They are mar ried by a native •priest. Sarichef appears. Dorothy renounces the marriage. Peter announces his identity. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY There was not one fraction of an instant’s doubt or question of the simple declaration. Before the un dulation of the deep tone was dead in the air, she knew, as well as she knew' the fact of her own life, that the man spoke true. For all his face and form were utterly differ ent, . his hands and voice and car riage wholly changed, this was Pet er Newhall, her husband, in tne flesh. There was no time to dwell upon the wonder of it. She saw a swift shadow at the edge of the fire’s glow-—something that moved like ti stalking wolf toward Peter—and she cried sharply in warning. At the same instant she sprang from her own place in an instinctive ef fort to protect her husband from that stealthy, murderous assault Her cry reached Peter not an in stant Because his nerves were AiiPid, 'and the ravages of his youlhful '"dissipations wholly re paired, he was able to act upon that warning in the twinkle of an eye. There was no time for thought; f.s if by instinct he leaped aside, his quick eye caught sight of the figure that was even now poised to strike, and his powerful muscles made swift and tremendous response. Pavlof, faithful to the last to his demigod, had drawn a knife tha; flashed : n a shining arc and started to save the situation in his own way; but Peter’s rifle swung in his arms and the heavy barrel struck the leaping figure with shattering force.

I SHE SAW A SWIFT SHADOW AT THE EDGE OF THE FIRE. for the time being impotent ano i unconscious. It seemed to Peter that the Rus sian’s hand moved toward his hip; and he wisely decided to take the offensive. The rifle leaped to nio shoulder, and the long, strong fing er curled about the trigger, read,' to exert the little, deadly ounce of pressure at the needed instant. W hatever murderous instincts had been wakened in Ivan were speedily repressed. Once before he nad seen that rifle at that same shoulder —the day his life had been menaced by “the “charging she-bear—and he remembered the sureness of aim, r fhe' iightnTiig swiftness of fire. That deadly combination could not fail at thi sclose range. “I don’t trust this bunch,’’ Peter said roughly. “Put up your hards. Ivan. I’m not going to take a chance.”, I Ivan obeyed promptly; Peter was. in a deadly mood. The Mongol was ] a brave man and a sportsman, yet he did not even his old, grim smile of bravado. “You seem to hold the cards,” he said simply. “I’m going to continue to hold them, too.” Peter gave a quick glance. in search of Sarichef, find ing him, appalled and terrified, in the shadows beside the dugout. The .latter <iad left .his rifle and sup plies in the dugout; and no shadow! of opportunity remained in which to* seize it and use it in his master’s behalf. He threw up his hands at Peter’s command. Next Peter located Fortune Joe, also obscured in the shadows, ahd called him to his side. “Search all these fellow's for weapons,” he or- WHAT CRITICS SAY OUR NAVY NEEDS fiZ - >■ ' * 'I ■ ' I I 1. » ! 1 I J ' - • ■ f iLj L - , ■ ■ j&i&g ■s. > <, ? ® '> .fr f I Better Destroyer* Although wc ou f s t r ; p Britain and Japan in n umber of these vessels, most of them, like the group of hasty wa r products and out of commission. i mW Admiral R.

