He had not expected this sudden onslaught He had been completely off his guard. The resuscitation of the old grievance was in itself a blow in the mouth. Good Heavens, think of those old days and nights of the closest intimacy and mutual reliance during the war. Surely to God they must have wiped out the' sting of defeat in the case of Chrissie? She I had never been tinder any obligation to Sherwood. She had been as free us air to choose a man to love. 1 "You silly ass." said Tony stag gering to his feet and wet to ths shin. I'VV/iat on earth's the idea." '.There was no earthly reason, of 'course, why this extraordinary Ted ,dv shouldn’t continue to adore Chris tie. There was nothing queer about ■ that But, damn it, why didn’t the , funny old thing get it into his head . t hat she belonged to some one else ‘.who also adored her, that she was, oddly enough, happy, ecstatically 1 happy, and, moreover, contented, dif ficult as some people seemed to find jit to believe. All the same, it was 1 'frightfully upsetting to have to put up the devils’ own fight against a man one liked so tremendously, who Jhad been such a real good sport and 'to shorn one owed a debt of grati tudt that could never be repaid. “Now, then—old—son,' he gasp ed, "that’s quite—enough. Chuck— it." Sherwood gave a sort of scream , Lnd redoubled his efforts. * i Whereupon, for every reason in she world, Tony decided to bring this J illy business to an end. It was » Tightening Chrissie, it might disturb ‘the peace of the ship, and it would j -ventually ruin a suit of clothes that had been marked out for many Sun days on the island, j “All right,” he said, and with his dander up, went to it. He knew this game. Hours of his old-time leisure .every day had been spent in the gym inasium. He had boxed and wrestled with a wide selection of the men who did these things. Crash!—One or two more like that. Want some more? Well, then, crash again. Still not satisfied? What’s the matter with the man? Another crash. Talk about split ting coconuts. Saw stars that time, what? Whv, good Lord, he loves it. All right, then. Crash. How’s that? “You silly ass,” said Tonv, stag gering to his feet, dishevelled and \ve', to the skin. “What—what on earth’s—the idea?” , And there lay Sherwood, battered. Stertorous, his head as big as a pumpkin, his heart in his throat. ,But was he done? Not he. First one hand on the floor, then the other, [then a knee, then up, swaying, un certain of his feet; a supreme effort, a mighty lunge at Tony’s body, met by a knock-out blow from an expert left. That was all. And when he stood over the ta iscasible body of the man for whom he had so great an affection Tony’s eyes were full of tears. “You con ® founded idiot,” he cried out, “Why rio you make me do these rotten things ?" IV * j It was something after one o’clock when Tony left Teddy Sherwood’s room with Chrissie. His tie was awry, his clothes un recognizable. his face grave. *T 1 must have a pipe before I turn in,“ ' be said, “and get some air. Get to bed, darling; 1 won't be long. You km’st be very tired.” j “I am,” said Chrissie, “but I’m jgoing out with you.” I He touched her cheek with a ten der finger. “Good old Chris. Yost ’always do that.” They went out and stood by the starboard rail, amidships, hand in SH the dark. had carried Sherwood to id, as once before, he had over his friend and brought him back to consciousness. Thl* time Sherwood had said nothing, but had given way to a violent fit 5 Weeping, which waa worse, Fitt% ;he had asked to be Wt alooeVT*d thanked them and said, Tm sorry. SjyrAwr TKflv had turned out Ida Mi laid nothin* and imii ■■■! -T' jwss nothing to be said. _ farther ahead than he could see; ii possible, not to think at all He had no ideas about 4, no explanations) no excuses. He bad never given it a name as was the fashion, called himself a Fatalist, a Presentist, of any newfangled thing. He neithef knew nor cared to know the snqanl ing of these terms. When people accused him of an inability to think, he simply said, with the most as J founding honesty and utter freedom from cant, “Well, that’s me,” anq let it go, with a laugh. The far was, and he knew it without the in tricate dissection of psychoanalyst which merely provides new name, for old weaknesses, that he had been born without a thinking box, as some unfortunate men are borr without an ear for music, or