CHAPTER XVI. Continued.
"Wo can make it easy in three days.
Mr. Stephens." broke in Anderson,
loudly, "ir we only have decon! wealh
or. we could rip up that old hooker,
copper the swag and be north-bound
in that time."
I never glanced toward him. my
eyes still on the mate.
"Rut the women. Ue Xova?"
He was looking at them. and. fol
lowing his eyes. I turned also. Celeste
was bending eagerly forward, her
dark eyes sparkling with excitement:
her mistress stood erect, grasping the
edge of the longboat, her face flushed
by the kn wind, her lips firmly
pressed together.
f sink zat maybe zey vote wiz ze
crow, monsieur." smiled the creole,
pleasantly.
I-ady Darlington reached one hand
out for the rail, her skirts flapping,
her hair blowing free beneath her hat.
"It will be best for us to go on. Mr.
Stephens." she said, quietly. "The
men will never ha satisfied otherwise;
and I do not blame them. Too much
has been risked already 10 turn buck
at the last moment because of a little
additional peril. Nor am I willing it
should be done merely to spare us a
few mere days of discomfort. We
must take our chances, and. as for my
self. I trust absolutely in your sea
manship." There was a growl of appreciation
from below. Anderson's voice shouting
up hoarsely: "You're the right stuff!"
but I stood there in silence, gazing at
her in astonishment, teeling deserted
by every one. and realizing that the en
tire responsibility was now mine. More
clearly than any among them I com
prehended the peril fronting us. the
desperate chance we were about to
take, the casting of dice with death.
Yet what was there left for me to do?
Absolutely nothing; the choice had
been made.
' "Is it understood I am in com
'mand?" "Ay, ay. sir!"
"Very well, then," I said, "you have
chosen your bed. now you will lie in
it. Mr. Do Nova, get the stokers be
low and start the fires. We'll push her
for It hard. You men stand by for a
double funeral in an hour; we have a
dead man fore and aft. Now step live
ly, my bullies!"
I watched them as thej' scattered
like so many schoolboys at play, An
derson and De Nova driving them to
their various tasks. A hand touched
my arm gently.
"I hope you are not angry. Mr. Ste
phens. Did I do so very wrong?"
I looked down into her gray eyes
filled with appeal, and felt my face
brighten.
"Frankly. 1 do not know." I replied,
honestly. "Of course. I could not hope
to oppose all the crew, but we are
taking a terrible chance. I appreciate
your courage. Lady Darlington, and
shall do my best to justify your con
fidence in my seamanship. But you
must go below, out of this wind. Per
mit me to assist you down the ladder."
CHAPTER XVII.
I In Which We Bury Our Dead.
Black smoke was already trailing
from out our funnel in ever inct easing
volume, the steadily revolving screw
was driving the yacht forward with
new power, and the only bit of can
vas showing was the ciose-reefed jib,
left as an aid to the wneelsmen.
I searched the atter-cahins thorough
ly for a copy of the Scriptures, or any
book containing the burial service.
One might possibly have been discov
ered hidden away in the locked chests,
but I did not feel authorized to break
these open on such quest, and so re
turned to the deck with nothing to
guide me In the services to be con
ducted. The boatswain, assisted by
two seamen, had prepared the bodies
for their last long voyage, and while j
the crew gathered in a body on the
cnow-covered deck, the dead, shrouded

Prayer.
beneath white sheets, were silently
borne forth from cabin and forecastle
antl placed reverently upon planks
balanced across the rail.
I should greatly have preferred
Lady Darlington to remain below dur
ing the ceremonies. There is much de
pression about such burial scenes at
sea, especially so in our circumstances
and surroundings. But she insisted
upon being present, and so at the last
moment I returned to the cabin and
escorted both her and Celeste to the
deck. It was a dismal, melancholy
scene, and I did not wonder at the
slight shiver with which her ladyship
glanced about. The swiftly descending
snow, the whitened decks, trampled
beneath the feet of the men. the bare
spars overhead; the low-flying, dun
colored clouds; the gray, tumbling
waters: the low growl of the Ice as
the waves haltered Its front; the si
lent semicircle of men standing mo
tionless except for their shuffling feet;
and those two white-draped figures ly
ing extended across the rail all com
bined to form a grim sea-picture the
memory of which can never dissolve.
