MVot vns cct you sny 'bout ills sheep?
Hot linf cholera hey?"
Dorothy took n step forward, nnil
confronted them, her checks flushed.
"You nro sailors," hIio mild, spouklng
swiftly, "nnd ought not to be ufruld If
a girl Isn't. It Is true this vessed was
ravaged hy cholera, nnd the crew died ;
but the bodies hnve been flung over
bonrd Cnptuln Cnrlylc risked his life
to do that before he asked us aboard.
Now there Is no danger so long as we
remain on deck. I have no fear."
Tho Swede shook his head, grum
bling something, but before the revolt
could spread Watklu3 hroke in.
"An' that's right, miss. I wus on tho
Bombay Castle when she took cholera,
an wo bed twenty-ono dnys of it
bcntln' agin head winds off tho Cape.
Wc lost sixteen o' the crew, but not n
man among us who stayed on deck got
nick. Anyhow, these blokes aro goln'
tcr try their luck aboard yore, ex else
awlm fcr It."
He grinned cheerfully, letting slip the
end of the painter, the released quarter-boat
gliding gently away nstern,
the width of wuter constantly Increas
ing. "Now, bullies, Jump for It If yer
want tcr go. All right then, my Hearties,
lofs hunt up something to work with
and scrub this deck. That's tho way
to dean out cholera."
IIo led tho way nnd they followed
him, grumbling and cursing, but obe
dient I added a word of encourage
ment, and In a few minutes the wholo
gang was busily engaged In cleaning
up tho mess forward, their first fears
evidently forgotten In action. Watklns
kept after them llko a slave driver.
It was not dlfllcult finding plcntly
for tho lads to do, making the neg
lected schooner shipshape, nnd adjust
ing tho spread of canvas nloft to tho
now courso I decided upon. Sam
started a flro In the galley nnd pre
pared a hot meal, singing ns he
worked, and before noon I had as
cheerful a ship's crew forward as any
man could possibly nsk for. Dorothy
and I glanced over tho log, but gained
Uttle Information. As the sun reached
tho meridian I ventured again Into tho
cabin and returned with the necessary
Instruments to determine our position.
With these and tho pricked chart, I
managed fairly well In determining
our location, nnd choosing tho most
direct courso toward the coast.
CHAPTER XXVIII.
A New Plan of Escape.
Nothing occurred during the after
1
noon to disturb the routine work
aboard or to cause me any uneasiness.
Sunset brought clouds, and by tho time
It was really dark the entire sky -was
overcast, but tho sea remained com
paratively calm and the wind steady,
t It was a pleasant night In spile of
the darkness, the nlr soft mid refresh
ing. The locker was filled with Hags,
'representing almost every nation on
earth. I dragged these out and spread
them on the deck abaft tho cabin, thus
forming n very comfortable bed, and
at last Induced tho girl to Ho down,
wrapping her In u blnnket. Finally I
found a scut beside her on a coll of
rope, and wo fell Into conversation.
This was tho first opportunity we
had enjoyed to actually talk with each
other alone.
"Dorothy," I said humbly, "you were
frightened last night I cannot hold
jrou to what you said to mo then."
"You mean you do not wish to? But
I was not frightened."
"And you still repent what you said
then? You said, 'I love you.'"
"Yea, I can repeat that I love you."
"Those ore dear, dear words; but I
ought not to listen to them, or believe.
I am not free to ask a pledge of you, or
to beg you to trust mo In marrlugo."
"Is not that rather for mo to de
cider she questioned archly. "I make
a confession now. You remember the
night I met you on deck, when you
were a prisoner, and told you that you
had become tho property of Roger
Fairfax? I loved you then, although
I scarcely acknowledged the truth even
to myself. We are all alike, wo Fair
faxes; we chooso for ourselves, and
laugh at the world. That Is my an
swer, Geoffry Cnrlyle; I glvo you love
for love."
"I would ask an opportunity dented
mo to stand once more In honor
among men. I would not bo ashamed
before Dorothy Fairfax."
"Nor need you be," she exclaimed
Impetuously, her hands pressing mine.
"Yoo wrong yourself, even ns you have
been wronged. You have already done
that which shall win you freedom, If
It bo properly presented to those In
power. I mean that It shall be, once
I am safely bnck In Virginia. Tell me,
what aro your plans with with this
schooner?"
