"He needs handling," Gait said, 'and exercise, but he's beauty Isn't he, Dr. Matson?" "I've never seen a finer." Matson aid. "I find I am quite unable to resist riding him. You won't object if I ride your prize, will you, Withe or you, Lark?" The big Negro slaves, squatting on their powerful haunches, watched Gait and Lark dumbly. They watched as Old Dog might have, re-motely, incuriously, yet with an un-canny look of knowing. Far off up the island beach the horse and rider were coming back, a blur of rich red - brown, a dashing splash of green. . . . "I doubt you realize," Gait said quietly, "how needful it is to Mat-so- n to get his hands on North, or to have a hold on North, through you, through anything. Ginko told me Matson questioned every gipsy man. last night, as soon as his suspicions were up that a Cargoe Riske man was among them. "You see, the Cargoe Riske is right up and coming. Cleaned out a shipwrecking lot In the Keys, last spring. I heard the talk, but it didn't the c.stle. Lark walked beside his light-steppin- g figure, uneasy and wary as to what this favor Matson had asked of her might portend. Gait followed silently, absorbed in thought. Trailing the procession came the two black slaves, leading the horse, Red Raskall, who was skittish and nervous after his week of captivity on the island. Behind the group at a little distance came the four sailors. Lark hung back, trying to walk beside Gait, but Matson put his hand beneath her elbow and forced her with gentle but inexorable firmness to keep step with his quickening strides. "Where's Gait?" Lark pulled her hand from his arm and glanced back. "I don't see him. What's become of him?" "Perhaps he's dropped back to converse with the sailors," Matson said easily. Lark called, "Gait! Gait!" as loudly as she could, but there wasn't any answer. One of the sailors laughed then, and Matson reproved him sharply. "He'll catch up with us presently, I daresay," Matson said, adding sug-gestively, "Possibly he was embar-rassed to answer your call. There's no need for worry. This path is plainly marked." He placed his hand under her el-bow once more and started forward. Her pulling back did no least bit of good. To avoid the ignominy of be-ing dragged, she straightened proud-- CHAPTER XII Lark slept heavily on her hard little bunk bed in the loft cubby waking painfully to the conscious-ness of an irritating, soft, insistent knocking at her door. At first she thought it was Cony, scratching at her door as he often had In the past miserable week. Then she remem- - bered and sat up, calling cautious-- 1 ly, "What is it?" "It's me Gait." She stumbled from the bunk, picked up the India silk dress, where she had laid It out In careful folds before she'd gone to sleep, slipped It on, its cool soft contours falling gracefully into place. It was a beau-tiful dress, perhaps the most beau-tiful dress she had ever had on. ... She washed her face, combed her hair hurriedly, and unlocked the door. Gait came in quickly, stepped wmuuw, a square wnite glare of noonday sun. He looked down into the back court and then turned to Lark. "Horse or no horse, I'd feel a heap better if" He stopped, shook his head. A thump of big bare feet iounded on the stairs. One of the laves appeared in the doorway, his great shoulders filling the space, his somber d eyes accusing Gait. "We're coming down," Gait said, pointing down the steps. "I wak-ened the lady. Is your master ready?" Whether or not the man under-stood wasn't clear. He didn't an-swer. He stood there with his huge pink-palme- d hands dangling gro-tesquely almost to his knees, knees brown as winter walnuts. "WeU," Gait pointed down again, "let's go!" Silently, the slave turned and went ahead of them down the steps. His companion joined him at the bot-tom, grinning foolishly, rubbing his yes. The two trotted across the earthen floor of the inn big-roo-without shadow of sound, opened the big front door and waited for Lark and Gait. The inn was clean, now, dim and cave-quie- t. "A couple of gipsies Matson sent," Gait explained, and when Lark caught his arm anxiously, shook his head. "Neither of them was North. Had themselves a time in Mag's tore room. Picked the lock. The slaves chased them out." "You must be nearly dead, Gait? Did you rest at all?" "Sure. I'm all right. I'm fine." They went through the door into the warm September sunshine. Below, at the boat docks, the sailors were busy with the first sloop. Matson, in a cape, hat, and suit of brilliant green, was on the deck. He waved at Lark. "Been to the castle and prettied up all over again," Gait said scorn-fully. "God. I wish I could get you out of this, Lark!" "It's going to be all right," Lark said. "I Just feel" The slaves fell in step close be-hind them, boarding the sloop after them. The four sailors had the sails in order and pulled the gang on board and loosed the hawsers at once. Matson asked Gait to take the helm and steer for Ghost Is-land. It gave Lark a strange sensation this island again, as if to set foot on years had passed between times. The familiar line of the big sand ridge, the finger of fresh water trail-ing down from the little spring, the clump of scrub pines that hid Gait's secret cache, the beaches cut by the tracks of the wandering pony herds gave her a feeling of surprise, as if she found herself walking in a place she had merely dreamed without actual sub-stance. about, a place All of them. Lark. Matson, Gait and the sailors walked to the Island the ridge tip and then up through break to the stretch of green valley. the sloop se-cure The two slaves made by wrapping her hawser about the trunk of a tough wind-stoope- d Dine Then they followed the group the afternoon sun making their rich brown skins shine like oiled leather.

