Clothier. Strange Happenings I SUPPOSE you would llko to know tlio names of tho kiddles who Judged tho dolls that wcro entered In tho show which took place out nt tho Hilly Clothiers' to day. Thoy were awfully particular chil dren, so I undorstnud the dolls were Just the tiniest bit worried to see if their faces wero washed nnd their dresses just tho freshest they had on. nnd ns to ihoes and finger nails well, bcllevo me, they wero careful. for these were tho JiuIrcs: Mnrgarctta Rowland, Knthcrlne Stewnrt, Knn Kitlcr and Caroline ABhton. Don't you agree with mo these dolls wero right to be careful to have their hulr brushed nnd curled nnd their sashes properly tel? You know there wns a bnby show, too, but the prizes wero not nwarded by Judges, but according t the amount of cash paid In by the grandpas nnd grand mas, uncles, aunts, sisters, brothers and fond parents. For the prizes wcro given according to tho number of votes received by each baby, and some one expressed the hope that for the sake of Workman's Place and Main Line Ilrnnch No. 1 of the American Red Cioss, the two ljencllclarle-H for which nil this excitement has Wn started, the vote? would roll up to n ma jority the size of that which United States Senator Johnson tecclvcd in California last Novemocr. i Do you know really this nffnlr, which started In as o pony show about live j ears ago, lias developed so with Its many and various side shows that one does not always lemember It Is the Pony Enow. But It was, ott know, and the ponies, as well as the dolls nnd dogs, looked and did their best. And Mrs. Clothier provided a dandy luncheon, which was served fiom noon on, so the dolls did not get hungry nor their Judges cither, for that matter. I heard that "Bella" (Jlrvln, "Emily" Has tings, "Dorothy" Biooke, "Annie" Biooke nnd "Francis" Fltler wero among the stylish dolls who are entered for tho show. Gladys Muller had charge of the movies, nnd they wero wonders, they tell me. Gladys Is still In tho school set, so this was a decidedly Interesting matter for her and her friends. Mrs. Victor Mather, who was chairman of tho pony show, announced the ex hibitors: Elslo Cassatt Stewart. Anita I'orter Clothier, Catherine B. Clothier. Fiances Powell, Dorothy Clothlor, Anita Strawbrldge, Lydla Morris Clothier, Florenco Clothier, the Kendrlck children and the little Montgomery girls, Caro line Ashton, the little Devcroux boy nnd girl, Pauline Munn, Kntherlno Snowden, Jean Scott, Frances Mills, Anne Ashton, Catherlno Mather, Rita Dolan, Anne Chew, Georglna Yeatman, Bllllo Wlster, Edward Fitch, 3d, Victor Mather, Jr., Alexander Cassatt.

Well, she decided to give a shower to one of her friends the other day, and when the time came all tho girls were sitting round watching the guest of honor open the packages and listening as she lead the bentlments which wero neatly Inscribed on each card. When the hostess's present was opened the recipient's face had a wor ried look, and she said to tho donor In a low voice: "I don't quite understand. Did you mean to be funny or is it be cause of the war times?" Imagine tho consternation of the hostess und the de light of tho other guests when tho card was held up and on It were seen the words "Love nnd sympathy." Of course, It was explained she had Just taken a card out of her case in the dark and put It in without writing any sentiment upon it. And, you see, sev eral days befoie It had been necessary to send a card of condolenco to a filend, and tho lines she had written were not straight, so she used another card und slipped the first one back Into the ense, on'y to bring It out on this Inauspicious occasion. After nil, the laugh over it started the ball rolling for the evening's fun. ' NANCY WYNNE. Personals Mrs. Thomas C. Foster nnnounces the engagement of her daughter. Miss Jose phine C.

"I know )ou aro armed, but " "Walt. Captain llollls," and ber fingers caught my arm. "This matter Itnolves me, and I wish to hear tltii facts Go on, please " Mi Cann grinned Into my face, but kept one hand behind him. gripping his revolver. "There Is not much to tell," he went on, almot Jauntily "1 saw exactly bow things were going befoie wo left the bolt. I Knew Holiis'a reputation ashore, and deter mined to wiuii ou of his purpose, but had no nppoitiinlty. Besides 1 felt jnu had so poor all opinion of mo that probably you would not listen." "You wcro greatly mistaken, Mr Mc Cnnn." she said pleasantly.

That yuu would have listened?" "Most assuiedl) How coulll you think otherwise?

