see and hear. Manuel did not linger
long, making some excuse to go for
ward, but Estada remained for some
time, endeavoring to entertain. His
egotism mado a fool of tho man, yet
oven he finally becamo discouraged of
making her comprehend bis meaning,
nnd lapsed Into a silence which guvo
her an excuso to retire. This was ac
complished bo graciously as to leave
no sting.ythe fellow actually accom
panying her to the door of her state
room, bowing Ida compliments as she
disappeared within. Tho fool actu
ally believed ho had mado a conquest
and preened himself llko a turkey
cock.
"Gunsnulcs, you need not lock the
scnorlta In her room or guard her In
any way hereafter. Sho Is permitted
to corao and go ns sho pleases aboard."
Estnda entered his own stateroom,
leaving, the door njar. When ho enmo
out ho hnd exchanged his coat for a
rough jacket. Thus attired for a turn
on deck, ho disappeared through tho
companion.
CHAPTER XVI.
In Dorothy's Stateroom.
I stood crouched, with eye nt the
crack watchful of every movement In
tho lighted cabin, my own decision
made. I must sco and tnlk with Dor
othy. Gunsaulcs turned down the light
nnd departed nlong the passage lend
ing amidships. A moment later I
heard the sound of dishes grinding to
gether preparatory to .being washed.
No better opportunity for action was
likely to occur, although the situation
was not without peril. I crept along
closo to the side walls, lifted tho latch
noiselessly, and slipped quickly within.
There was no light, except a glimmer
of stars through a large after port,
but against this faint radiance sho
stood vaguely revealed. Her first
thought must have been Estada, for
thcro was a startled note In' her chal
lenge. "Who nro you? Why do you come
here?"
"Speak low," I cautioned. "You
must know my voice."
"Geofrry Carlyle I"
"Yes, but do not use that name all
hope depends on my remaining un
known. You welcome me?"
She came straight forward through
the dim star shine, a spectral figure,
with both hands outstretched.
"Welcome I" her tone that of Intense
sincerity. "Your presence gives me
all the strength I have. But for yoi
I should throw myself through that
port Into the sea. Bat I know not
how yoo came here tell me, yoa are
aot one of these wretches?'
"No; yoa mast believe that tret el

"I do bat but tell me all yoa caa."

To Remove
Ink can ho taken from white goods
with tomatoes If applied freely. Cold
' milk Is good when the stains are f resli,
changing the milk as often as neces
sary. Fresh butter Is even a better
solvent.
If very obstinate and the material
will stand hot water, the stain should
be covered with melted tallow, tht'ti
washed In tho umul way.
Oxalic acid will remove any very
obstinate stains, but can be used only
on white goods, ns It will destroy the
color. Tho crystals nre dissolved In
boiling water and the liquid Is applied
to the stain. A thorough rlnalug In
clear water afterward Is Imperative.
Another Method.
In dyeing and cleaning shops ether
Is used almost exclusively for remov
ing Ink from fabrics. It Is a power
ful cleansing agent, but will destroy
materials unless they are well rinsed.
Ether will remove perspiration stains,
but should be mixed with nmmontn
and water. One-fourth ether, one
fourth ammonia and one-half water Is
a good mixture. Rinse and place In
the sun. '
A bottle of cologne Is a most use
ful article, for It will take "away
smoars If rubbed on as soon as they
appear. It can be used alike on white
or colored fabrics, cotton or woolen,
without the slightest injury.
Ice cream makes a very bad stnln
because it has both grease and sugar
In Its make-up. To remove stains of
It from silk, spongo the stained parts
with gasoline or chloroform, placing a
pad of absorbent cotton or blotting
paper under the spots. When dry,

garden frocks.

In favor. Wide plain ribbons are In de

POTATO YIELD
Western Canada Man Raised 600
Bushels on Two Acres.
He Thinks He Did Pretty Well, but
There Were Even Larger Crops
In the NeighborhoodLive
Stock Men Prosper.
As a by-product tho yield of potatoes
on the farm of Ben Pawson of Coal
dale, Alberta, was somewhat of a pay
ing proposition. Coaldnle Is in the
Medicine Hat district of Alberta. Med
icine Hat Is a placo, pictured In the
mind of many Americans, where the
weather man holds high carnival, and
when he wants to put a little life or
spirit Into tho people just moves the
mercury down a few notches. The
rascal has thus given Medicine Hat a
rather unenviable placo on the map.
But it Isn't half as bad as It Is pic
tured. Anyway, Ben Pawson likes It.
Last year he grew six hundred bush
els of potatoes on two acres of land
that had no special preparation, and
only the usual precipitation, or rain,
as the less cultured would call It
When he couldn't work at his hay or
grain, because of the damp mornings,
he gave them some attention. And
then evenings between supper and
chores and bedtime he gnvo them some
work. Anyway his yield was six hun
dred bushels, and he sold the whole
lot for $285. Ben Is satisfied. Still
there were larger yields than this lr
the neighborhood.
If one might speak of hogs In the
same breath In which yon speak of po
tatoes, there Is nothing In tho ethics
pf literature that would create a de
barment Taking advantage of this
license It will not be out of place to
state that large potato yields are not
the only feature of Interest In this
new nnd Interesting country. Amongst
others hogs nre having a good deal of
attention. Not long ago, hogs reached
the $23.00 mark on the Calgary market.
It doesn't cost much 'to raise a hog
and very little to bring hlra to a weight
of 200 rounds. Don't cost much I Cer
tainly not. But what about tho man who
recently paid $350 for a Duroc Jersey
Boar? That was all right. Thatmf '
