Dick swung around befiore she fin
iabed. He kept six atejy K ahead of
his nearest ‘men In desi'erHllng the
stairs. There was a possible chance
of heading Brent off before lie reached
the cave to release -the prisoners, and
he made a hasty- flight in that direc
tion. 0
But there was no sign of the enemy
on the way, and when lie reached the
entrance to the cave he heard voices
below tli,at convinced him he was too
late. Brent and Alster were down
there with Blake and McfJee.
_ Stationing his men in strategic po
sition* Dick approached t,he entrance.
“Bmit, we know you’re armed," Jig
caHed, “hut neither Blake nor Mcflee
has a gun. I saw to that. There are
six of os up here, and every oneVpre-
pared (0 - shoot the first lieitd tlwft

isn’t mutiny. The crew is following
Ihe orders of their captain. Now, will
you come up pearably and surrender,
or is it fightr
The answer came rather unexpect
edly and violently. There was an
explosion below, and a bullet flattened
Itself on the rook i^ear Dick.''
’Thanks for the answer, Brent,”
was tlie retort. "We can now con
sider hostilities opened. I>ook out!”
HC fired at something that showed
Wfflle.in the dim light qf the cave.
There was a groan, and the object
disappeared from sight.
“Close In, men,” Dick said coolly,
.“hut don't expose .uiuiKeUea: Shoot
at anything you nee."
Intermittent volleys followed, and
bullets rallied down tl»e cave, with
an occasional shot from below. Rea
lizing the men below hud the ails an-
(age of light, Dick again cautioned
Ida men not to exiatse themselves.
But one advantage w*s in their fa
vor. They surrounded the mouth of
the cave on all sides, and while the
enemy was taking a shot at one of
their number Die guns of the others
(V>ul<l be trained on him.
The noise of the shooting soon
brought others from the yacht. With
their quarry imprisoned in the cave
tliere was no need <4 keeping autre
than u corporal's guard aboard the:
Pelican. Their shots soon begun to
tell, for the explosions from below be
came less and less frequent. A moan
occasionally reached their ears. At
least one of Ihe gang had been hit.
The problem of getting the men out
of the cave was a serious one. Wiiii
night coming on the dit1i< ulty of
watching and guarding the place
would increase. In the course of time
they would he starved «iU. but that
might require days and days.
"It's only a question of time before
we get them,’’ Dick said to Captain
Burnell when they withdrew to con
sider Ihe situation. “There s no fun
in starving them out. We ought to
find some quick plan for settling it.”
“I could go down there.’ volun

» “And get killed yourself,” smiled
Dick. “No, Barnett, I won’t permit
that.”
“You forget I'm captain and you're
mate," laughed the ether. "You take
orders front me, and not give them.”
“Well, If you want a small-sized
mutiny on your hands, captain, you
try to go down there.”
"Suppose 1 order you to go down?"
Dick shrugged his shoulders. “I'd
obey,” lie replied. •

THE STORY OF CREATION
among them was to be found for him
To make Adam cunscUm* «f M« con
dition C.od caused the animals to pass
before him, wfth the result thtfr nd"
helpmeet was found for him; man, be
ing ji personality, was differentiated
from the animal. !
V. The Origin of Woman (2^1-24).
To meet the need of man Cod made
the ‘Woman. They had minds alike,
therefore cou|d commune together
about"the things that surrounded them,
and about Ood. They bad spiritual
n hit urea, therefore could commune to
gether and with fled. Cod took a rib
from Adam’s side and out of It made
the woman. Man was made from the
dust of the ground and woman was
taken from hie side—thus woman was
one removed farther from the earth
than man. Someone has aaid that the
man was dust refined, hut the woman
was dust doubly refined. Matthew
Henry says. "Woman was made of the
rib out of the side of Adam, not out
of bis head to top him, nor out of his
feet to be trampled upon by him, but
out <jf his side, to be equal with him—
under his arm to he protected and
near his heart to be loved.”
VI. The’Origin of Marriage (2:24).
*<Jod made man—male and female.
It was His intention that men and
women should marry. Marriage is
the most sacred of human ties. It Is
of divine origin, for God Himself per
formed the marriage ceremony.
Man's Greatest Victory

