Walsh SYNOPSIS CHAITERR IX: In the darkness the Cuaribs board the schooner and overpower Dick and Rose, When Dick recovers consciousness he is securely tied up. Tuco tells him he fs seeking the treasure that Cap. tain Bedford sald was on board. CHAPTER X If Tucu believed there was any treasure hidden on the schooner, he would search for it, spend days overhauling every part of the craft. Ie concluded finally to favor the idea that there was something of value aboard, and that Captain Bediord had hidden it. By pretend- ing that he and Rose knew of its existence, but couldn't locate it, they would gain time When Tucu appeared a few hours later, with the first streaks of dawn breaking in the cast, Dick's mind was made up. Ile met the eyes of the old renegade with a look of compliance. "Tucu," he said, "you've got me in your power, and there's no use fighting against fate. I'll make a new deal with vou. Captain Bed- ford has enough loot aboard to make those smugeled jewels look like cheap imitations." "Thought y'said there wasn't none," groxled the man, scowling hard at his prisoner. Dick smiled. "That was before I thought vou kiiéw," he replied. "Nwanted to get the treasure an' the girl?" "Wasn't any harm in that, was there?" laughed Dick. "You'd do as much i vou had the chance." "Reckon 1 got em," leered the other. "No," slowly, "vou haven't. "You've got the girl, but you haven't got the treasure." "Reck'n one goes with the other. She'll tell when IT want her to." "No, she won't," replied Dick boldly, "for she doesn't know where it is" "The hell she don't! Y're lyin' to me." "AIL right! -- shrugging his shoulders. "Don't believe me. Ask her!" "If she don't know where it is, who does?" he demanded surlily. "Y'ain't lyin' to me ag'in!" ejacu- lated Tucu, eyeing his prisoner suspiciously. "When did T lie to you before?" The other growled savagely, and made no reply. After a while, he asked: "What's this new deal y'had in mind? Spit it out." "I wanted your word you wouldn't hurt Captain Bedford's daughter," replied Dick slowly. "If you promise not to harm her, we'll help vou scarch for the treasure. If you find it we'll let you take it, if you leave the schooner to us. You don't want that. She's no good, and wouldn't be worth tow- ing to port." "Reck'n she aint a bad prize," murmured Tucu 'reflectively. "We could get her to land if another storm didn't come up." "But another storm is coming," interrupted Dick. "You're sailor enough to know that. Feel the air, and that wind--" * * * "There may be another storm, an' there may be only a little squall," he said. "I ain't sayin' which." "No, but you know which It is," smiled Dick. "It's a storm." Tucu glanced uneasily around at the horizon again. "Y'can't help any in searchin' the schooner," he decided finally, "But y'can lie here an' watch us." "Then you don't agree to a new deal?" "If we find the treasure you an' the girl can have the schooner," was the grinning retort. "Mebbe y'can ride out the storm an' to land. T'll leave y'on it. "Then it's a bargain?" : * * = The half-breed regarded him slowly before replying. "Yes," he said finally, "after y' show me where them smuggled jewels is. Reck'n that's fair." "You're not greedy, Captain Tucu, are you?" laughed Dick. "You want the treasure and the smuggled goods. What do I get?" "The girl and the schooner," leered the other. "And if the schooner goes down in the storm I lose both." No, y'can swim fur it. Two on a raft's more comfortable than one, can' that's the way y'was when we picked y'up." Dick nodded. He had gained his - point. Nothing would happen to him or Rose while they searched the schooner for the mythical trea- sure. In the meantime, almost any- thing might happen -- a ship ap- pear or a storm break, i "We'll call it a deal," he said finally, His ready compliance awakened the other's suspicion. "Y' got to help us in one way," he addgd. "You an' that girl's got to help us." "How can we?" "By wheedlin' it out of the cap- tain. Mebbe he'll listen to his daughter." "I don't know about that; but I'll promise to do what I can. Let me sce her." The sun was rising in the east when Dick was led by two of the Caribs to the captain's cabin. His arms were sccurely bound, but his legs were free. His entrance into the cabin brought a little exclamation of de- light from a dark corner. Rose Bedford came forward to greet him. "Oh, they didn't kill you!" she exclaimed ecagerly., "I was afraid they had." "Rose," he said cagerly, "Tucu believes your father's got some sort of a treasure aboard the schooner, and he's after it. I told him I'd help him find it." * . * Instead of meeting him with glad eves, her face darkened. Dick had Here's really effective gentle relief from CONSTIPATION!

