THE MUpSRESS of theflM^Atine. j t A V.omiri £ J&l Intervene*. | (CopyriguL iSgs t> Roterl ttarr 1 CHAPTER TX. > Most of the passengers awoke next I morning with a bewildering feeling of vague apprehension. The absence of all motion in the ship, the unusual and in tense silence, had a depressing effect. The engines had not yet started; t hat at least was evident. Kenyon vxas one of • tlie first on deck. lie noticed that the ; pumps were still working at their full speed, and that the steamer had still the ominous list to port. Ilappily the weather continued good, so fur as the quietness of the sea \\a.s concerned. A slight drizzle of rain had set in. and [ the horizon was not rnauy miles from the ship. There would not be much chance of sighting another liner while such weather continued. Before Kenyon had In-en many min- I utes on deck Kdith Loug\\ • rth came up , the companionway. Si,e approached him witb n «mile on her face. "Well," he said, "yon. at least, do not : seem to lie suffering any anxiety be cause of our situation." "Really." she rep! Ed, "I was not ! ! thinking of that at all. but about some thing else. Can you not guess what , I it is?" "Xo," he answered, hesitatingly, j "What is it?" "Have you forgotten that this is Sun- ' day morning?" "Is it? Of course it is. So far as I i am concerned, time in I tof top when | the engines broke down. But Ido not ! ; understand wh.v Sunday means any thing in j articnlar." | "Don't you? Well, for a person who , ha 3 1<- n thinking for the last two or I three days very earnestly on one pari ic ; ular subject, I am astonished at you. Sunday morning, at.d no land in sight! Reflect for a moment." Kenyon's face brpht-ened. "Ah," he cried, "I sec what you rm-an ' now. Miss Brewster's cable message will not appear in this morning's New I York Argus." "Of course it will not: and don't you see, also, that when we do arrive you will have an equal chance in the race. If we get in before next Sunday, your telegram to the London people will go as quickly as her cable dispatches to New York; thus you will be saved the humiliation of seeing the substance of your report in the London papers be fore the directors see the report itself. It is not much, to be sure, but still it puts you on equal terms, while if we had got into Queenstown last night that would have been impossible." Kenyon laughed. "Well," he said, "for such a result the cause is rather tremendous, isn't it? It is something like burning down the house to roast the pig!" Shortly after ten o'clock the atmos phere cleared and showed in the dis tance a steamer, westward bound. It evidently belonged to one of the great ocean lines. The moment it was sight ed there fluttered up in the masthead a number of signal flags, and people . crowded to the side of the ship to watch I the effect, on the outgoing vessel. Min i ute after minute passed, but there was ; no response from the other liner. Peo- J jnr- Trntvnrtx irtri mm TFRMIILIURA OllA iety, as though their fate depended on their noticing their signals. Of course, everybody thought that she must see them, but still she steamed westward. A cloud of black smoke came out of her funnel and then a long, dark trail, like the tail of a comrf, floated out behind her, but no notice was taken of the tering flags at the mast head. For more than an hour the steamer was in sight; then she gradually faded away into the west, and finally disappeared. This incident had a very depressing effect, on the pasaengers of the disabled . ship. Although every officer had main- \ tained there was no danger, yet the floating away of that steamer aeemed ' somehow to leave them alone, and peo- j I le, aftrr razing toward the west, until not. a ve tige of her remained in the hor izon, went back to their deck chairs, j j feeling more despondent than ever. Fleming, however, i/laimed that if : people were to drown, it was just as i ; well to drown jolly as mournful, and ; so he invited everybody to take a drink at his expense; a generous offer, which . till the habitues of the smoking-room took advantage of. | "My idea is this," said Fleming, as he • , si rijx-il the cocktail which was brought . !to him; "if anything happens let it ! happent if nothing happens, why then j let nothing happen. There is no use 1 ■worrying about anything, especially j ! something we cannot help. Here we | are on the ocean in a disabled vessel; j very good; we cannot do anything I about it, and, so long as the bar remains | open, gentlemen, here's toyout" And with this cheerful philosophy the New York politician swallowed j down the liquor he had paid for. Still the swish of water from the pumps could be heard, but the metallic i clanking of