Once, when he half ralaed It, I taw the sweat standing ln heavy drops on bis forehead about the roots of his hair. "I am a sick man, a very sick man." he repeated again, and yet once again. "What is the matter?" I asked, resting my hand on his Rhoulder. "What can I do for you?" Hut he shook my hand off with an irritated movement, and for a long time 1 stood by his side In silence. Maud was looking on, tier face awed and frightened. What had happened to him we could not Imagine. "Hump," he aald at last, "I must get into my bupk. Lend me a baud. I'll be all right In a little while. It's those damn headaches, I believe. I was afraid of them. 1 had a feellng--no, I don't know what I'm talking iilni.it. Help me into my bunk." £lon boxes they carried la the •oats, and here, but a few feat from their noisy revels, 1 took possession of two boxes. Next, to lower a boat. Not .10 \u25a0\u25a0pie a task for one man. Hav- ing cast i.rr the lashings. I hoist- ed first on the forward tackle, then on the aft, till the boat clearetl the rail, when 1 lowered away, oue tackle and then the other, for v couple of feet, till It hung snugly, above the water, against the schooner's side. I made certain that It contained the proper equipment of oars, row- locks, and sail. Water waa a consideration, and 1 robbed ev>ry boat Hi.iiiinl of Ita breaker Aa there were nine boats all told. It meant that we should have plenty of wjitcr, and ballast as well, though there was the chance that the boat would be overloaded, what of the generous supply of other things 1 was taking. While Maud wus passing me the provisions and I waa storing them in the boat, a Bailor came on deck from the forecastle. He atood by the weather rail for a time, (we were lowering over the lee rail), and then sauntered \u25a0lowly amidships, where he again paused and Btood facing the wind, •wUb his back toward us. 1 could heffr my heart beating as 1 \u25a0touched low In the boat. Maud bad sunk down upon the deck and was, I knew, lying motionless, her body In the shadow of the bulwark. Hut tlie man never turned, and, after stretching his annH above his head and yawning audibly, he retraced his steps to the forecastle scuttle and disap- peared. A few minutes sufficed to finish tin loading, and 1 lowered the boat iC|to the water. Ah 1 helped Muud over the rail and felt her form i-lose to mine, It was all 1 could do to keep from crying out, "I love you! I love you!" Truly Huiii|iliri>y Van Weyden was at last, in love, 1 thought, as her fin- gers clung tv mine while I low- ered her down to I lie boat. 1 held on to the rail with one band and eupported her weight with the other, and I was proud at the moment of the feat. It was a strength 1 had not possessed a few months In lure, on the day 1 said good-bye to Charley Furuseth and started for San Francisco on the yX-ijUyil Marline/.. boat ascended on a sea, her feet touched and 1 released her hands. I cast off the tackles and leaped after her. I bad never rowed ln my life, but 1 put out the oars and at the expense of much effort got the boat clear of the (Ibost. Then 1 experimented with the sail. I had seen the boat steerers aud hunters set their sprltsalls many times, yet thle was my first attempt. What took them possibly two minutes took me twenty, but ln the end I succeeded in setting and trim- ming 11, and with the steerlng- oar In my bands hauled on the wind. "There Ilea Japan," I remark- ed, "etralght before ua." "Humphrey Van Weyden." she said, "you are a brave man." "Nay," 1 answered, "It Is you who are a brave woman." We turned our heada, awayed by a common Impulse to see the last of the Cbost. Her low hull lifted and rolled to windward on a sea: her canvas loomed darkly In the night; her lashed wheel creaked as the rudder kicked; Ihenslght and sound of her faded away and we were alone ou tho dark sea. riIAPTKR XXVII Day broke, gray and chill. The boat was close-hauled on a fresh breeze nnd the compass Indicated that we were Just making the course which would bring us to Japan. Though stoutly mlllened. my fingers were cold, and they pained from the grip on the steer- lng-oar. My feet were stinging from the bite of the frost, and I hoped fervently that the sun would shine. lief on- me, in the bottom of the boat, lay Maud. She, at least, was warm, for under her and over her were thick blankets. The top one I had drawn over her face to shelter It from the night, so I could Bee nothing but the vngue shape of her, and her llght-browu hair, escaped from the covering and Jeweled with moisture from the air. Hut when I got htm Into bis bunk he again burled his face in ins hands, covering his eyes, and us I turned to go I could hear him murmuring, "I am a sick ma ii. a very sick man." Maud looked at me Inquiring- ly as 1 emerged. 