"Youc pay will be commensurate
with the risks. senior Let us waste no
more time. Set forth at once and and
a craft"
AT the end of another half hour we
had the details arranged as far as pos
| sible, and | was ready to begin my
| share of the work Within d hours l
had found a schooner yacht from the
Mediterranean. an English built craft
whose owner had tired of playing sail
or and left her in the hands of q bro
ker for sale. 1t required week TO re-
, paint, repair. find a crew and put provi-
sions aboard. and Da Costa was ready
with 50 wherever there was need for
81. 1t was given out that a yacht had
been bought for a resident Of the
Azores and was to be delivered there.
and there was no trouble about her
clearance.
While knowing, of course. that Da
Costa was in Cadiz, 1t appeared that
Don Raminez had neither imprisoned
his daughter nor set an extra watch on
her movements. To dodge her duenna
and escape from the house and grounds
and make her way to an appointed rem
devious must have been a difficult mat
ter. but she accomplished it. and two
hours after dark one evening a boat
brought the pair of lovers aboard. Ten
minutes later we were under way. A
fairer girl never looked upon. and she
was as brave as she was fair.
We left port with a fair wind ard
carried it all night as we headed out
into the Atlantic. and the yacht slipped
along as if driven b. steam. We had
got away so quietly that l did not look
for pursuit, but daylight had scarcely
broken when we found steamer in
our wake. As | afterward ascertained.
the girl had been missed early in the
night. the sailing of the yacht discoy-
cred. and while one steamer was head
ed for the Canaries a second took the
course for Rio and was soon overhaul
ing us.
At noon the steamer came up with
us. The brother was aboard of her.

made three different attempts to crash |
into us. but each time our fire. which |
was not meant to kill. drove the men |

Ismail Kermal Bey an Exile.

London, February 14-Ismail
Kcrmal Bey, one Of Turkeys
Oid-SChOOl statesmen has arrived
in London, an exile from his
native land. Long ago his in
sistenCc on administrative re-
forms within the Ottoman
empire made the old economist
unpopular at the porte. His
eliminating of'ense consisted in
vigorously advocating the cause
Of England against the Beers.
TO n correspondent he said:
ga frank pleading of my
country's interests as I saw
them entailed my political
downfall l urged Turkey, out
of gratitude to England, to show
her sympathy with the English
arms Official Constantinople
tried to muzzle me by sending
me away as governor general to
TripoIi, but | preferred to still
r"nain a free man, even if in
exile.
"Turkcy can survive only
with England's aid. England
can retain her oriental possess
sions only if Turkey abides to
beat back the Russian Colossus.
Under these circumstances Eng
land and Turkey should form
ally ally their military and naval
forces. Russia horeS eventually
to rule the world, and is quietly
strengthening her hold on STRAIT
egic bases in order to dominate
Turkey. Russia, however, un-
less effectively opposed, will
ultimately crush both the Turk
and the Briton in Asia"

TiIIman, who rose from the How

twice-elected Senator, scorns the

ally a rough diamond. He is as
frank in his speech as he is un.
conventional in his dress.
Senator Depew asked the pre-
siding officer to inform him what
question was before the Senate.
lie seemed to look upon the per-
lormance as an entertainment,
and was evidently quite ready to
treat the large audience in tie
galleries to a witty after-dinner
speech. Senator Tillman broke
in upon him. "If the Senator
had been in the Senate, as he was
bound to be under his obligation
to the Republican bosses here"
said Tillman to Depew, "he would
have known what was going on"
