Among the Features

tho Women's Auxiliary of Ablngton
Memorial Hospital, which will bo held on
Juno G nt Latham I'ark on Old York
road, Oak Ln.no, promises to bo more than
tmnrt.
llcllcvo me, theso women havo pot some
Ideas, and new ones, too, nt that, and
they nro golntr to carry them out. Klrst
and foremost, there will bo tho darling
est Chow puppy with auburn curls whlc'i
will bo chanced off. And Imagine, my
dears, ho Is no ordinary pup, not byany
menns whatsoever, for his namo Is none
ether than Joffro and about his canine
neck thero will bo suspended a Joffro
medal, and so you know how exciting It
would bo to win him. I do not know
who will raffle him off, but I nm told
that an auburn-haired miss Is likely to bo
chosen, for ono must liavo a symphony of
color, you know.
I hear thero Is to he another silk Rtock
lnc table. Do you remember, last year, or
was It tho year before, when nil tho men
vvoro busily buying silk stockings for ten
cent paddles and giving to whosoever
would accept? Somo little harvest that'
Let's go!
One thing tho committee Is to havo on
chancc3 will bo n luminous watch for
trench wnrfnre. You know tho kind I
mean. It has a luminous faco and lumi
nous numbers to bo seen In tho dark. The
dial Is unbreakablo and tho strap non
absorbent. As I said, when I heard about
It, what a vocabulary ono ncqulres these
days, when ono learni tho wonderful
things for which trench warfare is re
tponslblo. So If your very "bestest" Is
going to war, tako a chanco on getting
him a watch of this kind.
A trench mirror has nl&o been donated
to tho cause, mado of nonbreakable
latema, which Is a sort of metal highly
polished, you know; such a those used
by tho Roman matron of olden days
Fix little kiddles of six years of age,
dressed ns lied Cross nurses, will sell war
bread, known In Russia ns "ehnry klep"
nnd In Sweden ns "knauch brod," both
fMttural sounds, meaning. In plain Amer
ican, bluck bread. War cako will nlso bo
cold, that Is, cgglcss, buttcrless, mllkless
and flourless cake. I sure nm curious to
fee them, and goodness knows how soon
we may havo to cat both If this war lasts
long, and wo havo no reason to believe It
will be a short affair, t-o far ns I can
figure things out.

UTTTHAT do you think of our guests?" I
W asked finally. "Can we trust them
at all?"
".Vot so far as you could Bwlng a bull by
tho tall, sir," ho answered soberly. "They
ain't forgot tho night In tho boat yet. but
thero's Just as much hell In 'em as there
ever was."
"Your opinion is, they will nevtr help sail
this ship Into St. John's If any villainy will
savo them?"
"That's It, sir ; they're so black now they
won't mind a llttlo more "
"That's my Judgment ; we must keep them
apart as much as wo can. and havo nn eye
on them all tho time. Row about Dugan?'
"Ho talks straight enough, nnd to my
notion means to play snunro"
"That was my Impression i bo's Irish, nnd
hotheaded, but no criminal Masters can
keep an eye on Whlto and Tony down be
low, nnd with StcCann In Sir. l.eayord's
watch on deck, nnd Liverpool along with
you, we ought to bo nblo to keep the fel
lows separated. Resides, I'll bo about most
of the tlmo."
"How long do you suppoto It will be.
sir?"
"Today and another night likely : 1' can
tell better when I got an observation at
noon. It will not glvo them much tlmo fur
plotting."

