CHAPTER XXVIII.
A Maniac on Board.
The horror with which she looked
Into tn.v face held me speechless. Could
it he possible thut she suspected, knew,
the perpetrator of this crime—thut she
sought to shield him?
“You searched the cabin? \rou found
no one?”
“Only Dade sound asleep in the
’steward’s stateroom. I awoke him,
and left him on watch below.”
“There was no one hiding In any of
the staterooms? You tried the doors?”
“They were all empty. Mr. P.as
coin s door was tne omy one locseo.
“You—you made him open?”
“No; why disturb him?”
She drew a quick breath, her eyes
on my face.
"You—you have not seen Philip lias
com lately?”
"No, not since we had supper to
gether.”
“You saw nothing strange then in his
actions, or words?”
“Why nothing that I remarked. He
seemed about as usual; more haggard,
and nervous possibly, hut he spoke
cheerfully enough. What can you
mean?”
“Oh, I do not really know; perhaps I
ought not to say such a thing. I meant
to have spoken to you about it before,
but so much hnpp 'tied, I forgot. 1—I
suspect Philip liascom Is Insane.”
“Insane! Good heavens! why do you
say that?”
"He has talk* d to me so strangely.
He—he frighten d me, and I was hard
ly able to quiet him.”
“And you -uspect he killed Dubois?”
“Who else could It have been?”
There was no answer possible. Every
other man on board was ulready ac
counted for. The truth was borne in
upon me Irresistibly. I called Leayord.
The mate thrusi his head over the
forwurd rail.
“I)o you know If Musters Is In the
engl ueroom ?”
"1 think he Is, sir.”
“Then cull down, and have him
&
send "While on deck immediaTely ; and
puss the word forward to have Mr. Ol
son come here.”
"Aye, aye, sir; Is there anything
wrong?”
"I will explain presently; just now I
want you to remain in charge of the
deck.”
Olson arrived first, and I barely had
time to tell him briefly what had oc
curred, when White emerged through
the deck opening and reported, his
eyes blinking in the bright light, and
Ids fnee grimy with coal.
“You wanted me, sir?” he asked,
with no Muster in the gruff voice.
“Aye, White; you possess the
strength and nerve for this sort of job.
Miss Carrington here suspects that
the owner of this ship has lost his
| mind. I just found Dubois lying on
:he cabin deck murdered—’’
“Dubois, sir?”
“Yes; he had been stabbed in the
back.”
“And you believe the owner did it?”
"There is no one else on board who
; -ould. He is locked in his stateroom,
land we’ve got to get him out. Como
I led the way down the stairs in no
pleasant frame of mind. An insane
I man running free aboard, animated by
i desire to kill, added to my other re
sponsibilities, increased our dangers
I nanifold. The cabin seemed so dark
I tfter the brightness of the deck above,
j hat I grasped the stair rail ar.d ad
vanced abrupt blindly. I had reached
, he center of the cabin before my eyes
! llseerned that there were two bodies
jut stretched on the deck instead of
)ne. I Involuntarily shrank back, grip
.ping the sleeve of White's shirt, and
pointing.
“Look here! there are two bodies;
ie—he 1ms gotten 1 >ade also.”
The sailor sprang past me, and
Iropped to his knees.
“Aye, it’s Dade, and the poor cuss
is done for, sir—it’3 another knife
thrust in the hack.”
“And no longer any doubt who did
it,” echoed Olson, “for there’s not an
sther man aboard been aft.”
“Bight you are,” 1 said, gripping my
self ready to act. “And we must get
aim at once. Come on, both of you;
f there’s a fight it may take the three
af us. He lias a knife, and there was
l gun In ids drawer."
The door of Bascom’s stateroom was
dosed, and I grasped the knob with no
thought it would yield to my fingers.
But it dl 1, and I almost fell forward
nto the room, catching myself, and j
staring about. 'The last gleam of the :
sun streamed in through the stern j
I ports, and every object within was
I dearly revealed at a glance. The man
was not there. I drew back the cur

I Almost Fell Forward Into the Room.
