( "CHAPTER XIII. Through Desperate Hazards. NIGHT settled swiftly over the harbor of Whitehaven, mak ing mystery and fairyland of the dark water and crowded shipping on which the riding lights were already gleaming. Here and there motorboats moved swiftly, but whether any one of these was the one ] in which he had seen the wife who I was blindly fleeing from his love Lord j Cecil's straining sight could not deter-1 mine. Suddenly Cecil's searching eyes fas tened upon the figure of a woman, near the end of one of the piers. As he draw near quickly he could see that she was no longer young, and weeping bad disfigured her patient, lined face. She was praying silently, with clinched hands and tightly shut eyes. Suddenly, with a gasp of terror, she stepped to the edge of the plank ing and for an instant wavered on the brink, below which the black water lapped sullenly against fhe piles. With a flash of comprehension Cecil leaped forward. **»»•«» In all the forty years of her drill i olored life nothing of poetry or ro iiiauee had come to Sarah Gray. Sun shine Itself seemed to stagnate in the dull little town, and the souls of the villagers were as crnuiped and prosaic us the existence they led. No one re menibered that Sarah Gray had once been a girl or could have dreamed that her heart still hungered fiercely for the love that had never come its way. Sarah (.ray was eminently respecta ble. even according to Dullwich stand ards. Her familiar conduct with the stranger was therefore as inexplicable as it was shockiug. The stranger had appeared, from no one knew where, und lodged himself at the White Falcon Inn. His name, he had given Landlord Higgs to under stand. was Captain Lars Pieterson. To Sarah those were dream days. To her at last had come romance. In credible. almost terrifying, unimagina bly sweet, love had swiftly developed from an apparently chance acquaint ance with Captain Pieterson. They would go to America, he told her. where he had large interests and where he desired to establish his per- ! nianont home. Her old mother would be left in the care of some good peo-! pie at Dullwich until they had estab lisbed themselves, when they would | return for her. Sarah would sell her I cottage, draw her savings from the! bank and meet him in Whitehaven, j where they would be married and then ! sail in his own ship to the land of wealth and happiness. And then he j went away, telling her to follow as soon as she had arranged for her mother and disposed of their cottage. I Unquestioningl.v Sarah Gray carried j out the suggestions made to her. Then, j with nearly £9OO in her hand bag, she hurried joyously to Whitehaven, and | there occurred what one more worldly ; wise than Sarah Gray would have! guessed would be the end of her be-! lated romance. It was a good scheme. Captain Pie- j terson had frequently asserted to his Intimates and one which he invariably, worked when his tramp schooner lay long enough in any port of the seven seas, to make love to an old maid with a little money, get the money in his I pocket and then brutally give the wo- j man to understand that she had been tricked. Generally they drowned them-1 selves and matters were satisfactorily I concluded. It wa* Sarah Gray whom Lord Cecil snatched back from the edge of the pier and from whom he soon extracted i the essential facts of her pitiful story. ! "This man's ship has not yet sailed?" j Cecil asked, tils lips drawing into a bard line. "Not yet. I think." she answered dully. "There has not been time for raptain Pieterson to get alKiard. He had Just left me when—when you came, and went In a rowboat. The ship, the Najlioy. was anchored far out. 1 heard him say." "Then come!" Cecil ordered and hur ried the unresisting woman away. Further along the line of wharfs a waterman was Just mooring his nonde script motorboat. He nodded indlffer entl.v when Cecil demanded if his craft was for hire and cast off the line he' had made fact. "Where to?" he grunted as Cecil and Sarah Gray seated themselves on the uncushioned boards. """ r " • C "Alongside the Najhoy. schooner In the outer harbor." was the direction given. Before the motorboat had reached the onter anchorage, however, the NaJ "To the boats for your lives! The for'd cargo is powderl" hoy's captain bad climbed aboard, the anchor had been brought home and the schooner had started to beat out to open sea. "She be gone." the waterman re marked indifferently, pointing to the receding vessel. "Can you catch her?" Cecil demand ed. the ominous tightening of lips still in evidence. * "F or ?50. belike," the boatman re sponded. "Do it." Cecil ordered shortly, and the mans fingers closed greedily upon the ten pound note thrust into his hand. "Be n't no boat in harbor can touch un." the man said pridefully., "Now you watch un go!" "I wish to get aboard without being seen—run alongside and be silent," Ce ell whispered when the dark moss ol the ship wp.s not fifty yards ahead. The deck was deserted, except for the lookout forward and the man at the wheel, and the eyes of the latter were aloft. Cecil stole along the shad ow of the deckhouse toward a window from which came a bar of light, and the sound of voices. Cautiously peer ing in. he could see a man whom he correctly judged to be Captain Pieter sou and another whom he took to be the mate. "Usual luck ashore, cap'n?" the mate Inquired with a leer. Not so bad—not so bad," Pieterson responded with a chuckle and tossed