CHAPTER XXVII.
A Dead Man in the Cabin.
Tim glimpse wits hut for nn instnnt,
the boat disappearing as It dropped
Into the hollow.
“It’s our own qnnrterhoat,” I an
nounced shortly, endeavoring to keep
my glasses trained on the right spot.
“McCann, and those devils with him."
“Then, shall we stand by, sir?” asked
Leayord. “Why should we be picking
up that scum?”
I glanced aside at him.
“Why, Mr. Leayord? Well, one rea
son is, we arc American seamen. Those
fellows can scarcely hurt us now, and
a hand or two more aboard will help
us to make port. We’ve got to have
firemen below, and Rapello would be
able to spell Masters in the engine
room. I look on their coming as a God
send. Let your helm off another point
—there, steady now; hold her Just ns
she Is.”
Again I caught the boat in the focus
of the leveled glasses; it was measura
bly nearer now, but I could only see
four men aboard the craft, the other
two being White and ltnpello. The
tiller was gone, the man at the stern,
Jim White, steering by means of a
long oar; the sail had been whipped
Into rags, anti a canvas shirt substi
tuted. One man was yp his knees ball
ing furiously, and Tony had an arm In
a sling. So intent was T in this en
deavor to decipher the details of the
tragedy through the glass, I was un
aware that Vera had climbed the lad
der, and now stood beside me, clinging
to the rail. Her voice aroused me to
her presence.
“Why, there are only four of them?"
“Yes; they must have passed through
Hades last night,” I answered. “Here,
take the glass; there are two bodies
lying in the bottom of the boat.”
“Cun you manage the wheel alone
for a hit. .Mr. Leayord?”
“I cun try, sir.”
“Miss Carrington, would you mind
giving the mute a hand?”
She fought her way across to him
without a word, leaving the glass on
the deck.
“Good; hold her as she Is, nnd have
Masters slow down. It is going to ho
j\ ticklish lob to get thoSQ fellows on
board; has anyone* a suggestion?”
“A running noose from the lower
main-yard, sir,” said Olson.
“That will take only one at a time."
“Two, if they’re quick enough about
it: but it’s tin* only way, sir. That
boat wouldn't live a second close in
alongside*.”
"ltiglit you are; you and Dugan lay
>ut on the yard and get (lie* whip
'igged; pick a strong coni and see that
t tits the pulley block. I’il keep to Un
lock, and ease them in. Pass the end
lown to me; lively now.”
Those in the* boat saw what we were
attempting, realizing at ones* that we
meant to take them aboard. The* re
lief felt was instantly express, d by
the waving of hands, and a faint cry
reached us across the water. McCann
even endeavored to stand up. but was
Jerked down again. No doubt tin* rec
ognition of the ship had left them in
total despair of rescue, their one
thought being that we would permit
them to drift by, rather than take
theta aboard again. Tlit* cap between

us slowly closed, 1 could see their
faces clearly, uplifted In agonized ap
|»eal. They were huggard, crusted wilh
sidt, piteous enough in their silent
pleading to make me forget the past.
"Boat ahoy!” I roared, “Keep wcl!
fiway from the side; we’ll whip you in
from the main yard. Have you oars?”
“One pair, sir.”
It was Liverpool, and I was glad to
note the tone of rt spent in his answer.
"Then hold her hack, and drift in
slowly stern first; you get the idea,
ire those dead men?”
“One of them is; Dubois has his leg
broken,”
“We'll send a sling down; put Du
bois In first, and the rest of you stand
by. Are you ready now?”
“Aye, aye, sir.”
Olson joined me sit the rope. Dugan
remaining outstretched on the yard,
the ship held motionless except for the
rise and fall of the waves. The boat
drifted cautiously in stern first, held
by the two oars in the hands of Liver
pool and White. The former roughly
assumed command.
"(let up there, McCann; on your
knees now; for heaven’s sake don't
n turn around that thwart amidships
bo! don’t make fast! Give Tony the
md; he lias one hand yet. Now get
Dubois into tlie sling; d-you, man.
you've got to; we can't leave thest
oars. Take a grip there, Dubois, and
help yourself. That’s better.” He lift
ed his arm in signal. “All right, sir.
swing away!”
it was a good half hour's job, and a
hard one; twice the boat nearly
swamped, and went down. Liverpool
was the last to leave the boat, already
half filled with water. As he rose slow
ly. gripping the rope with his hands,
unable to get foot In the noose, tlie
deserted craft floated away, the dead
body of Watson half covered with
water.
