ardent Gubbs: You can ave a man
too willing. He'll go and knock hisself
up"
The small boy came up, his big boots
Gathering over the stones. and, shading
his eyes with his hands, gazed along
the road. The other men. following his
gaze, saw three men advancing loving
ly arm in arm toward them.
Tit can't be old Morgan with EN-"
said Mr.. Larkins.
1T is, though said the old fisher
man, peering through screwed up eyes
They've made it up through old Pc
ter; that's wot they've done. He's been
talking at 'em and getting at 'em, and
now there won't be no fight"
His disappointed auditors groaned in
chorus. Wont there?" said Larkins
savagely. 'Ho! Won't there? You
don't think me and my friend Bullock
here are going to slave three weeks for
nothing, do you"
"There won't be no fight" repeated
the old man. Look how loving they
are. All three of 'em as close together
as sweethearts.''
The advancing trio certainly bore out
the old mans words to the letter. Mr..
Peter Morgan was in the center and
appeared to be half embracing his COM
panions.
"Why, they can hardly walk" said
Bullock. They've been too far

kins in hollow voice.
Seems to me-" said the small boy
slowly, that they've lad bit of

The crowd. with bated breath, STEP
ped out to meet them, Larkins and
Bullock leading. 1t was evident that
the two heroes were clinging to Mr..
Morgan more for support than from
any motives of affection, and it was no
less evident that the lads remark as
to a bit of n scarf was capable of wide
Interpretation. In a few minutes both
parties We're face to face and the two

The figure on Mr.. Morgan's right
arm managed to open an eye and to
twist it's swollen lips into something
intended for smile.

THE PEACEMAkERI
By W. W. JACOBS.

copyright, 1900. by W. w. Jacobs.I
The harbor was crowded with fish
ing boats, and fresh arrivals were
coming in every few minutes. Until
the entrance was reached they came
scudding along with every appearance
of haste but then their ma inSailS came
tumbling down to the deck, and the
boats with sufficient way left on them
moved easily over the still water and
felt their way to a berth.
Small boats conveyed the fish to the
quay, where fishermen were apprais-
ing the catch with a wisdom beyond
their years.
There was a glut of whiting; so
many whiting and going so cheaply
that it was enough to make them bite
their tails from sheer annoyance. Small
fiat fish, which slid away from their
pile, were carefully, looked after and
coaxed back with the toe of a sea boot.
but whiting slid away unnoticed until
they vanished from mortal ken in the
pockets of predatory urchins.
In the small market a short, red
faced man with scarlet beard reached
in a disparaging fashion from heap to
heap, using a favorite brier in lieu of 4
Qin lner 10 KNOCK uOWu SUCH uSn DIS
found bidders. The latter We're few
and wary and, turning a deaf ear to
eloquence, expressed in crude English
opinions distasteful to an auctioneer's
ear.
The sense of the meeting being
against him, the auctioneer tackled to
it and, coming to another heap con-
siSting of the selection of the most I'M
desira BILE fish that swim Britannias
realm, gaZed at it Indignantly. There
was a litter behind him, and he voiced
his wrath impetuously.
That's Joe Gubbs' catch,'' he bawl-
ed. 'S'elp me, I'd know that mans
luck anywhere"
He turned the fish over scornfully
with his foot and with a severe glance
at the hapless Gubbs moved away to
something more salable.
''Where dye get 'em from, Gubbs?'
inquired an aggravating voice. 1--WE
never get such things in our nets. I've
never seen some of them things
afore."
There's a lot you amt seen, Bob
Tarbut," said Gubbs, turning upon
him, land what you do see don't do
you much good"
'Fd be ashamed to bring home such
a queer looking lot" jeered the other.

Future of the G. & D.

Very soon after the election Of General
Manager G. w. Stevens to succeed NJ. E,
ingalls, as president of the Chesapeake &
Ohio a report became current among rail-
road men that the Chesapeake & Ohio
would be operated in conjunction with the
Baltimore G. Ohio, becoming practically a
part of the last-named system. Pennsylva-
MIA interests now dominate in the Chesa-
peake & Ohio, and Pennsylvania interests
In the Baltimore & Ohio are so large that a
combination of the Il. & o. n the G. &
o., 1t is asserted, would in no way be detri-
mental to the welfare Of the Pennsylvania.
The community of ownership that now
governs in the trunk line situation is best
subserved, railroad men say, by having the
Baltimore a. Ohio and the Chesapeake &
Ohio work together. President Cassatt.
OF the Pennsylvania, has his righthand
man, s. NJ. Provost, in the Baltimore &
Ohio directory, and President Stevens, of
the Chesapeake & Ohio, was picked out for
thai position by President Cassatt and the
Vanderbilt interest.

The Central Passenger Association lines
at their meeting in Chicago yesterday, de-
cided to grant a rate of one cent a mile
for the national -encampment of the Grand
Army of the Republic, to be held In Chi
cago next August. This is the lowest rate
ever made for any occasion. IL Is regarded
as certain that the Western roads and all
other lines In the country will follow the
example of the Central Passenger Asso-
citation, and grant an equally low rate.
The association also agreed TO grant a rate
OF one fare for the round trip. plus -,
for the National Educational Association,
meeting at Charleston, s. c., next July.
For the national Prohibition convention at

ment of claims of Central Passenger Asso-
citation roads on military business. The

said to amount to $5o0.tJ0, of which the

that the flour rate has been cut. Is cents

PLEASING ENTERTAINMENT
Mr.. Hector Fuller Reads q Paper
Musical Programme.

The musical and literary entertainment
given by the finance committee Of Grace
Cathedral at st. Paul's parish house last
night was well attended. The literary part
of the programme was furnished by Mr..
Hector Fuller, who read his paper on "a
Later-day Estimate Of Dickens" This pa
per was read by Mr.. Fuller before the In
d%ianapolis Literary Club at its December
meeting, and is said to ave been one OF
the best papers ever read before that club.
Since that time Mr.. Fuller has read the
paper in different parts of the State, with
the result that he has been asked TO pub
lish it. Mr.. Fuller's portrayal of Dickens
is as of one who has a deep and sympa-
thetic love for what he has written. AT
times when he is reciting some Of his IA
vorite passages, in which Dickens portrays
his love for children, the audience is moved
to tears. which are quickly dispelled by a
happy quotation from some of Dickens's
more humorous characters. In the words
OF Mr.. Louis Rowland, who introduced Mr..
Fuller to the audience. some people were
there who knew something Of Dickens.
and there were some present who knew
a great deal about Dickens, but ii was safe
10 say that there We're none there who
NEW as much about Dickens as MIR. Full
Ter.
The musical part of the entertainment
was furnished by Air.. and Mrs. Hugh Nc
Gibeny. Mr.. McGibeny's playing was ex-
ceptionally fine, and his rendition of the
adagio and gondoliera from the Franz Ries
suite for the violin and piano, in which he
was accompanied by Mrs. McGibeny, was
warmly applauded. Mrs. McGibeny gave
two monologues which so pleased the audi
ence that she was compelled TO bow her
acknowledgements to its M of ap-
prevail. Mr.. McGibeny's singing of THY
Beaming Eyes" and The Sweetest Flow
err charmed the audience almost as much
as his playing.
The proceeds OF the entertainment are to
be devoted TO the replenishment of Grace
Cathedrais treasury.
