On the steamer Kan- Baa. leaving Valparaiso for England, are Miss Elsie Maxwell, fleeing from the unwelcome attentions of. Pedro ventana, and Miss Isobel Baring. Edouard de Poncilit.

Isobel, erased with terror of the storm, mys tifies Elsie by calling her an emissary of Ventana. Elsie is left behind by ac cident when the other women passen gers are taken off the Kansas In one of the lifeboats. CHAPTER VI. Elsie accidentally Bees part of a letter addressed to the captain. In it the unknown writer re fers to "the woman destined to be your wife." Elsie, Courtenay, Chrlstobal. an engineer named Walker, and Tolle mache. with some wounded men. among them Boyle and Frascuelo, are compell ed to remain on the Kansas, all the boats being gone or smashed. The Steamer floats clear of the reef. CII AFTER VII. TTYTTTALKER was about to take I lyAI her to the salon, whence an I y u Inner staircase communicat ed with the principal state rooms, but she knew that the door leading to tho promenade deck had been left unlocked, so she signaled him to lead her the speediest way. Speak Bhe could not. Although there was a perceptible improvement in the gath er, Elsie found the wind even harder to combat than when she traversed the deck with Courtenay. This' apparent contradiction arose from the fact that during their early dealing with tho boats the sailors had cut away the greater part of the canvas shield rig ged to protect passengers from adven turous seas. Nevertheless, all flustered and breath less as she was, she held Walker back when he would have left her in the abater of her cabin. To spare ne one moment," she pleaded. "When I have put on dry clothing, what am I to do? Where am I to to go? I will do anything rather than remain alone." Walker Jammed himself in the door way to break the violence of the un ceasing deluge of spray. "Well, missie," he said, "I'm examin ing the engines, MIstaw Tollemache is fi-wlng up the donkey boiler, and Doc taw Chwistobal is with Mistaw Boyle. You know whe-aw the captain ls so I weckon yo' best place Is the salon." "Dr. Christobal said you were mak ing a raftr "That's wight. But when the ship got off we tackled othaw Jobs. She is ow-ah best weft." "May I not look after some of the injured men?" That you can't, was Walker's prompt assurance. "You'd bettaw Btlck to the salon. I'll tell the captain yo the-aw." "Tell him? Are you returning to the bridge?" "Telephone!" shouted Walker as an unusually heavy sea caused him to slam the door unceremoniously. He bolted tt too. Not if be could help It would his charge come out on that storm swept deck unattended. The electric light glowed brightly in Elsie's cabin, exactly as she had left It an hour ago. This was one of the anomalous conditions of the dleaster. It lent a queer sense of midsummer madness to the night's doings. In a few days it would be Christmas, the Christmas of sunshine aud flow ers known only to that lesser por tion of the habitable earth south of the line. In Valparaiso the weather was. 'stifling,, yet here, not so very far away, it was bitterly cold. And the ship was driving headlong to destruc tion, though electric bells and switches were at command in a luxuriously fur nished apartment, while the engineer had just spoken of the telephone as a means of conversing with the captain. Away down in her feminine heart the girl wondered why Courtenay himself had not come to her. Why had he sent Chrlstobal first and Walker subse quently? Oh, of. course he hadjnore urgent matters' to attend to, though In the helpless condition of the ship It was difficult to appreciate their precise de grees, of importance.' Anyhow, he had sent word that she was to change her clothes, and he must be obeyed, as Dr. Chrlstobal said. Then she discovered as a quite new and physically disagreeable fact that her Bklrts were soaked up to her knees, while ! her blouse was almost In the same condition owing to the quantity of spray which had rii down Inside her thick ulster. She busied herself In procuring fresh clothing aud boots. The outcome of the pleasant feeling of warmth and comfort was such as the "'X, r I . , . ,7 . EDWARD J.

