Walsh SYNOPSIS CHAPTER Xi: Dick manages to talk Tucu into a new deal. Tucu wlll leave Dick and Rose aboard the schooner unmolested if the will help him find the treasure. storm is coming up and Tucu Js anxious to get back to his own ship, CHAPTER XI "Don't be sorry until you know what you're sorry for," she inter- rupted sharply. "I didn't say there was anything of value aboard. What Father says I'm not responsi- ble for. He says a lot of crazy things." "Then--then--" She waved him to silence as a footstep sounded on the stairs and Captain Tucu pushed his way into the room. Ie glanced from one prisoner to the other. "Well," he growled, "y'ready to tell?" "As much as we know, captain," replied Dick quickly. "Neither of us knows where Captain Bedford hid the money, If we had known we'd have left the schooner before you came aboard." Rose Bedford turned to face the half-breed, her cheeks flushed and angry. There was no fear in her. "If you think I'd tell if I knew where it was hidden," she said de- fiantly, "you're mistaken. You could never get it out of me." Her defiance brought the blood into the old pirate's face and the devil in his cyes. He stepped to- ward her and caught an arm in his powerful grip. "Y'wouldn't!" he snarled, "Y'wouldn't, ch? Well, y'little she- devil, I'll show ye, I'll wring It out of ye, an--" "Hold on, captain," interrupted Dick, "she doesn't know anything about it. Let up on her! You prom- ised not to make war on her. Set- tle it with me." } "Well, what d'ye know about it?" was the savage retort, as he turned from the girl to him, "Y'tell me or y'll go back tin the water where we found ye. Pretty damn quick, too!" Dick was struggling between a strong desire to twist the man's neck and the need of extra caution in playing his hand skilfully. Tre lat- ter finally triumphed, He smiled good-naturedly, "If you dropped me overboard, captain, you'd lose both treasure and the jewels. Now you don't want to do that." Tucu led impotently, ex- pending wrath by glancing from one the other with wicked, malevolenf eyes, He spat vicious- ly on thf floor, and then exploded: find it for us--ye an' that witchl Y'get me? It's got to be found! I don't care how 'y'do it, so's it's done. If not we'll string the capt'n up by his thumbs 'til he remem- bers, an' ye an' this girl'll come next, If we can't do any better we'll tie y'up in the cabin an' set the schooner afire. Then ye an' the treasure can go to hell together." "And the smuggled jewels?" queried Dick, smiling, Captain Tucu regarded him an is- stant in silence, and then shook his head. "I ain't sure there ever was any jewels," he said suspiciously. "I may give y'one more chance to to prove it. Then-- then--ye'll wish y'd died on that raft. Tt would be much easier, I reck"n, than the way ye'll go if y'disappoint me." As the search proceeded, and nothing was found, the half-breed's temper grew short and surly, He kept the deck most of the time, his eyes on Dick, who was lashed to the foremast, or on Rose, Captain Bedford had been held a prisoner fn the fo'c's'le where he had been subjected to certain third-degree methods of Tucu's invention; but the wandering mind of the dement- ed man was a treacherous thing to depend upon, In time the old man's very will- ingness to talk of the hidden treas- ure disgusted them. In moments of what appeared returning lucidity, he promised to lead them to the spot. Eagerly following him they would come to a dark corner of the gabin or the crew's mess, and wait upon his words, "It's in there," the captain said once, pointing to a locker, "I put It there to keep dry. Ye'll find it un- der the bottom." After ripping up the bottom of the locker, they found nothing but emptiness, No treasure had ever been hidden underneath, At another time he led them to a corner of the dark hold and whis- pered: "It's under them boxes. I hid it there so the rats couldn't find it." They did find something under the boxes that aroused their cupid- ity--three small canvas bags filled with something that jingled. When they opened them they found them filled with sea shells and pebbles. "He, hel" chortled Captain Bed- ford, thrusting a hand in one of the bags and lifting out a fistful of pebbles. "I told y'they was here. I got 'em off the submarine -- wrecked on the reef--German loot, y'know. We'll divide 'em." "Hell," muttered Tucu in dis- gust: "He never had no treasure." He strode on deck, his eyes bloodshot with anger. Seizing Rose by the arm, he said: "Y've been lyin' ter me. There wasn't no treas- ure aboard." "I never said there was," she re- plied cooly. "You took Father's word for it, and I told you he wasn't responsible for what he said." Tucu glared at her in silence, his face working in a passion. Then without a word, he-dropped her arm and strode toward Dick. "Y'got one more chance," he said ominously. "Y'lied 'bout this treasure, Now we'll see if y'were lyin' bout them jewels," ) "What's wrong, captain?" asked Dick, realizing that something had happened to bring matters to =a head. "There ain't no treasure aboard. Y'made up that tale. Now we'll see if y'made up that one 'bout the smuggled gems." Matters had certainly reached a climax. The crew under Tucu's orders were preparing to return to the lugger. Dick didn't quite un- derstand what it meant until half an hour later two Caribs cut the ropes holding him to the mast. He tried to extract from them some information; but they mutely dis- regarded him and conducted him to the small boat. Ten minutes later he was rowed back to the lugger. All except two of the crew were abandoning the schooner. When Tucu and Black Burley came aboard the lugger, Dick's fears for his own safety was secondary to his dread that something terrible was about to happen to Rose. "Where's Captaln Bedford's daughter?" he demanded sharply. "Where she wanted to be -- aboard the schooner," replied Tucu, grinning. "She's not going with us?" "No." "Is she alone?" "She's got two o' my men to keep her company, an' that crazy father," leered the half-breed. Dick frowned, The sea was rough and choppy, and the wind blowing half a gale. The threatened storm was rapidly approaching. The schooner was in no condition to weather it. Captain Bedford was worse than useless, and the Caribs were indifferent seamen. "Storm's coming, captain," Dick said finally, "and the schooner will "go down in it. Why not take the captain and his daughter off? You don't want them to drown." "The hell T don't," snapped the other. "I didn't put 'em there, an' I ain't goin' to take 'em off." "Then will you let me go back to them?" Tucu grinned. "Y're goin' to show me where them smuggled goods was chucked off the steamer, or y're goin' to feed the fishes." The man's plan was clear enough now. Convinced that there was nothing of great value aboard the schooner, he had abandoned her until after he had found the smuggled gems, Later, if the storm did not send the schooner to the bottom, he could return and sal- vage her if she was worth it. ISSUE 44-1946 Ten Statutory Holidays Listed No Difference Between Legal and Statutory Holidays Statutory holidays set by the Federal Government are quite simple and haven't changed much for decades. In addition to Sundays they are 10 in number and were incorporated in the Statutes of 1934, although all have been on the statute books in various acts much longer. ' The days set aside for observance in all provinces are Sundays, New Year's Day, Good Friday, Easter Monday, Victoria Day, Dominion Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Remembrance Day, Christmas and the day designated for observance of the King's birthday. And there is no difference be- tween a legal holiday and a statu- «tory holiday. * « * During the war an order-in-coun- cil temporarily removed the re- strictions on Sundays, Faster Mon- day, Victoria Day and Remem- brance Day, but the order-in-coun- cil was cancelled last spring and the full list again is in force. All the holidays fall on specific calendar days except Thanksgiv- ing, which is "any day appointed by proclamation for a public holi- day or for a general fast or general thanksgiving, and the birtrday of the reigning sovereign" which may be changed to "a day fixed bv pro- clamation for its celebration". Farly last session the Govern- ment gave some consideration to setting a new holiday for observ- ance of the end of the World War. However, the Canadian T.egion passed a resolution at its last con- vention asking that Nov. 11 -- a Monday this year--be known per- manently as the day to mark vic- tory "in any war", and the matter was dropped. * * * Tncidentally, it has heen called "Remembrance Day" since 1931. The day was first made a statutory holiday in 1920 and was then known as "Armistice Day". When New Years, Christmas, Victoria Day, or the King's birth- day falls on a Sunday, the follow- ing day is observed as the holiday. None of these statutory holidays is observed in any province unless proclaimed by the lieutenant-gov- ernor of the province, who may . also proclaim any other dav a holi- day which is so designated-by pro- vincial statute. Tn addition any city, town, municipality or other organized district may appoint any day a civic holiday.