The four of them made a sorry look
ing bunch on the deck, but now that
lliey were safe, my feeling of sym
pathy had vanished. I could only re
call their treatment of us, and the dan
ger we still ran in having them once
tgain aboard. Nothing was to be
gained by soft words with such as they
I stepped across to front them, and Ol
<mt and Dugan joined me,
"Now, look here,” I said grimly.
‘We've taken you aboard because
we’re human beings; but there's going
to be no mistake as to your exact
status on this ship. You’ll take your
•rders from me, and I'll kill the first
fuan-Jack of you who shows a sign of
treachery. What became of Sachs?”
McCann was still gasping from his
drop into the sen, and could not an
swer, although T addressed my ques
ion to him. Liverpool replied;
“lie knifed Watson, and Dubois
knocked him overboard with an oar;
he never cum up."
“Was it In the fight Dubois got
hurt?”
“No, he was bit by the bootn, an'
Tony there broke his arm when he fell
nto the boat lift the ship's ladder*"
“All right; throe of you are fit for
work, and Tony can stand watch in the
ongi noroom. Have you had anything
to eat?’’
“Yes. sir. in a way; there was food
In the boat.”
“Then you have fared in that respect
letter than we have. White, you go
below and hustle coal; you climb down
also Tony, and relieve Masters. Tell
him to lie down and get some rest.
Move along now; III lie down there
myself presently.”
I turned to McCann. "C.ot up from
there; you are a hand on board this
ship the rest of the voyage. Do you
understand? Answer me—do you?"
“Yes.”
“Do better than that.”
“Yes. sir.”
“Very well; now you and Liverpool
pick up Dubois, and put him in num
ber seven stateroom. Make him as com
fortable as possible, but don't be long
about it. Then report on deck to Mr.
Dfson: he’ll keep you busy, and out of
mischief. A word with you. Olson."
I he second mate crossed the deck
with me to the rail; the drifting boat
had disappeared, having either sunk,
or being hidden in the hollow of the
croat surges. The screw was begin
ning to revolve once more with power,
the planks trembling under foot and :t
hit of sunshine was streaming through
the clouds overhead. I stood silent a
moment, endeavoring to think out the
situation, and Olson waited patiently,
ids eyes sweeping tlie sky and then the
sea.
“What do you think of ottr guests?”
1 asked finally. “Can we trust them
at all?"
“Not so far ns you could swing n
hull by the tail, sir." he answered
soberly. “They ain’t forgot the night
in the boat yet. but there’s ,in«t ns
much devil in 'em ns there ever was.”
“Vnnr niilnl/in It? fln.it 111 ..
help sail this ship into Pt. John’s, if
nriy villainy will save them?”
“That’s it. sir: they’re so black now,
they won’t mind a little more.”
"That's my judgment; we must keep
them apart as much ns we can, and
have an eye on them all the time.
How about Dugan?”
“He talks straight enough, and to
my notion means to ploy square,”
"That was my impression; he’s
Irish, and hot-headed, hut no criminal.
We ought to he able to keep the fel
lows separated. Besides I’ll be about
most of the time.”
“How long do you suppose it will be.
1 sir?"
“Today and another night likely; I
can tell better when I get an obser
vation at noon. It will not give them
much time for plotting.”
I sent the two forward with Olson
when they returned to the deck from
I the cabin, and he busied them gather
ing up the riffle about the forecastle
; caused by the night’s storm. McCann
; moved as though scarcely able to exert
| himself, but Ited took hold as if glad
to. be occupied. Vera came down the
| ladder, and we spoke together briefly,
about what had occurred. She Anally
| volunteered to get some food ready,
; and I went below with her, rousing tip
Dade, and putting him at work under
her orders. An hour later all aboard
I enjoyed a warm meal, eating alike in
; the after cabin.
After the meal I yielded to my own
need of rest, certain I should he on
deck all night, and returned to the
cabin. I left my stateroom door open.
hut In ten minutes I was sound asleep.
