Buy a Bale of Cotton
"Buy a luile of cotton, though you
Btav hme no use for it," is the a|>|e:il
beinj: sent across our country. It ha*
been heard in this city and our women
are interested in the purchase, for it
seems to any good housewife that to
possess a hale of cotton would be as
sensible as to have n generous quantity
of potatoes, or :i ton of coal, nn hand.
The story of the movement is. in
short. that our cotton crop is always
exported, woven and returned to us.
At least the most of it is. Why? Well,
just because I'nele !Satn has had - so
many thinjis to look after be has not
had time to increase his mills. This
year there is no "oreign demand for our
cotton. Orowers who usually sell their
product at ten cents a pouud cannot get
six cents for it now. So to help out our
Alabama. Texas and Georgia farmers
the 'buy-a-bale" movement was started.
If our state was in dire nped we
would expect help t'ronf our countrymen,
so let us meet the emergency witii gen
erous investments.
Much ot the success of this move
ment depends upon the housekeeper, ft r
it is the women who use the enormous
output of our mills.
As a usual thing, the yearly sales
(>•' white goods are held the seeoud
week in January. "Mid-winter white
sales" have become so well known that
most purchasers of lawns, muslius and
white goods for the person and the
home are made at rhis time. Why not,
just for once, give rhis friendly, needed,
"buv-a-bale" movement a great push bv
buying ur cotton supplies before the
holidays?

A Story of LQVO, Mystery and a Private Yacht

that is. I seem to reuicuiber a erowd
of people aud a noise. 1 o.ire say !

You know, you are rather an iinfor
getable type."
1 was nonplused as to how a butler
would reply to such a statement, and
took refuge in no reply at all. As il
happeued none was needed. The ship
gave a terrific roll at that moment, and
1 just saved the chartreuse as it was
leaving thv table. Mrs. Johns was
holding to a chair.
"Well caught." she smiled, and.
taking a fresh cigarette, she bent over
r> table lamp and lighted it herself. All
the time her eyes were on me. I fell
that she was studying me over her
rigarette. with something in view.
"Is it still raining?"
"Yes. Mrs. Johns."
"Will you get a wrap from Karen
and bring it to me on deck? I—l want
«ir tonight."
The forward companion way led
down into the main cabin. She moved
toward it. her pale green gown fading
into the shadow. At the foot of'the
steps she turned and looked back at
me. I had been stupid enough, but I
knew then that she had something to
say to me. something'that she would
not trust to the cabin walls. I got the
wrap.
She was sitting in a deck chair when
1 found her.
"Sit down, I.eslie." she said, pointing
to the chair beside her. And, as 1 hesi
tated: "Don't be silly, boy. Elstt I*e
aud her sister may be as blind ns they
like. You are uot a sailor, or a butler,
either. 1 don't care what you are: I'm
not going to ask any questions."
I sat on the edge of the chair, some
what uneasy, to I ell the truth. The
crew were about on a night lilse that,
and at any moment Elsa Lee might
avail herself of the dummy hand, as
she sometimes did. and run up for a
breath of air or u glimpse of the sea.
"Just now. Mrs. Johns." I said. "1

1 am seen here"—
"Oh. fudge:" she retorted impatient

I am frightened—you kuow what I
mean."
"Turner?"
"Yes."
"You mean—with the captain?"
"With any one who happens to be
near. He is dangerous. It is Vail
now. He thinks Mr. Vail is in love
with his wife. The fact is that Vail
—well, never mind about that. The
point is this: This afternoon he had
a dispute with Williams and knocked
him down. The other women don't
know it. Vail told uie. We have giv
en out that Williams is seasick. It
will be Vail next, and if he puts a
hand on him Vail will kill him; 1 know
him."
"We could stop this drinking.''
"And have bim shoot up the ship! I
have beeu thinking all evening, and
only one thing occurs to me. We are
five women and two men. and Vail re
fuses to be alarmed. I want you to
sleep in the after house. Isn't there a
storeroom where you could put a cot?"
"Yes," I agreed, "and I'll do it. of
course, if you are uneasy, but I really
think"—
"Never mind what you really think.
I haven't slept for three nights, and
I'm showing it." She made a motion
to rise, and I helped her up. She was
a tall woman, and before I knew it she
had put both her hands on my shoul
ders.
