"Man overboard!"
A sudden splash, followed by another,
and hurrying; footsteps sounded today on
the deck of a houseboat anchored In
th mouth of Toras niver, where It
empties Into Bnrnegat Bay. A few sharp
orders were mapped out by a bearded
man. rlad In white uniform, on the Upper
deck, and not two minutes after the first
plash a dory shot out from the side
at tho houseboat. Two pairs of bronted
arms pulled a dripping; boy from tho
water, where he had been clinging to a
life preserver hurled overboard at the
first alarm.
It waa the dally practice In llfesavlng
of Nautlcut Troop 116. of the Philadel
phia Boy Scouts, which Is on tho annual
cruise In Barnegat Bay, off Island
Heights, N J. This and many other
duties nil up each day so completely that
when night comes the tanned and tired
seascouts arc Rlad to turn Into their
bunks to be lulled to sleep by the waves
splashing against the sides of the vessel.
Tied aft Is a string; of three dories and
tOO yards away shine the lights of tho
Arawan XI, riding at anchor. She Is the
yacht of Captain Charles Longstrelh,
Deputy Scout Commissioner and Admiral
of the Boy Scout fleet. Under whose care
the seascouts learn to be sailors on the
houseboat Young America. His assistants
are Scoutmaster John L. Taylor and As
sistant Scoutmaster Howard M. Jenkins.
MACHINE-LIKE DIIILL.
Every phase of the nautical training
Which the blue-clad seascouts receive la
executed with machine-like precision.
When Fred Pitts "fell overboard," Frank
Holman, bo's'n on duty, threw a llfo'pre
server overboard quick as a flash and the
dory crow, with Charles Moore, coxswain;
Howard DuBols. stroke, and Robert Har
ris, bow, were away In a twinkling for the
rescue; the llfesavlng drill was completed
when Louis Moss applied a method of re
suscitation on the quarterdeck. And each
of those who 'atood by" played a part.
Just as they did In Tuesday night's storm,
when. In oilskins and sou'wosters, they
made the boat shipshape.
From early morning till night falls the
seascouts are Kept busy, learning and
playing. After the morning dip at 6
o'clock, decks must be swabbed and the
boats cleaned. Breakfast Is followed by
colors and Inspection, which usher In tho
morning Instruction, In seamanship and
rowing drill and practice. Tho afternoon
Is spent In sailing, boat drills, races,
swimming and shore leave.
Special programs break the routine
from day to day. One day was spent at
the coast guard station, where life
guards, acting under Instructions from
the Treasury Department, gave demon
strations In launching boats and ex
plained the breeches buoy, signal guns,
rockets and flares, rope-throwing gun
and. long-distance and night signaling.
The requirements for the seamanship
merit badge, which every member of the
crew Is striving to win. Include knot
ting, splicing, reeving off and use of
tackle, palm-and-needle sewing, swimming-
60 ynrds fully clothed, handling
rowboat and acting as coxswain, han
dling sailboat, knowledge of anchors and
ruunu tncKie, compass, lend line and
patent log, charts and pilotage, rules of
the road and signals.
Besides the scouts who took part In tho
rescue, the members of Troop 118 are
Edmund S. Wood. Robert Motherwell,
Robert Nesbltt, Gordon Crouter, John
. xianBen, .uxion uucKes. Russell Do Long,
Gowan Hood and Edward Wheeler.
Troop 117 will begin the second cruise
Saturday.
"No matter in what walk of life, a
boy will become a better man for nauti
cal training," said Captain Longatreth.
"If he's a clerk he'll tie up a package
better. He Is taught the value of space
and the conservation of food and water.
Everj' drop of water used on the boat Is
rowed by the scouts from shorn nnrt
therefore, there Is no waste. The nautical
scout learns to look for and Interpret
veather conditions He learns cleanliness
nd orderliness. One of the best trainings
for any walk" of life Is the training a
seaman gets, because It Is so practical."
Yachts Mistaken for German Ships
NEW YORK. July 15.-Vhen America's
Cup defense yachts Resolute and Vanltle
were rounding a mark out near the
Cholera Banks Just before 5 o'clock yes
terday afternoon, one of the British
armored cruUers, with three funnels of
the type of the Suffolk and Essex, dashed
Up. It was apparent that she had
sighted the steam yachts accompanying
the racers and belching; out soft rani in,.
transatlantic liners. Those aboard them
figured the Britisher might have sus
pected that the Vaterland and the other
German boats In Hoboken were attempt

The latest acquisition to the list of
Broadway producers to present motion

spurred on by the success of their pre

now arranged to produce nnd release one

Is to present only nil-star casts In plays
of unusual value, and ninny of their for

placed upon the screen for the first time.