hour later all aboard enjoyed u warm meal,
eating aliko In the nfter cabin
Iiy 2 o'clock everything had settled down
into a routine, and 1 could hardly reallzo
the Incidents of tho last few hours. Tho
wind had diminished noticeably nnd the sea
no longer battered us.
Tho Indian Chief was again on the direct
course for a port, with bow pointed to the
south of west, with Dugan nlono at the
wheel, a short pipe clinched In his teeth I
had taken my observation nt noon, llndlng
that our present position was within thirty
miles of whero we had been the day previ

discovered a steamer chair and in tho shade
of the front cabin mado pretense at read
Ing As I drew near, however, I found her
sound asleep. Forward, Just beyond tho
mainmast, Olson, with two of tho men, was
cobbling up a small boat tho dinghy, tho
only ono left aboard In an effort to mako
It seaworthy. SIcCann was not among
them, nnd Leayord was In his stateroom.
Tho whole scene was so peaceful that 1
yielded to my own need of rest, certain I
should bo on deck all night, nnd returned
to tho cabin. I left my stateroom door open,
but In ten minutes was sound asleep.
What awakened mo I do not know. I
had a confused sense of some heavy body
falling, but no other sound. Yet this Im
pression was so strong, so Insistent, that I
sat up in my berth and stared out through
the open door Into the cabin beyond. I
must have been sleeping for some time, for
tho rays of tho sun no longer streamed
down through tho deck transom nnd tho
cabin Interior appeared dark and shadowy.
1 neither saw nor heard anything, yet did
not withdraw my eyes when I got to my
feet : then I knew that tho dark, shapeless
object, half under the table, was tho mo
tionless body of a man. Sty throat seemed
to contract and choke me, but I forced a
quick breath and stepped forward through
the door. Tho dingy cabin was deserted,
not another stateroom door open. Tho table
had been cleared of dishes, a decanter of
brandy standing alone on tho swinging
shelf. Underneath, with faco concealed In
the crook of ono arm, lay a man, an ugly
gash In the back of his colored shirt,
through which fresh blood was oozing and
dripping to tho deck. I sprang forward
and turned him over Dubois I
I could hardly accept this cvldcnco of my
own eyes. Good God ! how had this thing
happened? How did the crippled sailor ever
get Into tho cabin? Whose hand could
have struck the blow? and for what pur
pose was It struck? It was murder, a cow
ardly slash from behind : no wound which
could have been self-inflicted, but n blow
of deliberate purpose. Who aboard would
have reason to seek the life of Dubois?
I could think of no ono ; no cause for such
a crime. An Instant I stared, dazed, into
the dead, upturned face, not even knowing
where to turn, In which direction to seek
the murderer. I felt as though every fac
ulty of both brain and body was paralyzed
by the shock. Yet this was but for an In
stant. I tr,e(1 tne AoOTf of the various
taterooms; nil opened 4t my touch, ex
cepting BaBCom's, and proved unoccupied.
Ills was locked as usual, and I felt it use
less to disturb the man. I-eayord was no
longer below; he had doubtless awakened
and gone on deck, but I discovered Dade
asleep In hli old berth down the passage,
shook him awaka and compelled him to
come back with me.
The horror of his face at sight of the dead
body only intensified my own, but I had
grip on my nerves by now, nnd was deter
mined to learn the truth.
"Stay here until I find out what Is hap.
penlng on deck Thare U nothing to ba
afraid of, you fool l the man la dead. Yes.