"You are a poor butler and an indif
ferent sailor. 1 believe." she said, "but
you are rather a dear. Thank you."
She left me. alternately uplifted and
sheepish. But that night I took a blan
ket and a pillow into the storeroom
and spread my six feet of length along
the greatest diameter of a * by 7 pan
try.
And that night also, between six and
seven bells, wtth the storm subsided
and only a moderate sea, Schwartr, the
second unite, went ovet hoard—wenl
without a rry. without a sound.
Sinzletou. relieving him at 4 o'clock,
found his cap lying near starboard,
just forward of the after house. The
helmsman and the two men in the
lookout reported uo sound of a strug
gle. The lookout hnd seeu the light of
his cigar on the forecastle head at six
bells (3 o'clocki. At seven bells he had
walked back to the helmsman aud com
mented cheerfully on the break in the
weather. That was the last seen of
him.
With the disappearance of Schwartz
the Ella was short handed. I believe
Captain Richardson made an attempt
to secure me to take the place of
Burns, now moved up into Schwartz's
position. But the attempt met with a
surly refusal from Turner
The crew was plainly nervous and
Irritable. Sailors are simple minded
men, as a rule. Their mental process
es are elemental. They begou to mut
ter that the devil ship of the Turner
line was at her tricks again.
That afternoon, going into the for»-
rastle for some of my clothing. I found
a curious group. Gathered about the
table were Tom. the mulatto cook; a
Swede named Olesou. Adams and
Burns of the crew. At the bead of the
table Charlie .Tones was rending the
service for the burial of the dead at
sea. The men were standing bare
headed. I took 'off my cap and stood
just inside the door until the simple
service was over. I was strongly
moved.
Schwartz disappeared in the early
morning of Aug. 9. And now I cotne
not without misgiving to the night .of
Aug. ll*. I am wondering if. after all,
I have made clear the picture that is
before my eyes—the lauguid cruise,
the slight relaxation of discipline due
to the leisure of a pleasure voyage, the
Ella again rolling gently, with hardly
a dash of spray to show that she was
moving; the sun beating down on her
white decks and white canvas, on the
three women in summer attire, on un
ending bridge, with its accompaniment
of tall glasses filled with ice: on Tur
ner's morose face and Vail s watchful
one: in the forecastle much j)i>ssip and
not a little fear and in the forward
house, where Captain Richardson and
Singleton had their quarters, veiled
hostility and sullen silence.
Aug. 11 was Tuesday, a hot Au
gust day. with only enough air going
to keep our sails tilled. At 5 o'clock
1 served afternoon tea. aud shortly
after I went to Williams' cabin in the
forward house to dress the wound in
his head, a long cut. which was now
healing. I passed the captain's cabin
and heard hiui quarreling with the first
mate, who was replying now and then,
sullenly. Only the tones of their voices
reached me.
Beyond that the day was much as
other days. Turner ate no dinner that
night. He was pale and twitching.
Even with my small experience I knew
he was on the verge of delirium tre
mens. He did not play cards and spent
much of the eveniug wandering rest
lessly about the deck. Mrs. Turner re
tired early. Mrs. .lohns played accom
paniments for Vail to sing to. in the
chart room, until something after 11.
when they. too. went to their rooms.
It being impracticable for me to go
to my quarters in the storeroom until
Ihe after house was settled. I weul up
on deck. Miss Lee had her arm
through Turner's and was talking to
him. He seemed to be listening to
her, but at Inst he stopped and freed
his arm, not ungently.
"That all sounds very well, Elsa." he
said, "but you don't know what you
are talking about."
"I know this."
"I'm not a fool—or blind."
He lurched down tlie companionway
aud into the cabin. I heard her draw
a long breath; then she turned and
saw me.
"Is that you. Leslie?"
"Yes. Miss Lee."
She came toward me. the train of her
soft white gown over her arm and the
light from a lantern setting some jew
els on her neck to glittering.
"Mrs. Johns has told me where you
are sleeping. You are very good to do
it. although I think she is rather ab
surd."
"I am glad to do anything I can. - '
"I am sure of that. You are certain
you are comfortable there?"
"Perfectly."
"Then—good night. And thank you."
Unexpectedly she put out her hand,
and I took it. It was the first time 1
had touched her. and it went to my
head. I bent over her slim cold fingers
and kissed them. She drew her breath
in sharply in surprise, but as I dropped
her hand our eyes met.