1 shook my head, saying: "Something has happened to him. What. 1 don't know. He is helpless, and frightened, I im- agine, for the first time in his life, it must have occurred be- fore he received the knife-thrust, which made only a superficial wound. You must have seen \\ hut happened." * She shook her head. "I saw nothing. It is just aa mysteri- ous to me. lie suddenly released me and staggered away. But what shall we do? What Bball 1 do?" Long 1 looked at her, dwelling upon that one visible bit of her as only a man would who deemed It the nniHl prccloul thing in the world. Ho insistent was my gaze that at lust she stirred under the blankets, tlie top fold was thrown buck inn' she smiled out on me, her eyes yet heavy with sleep "Oood morning, Mr. Van Wey- den," she said. "Have you sight- ed laud yet?" "If you will wait, please, until I come back." I answered. 1 went on deck. Louts was at the wheel. "You may go for'ard and turn in," 1 said, taking It from hiui. lie was quick to obey, and I found myself alone on the deck of the Ghost. As quietly as was possible, 1 clewed up the topsails, lowered the flying Jib and stay- sail, backed the jib over, and flattened the mainsail. Then l went below to Maud. I placed my finger on my lips for silence, and entered Wolf Larsen a room. He was ln the same posit ion ln which I had left him, and his head was rocking -almost writhing- -from aide to side. "Anything I can do for you?" I asked. He made no reply at first, but on my 'repeating the question he answered, "No, no: I'm all right. Leave me alone till morning." But as I turned to go I noted that bis head had resumed Its rocking motion. Maud waa wait- ing patiently for me, and I took notice, with a thrill of joy, of the queenly poise of her head and her glorious, calm eyes. Calm and sure they were as her spirit Itself. "No," 1 answered, "but we nrc approaching it at a rate of six inilcs an hour." She made a move of disappoint nien I. "Hut that is equivalent to one hundred and forty-four miles In twenty-four hours," 1 added re- asHtirtngly. Her fuce brightened. "And how far have we to go?" "Slberoiii lies off there." I said, pointing to tlie west. "But to the southwest, some six hundred miles, is Japan. If tills wind should hold, we'll mak)e It ln five days." "And If It storms? The boat could not live?" She had a way of looking one In the eyes and demanding the truth, and thus she looked at me aa she asked the question. "lt would have to storm very Will you trust yourself to me for a Journey of six hundred miles or so?" I asked. "You mean—?" she asked, and 1 knew she-had guessed aright. "Yes, I mean just that," I ree- plied. "There Is nothing left for us but the open boat." "For me, you mean," she sajld. "You are certainly aa safe here as you have been." » "No, there Is nothing left for us but the open boat," I Iterated stoutly. "Will you please dress as warmly as you can, at once, and make Into a bundle whatever you wish to bring with you." "And make all haste," I added, as she turned toward her state- room. The lazarette was directly be- neath the cabin, and, opening the trap-door in the floor and carry- ing a candle with me, 1 dropped down and began overhauling the ship's stores. I selected mainly from the canned goods, and by the time I was ready, willing hands were extended from above to receive what 1 passed up. We worked in silence. I help- ed myself also to blankets, mit- tens, oilskins, caps, and such things, from the slop-chest. It waa no light adventure, this trusting oursel/ea In a amall boat to so raw and stormy a sea, and It was Imperative that we should guard ourselves against the cold and wet. We worked feverishly at carry- ing our plunder on deck and de- positing It amidships, bo fever- ishly that Maud, whose strength was hardly a positive quantity, had to give over, exhausted, and alt on the steps at the break of the poop. This did not serve to recover her, and she lay on her back, on the hard deck, arms stretched out and whole body re- laxed. It was a trick I remem- bered of my sister, and 1 knew she would soon be herself again. I knew, alao, that weapons would not come in amiss, and I re-en- tered Wolf Larsen's state-room to get his rifle and shotgun. I spoke to him, but he made no an- swer, though hia head waa still rocking from side to side and be waa not asleep. "Good-bye, Lucifer," I whis- pered to myself as I softly closed the door. Next to obtain was a stock of ammunition, —an easy matter, though I had to enter the steer- age companionway to do It.

