with ace, Jack and three small In
about two cases out Of nve command Is
obtained, and the chief objection to the
ace lead is absent. Risk Of loss by
fourth best occurs in about two cases
in fourteen. Hence the number Of
cases favorable to the ace lead Is near
ly equal to the number in favor of
fourth best. My own prediction is in
favor OF the fourth best lead. The
gain when it occurs may be great,
whereas the loss when it occurs is gen.
orally limited to one trick.
In the case of ace and four small,
the opponents can ruff the second
round in about four cases out of four
teen. Other circumstances reduce the
risk OF loss consequent to the lead OF
fourth best to two in fourteen.
In the Isl of ace and five small,
opponents can ruff the second round
in about cases out of fourteen,
and the same considerations reduce the
risk Of loss to about four in fourteen.
The risk, therefore, in this case, is APP
proximately double that in the former
ase With weak trumps it is hardly
worth while to incur so considerable a
chance of loss. At the same time, with
a very weak suit (e. e., ace, 6, 5, 4, 3,
q considerations OF defense may favor
the lead of fourth best. With strength
in trumps the great advantages that
may result in ten cases out of four
teen are a powerful argument against
the ace lead"

all about torpedoes, spars and e~lectri-
city, and, seeming to work under my
direction, we had the launch fitted
within a week. A spar was solidly af-
fixed to her bows and projected a dis
lance of 80 feet. To the end of this
was attached an iron torpedo contain
ing 120 pounds of giant powder, which
was to be exploded b. electricity at
the moment of contact with the man
of-war. | had counted on a crew of
three, one to fire and one to steer, while
l would con the launch into position
and press the button. When we were
all ready, not a man could be found
in Callao to go with me. AS high as
S1O,0 900 was offered, but there was no
moving a patriot. 1t was considered
a sure thing that the launch would be
blown to pieces along with the block
ader, and, although all loved their
country they didn't want any sure thing
in theirs.
In this emergency, and thinking to
put the men to shame Donna Calinte
came forward and offered to go along,
and she was very much in earnest, too.
The scheme didn't w.rk. The men
still hung off, and under no considera-
ton would have | taken a woman
along. The affair was at a dead stand
still when / decided to go alone. I had
the electric wires run aft to the wheel,
and one night at 10 O'Clock / left the
wharf for a ive-mile run through the
darkness and against a choppy sea by
compass. There had been so much talk
about the enterprise that / expected to
ind the Vengeance on the alert and
to be discovered ad sunk before 1
had come within ! cables length Of hen.

HOW A YANKEE DID IT.
ny NJ. Quad.

Copyright, 1901, by c. B. Lewis.)
! was in the marine hospital at Cal
lao, Peru. when war was declared on
Chile and was just able to limp around
when two Of the Peruvian gunboats
were chased into port and the Chilean
man-of-war Vengeance took up her sta
ton to blockade. There was a third
gunboat in the harbor, and there was
a great deal Of boasting as to what the
trio would do when they got ready to
would be to sink the Chilean within a
quarter of an hour. The people foamed
and ragged, and the navy waited. The
gunboats had no business to go out
against that modern ironclad, armed
with the latest and most powerful
guns, and their officers knew it, but
there came a day when public opinion
drove them out. The fight lasted 20
minutes. One gunboat got back to
sink in the harbor, while the other two
went down outside. The people were
fairly wild over the defeat, and wom-
en- as well as men howled for venge-
ance.
The day after the fight, while 1 still
had my quarters in the hospital, M Of
the lady visitors happened to speak to
me and discovered that / was an Amer
lean. She began talking of the fight,
and I never saw a madden woman. she
was grieved, Inundated and angered
over the defeat of her countrymen, and
when I sided with her it brought out a
startling proposition. She was the
widow of Calinte, of vast wealth and
much social and political influence and
beiieved that the defeat of the Peru
VANS was caused by the timidity of
the admiral. She asked me if it was
not possible that the Vengeance could
be blown up, and when l replied that
it was possible, what did she do but
offer me every chance to bring about
such a calamity. That meant the use
of a steam launch which she owned,
with all the money necessary to fit her
as a torpedo boat, and $50, 900 cash in
hand if 1 succeeded. The old girl fair
.ly took my breath away as she piled
up the business, and having once got
the idea she would not let go Of it.
She insisted that 1 get into her car
riage and drive home with her, and
most influential friends and demanded
that l lay before them a plan and at
once begin work. 1t was a queer po-
sition for the mate of a Yankee craft
who knew nothing of naval affairs and
had never been aboard a man-of-war
and had no claim to integrity. / knew
absolutely nothing of torpedoes, and
instead of a plan l had only an idea.
That was good enough for them, how
ever. They had heard of the cute Yam
kee and believed he could accomplish
anything he set about. l had no more
Idea than the man in the moon of go
ing into anything seriously and yet two
days later found me "bossing the job"
| had offered my services to fit out a
launch and run her out and blow up
the man-of-war, and the president of
Peru wasn't in it with me for popular
ity. 1t took all the police force of Cal
lao to keep the enthusiastic population
off my feet and save my arms from be-
ing paralzed.
In my teetotal ignorance l was wise
enough to assume to know it all. and
that passed for the brightest sort of
accumen and the most solid nerve. l

Many Wonder.

Many wonder riNc@~ it IS that
pin worms and stomach won ,,a S
get into little children, or how a
tape worm 800 feet long, can get
In and exist and grow inside of a
man, as it sometimes happens.
They NAV we'll wonder, for it IS
a great mystery. However,
many now know from experience
that Mothers Worm Syrup will
rid one of intestinal worms and
greatly improve the health after
the worms have been destroyed
and expelled. It is absolutely
a harmless remedy to take, and
as it only costs 25 cents, all
should try it who suspect worms
to be the cause of their III health.