Barnabas and Saul Are Called The church of Antioch had five prophets and teachers worthy of mention by name, This carly Gen- tile church became a fountain of light and life to many other places. The Holy Ghost spoke to them as they ministered to the Lord and fasted. It was the Holy Spirit's work to call; it was man's work to recognize the call and set the call- ed apart for work. But it was the work whereunto the epirit called that they were to be set apart. The Spirit's Command Every step in that carly Church was taken in prayer, prayer to which men gave themselves so heartily that they withdrew them- selves even from necessary food to pursue it, The promptness with which this Church obeyed the Spirit's com- mand is worthy of note, The Spirit had demaaded the best they had for the foreign mission field, and they gave them up without a murmur, They would have liked to have kept Barnabas and Saul, but the Spirit called them elsewhére, and they sent them away, No directions seem to have been given as to where they were to go; so they made straight for the near- est port and thence for the old home of Barnabas. They were true to their commission; "they preach- ed the Word of God." Converts and Opposition Opposition did not frighten Paul and Barnabas; it made them the more bold, The Word of God ac- cording to God's crder must first be spoken unto the Jews. But as the Jews would not have it, it was given to others. The Jews in this lesson adjudg- ed themselves unworthy of eternal life by putting the Word of God from them; the Gentiles adjudged themselves ordained to cternal life by believing the Word of God, In "their joy they glorified the Word of God, and saving faith in Jesus was exercised by "as many as were ordained to eternal life." So it was that the gospel message was pro- claimed far and wide through the country, End of Journey Success in a widening field caused the returning missionaries to glorify God. The assembled Church heard all that God had done with them and particularly how he had opened the door of faith unto the Gentiles. Thus clos- ed the first missionary journey which made a permanent impact and impress. upon the pagan world. an uncomfortable feeling that she was searching him with eyes of suspicion, g "I promised," he went on eager- ly, "that we would help hiw search for the treasure." "You promised that?" she re- peated, slowly in a cold voice. "Yes, to gain time," he continued. "While he's looking for the trea- sure we may plan some way of escape. Tucu won't leave until he's searched every part of the schoon- er, and that will take a day or two." She was quiet a moment, her eyes vaguely restless and uncer- tain. Dick had the impression that she was worried. "Why does Captain Tucu think . there's any treasure on the schoon- er?" she asked slowly, Dick chuckled. "From the rav- ings of your father, He heard him chatter about the prize he'd picked up." "And do you think there's any?" she added. * . * Dick was on the point of answer- ing negatively when a queer ex- pression in her eyes arrested" him. He glanced soberly at her, and - then instead of putting in a denial he countered with the question: "Do you? Is there any treasure on board?" She remained noncommittal, glancing fro: him to the two stal- wart Caribs, whose sleepy eyes in- dicated no interest in the conversa- tion. Dick became suddenly dis- turbed in mind. If there was any particular sum of money or gold or anything else of special value, he had not improved matters by tell ing Captain Tucu he would help him in the search for ft. In fact, he felt that he had complicated the situation. From the accusing eyes of the girl, he began to feel guilty of having betrayed a secret, "I didn't know there was any- thing, Rose," he said penitently, "I supposed your father's chatter was all moonshine.

Modern Etiquette By Roberta Lee 1. Is it all right for a man to get into a streetcar, or other pub- lic conveyance, carrying a lighted cigar in his fingers? 2. How should a divorced wo- man sign her name? Where should the carving knife and the fork be placed on the dinner table? 4. What is the proper thing for a young man to say when asking a girl for a dance? 5. Should a man's social card read, "R. L. Adams", "Robert Lee Adams," or, "Mr, Robert Lee Adams"? 6. Should an 'invi ation to the wedding reception be included with the invitation to a house wedding? ANSWERS 1. A well-bred man will throw away his cigar before entering a public conveyance; for even if the cigar is not burning, It is some- times more offensive than when lighted. 2. Supposing her name is Mrs, Harry Smith (maiden name Anne Wilson), she should sign her name "Anne Wilson Smith." 3. The knife should be placed at the right of the meat platter, the fork at the left. 4. Merely say, "May I have this dance?" or, "Will you dance this with me?" The simpler the request, the better. Such expres- sions as, "May I have the honor," or, "I should be delighted" are af- fectations. 6. It should read, "Mr. Robert Lee Adams," using the full name and the prefix "Mr." 6. Yes.

Girl Of The Period: Eighty Years Ago "The low-necked dress and bold look of the wearer are signs of the present fast, frivolous and indecor- ous age. The Girl of the Period is a creature who dyes her hair and paints her face; no one can say of the modern English girl that she is tender, loving, retired, or domestic." Were those 'words written today? No, they were written just eighty years ago, and the trouble had started with the alleged flaunting of ankles on the parade at Brighton, It was said "at the seaside most of the young ladies are thinking of the admiration they hope to excite and reveal in the mincing airs they as- sume at the approach of the oppo- site sex." : No Hope For More Or Better Bacon Agriculture Department sources said last week there was little pros- pect, for some months at least, of improvement in the quantity and quality of bacon being sold for home consumption. - They pointed out that Canada, be- cause of her declining hog produc- tion, was having trouble meeting her contract to supply Britain with 350,000,000 pounds of bacon this year and likely would experience similar difficulty in 1947, This means that bacon, both in quantity and quality, will continue to be a rarity on Canadian butcher shop counters.

Price of Bread Remains Unchanged There is no immediate possibility of an increase in the price of bread to the consumer, according to Chairman Donald Gordon of the Prices Board. 4 Mr. Gordon indicated the price line would be held at the preseat consumer rate of 10 cents a loaf for the average loaf of standard quality, Attention was being given, he said, to the possibility of the return of sliced bread for consumer de- livery, one of a number of peace time inpovations which were elim- inated during the war.
