JUST GOSSIP ABOUT PEOPLE
plant Exchange Held in Saturday Club House at
Wayne Today "Masque of American
Drama" in Botanical Gardens
HAVE ou lioaVcl nbout the Tlntit Exchango which lias been cottcn up out mi the
Jlnln Line? I iinilcrstrind It actually I n novelty;' nnil perhnps I nm mi old
timer, but I have not heard of a like association.
Anyhow, new or not, tho Plant Kxohanrco was hclil this afternoon nt the
if Saturday Club in Wayne from 4 until 7 o'clock. The affair wns Riven under
') ,u nusnlccs of the Woman Suffrago party of Hndnor Township NelRliborhood
League, Main I-lne Citizens' Association, Gardeners' flub nnil Weciler.s' Club.
Mrs. Horatio Gates Lloyd, of Havcrford, spoke nt B o'clock on "Home (inrdens."
Tomato, cabbage, pepper and other seedlings nnd xoeds were ti be had for free
..chance. Jnn uio iiusii-i icuu.
Everybody Invited. Come whether
jcu have any plants 10 txenange
or not."
In fact, the committee was most
desirous that friends of garden
ing, neighbors, boys nnd girls nnd
tho'lr friends, should ono nnd all
bring ns much as they could to tho
echango and take away nil they
could. Tho poster also gave sug
gestion's for n small vcgctablo
garden, twenty by thirty feet, in
which beets, peas, beans, lettuce,
onions, radishes, parsloy, turnips,
carrots, tomatoes, late peas, pep
pers. Swhs chard, corn nnd lato
iplnach could be planted. Wljat
Is more, wo arc told that nn hour
a day In such n garden will sup
ply cgctables for a family uf six.
It seems to mo a splendid Idea,
and perhaps they will have n sec
ond exchange day.
Among the women interested In
the movement wero Mrs. Nathan
Hayward, Mrs. C. Howard Clark,
Mrs. Frank von Albade Cabcen,
Jr., who Is president of the Weed
era' Club; Mrs. Oeorgo Lclb Har
rison, Mrs. Archibald Barkllo,
Mrs. Lewis Burnham, Mrs. Wil

ey, Mrs. K. Wnrlnn Wilson, Mrs.
paxson Deetcrs, Mrs. Alfred
Lowry, Mrs. Marshall Smith, Miss
Esther Lloyd, Mrs. W. W. Montgom
ery. Jr.
A number of these women havo can
assed Radnor township advocating home
gardens nnd tho cultivation of vacant lots.
SOCIETY will bo out in force at tho
Botanical Gnrdens of tho University
of Pennsylvania this evening, when "The
Masque of American Drama" will recelvo
Its Initial picsontatlon. With u brilliant
list of patronesses and celebrities of tho
drama and operatic worlds In attendance,
the audience Is certuln to be a most rep
resentative ono from the standpoints of
art, literature nnd music.
Reginald de Koven. who composed the
icorc, and Percy Mackayo, tho noted
dramatist, havo come over from New
York especially for the occasion, while
the friends of tho University and tho rela
tives of tho student participants will bo
there to see nnd upplaud. The one out
standing fact of the masque which nil
Phlladelphlans must realize with pride
is that it will be the most spectacular and
most gorgeous outdoor pageant over pro
duced In this country. Three stages have
been built in the Botanical Gardens for
the purpose of displaying tho marvelous
efTects, ballets and scones. Tho enst has
been selected with great caro and the do
talls are virtually exhaustive.
Among tho patronesses are Mrs. J.
Willis Martin, Mrs. Cornelius Stevenson,
Mrs. David Lowis, Mrs. Matthew Balrd,
Mrs. a. .T. Drnxel Bid'dle. Mrs. John Brln-
ton, Mrs. Jasper Yeates Brlnton, Mrs. J.
Harrison Smith, Mrs. William Houston
Greene, Mrs. Florence Fox, Mrs. Ephralm
Brlce. Mrs. Ell Kirk Price and Mrs. Ed
ward T. Stotesbury.
FUNNY things certninly do happen
these days. And there Is no account
ing for human nature, you know. How
ever, photographers should be moro dis
creet when officers are going off to dis
tant forts and friends and acquaintances
accompany them to the train and bid them
ft fond farewell. They really should.