Good Friday sacrifice la true, in lesser
degree, of all sacrifice. Yet men

but they shrink from it as always an
evil, and this is wholly unnatural If
human nature la what it ought to be
and is capable of becoming. Tha
greatest victory man can win is vic
tory over self

sota. "A friend told me about Sloan’e
Liniment, and after using it one day,
I was able to walk around the house.
After three days I was able to go to
work, and now I’m as well as ever.”
The reason that Sloan’s Liniment
gives such remarkable relief is that it
gets right at the cause of the pain. It
stimulates the circulation throughout
the place where the pain is, and clears
put the germs that are causing it.

pain stops, and soon you are fit ae

mental truth, though heyniiil the pow-
er of the human mind to graiqi. he
tielieved and all our problems of phi
.oaophy and theology will tie solved
I. The Origin of the Universe
(Gen. 1 :1).
It was created by God. All things
■•ante into being by tlie will and act
of a isTsonal God. Create means to
bring into existence that which had
no pre\ ions existence.
II. The Regeneration of the Earth
(1 :H-2fi).
Between verse* one and two is
clearly marked an interval of perhaps
wide duration. .Tlie eartli which was
created by God was subjected to a
Judgment. -The Hebrew word "was”
might . Just as well have been trans
lated "became." Instead, therefore,
of the earth having been created a
void or chaos, we see that It became
so through a cataclysmic judgment.
In Isaiah 4.1:18. the prophet declares
that God did -not create the earth a
waste, but that He formed it to be
inhabited. All that real geology lias
to say to us harmonizes with this
\lew. Tire so-called six days of Ore-
rttimi exhibit God's rehabilitutluu of
the eartli.
The cause for this judgment upon
the earth is to Ire found doubtless in
(he judgment upon Satan, who Is
called the prince of this world (John «
12:31).
Observe that God created tlie ape
cies and decreed that they propagate
after their kind. Such a tiling as one
species developing out of another |s
unknown to ihe Bible and real science.
III. The Origin of Man (1:26^8)
He was created hy God. He came
Into being through a special creative
act of God. Aa to-nature, he bore the
image and likeness of God. This
image arrd likeness is not physical or
bodily, hut infellecjira! and moral
(Kph. 4:24, Col. 8:10). God’s likeness
Is reflected It* manVHiree-fold nature.
Man,is spirit, soul and body (I Theaa.
,1:2K). God -made Tnsn vritb » person
ality capable of having fellowship with
Himself—with whom He could share
His giory.
IV. Adam Alena In Ed«n (2:7-9,
15-20).
He had a moet beautiful piece In
which to live. God gave him aurround-
Ings In keeping with his nature.
"Pleasant to the sight and good fc#
food” describes hla^muroandingH. He
was to "dress and keep” the garden
(v. 1.1), showing that work waa God's
primal thought for man. To thia
agrees the teaching of the New Testa-.
ment. If any man would not work,
neither should lie eat (U Thews. 8:10).

To Those Who Judge
Quality by Price
The quality of Ford cars cannot be judged by the prices at which
they are sold-*-because Ford prices are made possible by condi-
tionsthat are absolutely unique in the automotive Industry.
• - ■ •
. From mine to market the Ford car is the work of a single or
ganization. The Company owns and operates the mines and
forests that furnish the raw materials for its products. This
material is carried over Ford transportation routes, fabricated
in Ford-milla, manufactured in Ford plants—and the finished
product is sold to the public through Ford dealers.
The following statement, previously made in an advertising
message, is repeated because of its significance to the public:
<4
1/ any other manufdcljurer endeavored to produce a
car similar to the Ford, according to the high stgstd-
ards of quality in material and workmanship used by
the Ford Motor Company and with the same tried and
proved design, it would be impossible to offer it at any
thing like Ford prices. And it is well to note that even
with less costly design they have not met Ford prices.**