a packet ot' banknotes upon the shelf under the window. "Eight hundred and seventy pounds—that'll mean 4,350 good dollars when we tie up at New York." "I reckon you ain't takin' that pow der In the forward hold to New York?" the mate suggested casually. Captain Pieterson eyed him witli sudden suspicion. "We cleared for New York, didn't we?" be demanded. "Oh. I wasn't tryin' to horn in don t make no difference to me where we go. I draw my pay by the month," the mate hastened to declare. He turn ed to go. and Pieterson followed him with his eyes. Instantly Cecil's long arm was thrust through the window, and as quickly withdrawn, with Sa rah Gray's fortune grasped in his hand. Swiftly he moved back to the rail at the point where the ladder hung and was in the act of climbing over when a wild yell of fury burst from the deckhouse, telling that Captain Pieter son had discovered his loss. At the same instant powerful bands seized upon Cecil from behind. "I got 'lm, cap'n—here be the thief!" a voice bellowed at his ear. Vainly Cecil strove to free himself from that iron grasp. Men were rush ing from every direction, and an tin muffled volley of oaths told that Pie terson had gained the deck. Force-J against tbe rail, Cecil was directly above the motorboat and could see Sa rah Gray looking up at him with fright ened eyes. He drop|>ed the packet oi notes Into her lap. "It's your money-get away-go!" hi shouted, and tbe waterman, desiring tc get well clear of the trouble that had broken out aboard the schooner, open ed his throttle wide. The launch leap ed forward and disappeared. Captain Pieterson was charging alonp tie deck, bawling curses and waving a revolver. Suddenly he stopped nr though paralyzed, and the weapon dropped unheeded from his nerveless hand. A shrill civ had cut through the confusion like a lightning flash, thrilling with terror "Fire In the for d hold!" Kven as the cry rang out a column of smoke poured from the still open forward cargo hatch. "To the boats for your lives! Th« for d cargo is powder:" Lars Pieterson HARRISBTTRO STAR-INDEPENDENT, SATURDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 19, 1914. shouted and led the panic stricken rusli thnt followed, bv which Cecil, forgot ten. was hurled aside. With Incredible swiftness the schoon er's two bouts were lowered, the men tumbled In and the oars tore the water into foam. Already the flames, feed lug on some highly Inflammable mate rial, were leaping from the hatch, and the explosion of the powder might I*' expected at any instant. Cecil looked about hastily with the idea of securing some article which would serve as a support in the water and tore open a deck bouse door with the intention of wrenching it from its hinges. Kaclug him from the interior of the cabin was Betty, her eyes wide with alarm and uncertainty. Before could recover from his astonishment the girl sprang forward aud pushed him violently aside. At the same Instant 11 revolver cracked lie hind him. and the bullet brushed Ills temple. hlrling about. Cecil recogniz ed the malicious face of Monte Carson, contorted by rage and lit up by the red glare of the tire forward. It was the Xajhoy that Carson had selected for the escape of himself and Betty from England, and as a precau tion both had kept to their cabins since coming aboard. Carson, feeling that the strain was over and that the Ira mediate future did not require his close personal supervision, had imme diately indulged in a quart of Irish whisky, with the result that he did not immediately rouse at the noise on deck appearing only at the same instant thnt Cecil opened tile door to Betty'* cabin. To Carson's befuddled iulnd there came but one thought-that by some means Cecil luul tracked them and was about to recover possession of the girl and that he tCarsoni would again suf fer the humiliation of defeat. Also vaguely he realized that if Cecil should be killed Betty, as his widow, would recover the fortune she had thrown away. It would be gratifying to his bate and advantageous to his interest to kill Cecil, and the opportunity seem ed to present itself. His first rourder ;HlS shot failing its mission. (Jarsou took refuge behind the charthouse, "He will kill you! Shoot him!" Bet ty cried, and stretched out her bands to Cecil in an agony of appeal. "But 1 haven't a gun. y* know!" Cecil stammered. "Oh. Betty gill"— Front his cover Mr. Carson tried an other shot, and Cecil's left arm weut suddenly limp and useless. "Oh. God!" Betty moaned. Her des pairing eyes (lashed frantic, searching glances about the vessel, seeking for something that might serve us a weap on. On the open deck, gleaming in the light of the llanies. was Pieterson's re volver. and with a choking cry that was a prayer of thanksgiving she sprang forward and caught it up. "Now!" she panted, and thrust the weapon into Cecii's hand. "Don t look, beloved." he whispered gently, and sprang across the deck so that the corner of the house no longer gave (shelter to the gambler. Two shots blended their reports, and Monte Carson crumpled and fell, a bullet through hLs heart. Cecil, with a hap-j py smile, turned to Betty and held oat bis one good arm. "It is over." he said simply. "For what he has done to you he deserved a hundred deaths. Now you must come back to my heart." Slowly she drew near until, leaning against his breast, she looked deep f \ '' • "We are not to live, sweetheart," Cecil told her. into his eyes.

