There was something ghastly , ironical In the complacence of the other smugly inviting his own death. \What are you going to do with me?\ he demanded abruptly. \Nothing!\ said Laynton airily. \Nothing—until we get there, except to give you a chance to see the real life aboard the ship and let you form your own conclusions as to whether you'd better open up or not.\ \And then?? asked Wallea quietly. \And then,\ said Laynton musingly, \If you haven't pried your Jaws open by that time, I'll take that eleven hum dred dollars back and trice you up for a taste of the cat ; and if that don't work I'll turn you over to the crew, you and that Indian pal of yours. and let them settle with you for the Kanaktes mut\ der.\ \You're mad!\ said Wallen again. \And of course,\ added Laynton. pouring rum for himself deliberately, \If you make any troubre meanwhile. I ain't saying what'll happen.\ Wallen, his face set, turned slowly toward the door. Captain Laynton raised his glass. \Here's a pleasant voyage to Arm— Mr. Wallen!\ he said—and laughed as the liquor qurgied down his throat. CHAPTER VIII. Backs to the Wall. \One two, three, four\ — Wallet) Counted the strokes. Four bells! Six o'clock. Astern, in a wonderful glow of rose and pink' tinged- - clouds -1 he sun - was_ sinking ; ahead, low on the horizon. but opening rapidly, like a penciled 'line on the smooth plane of the sea, showed the land—the coast line of Arru! And away off to port, like tiny dots, he rould make out a group of islands. All the night before, all that day. flguring as accurately as he could by dead reckoning and the help Captain Laynton had unwittingly given tutu, he had calculated they would not do any more than Just about sight Arm by four bells. Ile had staked every- thing on—four bells. So far he had been right! Was it a good augury— for what was to come! Creeping past the corner of the wireless house on the starboard side, he caught the flutter of Gunga's loose white garments for an Instant—and then he turned and looked aft. Al- ways careful to`avoid ills proximity, Helen MacKay was pacing up and down the deck. Would she never go below! . He had waited until the' last minute. risked more than he cared to. contemplate that it might be supper time. Ordi- narily she went below ten or fifteen minutes before meals, and he had cdunted on that too—that she would be below. And now by some ironical perversity she appeared to be waiting for the sup- per bell to ring. A Jangled, drunken chorus of song rose from the forecastle; the discord disgustingly assertive as a voice, a little more inebrinted than the rest, at- tempted a maudlin teller part. Wallen glanced quickly at the girl. There was a look iii her face that he had detected once or twice before In the, three days that were gone when she had thought Vie was unobserved— gray look, that brought a pitiful weariness to the eyes. Walien's lips moved silently, grittily. Ile smiled bitterly. Perhaps of her own Record, In another minute now, the next time she reached the lounging room entrance, site would go below—if Amair he asked her to, she would probably only remain where she was! Where was Gunge now? Lnynton's cunning had been Machia- vellian in allowing Gunge and himself - a pseudo freedom after disarming them! They had had an opportunity to see—and Were was no d011bt the moral status of the crew. The Monleig11 was a floating hell I '1'lle days and nights hall been pe- riods of blasphemy, riming and drunk- enness, until the Foal WI1S sIck With it, until he knew that, failing to lead them to what did not exist, in. would receive short a shrift 'as would lie atmeriled be a mad ilog--until It must have rung terror and awful dread to her, the woman whose love lie had theught lie had awakened in response to his own, only to stand in her eyes as 11 blemi-stained murderer. a schem- ing impostor, to Ile held HS a fouler thing than the brutes around her, as the greeter of the two evils!