At the Terminal on Friday night much
mbarrassment was caused when a tall,
handsome young man with much south
ern accent entered tho gates accompanied
by a dainty maiden and followed by other
friends. An eager photographer accosted
the first two and said to the young man,
"Can I take a picture of you and tho girl
aylng good-by?" Naturally there was a
whoop from the young offlcer-to-be's
Wends. And tho photographer fled pre
eipitately. I wonder, however, if his sug
gestion helped tho farewell, for certain It
la that two at least In that group (and
they were not relatives, either) were seen
to kiss the young gentleman good-by
With touching solicitude.
' Wouldn't you like to know who It was?
Well, I can't tell you, It might embarrass
them; especially tho falr-halred lassie who
waa accosted by the picture man.

CHAl'TBIl XXIII. (Conllnueil)
TUG eyes of the two men met, and
Liverpool blurted out.
"They'll all do whnt we say; there's none
ov 'cm yer kin count on fcr ter fight on
your side; but maybe thero's a couplo we
won't havo no use for when wo tako to
tho boats."
"Who are they?"
Thar's mi need o' my tellln' yer that."
"Well, even with those two this will only
Blo us six able-bodied men; that Is tint
enoiiRh with which tn luini; tho Indian
Chief Into port."
"It will be all you'll li.ue, nnjhnw,"
said McCann srlmly. "And you aro mighty
lucky at that. Tho drift will bo south
ward, and will tako you directly Into the
steamer lime. All you need do Is to keep
steeraKe way and wait until you aro picked
un. You don't Imaulno wo want you fcail-
lne Into the harbor at St. John's tha same
tlmo wo get there, do you? Come on now;
stop this talk and glvo us nn nntwer."
For a long moment I stood motionless,
staring out through tho open poit at tho
sunlit waters. It seemed to me my best
course wns to at least pretend to yield
to their wishes. Nothing teitalnly could
bo gained through refusal, for uiey pos
he.ssed the power to compel obedience. To
ncciulosco would Insure me .1 measuro of
freedum on boaid, an oppoitunlty to learn
the exact conditions and might enable mo
to save tho ship from destruction. Tha
mutineers had already gone ton far to wlth
diaw; their position was sufllcicntly des
perate to render them reckless as to other
crimes. Probably there was no act they
would hesitate to resoit to now to Insure
their cscapo from the punishment already
due under the law. Not ecn minder, the
sinking of tho vessel at sea, would bo be
yond them.
As to McCann, ho had some object In all
this far mora Important than uppcurcd on
tho surface. Ho was nexer assuming this
rlBk or Investing all this money In an
Illegal cause without a more serious pur
pose than an Idle desire to return to New
York. Ho was taking a tremendous chance,
driven by some Impulse 1 could not compre
hend What was tho secret hate, revenge,
greed, love? I would llnd out some time;
but now I could only uropo In tho d.irk,
guessing at his motives. Vet I know this
his promises wero lies. Ho would make use
of me; he would Induce me to pilot the ship
to the spot he desired to attain on the
broad bosom of tho ocean nnd then what?
The man would never be fool enough to
permit the Indian Chief to sail into any
harbor to accuse him of such a crime. Back
of all his words, his explanations, his ap
parent fairness lurked treachery I felt It
and knew It. and the ery suspicion led me
to reach swift decision. 'My eyes met his
with n smile. ...
"I cannot conceive that I have much
choice." I said quietly "It Is to either do
this In freedom or under compulsion, Nat
urally I prefer the former. This Isn't my
boat, you know, or my cargo. I merely
agreed to navigate It ns a kindness to lias
com and In a spirit of adventure My head
Is worth more to mo um.. "-"-and
there is no reason why I shouldn't fig
ure out the position for you. Indeed, I must
do It for the safety of the ship. It's nearly
n0"Yourncan you accept our offer?"
"Yesl I will figure out the proper course
nnrt retiort to you when the vessel Is nt
fhe Placo Vou designate. That Is all that
U asked of me. In return I have your
pledge that the .hip will be left In good
condition with nil who are loyal safe on
board?"
"Yes "
"There Is one more condition, McCann."
"That Mlas Carrlngton be left absolutely

"Wo will not quarrel about It cither eay
yes or no."