The salon. Boyle had thrown tablecloths over the bodies of men slain in the salon, for Gray and Tollemache had sternly but vainly striven to repress the second re volt. Tollemache and Walker bad dragged out of the smothering spray near the port davits three men who seemed to t.e merely stunned. These, with the chief officer and perhaps four survivors of the explosion, made up the list of living but noneffective members, of the ship's company. There was one other, Gufllelmo Frascuelo. who was bawling for dear life in his bunk In the forecastle, but in that davk hour no one chanced to remember him, and It needed more than a human voice to pit itself against the hurricane which roared over the vessel. The uuhappy wretch knew that something out of the ordinary had taken place, and he was Beared half out of his wits by the con tinued absence of the crew. Luckily for himself, he did not appreciate the real predicament of the ship or he would have raved himself into mad ness. Walker in his brief catalogue of oc cupations had suppresstrl one. To make sure Christobal closed a water tight bulkhead door which cut off the principal staterooms from the salon Then he and his two helpers carried out a painful but necessary task. It was his duty to certify whether or not life was extinct. There were very few exceptions. The three men lifted the bodies and threw them overboard. When they reached the corpses of the second officer and a Spanish engineer who had been knifed in the defense of the Jolly boat his comrade had scram bled into one of the lifeboats Tolle mache took possession of such money, documents and valuables as were in their pockets, Intending to draw up an Inventory when an opportunity pre sented itself. Though they knew not the moment when a sickening crash would herald the final dissolution of the ship, they proceeded with their work methodic ally. In half an hour they had reached the end. All the Injured men seven nondescript sailors and firemen were carried to the salon and placed under Chrlstobal's care. Walker dived below to the engine room, where be had al ready disconnected the rods broken or bent by the fracture of a guard ring. which In turn was injured by the blowing out of a Junk ring, a stout ring of forged steel secured to one of the pistons. He could do nothing more on deck. Whether he was destined to live fifty seconds or as many years, he was ill content to hear his beloved en gines knocking themselves to pieces with each roll of the ship. Tollemache, who undertook the fir ing of the donkey boiler, which was situated on the main deck aft of the salon for the Kansas was built chiefly to accommodate cargo during bis wanderings round the world had picked up sufficient knowledge of steam power, to shovel fuel Into. the furnace and regulate the water level by the feed valve and pump. The small engine, more reliable and quite as pow erful as a hundred men, was in perfect order. ' .. The Kansas rolled heavily. The roll was caused by an experimental twist of the wheel. Courtenay, peering into the darkness through the open window of the chart house, saw that the weath er was clearing, s He had evolved theory, and, for want of a better, be was determined to pursue it to n finish. The Kansas was being swiftly carried along in a strong and deep tidal cur rent. Happily the wind followed the set of. the aea, else there would be no chance of success for his daring plan Ills expedient was the desperate one of keeping the vessel In the line of the current, and if day broke before he reached the coast he would steer for any opening wtdch presented itself In the fringe of reef which must assur edly guard the mainland. ;v ' With his hands grasping the taut and In one sense irresponsive mechan ism of a steering wheel coverned bv steam a sailor can "feer jhe move ment of his ship, a seaworthy vessel being a living thing, obedient as" a doc ile horse to the least touch of the rein But in the unlikely event of fortune favoring Courtenay to the extent of giving him an opportunity to aee the coining Hanger u was essential umt of action apart fronTthe direction" and force of the ocean stream. The two sails were helpful, and It was to as sure himself of their efficiency that he put the helm to, starboard. The Kan sas obeyed with an answering roll to port, showing clearly that she was traveling a little faster han the in- rushing tide would take Tier unaided. He brought her head back to nor'east again and glanced over his shoulder at the ship's chronometer. It was a quar ter to 1. Two hours must pass before he would discern the first faiDt streaks of light. At any rate. If he were spared to greet the dawn It would be right ahead, and, as1 a few seconds might then be of utmost value, that was a small point in his favor. Yet, two hours! Could he dare to hope for bo long a respite? How could the ship escape the unnumbered fangs which a storm torn land thrust far out into the Pacific for its own protection? He was quite sheltered from the wind and spray in the chart house, and all at once he became aware of a burn ing thirst There was water in a de canter close at hand, so he indulged In long drink. That was wonderfully vivifying. Then his mind turned long ingly .to tobacco. For the first time in his life he broke the strict rule of the service In which he had been trained and smoked a cigar while on duty. Now and again he spoke cheerily to the dog: Well, Joey, here we are; still got a bark In us!" or "You --jj i must have our names on the admiralty chart, Joey 'Channel surveyed by Captain Courtenay and pup; details uncertain. How does that sound, old chap?" And again: "I suppose your friend. Miss Maxwell, is asleep by this time. If she calls you Joay, do yon call her Elsie? rather fancy Elsie as a name. What do you think?" To all of which the dog, who bad found a dry corner, would respond with a smile and a tail wag. The long wait in the darkness would have broken many a man's nerve, but Courtenay was not cast In a mold to be 111 . 