said Therlere to Skipper Slmma. "We don't
want to lose any' men If tva can help It."
Tho skipper welcomed this unexpected
rescue from the predicament Into which
he had placed himself, How Therlere was
to accomplish the subjugation of, the muti
nous sailor he could not hums, nor did he
care so long as It wan done without risk
to his own skin.
"N'ow, If you'll go away, sir," said
Therlere, "and order the men away, I'll
see what I can do."
Skipper Slmms did as Therlere had re
quested, so that presently the omcer stood
alone beside tho hatch.
Across tho deck, nm Id ships, tha men had
congregated to watch Therlere's operations,
while beyond them stood Barbara Harding,
held fascinated by the grim tragedy that
was unfolding itseir before her upon this
accursed vessel.
Therlere loaned over the open hatch In
full view of the watting Byrne, ready below,
Thero was the Instant report of a firearm
nnd a bullet whizzed closo past Therlere's
head,
"Avast there, Byrne 1" he shouted. "It
la T, Therlero, Do not shoot again. I
wish to spenk with you."
"No monkey business now," growled the
mucker In reply. "I won't miss again."
"I wish to talk with you, Byrne," said
Thorlero In a low tono. "I'M coming down
thero."
"S'o, you ain't, eul," returned Byrnoi
"leastways, yell ain't a comin' down. here
alive."
"Yes, I am Byrne," replied Therlere,
"and you must not be foolish about It, I
am unarmed. YoU can cover mo with your
revolver until you havo satisfied yourself
as to that. I am the only man on the
ship who can save your life tho only man
who has reason to deslro to ; but wo must
talk It over, and wo cannot talk this way,
whoro there Is a chance that we shall bo
overheard. I shall treat you fairly If
j-ou will be fair with me. If wo cannot
agree, I shall return, and you shall be no
worso oft than you are now,. Hero I come,"
nnd without waiting for an acceptance of
his proposition tho second officer of tha
Ilalfmoon slipped over tho edge 'of tho
hatchway and disappeared rfroni sight.
That ho was n brave man, even Billy
Byrno had to admit, and those above, who
know nothing of tho relations existing be
tween the second mate and the sailor who
had so recently felled htm, thought that
his courngo was little short of marvelous.
Therlero's Btock went up by leaps and
bounds In tho estimation of the sailors of
tho Ilalfmoon, for, degraded though they
woro, they could understand and appreciate
physical eourago of this sort. To Barbara
Harding tho man's act seemed unparalleled
In Its utter disregard of tho consequences
of life and death to himself that it entailed.
Sho was suddenly sorry thnt she had en
tertained any suspicion ngalnst Therlere
so brave a man could not bo other than
tho soul of honor, she argued.
Onco below, Therlere found himself cov
ered by hli own revolver In tho hands of
a very desperate and vory unprincipled
marl. Ho smiled wryly at Byrne as tho
latter oyed him suspiciously.
"Look now, my friend Byrne," said
Therlere, "It would bo foolish for me to
say that I am doing this for love of you.
Tho fact Is that 1 need you, Wo cannot
succeed, either ono of us, alone I think
you were foolish when you struck mo to
day. You know that our understanding
was that I should be even more rough with
you than usual, In order to nert suspicion
should wo bo caught speaking together.
I had an opportunity to nbuse you today,
and I thought that you would understand
that I was but taking advantage of the
chance to make It plain to Mile. Harding
that thero could be nothing other than
hatred between us.
"If I had thought' that you really In
tended hitting Ino you would havo been a
dead man before your flat reached me. my
friend. You took me entirely by surprise;
but that Is all In the past I am willing to
forget and help you out of your dllllcultles.
Then wo can continue with our work as
it Ii