Grauel Let the Kiddies Have a Piece Some mothers tell me, quite as if it watt a thine to be proud of, that their children never have a thing to eat be tween meals. Poor little things! They never stop growing from the moment they aro born until they reach maturity; now, how can they grow if they are not fed? A child's stomach is small; it is not possible for a growing child to eat as much as an adult at a meal, but he is really more hungry and needs food more. The childish craving for frequent feeding is natural and should be encouraged. Irregular "piecing," a bowl of milk and bread, a slice of broa.l spread thick with sugar and butter or some wholesome cereal food will not derange stomachs of little folks. As they grow up they will naturally settle upon fixed times for eating and the habit of eating between meals will be left behind with other childish wavs. The fault of youth are things we all outgrow, more's the pity. Children need foods that make tissue, bone, and strength, like meat (in small amounts and well done), eggs, milk and cereals. Fatty foods children do not need, their blood flows freely and warmly without its carbonizing action, for while the heat of an adult is some 98 degrees that of healthy youngsters is around 103 decrees. A child that is fed plentv of whole some foods, with fruit and milk in abundance, will not crave rich pastries, butter cakes and fat meats. Where such a craving exists it must be over come or surely a weak stomach in later life will be the price of the indulgence. Muscle and bone making foods are wheat and other cereal breads, crushed wheat, oat meal, rolled oats, potatoes, DOEHNE BEER ; J A Beer brewed with a double purpose— | ;» To please the palate as a beverage; ?

Ryan, a prominent mem ber of the cast, on charges of being a fugitive from justice. A man, who said he had been swin dled by Ryan in 1913, recognized his face on the screen. Tho Los Angeles police, wired here to arrest him. Ac cording to the police, Ryan, who lives at 4827 Kingsessing avenue, escaped arrest in Los Angeles, after passing worthless drafts on a Philadelphia bank for sums aggregating $320. Ho camS to this city in November, 1913, ob-J tained a position with the Lubin Com- 1 pany and played minor parts. ; onions, cabbage, milk, eggs, and lean meats. Fat foods are most harmful to children: Sugar does not id, jure the teeth, if pure it is wholesome. What harms th« teeth is a lack of lime and other min eral matter in the rest of the diet. Lime water added to milk of children up to six years of age insures strong white tepth, in the majority of cases. Cake and rich desserts are not bad for children because of the sugar they con tain but because they are greasy and too hard of digestion for the undevel oped stomach. Children should eat at least four times a day at intervals of about four hours; six hours is too long for a grow itig child to go without food. If you refuse your child food when it is craved you arc not making it healthy or hap py, you are blunting its natural desire for growing material and it will be stunted and dwarfish in both mind and body. You can give your children too much rich food but you will not be able to give your growing boy and girl too much strong nourishing food. Children should have their heaviest meal in the middle of the day. A glass of milk or bread and milk or a Tight lunch should be given before bedtime, but to feed a child a henrtv evening dinner with the rest of the family and then send it direct to bed is sure to produce restless sleep and bad dreams. In a department of this sort it is not posible to give specific directions for children's diet. Too much must be considered and too much is at. stake. Ask a trained nurse; one who is ortho idox and in good health herself; she will gladly advise you and do it well.
