Long 1 hour afterward Norton
jOpened hla aching eyea He could hard-
ily move and hla head bulled abomi-
'nably What had happened! What
wae tbe meaning of tbla alow rlae and
' Call ot hla bedt Bhanghaledl
1 "Come out o' that now ye akulk-
eel” roared a voice down the com-
pan Ion way
"Sbanghaledr the reporter mur-
mured He ant up and ran through
hla pockeia Not a aou-markee not a
match even and a aecond glance told
him that the clothea be wore were not
hla own "They've landed me this
time ' Shanghaied! What the devil
am I going to do?"
"Dye hear me?" bawled tbe stri-
dent voice again
Norton looked about desperately for
'some weapon of defense He eaw an
engineer’s spanner on the floor by tbe
bunk across the way and with no
small physical effort he succeeded in
obtaining It He stood up bis hand be-
'hind bis back
“All right me bucko! I'll come
down an' git ye!”
A pair of enormous boots began
to appear down the companion way
and there gradually rose up from
them a man as wide as a church door
'and as deep as a well
"Walt a moment" said Norton grip-
ping the spanner "Let us have a per-
' feet understanding right off the bat"
"We’re going t‘ have It matfey
Don’t ye worry none"
Norton raised the spanner and
dizzy as he was faced this seafaring
Hercules courageously
"I’ve been shanghaied and you
know It Where are we bound?”
"Copenhagen" '
"Well for a month or more you’ll
beat me up whenever the opportunity
'Offers But I merely wish to warn you
that If you do you’ll And a heap of trou-
f' ble waiting for you the next time you
' drop your mudhook In North Amer-
ica" -
"Is that so?" said the giant eying
tbe spanner and the shaking band that
held It aloft
t “It Is I’ll take your orders and do
the best I can because you've got tbe
upper band But God la witness
you'll pay for every needless blow you
strike Now what do you want me to
do?”
“Lay down that spanner an’ come
on deck I’ll tell ye what t’ do I was
goln' t' whale th' daylights out o' ye
I t ye're somethin’ av a man Drop
the Bpanner first”
Norton hesitated As lithe as a ti-
ger the bulk of a man sprang at him
and crushed him to the floor wrench-
ing away the spanner Then the giant
took Norton by the scruff ot his neck
and banged him up the steps to the
deck

THURSDAY NIGHT
"I ain't goln' t’ hurt ye I had t’
show ye that no spanner ever bothered
Mike Bannock Now d’ know what
a cook’s galley Is?"
’’I do"' said Norton breathing hard
"Well hike there an' start In with
peelin’ spuds an’ don’t waste 'em
neither That’ll be all fer th' present
Ye were due for a wallopin' but I
klnda like yer spunk"
So Jim stumbled down to the cook's
gallery and grimly set to work at the
potatoes It might have been far
worse But here he was likely to bo
on tbe high seas for months and no
way of notifying Jonee what had hap-
pened' The outlook was anything but
cheerful 1 But a vague hope awoke In
his heart If they were still after him
might It not signify that Florence
lived
Meantime Bralne had not been Idle
According to Vroon the girl’s memory
was in bad shape so he bad not tbe
least doubt of bringing her back to
New York without mishap Once he
bad her there the game would begin
in earnest He played his cards ex-
ceedingly well Steaming up into the
little fishing harbor with a handsome
yacht In Itself would allay any dis-
trust And he wore a capital disguise
too Everything went well till he
laid bis hand on Florence's shoulder
8he gave a startled cry and ran over
to Barnes clinging to him wildly
"No no!" she cried
"Now what my child?" asked the
sailor
She shook her head Her aversion
was inexplicable
“Come my dear can’t you see that
it is your father?" Braine turned to
the captain "She baa been like this
tor a year Heaven knows If she’ll
ever be in her right mind again"
sadly “I was giving her an ocean
voyage with the kindest nurses pos-
sible and yet she Jumped overboard
Colne Florence”
The girl wrapped her arms all the
tighter around Barnes’ neck
An idea came Into the old sailor's
head "Of course sir y’ve got proof
thet she’s your daughter?”
