Anyway the whole situation had changed now that he had yielded up his scepter of au thority. It was this steel tube load ed with death, not the man himself, that Roy required on shore.

'By the way, Roy, in case I don't come back, be careful with that revolver," he added quietly. qui-etly. "Be sure you know all about it before you try to flre." Now the hunters were hurrying nigh, and talk was done. Eric lunged back against the wind, Just In time to help ship the boat All the able-bodied able-bodied men on hand waded in the boiling foam, and although the waves smote them like sandbags and made them reel, they held the kayak while the three voyagers boarded and drew the hatches tight Could they get through the surf into deep water? The answer lay with one man alone Sandomar. With a grunt he seized the gunwale and lumbered Into the tide. On and on he stumbled, his gorilla strength and animal courage matched against the fury of the breakers. When he could go no further, he passed the boat along until his big hands were on the stern. Watching his chance, as a billow rushed sea- Sandomar Came . Fighting , Back, Falling, Rising to Reel on Again. ward, he gave a mighty thrust. The kayak shot forward, then up to the crest of the next wave. The billow met it well beyond the breakers. Sandomar came fighting back, falling, rising to reel on again, hurled forward with back-breaking back-breaking violence, at last lumbering through the foam with immense arms hanging limp, his eyes like a dead seal's. With a suffocating heart, Kan watched the little craft beat out to sea. Once she thought It was gone. An avalanche of water swept it down. For a frigid eternity, perhaps per-haps ten seconds, possibly twenty, there was naught where It had been but a gray hillside streaked with foam. But presently the pointed bow shot out like the snout of a shark.and the heads of the boatmen appeared one by one. The paddles glinted wanly, as the little ship sailed on. Nan's chill despair began to change to flaming hope. A daring thought stole into her stunned brain; not just that Eric had done right in some vague abstract sense, but that his foolish dream was inspired in-spired truth, that there were hidden laws governing life which Roy's materialism ma-terialism could never explain and which had decreed Eric's victory. How did she or anyone know what was true, what was false? Perhaps Eric's Idealism was not just a splendid splen-did Illusion, to trick him to a fruitless fruit-less death, but a working force, a living, conquering power. Perhaps he would yet win to his goal and return to stand beside her on the strand. "Fight on, Eric," she whispered. "Go and come back safe. . Bring him back to me, little ship. Oh. don't fail him nowl" Beside ber, Sandomar and his gang cursed and breathed bard. Meanwhile Eric was fulfilling his destiny. All his long journeyings had been toward this one goal, a grain of sand In a lonely sea, and an Indian child calling him with outstretched out-stretched arms. This was the great battle of his life. Nan, Roy, Sando mar bad no part in this. It was all between him and his fierce old dam, the sea. She was the mother of his race. She had fed him, schooled him, cherished cher-ished him, and now she would try him to the bone. And the test was commensurate with his 'Tank the heir of sea-kings. Ever she had spared no pains on his blue-eyed, fair-haired brood. From those'Im days they had sailed forth in painted paint-ed galleys, red-bearded flerce-browed brutes in winged hats, from the deep-cut fiords of Scandinavia, she had harried them, proved them, slain them without mercy, until she had bred men ! Yet to the dark spawn of the west ern isles Eric owed his fighting chance. The wooden dory that was his cradle would stand short shift in seas like these; she would fill and flounder at the first rush of the rolling mountains ; and only the Alaskan kayak, developed in centuries cen-turies of rough sailing after walrus wal-rus and whale, could shake free and leap to the crest It was no more than a whale-bone frame covered with walrus hide, yet Eric blessed It in the name of his Norse gods. No stately ship beating through a tropic typhoon had ever made his heart glow so warm. The hatch he occupied came nearly near-ly to his armpits, and was scarcely large enough to admit his body. The folds of his kamleika made it watertight, and though one wave after another broke over him, blinding him, bludgeoning his bead and shoulders, always the craft buoyed up, shook off the water-arms, water-arms, and fought on. His two comrades com-rades timed their strokes with his; caught up by his conquering spirit tney iougnt as tney bad never fought before, drunk or sober, on land or sea, for life, bread, or favor fa-vor of woman. Their goal slowly neared. They could see the kneeling child, braced against the wind, pitched down sometimes as the rising waves broke over the sandy shelves and washed her to the waist, but always struggling strug-gling up. "Hold on I" Eric shouted, hoping against hope that the cry would beat through the wind to her ears. "We're coming for you 1" She appeared to take heart She could bear naught but the bellow of the gale, but she saw his lips move, and some fellowship of cour age leaping across the foam made ber fight like a shoaled salmon. The kayak came op on the lee of the islet, in comparative quiet water. With a yell, Eric sprang out waded to land, and clasped the fainting child in his arms. Roaring he knew not what perhaps the ancient an-cient battle-cry of the Vikings welling well-ing up from some old cellar in- his brain he waded back, thrust the limp body Into the hold, climbed Into the hatch, and smote the water with his blade. CHAPTER IX THE watchers on shore waited desolate eternities. Had Roy glanced at Nan he would have wondered won-dered where her dusky beauty had flown. Her eyes were dark wounds. Her cheeks were haggard and gray, her lips were drawn. Yet if she loved the man she had lost she still did not know it Love was the flash of a lighthouse through the storm, and the storm blew too thick between.' . But presently she bit her lip until un-til It bled. She thought she saw a strange-shaped shadow on the water, wa-ter, revealed only an Instant through the fluttering curtains of spindrift A moment more she waited.