STEWART NEA Service Writer WASHINGTON, June 28.—Japan started cruiser-building with a rush the minute the naval limitation agreement was signed. The treaty limited the number Qf the bigpower s’capitaPships,' but no. their cruisers. Japan, near het capi tal ship limit, proposes to supply herself with as many cruisers as pos sible. America doesn’t seem to* see tnis ( point. In cruisers she's ridiculously : weak. ( While the treaty didn’t limit the number of any country’s cruisers. ' it did limit their size, to 10,000 tons. It limited them also to 8-inch guns. Japan previously had 13 cruisers, of 65,450 total tonnage, with 5.5 and 6-inch guns. She was building 4 more, of 5570 tons each. In view of the treaty she laid down an ad ditional 4, each 75000 tons. Secrecy veils these 8 ships’ arnia ment, but it’s believed to consist of 5 and one half, 6 and 7-inch guns. Nor was this all. Work was begun o iistill another 4 vessels, of 10,000 tons each, with 8-inch guns. j So, before long, Japan will have a 1 •cruiser fleet 25 strong , tota'ing 157,730 tons. The treaty found America with 10 cruisers, built or building, of 750'. tons each, all with 6-inch guns. These vessels are up-to-date and quite all right, as far as they go, but as the figures show, for strength they don't equal Japan’s. In addition, the United States has 10 practically obsolete so-called dered simply, “and pile ’em up in front of me. Get Ivan’s pistol first.” Joe obeyed promptly, and at Peter’s command carried down the sacks of supplies that had been pre pared lor tomorrow’s journey and loaded them in the dory. The weap ons were similarly disposed of. Then, shielding Dorothy behind him, he backed down to the water’s edge. I He helped the girl into the bow . seat; then while he stood guard Joe I shoved off. As the boat was lifted m on the first, little wave he himself ■ sprang in. Joe grasped his oars. “Can we make it out?” I’eter ask ed quietly of his oarsmen. There w<ls a tremor in his voice now; but it was nothing to cost Joe his coi.fi , dence in him, or Dorothy her faith. The native knew him as a strong leader, a worthy representative of a great race. To Dorothy came the certain knowledge that as long as her hand lay in his, no rough seas need appall her, no moaning dark ness fill her with fear. With such companionship as they had, as ex isted everywhere between well-mat ed men and women of their race, what heathen hordes could conquer them, what lesser breeds despoil them of their dominance! Joe .dipped his oars. “It’s a /strong ,V llt fair,” he said It was a strqng, wind, but fair, , that blew them down the Peninsula.

Britain’s showing is 35 cruiser.? of 156,190 total tons, with 4 more building, representing 34,600 tons--- altogether 39 ships of 190,790 tons. A comparison—75,000 American cruiser tons to Britain’s 190,790 and Japan’s 157,730—isn’t as much in Britain’s favor as the figures sug gest, since “the British light cru isers,” according to a United States .official naval report, “were built mostly for North Sea work, and are inferior in type, with a lew excep |tions, to ours or the Japanese.” But as between America and Ja pan the figures are too weak, for America’s ships not only are out numbered but out-weighed, out-gun ned and out-manned. “The navy of the United States,” says the secretary of the navy’s last report, “is so ill-balanced and so deficient in cruiser strength that it would be at a serious disad vantage in major operations of any kind.

Denver and Salem are useful for peace work but would be practically without value in time of war. “The raiders that drive our com merce from the sea, that attack our transports and supply ships, can never be overtaken unless we builo cruisers to do the work.” America’s destroyer showing would be excellent if her vessels quality were in proportion to their number—274, as compared with Britain’s 196 in service and 5 build ing and with. Japan’s 63, not count ing what she is building now. “In destroyers,” says a United States navy report of March, 1924, “we have nearly 90 more than the British and more than 200 mores than Japan, but Japan is building 31 'new ones, while ours are mostly es hasty war construction and two thirds of them are out of commis sion. Our boats have less gun-pow er but more torpedo tubes than eith er the British or Japanese.” “Lack of destroyer leaders,” adds Admiral R. E. Coontz in his report on the Culebra maneuvers of 1924, "has been keenly felt.

Di?muke-, federal prohibition, director-,d wtid J. W. Powell/ federal prohibition 1 agent, was returned by a jury ih l Judge Samuel H. Sibley’s- federal district court Thursday. The plaintiff sued for $5,000 dam ages, charging that the defendants were responsible for issuance of a warrant by United States Commis sioner W. C. Carter, for the purpose of searching a storehouse at 425 Grant street, the property of the plaintiff. The warrant was issued, it was alleged, upon representation that whiskey was stored and sold at that number i nviolation of the na tional prohibition law. As a result of the alleged malicious invasion and search the feelings of the plain tiff were “cruelly wounded and mortified.”
