Continued from Editorial Pajre.
On a morning when" land find long
lu lu proniis\tl and was eagerly looked
for the young Frenchman, M. Armand,
mounted to the deck. Ills face was
weather burned, and the salt breath of
the spume fell damp on his hair. Tho
Virginian came and stood beside him,
and both looked down upon the wretch
ed legion of redemptloners crowding
the lower deck, gazing dumbly up like
cattle.
"A brave sight," submitted Cary, "to
show the rieben of the colonies."*
Ills tone was not without bitterness,
n&.thc Frenchman perceived. "You
would not have It sot"
"1 V No. We hove no need of some of
the offseourlng you see there. It will
breed us the curse of crime. But what
care the factors? 'Tis profit to them.
And what cures the king? It means
more tobacco, and tobacco stuffs his
coffers."
"Yet stone of these may bo lifted by
opportunity."
"Aye," answered Cary. "Had ns they
are. Wooden hoys, fair sick for the
lash, lumps from Fork or lack Latin
sots shipped for schoolmasters. Their
sons may be good citizens. New lands,
new conditions. If this land be not
Saddled with another's Ills, h?re these
shall at least have hope. Ry their faces
they leave not much to love behind
them."
Before either spoke again a cry came
up from where a knot of sloven re
flemptloners were gathered?n cry ami
a hoarse word In one. Down Irclow, at
one side, a woman leaned, hugging n
shawl wrapped bundle to her breast.
She was a drab, but with a certain
sullen beauty that Is bred of Lntln
blood. Armand had seen her face more
than once trans?gured by that won
drous glory of mother love. He had
that very day heard her crooning softly
ns she walked, noted the strange fur
tlvenoss with which she avoided the
too curious gaze of her fellows, won
dered what subtle grace nature had
lent for mother eyes to those Infant
features.
Now one of the crew stood over her,
plucking at the shawl. She was weep
ing passionately, loudly, without pre
tense of concealment.
"What a devil's that?" bawled the
mate's voice from a rope ladder.
"Tho brat's dead," said the sailor.
"Blow mo tight, I've been watching
her for two days. The lallop's been
singing to It to pull the wool over our
eyes."
"Dead, Is It? Pitch It overboard,
then." He kicked down a greasy rag
of canvas.
As the man he communded approach
ed the woman she fell on her knees,
shrinking In close against theOl'lw/sxVu? {
and speaking rapidly In %?ic foreign
tongue.
"V.'.iats that loblolly?" asked the
mate.
"She says." translated one of the piti
ful group mound her, "that the land is
so near and the water is cold. She
wants to bury It In the ground."
"Split me," outhed the mate, "Is that
oil? Over with It, Jerry!"
Again she spoke, volubly nud with
many groveling sobs.
"She says," said the redemptloncr,
"that If it could only be blessed. There
is no priest aboard."
The mate, with his hands on the rail,
laughed at this. "Do what 1 say, you
down there!" he cried. "Will ye stand
making mouths all day? Tie It In that
canvas."
The man lie had bidden approached
the woman to take the cold little body
from her, but she turned suddenly a
fury and, holding it to her breast with
one arm, fought him off, screaming.
He jumped back, with his hand clap
ped to his armpit. "The Jezebel's bit
me!" he yelled.
There was a groat laugh from tho
sailors, and the mate cursed luridly
from above. "Are ye mollycoddles,
?hen?" he shouted. As they hesitated
he scrambled down hand over hand,
damning them for landlubbers and
clearly minded to do It himself.
The Frenchman's fingers, as he stood
lteside the Virginian, gripped the rail.
'?Swine!" he said under his breath.
Then he leaned over and called clearly,
"Keep your hand from that woman!"
Tho mate looked up, ustonlshed, at
the group, for the other passengers bad
gathered to witness what was going
on.
"What's that?" he asked.
Armand repeated his words.
The mate's face turned a spongy pur
ple, and he laughed In n way that was
not good to hear. For answer he reach
ed out a hand to the shawl and literally
ton? it away from the poor clay It cov
ered.
At the Instant he did so Armand
vaulted tlx* rail where he stood, caught
a rope, swung to a strnchlon and land
ed as lightly as a cat at the side of the
burly ruffian. The act was so clean, so
graceful and so ciulck that none of tho
passengers could have told exactly how
it was done.
The mate turned and, seeing him at
his elbow, struck with all his strength
at the other's head.
The stroke was one to stun, but it
never reached home. The young for
eigner bent one side, not moving bis
feet, with a motion that would have
Spoken volumes to an athlete, and the
mate's list hanged against the bul
wark. While he staggered from this,
Armand, seizing a rope's end as he
circled, cut him across the face with
such n slash that the blood ran from
tho gash.
Now ensued n strange combat. The
mate, heavy and cumbrous, tried to
reach tho other with sledge hammer
blows. The Frenchman, slight, wary,
circling, retreating, slipped hither and
thither. Three times In as many sec
onds that sibilant "swish" sang, and a
red mark sprang out on the brutal face.
At each swing of the list a sort of
groan went up from the huddled re
demptloncrs, and at each cut they
sucked in their breath with delight. It
was a new, strange cntcr\jtilnmcnt for
them - to have a brain sick passenger
descend from his clean deck to cham
pion the cause of a scum.
The Virginian, looking down, was
Quivering visibly, As the passenger
evaded a blow that would have crush
ed his ribs he could not forbear a shout:
"Well done, by the Ixml! Hut 'ware
the clinch! 'Ware the clinch, mon
sieur!"