U a sudden, terrific atorm, the -boarga," a child of the tribe is caught over the rolling hills, a dark shape took form. At the same instant, the murk parted like a torn veil, and the scene was etched in vivid black and white on her memory. The kayak seemed to be riding the storm. For an instant it hung poised, a symbol of victory, on the wind-whipped crest of the highest billow, looking down on Its domain. The paddles flashed valiantly. The sea light was on Eric's face. Then it came leaping toward land. She could not utter a sound. Her throat was too fulL But Sandomar grunted she heard him and Roy gasped out what she thought was an oath of amazement Mother Horton threw up her lean arms with a yelL "By G d. he's made it!" But no one blamed the old woman for the oath. The watchers never lost sight of the boat again. It came with a rush, the wind behind it, hurled through the foam, dodging, rocking, pitching, pitch-ing, soaring up and darting down. The boorga roared in vain. The foiled seas chased the little ship, to spring upon Its back, but always their leaps fell short With a long, wavering cry, like the howl of a wolf, Sandomar rushed into the water to break the shock of landing. His pals followed. cheering ; the triumphant shout rose until it topped the bellow of the storm and beat out against the blast to give fresh heart to the struggling, strug-gling, exhausted voyagers. But the Aleuts only leaned forward from their hips grunting, staring. It was not for them to wave their arms and yell defiance to the de mons of wind and sea. . . . Yet Nan thought she saw a passing luster lus-ter in their dull, dark eyes. The boatmen back-paddled for their lives. The boat lunged in, knocking the sailors headlong, but Its speed was checked, and the Aleuts steadied it to land. Soon the palefaces had lifted their three comrades out of the hatches. Gray, haggard, and quivering, their hair streaming, their eyes sunken and dead, they were hard, to recognize as the same bold, hardy men who i had boarded two hours before. The master of the island lacked strength to stand alone. Sandomar had only to raise his arm to wipe him out let Eric revived enough to reel to the boat again, grope in the hatch, and bring to light the drenched, rumpled, limp figure of an Aleut child. The crowd gazed long. It had not occurred to them that Eric, had actually won his goal. They had been content with a dead heat to cheat the sea of the three lives that had challenged her and never dared think that Cliikak too had been snatched from the boorga. Only two of the women had asked after the child in their hearts, and neither had breathed a word. One was Chugalim, dark woman of the island. She had dared not interrupt the excited palefaces, miracle-workers and half-gods, to seek her daughter's fate. The other was Nan, who could not believe that the Eric she knew had turned back defeated de-feated after so brief a battle. It did not surprise her to see the child hauled up from the hold, but only gave freer passage to her tears. She expected some such end, but somehow she had been afraid to question. The girl was exhausted, half-dead half-dead from exposure, but a few hours sleep and a pint of warm seal-oil down her throat was all the medicine she needed. In a few days she would be ready for further fur-ther explorations to the outlying rocks and sand-spits. Stammering, crying with dry eyes, Chugalim burst through the wondering crowd and gathered La her own. Half-carried between Horton and Wilcox, Eric reeled to his turf-hut He had forgotten bis revolver ; anyway any-way he lacked strength to take it back, if Roy chose to keep it His mind was like a lighthouse in fog. ; He scarcely knew who walked be- i side him how he came to be on land, Instead of amid thundering waters for what prize he had fought so many weary life-times which way to turn the wheeL . . . At last he found himself on his own pallet too tired to rise and lock the door behind his departing friends, too dulled to care whether his enemies stole opon him in his unguarded hour. Nan had not followed her friends home.

Creoles The word -Creole" Is used In the United States In reference to the white persons descended from French and Spanish settlers of Louisiana and ether Gulf states. Comfort of Fleck Important in Summer Time. The comfort of the poultry flock Is a main consideration In getting good egg yields during warm weather, wea-ther, states G. W. Knox, extension poultryman. University of Arkansas Arkan-sas College of Agriculture. Shade can be provided by the use of low-growing shrubs or fruit trees, neavy leafed plants as the castor bean make good shade, or temporary shade can be constructed by making low frames covered with wire and then covered with straw. The poultry house should be made as cool as possible. Opening up the front of the house, and windows on the back and ends will allow ventilation ven-tilation which will insure cool houses. Green feed Is Important In stimulating stimu-lating egg production. Cowpeas and soy beans make good summer greens as they grow well in hot weather. They also stand dry weather fairly well. If a triple yarding yard-ing system Is used, by rotating the hens from one yard to the other each day tender greens can be kept growing. Skimmilk will stimulate egg production pro-duction and mny be given either sweet or sour, but should be fed the same way each day. Buttermilk may also be given. If as much as one gallon of milk is fed each day for each 25 hens, a simple mash mixture may be used. This mixture mix-ture may be made of 100 pounds bran, 100 pounds corn meal, and 3 pounds salt Oyster shell Is kept before the hens, and a grain feed of 2 parts corn and 1 part wheat Is fed late in the afternoon. If no milk Is available, 75 pounds of meat scrap can be added to the masb mixture. Dry mash should be kept before the hens all the time during the entire year. .