"Proof?” Braine was taken aback
"Yes somethin' t' prove that you’re
her father I got skinned out of a
sloop once because I took a man’s
word at its face value Black an’
white an' on paper says I hereafter"
"But I never thought of such a
thing” protested Braine beginning
to lose his patience “I can't 'risk
sending to New York for documents
She is my daughter and you will find
it will not pay to take this peculiar
stand”
"In black an’ white ’r y’ can’t have
her"
Braine thereupon rushed forward to
seize Florence Barnes swung Flor-
ence behind him
“I guess she’ll stay here a leetle
longer Blr”
Time was vital end this obstinacy
any travel information
Agent or write
tot
t
iad Brain arms e reached
again for Florence
"Clear out o’ bars 'r show your-authority”
growled Barnes
"She goes with me or you'll ro-
gret It"
"All right But I guess th' law
won’t hurt me none I'm In mf rights
There’s the door mister”
"I refuse to go without her I"
Barnes sighed He was on land a
man ot peace but there was a limit
to bis patience He seized Braine by
the' shoulders and hustled him out of
the house ’
"Bring your proofs mister an’
nothin' morqll be said but till y’
bring ’em keep away from tbls cob
tage" '
And simple-minded sailor that be
waa be thought tbls settled the mat-
ter That night be kept hla ear open for
unusual sounds but be merely wasted
his night’s rest Quite naturally he
reckoned that the stranger would
make hla attempt at night Indeed
he mads It in broad daylight with
Barnes not a hundred yards away
calking a dory whose seams had
sprung aleak Braine had Florence
upon the chartered yacht before tbe
old man realized what had happened
He never taw Florence again but one
day months later he read all about
her In a newspaper
Florence fought but she was weak
and so the oonquest was easy Braine
was kind enough sow that he had
her safe He talked 'to her but she
merely stared at the receding coast
“All right don’t talk if you don’t
wart to Here" to one ot the men
"take her to tbe cabin and keep her
there But don’t you touch her I’ll
break you If you do Put her In the
cabin and guard tbe door at least
keep an eye on it She may take It
Into her head to Jump overboard”
Even the temporarily demented are
not without a species of cunning
Florence had never seen Bralne till
he appeared at the Barnes cottage Yet
she revolted at the touch of his band
On the second day out toward New
York she found a box ot matches and
blithely eet fire to her cabin walked
out into the corridor and thence to
the deck When the fire was discov-
ered it had gained too much headway
to be stopped Tbe yacht was doomed
They put off In the boats and for half
a day drifted helplessly
Fate hae everything mapped out like
a game ot chess You move a pawn
and bang goea your bishop or your
knight or your king or she lets you
almost win a game and then check-
mates you But there Is one thing to
be said in her favor — rail at her how
we will she is always giving odds to
the innocent
Mike Bannock was In the pilothouse
looking over his charts when the look-
out in the crow's nest sang out: "Two
boats adrift off the port bow sir!" And
Bannock who was a first-class sailor
although a rough one shouted down
the tube to the engine room Tbe
freighter came to a halt in about ten
minutes The castaways saw that they
had been noted and pulled gallantly
at the oars '
There are some things which sci-
ence well advanced as It 10 cannot
explain Among them Is the shock
which cuts off the past and the coun-
tercheck which reawakens memory
They may write treatise after treatise
and expound but they never succeed
“Girl I Love You Better Than Life"
In truly getting beyond that dark wall
of mystery
At tbe sound of Jim Norton's voice
and at the sight of his face — for sub-
consciously she must have been think-
ing othim all the while— a great blind-
ing heat-wave seemed to burn across
her eyes and when the effect passed
away she was herself again” ’ A wild
glance it her surroundings convinced
her that both she and her lover were
In danger ' ?
"Keep back" whispered Jim "Don’t
recognize me" - i
"They believe that I’ve lost i qiy
mind and I’ll kehp that idea in their
bends Sometime tonight I'll find a
chance to" talk to you”
It took a good deal of cautious ma-
neuvering to bring about the meeting
"They shanghled me And I thought
you dead! It was all wrong It was
a trick of that Perigoff -woman and it
succeeded Girl girl 1 love you better
than life!" "
JT know It now" she said and sbo
klssod him "Has my father appeared
yet?”
