It is my firm belief that you are no- thing more nor less than a common and dangerous German spy. Keep back!” Granet made a stealthy movement forward. He had been edging a little closer to the desk and he was barely two yards away. He uddenly paused. Thomson had closed he drawer now and he was holding a small revolver veg: steadily in his _right_ hand. “That I venture to doubt," Major Thomson replied. “At any rate, there! is enough circumstantial evidence; against you in this book to warrant; my taking the keenest interest in your l future.

Then, iwith the spray beating in their faces, |they swung around and made for the gopen-ing between the two islands. For la time the business of sailing kept them both occupied. In two hours’ time they were standing out towards Bishop Lighthouse. Job Rowsell took a long breath and filled a pipe with tobacco. He was looking more him- [seltf now. “Look here,” he said, taking his seat at the tiller, “this is my show. Job Rowsell. There’s a five pound note for you at the end of the day, if you go Where I tell] you and noâ€" where else.” The man eyed him sullenly. A few minutes later they were rushing out {of the harbor. They were in a queer part of the broken; rocky group. There was a great indenture in the rocks 11 which the sea came hissing; to t e left, round the corner, the lighthouse. Granet drew what looked to be a lange pocket-handkerchief from the inner pocket of his coat, pulled down their pennant with nimble fingers, tied on another and hauled it up. Job Rowsell started at him. “What’s that?” “It’s the German flag, you fool,” Granet answered. plied. “I want you to take me out sailing Is your boat ready?” The man glanced u-p a_t the sky. “I don‘t know as I want to gm” he grumbled. “There’s dirty weather about.” They harbor. compm on the the sai “Don't you mind who I am,” Granxet answered. “I’m on a job I’m going to see through.

Granet scrambled down imio a small dinghy which was tied to the side of the stone wall. ' “We'd better be getting on boand,” he suggested. Rowsell stared at him for a moment but acquiesced. They pulled across and boarded the “Saucy Jane.” A boy whom they found on deck took the boat back. Rows‘ell set his sails slowly but with precision.

The mo- ment he stepped on board he seemed to become an altered man. “Where mighi you be Wanting to go ?” he asked. “You’ll need them oi‘l- skins, sure.” “I want to run out to the Bishop Lighthouse,” Granet announced. Rowsel-l shook his head. “It’s no sort of a day to face the Atlantic, sir,” he declared. “We’ll try a spin round St. Mary and White Island, if you like.” 7 Grahet fastened his oilskins anud stooped for a moment to alter one of the sails. l “I think you’d better,” Granet urg- I ed. “I’m not a badvpayer and I can help with the boat. Let’s go and look at her, any way.” They walked together down to the harbor. Granet said very lh'ttle, his companion nothing at all.

M inard’s Linimtnt Used by Veterinaries But for his own happiness, everyâ€" one should try to achieve continuity of thought and self-expression. It may be that for some persons such continu- ity is not to be had in the daily voca- tion. The work may be of so me- chanical a nature as to offer no maâ€" terial for thought to work on, or itll may be of so uncongenial a nature as; not to stimulate thought. Then therel ought to be some ave-cation that would supply both the material and the stimulus; in a man’s leisure ‘hour he can be continuous. Every normal per- son has a special and healthy interest in something, yet few persons ever learn to pursue their special interest intelligently. Most persons dawd-le over it instead of working over it; they aren’t continuous in dealing with it, and consequently it never assumes a definite importance or communicates a real purpose to their lives. The people who by continuous thought and effort discover in their special inter- est a purpose that is personal to them‘ are pretty sure to make their lives happy and fruitful, however dull and dragging may be the daily job. Diamond Dyes Don’t Streak, Fade or Run ously. The routine of life doesn't in- terest them enough; the daily job, whether it calls for mental or manual effort, does not engage their thoughts as a continuing process in the shaping of which their faculties are employed as wellvselec'ted instruments. Perhaps they are somewhat depressed with the feeling that they are not particularly well-selected instruments, that they are razors being used as saws or spoons being used as shovels, and that the imposition of any greater coatinu- ity of service on them than already is required would wear them out so much the faster.