W hat awakened me 1 do not know. I
had a confused sense of some heavy
body falling, but no other sound. Yet
this Impression was so strong, so ln
j sistent, that 1 sat up in the berth, and
stared out through the open door into
the cabin beyond. I neither saw, nor
heard anything, yet did not withdraw
my eyes when I got to my feet; then I
knew that the dark shapeless object,
half under the table, was the motion
!css body of a man. My throat seemed
to contract, and choke me, hut I forced
1..** -’t.' I'l” H I'M > w t I ' »
through tin* door. Tin* dingy cabin
wns deserted, not another stateroom
door open. The table hnd been cleared
of dishes, a decanter of brandy stand
ing alone on the swinging shelf. Un
derneath, with face concealed in the
crook of one arm. lay a man, an ugly
gash in the back of his colored shirt,
through which fresh blood was oozing,
and dripping to the deck. I sprang for
ward. and turned him over—Dubois.
1 could hardly accept the evidence of
my own eyes. How had this thing hap
pened? How did the crippled sailor
ever get into the cabin? Whose hand
could have struck the blow? and for
what purpose was it struck? It was
murder, a cowardly slash from behind;
no wound which could be self-inflicted,
but a blow of deliberate purpose. Who
aboard would have reason to seek the
life of Dubois? I could think of no
one; no cause for such ;* crime. An
instant T stared, dazed, into the dead,
upturned face, not even knowing where
to turn, in which direction to seek the
murderer. 1 felt as though every fac
ulty of both brain and body was
paralyzed by the shock. Yet this was
but for an instant. I tried the doors of
the various staterooms; all opened at
nty touch, excepting Tlnscom’s, and
proved unoccupied. Ills was locked as
usual, and I felt it useless to disturb
the man. Leayord was no longer be
low; lie hnd doubtless awakened and
gone on deck, but I discovered Dade
asleep in his old herth down the pas
sage. shook him awake, and compelled
him to come back with me. Tin* horroi
of his face at sight of the dead body
only intensified my own, but I had grip
on my nerves by now. and was deter
mined tn learn the truth.
“Stay here until 1 find out what Is
happening on deck. There Is nothing
to lie afraid of, you fool; the man i*
dead. Yes, you can stand over there,
but don’t leave until I come back, ami
keep your eyes open. '
_ As I emerged, from the companion,
Good for the Whole Family
“Granny” Chamberlain “A good cough remedy is one that can be
depended upon to cure coughs. Not one
that cures some particular cough, but coughs in general.
It must be a cough remedy that can be relied upon for all the
different coughs that are so prevalent. While the causes of all
coughs are primarily the same, yet the condition of the patient
is what makes the difference in the nature of the cough itself.
Coughs of healthy persons are easier to cure than the coughs of
invalids. The powerful convulsive cough of a large man is
harder to cure than the cough of a baby. If you get a remedy
that will cure a large man’s cough and yet not be too powerful
for the baby, you have a good cough remedy.
Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy
is just this kind of remedy. It is good for any member of the
family. It relieves coughs of all kinds. It is the product of much
thought and study to produce an ideal cough remedy. It is com
posed of things which cure easily and soothingly without harm
ing the most delicate tissues of the throat, it acts as easily and
safely on the young as on the old, and is the ideal remedy for
coughs, colds, croup, influenza, whooping cough and bronchitis.”
leaving the dingy, death-shadowed
cabin behind, the open deck was surli i
a scene of quiet as to appear like an
other world. Vera was still resting in
her chair not twenty feet away. Slit
glanced up, smiling a welcome, as 1
crossed the deck, 1 lit the expression
of her fare instantly changed as our
eyes met.
"What is it, Mr. Hollis? Are we
again in danger?"
“There lias been trouble below. Let
me question you before 1 explain. You
have been here for the last hour?”
"Yes; longer even than that.”
“Who have you seen enter the com
panion?”
“1 slept at first, but have been awake
for some time. Dade came out on deck
a few moments, and then wont back
i again; that must have been an houiI
1 ago. There was no one else untU Mr. 1
Thenyorrt was called to take his watch." '
“Who called him?”
! “Olson; he was not below more than
a minute.”
“And Leayord responded immedl
I ately ?”
| “Yes, so quickly I remember think
ing he could not have removed hi;
I clothes to lie down.”
“And when was this?”
“A half hour ago; he stopped and
spoke with me before taking charge ot
1 the deck.”
“No one has entered the cabin
since?”