"Why, you are chilled through!" she cried. "Look! You are shivering. Don't deny It; you are. And here I have been lying warm as toast."

She sat up and began making her simple toilet. She shook down her hair, and It fell about her In a brown cloud, hiding her face and shoulders. Dear, damp brown hair! 1 wanted to kiss It, to ripple It through my fingers, to bury my face lv It. I gazed entranced, till the boat ran into tlie wind und the flapping sail warned me 1 was not attending to my duties. Idealist and ro- manticist that I was aud always had been In spite of my analyti- cal nature, yet I had failed till now ln grasping much of the phy- sical characteristics of love. The love of man and woman, I had al- ways held, was a sublimated something related to spirit, a spiritual bond that linked and drew their souls together. The bonds of the flesh bad little part' in my cosmos of love. But I was learning the sweet leison for my-1 self that the soul transmuted it- self, expressed Itself, through the flesh; that the sight and sense and touch of the loved one's hair was as much breath and voice and essence of the spirit as the light that shone from the eyes and the thoughts that fell from the lips. After all, pure spirit was unknowable, a thing to be sensed and divined only; nor could it express itself ln terms of itself. Jehovah was anthropomorphic because he could address himself to the Jews only in terms of their understand- ing; so he was conceived as in their own Image, as a cloud, a pillar of fire, a tangible, physical something which the mind of the Israelites could grasp. And so I gazed upon Maud's light-brown hair, and loved It, and learned more of love than ull the poets and singers had taught me with all their songs and sonnets. She flung It back with a sudden adroit movement, and her face emerged, smiling. (Continued Tomorrow.) PATIENCE--^ DISGUST- JITNEYS! EPIDEMICS IX MKXIfO.

Hi JACK LONDON.it'ontinueil from Yesterday.)lilt head dropped forward on

the table and waa burled In hithands. Front time to time Itrooked back and forward aa withpain. Once, when he half ralaedIt, I taw the sweat standing lnheavy drops on bis foreheadabout the roots of his hair.

"I am a sick man, a very sickman." he repeated again, and yetonce again.

"What is the matter?" I asked,resting my hand on his Rhoulder."What can I do for you?"

Hut he shook my hand off withan irritated movement, and fora long time 1 stood by his sideIn silence. Maud was looking on,tier face awed and frightened.What had happened to him wecould not Imagine.

"Hump," he aald at last, "Imust get into my bupk. Lendme a baud. I'll be all right In alittle while. It's those damnheadaches, I believe. I was afraidof them. 1 had a feellng--no,I don't know what I'm talkingiilni.it. Help me into my bunk."

£lon boxes they carried la the•oats, and here, but a few featfrom their noisy revels, 1 tookpossession of two boxes.

Next, to lower a boat. Not .10\u25a0\u25a0pie a task for one man. Hav-ing cast i.rr the lashings. I hoist-ed first on the forward tackle,then on the aft, till the boatclearetl the rail, when 1 loweredaway, oue tackle and then theother, for v couple of feet, tillIthung snugly, above the water,against the schooner's side. Imade certain that It contained theproper equipment of oars, row-locks, and sail. Water waa aconsideration, and 1 robbed ev>ryboat Hi.iiiinl of Ita breaker Aathere were nine boats all told. Itmeant that we should have plentyof wjitcr, and ballast as well,though there was the chance thatthe boat would be overloaded,what of the generous supply ofother things 1 was taking.

While Maud wus passing methe provisions and I waa storingthem in the boat, a Bailor cameon deck from the forecastle. Heatood by the weather rail for atime, (we were lowering over thelee rail), and then sauntered

\u25a0lowly amidships, where he againpaused and Btood facing the wind,•wUb his back toward us. 1 couldheffr my heart beating as 1\u25a0touched low In the boat. Maudbad sunk down upon the deck andwas, I knew, lying motionless,her body In the shadow of thebulwark. Hut tlie man neverturned, and, after stretching hisannH above his head and yawningaudibly, he retraced his steps tothe forecastle scuttle and disap-peared.

A few minutes sufficed to finishtin loading, and 1 lowered theboat iC|to the water. Ah 1 helpedMuud over the rail and felt herform i-lose to mine, It was all 1could do to keep from crying out,"I love you! I love you!" TrulyHuiii|iliri>y Van Weyden was atlast, in love, 1 thought, as her fin-gers clung tv mine while I low-ered her down to I lie boat. 1 heldon to the rail with one band andeupported her weight with theother, and I was proud at themoment of the feat. It was astrength 1 had not possessed a fewmonths In lure, on the day 1 saidgood-bye to Charley Furuseth andstarted for San Francisco on theyX-ijUyil Marline/..

boat ascended on a sea,her feet touched and 1 releasedher hands. I cast off the tacklesand leaped after her. I bad neverrowed ln my life, but 1 put outthe oars and at the expense ofmuch effort got the boat clear ofthe (Ibost. Then 1 experimentedwith the sail. I had seen theboat steerers aud hunters settheir sprltsalls many times, yetthle was my first attempt. Whattook them possibly two minutestook me twenty, but ln the end

I succeeded in setting and trim-ming 11, and with the steerlng-oar In my bands hauled on thewind.