"No”
“Do you know anything at all about
him?" sadly
A Broader Sphere for Religion— New
Field for the Rural Church
By Peter Radford
Lecturer National Farmers' Union
The social duty of the rural church
Is as much n part of It obligation
as Its spiritual side in expressing its
social Interest the modern rural
church does not hesitate to claim that
it la expressing a true religious In-
stinct and tbe old-time idea that the
social Instincts should be starved
while the spiritual nature waa over-
fed with solid theological food la fast
giving way to a broader lnterpretar
tlon of the functions of true religion
We take our place in the succession
of those who have sought to make tbe
world A fit habitation for the children
ot man when we seek to study and
understand the social duty ot the
rural church The true Christian re-
ligion is essentially social — its tenets
of faith being love and brotherhood
and fellowship While following after
righteousness the church must chal-
lenge and seek to reform that social
order In which moral life Is ex-
pressed While cherishing ideals of
service the rural church which at-
tains the fullest measure of success
is that which enriches as many lives
as it can touch and In no way can
the church come in as close contact
with Its members as through the
avenue of social functions
Tbe country town and the rural
community need a social center Tbe
church need offer no apology for Its
ambition to fill this need in the com-
munity If an understanding of Its
mission brings this purpose into clear
consciousness The structure of a
rural community Is exceedingly com-
plex It contains many social groups
each ot which has its own center but
there are many localities which have
but one church and although such
a church cannot command the inter-
est of all tbe people it Is relieved
from the embarrassment of religiously
divided communities
Social Needs Imperative
The average country boy and girl
have very little opportunity for real
enjoyment and have as a rule a
vague conception of the meaning of
pleasure and recreation It Is to fill
this void In the lives of country youth
that the rural church has risen to
tbe necessity of providing entertain-
ment as well as Instruction to its
membership among the young f Tbe
children and young people of tbe
church should meet when religion la
not even mentioned It has been
found safest for them to meet fre-
quently under the direction and care
of the church To send them Into the
world with no social training exposes
them to grave perils and to try to
keep them out' of the world with no
social privileges Is sheer folly There
is a social nature to both old and
young but the social requirements ot
the young are Imperative The church
muBt provide directly or Indirectly
some modern equivalent for the husk-
ing bee the quilting bee and the sing-
ing schools of the old "days In one
way or another the social instincts
of our young people must have oppor-
tunity for expression which may
take the form ot clubs parties pic-
nics or other forms of amusement
One thing Is certain and that is that
the church cannot take away the
dance the card party and tbe theatre
unless it can offer In Its place a sat-
isfying substitute In the form of more
jileasing recreation
Universal Instinct for Play’
In providing for enjoyment the
church uses one of the greatest meth-
ods by which human Boclety has de-
veloped Association is never secure
until It Is pleasurable In play the In-
stinctive aversion of one person -for
another Is overcome and tbe social
mood is fostered Play Is tbe chief
educational agency In rural commun-
ities and In the play-day of human
childhood social sympathy and social
habits are evolved A Individuals
come together In social gatherings
their viewpoint Is broadened their
Idealsare lifted aad finally they con-
stitute a cultured and refined society
It Is plain therefore that the
church which aims at a perfected so-
ciety must use in a refined and ex-
alted way the essential factors In
social evolution and must avail itself
of the universal Instinct for play
If the church surrounds Itself with
social functions which appeal to the
young among Its membership It will
fill a large part of the lamentable
gap in rural pleasures and will reap
the richest reward by promoting a
higher and better type ot manhood
nd womanhood

A HUDSON
‘ Worth Knowing
Every person when Vie take up hla
cards at a game of whist holds one out
of 635013569600 possible bands As
for the total number of variations
possible among all players It is so
enormous as almost to exceed belief
Mr Ba’bbage calculated that if 1000-
000 men were to be engaged dealing
cards at tbe rate of one deal every
minute day and night for 10000000
years they would not have exhausted
all the possible variations of tbe cards
but only one one hundred thousandth