a sense of colour. Nature, extremely kirn', at times, had done very well by him in this respect. Given the gift o. : thought which would have brought tomorrow within his focus, he would have been unable to retain the blaz ing optimism which carried him through today, or to have made to fine a fighting man. During the war the thinkers were the people wh«« had shell-shock or were shot u'. against a wall for cowardice and desertion. The* only people whe could to think wore bras, hats and stuck pins in maps and talked about strategy far behind the 'ines. The war would have been over several years sooner, perhap*. if most of them had been sent up nearer to the front. “To me,” said Tony, after a brief and futile effort, “the thing that comes out of this is that Teddy is a very faithful chap. I believe he lqves you as much as I do, Chris, and he couldn’t do more than that." He put his arm around her and. drew her close. “Urn,” said Chrissie, with her head against his shoulder, “but in 1 very different way. What are we going to do, Tony? What are we going to do?” "You mean he’ll attack me again and go on attacking until he gets you for himself?" “Yes,” she said. “He’s ill. He said so. He’s worse than he thinks he is. Long ago, if you remember, . he had mad moments. Now he’s ml . together mad. This yacht is all a part of it. His behaviour since we , started. His way of throwing up smoke screens. His affection to , night.” j "Affection tonight.— My God I” 1 There came into his mind the after , dinner episode. I “What? ' Why did you say that?’’ ! She peered into his face. "When we left the dining room to play bridge and I was taking a cou -1 pie of turns in the air, he pounced ; and clutched me, said he skidded on 1 the wet deck when the Captain joined us.” “Oh, dear; oh, dear,” said Chris sie and drew in her breath between her teeth. Then, suddenly, with a blaze pt the maternal instinct, she flung her arms about his neck. “Oh, Tony, Tony, what are we going to. do? He'll have you. He's after; you. He brought you to sea for ■ this.” i And as he kissed her and held her tight, a curious icy ripple went up j and down his spine. But he laughed 1 and said, "Werre like two children 1 in the woods,” trying to make light of the business. “I’ve always thought that,” she said. “You have no one., I have no? one. And now we’re utterly lost. But. thank God, we have '”*h other. And we must keep Tony. Let nothing happen to break n» apart. Until we get to the island, if ever we do, you must be most frightfully caretuf, you must watch everything, suspect everything, al ways keep with somebody. Swear.” “I swear, darling,” he said. “It’s all quite amazing. And it hits inf devilish hard to know that all our years together in the war left Teddy with the fixed idea that I should he a rotter to you. Well, now we know what it really means when a man goes mad about, a gjrL It’s— what’s the word—disgusting?” “Yes.

Question—How does it differ from the old process? Answef —During vulcanization heat and pressure must bo applied to the tube. The old method used steam to supply this pressure and heat. The new method uses water under high pressure and at steam temperature. _ ( Question —Why does this make a better tube? Answer—ln the old steam method the pressure could not be applied evenly. Small air bubbles were formed in the tube, each of which became a source of weakness. The new Water-Cure Process eliminates the possibility of such bubbles by its heavy, even pressure. It also insures • better union between the tube and the valve-base, and «t the same time gives the rubber itself a finer, longer-wearing, more age-resisting texture. Question — Con water-curing alone make a good tube? Answer —No. A good tube demands goyd rubber, proper con struction and proper splicing as well. Question—How are these prodded in United States Tubes? Answer —The rubber used is Sprayed Rubber, the purest and most uniform rubber known. It is made from rubber latex from the Unitedsthtes Rubber Company’a own plantations, by a process devsloped and patented by the Company. United States Tubes are constructed of Jour plies of rubber. Most other tubes are made of one or at most two. Splicing it done by a specially developed method, which not only assures uniformly strong splices but also limits the pressure and heat to the splice itself and does not tend to weaken the rest of the tube.