She shook her head.
“N'o one, I am sure; Mr. Olson did
not go below; he is forward there now,
Please tell me what has happened?"
“Dubois has been killed." I explained
briefly. “I found his body on flu !
cabin deck. The deed was just done; '
his fall awoke me from sleep, hut be- 1
fore I could leave the stateroom the
murderer had disappeared.”
1 ‘He—he was murdered ! You are
sure?”
“There was a knife wound In the
back piercing the heart. The man died
without a sound.”
She rose to her feet, tier face white
her hoily trembling so that I put ou
my hands to her support, and instantly
lier fingers clasped mine.

Li¥E STOCK SHOW
HI LITTLE ROCK
February 6, 7 and 8 the South’* Great
•at Stock Show Will Be Held
At Little Rock.
I Ry R C. Riley, Extension Service,
I'niverelty of Arkansas.
The Southern Cattlemen's Associa
tion, according to Dr. R. M. Gow, State
i Veterinarian with the University of
Arkansas and Secretary of the Asso
ciation, expects to give the people of
this state the greatest cattle show
ever held In the South, on February b.
7 and 8 at Little Rock. This show will
undoubtedly mark an epoch in the. his
tory for better cattle In Arkansas. It
comes ut an opportune time, because
on December 1, 19 counties were re
leased from quarantine and Arkansas
farmers in more than two-thirds of
the state can now take advantage of
the climatic conditions, not only for
better pastures, but for higher grade
ind more profitable cattle.
The stock show will not only be of
great interest to Arkansas people, but
it will undoubtedly have a marked ef
fect in the immediate development
of the live stock industry. It Is a
well known fact that in communities
where live stock shows and salrs*4tro
held in connection with county fairs,
state fairs or stockmen conventions,
•hat interest in better live stock lias
been given a great Impetus. This is
undoubtedly due to the fact that the
farmer who has a well bred and an
exceptional animal in Iiis neighbor
hood often flnda, on attending such
-hows and by comparing his animal
with those found there, that he does
not have the ideal by far; and as u re
the quality of his herd by selecting:
better sires and dams; and this again
reflects itself in better lire stock
for the entire community.
Best Breeds Wilt Be Represented.
There will be a great number of
very fine animals of the various
breeds exhibited at the Southern Cat
tleman's Association Show and Sale
during the meeting at Little Hock. No*
one can afford to miss this show nor
the splendid program of the conven
tion. which Is open to the public and
upon which the best live stock men
in toe United States will appear.,
f j This is an exceptional opportunity
>• for Arkansas stockmen to become ac
- quaint ed with the {secretaries of the
e various national breed associations
1 and with the larger breeders of pure
bred stock in the country, and (o>
' get their ideas and opinions.
Large Number of Fineat Animals ten
Be on Hand.
1 Are you interested in Shorthorn-,.
■ Angus or Hereford cattle? It. really
makes little difference which suits
you best. All of the breeds will i>e
represented at the live stock Show..
There will be 75 head of S-horthorn
cattle, representing the Scotch and*
Scotch Top cattle; ami in fact, among
the thirty hulls to be shown will be*
found some of the best bloqd in the*
country. Among the 75 bead of An
1 gua there will be found the Mood
lines of Blackbird, Queen Mother and"
1 Blackcap, and three of the 25 bulls-;
to be shown carry the blood liitesr
of Grand Champions. Among the 65.
TTerefords which will be here are to*
be found tbe Perfection, Perfection
Faii-fax. and Repeater families..
About twenty bulls in all will repre
sent this breed. Bred rows, cows
with calf at foot, and bred heifers will1,
be found among all breeds.
Hog Show at th« Same Time.
In connection with tbe Southern
Cattlemen’s Association meeting, the
Arkansas Stock Growers’ Association
and the Arkansas Swine Breeders”
Association wilt put on a show and1

j firm of better hogs. About six huw
I deed head of all ages and sex will be'
! shown, representing the Duroc-.Iersey..
Hampshire, Poland China. Spotted Po -
land China and Mule Foot breeds.
A Great Chance for the Boy*.
Remember, Arkansas has been a*f
ed to increase next year the nuiutwi
of hogs In the state by twenty per
cent. Good bogs are the most profit-,
able, and the proper rare and man
agement of your swine is undoubtedly
of interest to you. This is your