Protected somewhat from the sharp
wind by the cabin the men had flung
aside their mufflers, so that their
weather-beaten faces, most of them
heavily bearded, were plainly revealed.
I could not but be impressed with the
motley crowd, as the lineaments of
negro. Kanaka, and every variety of
white degenerate were thus exposed.
Their uneasy, shuffling feet, and the
impatience depicted on their faces,
aroused me to the requirements of the
moment. I advanced to the rail, stand
ing beside the corpse of the mate.
"Lads," I said, soberly, "when we
bury shipmates at sea there 13 a
solemnity about the simple ceremon
unknown to the land. Far away from
friends and home we give the body up
to the great ocean to keep for eterfti
ly. Yet we are sailors, long accus
tomed to the vicissitudes and perils ol
the deep: we have parted with ship
mates before in many seas, and not a
few among you look forward to the
time when comrades will be called
upon to perform a similar service ol
respect over your bodies. Even now
we sail forward into great danger,
and none among us can prophesy what
:be morrow may bring of either life
or death. Yet the sea is the sailor's
sepulcher. the roar of the great waves
his requiem. I am no sea preacher,
able to address you upon the here
after, or fitted to eulogize the spirits
of those whose bodies we are about to
bury. You desire nothing of the kind.
Neither can I read over these forms
the usual burial service, for I can find
no book containing it on board. Is
there any one among you, mates, who
will voice a prayer before we drop
these bodies overboard?"
I looked along the semi-circle of
faces, expecting nothing from the
members of the crew, yet faintly hope
ful that some one or two might be led
to respond. No one stirred, however,
the only sound on board the wind
whistling through the rigging and the
heavy breathing of the men.
"Well, then." I added, regretfully,
"nothing remains but to commit their
bodies to the deep, and may God have
mercy on their souls!"
I lifted my hand in signal, but even
as I did so Lady Darlington spoke, the
men who were about to tilt the planks
pausing in wonderment.
"Wait, Mr. Stephens; not without
one word of prayer. Let me speak it, if
no one else wilL
She came forward, throwing back
her veil, and grasping my sleeve to

deck. For an instant there was an
impressive silence; then her voice
arose, low, yet distinct, trembling to
the accent of reverent prayer. I know
not what she said; merely the simple
breathing upward of a petition to the
Almighty Father for pardon and guid
ance; yet never before did faith lay
such mighty hold upon me. It was
short, only a few faltering sentences,
but the honesty of it, the faith so
clearly evidenced In both words and
face, impressed the roughest there.
She paused, her head still lowered; I
heard some one say "Amen" solemnly,
and raised my hand in signal. Noise
lessly the ends of the planks were up
tilted, and the two sneeted figures slid
downward into the gray water. In
stantly they disappeared beneath the
unfathomable depths. So silently and
expeditiously was this accomplished
that she even failed to note the action,
lifting her eyes wonderlingly to the
bare planks, and with a choking sob
burying her face in her hands. With
out venturing a word I led her gently
to the companion. Five minutes later
I stood again upon the bridge, the
deck beneath throbbing to the pulse
of the released engine, as the Sea
Queen raced recklessly forward
through the ice-girded waters in des
perate effort to attain her goal.
It was not a dark night, for the start
were out such cold, dead stars thcx
seemed and a little later I knew tho
moon would come stealing up above
the waste of waters, yet there was a
haze hovering all about us, as though
the entire surrounding atmosphere was
thick with frosL I crouched down
behind the slight protection of this
tarpaulins, sweeping the horizon with
my glasses, but discovering nothing
to awaken alarm. I saw nothing of
the watch, except as I called for them.