"What do nu mean by unmolested? Am
t pinhlblted from speaking to tho lady?"
"That Is to bo left to her choice, not
yours. She is to retain tho key to her
btateroom ; to eat alone If she profcrs, nnd
to see such associates aboard as she de
slresi." Liverpool laughed drunkcnly.
"Ter hell with tho difference," he said
easily. "So far as I eeo that don't change
things none She's locked herself In any
how, un' won't answer nobody, Yer might
as well tell tho shipper yes, Mister McCann,
nn' let him get on deck ter shoot tho sun.
We don't wanter loso a whole day Just dick
cling down here "
McCann growled something which I took
to bo accent, and I was, myself, so anxious
to ascertain our oxnet position, as to have
no deslro for further argument. Tho best
course nf action I could pursue for tbobo
left helpless aboard was to accept what
e er degree of freedom the mutineers offered
mo In i etui n for tho servlccB I could render
them. 1 could be nf no posslblo valuo
locked a prisoner In that stateroom; no pro
tection to her. Indeed, If I refused to nav
igate the vei-sel, leaving tho bhlp to drift
blindly through theso unknown waters, ex
posed constantly to peril, I would bo guilty
of a failuro to do my duty almost as great
as tho crime, of theso others. On deck,
knowing where wo were and the direction
In which wo wero heading, tho opportunity
might urlso for the accomplishment of much
1 grasped tho necessarv Instruments from
tho swinging shelf, and, with these In my
hands, turned toward tho door.
"Como on then," I said, Ignoring tha fact
that 1 was any longer a prisoner. "Bring
tho chart ono of you, nnd I'll point out
where wo aro to you on deck."
"Just hold on a minute." nnd Liverpool,
blocking tho doorway, pushed mo back with
his huge hand. "Wo'ro tho bosres, not
you. Git it out o' yer head right now, Mis
ter, that yer tho captain of this ship In
dian Chief. Damn yer! yo ain't nuthln';
and' if yer attempt to play us any dirty
tricks, I'll smnsh yer tho same as I would
a Jly. Ain't that right, Mister McCann?"
"Oh, llollls understands, Bed, Ho knows
we've gono too far In this gamo to tako
any chances. Let him pabs."
"Well," growled tho slant, stepping aside,
"I Just wanted him ter know. I don't kill
nobody lu cold blood; but I'm goln1 ter take
keer of myself, an' my matey. Yer git me,
i kipper?"
"Yes, I get you," I answered a bit wearily.
"So let It go at that, my man; I know tho
tlmo to fight, and tho time to keep quiet.
Now let's gil on deck."

The Interruption
EXCKPT for the absence of tho regular
ofllcers from their stations I should not
have known any especial change had taken
place on board the ship. Outwardly every
thing nppeared about as usual Thcro wero
no signs of disorder In the lifter cabin, al
though beveral of tho stateroom doors stood
wide open, and Dade, who was polishing tho
stair rail, turned and gazed nt mo curiously
as I emerged behind Liverpool, with Mc
Cann tialnlng behind. Tho latter paused to
Insert tho key Into the lock of tho door,
and I Indulged lu one swift glance about
tin- npartment.
"Bascom occupies his own fctateioom?"
Liverpool nodded ungraciously enough.
"And Miss Corrlngton retains hers,"
"Wo are not here to bo Interviewed, Hol
11s." broke In McCann sharply, "Go along
on deck nnd keep your tongue to yourself."
lleallnlng that silence was my best
weapon, I made no response, but climbed
the nalrs. It wns a day of beauty, a poft
southwest wind blowing, the sky a deep
bluo overhead and the tea Just rough
enough to bo full of charm, tho wave crests
tipped with sun, tho hollows dark with
shadows. I paused an Instant, Featnanllke.
as my eyes swept the distant horizons, nnd
then wandered aloft to tho furled topsails.
It was. Indeed, a fair picture, with tho In
dian Chief nlono amid tho whole expanse of
tho ocean. Forward a few sailors loitered
about tho capstan, and there was n man In
the maintop, but these were all that were
vljsible, and they stared at us without move
ment. White leaned oyer tho noon rail.
looking down In client curiosity but no
where was thero any evidence of disorder
or relaxation of discipline The decks wero
clean had evidently been scrubbed that
morning, nnd nowhere could I perceive any
signs that the ship was In tho hands of
mutineers, Liverpool gripped my shoulder.