"To beach It somewhere along shore,
nnd leave It there a wreck, while we
escape. The men Insist on It with good
reason. They hnve been pirates, and
might be hung If caught."
"And yet to my mind," sho Insisted
earnestly, "that choice is most dun
ksrotw am a girl, but If I command
wi iwre, do you know whnt I would do?
1 would sail this vessel straight to the
By RANDALL PARRISH

Chesapeake nnd surrender It to the
authorities. Tho men have nothing to
fear with mo aboard and rendy to testi
fy In their behalf. The governor will
nccept my word without n iiuestlon.
These men arc not pirates, but honest
seamen compelled to servo In order to
save their lives; they mutinied and
captured the bark, but were later over
come, and compelled to take the boats.
The snmo plea can he made for you,
(leoffry, only you were there In an ef
fort to save me. It Is a service which
ought to win you freedom. If the gov
ernor fall me, I will bear my story to
the feet of the king. I am a Fairfax,
and we hnve friends In Kngland, strong,
powerful friends."
"I um convinced," I admitted, nfter
u pause, "that this course Is the wiser
one, but fear the opposition of the
men. They will never go willingly."
"There Is an argument which will
overcome their fenr. I mean cupidity.
Kadi sailor aboard has an Interest In
tho salvage of this vessel under the
English law. Also there must be gold
aboard perhaps treasure also. Let
the crew dream that dream and you
will need no whip to drive them Into
an English port."
"Full pardon, nnd possibly wenlth
with It," I Iuughed. "A beautiful
scheme, Dorothy, yet It might work.
Still, If I know sntlormen, they would
doubt the truth, If It enme direct from
me, for I am not really one of them."
"Hut Watklns Is. Explain It all to
him; tell him who I am, the Influence
I can wield in the colony, nnd then let
him whisper the news to tho others.
Will you not do this for my sake?"
"Yes," I answered; "I believe you
have found tho right course. If you
will promise to He down and sleep I
will talk with Watklns now. I may
catch some catnaps before morning,
but most of the time shall be prowling
about deck. Good night, dear girl."
She extended her arms, and drew me
down until our lips met.
"You aro actually of raid of me still,"
she said. "Why should you be?"
"Somehow, Dorothy, you have al
ways seemed so fur uwny from me I
I Dared Not Let Go.
have never been able to forget. But
now tho touch of your lips has "
"Broken down the last barrier?"
"Yes, forever."
"Are you sure? Would you not feel
still less doubt if ' you kissed mo
again?"
I held her closely, gazing down Into
tho dimly revealed outline of her face,
uml this time felt myself tho innster.
I left her thero and groped my own
wny forward. I found Watklns awake.
IIo listened gravely to what I had to
say, with little comment, and was evi
dently weighing every argument In his
mind.
"1'vo bin In Virginia and Maryland,
sir," he snld at Inst seriously, "and If
tho young womnn Is a Fairfax, she'll
likely huve lntluence enough ter do
Just whut sho says. I'll talk It over
with the lads. If they wus only suro
thar wus treasuro aboard I guess most
of 'em would fuce hell ter nit their
hands ou a share of It."
"Then why not scorch and soo?"
IIo shook his head obstinately.
"Not me, sir! I don't prowl nround
In no cholera ship, loaded with dead
men not If I never glt rich."
"ThCn I will," and I got to my feet
In sudden determination. "You keep
the deck while I go below. Light the
lantern nnd bring It here. If thero
Is any specie hidden aboard this hook
er It will bo either In the cabin or
lazaret. And, whether thoro Is or not
my man, the Snnta Mnrlo turns north
tomorrow If I have to fight every sea
wolf on board single-handed."
CHAPTER XXIX.
A Struggle In the Dark.
IIo enme back with the lantern In his
hand, a mere tin box containing a can
dle, the dim fhtrn visible thrmiDh nu.
1 merous punctures. Neither of us spoke
HBB
mhmmtmm4nj
until my hand was on tho companies
door rendy to slide It open.
"I'll not be long below," I said Bober
ly. "Better go forward nnd see that
your lookout men ure awake, and then
como back here."
Tho port stateroom I hod not pre
viously entered because of n locked
door. I determined on breaking In
here. There was no key In the lock,
and the stout door resisted by efforts.