Gait, cut this dreadful can't loose it." rdeaHe'r. don t you. ly and stepped along beside him. "You're angry," he said serenely. "That's very foolish. Nothing so soon spoils a woman's good looks as ill temper. I suspect the lad will find the short-cu- t up the hill and be there by the time we are." There was a sound of footsteps on the path ahead of them and Matson called out, "Who's there?" Ginko, the gipsy fiddler, came down the hill to meet them with a glum and surly look on his hand-some face. "The thief has been caught," he said briefly. "The trap was sprung and the punish-ment meted out as you ordered." Matson nodded and ordered him to fall in behind them. As they rounded the bend, they came upon the flat open space where the Rums had pitched their tents. Scattered fires were burning here, and, in their illumination, the clumsy wagons and caravans under the oak trees looked like huge crouching beasts. As Matson and his followers came up the hill, the gipsies grouped them-selves together in a sullen, mutter-ing throng. "What is it?" Lark asked. "What's wrong? A band of fear seemed to tighten about her heart. "You heard what the Rom said," Matson answered smoothly. "A thief has been caught and very properly punished by some of my sailors, ac-cording to my orders. I wish you to identify the criminal; or should one say, victim. Is the figure hanging there David North'" While he was speaking these last words, he had swung Lark about suddenly so that she saw silhouetted against the firelight, a gibbet on which dangled a body. "Is it David North, Lark?" he whispered. "Was that thing hang-ing there once your lover?" Watching Lark's face, Matson said in a voice that was beautiful and soft as the muted tone of a violin, "Lord have mercy on the soul of David North!" The gipsies in the background be-gan to keen their minor wail, send-ing the shiver of sound out into the darkness and loneliness of the gath-ering night. "Lark," he said, "you haven't an-swered my question. You must say the words and then I will grant you your freedom, as I promised that I would. Say, 'that thief was David North, the man I loved.' " Lark was silent for a moment. He prompted her, gently. "That thief. ..." She said the words after him now, said them slowly, and in a whisper so low that none but he could hear. "Good." He spoke cheerfully now, and unconcernedly, "We are agreed then that justice has been accom-plished. This thief was caught in the very act of going through my possessions. Gipsies are born with their fingers in other men's pockets. Often enough they end on the gal-lows, with some pretty little wench dissolved in tears." With great show of tenderness, he produced a Madras silk handkerchief out of his cuff and wiped the tears that streamed down Lark's face. "Our pretty little farce Is over," he said. "You played your part with great feeling and conviction. Only, it was a very foolish part." He removed his arm from about Lark's waist, and she sat down quickly, her knees buckling under her. With two swift strides he stood un-der the swinging figure. A low moan of fear wailed from the gipsy group. Matson stood like a dancer, poised for an instant under the figure which swayed slightly as the damp night breeze came up from the sea and caressed it, pushing it a little, this way and that. He stood like an actor on an empty stage, waiting for an electric instant till he has the com-plete absorption of his audience. (TO BE CONTINUED) "1 think he'U hold you, Lark, to be like a hostage." strike me they'd get anything on Matson. Somehow if you see a fel-low you get a feel-ing he always will be. Yet if North was to get Matson's log record, and tell his tale of seeing the slaves loaded off here, and the leavings shipped on to Santo Domingo, where Matson always makes his claims to the Cargoe Riske for slaves he says died in passage, he could Jail Mat-so- n and strip him of well I wouldn't want to guess how many thousand pounds, to boot. I doubt North got those records. I doubt he's gone." "You think Dr. Matson will try to make me identify David?" Gait nodded. "And if North has got away, I think he'll hold you, Lark, to be like a hostage. I doubt your getting safe away." Lark said, "Gait, if David is in Norfolk he'll come and arrest Dr. Matson. right away. Matson won't hurt me. That would be crazy." "It ben't crazy. What looks crazy to me was North's letting you push off in the night, last night, without him. I'd think he'd try to see you safe, first, and come back for his damn log record." He stopped, looked at her. "Oh, I know how you feel! I know it makes you mad for me to say this." "I think David did his duty." Lark said. "He thought you and I were safe." , "Oh sure, awful safe! I don t mean me. Lord, Lark, I got no call on North for help for me! I don't want his help. But you why you-yo- u're promised to marry the buck-aro- You be promised, Lark, ben't you?" And when she didn't answer, he said. "I guess I got no right to nag at you. I'm sorry." With a flourish, Matson brought Bed Raskall up near them. Lather rose lightly on the stallion's neck, and he chuffed and snuffed and pawed the sand. Matson said, "I animal that com-pares have never sat an My congratulations. Lark, and you. too. Withe, for your luck in catching him. Now shall we pic-- nlxhe slaves led Red Raskall to the sloop, arranged the gang, and led him across