1 1 . euuer ueni or uroiien oy lear. nut-ui his cigar was not in his mouth he whistled, be hummed snatches of songs and delivered short lectures to Joey on the absurdity of things In gen eral and the special ridiculousness of such a mighty combination of circum stances centering on one poor ship as had foregathered to crush the Kansas. Ever since he was aroused from sleep by the stopping of the screw his mind bad dwelt on the unprecedented nature of the breakdown. Even before be dis covered its cause he was wondering what evil chance had contrived to crip ple the engine at such a moment in the worst possible place on the map Joey," he said suddenly, bis thoughts reverting to a chance remark made to him in Valparaiso by Isobel's father,. "what did Mr. Baring mean by saying there was a difficulty about the Insurance?" Joey gave it up, but he cocked his ears and looked toward the door. Chrlstobal entered. "Boyle will recover," he said when he had wiped the spray off his face, ne had a narrow escape. The knife Just grazed the spinal cord. The shock to the dorsal nerves Induced temporary paralysis, and that rather misled me. He is much better now. Under ordinary conditions be would be able to get about In a few days. As it is, he will probably live as long as any of us. Christobal waved a hand toward the external void. He was not sailor enough to realize the change In the weather. "That is good news," said Courtenay. "I thought you would like to know, How are things up here?" Better. The barometer has riser an Inch In less ban two hours. Possibly nearness to the land has some effect, but wind and ea asv subsiding. "You surprise me, yet that is noth ing. I have had several surprises to night What Is the position? Of course we mut bit the South Amerl can continent sooner or later. Can you fix an approximate time?" "We are making about six knots, I fancy. If we are lucky and avoid any stray rocks wp should see daylight be fore we reach the coast That is our sole hope. The ship is In a powerful tidal current- and It is high water at S:30 a. ra.' At a rough estimate Han over Island is twenty knots distant Now you know all. The outcome la mere jmess jy.ork. . ."Why A the furnaces blow tip?" "I was ctc's examining Joey on that point when you came In. He reserved his opinion. My own, view Is that by accident or design, some explosive sub stance found Its way Into the coal. "Shem. Ham and Japheth! Explosive substance. - Do you mean dynamite or gunpoTvdr or that sort of thing?" "Something of the kind. That Is only a.eiyositton, but when I whisper ed It to Walker he agreed, "Walker! Is he the man who speaks bo queeriy?' "If you ever go to Newcastle, don't put It that way. I told him to take Miss Maxwell to her cabin. Did be do so?" "Yes. , I have not seen her since, so I assutL', that the bromide plus the wine wife effective. Well, I must re turn, to Iny patients. Can I get yoa anythl:. ? ; I am storekeeper, you know.! ' - "No, thanks. "Nceing to eat or drink?" -"Nothing. I shall be ready for a square meal when I am able to come below, not before. f . - Christobal smiled. Though he was a brave man, he thought such persistent optimism was out of place. Neverthe less he could emulate Conrtenay's cool ness. . :- ' " "Let me know when you are ready. I am 6tt excellent cook," be said. TbW the captain of the Kansas re- sumeu ills smoking and humming, with 1 occasional glances at the clock and tie compass and the barometer. At 2 ; under the wheel! The eo'mpafis shbw ied that she was heading a couple of points eastward. He helped her and telephoned Instantly to Walker: 'Go forward and try If ' you can make out anything.- Report to me here." ; 'Aye, aye, sir!" came the reply, and ! anon Walker appeared. 'It's main thick ahead, sir, but I i think we-aw passin an island to port, said be. "I thought so. You had better re main here. Walker. We have not long to wait now for the dawn, and four eyes are better than two." Walker Imagined that the skipper was ready for a chat. - ' 'Things are iu a dweadful mess be low, sir. I can't make head or tall of the smash." 'Well, that must wait Don't talk. Kleep a sharp lookout." The engineer could not guess that the captain's pulse was beating a trifle more rapidly with a certain elntion. They were undoubtedly passing White Horse island. It revealed Its presence by deflecting the tremendous Bea river which ferried the Kansas onward at such a rate. In fifteen or twenty min utes Courtenay expected to find Indica tions of n more northerly set of the tide, and he watched the compass In tently for the first sign of this return to the former course. If the ship cross ed the current one way or the other she would certainly be driven- ashore on some outlying spur of the island or detached sunken reef; hence he must actually guess his way, with some thing of the acquired sense of the blind, because the slight chance of ulti mate escape for the ship and her occu pants rested wholly on the assumption that some ocean byway was leading her to a deep water inlet, where It might be possible to drop the anchor. In eighteen minutes or thereabouts the needle moved slightly. Courtenay once more assisted the ship with the helm. She steadied herself, and the ccrapass pointed due northeast again. Walker, though an engineer, knew enough of navigation to rseognlze the apparent Impossibility of the captain 'Uy OodxW-ah on thi vcockt ! " being able to steer with any real knowledge of his surroundings. The wheel twisting therefore savored of magic. But his orders were to look ahead, and he obeyed. Soon he thought he, could discern an Irregular pink crescent, with the con cave side downward, somewhere in the blackness beyond