though nothing had happened. What, do
yoii say?"
"I didn't know yeh was klddlnY replied
the mucker, "or I wouldn't have hit yeh.
Yeh acted like yeh meant It"
"very well, that Is understood," said
Therlere. "Now, will you como out If I
nrrange with the captain -so that yoii shall
not get more than a day or so In Irons? Ho
must give you something o save his own
face) but I promise that you shall not be
beaten the way you were beforo when he
had you below. If ho does not agree to
what I propose I glvo you my word to tell
you bo,"
"Oo ahead," said Billy Byrno. "I don't
trust nobody w'en I don't have to! but I'll
be dinged If I see any other way out of
ft."
Therlere returned to the deck, and, see
ing the skipper, drAw hlrrf to ono side.
"I can get him up peaceably Jf I can
assure him that he shall get onlya. day or
so In tho cooler, with full rations and no
beatings. I think, sir, that that will be
the easiest way, We cannot Bpare a man
now If wo wish to punish tho fellow later
we can always find snmo pretext."
"Very well, Mr, Therlere," replied the
skipper. "I'll leave the matter entirely In
your hands you can do what you want
wllh tho fellow. It's you as had your face
punched."
Therlero returned Immediately to the
forecastle, from which ho presently emerged
with tho erstwhile recalcitrant Byrno. For
two days the latter languished in durnnco
vile, nnd that wns tho end of tho episode,
thouglt Its effects were manifold.
For ono thing, It Implanted In the heart
of Therlero n personal hatred for tho
muckcri so that while heretofore his In
tontlon of ridding himself of the man whon
ho no longer needed him was duo puroly
to a matter of policy, it wns now reinforced
by a keen deslro for personal revengo.
Tho occurrence had also had its Influence
upon Barbara Harding, In that It had shown
her Mr, Therlere In n new light ono that
reflected credit upon him.
She had thought his mngnanlmous treat
ment of tho sailor little short of heroic, and
It had deepened tho girl's horror of Billy
Byrne until It now amounted to llttlo short
of an obsession.
So vivid an Impression had his brutality
made upon her that she would start from
slumber, dreaming that sho was menaced
by him.
After Billy was released for duty fol
lowing his Imprisonment, ho several times
passed the girl upon deck. Ho noticed thnt
she shrank from him In disgust and torror !
but what surprised him wns that Instead of
tho thrill of pride which formerly he would
have felt at this acknowledgment of his
toughness, ho now felt a Blngular resent
ment against the girl for her attitude, so
that ho camo to hato her oven more than
ho had beforo hated. Formerly ho hnd
hated her for the things she stood for; now
ho hated her for herself.
Therlere was often with hor now. and,
less frequently Divine: for at the second
ofllcer's suggestion Barbara hnd not
ncquaintcd that gentleman wttli tho fact
that she wbb aware of his duplicity.
"It Is well not to let him know, ' said
Therlero. "It gives you nn advantngo that
would be wanting should he suspect tho
truth. Xow you are In n position to be
wnrncd in plenty of time against any ul
terior suggestion ho may mako. Tell mo
always what ho tells you of his plans, and
In this way we may defeat him much more
easily than If you followed your natural
Inclinations and refused to hold communi
cation of any sort with him.
"It might bo well. Miss Harding, even to
encourage him In tho hope that you will
wed him voluntarily. I think that would
throw him entirely off his guard and pave
the way for your early release."
"Oh, I doubt If I could do that, Mr.
Therlere," exclaimed the girl. "You cannot

Little Tulip Heart Meets Gum Drop

Charlotto Russse, Tulip Heart's maid. led
the way out to a broad hall The flnori
of this hall was covered with a green car
pet In which daisies grew. But Tulip
Heart fouhd that she didn't crush nny
daisies, for her cloud shoes carried her right
over tho tops of them. All the daisies
nodded and laughed at her.
All this made her ery happy and she
was laughing and nodding to the daisies
when she came to tho top of a long staircase
that led down to Trice Marmolade's dining
room. Charlotto Russe took little Tulip Heart
by tho hand then nnd said, "Jump, dearie,"
Then they both Jumped and floated down
the staircase as If they had been summer
clouds.
At the bottom of the stairs they found
Oum Drop, tho little green grass elf, sitting
on a big blue flower that grew out of the
wall, Ha took off hlo little green hat,
made out of clover leaves, and bowed over
so far he fell off the flower.
It looked as If Oum Drop was going to
tumble right down on his head, but Just
as ha had almost reached the floor a big
golden butterfly flew up and caught him
on Its wings. Oum Drop sat right down
on the butterfly's wings nnd picked up two
little reins. Then he smiled and winked at
Tulip Heart and drove right through the
wall, which opened for him like a broken
cloud,
"Isn't he funny?" said Tulip Heart to
Charlotte Russe
"Yes," said Charlotte Russe, "but he Is
very naughty to wink tha way he does.
Prince Marmolada forbade him to wink and
will punish him It he finds out about It"
"How will Frlnca Marmolada punish
him?" asked Tulip Heart.
"Ha will "take his butterflies away from
him," said Charlotte Russe, "and then he
will have to walk, He Is very lasy and
hates to walk, so he will feel very bad If
his butterflies are taken from him,"
Just then a great door all made of pearls

demanded some return on my psrt my
friendship and sympathy at least. Now I
shiver whenever he Is near me, Just as I
would were I to find a snake colled beside
me. I cannot abide treachery.
"Nor I, mademoiselle," agreed Therlere
glibly. "Tho man deserves nothing but
your contmpt, though for the anke of
policy 1 hopa that you will find It possible
to lead him on until his very treachery
proves tho means of your salvation. For,
believe me, If he has been falsa to you,
how much more quickly will ho be falso to
Slmms and Ward ! He would betray them
In an Instapt If tho opportunity presented
Itself for him to win you without their
aid. I have thought It might bo posslblo
to lead him Into Attempting to take tho
ship by force aricl return you to San Fran
tHco, or, better still, to tho nearest clvlllied