^ tains concealing the bath, but the space
was empty; only one of the round
ports was partially open, the aperture
: far too small to admit the passage of a
hotly. The bed had not been slept In,
and was neatly made; one drawer of
! the desk stood open, and papers were
scattered on the rug beneath; a ehalr
was overturned on the deck ; a chest in
one corner had been rummaged, its
j contents flung aside. My eyes fell on
White, his mouth open, his face gro- j
tesque in its coating of coal dust.
"Hanged if he ain’t got away, sir,”
i he blurted out, “but he never went
I overboard through that port—a cat
! couldn’t ha’ done it.”
"No, he’s aboard all right,” I coln
] elded. “Hut where? and for what pur
pose? There is no knowing what a
man in ids state of mind may do. Hood
heavens! he could wreck the ship, (let
a light, White—take the cabin lantern.
Olson and 1 will have to look behind
i these doors first, and then we’ll ex
i plore between decks.”
We found nothing, not the slightest
I trace of the fugitive. Beyond doubt he
lmd gone forward, either seeking to
escape, or with the thought that he
could attain the deck through some
ouenlna amldshlos. f wn« cool enn.ooi
by now to realise the peril we faced
hetween docks, onrchlng fur the mad
man, whom . e might encounter :it any
moment.
"Kim on deck, White,” 1 ordered,
‘‘and pick up a couple of marling
spikes. 1 have ;t revolver. Tell .Mr.
Leayord the situation, aid have him
keep his eyes open. Better have him
warn McCann, and Miss Carrington
had best remain near the wheel until
we get our hands on this fellow. Hurry
hack now.”
Olson and I remained motionless,
'•nr eyes on the black opening leading
forward, the dim rays of the lantern
Jailing on the ghastly faces of the two
dead men outstretched on the deck. It
was a grewsome spot, and my heart
v as heating like n triphammer. I made
sure my revolver was loaded, dropping
the weapon Into a jacket p cket. White
rejoined its, grasping the spikes, one
of which he passed over to Olson, who
tested the weight In his hand.
“Quiet ns a .Tune mornin’ up there,
sir,” tie announced, squinting about.
“There ain’t nobody seen r.uthin’ of no
maniac. I reckon yer better let Olson
carry the lantern, so you and I can ho
sorter free to grip the chap; we’re big
ger than the mate.”
“From what I’ve seen of Olson he’ll
do his share of the lighting,” I an
swered, knowing the Swede to he hot
tempered, a.\d touchy about his size.
“However, one will have to carry it.”
“It’s all right, sir.” said Olson quiet
ly. “I ll hold the glim, but if that big
duffer doesn’t stand up to the job, I'll
bust glass an’ all over his head."
We certainly made a thorough search
of it. I doubt if a slrav rat cot hv us
withrut being seen, but from the nfter
cahin to the engineroorn ladder we
found no truce of Rascom; no indica
tion even that he h!id ever passed that
way. The effort to locate Rnsooin’s
hiding place was absolutely vain—the
■mming of the madman overcame our
liligence nr.l wit: he had disappeared
is though swallowed by the sea, leav
ng not so much ns a clue behind.
Beyond the hole leading to the en
ginerniun below, our advances were
blocked by a steel bulkhead, water
tight. pierced by a single door, to be
sure, hut this was closed and locked
securely. “Is there any eommtmlea
tion between tin* forecastle and the
hold. White?” I asked, staring helpless
ly at the steel barrier.
“No. sir; the fo’castle is all above
lock.”
“How was this door manipulated? Do
either of you know?”
“Well, I had charge o’ loadin’ the
after-hold, sir,” and Olson scratched
!us head trying to remember. “That
door never was opened but once, when
Cnptuia Hadley tested it before we left
Baltimore, or maybe after we got out
in the Chesapeake. I think it wus
Hollis.”
“That is the usual arrangement, but
there Is a slot here for a key; still the
door is steel, and it looks too heavy for
any one man to operate.”
I leaned over, ami looked down into
the lighted eugireroom at the bottom
of the shaft. All I could see was a
great wheel steadily turning. •
"Mfcstcrs.”
The engineer stopped into view, and
peered up into the darkness; he ap
peared burly and shapeless.
“That you, captain?”
“Yes. Baseom, the owner, has gone
crazy, and lias hidden himself some
where on board.”