Then they came, clawing their way
out of the snug holes where they hid
from wind and water. However, there
was little enough for any of us to do;
we could simply hold on, trusting in
the strength of the keel under us, and
sheering to eastward of the ice-pack.
It was a wild, mad night, the wind
freezing to the marrow, and every
wave dashing Its icy spray hurtling
against the front of the wheelhouse.
At eight bells I went below again,
every muscle of my body aching, and
my face tingling as though pierced by

satisfaction of work well done. It Is
his habit to study a situation until the

a thousand needles. I sat down before
the red-hot stove in the cabin, think
ing I should never get the cold thawed
out of me. Yet inside of ten minutes,
with head resting on the chair-back,
and legs extended to keep my balance,
I was sound asleep.
Whether a sudden leap of the ves
sel or some unusual noise aroused me
LI cannot say. Dazed, confused, I sat
upright, staring about me, for the mo
ment scarcely realizing where I was.
I could hear the fierce pounding of the
sea without, the shrieking of wind
through the cordage, and the rattle
and groaning of the woodwork as the
struggling vessel dived into the hol
lows and fought her way back to the
crests. A shower of hail lashed the
windows, rattling like shot against the
shutters. As I glanced backward
across my shoulder, I heard, above
all that hellish uproar, a hollow,
unearthly groan. I was upon my feet
in an instant, grasping at the edge of
the table, striving vainly to place the
sound. For some cause I could not
keep my eyes off Tuttle's door, every
nerve pulsing with agony. Was it
imagination, illusion? Cy all the gods,
I beheld a white visionary form glide
noiselessly forth and disappear as
though dissolved in mist. It was cer
tainly there, yet, in another instant,
had vanished, I knew not how. I
stared about into the dim corners, then
leaped toward the door, seeking to
open it. It was locked; of course it
was, for the Ley was in my own
pocket.
Many times I have known fear, but
not such fear as this which now smote
me. Here was something intangible,
something I could not reach and throt
tle, a dim, frightful shade, coming
from God alone knew whence. I
pressed my hands to my head, and en
deavored to laugh, to woo 'back my
courage. Great heavens, was I also
losing my mind? Was I to be haunted
and pursued by evil fancies? Had the
curse of this ship now descended upon
me? I staggered to my feet, holding
on desperately to the table, seized the
decanter from off the swinging shelf
and drank deeply. Lord, what grim
fancies a man may have when the
physical organism is unstrung! I
glanced at my watch, discovering I
still had two hours below, and crossed
over to my stateroom, nerving myself
to play the man, yet glancing about
fearfully into the dancing shadows. I
laughed as I closed the door, but shot
the bolt hard, and lay there for an
hour listening, every nerve a-tingle,
before fatigue finally closed my eyes.
CHAPTER XVIII.
In Which We Lay the Ghost.
The coming of night found our situ
ation less promising a thick veil of
clouds obscuring all gleam of stars,
the wind veering more to the west
ward and growing bitterly cold. The
barometer was falling slowly, pres
aging the approach of storm; yet
nothing openly threatened with the
exception of these thickening cloud
masses scudding up from out the
southwest, their wildness reflected in
the darkening sea, and the continuous
thunder of waves along the ice-front
blocking our passage. I visited the
engine and boiler rooms, ordered half
speed and prompt attention to signals, j
took one last searching glance about J
the dimming horizon, and finally
threw myself, without undressing, on
my bunk for a brief rest below.
As I lay there, thinking of that wild
scene without. I discovered sleep im
possible. Was I doing right thus tc
hold on for further southing? My
conscience was not altogether clear,
for I realized that It would be luck
rather than seamanship that would
take us through and bring us safely
out again. Only some mystery ol
Providence had thus far given ua
passage, had held the wind to anoth
er point of the compass, beating bach
the invading Hoes and yielding to us
an open sea. But would such fortune ;
last a day, two days, more? We i
could race northward with the ice, but I
what about that vast field stretching
to the northwest? If by some shift ol
wind it were to close in. the helpless
Sea Queen would be crushed like an
eggshell. And Lady Darlington had
said she trusted me implicitly. Was 1
showing myself worthy by thus push
ing the yacht deeper into danger?