ATLANTIC CITY, July lS.-In olden
times the vast crowds which came down
on one-day excursions were dubbed the
"shoe-box brigade," because the majority
of the people on those trips carried suffi
cient provisions for the whole day snugly
wrapped In pasteboard shoe boxes. Within
the last two years, Blnce business men's
associations and large factories have been
arranging one-day excursions, all thls'lias
changed.
The arrival of several large delegations
from Philadelphia today, under the au
spices of business men, gave a vivid Idea
ot the new policy In vogue on these one
day excursions. Instead f the patrons
coming down on a slow excursion sched
ule, they arrived In long trains of Btecl
coaches run on express time.
Excuses for u earing white fox fur neck
pieces In summer are heard on the Board
walk. Women nre declaring tlint they
wear them only to protect the furs.
They state that when furs are placed In
camphor for the summer, away from tho
light and air, the fur loses Its lustre nnd
that, eventually, tho hair will break away
from tho Hide. They declare the breezes
which blow at night, with tho tang of
the ocean, is medicine for the furs and
renews their beauty.
Mr. and Mrs, George Metzel are located
In apartments on Virginia avenue until

Hoskins' Girl
Lon" Hoskins had landed nt Ocalawa
Beach before Its discovery and develop
ment. He had set up his tent on the
pleasant point of land between the boat
doek and the pier, and thenceforth It
was known as Hoskins' Point
Also, had he set up a peanut stand nnd
a roaster that hissed merrily In the ears
of the dock hustlers and peacn snipped.
Hoskins' girl sold the peanuts, Jo was
IS then; slender and tanned as a. boy,
with a steady apprnlslng glance, and a
smlla llko the first rift of sunlight after
a midsummer thunder-storm.
One day Senator Farlow's steam launch
anchored nt the dock. It was filled wltn
pretty, stylishly gowned girls, and col
Icgo pals of young Courtney Farlow. And
they bought peanuts of Jo Jo, with her
leng-tashed hazel eyes, signals of danger
even then! her short curly hair, crisp
nnd golden.