it and down a steep ramp to the small fore hold of the vessel The sailors went to the sails, and the shore trip was begun. It was darkening when the sloop reached shore, and nightfall when Matson led the way up the path to fhl.Phillipr Jr CENTRAL, GIMME FLIVVER The auto to auto telephone Is near at hand. The American Telephone and Telegraph company announces that It will soon be in operation to-gether with house to car and office to car phone talks. From the walky-talk- y we prog reea to the cabby-gabb- y. After the war, possibly before, an automobile will have a telephone number. The wife will put in a call from the house and a buzzer on the dashboard will buzz. Presto! The automobile becomes part car, part house, part office and part phone booth! But If the boss can get you by phone that way It marks the end of the automobile as a pleasure ve-hicle. One of the chief charms of an auto has always been that you could get away from it all. No matter what might happen, nobody could get you on the phone and, after you had pulled over into a sldestreet, say "Sorry, I guess I have the wrong number." Add the telephone call to the red light, the detour sign, the motor-- i cycle cop and the federal car tax, and what have you got? Certainly not added comfort. You are transforming the flivver into a phone booth with tire trouble and hot brakes. Complications will be many once It becomes possible to link home sweet home with the beach-wngo- n and the imperial sedan by phone. We await the new exasperations of "What auto arc you calling?", "That sedan Is busy now." "The flivver that called you has hung up," and "There's no such car in the book." It will mean one more automobile gadget to be fixed, too. From now on you will never be sure when something goes wrong with the old bus whether to take It Ut a garage or to the telephone com- -' pany. -- - We'll take a motorcycle and no phone service!

V igorous Dramatic Criticism John Chapman thinks it might be a good thing if theater patrons let them-- I $elves go the way baseball fans do, registering their displeasure without restraint. We indorse the idea. A careful inspection of the theater convinces us that not enough pop bot-tles are thrown during performances, Harry Truman must feel pretty peeved at the fellows who said, "Go ahead and run for the vice presiden--! cy; it's quite an honor and it won't take any time or worry." First Microscope The first microscope is said to have been invented by a Dutchman in 1590, but its invention has been attributed to Galileo In 1610. The microscope has been perfected until a millionth part of a grain of blood may be detected by means of the spectrum lens. HUOUSEHOLD IHiriTSii Grass stains on white materials can often be removed by sponging with ammonia and water. Clean wicker furniture by scrub-bing it with a still' brush and warm salt water. The salt keeps the wicker from turning yellow. Scrub carrots with a stiff brush. It is easier than scraping or par-ing and saves vitamins and min-erals as well. When screws and bolts in imple-ments or iron become rusty, soak them in gasoline for 30 minutes and they will come out easily. When washing windows, use an up and down stroke on the outside, and the side to side stroke on the inside. This way, you can easily determine which side needs more polishing. To save that last bit of shorten-ing which clings to a jar contain-er, fill the jar with water. By the time the water is cold the shortening will have risen to the top and returned to its unmelted stage. Easily removed. Resolve to go easy on the vac-uum cleaner motor by emptying the dust bag after every use. Shake out the loose dirt, tie the bag inside out on the clothesline and let the breeze do the job thor-oughly for you. An electric refrigerator can be defrosted in a few minutes by this method. Turn power off in refrig-erator, remove ice cube trays, fill them with boiling water, and re-turn them to place. Leave refrig-erator door open during defrost-ing. Your little girl's dress can be given a professional touch, quickly and easily, if you use pretty hand-kerchiefs for trimming. Two, which are alike, will be needed for each dress. The handkerchiefs may be edged with lace, embroid-ery or have colored hems. Perhaps they have only embroidered cor-ners. Cut and use for collars, cuffs and the little pocket tops. They make a dainty and practical finish. Frozen Vegetables Remember to cook frozen vegeta-bles the shortest possible time. This will require from one-hal- f to two-thir-the lime for cooking fresh vegetables. Use as little water as possible and have It boiling when the vegetable is added. Homemade Bread , Extend the cheese flavor by add-ing grated cheese to bread dough. Another variation that adds nutri-tive value and flavor to homemade bread is chopped nuts; pecans, wal-nuts, peanuts or hickory nuts make good nut bread. Light Generation Only about 2 or 3 per cent of the electrical energy used by incandes-cent lamps is converted into visible light rays. In sodium and mercury lamps, the amount of visible light generated is somewhat larger. Canning Hint Don't use rubbers a second time, and always boil new ones in soda and water, using one tablespoon of soda to one quart of water for each dozen jar rubbers. Boil 10 minutes. Tasty Seasoning Tasty seasoning for puddings, pies, coffee cakes, baked apples and the like can be made ' |
