CHAPTER XIX

THE CAPTURE OF THE SCHOONER.
wondered nightly that they had not
fired at us, but the solution of the riddle
came to me when remembered that the
Sprite had but one powerful sun forward,
and hitherto she had not been in position
to use it on us without blowing away her
ewn forward rigging. Her silence thus con-
trmed my fears as to the identity of the YES.
sci, nor were we long in doubt as to the
malevolence of her purpose. Still she glided
toward US, waited as is feather over. a
smooth pond, while we rolled to the long
reach of the surges without more way than
would take us fathom in minute.
For all the deafness of the Phantom, !
still stuck to the wheel, that she might not
round into the wind. Ames and his sister
had gone below to reload the firearms and
lay our ammunition, when, just as the last
gasp of wind went out and the shivering
sails set the reefing points beating the can
vas with musical ripple, the enemy slowed
a couple of points to the south, and ball
CT white smoke broke from her bow Plain.
ls US day i marked the shot as it struck the
water and in great leaps came skipping
toward u.s. 1t passed us well astern, tor,
with the fall of the wind, we had swung into
the trough of the sea, and the Phantom was
now parallel to her pusurer, the latter lying
off our starboard quarter.

of the future, he stood apart, only saying,
as the poor girls sobbing decreased: There
is God in Heaven, and what must be,
must be-"
Ii, however, had remained silent it was
not because was stunned, for, though my
tongue was dumb, my brain was active
enough. There was one chance in n million
that our pursuer was not the Sprite, or
even one of the British fleet. If SO, well.
Ii not, / would sell myself at such price
that there would be but little triumph for
them over my carcass. Turning at last to
Ames, said:
Until it be made certain that we be lost
to one another, l shall hold my life as dearly
as ever. The mere capture of the schooner
unless that fellow astern be the Sprite-
need not bring despair. We will run rs long
as run we can, and then fight; after that the
action of each lies with his own conscience.
As for me, I shall not be hanged from
British prison, but swear again that while
you or your sister live and can lift an arm
for either will still cling to the breath God
has given me. If, becoming powerless,
choose to cheat the rope, / will but be like
many a captain who goes down with his
ship. ! take it 'twould be no common sui
eide, for my honor would not have suf
fcred."
GAY, 1 said naught to mean the cowardly
taking of ones own life," answered the
youth stoutly. Eight we will so long as
powder and shot hold out, Quaker or no
Quaker. We be scant of the first, though.
I would to Heaven sudden darkness like
that which fell on Calvary would settle on
las now! We might then take to the dingy
astern and sneak for the Long Island shore"
He had hardly spoken when the mainsail
tapped, and the wind, which had been rap.
idly growing lighter, almost went out. l
cast my eye on the following schooner, and
saw with some satisfaction that she, too,
had lost the breeze she had been carrying
with her, for no longer did she heel to its
pressure, and, thought, no longer were her
SAILS bellying, but, like ours, hung in folds,
only occasionally rounded by the dying
puffs. By this she had drawn to within a
couple of miles of us and was still coming
on. Under our stern there was barelA a
wake ESQ slowly we moved), the froth from
cur bends and ruddcr having given place to
an oily fatness filled with tiny eddies,
through which the boat we still towed slow
~ dragged its way. Now there was yellow
haze on all the horizon, that told of the
waning day, but the SUMS broad light still
lay over the ocean, and it would be hours
ere darkness could furnish us shelter By
then our fate would be known.

light wines, the problem would be solv-
ed. Friendly card games could be car
ried on, plenty of good magazines and

dance of good fellowship. There need
be no puritanism, no oppressive super
religious or super-moral atmosphere
only an absence of the stuff that
steals mems brains and of the "play''
that makes paupers and ruins countless
homes.
Such wholesale substitution would
cost money. At present every energy
of law abiding people who want to
work for Ell Paso's good ought to be
directed toward compelling the total
tanishment of all music, slot machines,
''banks,' and all gambling games and
gambling devices of every sort. from
the saloons. The law is plain enough.
1t only needs to be enforced.
OF the three great evils in this city,
gambling is the worst. The profess

of every honest business man and every

THE canvass of the official vote in
Ohio has been completed. 1t showa
that Judge Nssh's plurality is 49,O23,
the total vote cast being 90S, 159, divid-
ed az follows among the six candidates
for governor:
George K. Nash, (rep.), All, 1919.
John r. Mclean, (dem.), 1858, l76.

Samuel M. Jones, (non-partisan),

An analysis of the figures shows that
about 10000 electors who voted for
Jones for governor failed to vote for
any other candidate for state Offices.
He drew his strength about equally
from the republicans and democrats.
The fact that 1O6,121 buckeyes voted
for a non partisan candidate excites no
little wonder.