the bows. Speedily It was- joined by two others equally irregular and somewhat lower. "Captain, d'ye see yon?" he asked In a voice tremulous with awe. "Yes. --That is the sun Just catching the summits of snow topped bills. It not only foretells the dawn, but Is a sign of fiTte weather. There are no clouds over the land or we should not see the peaks." Ere long a silver gray light began to dispel the. gloom. - Jhe - two silent watchers first saw it overhead, and the vast dome of day . Bwiftly widened over the vexed sea. T'ae aftermath of the storm spread a ln, C- nse cloak or vapor all round. The wind had fallen so greatly that they could hear the song of the rigging.. Soon they could distinguish the outlines of the heavy rollers near at band, and Courtenay believed that the ship in her passage encountered In the water several nar row bands of a bright red color. If this were so, he knew that the phe nomenon was caused by the prawn like Crustacea which sailors call "whale food," a Bure sign of deep wa ter close to land and, further, an Indi cation that the current was still flow ing strongly, while the force of the sea must have been broken many miles to westward. Suddenly lie turned to Walker. "Dotyoa think you could fihln np to the masthead?" be asked. . "I used to be able to climb a bit, sir." "Well, try the foremast tip there I am fairly certain you can see over this bank of mist Don't get Into trouble. Come back If you feel you can't man age it. If yon succeed, take the best observations possible and report Courtenay was becoming anxious now. If he dared let go the wheel he , would have climbed the mast himself. I Walker set about his mission in a ' businesslike manner. . He threw off his thick coat and' boots and went for ward. Halfway up the mast there was a rope ladder for the use of the sailors when adjusting pulleys. The rest of the journey was not dlffl ' cult for an athletic man, and Walker was quickly an Indistinct figure In the fog. He gained the truck all right and instantly yelled something. Courtenay fancied he said: "My .God, wje-ftj) pn .tlifi.iCQCJiflC-i . Dieting is starvation, to an extent Your body re quires many kinds of food, and to limit the variety means to rob some part. Eat' what you need of the food that you want, for Kodol will surely digest it. . Leave the cure of Dyspepsia to Nature. But give Nature a chance. Stop the pain immediately, for pain means that undigested food is irritating the stomach lining. And that lining, which is always inflamed in dys pepsia, will never get right while it is constantly irritated. Stop the formation of gas, which comes from fermenting food. Stop the impurity which Is fed to the blood by the food that decays. Supply your self with plenty of nourishment. For recovery de pends on gaining more strength, and on letting the stomach rest All that is done by Kodol by digesting the food that you eat For Kodol is a perfect digester. You will say, perhaps, that you have tried di gesters before. But you are mistaken. You may have tried pepsin, but pepsin digests only albumen. You may have tried any of numer ous preparations which digest part of the food. But Kodol alone digests all of the food. It is the only way to do all that the digestive organs can do, when they are perfectly strong. And the results are immediate. Kodol is liquid, like the digestive juices. Its action begins as soon as It enters the stomach. , You don't want to always depend on artificial digesters. We understand that But you must help the stomach while the stom ach needs help. Else it will always need it If you sprain your ankle you must use a crutch tor a time. You relieve the ankle until it gets strong. It would never get strong U you did not Whatever it' was," Walker " did nol wait, but slid downward with such speed that it was fortunate the rig ging barred his progress. And then, even while Courtenay was shouting some explanation, a great black wall rose out of the deep on the port bow. It was a pinnacle rock high as the ship's masts, but only a few feet wide at sea level, and the Kansas sped past this ugly monitor as though it were a buoy in a well marked chan nel. Courtenay heard the sea breaking against it. The ship could not have been more than, sixty feet distant a little more than her own beam, aud be fully expected that she would grind against some outlier in the next iu Btant But the Kansas had a charmed life. She ran on unscathed and seem ed to be traveling in smoother water after this escape. Walker's dark skin was the color of parchment when he reached the chart house. "Captain," he said weakly, "I'll do owt wl' engines, but I'm no good at this geme. That thing fairly banged me. Did ye see It?" "Did you see land?" demanded Cour tenay imperatively. His spirits rose with each of these thrills. He felt that It was ordained that his ship should live. "Yes, sir. ,The-aw's bills, and bis ones, a long way ahead, but I'm no' golSs' up that mast again. It would be julcitte. I'm done. I'll nev-ah fo-get you Etone ghost no, not if I live to be ninety . (To be Continued.) Chamberlain's Cough Remedy is Both Agreeable and Effective.

Let the stomach rest for a time, just as you must rest when you wish to recuperate. That Is all that is necessary and all that you can do. Kodol alone contains all the digestive elements. And they are there in sufficient strength. A tablespoonful, taken after a meal, is enough to digest it completely. This has often been proved by adding Kodol to food in a test tube. Keep the food moving, and keep the temperature right, just as the stomach does. Any sort of food, or any combination of foods, will be completely digested. Pepsin alone won't do that. Other digesters, won't do it The only way to possibly do this is by the use of Kodol. Our Guarantee You may prove, without the risk of a penny, what Kodol can do.