Placing the lantern on tho deck I suc
ceeded finally In Inserting the blnda
of a hatchet so as to gain n purchase
HUfllcIent to release the latch. As tho
door yielded a sharp cry assailed mo
from within. It camo forth so sud
denly nnd with so wild an accent I
stepped blindly backward In fright, my
foot overturning tho luntern, which,
with n single dicker of the candle, went
out. In that last gleam I saw n dim,
grotesque outline fronting me. Then,
In the darkness, glenmed two green,
menacing eyes, growing steadily larger,
nearer, ns I stared at them In horror.
Wns It man or beast? Devil from hell,
or some crazed human against whom
I must battle for life? Tho green eyes
glared Into my face. I lifted my hand
toward him, aud touched hair! My
antagonist was u giant African ape.
Even ns tho big ape's grip caught
me, ripping through Jacket sleeve to
the flesh, I realized my great peril, but
I was no longer parulyzed with
fenr, helpless before the unknown. I
drove my hntchct straight between
those two gleaming eyes. The bruto
stnggercd back, dragging mo with him.
Ills humanlike cry of pain ended In a
snarl, but, brief as the rcsplto proved.
It gave me grip on his under Jaw nnd
an opportunity to drive my weapon
twice more against the hairy face. The
pain served only to madden the beast,
and before I could wrench free he had
mo clutched in nn Iron grip, my Jacket
torn into shreds. Ills Jaws snapped at
my face, but I hud such purchase as
to prevent their touching me, nnd
mindless of the claws tearing at my
flesh I forced the animal's head back
until the neck cracked and the lips
gave vent to a wild scream of agony.
I dared not let go ; dared not relax for
nn Instant the exercise of every ounce
of strength. I felt as though the llfo
wus being squeezed out of me by the
grasp of those hairy arms; yet the
very vise In which I was held yielded
mo levernge. The hntchct dropped to
the deck nnd both my hnnds found
lodgment uuder the Jaw, the muscles
of my nrms strained to the utmost, ns
I forced buck thnt horrid head. Little
by llttlo It gave way, the suffering
bruto whining In agony, until, the pain
becoming unendurable, the clinging
arms suddenly released their hold let
ting me drop heavily to the deck.
Hy some good fortune I fell upon
tho discarded hntchct, nnd stumbled
to my feet once more, gripping the
wenpon again lu my fingers. I sprang
.straight toward him, sending tho sharp
blade of the hatchet crashing against
tho skull. The aim was good, the
stroke a death blow, yet the monster
got mo with one paw, and wo fell to
the deck together, ho savagely claw
ing me tn his death agony. Then the
hairy figure quivered und lay motion
less. 1 released the stiffening grip,
rising to my knees, only to immediate
ly pitch forward unconscious.
When I came back once more to life
I was upon tho schooner's deck breath
ing the fresh night air, Dorothy and
Watklns bending over me.
CHAPTER XXX.
Opening of the Treasure Chest.
Tho dawn came slowly, nnd with but
little Increase of light. The breeze had
almost entirely died away, leaving tho
canvus nloft motionless, the schooner
barely moving through a slightly heav
ing sea, In the midst of n dull-gray
mist. When Watklns emerged from
tho mist I proposed to him thnt we go
below and continue the search for
gold. Uu was not anxious to go und
Dorothy persuaded mo to let her go
with me. In the room where the apo
hud been hidden we found n big chest
und I set to work to open it.
It proved harder thnn I had be
lieved, tho staple of the lock clinging
to the hard teak wood of which tho
chest wns made. The lid wns heavy,
but ns I finally forced It backward a
bingo snapped nnd permitted It to
drop crashing to the deck. For nn In
stant I could sec nothing within,
"Lift up the Inntern, Dorothy,
please. No, higher thnn that. Whnt
In God's name? Why, it Is tho corps
of a woman 1"

Before washing, garments should be
run In gusnllne to remove grease or
oily matter of any kind, allowing them
to remain for five minutes. For wash

and n good neutral soap. Wash In this
suds for about fifteen minutes and
rlnso three times thoroughly.
After washing, the suits should he
carefully examined for remaining
stains, such ns grease, paint, varnish
and stains from automobile seats.
Stains of this nature should bo
scrubbed with a brush nnd a good
quality of soap. A few drops of car
bon tetrachloride should he dropped on
tho stain and worked Into the soap.
Fruit stains should be treated with
a warm perborate of sodium solution,
using one ounce of perborate to n
pint of warm water. The spot Is Im
mersed In this solution from five to
fifteen minutes. Ink stains should be
treated with a weak solution of muri
