"Ahoy!" came a faint answering hail. "Be ashore in a minute." It was not one, but many min utes before a battered and unpaint ed rowboat drew up alongside at the oars a squat, thick bodied man with a prognathous jaw, stiff and busy black brows that grew into a single line. His eyes were keen and alert and openly studied the recruit, "So you got one man at least, Miss Geneva?" "Yes," the girl said briskly. 'But he's not from Leonardtown he's from one of those oil boats. "I'll sit aft," the girl called and dropped into the stern, there to sit staring ahead, her eyes bigger and more sombre than ever. It was when the deeply laden rowboat was perhaps half way out to the nearest of the ships that Donald Colby received his first shock. He was, with deep interest, studying the web of rusted cables securing the Monticello to the shore when, high overhead, sounded three sharp noises. Wap! Wap! Wap! followed by a throat tearing cry. bo redolent oi agony and mortal fear was it that Colby felt the hair on the back of his neck lift as they had that time when a trio of Paraguayan mestizos had come leaping into his quarters pois ing bloodied bayonets and very anx ious to kill for the greater glory of la Republica. As though paralyzed, the oars men paused in mid stroke and in the ensuing breathless silence wa ter dripping from his oar blades made a pattering sound, loud out of all proportions. "What what was that?" he quavered. "Three shots generally mean that somebody's getting hurt," Colby observed with macabre calm. "Oh, oh " the girl's bright lips writhed, a hand flashed up to her heart and she started violently. "Hurry, Dutton' for God's sake hurry! Maybe it s where was Father when you came away?" The oarsman made no reply, only dug his stout ash blades deep into the steaming surface while Colby, snatching up an extra pair of oars, quickly added his powerful strokes NOTICE OF EXECUTION SALE NORTH CAROLINA, HAYWOOD COUNTY, IN THE SUPERIOR COURT H.

"Where was Father?" the girl once more anxiously demanded. "Dunne I was in my cabin. Everything was quiet." With magic suddenness a tower ing wall of steel loomed just ahead of the rowboat's prow. Back! Back hard!" screamed the girl and the two rowers were only barely able to prevent a crash ing impact, "Oh, Dutton, where's the ladder? Quick! We must hurry.' Ahoy! A voice hailed excit edly from the mist above. "Hurry up! Something's happened hear them shots?" Yes! Which way is the ladder?" Colby called. "To yer right hurry up!" A passengers laddtr material ized a moment later and while Colby quickly made fast the painter the girl sprang out and went run ning up the ladder with Dutton at her heels. : On gaining the deck of the Monti- cello, otherwise known as the Kaiser Wilhelm II, Colby found his companions on a wide promenade deck along which many blank port holes stared at them like so many vacant eyes. "V hat s happened, Hartnev?'' demanded the girl in quivering ac cents. "Don't know," growled the watch man, "and I don't give a damn." Buttoning up a frayed pea-jacket the blunt featured individual start ed for the rail, "I've had enough of this here business. I'm qqittin' before they get me, too." "But you can't quit!" protested the Benet girl catching desperately at the would be deserter s sleeve. You signed on for two months." Hartney thrust her roughly aside. "Lay off. I wouldn't stay no longer on these rotten floating cof fins for five hundred grand.' "But you've got to stay " the girl insisted, her voice harsh with des peration. "At least until I we can get somebody to take your place." "Nothm' doin'!" Hartney started down the ladder, but Colby's hand shot out, closed on the pea-jacket's collar and rounded the deserter up snort. : "Hartney, you're staying here,'' he announces quietly. "You've signed Articles." "Maybe. But gettin's murdered wasn't in them," snarled the pris oner and aimed a stinging left at the tall stranger's head. Curiously enough ' that narrow dark head wasn't there any more and it was Hartney who fell sprawling on the deck as a man is apt when he catches a jolting uppercut. under the chin. Now maybe youU obey orders?" Colby with a tight smile jerked an automatic from the fallen man's coat pocket. "I'm borrowing this just in case you might get some unwise inspiration." "Now you and you, top," he in cluded Dutton, "are going to do just what you're told to do and when you re told to do it Get that?" ' "Oh hurry! For God's sake hurry!" the girl's eyes became dark pools of anxiety. "Somebody Father may be hurt or in deadly danger." "Steady get a hold on yourself," Colby flung at her and then trans ferred his attention to Hartney, "Where did you last see Captain Benet?" "He 'llowed he was goin over on the Mount Vernon," mumbled the swarthy watchman.

"Miss Benet," Colby announced as he checked Hartney's .32 auto matic and the contents of its cham ber ht? was careful on such points, "Dutton and I are going to take a look around. You'd better stay here on the Monticello,' The girl's cloche hat shook in vio lent objection. "No, I don't want to. ! Please let me go with you. I've Colby made an impatient noise. 'You are not. You'll stay here and wait until we come back. Have you got a gun?" Yes, I've one in my cabin but I'm going with you," "Don't be such a fool!" Colby rasped and his expression grew sur prisingly forbidding while he won dered at her strange persistency. "Who would get word ashore if anything happened to Dutton and me? Can you do that?" "I'll keep Miss Benny company," Hartney instantly volunteered, " 'cause you kin beat the hell outta me and still I won't go onto the Mount Vernon not for all the money in Maryland."

Cecil Brown and Capt. Thelma Colton, of the Maple Springs Citadel. Major and Mrs. Edward Laity and Adjutant and Mrs. Frank Longino, leading Carolina Salva tion Army officials from Charlotte, will be present for the meeting. Adjutant Longino will be in charge of the service. The visiting of ficers are exceptionally talented in music and are good speakers. The public is extended a welcome by Adjt. Brown and Capt. Col ton. Most farm homemakers have re ceived their home-canning sugar certificate, and have been allotted one pound of sugar for every four quarts of finished fruit to be put up. "This may not sound likke enough to some people," says Mrs. Cornelia C. Morris, extension food conservationist of N. C. State Col lege, 'but it will suffice if care is used." The extension worker makes the following sugar-saving suggestions to home-canners: If you pack your fruit hot in its own juice, you will need much less sugar than if you pack the fruit cold, then cover it with sugar-and-water syrup. Re member, sugar is not needed in canning to keep food from spoil-. ing. But it does help the fruit to hold color and flavor. By sweet ening the fruit slightly, and then heating it, you can draw out the juice from the fruit itself in many cases make it unnecessary to can any added water. For juicy fruits, usually it's best to separate the riper fruits from those less ripe. Then you can crush the riper fruits, heat them, ami extract juice from them. Pre heat the less ripe fruit, which you have set aside, in this juice. Add sugar to sweeten slightly if neces sary. rill the jars. Make sure there is plenty of juice to cover the fruit. Process in a water bath Certain varieties of peaches an pears may not yield enough of their own juice to make the can ning liquid. You'll get more juice from these fruits if you slice them and add a little sugar before vou pre-cook them. If there isn't enough juice to cover the fruit in the cans, use syrup to fill the jars a syrup made from one or more cups of sugar to one quart of water.
