"A very nice young lady" replied the

'She is all that" said Silva. but she
also happens to be the richest woman In
Chile. Her father owned mines innumer-
able. and when he came by his end In our
last revolution, he left every dollar he had
at Donna Ciotflde's entire disposal BY
some unfortunate oversight personal fear
has oeen LETT out Of her composition and
she seems anxious to add 1t to the list of
her requirements"
Capt. Kettle puckered his brows. II don't
seem to understand you," he said.
Il say this" Silva murmured, because
there seems no other way to explain the
keenness with which she hunts after per-
sonal danger. At present she is intriguing
against President Quijarra's government.
live all know that Quijarra Is a brigand,
just as his predecessor was before him. The
man who succeeds him in the presidency of
Chile Will be brigand also 1t is the Gus
Tom tom OF my country But interfering with

Miss La Touche may shortly be seeing

Obsolete Nautical Terms.
.nnn the NaW Xnelr Sun

THE introduction of steam was a DEATH
blow to many nautical terms that are dear
to the readers Of sea stories." said a naval
officer yesterday. Nautical terms are
dangerous things for landsmen to use, any,
way. For instance, the marlinspike is now
almost thing of the past. OF what use
is 1t on some of the modern fighting ships?
have just put in requisition for dozen
monkey wrenches instead of marlinspikes
Monkey wrenches are not nearly SO pic
turesque in fiction, but they are much more
useful aboard ship now. I remember an
effort that the Rev. DIR. Talmage made
some years ago in sermon preached
aboard ship to show his familiarity with
nautical terms. He described the ship of
life sailing through a troubled sea. The
tars listened patiently to hear what was
going to happen to this ship She sails
along twelve knots an hour continued DR..
Talmage, and suddenly there is a cry.
Man overheard" The captain ordered the
life line of hope thrown overheard The
sinking man grabs 1t and he is pulled on
board, saved" There were looks of protest
from every member of the crew at this
statement, and finally one old salt arose
and said: No, he wasn't, not IL the ship
was going twelve knots an hour, sir. He
couldn't have grabbed the life line, sir. He
couldn't possibly. Reef sail on your ship
of life and then that yarn will do to tell
his sermon to a close. The nautical lit
erature Of the future will be very different
from that Of the past. and men who pro-
pose nowadays to use sea terms should get
them first hand and not from yellow
backed novels"

but I guess I fingered him enough in three
minutes to stop his dancing for another
month. He swore by ali the saints ne was
innocent. and that he w.s only the tool
But he deserved what he got for being in
such shady employment"
Still that didn't procure you another
shipT'
"Hammering the agent couldn't make
him do an imposslbility. sir. There wasn't
such q vessel as I wanted In all the ports
Of Peru. So just took this nosegay that
put out rast San Lorenzo island. and got
to sea. It's bit Of q comedown, sir, for
steamer-sailor like me-" the little man
added with sigh. ito put an old wind
jammer through her gymnastics again. l
thought I'd done with 'mainsail haul and
rawhide chafng gear. and all the white
wings nonsense for good and always"
But. captain. what did you come out
for? What earthly good can you do with
an old wreck like tfis?'
''Wny. sir. shall carry out what was
arranged with Miss La Touched shall come
up with one Of President Quijarra's gov
ernment vessels, capture her and theI
start in to collar the rest. There's no
alteration in the program. It's Only made

go near her in this clumsy little bark would
be to make yourself a laughing stock Why.
your English Cochrane wouldn't have done
it."
II know nothing about Lord Cochrane,
Mr.. Silva. He was dead before my time.
But whatever people may have done to
him. ! can tell any one who cares to hear,
that the man who's talking to you now is a
bit Of an awkward handful to laugh at.

the Columbian University by the students

best of the portrait busts that the talented

suggestion of a twinkle In his eyes which
indicates the keen sense of humor ready to
