"Lund's right." he told himself.
"She'R not of my breed."
CHAPTER XIII.
Lund's Luck
Lnnd glanced at the geyser of spray
where the shell from the pursuing gun
boat had fallen short, and then at the
hank of mist ahead. They were In tho
narrows of Bering strait, between the
Cape of Charles and Prince Edward's
point, the gold aboard, a full wind In
their soils, making eleven knots'to the
gunboat's fifteen.
The great curtain of fog was a mile
head The last shell had fallen two
hundred yards short. Five minutes
more would settle tt. Hansen had the
wheel. Lund stood by the taffrall, hla
arm about Peggy Slmms. He shook a
fist at the gunboat, vomiting black
smoke from her funnel, foam about
her bows.
"We'll beat 'em yet." he cried.
The next shell, with more elevation,
whined parallel with them, sped attend,
and smashed Into the waves.
"Hold yore course, Hansen 1 No
time to zigzag. Got to chance It. t n
It, they know how to shoot!"
A missile had gone plump through
main and foresails, leaving round holes
to mnrk the score. Another fairly
struck the mnln topmast, and some
splinters onme rattling down, while
the remnants of the top-snll flapped
amid writhing ends of halyard and
sheet.
They entered the beginning of the
fog. curling wisps of It reached out,
twining over the howsprlnt and head
sails, enveloping the,foremnst. swallow.
Ing the schooner as n hurtling shell
crashed Into the stern. The next ln
stant the mist had sheltered them.
Lund released the girl and jumped to
the wheel.
"Now then" he shouted, "we'll
fool 'rail" He gripped the spokes,
and the men ran to the sheets
at command while the Karluk shot off
at right angles to her previous course,
skirting the fog that blanketed tho
wind but yet allowed sufficient breeza
to filter through to give them headway,
gliding like n ghost on the new tack
to the east.
Italney, tenp from the explosion of
the shell, Jumped below nt last and
came bnck exultant.
"! i- a dud, I. mid!" he shouted.

The booming of the gunboat's for

After co-operating Tor several years
with indifferent success, Missouri
fruit growers, in the Ozarka, this year
centered their cooperative marketing
on strawberries and shipped about
3.800 cars with marked profit to the
growers and satisfaction to all con
ccrned. When It comes to co-operating
successfully, it must be one pro
duct or one crop at a time.
Ticks Getting Scarce
Choctaw County will be removed
this fall from the area quarantined
on account of the Texas fever tick,
according to Lee Hite, in charge of
the seventy-seven cattle dipping vats
in Choctaw County. Only two infect
ed herds have been found in tho coun
ty so far this summer, Hito said. He
believes that all of the infection will
be stamped out by fall and allow cat
tle to be shipped from here to unin
fected areas.
