CHAPTER IX A noise from the cabin InterruptIts ed, and Rose turned swiftly. Father. He needs me." Dick remained on the deck, watching the tantalizing object with new interest. Rose suddenly came out of the cabin, and approached him in great agitation. Her eyes were glistening, and her whole face seemed aflame with some powerful emotion that transformed her into a radiant crea- (j&tft L IL'M WK.LL couple of hours well reach It Any danger of being wrecked on those rocks?

Captain Bedford was anxious to begin making repairs so the Betty could sail out of her prison at the earliest possible time. "We cant reckon on moren a week of fine weather, he said. "An we got about all we can do to get off afore that. Dicks curiosity to land on the island and survey the scene from the top of the cliffs was greater than any fear of future disaster. "Im going ashore, he announced. What fur? growled the skipper. "Ye wont see anythin but water an an island, an ye can see them here. "The island may be inhabited on the other side. ture. "Dick," she called eagerly before reaching his side. "Dick, its happened the miracle! I can hardly believe it, but" She stopped, trembling all over, her hands clasped in the attitude of prayer. He was by her side instantly, more startled by her happiness than by any fear that he had seen written there before. "What is it, Rose? he asked anxiously, catching one of her fluttering hands in both of his. Its Father, she breathed softly. Is he is he dead? The question came out before he had time to think abruptly, and Without premeditation. .Dead! she repeated, and then Dead! No! Hes laughed softly. Just come to life. Hes sane again, Dick. He knows me remembers I everything! Hes hes The tears bubbled from her eyes and rolled down her cheeks; but they were the tears of Joy and relief and not of fear or desperation. Dick held one hand and supported her "Great Jehosophat, aint you got trembling form with an arm. eyes! Thats land! An island! Im silly! she laughed hysterically, smiling through the tears. Captain Bedford snorted. Ye ex"But I can't help it! And I dont pect to find a hotel an a ship waitin carei I can cry for happiness, cant to take ye home? I? Dick shook his head and laughed. He barely resisted the temptation No, but Im curious to climb up to sweep her into his arms and kiss there and get a look. I wont be 3, the pouting lips. Come, she added a moment later, cluthlng his arms. "Come and see the miracle. In the cabin Dick found a much changed man lying on the bed where he had helped put him the night before. The feverish red had died out of the face, and the eyes, inspecting him critically, were as sane as any mans. The blow of the Caribs bludgeon had restored to Captain Bedford his reason. Rose had partly prepared him for meeting Dick by explaining briefly the series of events that had taken place while his mind was under a cloud. He extended a hand suddenly, and said: Yeve saved my little girls life, 1 understand. Then then ye can count on me as an everlastin' friend. "I dont know what Roses been telling you, Captain, but Ill bet she never told you how she saved my life. Let me tell you. The girl placed a hand before his lips, but he removed it, and went into details of their adventures that she had either omitted or slurred over. At the end. Captain Bedford sat up. "I reckon now," he said, Im ail cured. That little girl o mines Just like just like her mother. Then her mother must have been a wonder," smiled Dick. She wasl was the solemn gone long. When he was near the summit, he increased his pace, eager to get a glimpse over the top. The island was long and narrow, with the opposite side disappearing in the sea gradually, a fine sandy beach fringing half of it in the shape of a crescent horseshoe. The descent from the rocks to the beach was sharp and abrupt. One could make it in a brisk run or walk. Dick took this all in swiftly like the flash of a cinematograph. Then his eyes came to a sharp halt on an object in the cove formed by the crescent beach. With a quick intake of the breath, he exploded: The lugger! Tucus crews on the island! The lugger was anchored near the beach where she had probably ridden out the storm in perfect safety. Tucu had known of the Island and its protecting cove. The sails were flapping idly in the breeze, stretched for drying in the warm sun. The deck was deserted. There was no sign of any one aboard. Dick Makes Another Dismaying Discovery But this was easily accounted for by the presence of two boats drawn up on the sands. The crew was all ashore. Dick could see them in Womans World Need Variety If Versatile tailored TJwo PiCep j You Want Balanced Taste (JdutlonS hlflale a SlriLinq ni, s Ib explanation of the group of white men on the beach was all comprehensible. One of the boats of the City of Bahia had landed on the Island or been wrecked there. The discovery was not pleasant to Dick. His recognition of the man who had pursued him half around a continent, shadowing him as persistently as a bulldog, and finally capturing him in a small, out of the way corner of the earth, gave him a distinct shock. With a quiver, he recalled Hens parting words: "If we meet again on shore Ill pinch you. Its my duty. He glanced back of him. The schooner was resting quietly in its protecting prison, rising and falling lazily. On the deck Captain Bedford was busy making repairs to the sails and rigging, preparing for escape before another storm came. Rose stood alone at the bow, and as Dick looked she waved to him. He groaned and waved back to her. Then violent words sprang to his lips. "Damn Hen! He shant take me! Ill kill him first! It isnt fair! Ive paid paid enough for anothers crime! Ill die fighting for freedom! Damn it. Ill Jump into the sea first! Rose was still waving to him, cupping her hands occasionally as if shouting words of encouragement. He listened, but the distance was too far to catch her voice. Suddenly the fit of angry passion deserted him, leaving him limp and weak. He groaned aloud: "She will know! Hen will tell her! I cant escape it! Her name sprang to his lips, and with a cry of anguish he dropped his head on the hard rocks. The inevitable fate that had pursued him was closing about him, and he was glad now that he hadnt spoken to her. He shivered at the thought At least he had saved her that humiliation. When he glanced up again his mind was calmer and his white face, drawn and strained, had less of the rebellious lines in it. The men on the beach were still parleying. Dick wondered what sort of bargain they could make with Tucu. The old pirate would demand all he could get and take it Tucu was like Hen Inexorable and greedy. While he looked the parley sudand Captain denly terminated, Tucu, who had been conversing with Hen, turned on his heels to walk back to his waiting Caribs; but half way there he wheeled so swiftly that Hen was taken off his guard. There was a puff of smoke, and a sharp report Hen Pettigrew staggered back and nearly fell, reeling as if suddenly bereft of all powers of locomotion. At the same instant a group of Caribs, led by Black Burley, started forward on the run, firing as Dick saw Pettigrew they came. reel again, and this time pitch head first into the sand. The Caribs rushed past him, filling the air with their shots. Stones Poor Weapons Against Guns Dick waited to hear the returning volley from the white seamen, as the Caribs advanced, dodging from side to side, but no response came from them. Tucu had armed every one of his crew but they were poor shots. waiting until the Caribs Dick mused Joyfully. a little regretfully' Hen "I wish was there.