M. Wil cox, of the department of agricul tural economics. College of Agriculture, Agricul-ture, University of Illinois. At this rate the farmers' bill on the annual production reported In the last census cen-sus would have been more than $18,000,000. While this was the average cost for a relatively large group oT poultrymen In the state, some of the flock owners In the group kept their costs down as low as 6 or 7 cents a dozen. The low cost on all these farms was the result, mainly, of the very low prices of feeds during dur-ing the past year, nigher feed prices will make costs much higher In 1933. The average cost of rearing a pullet on these poultry farms was 46 cents, but here again Individual poultrymen using better management manage-ment kept their pullet-raising costs below 30 cents. Another group of men not specializing spe-cializing In poultry production but using their flocks as a source of Income along with other farm enterprises en-terprises kept cost records on their poultry along with their Illinois farm account book records. The cost of producing eggs on these farms was 9.6 cents a dozen. Iodine in Eggs Goitre is a deficiency disease the eause of which is a lack of iodine. The best way of administering the Iodine Is In some organically combined com-bined form. Hence the present fad for eggs of high Iodine content especially es-pecially In regions where goitre Is prevalent On the principle that If a little Iodine Is good, much must be better, poultry breeders have been adding Iodine compounds to feeds and drinking water. The method is so simple that Dr. C H. Almqulst of the University of Cali fornia finds It necessary to sound a warning against It No one knows how much Iodine or how little should be fed to a laying hen or a growing chirk. Until the correct doses are fixed by experiment the eating of eggs rich In Iodine may have Its drawbacks. New York Times. Culling the Hens The federal government Issues the following instructions Bbout culling bens: "Cull all hens that are sick. weak. Inactive, lacking In rigor, rig-or, poor eaters; those with shrunken, hard, dull or whitish colored comb: those with thick stiff pelvis bones that are close together, and those that have a small spread or distance between the rear end of the keel and pelvic bones. Those that have a full firm or bard abdomen abdo-men are also less desirable, and those that have molted or begun to molt should be removed likewise. In breeds having yellow legs and itkln. the dismrded hens would also show yellow or medium yellow legs, itd yellow beaks and vents." chopping bowl, add my chilled short ening and, with a double-bladed chopping knife, 1 cut the fat Into small pieces, at the same time, of course, mixing It Into the flour. Some people can mix pastry satisfactorily with the hands, but my hands are too warm. The fat should be actual ly in small bits throughout the flour, not thoroughly blended Into a smooth mixture. Fat need not be cut as fine for pastry as tor biscuits. If you prefer pre-fer to use a wooden bowl you mny use two knives or a fork or a wire whisk to cut in the fat After you have cut for a few moments shake the bowl and the larger pieces of fat will come to the top and you can tell when it is thoroughly mixed. Now you are ready to add the wa ter, which should be cold. In warm weather Ice water Is preferable. Make a hole at one side of the flour, add one tablespoon of water and with a stiff knife stir In as much of the flour mixture as the water will take up. Do the same thing two or three other places In the flour mix ture and then with your hands press the balls of dough and the dry mix ture left In the bowl together into a smooth ball. Put in the refrigerator to chill a few minutes. Then roll out to tine your pastry pan. Pastry may be rolled on a slightly floured board or directly on a metal table top. Roll from the center each way. Roll light ly and pick up your sheet of pastry after each roiling, to prevent ttlck- ing. When 1 make fruit pies I mix a tablespoon of sugar with a table spoon of flour and sprinkle over tpe bottom of the lined pan. I then put In my fruit and sugar In layers, dampen the edge of the lower crust, put the other crust on top. press the crusts together and cut them evenly with a scissors. If you like you may bind the edge with a thin strip of pastry or you may leave the lower crust a quarter Inch larger than the upper crust and turn It back on top of the upper crust Press the edges together tightly with your fingers or the prongs of a fork. Be sure to cut slits In the top of the pie to let the steam out and thus prevent the simp from making Its wsy out at the edges. "', . I like to bake a pastry shell on the outside of a pie pan, as it keeps a better shape. After the pastry has been trimmed around the edge with a sharp knife it should be pricked all over with a fork to prevent crack ing during the baking. Pastry should have a hot oven, but after ten minutes min-utes the heat should be lowered for a fruit or custard pie. Fresh fruit pies and tarts are very popular Just now. Pastry shells are filled with the sliced fresh fruit or with berries which are then covered with whipped cream or with a "glaze. Sometimes pie shells are filled wltb a custard filling and fresh fruit Is beaten In the whipped cream which is used to cover the custard. Pastry. 1H cupa flour. teaspoon salt. V, cup fat. Cold water.