“Well, I'll be swamped 1 Can’t you
find him?”
“Not yet; we’ve searched every place
aft. lie hasn't visited you?”
“Not to my knowledge, Tony is back
in the tireroom; I'll ask him.”
The three of us clung to the ladder
gazing down, the light from the lantern
revealing our faces. Masters was not
gone a moment, but his voice had
i-huuged.
“'I'..,..I." 11 —i — —
opened an’ shut frurn
:'itedly. “lie’s lying on the coal in
tunc!.or one hanker, cut in the back
with a knife.”
The words were not out of his
mouth before we were scrambling
down. But our haste gained us noth
ing. The only trail Bascora had left
was the dead Italian, stretched out in
ihe half emptied coal bunker, his lips
closed forever. It was a knife thrust
which had killed him—just such a
thrust as had done for his two mates
in the cabin above; but the madman
Imd disappeared. However, here was
proof positive that the fellow was still
on hoard ; still hiding between decks,
lie had not reached the open, or flung
himself into the sea. Masters could
tell tis nothing; he had heard no
sound, seen no shadow. He had' been
oiling the machinery, and a man could
have slipped down the ladder unob
served, and escaped again in the same
way. There was no other entrance to
the enginexoom; the forward bulkhead
was solid: there were two ventilator
shafts, but neither was large enough
for the passage of a man’s body, and
the coal chute was kept closed and
locked at sea. Nevertheless I had these
examined, determined to take no
chances, and our lantern penetrated
every inch of the engineroom and coal
bunkers. At the end, utterly baffled,
White gave vent to an oath.
“It 1) aits me, sir,” he confessed
hoarsely, “unless it’s a Spook we’re
a huntin' for.”
“I wish It was; the trouble is it Is
a man. and a mighty dangerous one.
Well, he's not down here, and ho must
have gone back by way of the ladder.
The fellow has either found seme
means of getting into the hold, or else
he’s managed to slip on deck and per
haps is hidden In the forecastle—no
one messes there now?"
“No. sir."
“Then let’s have a look up above;
come on. men."
“Yer ain’t goin’ ter leave me down

' “Granny” Chamberlain . . , , , , , .
1 am often asked why Chamberlain s Cough
Remedy is best for babies. Well, there are several reasons:
First: It is perfectly harmless and can be given with every
confidence to the youngest or most delicate child. S
Secondly : It contains no alcohol, opium, chloroform, mor
phine or any other narcotic.
Thirdly: Children like it, and no persuasion is needed to
get them to take it.
For the above reasons alone it is impossible to get a better
medicine for babies than
Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy
But aside from its safety it relieves coughs and colds, is the
best remedy known for croup, and when given as soon as the
croupy cough appears it will even prevent the attack."
Ojou/l^ JoV 7JuJil ■—
doted Masters anxiously, “with Tonj
\iiiir' dead in there, an’ a murderer
prowlin’ about?”
“He’ll not be down here ngnln. but 1
suppose you must have a fireman—
White, you better stay.”
“’Tain’t no job I like, sir; I shov
eled coal here already for eight hours.”
“I’ll tackle It. sir.” interrupted Ol
son quietly. “That bis; boob would
throw a lit down hero every time he
saw a shadow. After you get those
hatches off send him in on top or the
cargo. There'd he no danger o’ his
gettin’ hurt If Ituscom was a hidin’
there.”
“Yer a dirty liar! I ain’t no more
afraid than you are!”
“Then why don't you stay here?”
“I’m plumb tired out shovelln’,”
“That will do, men,” I broke In
j sternly. “There will be work enough.
I and maybe fighting enough for both of
you. As long ns you have volunteered,
Olson, you may take a turn down here,
and White will go with me. Keep a
sharp eye out, you men below."
The two of us clambered tip the Iron
ladder, the sailor with the lantern In
fils hand, the marling spike thrust Into
Ills belt. I tested the bulkhead door
again as we came to It, but It seemed
as solid as the steel wall Itself, and
thoroughly satisfied that It had not
been opened sluee the ship sailed, we
mounted to the open deek.

Garbage Dumps Unsanitary.
