pretty and has very good tasto In the
matter of dress, so she Is a continual dc
light to tho eye, you may be sure
She was tho originator, you remember
of the vaudeville performance which was
given last month In tho Llttlo Theatre
for charity and which was really awfully
good Most of the pretty debs "to bo"
and "that were" took part, and Rllrabcth
Dallas danced and Uytendalo Dalrd Cnner
aaslsted by ono or two othor girls, gave a
phort ono act play. It was a great sue
cess and netted the home for which It
was given quite a considerable llttlo sum
"Well, slnco war has been declared, the
announcement was made of Lllnnor'a en
gagement to young Sharp, who Is a West
Pointer. So In tho years to come Phlla

A SECOND entertainment today will be

Something tells mo It will not bo a sleepy
affair. What think you?
I hear that Eugene Slmonln Is expected
homo either today or tomorrow from
France. He sailed more than a week ago
He has been thero since Christmas time
driving tho ambulance which his parents,
Mr and Mrs. Frederick Slmonln, gave
him for a Christmas present, which
strikes me as a decidedly fine thing for
them to have done. Certainly a high typo
of gift, don't you think? He will be homo
for a short time only on a furlough, I
understand, and undoubtedly It will bo
mighty thrilling to hear his experiences
fo near tho trenches. Mrs. Slmonln has
gone to New York to meet him, and per
haps before ho returns wo will have an
opportunity to hear of some of his won
derful accounts of llfo while in France.
The thing Is, moit of our joung men are
so modest one scarcely knows they h,ie
even been across, and we Just happen
upon tho news of It through borne near
friends of the family ur some other un
expected way.

Carrlngton hero suspects that the owner -r
this ship has tost his mind I just found

