Of tho fitness of things. I was mo
amused at the mass meeting of the Red

told us he had accepted the position as
lead of the Philadelphia Heel cioss you
Utmember at the close of his r,pcecli Mr.
Itotesbury requested that the audience

i for my amusement waa this. It was a
Solemn meeting, and every one wan Im
pressed with the seriousness of the aues
lions at Issue but when those girls rep
IrMentlnK the Itecl Cross appealed, dressed
ibi 'Simple" whlto dresses, their Idea of
llmpllcltj was lather lemarkable, I
"think.
' Fancy a Ited Ci oss nurso wearing jards
tndyards of filet lace inset Into her cos
tume; Imagine a nurse dazzling her pa
tients with diamond pins like sunbursts
, en her chest, glimpse a lied Cioss nurso
trippijig about the wards In Krench-heeled
hrhlte kid and satin slippers, and dream of
I Red Cross nurso f locked In a whlto
'atln.shlrtnalst and skirt soaking up the
sblood from horrible wounds.
jOf course they weie only pretond
lurses, but why not be consistent nnd
keep Up the real Idea of tho Red Cross?
jWhy Is It some silly women must spoil
things by giving a touch of frivolity to
tie most serious occasions, thereby giv
ing a false Impiesslon of all who take
part, whereas tho leally filvolous ones
are In the minority nlways, I can safely

Impulse save the fienzv nf hate, tho deslro

The man was not aft . then lie must be foi

Aliendv we had peeled Into everv corner
abaft the engine ladder below dicks, all
that remained unvlslted was the hold chock
to the deck beams with caigo both luiti lies
battened down, the forecastle the pilnt
room and the dingy Ill-smelling leeesses of
the forepenk Of one thing 1 was decided
If the fellow had Indeed succeeded in slip
ping forward unobserved he was nevci tn

would drsl of nil. see to It that the decks

"All right: sing out to him to keep his

'Then ask hr, please, I'm likely to need

They were beside me almost Instantly,
t.igerlv questioning as to what had occurred
below their faces expresslvo of the deep
horror both felt at tho situation In which
wo found ourselves t'nder other condi
tions I should have felt slncero sjmpathy
f..i the suddenly stricken Bascom His
foimer friendship for Vera, what I know of
Ids misfortunes, the very conception of tho
mans character which I had formed my
wjlf during our brief acquaintance on
board, all tended to tnako the man an object
of pity The murders he had committed
were but tho result of a diseased brain
the sudden snapping of responsibility Nor
did the dead men make any special appeal ,
they had been when alive the scum of tho
sea treacherous and brutal , enemies to be
watched and guarded against All we had
lost through their deaths had been the use
of their hands In navigating the vessel
h3ven now I held Philip Bascom, If restored
to his normal condition, worth all of them
I could not hate the man. or seek him evil
but I could dread him That was the
whole of It dread' Here was a man craz
ed murderously Insane who had safely
tasted blood, whose Insanity had been
caused by fear and brooding over a great
wrong In his disordered brain a mad,
desperate desire for revenge had overshad
owed all else To obtain this no deed was
Impossible, no crime too hideous And this
creature was hidden somewhere between
decks, and unless discovered and made
captive, held In his hands the fate of every
soul on board The thought of what he
might do during tho black darkners of tho
night terrorized me There was no guess
ing what crazed scheme his Insanity might
concoct Are, a wrecked engine, nn open
water cock, a dozen different possibilities
Hashed through my mind, each frightful In
Its suggestion of potent evil At any cost
we must have him within our control, we
dare not even wait In hope that the man
might reveal himself we must go after
him, crawling In the dark, feeling within
crevice nnd cavity, until we uncovered his
hiding place
I explained this quickly to the two men.
hiding none of my own fear, but making
them comprehend the desperate need of
thorough and ceaseless search. The look
on their faces evidenced that my words
had gone home
"He's forward, sirs that's clear enough,"

He leaned forward, striking one hand nn

I was thinking, paving little nttontlou tu
his words my eyes untonsclously viewing
the ship aft The deck was so wrapped In
gloom that outside the radius of our lan
terns I could perceive no movement, not
even determine the presence of the two men
left on guard
The two masts, with their heavy spans,
cast all below into dense shadow, but be
yond, on the poop, tho faint rays of tho
binnacle lamp reflected softly on the face
of tho girl at tho wheel, making her appear
almost a vision The sight for an Instant
fatcinated me
"Ain't thet so. sir? '
"Why, )es, Leayord, I am unable to see
it any other way but where'"
"Well, there ain't but one place aboard
unexplored, sir. Damned if I know how he
ever got there, but ho'e either there, over
board or aloft , or else I've got to take off
my hat to Red here, an' acknowledge It's
a real ghost we've got aboard tho old

A)e, aye, I'm fer taklu' off the hatches

There was no answering his logic, and
a determination to complete the Job was

"Get the tarpaulin out of the way, Liver
pool," I said sharply, throning the lantern
where the light was needed "Cut it loose,
man, dun t waste time with the lashings;
there s plenty of spare canvas In the sail
room What's stowed first below, Mr
Leayord?"
"That's the hell of it. sir," he replied
soberly "I never told you, for I didn't
see no cause There was a lot o' boxes
come on board, sir, maybe a thousand
of 'em, with cmds clamped with Iron, an'
they was almighty heavy We had to load
'em with the donkey engine, an most of
'em were dumped ln Jlst below the main
hatch "
"Do ou know what they contained?"
"Mr. Bascom told me they was army
stoves, sir, and maybe he thought they
was, fer he seemed sure about it ; but afong
at the Ust the hook slipped oft one of
them, an' the box dropped about thirty
feet, smashln' the whole end In It was
plumb full o' loaded shells."
"Loaded shells?"
"That's what; therrf was powder enough
scattered about there ter blow the whole
ship to hell an' bark "
"What did Bascom say?"
