ern horizon were three trails of black
smoke, apparently coming toward
them.
The word was whispered from one
to the other: "It is the tugboat. 1t is
relief"
Few people on board the steamer
knew that their very existence de-
pended entirely on the good weather.
The incessant pumping showed every
body who gave thought to the matter
that the leak had been serious, but as
the subsidence of the vessel was i'm

were to see these three boats approach.
the one who most rejoiced was the one
who knew most about the disaster and
its effects-the captain.
Edith Longworth and John Kenyon
paced the deck together, and did not
form two of the crowd who could not
tear themselves away from the front
OF the ship watching the gradually ap-
proaching tugboats. Purposely John
Kenyon brought the girl who was with
linn past Miss Jennie Brewster, and al
though that person glared with a good
deal of anger at Edith, who blushed to
her temples with fear and confusion,
yet nothing was said; and Kenyon
knew that afterward his companion
would feel easier in her mind about
meeting the woman with whom she had
had such a stormy five minutes. The
tugboats speedily took the big steam

having been resolved to land all the pas
sengers there and to allow the disabled
vessel to be towed to Liverpool, IL an
examination Of the hull showed such n
course to be q safe one. The passen-

left the tender, and many that were

With IL was worn a cream -colored
broadcloth jacket, very natty and styl-
ish, with strapped seams and huge gil
got sleeves 1t fitted the figure snugly
and was short and full about the hips.
A sealskin collarette with a very
high standing collar was worn about
the shoulders, and a large sealskin
muff was carried in the woman's white
gloved hands.
The hat was an unusual looking al
fair smothered in great rosettes of va
rious colored velvets; one was of deer

der and another of rich prune color;
they were crowded together into a bril-

iridescent wings and a tall. thick
aigrette of black satin ribbon.

GOULD'S POLITICAL AMBITIONS.
New Jersey may become responsible
for a. totally new aspect of the Gould
family. 1t has already been intimated
in certain quarters that George Gould
had become politically ambitious, but
now there is practically no doubt that
he wants to enter the United states
senate. To this end, he has established
a residence in New Jersey and even
helped form a political club, although
he modestly disclaims any interested
motive. How this will end is an INF
solvable problem. Mr.. Gould has re-
ceived many jocular intimations from
political magnates on the folly of his
course. He has been warned that the
skull and crossbones is the political
emblem of politics in New Jersey, and
that the legislature thereof feeds on
skulls. Mr.. Frelinghuysen employed
this sgure OF speech on q memorable
occasion, and there seems no doubt
of it's applicability still. However, Mr..

be found when the convention assem-
bles, that Mr.. Plat will be in charge OF
the Morton forces and authorized to
make deals in the governors name.
The general belief in New York that
Mr. Morton will get the nomination is
so strong that the governor is already
beginning to be embarrassed with APP
peals for patronage and support in all
sorts of ways. Mr.. Morton's friends
aver that he would carry New York in
any event, and he himself is known to
share the belief.
THE ANGRY DUCHESS.
w. K. Vanderbilt has made himself
30 unpopular in England owing to his
stand on the Venezuelan business, that
even his daughter, the Duchess Of
Marlborough, has become somewhat
frigid towards him. The duke is al
legged to have forbidden the duchess to
have anything to do with Mr.. Wander
bilt. The Saturday Review has pitch