For the mate, though moddened out
of himself, had shown n sudden gleam
Lot purpose, lio was forcing the sec
rotary "hark Ii: o a corner f?lween bul
\Vnrk ami stanchion, not striking, but
hin burly m il! i n.>\v stretched out wide
ly. Kvoii as t'ary shouted the arms
{(ripped Armand like a vise, uud the
stinging rope'ii end, useless now, fell to
the deck.
Over the Upper rail the passengers
leaned, watching.
"A Hhame!" cried one. "That bloody
brute will kill him out of hand!"
"'Tis the elerk! Pshaw!" said the
quartermaster. "lie sides with the
rabble. Let the rabble care for him!'*
The woman who had boon the unwit
ting cause of this struggle crouched
back of the llrst sullenly Intent rows,
waiting, hugglug hyr bundle. The oth
ers wateheil, guessing well what the
Issue would be, most of them accepting
It as they had accepted the unspeak
able fare, the cursings and revlllngs of
the crew, with that stolid acceptance
Which, multiplied by centuries of hered
ity, had brought them ut last to this
same condition.
The Virginian leaned down with vl
braut hopelessness, lie looked to see
the secretary, vised and crackled In
those arms, drop limp and senseless.
As he looked be saw Armand's face,
very white, turn up to hill).
Then, like lightning, a wonderful
thing happened. The young man's chin
sank deep into the hollow of the other's
shoulder; his arms went up about tbo
muscles of the bulky back; lithe legs
like wire went suddenly curling and
twisting about Wife stocky ones. A mo
ment of strained Hllence and a glaze of
shocked surprise on the mate's slashed
face, then?
Crack! The coll untwisted; the mate
relaxed, tottered and fell to the deek.
There was at this time In France a
curious science known ns "La Snvate."
A rjlazi: of vhocK&f surprise on tlic ?natc'?
el<t?'i?/ face.
The Japanese have It under another
name. It was first taught in the thiev
ing dens of Paris and was to some ex
tent popular I &cd by a clever rogue who
earned freedom from the Bastille by
teaching It to young officers of title. It
was an art of leg fem e, and by precise
ly the same twist and wring which a
practiced swordsman uses to disarm an
adversary, the blade In this case being
bone and ?esh, Armand had sent the
mate's knee leaping from Its socket.
To the majority of those who saw it
this was perfectly Incomprehensible. A
gasp of wonder ran among the redemp
ttoneru, and they laughed loudly at the
mate's groan. The secretary had lost
nene of his alertness, though he was
breathing hard. He sprang at the
Stanchion, clearly intending to return
to the tipper deck by the way he had
oome.
But he was too late. The mate's sail
ers rushed upon him.
Caxy, shaking with excitement, sent
out a cry.
"By Harry!" he shouted to the pas
sengers about him. "Shall we see him
that fought so beat like a dog? Are we
poltroons, all?"
He leaped the rail, but before he
could reach the lower level aid come
to Armand, so Isird beset. The skipper
dtved into the circle on a run, an evil
light In his eyes and a marline spike In
his hand. He knocked the foremost
senseless, and the rest scattered.
"Curse ye!" he l>ellowed. "Set on a
passenger, ye dogllsh! By the devil,
I'll mlZKcn ye naked! Get to work and
take this away!" he commanded, Jerk*
ing a thumb at the mate who sat up,
nursing his knee.
The woman, still holding the bundle,
had pressed to the secretary's side and
was pouring out a torrent of grateful
lncoherencles. Master Hives began
cursing her with vigor, but Armand
touched his arm.
"The babe is dead," he said. "Your
mate would have cast it overboard. I
ask for the mother a twelve hours'
time. If wo do not slflfht land by then
I will ask no more."
But land was not to be seen that day.
Next morning came?the secretary's
flgbi bad been la vain. Then there was
another gathering to the forward rail
of the upper deek.
This was to watch the young French
man sitting among the redemptloners,
sewing a round shot carefully into the
foot of a white silk bundle the size of
a babe. The mother, now with empty
arms, trailed her long hair and wit, red
eyed, sodden with weeping, beside him.
This done, he stitched over the silk
neckerchief a clean canvas and last of
all sawed to Its top a tiny gold cross
which he took from his pocket. The
bundle, held now by willing hands, was
laid on a little board whose end pro
jected over the rail, and then Armand,
with bared head, took his stand beside
It, and they heard his voice repeating
part of the Huguenot service for the
dead.
Few understood the words, for they
were French, but all grasped their
meaning. The fresh cheeks of the girls
were wet with tea ' .e tollers' seam
ed faces were pltlfu. "ven the crime
smirched ones were ;jfter. And the
mother was satisfied. Had not her
Child been b!SS86d 7 Tu her none but a
priest could perform such a rite, and
Armand, though wearing no cassock,
was yet In some mysterious way u
priest.
So are we all His ministers!

The same amount of soft coal that
will hold a steady, even heat in an ordi
nary stove for two or three hours, will
do better work in
BUCK'S HOT BLAST HEATERS
for an all day or an all night run. This
is due to the fact that the fuel is coked
before it is consumed and the gas does
not escape but helps furnish the heat?
THE NEW PRINCIPLE.
Instead of having a tube run down from the top of fhe stove to"fur
nish the air supply, these new Heaters take in the air supply from a
point about the center of the fire pot. An air ring is formed, encircling
the pot and the air is then admitted to the top of the fire by means of
upright slots, and the gas generated by the fire below is ignited and per