steel on steel no longer j came up from the engine room. This I in itself was ominous to those who knew. It showed that the engineer had given up all hope of repairing the dam- I age, whatever it was, and the real cause | of the disaster was as much a mystery j as ever. Shortly before lunch it be- j I came evident to the ]>copleon board the | i ship that something was about to bo ! done. The sailors undid the fasten- I ings of one of the large boats, and swung it out on the davits until it hung over the sea. Gradually rumor took form, and it became known that one of the officers and some of the crew were about to j make an attempt to reach the coast of ' Ireland and telegraph to Queenstown for tugs to bring the steamer in. The j captain still maintained that there was no danger whatever, aud it was only to prevent delay that this expedient was about to be tried. "Do you know what they are going to do?" cried Edith Longworth, in a state of great excitement, to John Ken yon. Kenyon had been walking the ih-efc with Wentworth, who now had gone below. "1 have heard," said Kenyon," "that j they intend trying to reach the coast." "Exactly. Now, why should yon not send a telegram to 3-011 r people In Lon- ' don, and have the repr rts forwarded at once? The chances arc that Mis-* Brewster will never think of sending her cablegram with the officer who is poing to make the trip: then you will be 11 clear day or two ahead of her, and everything will be all right. In fact, when she understands what has been done, she probably will not send her message at all." "By George!" cried Kenyon. "that is a good idea. I will see the mate at Once and find out whether he will take the telegram." He went accordingly and spoke to the mate about •ending a message with him. The oilicer said that any passen ger who wished to 1 end a telegraphic message would be ut liberty to do so. lie would take charge of the telegrams very gladly. Kenyon went down to his stateroom and told Wentworth what was going 1 to be done. For the first time in days George Wentworth exhibited something line nergy. tie went to the steward and l»ought the stamps to put on the telegram while John Kenyon wrote it. The message was given to the man. who put it into hip inside pocl:et, and then Kenyon thought all was safe, but Miss Longworth was not so sure of that. Jenuie Brewster sat in her deck chair, calmly reading her usual puper covereU novel. She apparently knew nothing of what was going on, and Edith Longworth, nervous with sup pressed excitement, sat near her watching her narrowly while prepara tions for launching the boat were being completed. Suddenly, to her horror, the deck steward appeared, and in a loud voice cried: "Ladies and gentle men, anyone wishing to send telegrajns to friends have a few minutes now to write them. The mate will take them ashore with him, and will send them from the first office that he reaches. No letters can be taken, only tele grams." Miss Brewster looked up languidly from her book during the first part of this recital. Then she sprang sudden -1 v to her feet and threw the book on the deck. "Who is it that will take the tele grams?" she asked the steward. "The mate, miss. There he is stand ing yonder, miss." She made her way quickly to that official. "Will you take a cable dispatch to be sent to New York ?" "Yes, miss. Is it a long one?" he asked. "Yes, it is a very long one." "Well, miss," was the answer, "you haven't much time to write it. We leave now in a few minutes." "It is all written out; I have oniy to add a few words to it." Miss Brewster at once flew to her stateroom. The telegram about the mine was soon be fore lier with the? words counted, and the silver and gold tljat were to pay for it piled on the table. She resolved to run no risk of delay by having tlv; message sent "to collect.." Then she ilasht*! off, us quickly as she could, a brief and very graphic account of th»> disaster which had overtaken the Caloric. If this account was slightly exaggerated, Miss Browwster bad no time to tone it down. Picturesque and dramatic description was what she aimed at.. Ilex pen ficw over the paper with great rapiditj, und she looked up every now and then, through her state room window, to see dangh».;r from the ropes the boat that was to make the at tempt to reach the Irish eoa-st. As she could thus see how the preparations for the departure were going forward, she lingered longer than she might other wise have done, and added line after line to the. dispatch which told of the dis aster. At last she saw the men take their places in the long boat. She hurriedly counted the words in the new dispatch she hail written, and quickly frcm her purse piled the