"You might, with propriety, suggest this
to him, tolling him you believe that I would
stand ready to asilst In tho undertaking.
I can promise you the support of several
of tho men quite n sufficient number, with
Dlvlno and myself, to take the Ilalfmoon
easily from her present officers."
"I will think over yoilr suggestion, Mr
Therlere," replied Barbara, "and I thank
you for tha generous Impulse that has
prompted you to befriend me. Heaven
knows how badly 1 need n friend now
among so many enemies What Is It, Mr
Therlero? What is tho matter?"
Tho officer had turned his eyes casually
toward tho southeast as the girl spoke, and
Just now ho had glen a sudden exclama
tion of surprise and alarm.
'That cloud, mademoiselle," ho answered
"Wo shall hao a bad blow. It will be

started forward on a run, calling back

CirAPTHU VII.
TEMPRST AND PANIC
THE storm that struck tho Hnlfmoon
took her entirely unawares. It had
sprung, npparontly, out of a perfectly clear
sky. Both tho lookout nnd tho man at the
wheel were ready to tnko oath that they
had scanned tho horizon not n half minute
beforo Second Mato Thorlero had como rac
ing forward bellowing for "all hands on
deck" nnd ordering n sailor below to report
the menacing conditions to Captain Slmms.
Beforo that officer reached the deck
Therlero had the entlro crow aloft taking In
sail; but though they worked with the des
peration of doomed men. thov uero onlv
partially successful In their efforts.
The sky and sea had nssumed u Blckly
yellowish color, except for thn mighty black
cloud that raced toward them low over
tho wnter. The low-moaning sound that
had followed tho first appcaranco of tho
storm gave placo to a sullen roar.
Then, of a sudden, tho thing struck tho
Ilalfmoon, ripping her remaining canvas
from her as though It had been wrought
from tissue paper, and with tho flying can
vas, spars and cordage went the main mast,
snapping ten feet abovo tno dock nnd crash
ing over tho starboard bow with n nolso
nnd Jar that rose abovo tho bellowing of
tho typhoon.
Fully half tho crew of the Hnlfmoon
cither wont down with tho falling rigging
or were crurhed by tho crashing wolghfof
tho mast as it hurled ngalnst tho deck.
Skipper Slmmi ruihcd back and forth,
screaming out curses thnt no ono heoded
and orders that thero wcro nono to fill.
Therlere, on his own responsibility, looked
to tho hatches. Ward, with a handful of
men armed with axes, attempted to chop
away tho wreckage, for tho Jagged butt of
tho fallen mast was clashing against the
ship's sldo with such vicious blows that It
seemed but a matter of seconds before It
would stave a holo In her
With tho utmost dlflloulty a sea anchor
was rigged and tumbled over tho Hnlf
moon's pitching bow Into the nngry sea that
was rising to more gigantic proportions
with each succeeding minute.
Tho frail makeshift, which at best could
but keep tho -eisol'". bow Into the' wind,
saving her from Instant engulfment In the
sea's trough, Beemed to Therlere but n
sorry means of prolonging tho ngony of
suspense preceding tho Inevitable ond.
That nothing could save them was the
second ofllcer's firm belief, nor was he
nlone In hli conviction Not only Slmms
and Ward, but overy experienced sailor on
tho hlilp, felt that the life of the Ilalfmoon
was now but n matter of hours, possibly
minutes, whllo those of Icseer oxpcrlence
woro equally positive that each succeeding
wae must mark tho termination of tho
lives of the vessel and her company.
The deck, wnshed now nlmost contin
uously by hurtling tons of storm-mad water
as one mountainous wave followed unother
the length of tho ship, had become entirely
Impossible. With difficulty the men were
attempting to get below betwoen waves.
AH semblance of dlsclpllno had vanished.
For tho most pnrt they were a pack of
howling, cursing, terror-ridden casts, fight
ing nt tho hatches with thoso who would
have held them closed ngainst each new
assault of tho sea.
Ward and Skipper Slmms had been
among tho first to seek precnrlous safety
helow deck. Therlero alone of the officers
had remained on duty until tho last, and
now ho waB exerting hlB every effort to
savo as many of the men as possible with
out losing the Bhlp In doing. It.
Only between the wavaj was the entrance
to the main cabins negotiable, whllo the
forecastle hatch had been abandoned en
tirely after It had been with difficulty re
placed following the retreat of three of tho
crew to that part of tha ship.
The mucker stood beslda Therlere as
the later beat back the men when the seas
threatened It was tho man's first experi
ence of tha kind. Never had he faced
death In tho courage-blighting form which
the grim harvester assumes when he calls
unbridled nature to do his ghastly bidding
The mucker saw the rough, brawling
bullies of the forecastle reduced to white
faced, gibbering cowards, clawing and
fighting to climb over one another toward
tha lesser danger of the cabins, while the
mate fought them off, except as he found
It expedient to let them pass him, he alone
being cool and fearless.
Byrne stood as one apart from the dan
gersand hysteric strivings of his fellows.
Once' when Therlere happened to glance In
his direction the Frenchman mentally as
scrlbed the mucker's Beemlng lethargy to
the paralysis of abject cowardice.
"Tha fellow Is In a blue funk," thought
the second mate. "I did not mUJudga him
like all his kind, he Is a coward at heart "
Then a great wave came, following unex
pectedly close upon the heels of a lesser one
It took Therlere off his guard, threw him
down and hurled him across the deck, land
ing him In the scuppers bleeding and
stunned.
The next wava would carry him over
board. Released from surveillance, the remainder