CHAPTER XXVIII-(Continued)).
AUD went to tho window and looked
out Into Achilles-crescent. If only
Jlartln were here! But he did not wilte,
except to Monty Derevo. It might con
ceivably be ns Huron alleged, that he
was now entirely absorbed In the work
of his own vindication, nnd had ceased
to care at all about her since she had
thrown him over. She weighed Huron's
words In her mind and frowned. Her
mother had confessed to having been re
sponsible for her father's death, but had
said nothing about any treasonable In
tercourse with an enemy. And whereas
the woman's confession seemed credible
the charge against Admiral Plegsey did
not.
She Bpoko without turning her head.
"This story of the plans Is entirely new
to me. My mother, when she confessed
to having encompassed my father's
death, offered no such excuse. It sounds
to me like some hideous slander. I do not
believe It."
"You do not believe It." reDeated Huron
dully. "Yet there are the plans In De
reve's office,"
"What then 7 They were no doubt
stolen you have used that word yourself
and by my father's murderer. Perhaps
you Btole them."
"I see. That Is the way you look nt It.
Why, then, do you think your mother ac
cuses herself of the crime? But I did not
steal them, I have Just parted from the
man who had them from your father,
and. If he is arrested, he will tell the
whole story,"
Maud made an Indignant gesture. "Do
you suppose the court any court would
credit such an imputation against my
father?"
"Tho man can prove It. He can also
prove what you have heard already that
your mother Is guilty of her husband's
death."
"Show me the man," demanded the girl,
still incredulous.
Huron forced a laugh. "Do you suppose
he will nllow himself to be Introduced to
Admiral Plessey's daughter? Stilt" he
reflected for a moment "you might as
wall know who he la. He is Sydney
Dereve, the brother of Arrol's partner,"
iiontys lamerj" juaud Btarted In sur
prise. "Yes an aljject craven, a fool, and a
liar. , If you meet him, I warn you not to
credit his stories. He Is wild with terror
because Arrol Is on his track, and Is ready
to throw himself at the foot of the first
policeman who lays a hand on his shoul
der and blurt out the whole story. With
those plans in our possession we oan keep
mm nuiei."
"Why?"
"Because they constitute the most Im
portant link in the chain of evidence
against htm and your father. If we hold
those plans we hold the master key of
the situation. That is why I want you
to get them."
Maud considered. She had never been
able to make up her mind about Qllbert
Huron. Her mother had represented him
to her that night at Edgworth-square as
presenting a pistol at her head, threaten
ing to discharge It unless she married
him; the next day he had managed to
represent himself as simply a man crazed
with love for her, who had talked rather
wildly about neglecting no means, fair or
foul, to make her bis own. Now he stood
before her. using no threats, asking no
reward, desperately concerned for the
honor of bar family, and Imploring her to
take steps to preserve it.
"What da you want me to dot" she
asked sulkily sulkily poaua of tbes
misgivings, because she was angry with
herself and the man and tbs world In
general.
His faee brightened. "I want you tsi
use your Influence with MwUy Dereve '
"I have ta influB with Monty. I
hav quarreled with bee, and sha tuned
me out of the house thla morning."
Huron eTlAlw,ttd with annoyance: "Do
you know Kiuuu pareve lilmaWfr"
"I mehlra while I waa acting as hta
ait' companion but she Is aura to have
prejudiced bim anainat me "
"WkM abul Mart id Arrol's prcxhar
MefeaHi? Do you kaw bin!"
"Y. 1 kw Wm, Jtow m fc UXa
VMl"
"I suppose he is acquainted with his
brother's partner. If you appealed to
him he might manage to persuade Eus
tace Dereve to yield up those plans be
fore Martin returns."
MnuU shrugged her shoulders. "I will
eee what I can do. I must think about
what you have told me first. I
suppose I ought to bo grateful to you,"
Huron's eyes gleamed for an instant.
"Oh, that Is not at all necessary," he said
aeprecntingiy. "i have loved you all .your
llfo and want to protect you now, I
leave It to your better Judgrpent to decide
whether your family's reputation Is Eafer
with me than with a man you have
known only three weeks altogether and
who Is directly Interested In destroying
it." He approached nearer to her anJ
held out his hand. She turned and caught
the wistful expression In his eyes. "Won't
you forgive ine and Bhako hands?" he
pleaded.
She emlled her kind, half-humorouB
bmlle. 'I suppose so," she said, and
placed her hand in his. "It all seems
very muddled. If I have done you nn
Injustice, I'm sorry."
He smiled, as if made happier by her
forgiveness, took up his hat and gloves
and went away.
Maud continued to stare out of the win
dow, wrapped In thought. She was niled
with loathing for her mother, though
here, again. If Huron's horrible version of
the story were true, the woman's deed
might have been Inspired by a generous
imiKnauon. oy me wish to preserve her
husband from something much worse
than death.
Then It occurred to her that there waa
no longer any reason for her lying there
In concealment now that Huron had
tracked her. Before taking any steps to
recover these plans she might force the
truth from her mother's lips. An Inter
view would cot be pleasant, but her
whole life, ns she put It to herself, was
full of disagreeables Just now. Anything
was better than the murky hare of sus
picion and falsehood In which she seemed
to have been living ever since she quitted
the deck of the Sldl.
She ran upstairs and put on her hot.
How different things would have been
If she had not met Martin. Ami nnw if
he had forgotten her all this stirring of
muddy waters would have been in vain.
No, not vain, so far as he was con
cerned. He would have cleared himself
of the suspicion which had so long un
justly attached to his name. But he
could only do that by proving her par
ents to have been criminals. Oh, It waa
tormenting! She shook her head as If
to free herself from the atronlzlnir nr.
plexltles,
CHAPTER XXIX.
A 8 MAUD rang the bell at her mother's
, house she felt that her return was
hopelessly undramatlc She had pictured
herself returning after long years, per
haps the wife of Martin Arrol. Instead
of which she walked quietly up the steps
after six weeks absence hardly long
enough to have excited the comment of
the servants and was admitted by the
butler with nothing more than a slightly
deeper reverence than was customary
with him.
"Shall X send to the station for your
luggage, rami- ne inquired, as she
mounted the stairs.
Maud hesitated. "I'm not-sure that
I'm staying," she said tentatively. "No,
I haven't brought my luggage with me.
It Is stiU In the country. Is your mis
tress lf '
"Tes, miss, I think she's dressing for
dinner."
Maud stepped lightly along; the corri
dor and without knocking walked Into
Mr. Plessey's bedroom. She somehow
thought to ewre an advantage by a
surprise. She found her mother alone,
lo a aharnjlM dresslBg-giowB, busily ap

