There Is a remedy for almost

Peruna to be that remedy as did
' Mias Clara Lohr of 21 N. Gold St,
Grand Rapids, Michigan. She writes
a friend: *T don’t need Peruna any
more. I am all well after taking
alz bottles. I weighed ninety
pounds before I started and was
poor and weakly. I had such
a cough and spitting all the time
that I never expected to recover.
My friends gave me up. I could eat
nothing. Now I can eat and weigh
135 pounds. I most thankfully rec
ommend Peruna to my friends."
Miss Loin's letter is an Inspira
tion, a message of hope to suffering
women. It tells you that you too
may be strong and well and vigor
ous.
Peruna may be had in either
liquid or tablet form. Ask your
dealer. If you value health, do not

CHAPTER XXIII—Continued.

It was as though my bfain snapped
back Into ascendency. I was no long
er a raging fury, mad with the desire
to kill, but cool-headed, • planning es
cape. Before a hand could reach me
in restraint, I sprang backward and
ran. I stumbled up the stairs leading
to the companion. The vague glimmer
of daylight showing through the glass,
revealed the presence of Watkins. I
heard him dash the door wide open,
call to those on deck, and then saw
him wheel about to again confront the
devils plunging blindly forward toward
us through the dark cabin. We could
hold them for a time at least, yet I
had the sense to know that this check
would prove only temporary. They
out-numbered us tqp to one, and would
arm themselves from the rack. Yet
the greater danger lay In the possible
disloyalty of my own men. A dozen of
a stout fighter the lad was, wielding
his cutlass viciously, ( so that we held
them, with dead men littering every
step to the cabin deck.
But they were of a breed trained to
such fighting, and the lash of Manuel’s
tongue drove them into mad reckless
ness. And there seemed no end of
them, sweeping up out of those black
shadows, with bearded or lean brown
savage faces, charging over the dead
bodies, backing and gouging in vain
effort to break through. I struck until
my arms ached, until my head reeled,
scarcely conscious of physical action,
yet aware of Manuel's shouts.
“Now you hell-hounds—now! once
more, and you have them. Santa Ma
rla ! you’ve got to go through, bulllea
—there Is no other way to the deck.
Kush ’em! That’s the way! Here

"Never tntnd him: tk# fellow
no harm now. Move hack alowty
Sehmltt and I will he the last
out."
We closed the companion, door aa
a1!ep:ly ns possible and for the mo
ment there was no sound frpm within
to show that our cautious withdrawal
had been observed. I stored about, but
was able to perceive little beyond the
small group awaiting my orders. The
fog clung thick and henVy on all sides,
and it was impossible for the eye to
penetrate to either rail. Fortunately
there was no weight of sea running.
“There is nothing more to keep us
aboard lads. Stow yourselves away
and hang on; I'll wait here until you
are ail over.” v *
“They faded away into the mist, dirii
spectral figures, and I remained alone,
listening anxiously for some hostile
.sound from below. Satisfied that the
lads were safely over the rati and the
decks oienr, .1 turned toward the ship’s
side’ As I did so n yell reached my
’ears from the blackness below—the
hounds had found voice.

but the darkness was too dense tielow 1
to penult the eye perceiving what was I
taking place. The rattle of steel told |
me some among them had reached the |
arm rac|t. There followed the crash
of w-«M>d as though the butt of a gun
had splintered a door panel. Then a
voice pierced the babel. My mind
gripped the meaning of It all; they
had found a leader; they had released
Manuel Kstevan. Now the real fight
was on I I could hear the fellow’ ques
tion those about him, seeking to learn
the situation.
“Who have cutlasses? So ninny! a
dozen form with me. Now bullies,
they are on the stairs there, and that
is the only way to the deck. Now then
—to hell with ’em!”
We met them, point to point, our ad
vantage the narrow staircase and the
higher position; theirs the faint glim
mer of light at our back^. The first
rush was reckless and deadly, the in
furiated devils not yet realizing what
they faced, but counting on force of
numbers to crush our defense. Man

and sweeping his cutlass, gripped with
both hands, In desperate effort to
break through. DeLasser canght Its
point with his blade while my cleaver
missing him with Its sharp edge, nev

hurled him back into the anna of the

answered by a blaze of light, revealing
the silhouette of a man, engaged In
touching flame to a torch of hemp. It
flung forth a dull yellow flare, and re
vealed a scene of horror. Our assail
ants were massed halfwky back. Be
tween us, even ten feet from the
stairs, the deck was littered with
bodies, ghastly faces staring up, with
black stains of blood everywhere. It
was Manuel’s hand which had kindled
the light, and the first croak of his
voice told his purpose.
“Now you skulking cow’ards,” he
yelled pointing forward, “do yon see
what you are fighting? Tbbre are only
five men between you and the deck.
To hell with ’em! Come on! I’ll show’
you the way!”
He leaped forward; but It was his
last step. I sent the cleaver hurtling
through the air. I know not how It
struck him, but he went down, his
last word a shriek, his arms flung out
in vain effort to ward off the blow.