"You should not have done that."
she said coolly. "I ain sorry." *
CHAPTER IV.
A Terrible Night.
IHE left me utterly wretched.
What a boor she must have
|. fI thought uie. to misconstrue
her simple act of kindness. I
loathed myself with a hatred that sent
me groveling to my blanket in the
pantry, and that kept me. once there,
awake through all the early part of
the summer night.
I wakened with a sense of oppres
sion. of smothering heat. I had
struggled slowly back to consciousness,
to realize that the door of the pantry
was closed, and that I wag stewing in
the moist heat of the August night. I
got up. clad in my shirt and trousers,
and felt my way to the door.
The storeroom and pantry of the
after honse hHd beeu built in during
the rehabilitation of the boat, and
consisted of a short passageway, with
drawers for linens on either aide, and
beyond, lighted by a porthole, the small
■apply room ta which I had been sleep-
In*.
Along, this passageway, then. I grop
ed my way to the door at the end,
opening into the wain cabin near the
chart room door and across from Mrs.
Turner s room. This door T had been
in the habit of leaving open for two
purposes—ventilation, aud in case 1
might be. as Mrs. .lohns had feared,
required In the night.
The door was locked on the outside.
I was a moment or two 111 grasping
the fact. 1 shook it carefully to see if
it had merely caught, anil then, in
credulous, I put my weight to it. It
refused to yield The silence outside
was absolute.
1 felt my way back to the window.
It was open, but was barred with iron
and. even without that, too small for
my shoulders. I listened for the mate.
It was still dark and so not yet time
for the watch to change. Singleton
would be oil duty, and he rarely came
aft. There was no sound of footsteps.
I lit a match aud examined the look.
It was a simple one. and as my idea
now was to free m.v9elf without rais
ing an alarm. 1 decided to unscrew it
with my pocket knife. 1 was still eon
fused, but inclined to consider my ini
prisonmont a jest, perhaps on the part
of Charlie Jones, who tempered his re
liglous fervor with a fondness for
practical joking.
I accordingly knelt in front of the lock
and opened my knife. I was in dark
mess and working by touch. I had »x
--tracted one screw and with a growing
sense of satisfaction was putting it in
my pocket before loosening a second
when a hoard on which I knelt moved
under my knee, lifted as if the other
end. beyond the door, had been step
ped on. There was no sound, no creak.
Merely that ominous lifting under m.v
knee. There was some one Jus* beyond
the door.
A moment later the pressure was re
leased. it was then that a woman
screamed—a low. sobbing cry, broken
off almost before it began. T had pot
my knife.by that time, and in despera
tion I threw myself against the door.
It gave way. and I fell full length on
the main cabin floor. I was still in
darkness. The silence iu the cabin
was absolute. I could hear the steers
man beyond the chart room scratching
a match.
As I got up six bells struck. It was
3 o'clock.
Vail's room was next to the pantry
and forward. I felt my way to it and
rapped.
"Vail!" I called. "Vail."
His door was open an inch or so. I
went in and felt my way to his bunk.
I could hear him breathing, a sterto
rous respiration like that of sleep, and
yet unlike. The moment I touched
him the sound ceased and did not
commence again. 1 struck a match
and bent over him.
He had been almost cut to pieces
with an ax.
The match burned out. and 1 drop
ped it. 1 remember mechanically ex
tinguishing the glowing end with my
heel, und then straightening to such a
sense of horror as I have uever felt
before or since. ,
I had been sleeping with my revolver
beside me on the pantry floor. Some
how or other I got buck there an<\
found It. I made an attempt to tind
the switch for the cabin lights, and.
failing, revolver in hand. I ran into the
chart room and v»p the after companion
way. Charlie Jones was at the wheel,
and by the light of a lantern I saw
that he was bending to the right, peer
ing in at the chart room window. He
turned when he heard me.
"What's wrong?" he asked. "I heard
a yell a minute ago. Turner on the
rampage?" He saw my revolver then,
and. letting go the wheel, threw up
both bis bauds. "Turn that gun away,
you fooll"
I could hardly speak. I lowered the
revolver and gasped: "Call the cap
tain! Vail's been murdered!"
"Good God!" he said. "Who did it?"