gold that was necessary to pay for their transmission. Then she sealed the two dispatches in an envelope, put. the two piles of goid into one. after rap'dly counting them again, cast a quick look up at the still % jf 1 "Stand I lute no time to talk with you." mot ienli ■ s i»o:it, grasp - I the gold in one hand, the envelope in the other, an.l sprang to her feet, but tis she did so she gave a shriek und took a step back- WII rd. Standing with her back to the door v. a Kdith Longworth. When she -had 1 i i' I'd the lateroom Miss Brews ter did not know, but her heart beat wildly H' she saw the girl standing silently there, as if she had risen up through the floor. "\\ at are you doing here?" she. de nial. d"d. "I am here," said Miss Ijongworth, "because I wish to talk with you." "Stand aside; 1 have no time to talk with you just now. I told I didn't H(Bl to '■ yon again. Stand tv-side, I tell you." "1 shall not stand aside." "What do you mean?" J 'l mean that I shall not stand aside." "Then I shall ring the bell nnd have you thrust, out of here for your impu dence." "Yoti shall not ring the hell," said Kdith calmly, putting her hand over the white china arrangement that held in its center the black electric button. "Do you mean to tell me that you in tend to keep me from leaving my own stateroom ?" "1 mean to tell you exactly that.." "Do you know that you can lie im prisoned for attempting such a thing?" "I don't enre." "Stand aside, you vixen, or I will strike you." "Do it." For u moment the two girls stood there, the one flushed and excited, the other apparently calm, with her back against the door and her hand over tho electric button. A glance 1.1 rough the window showed Miss Brewster that the mato had got into the boat, and that they were steadily lowering away. "Let me pass, you—you wretch!" "All in good time," replied Editih Longworth. whose gaze was also upon the boat swinging 111 midair.

On the crest of a wave. 500 yards away from the vessel, she saw the boat for a moment appear, showing tbe white glitter of her six dripping oars; then it vanished down the other side of the wave into the trough of the sea.

I have been asked whether I ever re ceive social invitations from million aires in open envelopes, with halfpen ny stamps, and what I think of the practice on the part of the millionaires, says London Truth. It is notoften that I am privileged to receive Invitations from millionaire* tinder any circum stances, hut it ie a remarkable fact that I have had such an Invitation addressed to me at tbe halfpenny rate of postage, and as others have had a similar ex perience I suppose that millionaires as a class have a weakness for halfpenny postage stamps. Probably this weak ness has something to do with their having become or remained million aires. A worse falling on the part of mil lionaires of which I have expedience la that they occasionally ask their friends to dinner and sit them down to a meal quite unfit to eat. Personally, I would rather that a man took a halfpenny off the postage of my Invitation and spent it on the dinner.

AMKJTiDMTC How the Crawford County Boss Gets Into the Game. THE FIRM CHAMPION OF PENROSE lllto of Historical Fact Which Show the Alliance Between the Two Politician*. Andrews and Hi* Chain and the Scheme They Are Working. PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 15. The Hon. Boies Penrose says he is "against the bosses" and "for the people." He says it boldly and defiantly, and If the cam paign were not so serious there might be time to stop and laugh at the joke. But he doesn't mean it to be funny. He wants lr to lie taken seriously, for he recognizes that the people will insist upon the elec tion of their own candidate to the United States senate That's why he wants to make it believed that he has thrown off the shackles of the boss after his long ser vitude That's why ho would like to make It believed that he has suddenly been con verted to their interests as against the in terests of the bosses But will the people believe it? Xot much. They are too well posted to be deceived by any such nonsense. it h-is often been nsbad whom does Penrose represent? Who Is this dillitente young senator, this political stripling, who is being urged for the high honor of a seat, in the senate of the United States? Whom does he represent, that he should receive the greatest gift In the power of the state to award? The answer is easy—Andrews, the dis credited Crawford county boss, who was responsible for Delamater's nomination In 1890. • Andrew* and Penrose. Andrews and Penrose were classed as the joint bosses of the state senate. They are Damon and Pythias in a political sense. They make their interests