RECORDS from the Mormon missions
in the south, as set forth in Chatta-
nooga dispatch, chow that 551 elders
are laboring south of the Ohio river.
They walked during the week 1000
miles while preaching their gospel.
They visited 3,29S families, held 937
meetings, and were refused entertain
ment' $40 times. In the Central Ken
lucky conference thirty-seven elders
are preaching. They walked S54
miles, visited 163 families, and they
were refused entertainment forty
times. In the eastern Kentucky con-
ference, forty-six elders were preach
ing. They.walked s54 miles, visiting
263 families. Mormon missionaries
travel in pairs and walk rather than
ride. Their assignments are made by
President Rich, of Chattanooga, who is
at the.hesd of the Mormon southern pro-
pagands. Their work has been so sue
cessful in the north that thirty Nor
mon elders arrived at Chattanooga from
Utah ina solid delegation last week
for assignment to work in Ohio.

CURE BY SUBSTITUTION.

Nearly all of the movements agains
the saloon that are started from time
to time and carried on principally by
members of Christian churches omit
one of the most vital considerations In
planning their campaign. There is NO
question that the wide open saloon,
crowding it's filthiness in among all
sorts of business houses, and Turing
men to it by every possible device, is a
great evil. But the evil will never be
cured by mere denunciation and blind
attack.
The modern saloon has three main
reasons for being.
First, it is place provided to fulfil q
constant and real demand for resort
where men can find congenial company
at any hour of the day or might, with
club house, with no restrictions as to
who may use its facilities.
Second, it is place where men can
quickly and easily satisfy their craving,
unhealthy no doubt but not unnatural,
for stimulants; in the saloon they can
easily get cooling drink on a hot day
or q warming drink during the winter
cold.
Third, It. is distributing station
established by the liquor manufactur
er to force his goods on the market.
Many saloons are kept up solely by
this means.
The root of the evil may be said to
h IL Of hot ia
piled to increase the consumption of
liquor. This force Is purely selfish
and may be applied by the manufac-
turer through the saloon keeper or by
the saloon keeper himself. In any
event, it plays so large part in the
business that it cannot be said that the |
saloon 'is,, merely supplying an existing |
demand. 1t is constantly creating a
demanda by an tappeal to the worst
instincts in man.
All sorts of devices are used by |
saloon. keepers to sell their wares. |
They have instrumental and vocal |
music, slot machines, obscene pictures |
and statues, pool and billiards, and all |
the vicious gambling games and de-
vices known to criminal experts.
Relieved of all these, and made
simply place where liquor could be
bought, and their attractiveness would |
greatly diminish. By the enforce
ment of the laws already on the statute
book most of the worst elements of the
saloon evil could be done away with.
But sthere would yet remain the fret
two "main reasons" as stated above, to
be met.
1t isscoming to be firmlyubelieved by
most of those who have thought the
matter over, that the saloon can never
be banished until an effective substi-
tute is'provided. Many people believe
that if for every saloon In this city
there are said to be over seventy
there. were to be. established q warm,

NOT FICTITIOUS PROSPERITY.

The democratic managers at their
recent conference in Chicago soothed
their perturbed souls with the thought
that the prosperous condition every
where apparent WAS Fictitious" tina t
the country was enjoying simply q de-
lusive stimulation of good times. But
the figures and the facts are against
them. Here are few items that they
should consider, reported by various
Texas newspapers:
The Denison cotton mill will soon be
at work. Twenty three cars of ma
chinery have been received for the
new enterprise.
The business men of Garrison have
determined to erect cotton and WOOL
en- mill. @. S. Baines is at the
head of the movement, and is assured
of $50, 900 in stock to be taken by Gar
rison citizens.
A new grain elevator is to be erect
ed at Fort Worth by the Orthwein
company. G. g. Mountcastle Is in
Kansas City hurrying forward mate
rial and machinery.
The Williams County Farmers In
stitute has just held a meeting at
Georgetown and determined to have q
cotton mill erected there by the
farmers and business men of that
county.
The Gonzales oil mill, at Gonzales,
has just been completed and is now
crushing cotton seed. The capacity Of
the plant Is forty tons daily.
The Sherman packing house has
been completed and began work
November 10.
The work of enlarging the shops of
the Cotton Belt railway at Tyler will
commence about the fret of jan
usry.
The business men of Winsboro and
the farmers of the surrounding country
are maturing plans for the erection OF
8 cotton mill. H. CD
dealers are doing an enormous bust
ness this month. It is impossible to
supply the demand, and the railroads
are unable to furnish enough rolling
stock to keep up with the ship
Perhaps a;gain of 800. 600, 900 to the
cotton growers from the increase in
price during the past year accounts
in measure for the signs of pros
peritY in Texas; but that prosperity is
both general and genuine is proved by
the sfact that bank deposits in the
United States are now more than two
billions of. dollars greater than in
1894.
The activity in Texas emphasizes the
act that ourspeople are at last begin