"Dubois, sir?"
"Yea; he had been stabbed In tho back
"And you believe the owner did If'
"Thero is no ono else on board who could
He Is looked In his stateroom, nnd we've
got to get him out Como on now, both of
ou "
I led the way down tho stairs In no
p'casant framo of mind I had no relish for
tho Job, but was determined to seo It
thoroughly done An Insane man running
free aboard, animated by a deslro to kill
added to my other responsibilities, increased
our dangers mnnlfold The cnliln seemed
ro dnik after the brightness of tho deck
above, that 1 grasped tho stair rail and
advanced nlmost blindly 1 had reached
the center of tho cabin before my eves dis
cerned thnt there were two bodies out
stretched on the deck Instead of one I In
voluntarily shrank back, gilpplng the sleevo
of Whites shirt, nnd pointing
"Good God; look here' thero are two
bodies, he ho hns got Dade also"
Tho sailor sprang pist me, nnd dropped to
his knees
"Ae, It's Dado, nnd tho poor cuss Is
done for sir It s another knife thrust In
tho back "
"And no longer any doubt who did It,"
echoed Olson, "for there's not another man
aboard been nft "
"tight vou ate," I said, gripping mvself
rendy to net 'And wo must get htm at
once Come on both of vou. If theie's a
tight It mav take tho threo of us Ilo has
a knife, nnd thero was a gun in his
drawer"
Tho door of Raseom's stateroom was
closed, and I grasped tho knob with no
thought that It would leld to mv fingeis
Hut It did, nnd 1 nlmost fell forward Into
tho room, catching mvself nnd staring
about The others crowded through after me.
tliplr pjes searching every nook and turner
Tho last gleam of tho sun streamed In
through tho stern ports, nnd eviry object
within was clearlv revealed at a glance
The mat wns not there I drew back the
iiirtalns concealing tho bath, but the spaic
waH pmptv onl one of the mund ports
vina pirti.illy open, the nperture fat too
small to admit the passago of a body The
bed had not been slept In, and was ueitlv
made, ono drawer of tho desk stood open
and papers were scattered on the rug be
neath, a chair was overturned on the deck,
a chest In ono corner had been rummaged.
Its contents Hung aside Mv ejes fell on
White, his mouth open. Ills faco grotesque
In Its coating of coal dust
"Damned if ho ain't got nway. sir" ho
blurted out, "but ho never went overborn d
through that port a cat couldn't h i' done
it"
"No, he's aboard all right," I coincided
Hut vvhero? nnd for what purpose' There
Is no knowing what a man in his state of
mind may do Good Heavens! be could
wreck tho ship "
"Moro likely he's liuntln" for MLCnnn,
sir," Insisted Olson 'Tho lady said that
wus what ho went crazy over"
"Hut McCann is on detk. nnd Ilaseom
never camo out of tho cabin; he's either
hiding In ono of theso staterooms, or ho
has gone forward amidships through the
passage Get a light White tako tho labln
lantern OImiii and I will have a look be
hind theso doors first, and then we'll cx
ploro between decks"
Wo found nothing, not the slightest trace
of the fugitive Itejnnd doubt ho had gone
torwnrd, either sicking to escape, or with
the thought that he could attain tho deck
through somo opening nmldshlps I was
tool enough bv now to realize the peril we
faced between decks, searching for tho
madman whom wo might encounter at any
moment .
"Run on dei k. White " I ordered, "and
pkk up a niuplu "f inarlln spikes I have
a revolver Toll Mr Leavord tho situation
and have him keep his eves open Better
havo him nam McCann and MIks Car
rlngton had best remain near tho wheel
until we get our hands on this fellow Hurry
hack now "
Olson and I remained motionless our
eyes on tho black opening lending forwnrd.
the dim rajs of tho lantern falling on the
ghastly faccB of the two dead men out
stretched on the deck It was a gruesome
spot, nnd my heart was beating like a trip
hammer 1 made wire my revolver was
loaded dropping the weapon Into a Jacket
pocket White rejoined us, grasping tho
spikes, ono of which ho pissed over to
Olson, who tested the weight In his hand
'Quiet as a June inornln up there, sir,"
he unnounced, squinting about "There
ain't nobodj seen nuthln' of n maniac I
rockon jer better let Olson carry the lan
tern so you and I can be sorter freo to
grip the chap; vvo're bigger than tho mate "
"From what I've seen of Olson he'll do
his sharo of tho lighting." I answered
knowing tho Swede to be hot-tempered and
touchy about his size "However, ono will
havo to carry It "
"Ifs all right, sir," said Olson quietly
"I'll hold the glim, but If that big duffer
doesn't stand up to the Job I'll bust glass
an' all over his head "
We certainly made a thorough search
of It I doubt If a stray rat got by us
without being seen, but from the after-cabin
to the engine-room ladder wo found no trace
of Bascom, no indication even that ho had
ever passed that way Beginning with the
steward's pntitry. we explored every nook
and corner, flashing the light of the lantern
Into bunks and behind sea chests; clamber
ing over boxes and barrels in the storeroom ;
even lifting the Iron cover of the lazarette,
and prowling about among the various ar
ticles stored below
The effort to locate liascom's hiding
place was absolutely vain the cunning of
the madman overcame our diligence and
wit, he had disappeared as though swal
low id by the sea, leaving not so much as
a clue behind.
Tinvnnd the hole leading to the engine
room below our advances were blocked by
A MAYPOLE DANCE
Onpiiiffht, I,lfp PuMlahlnn Onmpmy Itrprlntrrl by pc!ii Arrnncemnt
a steel bulkbean, watertight, pierced by a
single door to bo sure, but this wns closed
I and locked securely To tho best of my
knowlidge this door had never been opened
slnco the ship left Baltimore, and Its
mechanism had probably been operated
J fiom the demolished bridge I could con-
ceivo or no wnj in which the crazed man
could havo proceeded further forward Prom
this point clear to the ton peak tho cargo
had been loaded almost chock with tho
main deck and tho hatches had not been
lifted for a week. Indeed, thej wero bat
tened down nnd It was likelj tho nlr was
foul enough bv this time to stranglo any
human being
"Is theto any communication between tho
forecastle nnd the hold White? I asked,
Blaring helplessly nt the steel barrier
"No. sir, tho fo'castlo Is all above deck "
"How was tins door mnnlpulatid? Do
olther of j ou know ? '
"Well I bad charge o' loadln' the nfter
hold, sir ' and Olson scratched bis bend
trjlng to temember 'Tint door never was
opeiiid but once when Cnptalr Hadlej
tested It befoto wo left Baltimore, or mav he
aftir wo got out in the Chesapeake I think
It wuz opened an shut from the bridge, Mi
Hollls "
"That Is the usual arrangement, but
thete is a slot hero for ii key; still, tho
door Is steel, nnd It looks too heavy for any
ono man to operate "
I leaned over and looked down Into the
lighted engine room at the bottom of the
shaft All I could seo was a gnat wheel
stcadllj turning
Tho englnier stepped Into view and
peerod up into tho darkness; ho appeared
burly and shapeless
That jou. Captain?"
' cs Bnscoin, tho owner, lias gone crazy
nnd lias hidden himself somewhere on
ho ml '
Well, I'll bo damned' Can't vou find
him?"
"Not jet; we've searched every plnco aft
lio basil t visited jou?"
"Not to my knowledge Tony is back
In tho Hrernom, J 11 nsk him "
Tho three of'us clung to tho ladder gaz
ing down. the. light from the lantern re
vealing our fueiH. Masters was not gone
a moment, but Ids voice had changed
"I'oiij'b klllul sir." ho called in, rxciimiiv
"He's ljlng on tho ion! In 'o 1 bunker, cut
in tho back with n knife "
The words were not out of Ids mouth be
fore wo vuro scrambling down But our
h.isto gained us nothing Tho only trail
Bascom had left was tho dead Italian
Mirtched out In the half-emptied coal
bunker, his lips closed forever It was a
knife 'thrust whlih had killed him Just
such a thrust as had done for Ills two mates
in the tahln above, but tho madman had
dlsippeared
However, here was proof posltlvo that the
fellow was still on board, still hiding be
tween dicks Ho had not reached the open,
ur Hung himself Into tho sea Surely with
in tho narrow lonllnes of the ship we could
urn him down Yet tho situation was baf
fling enough Mnsters lould tell us noth
ing, he had luntd no sound, seen no
shadow Ho had been oiling tho machlnerj,
mid a innn could havo slipped down the
1 idder unobserved nnd escaped ngaln' In
tho samo waj Thero was no other en
tranio to tho englno room, tho forward
bulkhead was solid, thero were two venti
lator shafts, hut neither was large enough
fur tho p.assago of a man's body, and tho
coalchuto was kept closed nnd Iockid at
sen Nevertheless I hud theso examlnid
determined to tnke no chances, nnd our
lantern penetrated every inch of the engine
room and coal bunkers At tho end, ut
terlj dallied, White g.avo vent to nn oath
"It bents me sir," he confessed hnaisely
"unless Its a spook wero a-huntln' for"
"I wish It was, tho trouble Is It Is a
man, and a mighty dangerous one Well,
Iio'h not down here, nnd ho must havo
gone back by way of the ladder Tho fil
low has either found some means of get
ting Into the hold, or else he's managed
to slip on dick and perhaps Is hidden In
tho forecastle no one messes there now '"
"No, sir."
"Then let's have a look up above; come
on. men "
"Yer nln't goln" ter leave mo down hero

MahterH an'xlouslj-, "with Tony ljln" dead

"He'll not bo down here ngaln, but 1