This is the great battle Paul fought. His argument: God has wrought signs and won- ders among the Gentiles by us, and thus set His seal upon our preaching of salvation by faith apart from the works of the law. The mode of address is full of significance: "The brethren which are of the "Gentiles". Faith In Christ makes all men kin. Call to Freedom The call of Christ 1s a call to frcedom. Paul warns against the misunderstanding and abuse of freedom. True freedom is govern- ed not by "the lusts of the flesh but by the law of love, and love seeks not its own but makes us to "be servants one to another". Verse 13 would solve all our problems if we would only all live by it. The whole law of God is summed up in one word, "Love"; "Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself." If all men would obey that law, wars would cease and all other evils would cease. Walking by the Spirit Paul tells 'the simple secret of not fulfilling the lusts of the flesh, What's new?

Print plainly SIZE, NAME, AD- DRESS, STYLE NUMBER, grace of the Lord Jesus.--Acts 185: The secret is simply this: "Walk by the spirit", thus giving the con- trol of our conduct into the keep- ing of the Holy Spirit of God. If we will give Him control we will not fulfil the lusts of the flesh. If we do not we certainly shall, The flesh is our natural self, which is largely under the control of our physical natures, The lusts of the flesh are not something over- come once and for all time by some momentary experience by which we enter into "the higher life", but they are overcome by daily walk- ing by the Spirit. Rationing Of Meat | May End In Spring There is a possibility that meat rationing, re-introduced last Sept- ember to provide more food for Europe, may end next spring. Government experts said that by then Canada would have met her commitments to UNRRA, and a number of foreign governments and meat would be in much larger supply. The ration has cut consumption from a normal total of about 148 pounds per person per year to be- tween 136 and 188 pounds. Chief Killer Accidents take the lives of about 6,500 school children a year in the United States. Although the death rate from accidents among young- sters has declined markedly in re- cent decades, the reduction has not kept pace with the decline from disease. As a result, accidents are now the leading cause of death among school children. How Can 1? By Anne Ashley Q. How can I clean kid gloves? A.

What might a hostess say to departing guests who are thank- ing her for the evening? ANSWERS 1. Certainly; but unless she knows that her escort can afford it, she should not be too extrava- gant in her choice.

His right arm. 8. The young woman's. 4. A silver mug or a feeding spoon are appropriate gifts. 8. Certainly, This is a good way to get acquainted with the mem- bers of other groups. 6. "It was so nice to have you here." Top Driving Score "For The Women! None other than the administra- tive director of the traffic engineer- ing and safety department of the American Automobile Association, Horald O. Carlton, says that wives are better drivers than their hus- bands are. He proves it, too, with statistics and also with evidences of what goes on inside drivers' minds, When traffic thickens up, women seem more aware of possible emergencies than men do. Men, says Mr. Carlton (with a"glance at his statistics), rely on their strength to get them through, They tug oa the wheel, jam on the brakes, de- pend upon brawn, which is not very bright. But women--most women, that is--depend upon judgment, Under trying traffic conditions they are much more cautious. The com- parative ratio of accidents bears this out.
