Sunny how mad fighting win make

snapped out orders to the boys as they
tumbled on board from the pier where
they had been waiting.
Dave was in a fighting mood. He
felt his boat Juggling to get away, and
he saw the Conqueror wiggling along
behind him as Thorne tried to get wind
ward at the starting line. "Joe," he
ordered quickly, Pm going to gybe up
on the WindwaFd of ThoTne; be ready
with the sheet. You fellows ballast
her now. ALI ready. It's going to be
close sailing all the way" he said to
himself, as one after another the boats
| slid over the line, Conqueror and Fleet
wing side by side
Closer sailing than he thought even.
In spite of the Fleetwing's promising
start and the master hand on her wheel
the lee rail sank under water and the
white sails, swelling like swans

mean so much to win that race. Both
boys felt that more depended on it
than they had thought-whoever won
the cup won something else with it.
AND somehow Dave couldn't help feel
ing that ThOrne would do anything
rather than be defeated. Just see if
ne doesn't do something queer before
this is over" he thought, as they swept
on over the rolling, windy sea. "Just
wait, though, until I set around that
first buoy with the wind behind me.
I've a chance yet and it's changing to
the east already"
Poor Da3e, not a great chance. Even
after they mad started on that long sec
ond leg, where he had trusted to do so
much, luck was against him. The
northeast wind was as fierce as ever,
and still the -Conqueror gained. Dave
would not look at her He stared fierce
ly at the great curving sails above him,
swollen and stiff with wind, the mast
creaking and straining as the little YES

heavy load. Dawes nails were white
with the grip of his hands on the wheel.

I aWhat on earth, Thorne; there's tho
buoy on the port HAND
Thorne nodded 10 the drifting boat,
already circling III the edge of the
whirlpool.
"Get the boat hook, Harley, quick
Ease her off, Bob; there she comes, now
then, that's 1t. There's no hurry, Har-
ley, we can't win. Thank God, we saw
them in time"
Never mind, then, they'll find out
who's won" he added. quietly, as a
long faint shout from the baffied Fleet
wing warned them that their course
was seen.
For as ice eased the sheet to go about
he saw the Conqueror headed home,
but with the pudding stone spindle on
the wrong side, and he said in a puzzled
way: do look at ThoTne, will you;
isn't he inside the mark?"
"By Jove, so he is" shouted Joe an
grily. Call him, boys, let him know
we've seen him cheating"
Never mind, never mind" cried
Dave, wait until we get home, the
cheat. Well settle with him then"
Dawes heart gwelled as he saw the hat
ed black hull, its huge canvas taut, rip
ping through the rnUgh sea as though
it cared not q stroke for honor. Cow
afd!" groGned Dave.
What a long hour that was. "But
the race is mine" said Dave. mine,
mine, minc!" He repeated it over and
over as he heard the far-off clamor Of
whistles and bells and horns when the
Cc0Queror crossed the line.
The angry blood flooded his cheeks
end shook his voice as he touched the
Eier. For even his father ana mother
were there holding Thorne's hands and
laughing ecstatically. And his two lit
tie sisters all wet and tumbled laughing
in his mothers arms. Dave could
hardly wait to touch the dock, but
sprang ashore. "Father mother, do

swiftly. "Thorne, I'm mighty glad,

Never before was war so written I'D

and it is estimated that the city Jour

correspondence a hundred thousand
dollars day. Indeed, millions would
soon be eaten up by the fleets of steam
yachts and tugs manned by reporters,
sketchers and photographers, fiuttering
about among the battleships and ply

to manufacture countless columns and
pages of news" out of mere rumors and
guesses, or to beat a few drops Of fact

Did the Man or the Bird Insult Heri
From the Butte Mine: Can the voice
of an educated parrot be mistaken fol
that of a human voice? That was a
question that Judge Terrell had to de-

The judge decided that under certain
circumstances a parrot talking NIGH

Arthur Powers, who was accused o.
disturbance and calling Mrs. Nellie
thompson names that were not at all
polite, was allowed to go free because
the parrot was to blame. According
TO the testimony given during the hear
ing, Powers, who is a neXt-door neigh
Dor of Mrs. Thompson, was making o
good deal of noise the other night.
Mrs. Thompson stood it as long as she
could and then asked the Powers FAM
lily to be still. The noise continued,
however, and she again asked for
peace. Instead of getting it a volley
of oaths several yards long was fired
at her out of one of the windows She
started. back in amazement, and,
thinking Powers was to blame, prompt
ly had him arrested. His defence was
that he had not said a word to Mrs,
Thompson, but his parrot had, and OF
course he had no control over the
voice of the bird The green fellow, he
said, had been educated by "Scotty"
Orr, who had taught it many things i

When Mrs. Thompson called to him,
the parrot began talking and he could
not prevent it saying the things that
insulted Mrs. Thompson. The bird was
not in court, and it is probably good
thing that It was not.

A FAINT CRY CAME TO THoRNE.

a voice came crying back. Thorne
looked around. He wondered if any of
the other boys had heard it.
The wind had veered into the east
and was piling up the waves so that
the "crew" who lay for ballast along
the starboard rail caught a glimpse now
and then of the Fleetwing staggering
on behind. They saw and heard moth
ing else.
Again that faint call came to Thorne
like the voice in the ripple of water
He bent and looked under the boom,
Something was dancing toward the IA
tai current round the pudding stones.
Dancing like a thoughtIess child. A
wave lifted it nearer. 1t was a skiff
and bit of white stuff fluttered from
the bow, Well, many boats came ont

Yes, many boats camc-but not SO far
not skiffs-not with something white
flying from the PROV in terrified signal
of distress-surely not with frightened
cries for help-for mamma" and "pa-

help. Dave was close behind him. So
close that If he changed his course now
enough to rescue the little skiff. he
would be too late by the time he had
come back and rounded the "nudding
stone" buoy on the starboard side Dave
would have passed him.
A wave tossed the little craft on its
crest-another, and another, each wave
nearer to the whirl of water over the
rocks. Thorne could see the snindIa on
the crag standing like warning finper
1t was time to tack out around If and
start on the last leg home. Again cam

and so lost. Thorne looked at his

THE SPANISH FLEET.

There seems to be no room to doubt
the news that the Spanish fleet is in
the harbor of Santiago, with the Amer
lean fleet on guard outside. The Span
ish fleet has been found, but it may
be a very difficult thing to destroy it.
The harbor itself has strong natural
defences, and the forts have modern
guns. Ships can enter, only one at a
time and it may be very difficult to
bring about an engagement on any
where near equal terms. 1t will be re-
membered that there was great re-
joicing in Madrid when Admiral Ger
vera's squadron reached Santiago II
is possible that, instead of being
trapped the Spanish admiral has To-
Gated his ships in what he thought a
most advantageous position. Admiral
Sampson has hard problem to solve
but that he will solve it we do not
doubt. Santiago may be another Ma
Mia unless the Spaniards capitulate.
