The captain stood on the bridge, a figure of stony despair. The land could never be reached with water pouring like a torrent into the for ward hold. He cursed his negligence in overlooking such a frightful blunder. It was going to cost 200 lives, and he must not be among the saved. The Pride of Asia was get ting low in the water, but he could not understand why she was not sink ing more by the bow. She was vibrat- ing from the engines, pushed to their highest pressure, for the fremen stuck gallantly to their posts. Five minutes went, and ten, and then, with sudden shock, she took ground. and all were safe.
 Next morning, young Malcolm was missing, and the sorrowful news was sent to his father. It was thought he had fallen overheard when the ship grounded, and he could not swim.
 A week afterward, the divers en- tered the forward hold, and found, to their astonishment, that the bulk head door, which they had expected to find open, was closed.
 They forced 1t open, and against it was floating the body of boy.

 The mantle of business power and the management of vast commercial interests fall easily on MT. Armour's shoulders. For the last eleven years his sole thought apart from his family has been the furtherence of the interests of Armour & Co.,
 MT. Armour is at the packing house in the morning as early as the humblest clerk, and Is often at work when most of tie em- ployes have gone for the night. He has many of the characteristics of his father some of the most pronounced of these be- ing his devotion to work, his unfailing courtesy and his accessibility The men who have been most intimately associated with him since he took control of affairs credit him with as quick a perception of business advantage as his father although they say he moves with more caution and IS ambitious to grasp every detail of q move rather than leave the responsibility for vital step to the head of any depart ment, which the dead merchant did to a

STUDENTS DISAPPEARANCE
 STILL A DEEP MYSTERY
Those Who Knew Bass Frazer Scoff at the Idea That He is Trying to Obtain Money From His
 Father.

Atlanta, Ga, January 9.-(Speeial.) )-The mystery of the disappearance of Bass Fra ger, the student is still unsolved. No trace of kidnappers has so far been found. The affair has created sensation here and there is much surmise ito how the kid nappers managed to capture the young man.
 Those who knew the young man at the Tech" aver that it would have been next to impossible for any three men to have kidnapped him without the sudden use of drugs, because he was, as they said today, strong as a horse"
 Robert J. McCuen an assistant instruc- tor dn the textile department of the "Tech," roomed with Frazer at the house in Spring street from September until the holidays. He still rooms and boards in the house. Last Saturday Frazer asked him for a stamp, just prior to disappearing. He says that he cannot believe that the student was Kidnapped and taken from the city. Speaking of the matter today, he said
 "All that I know is that Frazer Is gone. Where or why I cannot say. You see, he was exceedingly correct in his habits, as far as I know. He did not drink nor even use tobacco. Of this l am positive.
 q cannot account for his going. He never
 
 would go to the theatre, and this was seldom. He was studious and well behaved. If he had ever taken a drink while he roomed with me l surely would have mo- ticed it. He had no friends here that 1 know of and was not enamored of any young lady as far as I can tell"
 Here McCuen was interrupted by another instructor at the "Tech," who asked if Frazer read dime novels. Well, yes = sometimes" admitted Me Cuen. is ii A. L. Carter, another young man who studies at the school and who boards at the house in Spring street had nothing to add to the statements of McCuen.
 Miss Williams the young woman who keeps boarding house where Frazier lived refused today to make any statement re- garding the matter other than she had no idea as to what had become of the young man. She also said that his habits were most exemplary.
 The idea advanced during the day that