(By rlta J4a(ey ()B .'0 FRIEND of mine confided to me recently that she never seemed to have as smart looking clothing as her friends, although she spent as much as they did. After checking her wardrobe, we found that she made one error from season to season. Its an easy error to fall into, and one you may be guilty of without of perhaps realizing it. This friend mine had found one basic dress that she liked and she bought a similar one every year, even though in a slightly different color. Although the basic design was becoming to her, it finally became so monotonous that she felt she was not having any variety in her wardrobe, as were her friends. Every woman should realize that every season requires something entirely different in the way of color and design if she is to be completely happy about her clothes. I certainly dont suggest that you go in for bizarre experiments in clothing, hats or accessories, but there are many attractive colors and styles from which to choose. Before you choose your afternoon dress or your going-ou- t, cr semi-formdress-u- p dress, whatever name you give it, make a list of the kind of interests and dates youre planning to have. Then select a dress that will fit all these purposes as well as possible. Even though black is smart, dont repeat It every time you buy a dress. See what navy blue can do for you or royal blue or a deep bright red or perhaps the new gray-beig- e tone with jeweled touches about the throat or belt Youll have a nice surprise! A Select Dress to Fit Your Type If you are sewing the dress at home, you cant do justice to either material or pattern unless you realize your limitations with the needle. Unless you are experienced in working with material, dont choose draped styles that may be hard to handle. The soft, simple dress is designed just for you, and it need never lack variety. .I1 FEEl wE SHE Ri Y & u New Date r L ... rla Walthers plain and striped suiting was used for this smart suit by French gray in pencil Stefan. striped wool is used with a lemon yellow and white for a jacket.

The trimming on this type of dress may be something added to the dress which is easy to put on, or it may show up in such details as softness in the shoulders or gathers and tucks in the skirt Only If you are experienced with sewing should you choose the sophisticated, subtle dresses, and then only if you are the type to wear them. These dresses usually have many different pieces and they must be pinned together when cut so they dont get mixed. They also require painstaking work in sewing as seams must be very carefully finished. Outside stitching is taboo, and every corner and curve must be perfectly molded to the figure. Select your pattern first and then the material, as patterns will guide you to correct materials for the particular style which you have chosen. Always have matching thread to make the sewing neat.

Sound Film in Reverse three-quarte- Choose Accessories To Enhance Dress If youve received some particularly attractive jewelry recently and have nothing which really goes with it, theres nothing better than an attractive afternoon dress to set it off properly. If the jewelry is large and glittery, select something simple and classic to show it off. Or, if you have a very attractive lacy dickey, make a dress that will truly show it off welL On dresses such as these, use a very good quality material, simply but well made. Small tucks or pleats in the bodice or skirt may be used effectively, but they should be well tailored. Eases Report of Shot How the sensitivity of the human ear may be changed instantly and radically is demonstrated by a sound film recording of a revolver shot, says Colliers. When the film is run forward the loud report makes the ears insensitive to other sound waves that follow with decreasing intensity. When the film is run in reverse, only a soft swish is heard because these sound waves successively increase in intensity and so condition the ears in a split second that the report itself is not n" ' , Washing and ironing a shirt is not the contrary job it's reputed to be, even though there are many older homemakers who hate the thought of doing the SEWING CIRCLE PATTERN IlA St., San Franeitco, ti Enclose 25 cents In coins it pattern desired.

Theres a trick, or perhaps several of them, to doing the job properly. First of all, make sure the shirt is clean. Put it through two washings to make sure it is immaculate. Use a soft but firm brush for scrubbing collars and cuffs, as they soil most easily. Never rub the two together as this simply paves the way for fraying. Turn the pockets out and make sure there is no dirt, grime or tobacco resting at the bottom of the pocket. If you don't do this, theres bound to be trouble during ironing. If it is a cotton shirt you are washing, make the first rinse water warm, the second cool. Rinse twice. Starch while wet but consult the man as to how he likes his shirt starched. When you hang the shirt to dry, try to get most of the wrinkles out of it by shaking them out. This makes the ironing easier. When dry, dampen slightly and roll in a towel, but do not wad the shirt too tightly as this will create wrinkles that just need to be Ironed. Start Ironing wffth the wrong side of the collar, then go to the right side. Yoke and sleeves are next. Then iron down the front of the shirt so as to shape the shirt properly. If you make an addition to the Ironing board about the size of a bread board, but quite a bit lighter and pad this, it can be slipped over the regular board and used for shirts.