I "looked at her In amazement, but her eyts never met mine Wh.it.dld this mean? Was the gill acting a pait? Was slio en deavoring to deceive him. or was sbo speaking now In deadly eamcht? Nothing in her manner or In the totio of ber voice gave me a clue. She appealed earnest, frank, sincere, and I .held silent, realizing that whatever her secret purpoie might be, m ivoids of mine would change It As for McCann, the very Impression of his faco pictured his delight, his conviction of her sincerity It v. as almost too good to bo true, yet his vas not a nature to doubt his own attractiveness "I I you surprise me," lie stammered, absolutely forgetting my presence. "I I assure vou I was actuated by tho highest motives' in all my efforts. My my duty wns to you and your father. Tho Interest between 5011 and llollls then has not gone so far as to bo beyond my power to remedy?" She smiled "Oh, no ; I assure you " 'He turned and faced me, the bully In him Burglng to the surface. "I will com rise with Ztiss Carrlngton alone. You were oidered to your stateroom before " "I did not so understand. I was merely told to go below " "Well, you umlerstand now. Open the door ; go in and close It " To resist would have been utter foolish ness. I could see the gleam of the gun In his hand nnd realized that bo only re epilred nn exciue to uso It. Moie, there was nothing In the expression of the girl's face to Insplro me to resistance Sbo did not even glance toward mo or exhibit the slightest interest. Yet never did I hato, despise the fellow more than at that In stant. Every nerve In me throbbed with the desire to reach out nnd crush him vilth my hands. Aye. and I would have done It. risking his shot, staking nil oil my strength nnd epilckness. had I not seen nt that mq ment White appear at the head of tho stairs, staring down at us his hand still gripping the door of tho companion. Even as he hesitated Dade emerged from the steward's pantry laden with dishes. McCann saw them also, and nls courage flared up. "Don't forget, llollls," and his volco had In It the old harshness, "that you are no longer captain of the Indian Chief. Return to your room." With hands clinched in Impotent rage, not even venturing a reply. I stepped back, ward. As I crossed the threshold McCann closed the door, and I heard the key turn In the lock, No other sound reached my cars except a smothered laugh nnd the rattle of dishes as Dado deposited his load on the table, I waited n moment, bending close to tho wood, in the hopes of over-, hearing some scrap of conversation, but the intervening door was sufficiently solid to ht out all semblanco of sound. Trem bling still with anger and dated by the atrange action of the.girl I nank back upon A, WEDNESDAY, MAY" Yfc l&7'Tfe.,Z5rfJxl CARRYING IT TOO FAR I'opjrlBlit Life 1'uMlshlni; All sbo bod dono and said appeared so natural It really ooourred to mo at once that she might lie actinir a nart. seeking in this way to gain McCann's confidence in order to win from him the Infmmatlon we requited. It was only as I sat thero In silence, brooding over ovety detail, that tills possible conception began to slowly dawn upon my mind That she e-ould trust tho man In any way was virtually im possible, for ho had revealed to her his true character In so many ways the mem ory could not bo blotted out No. her graclousness must lie assumed to cloak :i purpose ; her quick womanly wit had In stantly grasped tho only avenue to escape. Why, how- swiftly that wit hnd worked In her rapid explanation of our overheard con veisatlon. 1 e-ould think of nothing to say; could call up, upon tho spur of the mo ment, no cemhinatlnti of circumstances which would make tin- spoken wotds sound intelligible. But slin had ; she had In stantly fitted the very phrase which sounded tiie most suspicious Into a remaik so ex ttemely natural as to even convince Mc Cann she spoke truly Strange she should have thought of that; thai she should havo hit upon the very Idea most apt to de ceive him I could hear ber voice, soft, hesitating, repeating again the words- "Cap tain llollls has asked me If If I thought 1 could learn to like him. and I said I thought I could. That was all" It was nu explanation no man would likely ques tion; even In his suspicion and anger it e-nrrled conviction to McCann. And the words embarrassing words they must have been were spoken to save me; wete uttered for my sake As the full knowledge of this tiuth grew apparent I was able to view all that bad incurred later In a different light She had simply accepted her ono chane-e; had grasped with womanly Intuition the single weapon left nt her command All at once, inspired b.v sudden confidence, sho bad de termined to fight out the battle alone. Gill as she vias in years, her experience In tho world had been that of a woman, and sho Instinctively realized her power the powei of wealth, of beauty and of youth. Posslbiy she was not wholly unaware that McCnr.n exhibited already personal interest in her if not, she certainly felt confident that she could arouse such Interest if she made the endeavor. My questioning, my doubt, turned to admiration. It had been beautifully done, so deftly accomplished as to dec've even me Ave! and tho method had succeeded with McCann I recalled the expression of surprise, of gratification, of awakened pride on the man's face. Ho had tio power of resistance left ; he was already putty In her hands, True, but