until I come back, and keep your eyes
open."
As I emerged from tho compinlon. leav
ing thnt dingy, death-shadowed cnbln be
hind, the open dock was such a scene of
quiet ns to appear like another world. Vera
was still resting In her chair not twenty
foot nwny. Should I tell her tho truth''
Why not? The tragedy could not bo con
cealed, and from wliern sho had been rest
ing ever sinro I went below, sho could not
help but seo nny ono passing In or out of
tho cabin. Sho glanced up, smiling n wel
come, as I crossed tho deck, but tho ex
pression of her fnco Instantly changed ns
our eyes met.
"What Is It. Sir. Hollls? Are wo again
In danger?"
"Thero has been trouble below Let m
question you hoforo I explain. You havo
been hero for the last hour?"
"Yes ; longer even than that."
"Who havo you scon enter the com
panion?" "I slept at first, but havo been nw-ako for
somo time Undo camo out mi deck a few
moments and then went back again; thnt
must havo been an hour ago Thero was
no ono else until Sir. Leayord was called
to tako his watch "
"Who called him?"
"Olson ; l-.o wag not below moro than n
minute "
"And Leayord responded Immediately?"
"Yes. so quickly I remember thinking ho
could not havo removed his clothes to lie
down."
"And when was this?"
"A half hour ago; ho stopped and spoko
with me beforo taking charge of tho deck."
".Vo olio has entered tho cabin nlnco?"
Slio shook her head
".Vi one. I am sure; Sir. Olson did not
go below; ho Ii forward thero now. Please
tell mo what has happened?"
"Iluholi has been killed," 1 explained
brlclly. "I found his body on tho cabin
deck Tho deed was Just done; his fnll
nwoko mo from sleep, hut beforo I could
leavo the stateroom tho murderer had dis
appeared "
"He ho was murdered! You aro suro'"
"Tljoro was a knlfo wound In the back
piercing tho heart. Tho man died without
u sound "
Sho roso to her feet, hor faro white, her
body trembling so thnt I put out my hands
to her support, nnd instantly her flngors
clasped mine.
CIIArTKU XXXV
A .Maniac on Ilnonl.
THH horror with which sho looked into
my faco held me speechless. Could It
bo posslblo that sho suspected, knew, tho
perpetrator of this crime that sho sought
to shield him?
"You searched the cabin? You found no
one?"
"Only Dado sound nsleep In the steward's
statoroom. I awoko him, and left him on
watch below."
"Thero was no ono hiding In any of tho
staterooms? You tried tho doors?"
"They wero all empty, sir. Rascom's
door was the only one locked."
"You you mado him open?"
"No; why disturb him?"
Sho drew u quick breath, her eyes on
my face.
"You you havo not seen Philip Das
com lately?"
"No. not slnco we had supper together."
"You saw nothing strango then In his
actions, or words?"
"Why nothing that I remarked. Ho
seemed about as usual; moro haggard, and
nervous posslhly, but ho spoke cheerfully
enough. What can you mean?"
"Oh, I do not really know: nerhnn.. t
ought not to say such a thing. I meant
to havo spoken to you about It before but
so much happened. I forgot. I I suspect
Philip Rnscom is insane."
"Insane! Good God! why do you say
that?",
"Ho has talked to mo so strangely I
cannot tell you what ho has Bald but
he seems obsessed with tho thought that
SIcCann Is a devil pursuing him, and driv
ing him to hell. Hoho frightened mo
nnd I waB hardly nblo to quiet him "
"And you sutpect ho killed Dubois?"
"Who else could It have been?"
Thero was no nnswer possible. Every
other man on board was already accounted
for. The truth was borno In upon mo Ir
resistibly I heard Leayord pacing tho
deck abovo in. and I looked down Into the
girl's white face.
"Sit down hero again, dear, and wait " I
urged. "Wo must trace this matter to'tha
bottom nt once."
"You will not be harsh unkind?"
"Assuredly not ; but we cannot leavo nn
insane person at large; nq one could tell
who might provo his next victim lie
Leayord!" " ,r'
Tho mate thrust his head over tha
forward rail. r lno
"Who has tho wheel?"
"Liverpool, sir."
"Do you know If Sfasters Is in the en.
glne room?"
"I think he Is, sir."
"Then call down, nnd havo him send
White on deck Immediately; and pass the
word forward to havo Sir. Olson come'here
"Aye, aye. sir ; Is there anything wrone'"
"I will explain presently ; Just now I want
you to remain In charge of the deck."
Olson arrived first, nnd I barely had
time to tell him briefly what had occurred
when White emerged through the deck
opening and reported, his eye blinking In
tho bright light, and his face grimy with
coal.
You wanted me sir'" he asked, wjth too
bluster In the gruff volca.
