SENATOR BUTLER AND HIS
PASSES.
Wilmington Starr

The other day, in remarking in connec-
ton with some interroga i've surprise eX-
pressed by the Chatham Record on the
failure of the Caucasian to r-ticise Gov
ernor Russell's reasons for accepting
passes from the railroads, we didn't shoot
very wide Of the bulls eye when we
said the reason probably was that Sena-
tor Butler had Il pocketful of passes
himself. And he has, and he also has
the monumental cheek to score the rail-
roads for issuing passes, and to criticSe
others for accepting and travelling on
them. But it isn't Senator Butler who
carries the pocketful Of passes; it is
Editor Butler. When he wants to travel
he pulls off his Senatorial coat as it
were, and puts on che editorial coat,
which contains the pocketful Of passes.
This is quite a nice and convenient ar
rangement, and let's Mr.. Butler down on
a somewhat more business-likc, if not
less ridiculous way than the "they-all-
do-it' excuse Of our distinguished Gov
erE0r. But is it as editor or Senator
that Mr.. Butler whacks n the railroads
for giving passes? The presumption is
that when he enters the sanctum he di-
vests himself of his Senatorial tOga, and
also takes OIL the coat that contains the
pocketful of passes and slashes away at
the naughty railroads for attempting to
corrupt people by bribing them with
pasteboard favors good for dead-head
rides. BUT when he travels he goes in
his dual character as editor and Senator.
But this is all too thin. 1t is a sub
terfuge no more creditable to Mr.. Butler
than the Governors immoral and rid.cul-
Gus plea was to him, nor so much, Tor
that had in it n dev l-may-care indiffcr-
ence to the proprieties that challenged
admiration for its very audacity. II
may lie incidentally remarked that of all
the Governors and the Senator's CON
freres who have been accused OF ac-
cepting free passes, there isn't one of
them that has not tried TO sneak out or
ii on the pretence that the passes were
given to them not because of the official
positions they hold but for some other
trumpcd-up reason, by which they VIII p
the devil around the stump and try to
eYade the responsibility of being virtual
ly violators of the law.

had already jumped from between The
decks and was swimming with steady
easy strokes to the aid of the impuIsivs
girl. Others were lowering a boat, and
the captain, at last in accord with the
passengers, had the engines reversed
Jacks father was astounded at the
turn of affairs.
aDid you eve dream Of such a foolish
nct?s he exclaimed. ssThe child actually
took up my words and leaped overheard
to a " the dog"
So impressed was he with the noble
folly of the girl that, had it not been
for Jack. he would certainly have made
one Of the boats crew. But Towle fore
stalled him. Yet, after all, the girl did
not appear to need much help. When
she rose after her plunge into the water
sh turned her face toward the dog and
struck out as If she had been a veritable
waier nymph. The sailor was soon
close behind her.
Don't tire yourself out, miss he
cried. aLie on your back and float.
They'll soon pick us all up now"
f:ut the girl swan or Her bath had
completely dispelled the momentary
frenzy of excitement that had impelled
her TO jump. She felt nothing but cha
grin now She did not want to look any
BODY in the face, and there was not only
the sailor close behind, but a boat load
of others were coming. She wished that
she dared to go on with the part and
dive down to the bottom of the sea.
The sailors breathing sounded aw-
fully near and the click of the oar
locks told how near the boat was also.
Even Max, who now was hardly able to
swim a stroke, and who seemed to rec.
ognize in all this excitement something
which might accrue to his benefit,
seemed to her to be laughing at her
predicament. She was beginning to
think she had better drown herself
than to face all the modification that
seemed to threaten, when she suddenly
stopped swimming and disappeared.
The sailor reached the spot where the
girl had gone down just IN time to see
her black hair cleaning at the surface
again. Placing one arm under her body,
he supported it as best he might until
the boat came up. Towle was in the
bow, terribly frightened to see the girl
lying 81 still IN the water.
SIS she dead?" he asked, in a hoarse
whisper.
"oh, no." said some one. "She1l soon

against her lower lip, and the big, brown
eyes were beginning to FILL.
The only apparently u~ninterested per
on on the boat was the captain. The
awning had not yet been spread over the
deck, and he could plainly be seen stand
ing in the pilot house. Towle turned
toward him and called out: .Isay, cap
tain, can't you slow down, and let my
dog come up with us? He won't PC
back, and I'm afraid he can't hold out
much longer"
The captain turned from the wheel
for a moment, and glanced lazily toward
the dog bravely padding away for his
life.
"oh, hen get along well enough. Hell
soon give up and go back. Ican't stop
for a dog"
Murmurs of indignation were heard
on every hand. Jacks face bore a look
OF the most complete surprise at the
discovery that the captain could pos
sibly refuse to stop for Maxss sake. The
sympathetic tears in Priscilla's eyes
turned to ghttering evidences OF deep
indignation, Is she stamped her foot,
and seemed about to speak. But TowIe's
words came first:
II don't ask you to stop for the sake
of the dog" said he to the captain. .Tn
make it well worth your while to slow
down a bit"
Yes, indeed" chimed in a young fell
low who had been growing particular
ly interested in the situation. s.Be-
Sides he went on, raising his voice so
that the captain could not fail to hear,
cit makes no difference except to your
passengers if we get in a few minutes
late, and if we don't care, why should
you?"
That's what's the matteri" came
from the little crowd that was
now facing the pilot house. This up
rising of the whole ships company was
more than the captain could quietly en-
dure.
Leaving the wheel to his mate, he
out on the hurricane deck, and,
looking down upon the passengers, his
hands in his pockets and determination
in his eye, blurted out:
"You may as well understand me now
as ever. I am captain of this boat, and
1 know how to run her. I've no time to

stop for dogs, and l won't stop, and
you can make the most of itin
The girl, looking prettier than ever,
stood erect as an arrow, her hands
clutching the folds of her blue flannel
yachting dress, every nerve tingling
with indignation. The captain retired
amid a chorus of groans and misses.
All eyes turned again toward the
water. Max was evidently becoming ex-
hausted; the pace was telling on him.
His red tongue now and again showed
clear against the background of his
black head as he gulped in the air, and
once Jack thought he heard a faint
yelp. The father had all he could do to
restrain the boys excitement.
Towle was so angry that he could
scarcely speak. He hardly dared look
toward Max. He could almost fancy
the look of mingled questions and re-
proach that must be in the dogs eyes.
"What does it all mean? Why must 1
swim so far? I thought you wanted me
to come to you. l am doing my best"
Eyes, poor fellow said Towle, as if
in answer to these unspoken queries, .if
you were a man now, instead of a dog,
that brute of a captain might deign to
lose a moment or SO OF his valuable
time"
"Tm not so sure Of that" remarked
the young man, who had participated in
the vain effort to persuade the captain.
There's very little Of the milk Of hu-
man kindness in that fellow. 1 fancy.
Possibly" said Jacks father; .'but
the law would bring him to terms in
such a case. He'd stop quick enough
If there wal a man overheard"
Scarcely were the words spoken be-
fore they were echoed back from the
lower deck.
sMan overboardin WINS the cry In
deed.
So suddenly Il came that It almost
seemed like a trick to bring the captain
TO terms. In the confusion of the mo-
ment the reality appeared strangely un-
real. Even little Jack was at first
scarcely able to understand, when he
managed to cry out:
ssThere she isl Don't let her drown,
tool"
No one but Jack had noticed how i
something his father said seemed to add
to the excitement Of the pretty girl by
bis side, and in his terror for the fate Of |
poor Max he hardly realized what she
was doing when she put one foot up on
The rail and vauIted orer the side