would he remain so? The game Eho played was a dangerous one; if sho ventured too far sho would discover the brute lurking In him still. And be had the power, tho physical power, to wreak vengenneo onco he suspected deceit. His money, his education, his force made him supreme o.i board : neither Liverpool or White would venture to oppose any plan he might rromulgatc, and, with their back Ing. tha mutinous crew would be found obedient enough. Indeed, they hnd gone so far already they must stick together now for mutual safety. And the-e was no ono to help ber If she made a slrgle false step absolutely no one; she was a lamb among wolves. I paced tho nnrrow space, forgetful of all else except this peril which Imagination pictured, pans. Ing to listen at the door nnd glancing out the open port on the vista of tea nnd sky. God ! how weak, how- helpless I was alone, a prisoner, with no weapon nt hand; no knowledge even of where the others on whom I cculd depend were confined. If I could plan. If I could even hope to act, I was ready enough to perform a man's part; but even this was denied me. Thoso fellows would never release me .again, not fir n moment, 1 would be compelled to take ob servations, to calculate position, to trace our sailing :ourse nn the chart, hut not for an instant would I bo left again unguarded, either on deck or In the cabin. McCann would see to that. The afternoon passed, dragging Its weary hours. Nothing happened to relieve the monotony and dread of Bolltude. No one approached the door of the stateroom, not even tp offer me food, and my ears were able to distinguish no sound of movement In the main cabin. Occasionally footsteps nassed along the deck overhead, and once or twice I heard tha voice of Liverpool, alng I o't0l-?.r2lrii9ihi2SLi1',rwlsiJi Company, lleprlnted by special arrangement. waters and telling ma the ship held to Its southwest course, but the ocean, so far ns I could see, remained desolate, tho horizon unbroken by a gleam of sail or smudge of smoko. No echo of a cry reached mo from nny lookout aloft The vessel proceeded QUlell) no effort being made apparently to achieve speed. I Judged our rate would not exceed eight knots, and decided there was either n scarcity of men In the stokehole, or clso they were conserving fuel to nttaln greater spoed during tho hours of darkness. j ne nrigni sunlight began to fado Into a purple dusk. CHATTER XXVI A French Man-of-war NO FOOD was brought me during the nfternoon, nor had I eaten all day. yet my mental state was such I had no con sciousness of hunger. The rattle of dishes was about the only sound reaching mo from tho cabin making mo aware of the passage of time. Thus I could determine when Dado set and cleared the table. The last meal of the day hung on until long nfter dark, and I had given up nil thought of being remembered The sea without was shrouded In blackness, except for the faint glimmer of starlight reflected along tha crests of racing billows. Within I bad dls. covered no means of creating a light, al though my ejes wero sulllelently uccus tomed to the dimness to enable me to move about my narrow- quarters safely enough. From the sound of his voice, which occa sionally i cached me thiough the open port, 1 was aware that Jim White had charge of the deck above, and the revolutions of tho screw Indicated a marked Increase In speed, probably to twelve knots. It must have been between eight nnd nlnn n'clne-k when tho key turned In the lock of my door nnd Liverpool looked In. Tho light from the swinging lamp in tho main cabin flared Into my eyes, blinding me, yet I recognized his face, and saw Dade close behind him bearing a tray. Neither man spoke, but Red, having assured him self of my presence, stood nslde nnd mo tioned tho steward to enter. The latter deposlte-d the laden tray on the desk and limited out sllentl). every movement show Ing him thoioughly cowed by his guardian. Realizing that any word from me would only result In Insult I remained silent, and the two disappeared, closing and locking tho door behind them. I confess I ate the food with relish, for It was well cooked and served with some daintiness. After a second cup of coffee I felt much more like ray solf, rummaging through the captain's chest until I found some tobacco and a pipe, which I at onco appropriated to my own use. No one returned for the emptied dishes, and I sat for a long while at the open port smoking, the blue spiral swept away by the rush of air and my eyes on the starlit waters. My mind was busy enough, Car too busy to permit of sleep, yet my thoughts brought me nowhere. The situation, from my point of view, was absolutely hopeless, No doubt I could break down the door, but this would only creato nn alarm, and I would emerge Into tho grip of a dozen men. Even If free thero was no possibility of my winning back control of the ship alone and unaided. Every weapon on board was In possession of the mutineers, and they were taking no chances on having their plans overturned. The leaders, at least, realized the desperate situation In which they had placed themselves by lawless action and would permit no one to stand In the path of their escape. The very grim silence with which food had been given me Intensified my feeling that no mercy was contemplated. They would use me; would command my knowl edge of navigation, would compel me to guide them to the exact spot chosen and then what?
