AN himself stuck to the oars, pull- ing agalnst the mass of weed un- t1l the muscles of his shoulders bulged and almost broke through his back. “Spell you, Dan?" the boy said, half a dozen times, but the man shook his head. He wanted to reach the ship before nightfall. It meant water for them both—water and food—and rest. Now the vision of a hed came back to him: he was tempted to leap out of the dinghy in the effort to get to the wrecked vessel more quickly. To sleep in & bed—the thought had become an obsession with him, and he strained at the oars with added vigor. They wers making progress, though it was slow. The weeds made a scrap. ing sound on the keel of tha boat, and tha oars wera heavy as lead. Bub had reached out of the boat and plucked a bit of weed; he found it bore berrles, but breaking one of them open, hoping silently it would contain juice to quench his thirst, he learned it con- tatned nothing but afr. “Better let me spell vou, Dan.” But the man was stubborn. e was not thinking of sparing the boy, now: all he wanted was to get to that stout hull thut lay before him “We're agetting there, 2-getting there.” he punted. ‘“Then we'll have done with this infernal rowing. No more rowing, boy—no more rowing. How'd you iike & nice drink of cool water—eh?" Dan laughed; he was hysterical with the thouxht of rescue. And meanwhile, on board the old shipwreck, the man in the crow’s nest was signaling con- stantly Bub was looking over the gunwales, and suddenly he drew back in horror. “Did von see that, Dan?’ The man the oars shook his head, but he continued rowing. “It was a terrible looking thing.” Bub continued, “it lonked like some sort of fish, but it had arms, and they were waving around.” ‘There's plenty o' queer uns in these waters,” said Dan shortly. But he kept on rowing. They were almost in the shadow of the wrecked vessel now. Bub, who had stood up to see the better, report- ed momentarily to Dan, as he could make out signs of additional.life upon the vessel “How much farther?"” The sweat and he roke We'r you & b boy-—we're grunted Dan. 1s pouring down his face, was groaning with every £ the oars. dmost there—let me spell But Dan shook his head. 1l make it—T'Il make it.” he re- peated. ‘'Bed—cool, white sheets.

A line was thrown overboard from the deck of the vessel, and Bub caught it. “We're here, Dan, we're here!” he crfed. But Dan did not answer. He had fallen forward over the oars in a dead faint. Bub did not remember much about their arrival on the wrecked vessel. Somehow he had tied the line around Dan, and the fainted man was drawn | thrown | The line was tuh. tying a loop un der his arms. allowed himself te bhe drawn up. T had been a hazy crowd elustering around him; he was given a cupful of water. But when up on deck out again, and and he was led into a cabin, and the helped him remove his clothes. The next thing he knew he had just awakened in a cool, half dark cabin. Seeing his eves open, soma one moved up to him, and silently offered him a cup. It contained water, and Bub drank it eagerly. Then he was given another cup; it contained a liquid of some sort—something he had never tasted before. But it refreshad him, and soon he felt strong enough to sit up in his bunk. “Where—whera am I?" bewildered. The man who stood hefore him, a red-faced man, short of stature, with a pleasant expression on his face, did not answer the question, but asked one in turn. “Whence come you?" We were shipwrecked,” sald Bub, and told the story of their experfence, while the man listened wild-eyed with astonishment. “Our fathers told us of such,” he sald, “but it is little we know. And tell me of this other world you come from—but walt—you are not strong vet. You will rest awhile.” The langusge of the man was strange to the lad. lle spoke in an accent thut was more English than anything else, but it was different from anything Bub had ever heard before. And he spoke of “other worlds” and things of which his fa- ther had told him. What did he mean? Bub wanted to know more, but the man had tip-tved out of the cabin, and he was alone. Bub tried to rise from bed. but once on his feet he was so dizzy that he sank back in the bunk. His head was throbbing, and his eyes burned, while his arms ached steadily. The blisters on his hands were causing him trouble, too. Bub was slck—sick all over. He fell asleep again, and rested for several hours more. When he awak- ened again there were ceveral men in the cabin. One of them twas the man who had first fed him, and when he saw that Bub was awake, he | brought another cup of water. Then he gave him a plate of a queer-tasting fish soup, and this time the boy arose to find that the dizziness had partially worn off. “Tell me,” he said, for he was euri- ous to know of the strange crew that occupied this wrecked ship, “where do you come from—how long have vou been here?"” Iways,” answered the man, grave- he asked, “Alway: But. you Lere, were you?" The man nodded. “Aye. T and my brothers—we were born here. All of us—all save old Ildrik. Three score of us there are, and an infant, born today.’ Bub'’s eye roved over the little as- serubly—half & dozen men of various ages. “You were all born here?” he ques- tioned. “I don’t understand.” (To be Continued Next Sunday.) weren't born Nobody Nose. you sell this lim- Grocer—I ma’am. often wonder myself, Advertisement. . G~ T CROSY SECTION © OF PRONT ‘COTTER PN 2 FOR PROPELLER SHAFT TO OPERATE THROUGH Every airplane has these parts: Wing (or wings), elevator, rudder, fuselage (or body), propeller and mo- tor. There are many other parts, but these are the main ones. Arthur Smith in Fort Wayne, Ind., 16 years ago, made some flying air- planes from bamboo, tissue paper, glue, wire and rubber bands. Now he is one of Unele Sam's best alr mail pilots between Chicago and Clevelund. Your completed airplanes should welgh not more than 8 to 8 ounces. So make each part as lightly as yon can and yet have it strong enough to do its required work. Here are shown three motor base: each of which is very good for it purpose, and each causes the airplai to fly a little differently if the other parts are interchanged. The first one is simply a stick of any light, straight-grained wood about 15 inches long by one-fourth inch square at the front end by five-six- teenths inch square at the rear end. Another tyvpe has two pieces of wood one-eighth inch by three-eighths inch, one about 15 inches long, the other plece glued to the bottom of the first <0 the second piece is about 12 inches long.

This becomes ice and of course adds weight. Just as if you would be walk- ing to school and cakes of ice would freeze to you, would you go so fast or so cheerfully So it is with airplanes; they become welghted down because the ice freezes to practically every part, and a landing must be made sooner than expected. So, my boy and gir] flyers, the world wants you to invent something that will keep the ice from freezing to air plane surfaces, That is just one of many needed fuventions.