think such language between us Is a trifle
artificial now." She Bank Into an arm
chair and looked curiously at Mrs. Ples
sey's slight, delicate form, from her baby
curls to her glided slippers. It Beemed
Incredible that those tiny little hands
should have struck down Admiral Ples
sey, that that Innocent-looking, childish
face should conceal a brain capable of de
vising murder and harboring appalling se
crets for 13 long years.
Mrs. Plessy shrugged her slight shoul
ders and raised her delicately pencilled
eyebrows. She took a hand mirror and
continued her work of self-embellishment.
"Surely you haven't come home ,to treat
me to a scene, my dear child?" she said
with an air- of pathetic resignation. "If
that la your Intention I may tell you at
once that my nerves won't stnnd it Vm,

forehead, but Maud, leaning forward,

running away. I've been half dead with
worry about you. A few more lines like
that and I shall look 40 at leaBt." She
shuddered. "So let me tell you. my dear
girl, that If you have come to bully me r
shall simply send for Fellse."
"I haven't come to bully you," Maud
assured her, Bomewhat crossly, "but I
have a good deal of Importance to com
municateand there must be n final ex
planation between us." she went on
doggedly. "It's no good your sending
for Fellse for as soon as you go to bed
I shall sit beside you and won't let you
sleep till I've got the whole .truth out of
"Oh, go on, go on I" Mrs. Plessey en
couraged her derisively. "I deserve it I
suppose. You won't mind my continuing
my toilette, w 11 you? I've two or three
things on tonight. If we are In for a
scene, please go to the door and tell
Fellse not to disturb us till I ring."
Maud obeyed her mother's Instructions
and on her return found her slipping Into

boy made a careless running leap, and
fell short Into the deep treacherous wa
ters of Black Lake.
Jo paw tho danger first. The great
fruit steamer was loading that day and
lay nt her moorings a few feet beyond
tho little gay launch. Courtney was
borne by the current to tho waters be
tween the steamer and the piling. Any
moment a chance swell might crush him
to death.
They tell the story yet at Ocatawa,
how Hoskins' girl kept her head, and
threw a life buoy to the lad, and pulled
him out of dnnger. And Just for a min
ute she held his head on her lap, Just for
a minute, as Courtney opened his eyes
and looked up at her.
"What's your name?" he asked
hoarsely, with a boy's awkward grati
tude. "Say, I'll nover forget this or
you." N
"They call me Just Hoskins' girl." she
told him.
The Senator offered her a reward tho
next day of J300, and Jo only flushed,
nnd went on roasting her peanuts.
"Better start a volunteer life-saving
station here, sir," she had replied mer
rily. "Wo'll need It soon. Ocatawa's
booming."
The Senntor believed her. Next year
he built the life-saving Btatlon, and the
new summer hotel. And Hoskins sold
more peanuts.
Courtney went back to college, but
often between his eyes ,and the real
world there would steal a vision, the
face of the girl as she had leaned over
the edge of the dock and thrown the
buoy to him, tho look In her hazel eyes

brief mlnuto on her lap, and smoothed

Five years later "Lon" Hoskins owned
the controlling Interest in the Ocatawa
Beach stock. There were Hoskins' pea
nut roasters all over the rnrf Th.
handsomest cottage along the shore was
Hoskins" home. And yet, there was an
Intangible, aggravating line that Hoskins
never crossed. Not that he cared for
himself. It was only for Jo he thought.
Sometimes he would look at her when she
came home for holidays, note her growing
beauty and thoroughbred ways and
whistle softly to himself, hoping fer
vently that the peanut trademark would
not handicap her for the race with other
women when Bhe took her plunge into
the big swim.
"Jo. Birl. do you ever wish your dad
waa somebody besides 'the peanut man?' "
he asked her one dav loculnriv m.
