the presence of a number of leading citl

asked to lie present, theieby giving lib
erally of their Mippoit In this good cause.

Despite the numerous classes In emei
tency aid and Red Cross work, which aio
occupying the time and eneigy of (lei
mantoun women, they .still find time to
devote a laige p.ut of their interest to
this May market, which fiom all ap
pearances will bo a big success.
AND what do ou think is the latest bit
.of remaikablu reasoning which was
evinced at one of our local movlo thcatics
on Tucsdaj, .loffro day, when medals
were being t,old nil over the city for the
Benefit of the French orphans? Well, two
tlrls, one a debutante of two years past
tnd one of tho coming year," went into this
movlo house (and incidentally It Is ono of
the so-called leading ones, and asked for
the manager. That gentleman camo for
ward and, rubbing his hands together.
Mid: "What can I do for you, ladles?"
"We would llko to sell these medals to
Jour patrons," "Oh! and what are tho
medals for?" "For the orphans of
', France." "Oh, no, I could not allow it.
'; Borne of my German-American patrons
ould not like it."
Now, I nsk you, did you evei! And this
ountry at war with Germanv and a. man
' ! afraid to help one of our allies for fear
the Germans would not like it. To say
the least, tho situation Is humorous, if It
ere not serious. Sounds like a bull. I
Mmit, but you get me, I'm sure.

before I could do either, sho had tlung open
tho companion door nnd ran down tho
it.nr.s Tho nest moment, without even
glancing about, the gltl vanished within her
Btnteiooni
I blared down Into the illmlv lighted, de
serted cabin, startled by her Impetuous
words, her sudden disappearance. I had not
previously realised that my actions toward
her had so noticeably changed. I wanted
to tell her so, and even took a step down
ward with tho puiposo nf nipping nt her
closed door, yet completed the Inclination,
nnd leturned to the open deck I could
seive her hef-t there; nnd tomoirow to
moirow she could bo mado to know tho
depth ot my Interest, yever until then, as
I stood thero alone, gazing out across the
rail over the black tea, the memory of her
face before me, did I grasp the Influence she
had upon me. Into the very depths of my
being her words cut, and biought pain nnd
Joy.

III the linnils nf the crew
THi: hours of the night gave me ample
opportunity for thought nnd careful con
sideration. Tho wind held steady, and
while tho sea roughened somewhat this
slight change was not sulllclent to diminish
our progress, or cause any swerving from
tho course set. All remained cutlet forward,
tho watch on deck (hiding little to do other
than their routine duties, and no member
of the crew had any occasion to como aft,
except those detailed to tho wheel. There
seemed no reason why I should remain on
deck, as 1-enyord and Olson proved them
selves thoroughly competent In handling
tho vessel, yet tho responsibility rested
upon me, and tho Importance of tho night's
run prevented my having any wish to re
tire below, However, I found no occasion
to lnterfero with the operation of tho ship,
and remained mostly on the main deck,
where my watchfulness assured me there
was no communication passed between fore
castle and cabin.

on a man-of-war, but. nt last, even this
vanished, as we swept steadily forward Into
the north. Some coiisdlerablo time after
midnight the lights of a steam.'r cnsthnunil
appeared oil" our port bow, nnd we husheil
our engine,, bntelv holding steerage-wav,
until the crent liner pasnl us nt full speed,

at full speed Olson, nn watch, bailed over
the rail, and spoke to me on the main
dick below
"A ( iiu.ird liner, sir."
"That would be my guess. Mi. Olson;
which pinves that we aro on the noithein
edge of the steamer lane They had
glimpse of us. '
"I doubt If they were cpilte sure sir.
A lookout law- our shadow, but they took
no chances They'll aigile nbout It all

"Av, ami nn doubt report a mil row escape

"Ves; but wo nuKht to have the fellow

"All n that, sir; an" If ou notice It's

This was true enough as 1 verified by
a trip to the pint lull, and the fog grew
steadily mom dense, until at dawn we weio
steaming recklessly through a thick cloud
of vapor, bawdy ablii to obsetve. the sur.
lace of tint seu dull, sodden gray, a few
arils In advance of our bow. Tho dense,
watery folds swept along our sides, and
Ihei rigging dilpped moisture onto the glls
Itnlng deck planks. It was a gloomy,
dieary morning enough, and, even as the
light of eat Ij dawn strengthened, I could
scitiely distinguish a thing forwaid of the
mainmast However, theie was no slow
ing up of speed or Rounding nf siren. Con.
vim ed that we weie now safelv to the noith