"There Ilea Japan," I remark-ed, "etralght before ua."

"Humphrey Van Weyden." shesaid, "you are a brave man."

"Nay," 1 answered, "It Is youwho are a brave woman."

We turned our heada, awayedby a common Impulse to see thelast of the Cbost. Her low hulllifted and rolled to windward ona sea: her canvas loomed darklyIn the night; her lashed wheelcreaked as the rudder kicked;Ihenslght and sound of her fadedaway and we were alone ou thodark sea.

riIAPTKR XXVIIDay broke, gray and chill. The

boat was close-hauled on a freshbreeze nnd the compass Indicatedthat we were Just making thecourse which would bring us toJapan. Though stoutly mlllened.my fingers were cold, and theypained from the grip on the steer-lng-oar. My feet were stingingfrom the bite of the frost, and Ihoped fervently that the sunwould shine.

liefon- me, in the bottom of theboat, lay Maud. She, at least,was warm, for under her andover her were thick blankets.The top one I had drawn overher face to shelter It from thenight, so I could Bee nothing butthe vngue shape of her, and herllght-browu hair, escaped fromthe covering and Jeweled withmoisture from the air.

Hut when I got htm Into bisbunk he again burled his facein ins hands, covering his eyes,and us I turned to go I could hearhim murmuring, "I am a sickma ii. a very sick man."

Maud looked at me Inquiring-ly as 1 emerged. 1 shook myhead, saying:

"Something has happened tohim. What. 1 don't know. He ishelpless, and frightened, I im-agine, for the first time in hislife, it must have occurred be-fore he received the knife-thrust,which made only a superficialwound. You must have seen\\ hut happened." *She shook her head. "I sawnothing. It is just aa mysteri-ous to me. lie suddenly releasedme and staggered away. Butwhat shall we do? What Bball 1do?"

Long 1 looked at her, dwellingupon that one visible bit of heras only a man would who deemedIt the nniHl prccloul thing in theworld. Ho insistent was my gazethat at lust she stirred under theblankets, tlie top fold was thrownbuck inn' she smiled out on me,her eyes yet heavy with sleep

"Oood morning, Mr. Van Wey-den," she said. "Have you sight-ed laud yet?"

"If you will wait, please, untilI come back." I answered.

1 went on deck. Louts was atthe wheel.

"You may go for'ard and turnin," 1 said, taking It from hiui.

lie was quick to obey, and Ifound myself alone on the deckof the Ghost. As quietly as waspossible, 1 clewed up the topsails,lowered the flying Jib and stay-sail, backed the jib over, andflattened the mainsail. Then lwent below to Maud. I placed myfinger on my lips for silence, andentered Wolf Larsen a room. Hewas ln the same posit ion ln whichI had left him, and his head wasrocking -almost writhing- -fromaide to side.

"Anything I can do for you?"I asked.

He made no reply at first, buton my 'repeating the question heanswered, "No, no: I'm all right.Leave me alone till morning."

But as I turned to go I notedthat bis head had resumed Itsrocking motion. Maud waa wait-ing patiently for me, and I tooknotice, with a thrill of joy, ofthe queenly poise of her head andher glorious, calm eyes. Calmand sure they were as her spiritItself.

"No," 1 answered, "but we nrcapproaching it at a rate of sixinilcs an hour."

She made a move of disappointnien I.

"Hut that is equivalent to onehundred and forty-four miles Intwenty-four hours," 1 added re-asHtirtngly.

Her fuce brightened. "And howfar have we to go?"

"Slberoiii lies off there." I said,pointing to tlie west. "But to thesouthwest, some six hundredmiles, is Japan. If tills windshould hold, we'll mak)e It lnfive days."

"And If It storms? The boatcould not live?"

She had a way of looking oneIn the eyes and demanding thetruth, and thus she looked at meaa she asked the question.

"lt would have to storm very

Will you trust yourself to mefor a Journey of six hundred milesor so?" I asked.