I'p the ladder with you." he ordered,
"There's too little time left for gaping
about here."
Thero were two men at the wheel, although
ono could have attended to the Bervlce, ns
the ship was at half speed nnd the sea' far
from heavy. I recognized both fares hi
couldn't recall their names ; the shorter fel
low, deeply potted, exhibited a fresh scar.
wlcre I had struck him with my boot heel
the night before. He grinned good na
turcdly and pointed to the bruised Mesh as
I caught his eye, White was evidently the
temporary odlcer, In charge, and the bru
tality of his face was clearly revealed In
tho bright light as he loaned against the
rail. However. I had scarcely time to more
than glance about, as the sun waa already
at the zenith. The others stood around
ilent. watching as I figured out our nmi.
tlon on the back of nn envelope. I took my
time at It, not only from my own anxiety
to be accurate, but also because of other
thoughts In my .rnlnd, yet the calculation
waa completed at last, and I lifted my eypa

"As euro as I can bet the (jhronomster
hasn't bocn corrected since the ship left
Baltimore ; except for possible variations on
that account, tho figures nro right. Spread
out tho chart and I'll show you where we
are within ten miles. Here that was our
position at noon yesterday; since then our
courso has been about as follows hand me
the ruler and compasses, White, Yea, thoso
are what I moan. Now lean down here
whche you can seo for yoursolves. Wo had
nor', nor'eost until sundown at quarter
speed; then straight north at from fifteen
to eighteen knots as long as I was on deck.
That should havo put us alone In here.
What did you do after that?"
Llvorpoot stepped over to the binnacle
and peered Into the hood.
"About a point west o north, with tha
wind on our port quarter."
"At what speed?"
"Pretty steady, as we are now, Isn't that
It, 'White?"
"Yes ; shut down maybe for an hour,"
"When did you furl the sails?"
"Aftor wo Btarted up the engines again;
whllo wo had all hands on deck."
"Well," I nnnounced, after a moment of
measuring, "that would tally pretty close
with tho figuring. Our present position Is
Just about hero, whero I put tho red cross."
Tho threo bent down nnd stared nt the
spot on tho chart, McCann even getting to
his knees on tho deck, and tho two wheels
men craning forward to look over our
heads. Thero was a moment of breathless
silence, nnd then McCann took tho com
passes from my hand nnd began to measuro
distancos.
"Two hundred and ton miles to the north
ern extremity, of Newfoundland Is that
it?"
"A trifle more. I should say."
"This Is St. John's here ; what southing
does that give?"
"Over two hundred."
"Do you know the harbor?"
"Only by description; I have never been
thcro. This Is the best season, of courso,
but even nt that tho coast la not considered
very safe."
"Ico?"
"Thero might be some even this late, but
the principal danger Is from storms and fog.
St. John's Is qulto a. shipping point, how
ever, and a naval base during tho summer
months."
"Bvcn tho Montreal steamers pass to tho
south of whero we are?"
"They do not even sight Cape Bace."
Ho studied tho map a few moments
longer, the three men talking earnestly
whllo I left them and walked over to tho
starboard rail.
It was of no particular Interest to me
whero they decided to go the one port
meant the same to mo as another; I was
only anxious to havo tho matter definitely
settled and learn my exact status on board.
Finally McCann got up, rolling the chart In
his hand
"Thero Is no uso then," he called, "of our
going further north?"
I turned and faced them.
"Not If your port Is St. John's; the course
woufd bo sou", sou'west. Is there anything
moro wanted of mo nt present?"
McCann turned and spoko to tho others,
both nnswerlng him In low tones.
"No," he said stiffly. "Wo will send for
you If you are needed again on deck."
"I am expected to keep below?"
"Below and to your stateroom. If you
attempt to converse with any of. the crew
you will be locked In."
I passed them without n word and clam
bered down tho ladder to the main deck,
awaro of the grinning faces of the men at
tho wheel. Humiliating as tho situation
was, this was no tlmo for resistance or the
exhibiting of a spirit of revolt. White
crossed oer to tho rail and watched until
I vanished within the companion. I realized
his presence without to much ns glanc
ing up.
