cling moonward and noting with sat
isfaction that the luminary was be-
hind thick bank of clouds. "Turn
back and row to the warehouse steps.
I wrnt to look at that fellow" So
saying, he quickly threw off his uni
form coat with its cleaning shoulder
straps and collar device, slowed his
forage cap under the seat and sat
bareheaded and in his shirt sleeves.
Obedient to Joe's powerful strokes
the little boat was speedily gliding
in among the shadows of the sailing
ships moored along the quay, and
presently her stern was swung round
to flight of stone steps, and Stuy-
vesant bounded ashore. Over at the
boat landing the electric lights were
cleaning and the sound of many
voices chaffering over boat fares was
heard. Here among the sheds and
warehouses all was silence and dark
ness, but Stuyvesant unhesitatingly
strobe straight to the corner of the
big building and into the blackness
of the westward side, peering right
and left in search of the skulker
who dared not come to the open
dock, yet sought means of reaching
the Australian steamer.
For a moment he could distinguish
no living object, then paused to lis
ten, and within ten seconds was re-
warded. Somewhere close at hand
between him and low shed to his
left there was the sound of sudden
collision and a muttered oath. Some
invisible body had bumped against
some invisible box, and, turning
sharply, Stuyvesant made a spring,
and the next instant had grappled
with some burly, powerful form and
was dragging it, despite furious re-
sistance, towards the light.
He was conscious of the sickening
odor of sour whisky, of a volley of
mad threats and imprecations, of a
singing blow in the face that only
served to make him cling the tighter
to his prisoner. Then, as they swayed
and struggled to and fro, he felt that
he was not gaining ground and that
this unseen ruffian might after all es-
cape him. He lifted up his voice in a
mighty shout:
"Police! Police! This way!"
Then he heard a savage oath, a
suffering, savage "Let go, d-n
your SOUL" and then felt sharp,
singing pain in the right side-an-
other-another; and earth and sky
reeled as his grasp relaxed, and with
moan of anguish he sank fainting
on the dock.

ADIsT1NGU1sHED MISSIONARY

Washington, Ind, Sept. 23rd.-There
is at present living at LOG E. 18th street,
in this city, a most remarkable man.
He is Rev. C. H. Thompson, and he
came to Washington from Little York,
Ind, a short time ago.
Rev. Mr.. Thompson spent many
years of his long and useful life as q
missionary among the Indians of the
West. The great exposure and the
drinking of so much bad water
brought on Diabetes, and at Wagner,
Indian Territory, he was struck down
while preaching.
Physicians, one of them a Chicago
specialist, pronounced his case hope
less. Dodd's Kidney Pills were recon-
mended, and as q last resort he tried
them. He was completely cured, and
restored to good health and his case
and its cure has caused a sensation
among the physicians.

Lincoln'. Father a. a Boy.

Thomas Lincoln, the father of Abra-
ham Lincoln, was great story teller.
and one yarn that he never tired of
rehearsing was blood-curdling In
dian tale. One day, when he was
about seven or eight years old and
living in Kentucky, he was sitting on
fence watching his father and older
brothers at work in the field. With
out moments warning small band
of Indians came rushing by on horse
back. One of them, with a sweep of
his long arm, seized the lad and gal
Hoped off. Little Tommy Lincoln
looked up into the red warriors face
and said: Don't kill me. Take me
a prisoner" The Indian smiled. Just
then a rifle cracked. Indian and boy
tumbled off the horse, the Indian
dead, with bullet in his brain. Tom
my Lincoln's brother had come to the
rescue.-Argonaut.

CHAPTER TX.

Vinton's fleet reached Manila. A
third expedition had coaled at Hon
olulu and gone on it's way. More
transports were coming, and still
there fingered in this lovely land of
sun and fowers-lingered for time
'twiXt life and death-Vinton's strick-
en- aid-de-camp, Lieut.. Stuyvesant.
Of his brutal antagonist no trace
had been found. The shriu cries of
the Kanaka boatboy, supplementing
the young officers stentorian shout
for the police, had brought two or
three Hawaiian star bearers and club
wielders to the scene of that fierce
and well-nigh fatal struggle. All they
found was the gallant victim with
ing in pain upon the dock, his hand
pressed to his side and covered with
the blood that poured from his
wounds.
It was half an hour before a sur
geon reached them, rowed in with the
general from the Vanguard. By that
time consciousness had fled, and,
through loss of the vital fluid, Stuy-
vesant's pulse was well-nigh gone.
They bore him to the Royal Hawaiian,
where a cool and comfortable room
could be had, and there, early on the
following morning, and to the care
of local physicians, the general was
compelled to leave him.
With the brakeman to aid them,
the police searched every nook and
result. Murray, alias Spence, alias
Sackett, fugitive from justice. could
not be aboard that ship unless he
had burrowed beneath the coal in the
bunkers, in which event the stokers
promised he should be shoveled into
the furnace as soon as discovered.
Every sailors lodging house in the
town was ransacked, but to no pur-
pose. Murray could not be found.
For fortnight Stuyvesant's fate
was in doubt. Officers of the third
expedition could carry with them to
Manila only the hope that he might
recover. Not until the ships of the
fourth flotilla were sighted was the
doctor able to say that the chances
were now decidedly in his favor.
He was lifted into a reclining chair
the day of the flag raising-that pa
thetic ceremony in which, through
tear-dimmed eyes, the people saw
their old and much-loved emblem sup
planted by the stars and stripes of
their new hope and aspirations. He
was sitting up, languid, pallid and
grievously thin, when the tidings
reached him that the transport with
six troops of the til cavalry, among
others, had arrived, and the doctor,
with quizzical grin on his genia,
face, informed his patient that some
Red Cross nurses were with the COM
mand, and that two very nice-looking
young women, in their official caps.
aprons and badges, were at that mo-
ment inquiring at the Office if they
could not see the invalid officer and
be of some service to him.
Sore in body and spirit, wrathful
at the fate that robbed him of
share of the glory he felt sure await
The Kinsley graphic. [volume] (Kinsley, Kan.) 1890-1940, 1901-09-27