NOLitSEE robes nnd sacks may
be made up at all times and
seasons and although the styles
for these necessary garments
change but little, thre are new
touches to be seen on the newest mod
els. A lo'inging robe Is a very comforta
ble thing to have and it is just as easy
nnd at the same time just as inexpen
sive to make it pretty and dainty as
unattmctive. Unfortunately many
women, recognizing the need of com
fortable summer negligcss. fail to rec
ognize also the possibility of being
charming in such attire.
These ungainly kimonos made of
brightly colored silks are anything but
becoming, and they really make a
woman look frightful. Delicate or dull
colors should always bit chosen, for
these are not only much more becom
ing, but arc far more dainty.
It is far better, too, for a woman to
PINE EFFECT IN DECORATION
Empire Style Employed for One of
the Prettiest Adornments Seen
for Some Timftc
Although empire decorations are not
inlte so fashionable as in the past,
thero are still some pretty things
made in that style which merit the
?aor given to all that is beautiful and
tlegant. Attention Is drawn to the
iecoration of a toilet table, which, by
tho exactitude of details scmpulously
,'ollowed, would be worthy of figuring
at any French palace.
The central piece constitutes in
itself a ronl work of art. It Is a
Psyche" in miniature, whose little
'.owers of pearl, incrusted with green
?old, suprort a mirror framed with
:he same metal and delicately deco
rated with wreaths of laurels.
Candlesticks with two branches, of
the purest empire style, admirably fin
ished, are placed on either side on a
set or squ.tre boxes. There appear
again pearl decorations beneath gold
irellises, crossed over with laurel gar
lands of different tones.
Faicy Net Turbans.
The flowered turban has given way
to a large one made of coarse fancy
net. The fame kind Is used that we
have had for gown drapery during the
Winter. Billlant colors are seen,
such as purple, the new vlTld dark
blue, black, white with a black spot,
and Chanteclcr red.
The turbans are an artistic mass of
this net twisted into puffs and loops
and ends. The latter are wired in or
der to keep their shape and give the
turban chaiacter.
Tall Hat Flowers.
Hollyhocks "are In." Parts shows
whole hedges of these stiff flowers on
her model ftats. and many other tall,
spikelike bTossoms are in evidence.
When the stem Is not stiff enough to
hold them in place, on end. as It were,

Fashion's Change Is Complete

Great Many.
and
As a departure from the bat that
seems to have aimed at an eclipse of
the hair and face, there ccmes the
shape with the upturned brim. To tho
keen observer this is a natural change,
for fashion has a capricious way with
her, veering around to extremes in her
delightful way.
There is the hat turned up at the
back.showh the hair and tilt'ng over
the brow in a protecting manner.
Rather trying is this style, requiring
features thr.t can be overshadowed by
the front bifm.
Some nev; shapes are turned up at
the side, an-1 It must be confessed that
this line Is generally becoming. The
question fc ycu to decide is which
side is the better and ths arraige
ment of tb-? hair and your profile are
the points to claim your attention.
The end Is not yet. A brim may be
turaed straight up at the front with
Napoleonic severity. Not every worn-
hare a number of inexpensive bnt
pretty summer negligees than to have
one elaborate robe which will be
soiled and untidy after a little general
wear. In the best shops are a plenti
ful supply of the fresh but inexpensive
negligee prettiness to be drawn upon.
Dimity, dotted and cross-bar. and
batiste make lovely breakfast jackets,
kimonos, etc. This material is Inex
pensive and launders beautifully. An
other material which is very practical
is china silk, for it wears longer than
any other silk and will also stand
much washing.
A loose robe of any description Is at
its best in soft supple material, crepe,
china silk, satin, challie or fine cash
mere rather than the crepe wash ma
terials. We picture an extremely dainty af
fair, made up of pure white china silk
and trimmed with lace insertion and
edging.