Not a few cities dump their garbage
upon plots of land located usually in
outskirts of the city. This is not dis
posal at all, but simply the placing or
removal of filth from one locality to
another. One health authority has
this to say In regard to dumping gar
bage on the outskirts:
“Whole groups of zymotic diseases
are traceable to ground conditions.
When, as in some parts, soils are com
posed of an accumulation of decaying
matters from Hie city, the building of I
I houses over it may conceal but cannot I
[ destroy the contamination. More or
' less of the foul air must find Its way
out of the soil and endanger the health
of the people living upon it.’’

WOMAN'S WORK.
Under the department of Woman’s Work are listed all of
these articles so necessary for the recovery of the wounded and
the comfort of the convalescent.
Red Cross work shops through the country are busily engaged
turning out great quantities of the various types of surgical dress
ings so badly needed in the field dressing stations and base hospi
tals abroad. These dressings are made with the utmost care in
hygienic surroundings and in their preparation are occupying the
time of hundreds of thousands of women in the larger cities
throughout the country. There can be no f-ar of an oversupply of
hospital dressings and t*ie need for them will become more and
more imperative as the military operations are commenced with
renewed vigor in the spring. There is also an urgent demand for
many articles which come under the heading of hospital garments,
directions for the making of which are herewith appended. These
articles can be made in the home, or in the church, as wome n

New York.—It would be odd If the
edict for elimination of waste material
In clothes that haq gone forth from
the governing factors In dress on borti
continents, would be responsible for
the Incoming of the bustle.
So far as the expert observer can
see Into the near future of autumn
costumery which Is now being planned,
Bhown and bought, the only actual
elimination of material i6 in the width
of the skirt.
There Is little sense In being obstin
ate about the width of skirts; they’re

Flemish lines. The material Is heavy
crepe satin, with girdle of cloth of
gold. The bodice and train are em
Qroidered in Flemish design. The lin
ing of the train is gold-brown velvet.
going to be narrow, and it Is quite
as well that dkessumkers and women
aeeept this fact without cavil.
Once before in the history of clothes
there was a tight /dcirt which was said
to have been cauaed by the Civil war
In America. It became the fashion ^
after Appomattox and remained In -
fashion for a de<»* and a half after
ward. It was «>;<> caused by the ne
cessity for economy in material, us the
four years’ war had nearly exhausted
the commodities of this country.
That skirt was called the tie-back.
The front and aides were pulled
across the figure jso that the wearer
could barely step, and rubber bands
were put across the back below the
waistline, to draw the material up
into a series of little puffs. This was
as much of a bustle-sis was permitted.
Peraiatencft Itr Amazing.
The persistence of this fashion has
been an amazing thing to those who
study clothes. origin was in the
fashionable way of walking called the
Grecian bend, wtdch whs the absurd
predecessor of the equally absurd de
butante slouch.
In the days, uf the tie-back skirt,
little girts wiaild secure safety pins
by indirect meatus, and pull thp fullnes*
of their skirts back and up, thus hav
ing a little fluff of their own below the
waist. They were always caught si
this by their mothers and nurses, be
cause the safety pins tore the material
and made caning holes.
Again, in Has (lav of elimination of
waste through Itie necessities of war,
we are to be jmf into the tight skirt
with Its fullness arranged at thq; back
in a series of slijtht flares.
It is not postflble to say with any
degree of certainty whether this skirt
will be widely accepted when file au
tumn comes. Reporting, and tot
prophecy, is the duty of those who try
to give the news of dress as it domes
out week after week.
The American designer, as well as
the French out* has gone in for this
upward tilt of uwterial at the end of
the spine and it may be that the later
fashions will aocontuate it.
Whatever may be the fuljpess,
though, at. anji'. sptftcutl sih^ the
skirt, those who are regardirtf the
question of new clothes must remem
ber thnt the hem will be almost as
narrow as it was in the days of^ the
hobble skirt.
There is a marked tendency toward
the sheath skirt in several of the new
costumes. The material slinks into
the figure after it leaves the^aist,
and the Item provides only a slipping
width.
The shortness of the skirt for street
wear is necessary. In the spring
there was a decided tendency to