identical. It was Penrose who moved for tho appointment of the committee to "Lexow" Philadel phia. It was Andrews who was made chairman of that comiuittoe. Shades of Dickens was there ever such a farca? An drews at tho head of the investigating committee! One would as soon think of the devil passing judgment on his own sins Events have only confirmed this opinion. There isn't a decent man in the entire city of Philadelphia who will not Ray that the Investigation has been a very thinly dis guised political scheme. It has been the means of providing Andrews with politi cal headquarters at tho most expensive hotel in the city, for all of which the dear pooplo will pay—perhaps. The same head quarters have been utilized as a meeting place for tile Penrose clans, and the state will foot the bills—perhaps. And who Is Andrews, this man who is sponsor for Penrose? Ask the people of Crawford county. They knew him so well that evon in tho great tidal wave for McKlnley In November they defeated the entire Republican ticket, which should have had at least 8,000 majority. Crawford county, whore McKinley at tended school, carried root and branch by the Democrats! and why? Because the people determined to convluce the notor ious politician that they wore done with him. Why Andrews It Discredited. A line champion truly for a senatorial candidate! But this isn't all. It wst An drews who turned the state over to tha Democrats in 1890. Then they called him "Delamator" »Andrews, because he used his office as chairman of the state com mittee to force tho nomination of Delama tor against the judgment of all who had tho Interests of the party at heart. When Andrews was lirst a candidate for the ten ate—lß9o —he was overwhelmingly de feated In 18W! he tried for tho house, and test and ho was seated by- orders of the "bosses." Ho owed his election in 1891 to the Hastings' wave, but this year he was ignominiously defeated in his own county when ho was a candidnte for dele gate to the national convention. Tho vote of Erie county, whore ho was not so well known, pulled him through, but the people of Crawford county stamped tholr opinion Indelibly and administered a still morf stinging rebuke at the national election. llin Work for t'enroae. He Is the original Penrose man. Their Interests are too closely welded to permit of anything else. Penrose Is ashamed to admit it. but that's natural, and he Is shrewd enough to see the danger of suoh an admission: that's why he pretends that he is "against the Ixisses. " For months Andrews has I teen "setting up the state" for Penrose. He commenced by making a contest for the chairman ship of tho state committee, from which contest he retired when there was a threat of making his record public. He wanted that office to bo the better able to attend to his labors In Itehalf of Penrose. Not tho backer of Boies Penrose? Why then those nightly conferences in the palatial parlors In the city's most expensive hotel? Without Aiulrows there would be no Pen rose. His brother, W. H. Andrews, who has been his trusted assistant In many schemes, Is tho chiof literary worker In the Penrose cause, using the rooms of the state committee in his labor. A line candidate of tho people, truly, Is the Hon. Holes Penrose. It would lie fat more manly to admit the truth, especially when It Is made manifest by unim|ieach ablo evidence on all sides. Boies Penrose is the candidate of Andrews. His success is necessary to the latter's success, for people and he knows It. Against the bosses, Indeed! Well, It will not go down. This Is one of tho times when they can't fool oven some of tho people. JUDGE EWING'S HUMOR. Ilia Keen and Effective Thrust at the 41 One Man" I'otltlewt Power.

But it should not be. He should be dealt with kindly. It Is per haps his strongest claim to distinction, and therefore such comments as the fol lowing from the Pottsville Republican will l)o read with genuine sorrow: "Tho papers which are vociferating so lustily for Boies Penrose as a successor to Senator Cameron, on the strength oX hil blue blood and nobility of ancestry, for get to give their readers the 'coat of arms' of the 'royal family." Trot It out, an 4 let us see what it looks like.

A plain American citizen who has carved out his own for tune and fume in life Is good enough for the plain pooplo of Pennsylvania to repre sent them in any office or in any senate." This latter reference Is to John Wana* maker. Ho Is only tho son of a brick maker, and ho commenced life without a dollar, without an illustrious ancestor and without blue blood. He waa a plain, every day man, just as he is today. But he had pluck and he had bralna. He Is, pre-eminently, a self-made man.