"You mean—?" she asked, and1 knew she-had guessed aright.

"Yes, I mean just that," I ree-plied. "There Is nothing left forus but the open boat."

"For me, you mean," she sajld."You are certainly aa safe here asyou have been." »

"No, there Is nothing left forus but the open boat," I Iteratedstoutly. "Will you please dressas warmly as you can, at once,and make Into a bundle whateveryou wish to bring with you."

"And make all haste," I added,as she turned toward her state-room.

The lazarette was directly be-neath the cabin, and, opening thetrap-door in the floor and carry-ing a candle with me, 1 droppeddown and began overhauling theship's stores. I selected mainlyfrom the canned goods, and bythe time I was ready, willinghands were extended from aboveto receive what 1 passed up.

We worked in silence. I help-ed myself also to blankets, mit-tens, oilskins, caps, and suchthings, from the slop-chest. Itwaa no light adventure, thistrusting oursel/ea In a amall boatto so raw and stormy a sea, andIt was Imperative that we shouldguard ourselves against the coldand wet.

We worked feverishly at carry-ing our plunder on deck and de-positing It amidships, bo fever-ishly that Maud, whose strengthwas hardly a positive quantity,had to give over, exhausted, andalt on the steps at the break ofthe poop. This did not serve torecover her, and she lay on herback, on the hard deck, armsstretched out and whole body re-laxed. It was a trick I remem-bered of my sister, and 1 knewshe would soon be herself again.I knew, alao, that weapons wouldnot come in amiss, and I re-en-tered Wolf Larsen's state-room toget his rifle and shotgun. Ispoke to him, but he made no an-swer, though hia head waa stillrocking from side to side and bewaa not asleep.

"Good-bye, Lucifer," I whis-pered to myself as I softly closedthe door.

Next to obtain was a stock ofammunition, —an easy matter,though I had to enter the steer-age companionway to do It. Heretha hunters stored the ammunl-

"Why, you are chilledthrough!" she cried. "Look!You are shivering. Don't denyIt; you are. And here I havebeen lying warm as toast."

"I don't see that It would helpmatters, if you, too, sat up andwere chilled," 1 laughed.

"It will, though, when 1 leantto steer, which 1 Certainly shall.

She sat up and began makingher simple toilet. She shookdown her hair, and It fell abouther In a brown cloud, hiding herface and shoulders. Dear, dampbrown hair! 1 wanted to kiss It,to ripple It through my fingers,to bury my face lv It. I gazedentranced, till the boat ran intotlie wind und the flapping sailwarned me 1 was not attendingto my duties. Idealist and ro-manticist that I was aud alwayshad been In spite of my analyti-cal nature, yet I had failed tillnow ln grasping much of the phy-sical characteristics of love. Thelove of man and woman, I had al-ways held, was a sublimatedsomething related to spirit, aspiritual bond that linked anddrew their souls together. Thebonds of the flesh bad little part'in my cosmos of love. But I waslearning the sweet leison for my-1self that the soul transmuted it-self, expressed Itself, throughthe flesh; that the sight andsense and touch of the lovedone's hair was as much breathand voice and essence of thespirit as the light that shonefrom the eyes and the thoughtsthat fell from the lips. After all,pure spirit was unknowable, athing to be sensed and divinedonly; nor could it express itselfln terms of itself. Jehovah wasanthropomorphic because hecould address himself to the Jewsonly in terms of their understand-ing; so he was conceived as intheir own Image, as a cloud, apillar of fire, a tangible, physicalsomething which the mind of theIsraelites could grasp.

And so I gazed upon Maud'slight-brown hair, and loved It,and learned more of love thanull the poets and singers hadtaught me with all their songsand sonnets. She flung It backwith a sudden adroit movement,and her face emerged, smiling.

LOS ANGELES, March V .—.Fight fire with fire is the battlecry ot the 3000 citizens of Wattswho will end a long fight withrailroad companies for cheaperfare April 5 by voting on a munic-ipal lltney bus line.

Foi- years citizens of Wattshave been compelled to pay 1 >cents one way fare to their town,although It Is scarcely three milesbeyond the 5-cent limits of I.oaAngeles.

Trustee Jack Lange offered thaJitney bus as a solution.

In one year's time, we willsave the people of Watts $12,000it. car faes, as the Pacific Elec-tric railroad now realises morethan $.10,000 a year from thoWatts line. Watts will thus saroin fares the Initial cost of the in-vestment," says Lange.