FOR SMALL GIRL
Chocolate brown face cloth would
make up well in this stylo. The skirt
is arranged in flat Inverted plaits,
stitched down half-way. while the bod
ice is cut with straps of material taken
over the shoulders and lightly braid
ed; the openings between the straps
are filled up with piece lace. Turn
back cuffs braided at the edges, are
set to the loose sleeves at the wrist.
Materials required: Four and one
half yards cloth 48 inches wide, one
dozen yards braid, one-fourth yard
lace.
Crepe Waists.
The more elaborate crepe waists
are embroidered at the front and have
inserts of Irish lace. They are quite
expensive, which, of course. Is a pro
tection to women who can afford to
have things a little different from
their neighbors.
an can wear this shape, but to the for
tunate one there Is a great joy In store.
With a military suit, this is the best
model for an ail-conquering success.
The main point is to twist and turn
the brim until the Droner line for van
! be attained. The bat must be dissocia
ted from the case or window and con
sidered in its relationship to the wear
er. When you select the upturned brim,
insist upon looking in the very neces
sary mirror.
For a Black Hat.
When deciding on the trimming for
that black velvet hat hearken to that
little voice from Paris.
The very latest idea is to trim the
shape, which, by the way. is turned up
at the back with a huge bow of cream
colored silk.
This white silk is brocaded or em
broidered with old gold and rose silk,
and as a last touch a narrow band of
fur is placed on each edge.

Does knmaB health depend ea one
organ aloae? This question Is becom
ing widely discussed since L. T'. Coop
er first advanced his theory that the
stomach Is the true seat of life and all
health dependent upon it.
Mr. Cooper, who has met with re
markable success In the sale of his
new medicine, believes that the stom
ach Is responsible for most sickness,
and that this organ Is weak In the
present generation. While discussing
this theory recently, he said: "I am
asked time and again to tell why my
medicine has made such a record
wherever I have Introduced It. My an
swer always is, 'because it restores the
stomach to a normal condition.' Nc
one will deny that today there are
more half-sick men and women thac
ever before. Nothing critical seems
to be the matter with them. .Thej
are just half-sick most of the time.
They don't know really what Is tha
matter with them. I have talked with
thousands during the past two years,
and few knew indeed what their trou
ble was. One said nervousness, another
said kidney trouble, another liver com
plaint, some constipation, or heart
trouble, or lung trouble. Many had
treated, as they called it. for most of
these diseases at different times. A
very common complaint Is 'all run
down,' or 'tired all the time or 'no
appetite.
"I know positively that every bit of
this chronic ill health is caused by
stomach trouble and nothing else.
My New Discovery pats the stomach
In sound condition In about six weeks.
Mighty few people can be sick with a
sound digestion. That is why my medi
cine is selling at sjich a tremendous
rate. I have- convinced many thou
sands of people that these things are
so, and the number Is growing by
leaps and bounds."
Among more recent converts to Mr.
Cooper's beliefs is Mrs. Lottie L.
Miner, living on Rural Route No. 2,
Henniker, N. II., who says: "I was in
poor health for six years, from stom
ach trouble and indigestion. Quite
frequently my stomach was so weak
that it would not retain solid food. I
had vomiting spells every morning, and
was subject to frequent attacks of diz
ziness. Life became such a burden
that I often felt it was not worth the
living. I tried everything I could hear
of, but found nothing that would af
ford relief.
"For some time I had been reading
of the Cooper remedies, and finally de
cided to give the New Discovery
preparation a triaL After taking the
first bottle. I noticed a marked im
provement. Five bottles made me en
tirely well. 1 can eat anything I wish,
and have not been troubled with my
stomach since. The dizzy spells dis
appeared long ago.
"My mother, Mrs. Susan Parkins,
Is a nurse of long experience. Both she
and my father have used the Cooper
remedies with splendid results. I will
be glad to answer any personal corre
spondence in regard to my ease."
Cooper's New Discovery Is sold by
all druggists. If your druggist oannot