CHAPTER VIu.-CONTINUED.

A grewsome sight those sailors had
presented when called up for SEN
tence in the morning, and a remorse-
full quartette they proved. Moreover,
to the consul general, who had been
called in in the interest of fair play
for Jack, they declared that they
were innocent of all evil intent. They
only went in for little fun with
the soldiers. 1t was that San Fran
cisco fellow who called himself
Spence when he was sober and Sack
EFT when he got drunk who brought
on the row and then abandoned them
to their fate. He had owned that he
had it in" for soldiers in general
hated the whole gang of them and
wanted to see them well licked. He
had plenty of money and would pay
their fines if the police iran them
in" and now had left them in the
lurch.
They had no money and were con-
fronted with the proba bility of
months labor with the ''chain gang"
on the public roads if the consul gen.
eral couldn't get them off. So that
amiable official had gone out to the
fotilla and had a talk with the Colo
RADIO officers and the three brawny
heroes of the billiard room battle,
with the result that everybody agreed
to heap all the blame on the vanished
culprit in the check suit, and the
sailors got off with a nominal fine
and went home to nurse their bruises
and their wrath against Spence, alias
Sackett. That fellow shouldn't get
away on the Miowera if they could
help it.
All this Stuyvesant was bordering
over as, after stopping to leave his
p. p. c. at the Pacific club, he strolled
down Fort street on his way to the
boat landing. The big whistle of an
incoming steamer had attracted his
attention as he left the consul gen.
erals to make one more call, and at
the club he heard some one say the
Miowera had reached her dock and
would sail for Australia in the morn
ing.
The sky, that had been so cloud
less early in the evening, became
somewhat overcast by II, and the
moonlight was dim and vague as he
reached the landing.
In his several trips to and from the
transport it happened that he had
fallen frequently into the hands of
bright Kanaka boatboy whose adj
mirable rowing and handling. of the
boat had pleased and interested him.
Be ready to take me out about
$780," he had told him, and now
where was he?
Several officers and soldiers were
there bargaining with the boatmen,
and three or four of these amphibi-
Gus Hawaiians precipitated them
selves on Stuyvesant with appeals for
a job, but he asked for Joe.
Him gone" was the answer of an
eager rival. Him other job;" but
even as they would have persuaded
Stuyvesant that Joe was not to be
had and his selection must be one
of their number, Joe himself came
running from the direction of a ware
house short pistol shot away.
"What kept you. Joe?" asked Stuy-
vesant, as the light boat danced away
on the tide.
ssEAller want me take him outside
Miowera,. Tas the answer; ''him be-
hind warehouse"
1.-THE deuce you say!" exclaimed
Stuyvesant, turning about in the
stern sheets and yazing back to
shore. stAre tES:>. landing stairs at
the warehouse, and is he waiting for
you there?"
Huh" nodded Joe.
ssThen here" said Stuyvesant, CLAM
The Kinsley graphic. [volume] (Kinsley, Kan.) 1890-1940, 1901-09-27

to tell the glad tidings that he should
be borne forthwith to higher regions.
He had left Stuyvesant peevish,
fretful, but otherwise inert, asking
only to be spared from intrusion. He
found him alert, intent, eager-his
eyes kindling, his cheeks almost
flushing. The instant the doctor be-
gan to speak the patient checked him
and bent his ear to the sound of soft
voices and laughter from without.
Give fixed it ALL" whispered the
medical man, reassuringly. We'll
move you in a minute-just as soon
as can call in another man or two"
and he started for the door, whereat
his erratic patient again uplifted a
hand and beckoned, and the doctor
tip-toed to his side and bent his ear
and looked puzzled, perturbed, but
finally pleased. Stuyvesant said that,
thinking it all over, he guessed" he
would rather stay where he was.
And then, when the doctor was
gone, what did he do but take a brace
in his chair and bid the attendant go
out and say to the officer on the
veranda, Lieut.. Ray, that Mr.. Stuy-
vesant would be very glad to speak
with him if he'd be so kind as to come
in, whereat the soft laughter sudden
ly ceased.
There was a sound of light foot
steps going in one direction and a
springy, soldierly step coming in the
other. Then entered Mr.. Sanford
Ray, with outstretched hand, and the
attendant, following and peering over
his shoulder, marveled at the sudden
change that had come over his mas
ter.
Three days later, when the City of
Sacramento was pronounced ready to

{" You are growing DID," they tell US.

Old places changing fret us,