There seemed only one explanation -- a desperate hope Mgt she might, In her extremity, have someone to de- pend upon, and was blind to the fear. fel irony of the fart that the man she ••hose was the one she had most need Ii, fear. She knew that they were no longer bound for Sumatra. She knew that Captain Imynton had lied when ha told her to answer that message and state that he was returning at once to Singapore. She knew what Laynton A Look in Her Face He Had Detected Once or Twice Before. was after, for, on discovering a few hours after that message was sent thnt there was no Singapore in sight, as there should hove been If Laynton had put about, she had listened, if without comment. to Gunga's story. As for the rest. the days had been each one like some grim specter hover- ing over him, gibbering at him—point- ing at her. A sort of horrible facetious pleasantry had reigned in the cabin. Captain Laynton was \coaxing\ still. Each clay he had offered Wallen sui- gestively the third officer's berth again. On hie plate at earl' meal he found the'ship's position marked down on a little card. The days, as Laynton had intended they should, had done away with all supposition or doubt on that score. And now they were off Arru and that \moment\ was upon him, and—would she never go below? Front forward, tinder the bridge, Gunge peered cautiously around the corner of the captain's cabin, drew hack as Helen IllacKey turned in her restricted walk to fnce in that direc- tion, and then as site wheeled again, pacing toward the stern, he darted un- der the bridge ladder that was oppo- site and within a yard of the captain's door. The next instant he bail slippei like a slindow into Lityntott's cabin. Wallen's hot ad upon the rail gripper tightly as his tarsi set white and hen as chiseled marble. What would thi next .few minutes bring? Death—for himself and Gunge? 'PII, they were men; he dared to hope they were men enough to face if like men. But for her it was not death; it was worse than death. - Lemon's words addressed to Mott that he had overheard the night before had rang ever since ilke doom In his ears: \You keep your paws off the girl until we've got what we want out eat that 11111StillerallIllg swine or I'll bash your face into Jelly. lie's sweet on her, and he's .the kind of fool along those lines it ain't wise to stir up until we have to. You mind what I say, Mott! Afterward—\ Wallen hadn't heard any more; but it was aitnost that \afterward\ now unless—his eyes were straining forward, and suddenly It seemed as though ills heart-beat stopped. Captain Laynton, starting abruptly to leave the bridge, stepped onto the ladder and halted near the top like a man stunned—as Gunge at the same Institut emerged from the cabin. Then, with a bellow of rage - and Hie agility of a cat, Laynton swung him- self under the handrall, leaplugtor the deck. And Gunga's shout rang out: \Quick Habib! I have got them! Run, sahib—run!\ A second sometimes spans an eter- nity; and it seemed to \Yellen that he lived It then as he sprang across the deck. Mott, from the bridge, was hurling himself down the ladder. Gunge was racing aft like a deer, with Laynton, screaming blasphemy, in pursuit. Anil Helen MacKay was standing as If turned to stone by the lounging room entrance as Wallen reached her. \Run below!\ he gasped out. \Quick ! lido the saloon!\ Site did nut move. 'fitere was no time to sloth again, to argue, to ask, Iii plead. Ile snatelted her up into his arms anal plunged through the door- wny. The sharp, vicious hark of a revol- ver idiot (mimed behind him; and (We- pt called again: \Go on, sahib! Co on!\ She was screaming In his arms. pounding madly at his face with her doubled fists, struggling with all the strength of her lithe young body to free herself as lie reeled and staggered down the companionway. Shouts and the mound of racing feet along the decks came from every- tvliere now, fore and aft. A face loomed tip before him as he reached the bottom and a form blocked his way. It was the Frem•it steward from l'ort Said. Millen crashed Into the man. The steward went hack against the bulkhend—and was hurled from this In the floor as Gunge, behind, with the spring of a wildcat. leaping front the top to the bottom of the companion- way, struck him in turn. A moment more and they were in the saloon, the three of them, and Millen had set Helen MacKay upon her feet—and his back was against the locked door. Still another montent and Gunge was running buck across the saloon carrying the door of Wel- len's cabin that the night before Ikey had loosened from its hinges. It fitted, as their measurements had promised them it would tit, at it riglil angle, a solid, substuntial brace, be- tween the saloon door 111111 the iron base of the swivel chair at the end of the dining table. And now there was a rush along the alleyways and down the companion- way, and a crash upon the door, a chorus of yells and oaths—another rush against the door. Gunge was holding out two revol- vers In his hands. \They do not know yet that we are armed. sahib.\ he 811111 'grimly. \Shall I fire through the door—to kill?\ And then Wallen laughed unnat- urally as he took one of the weapons from Gunga's hands. It haul heen for that that Gunge had gone to the cap- tain's cabin. One they had hoped to get—and Gunge had got two. And this one was his own, and he had ammuni- tion in plenty in his enhin that lie had bought in Singapore. that they 411(1 not know he lind. And he laughed again— and fired. There was a sudden scurrying of feet to right and left along the alley- way without, a renewed chores of shouts rind oaths; but an abrupt, even surprised cessation of attack upon the door—though he hail tired only at the floor. Ile turned to Helen MacKay, where she was• standing erect, white-faced, her hair, loosened in her struggle with him, streaming over her shoul- ders. one small white hand now hold- ing her little silver -chased automatic ut lwr side. \Miss MacKay,\ lie burst out, \please move to one side of the cabin.

But there was no immediate rush. Helen MacKay spoke. \Behind the woman's skirts!\ Her lips were curling, her voice low, the words a whiplash that cut to the raw. \So! Is that the reason for this?\ , \By God,\ he cried hoarsely, step- ping toward her, passion, bitter hurt, a Mall insistence of his love upon him, that lknew no barriers, no restrictions of tiine or place or circumstance, the cry of his soul for Justice demanding nitenince, \you shall not talk to me like that!