He had taken the wheel again, and
was bringing the ship back to her
coarse. I was turning sick and dizzy,
and I clutched at the railing of the
companionway.
"I don't know. Where's the cap
tain?"
"The mate's around." He raised his
voice, "\fr. Singleton!" he called.
There was no time to lose, I felt. My
nausea had left me. 1 ran forward to
where I could dimly see Singleton look
ing iu my direction.
"Singleton! Quick!" I called. "Bring
your revolver."
He came slowly toward me. and in
a dozen words I told him what had
happened. I saw then that he had
been drinking. He reeled against, me
and seemed at a loss to know what
to do.
"Get your revolver." I said, "and
wake the captain."
He disappeared into the forward
house, to come back a moment later
with a revolver. I bad got a lantern
in the meantime and ran to the for
ward compnniouway which led into
the main cabin. Singleton followed
me.
Swinging the lantern ahead of me. I
led the way down the companionway.
Something lay huddled at the foot. I
had to step over it to get down. Sin
gleton stood above, on the steps. 1
stooped and held the lantern close, and
we both saw that it was the captain,
killed as Vail had been. He was fully
dressed exc«pt for his coat, and as he
lay on his b*rk his cap had been placed
over bis mutilated face.
1 thought I heard something moving
behind me in the cabin and wheeled
sharply, holding my revolver leveled.
The idea had come to me that the
crew had mutinied and that everyone
In the after house had been killed. The
idea made me frantic; I thought of the
women, of Elsa Lee, and I wag ready
to kill.
"Where is the light switch?" I de
manded of Singleton, who wag still on
the companion steps, gwa.ving.
"I don't know." he said, and col
lapsed, sitting huddled Just above the
captain's body, with his face in his
hands.
I saw I rffeed not look to him for
help, and I succeeded in turning on the
light In the twinging lump in the (en
ter of the cabin. There was no sign of
any struggle, and the cabin was empty.
1 went back to the oaptain'B body and
threw a rug over it. Then I reached
over and shook Singleton by the arm.
"Do something!" I raved. "Call the
crew. Get somebody here, you drunk
en fool!"
He rose aud daggered up the com
panlonway. and I ran to Miss
door. It wns closed and locked, as
were all the others except Vail's and
the one I had broken open. I reached
Mr. Turner's door last. It was locked
and 1 got no response to my kno<-k. I
remembered that his room and Vall's
connected through a bath. and. still
holding ray revolver leveled. 1 rnn into
Vail's room again, this time turning on
the light.
A ulght light was burning in the
bathroom and the door beyond was
unlocked. I flung it open and stepped
In. Turner was lying on his lied, fully
dressed, and at tirst I thought he. too.
had been murdered. But he was in a
drunkeu stupor. He sat up. dazed,
when I shook him by the arm.
"Mr. Turner!" I cried. "Try to rouse
yourself, man! The captain has been
murdered, and Mr. Vail!"
He made an effort to sit up. swayed
and fell back again. His face was
swollen and purplish, his eyes con
gested. He made an effort to speak,
but failed to be intelligible. I had no
time to waste. Somewhere on the Ella
the murderer was loose. He must be
found.
I flung out of Turner's cabin as the !
crew, gathered from the forecastle nntl i
from tbe decks, crowded down the for j
ward compahionway. I ran m.v eye I
'over them. Every man was there, i
Singleton below by the captain's body,
the crew, silent and horror struck,!
j grouped on the steps; Clarke. McNa-1
maia. Burns. Oleson and Adams. Be-1
hind the crew. Charlie Jones had left!
the wheel and stood peering down until I
sharply ordered back. Williams, will) j
a bandage on his head, and Tom. the!
mulatto cook, were in the group.
I stood, revolver in hand, staring at |
the men. Among them. I felt sure. |
was the murderer. But which one?
All were equally pale, equally terrified.
"Boys, I said. "Mr. Vail and your
captain have been murdered. The
murderer must be on the ship—one of
ourselves." There was a murmur at 1
that. "Mr. Singleton. I suggest that
these men stay together in a body and
that no one be allowed to go below un
til all have been searched and all ,
weapons taken from them."
Singleton had dropped into a chair
and sat' with his face buried in Ids !
hands, his back to the captain's h<Wy
He looked up without moving, and his
face was gray.