"TARZAN OF APES"
MADE INTO mm
The Burrotighs-Ledgei Romnric
to Be Filmed In Elaborate
Production
By the Photoplay Editor
To the thousands of Etb'mwo LicdobX
readers who have followed Tarzon through
the romance by Edgar nice Burroughs
published In these columns, It will be good
news Indeed that Mr, Burroughs has Just
sjgned a contract with the Rational Film
Corporation of New York for the filming
of tho first of the stories, "Tarzan of the
Apes."
It Is the Intention of 'William Parsoris,
president of the National, to make a pre
tentious production of 10 or 1? reels and to
release the picture Independently, Produc
tion wilt be begun within a few months at
the National Film Corporaton studios ln
Florida and also In the Big; Horn Moun
tains. Miss Dalo Fuller waa somewhat seriously
Injured a few days ago while working In
a flood scene out at the Keystone studio.
Mack Sennett Is producing a comedy which
hns to do with the scuttling of a ship. In
one of the most strenuous scenes Miss
Fulter fell and br6ke two ribs. SI10 was
taken to her homo where she will probably
remain In bed for a few weeks.
Another accident happened at the Keya
stone studio a few days ago when Fritz
Hcliade suffered a broken arm while playing
a scene on the brink of the studio tank.
One of tho diving girls felt, and it was try
ing to save her from Injury that "Keystone
Fritz," ns he Is called, fell Into the tank,
hitting his arm against the ratting with
such force as to causo the fracture,
Schado has taken many chances during
his long association with Mack Sennett's
productions. It wilt be remembered that ln
"FIdo'H Fate," he was thrown by Charles
Murray from a six-story window, the fact
that thero was a firemen's net below by no
means eliminated the danger ln this pro
ceeding, but this Is the first reel Injury that
the comedian has suffered.
Sellff has Just produced 'The Prince
Chap," which will be released on July 24.
In "The Prince Chap" Marshal Nellan, the
director of tho production, returns to tho
Bcreen. Scenes for this picture were taken
ln New York, Chicago and Loa Angeles.
Associated with Mr. Nellan ln Its produc
tion ore Marj Charleson, who recently
Joined tho Sells forces; Bessie Eyton and
Oeorgo Fawcott. v
The latest photo-play acquired by the
Unity Sales Corporation Is tho photo drama
version of "Tho Lottery Man," ln which
Thurlow B?rcen Is starred.
"The Lottery Man" was a sprightly comedy-drama
dealing with tha adventures of a
reckless newspaper man who put himself
up as a prize for the fairer sex. Ho is
fairly swamped with matrimonial offers, but
the winner of the lottery appears to be hli
sweetheart's cook. 1
Henry B. Walthall's cast name In "Ths
Strango Case of Mary Page," Kssanay se
ries, was Philip Langdon. Therefore, when
a letter' came to Essanay addressed to
Philip Langdon it was turned over to Mr.
Walthall. It proved to be from a girl In
Colorado, who said hor brother, a Philip
Langdon, had been missing for years and
that he resembled Mr. Walthall In appear
ance. She had hoped that the two were'
the same, but the actor was compelled to
admit that Henry Walthall was the nam
he was awarded rather early In life.
3000 Nurses Asked to Join Red Cross
Three thousand nurses In thla city -wers
called upon to enrol In the Red" Cross move
ment through letters sent out from ihe

which had bean sent to bankers, brokers
and business men, and Is part of the cam
paign by which ths nod Cross hopes to
enrol 50,000 members In this city. The
Rod Cross ambulance visited the Frelhofer
fcakery plant at 27th and Indiana avenue
yesterday noon and addresses were made to
a group of employes.