If volunteer wheat starts kill it bycli sking or plowing _while it is still young. Postpone sowing winter wheat until the aafe date — sq that none of the plants will appear above ground until after the flies have died. Sowing on this date usually 'insures largest yields in seasons ' of normal rainfall. Consult your county agent or State Agricultural College regarding the safe sowinidatm for our reitiOn. (Prepared by the United States Depart- ment of Agriculture.) Serious injury to the winter wheat crop of 1920 by the Hessian fly seems extremely probable. Reports received by the United States department qf agriculture entomological experts in the Mississippi basin -winter wheat re- gion indicate a rapid increase of the hessian fly In that Important wheat - growing district. These reports show that considerable young wheat already has been killed by the Hessian fly, and that serious losses to the crop of 1920 are almost certain. Unless winter wheat growers east of the Rocky mountains can be induced to unite In a concerted movetnent to observe the approved methods of com- bating the Hessian fly during the sum- mer and fall of 1920, It seems that n disastrous general outbreak of the pest very probably will occur in 1921. A shortage of farm labor and unfa- vorable weather conditions at planting time have combined to influence many wheat growers in planting their grain too early In the season. This has re- sulted in a heavy Infestation of Hes- sian fly in practically all of this early planted wheat. Damage Feared in East. A dangerously heavy infestatiot. of Hessian fly also exists in the Piedmont plain wheat regions lying east of the Appalachian mountains nail embracing Maryland, VirginIn and eastern Penn- sylvania. Complaints of serious Hes- sian fly damage In that region have already begun to be heard, and there Is at present every indication that early -sown whent in these states will he considerably if not seriously re- duced In yield this year. There Is no remedy for the Hessian fly when once It takes possession of fi crop of wheat. Grain that is so heav- ily' Infested as to afford little promise - of a profitable yield should be deeply plowed down 'and lightly harrowed as early in the spring as Is practicable. This should be done by March 1, if possible, Si) as to bury the stubble, and prevent a large part of the flies, from issuing and reltifesting other fields of grow -hag wheat or barley. The land may then be planted to oats,' core or other Immune, quick -growing crops, so as to avoid II complete loss Of profit from the land during the current year How to Fight the Fly. The methods for combating the Hes t sinn fly are, In brief, as follows: , 1. Practice crop rotation.. Do pot sow wheat on stubble if it Is possillie to avoid doing so. 2. Plow under all infested Stubble, where possible, soon -after harvest. 3. Destroy all volunteer Wheat by harrowing, disking, plowing or !gene other method. 4. Plow all land to be lownto wheat as early and deeply as, existing condi- tions permit, and, prepare a thoroughly pulverized and compacted seedbed. 5. Conserve moisture against a pe- riod of drought at seeding time. ' • 6. Use good seed. 7. Fertilize. R. Sow wheat during the fly -free pe- riod as advised by your farm advisor or state experiment station. Adhere to these practices every year whether the fly is abundant or scarce.

IDENTIFY VARIETIES OF SWEET POTATOES Department of Agrloulture Is Working Out a Key. It is Based on Color, Size and Shape of Stems and Leaves and In Qual- ity of Tubers Themselves— Results Promising. The United States department of ag- riculture is working out a key by means of which varieties of sweet po- tatoes can be Identified. altere has always been a great deal of confusion regarding sweet potato varieties, and this key will make it possible to posi- tively identify all true varieties. It Is based on the color, size and shape of the stems and leaves, and on the color, size and quality of the potatoes themselves. That the key works ts attested by the fact that by Its use varieties described at the time Colum- bus discovered America have been Identified. The development of varieties Of sweet potatoes for stock. feed. sirup', starch and sugnr making is under way,' and the preliminary resultaesectired In- dicate that the' possibilities of the sweet potato have hardly been touched upon. It is yet too soon to say just what may be expected from this woOr. but the results thus far secured are tery promising. This work is Wag done 'at Arlington Farm, Va., and. at the Pee Dee experltnent station, Flor- ence, S. C. Inveltigntional work In curing sweet potatoes has also brought out impor- tant - results. It was shown that with proper handling in storage conditions sweet potatoes can be carried through the winter and as late R8 April 1 with not more than 1 per cent of loss from decay. LEARNi OF W•I0 VARIETIES - ; Result of CompreheesIve Survey Made by United:Stites Del:met/pant of Agriculture. For the first time tbe .1 11 afori of. wheat growing In America It will soon be possible to map the distribution of wheat varieties and to learn the large ntimber of names under which the same varieties are known in different parts of the country. This result has been made possible by a comprehensive survey of varieties made by the Untied - States department of agrlealture.. through the bureau of plant industry and the bureau of crop estimates work- ing in co-operation. Schedules were sent.to about 65.000 crop reporters to determine the distribution of wheat varieties, the„,iource frotn whIch•they came, the deq\st their lutroduction Into the community, the percentage which each represents of the -total wheat acreage in the community. The returned schedules have been sttidied and about a thousand letters of In- quiry have been sent asking for addl. tional information and samples.