Hike the chance of possible collision Tho
lemcmhrunco of that warship to the south
wist and nf tho wireless message which
might have been sent nut from tho sus
picious IMinanler uiged me to accept the
unknown clanger lurking amid the gloom
ahead, rather than chance the mom cettain
pet II hoveling usteiu. Sllentlv without a
light glinimeilng nt tho extreme of our
spud limit, the Indian Chief plunged head,
long through tho gray, butting the mist
asiile. occasionally l.euyoiel. on watch,
hailed the lookout forward, and tho ie
spouse came echoing back, u mem tin end
of sound Hut ntheiwls.i there was noth
ing tn hear ejr see. liven the sails were
obscured, the lower yards a mere shadow,
wteathod about by gray mist, while the
boats hanging lu tho davits uppeuied shape,
less and grotesiiue.
My e.vea vvctu heavy from lne.k of sleep
and long staring nut thinugh the black
night; my senses dulled by hours of In
action, during which nothing unusual had
occurred to arouse me to a realization of
Impending danger. I no longer even sus
plcloned trouble or any active hostility for
ward. If mutiny was being considered
some symptoms surely would bo apparent
before now; tin effort would have been
made to communicate, with McCnnn nt
least and vet I was nssurecl that no such
uttempt had been made. N'o one could
havo ciossed that open space of deck un
seen, either from forecastlo or cabin, ana
the light burning In the latter enabled me
to seo every foot of Its interior. With tho
dawn the density nf fog enwrapping us
seemed to Incieaso and completely blot out
every glimpse of sea and sky. liven Len
ord leaning over tho rail Just above me
could scaicely bo distinguished as a man,
and evidently his eyes could not make nnj
out nt all, for he hailed doubtfully;
"Are you still on deck, Mr. Hollls?"
"Yen," I answered, staring up at his
shadow "A bad rog,
"It Is, sir. Would wo better reduce speed?
It's a blind gamble whnt may be ahead of
us."
"No. not vet: I am counting on opon
water, unci would rather chanco striking a
stray than risk being overhauled by a
Iirltlsh cruiser
"Tho sun will split this mist before noon.
and meanwhile we must make all tho
northing possible. Thero Is no storm
brewing?"
'I think not. sir; tho glass registered
fair when I camo on watch."
"I know: I looked at It myself an hour
ago. Wo'll hold on, then, Just as we are
for the present. If my figures nrc right
thero ought not to he a Bhlp yonder for
600 miles."
Thero'B likely to be floating Ice, sir."
"Scarcely bo far down at this time of
year, Mr, I-eayord, and the drift would bo
nearer the Newfoundland coast. Wo are
well to the east ot that danger. I'll go for
ward and havo word with the lookout."
I heard his "aye. aye, sir," as I crossed
to the port rail. The vessel plunged a lit

.Sftr,
see a ynrd ahead, and the deck underfoot
vvns slippery with moisture, I had reached
u point nenrly opposite tho broken stump
of tho foremast, when I was suddenly con
fronted by two blutred figures emerging
noiselessly from the deeper shadow cntt by
n qunrter boat swinging In davits. The
fellows must have known who I was, and
tho path of my approach ; no doubt they
had been close enough aft to overhear my
conversation with Lcayord, At least they
were on mo almost before I truly reallicd
their near presence the one gripping the
nrm I flung up In startled defense: the
other driving his fist straight Into my fnce,
a sledgehammer blow which sent me crash
ing bnck full length on the deck Stunned,
dazed as I was by this vicious attack. I
made an Instant's struggle, but was quickly
crushed bnck, n merciless hand gripping
my throat Almost nt tho snmo moment
the revolver was removed from my pocket,
tho cold mumle thrust against my cheek,
"l.lo still, damn you," muttered a tens
voice, and I knew tho speaker for Jim
White, "or I'll blow tho whole top o' ycr
head oft."
I retained sense enough to obey, White
knee pinning me to the deck, but some
sound of my fall must have carried nfti for
I.eavord sang out through tho fog'
"Forward there! What's all that racket
about?"
White's fingers shoked me Into helpless
silence, his knee crunching hard Into my
breast It wns Liverpool fled who an
swered sullenly
"I knocked over a capstan bar. sir,
never saw It In the bloomln' fog"
I.eayord growled something, tho words
falling to carry to us ngnlnst the wind, but
n moment later, satisfied that no further
Investigation vvns to bo made. Liverpool
thrust White aside nnd lifted mo to my feet,
his eyes glaring threat Into mine.
One whimper from you an' yer over
board." he muttered hoarsely "Take it
from me, wo know whnt we're about Come
on now an' don't attempt nuthln". There's
nobody forard hero ter give yer a hand.
Take him bv the collar, Jim "
With White's hand gripping me, nnd my
own revolver nt my bend, any attempt to
break away would have been simply sui
cide The thick fog hid the scene from those on
watch aft, and that the two men wcrn reck
less and desperate, their plans well laid,
was evident. The gray light revealed their
fai'es and theie wns no mercy in the scowl
ing eves.

They forced me around the bulk nf the
windlass to the head of tho foiecastle steps,
slid back tlin door In Its grooves nnd thrust
me staggering down Into the murky depths
below A slush light, swinging to a
blackened beam lu the deck above, cast a
ghastly vellowlsh glare over the Interior,
revealing to mo at least two-thirds of thu
crew, clustered about, evidently awaiting
some such event, llalry faces peered out
from bunks, and men wcro sprawled nbout
