ing of the launch depended upon the
heroic endeavors of these two in the
"Sprite." Other help was at hand and
nearer. The launch was no more
than fairly helpless when the flag
boat of the Wahaska yacht club
rounded the southern point of the
island, close-reefed, but driving at
railway speed before the squaH. Her
skipper saw the accident and was
happily a man for an emergency.
Moreover, he had a trained yachts
crew aboard, ready to spring to
quarters at his yelled command. So
it came about that the Diana" was
the first on the scene, and her crew
was picking up the shipwrecked ones
when the "Sprite" came up, head to
the wind, in the thrashing seas.
notwithstanding, the "Sprite" had
it's mission, and for all the quick
work of the big sloop's trained crew,
one life would have gone out in the
smothering pillows but for the up
coming of the catboat. In all the
fierce excitement of the moment, it
was Charlotte who kept cool, and it
was she who caught a glimpse of a
white head upthrust for a moment;
of that and of hand flung out to
grasp hOpelessly at nothing. In a
flash she gave GriswOld his cue and
jammed the tiller down to utilize the
last forging rush of the catboat's
momentum. The reefed sail had
spilled and would draw no more, but
the quick sweep of the big rudder
suficed; and Griswold, leaning far
over the side, clutched the despairing
hand just as it was disappearing.
This was how it came about that
an old man whose span of years had
well-nigh bridged the little rift of
Time which lies between the two
shores of Eternity, was helped to
make that rift little wider. For all
his years, and the fierce struggle in
the foam-smOther, Andrew Galbraith
was yet conscious when GriswOld
dragged him over the gunwale of the
catboat; and his first gasped-Out
word was characteristic of the man.
II told that gandering loon of
an ingineer he'd lose Mr.. Grierson's
boat, and he's done it the moo! And
rs warrant she cost a pretty penny,
too"
With the lake still lashed into fury
by the squall, which was now spend
ing itself in spiteful catspaws, Girls
void had his hands full with the
''Sprite;" and yet in all the distrac-
tion of it he saw the shadow of
smile in Charlotte's eyes, and found
time to answer it. Found time for
this, and for the thought which
welled up in sudden ecstacy at this
little lovers proof of the consanguin-
ity of kindred souls. But after that
he became the cool and intrepid
sailOr-man again.
Taking the tiller, he let the catboat
fall off until he could speak the
yacht.
'Sloop ahoy!" he called; "have you
got them ALP"
"All but one," was the answer,
blown back on the gale.
"All right; we have that one"
shouted Griswold; and at the word,
the two boats shot apart, each to
make its laboring way towards the
Wahaskan haven.

A KndVe Of
Conscience
By FRANCIS LYNDE.
(COpyright 1900, BY Francis Lynde.)
CHAPTER xxx.

AS it happened, the launch party
in which Mr.. Andrew Galbraith was
to be a guest had to be postponed,
after all, on account of the weather.
Though there was no storm during
the afternoon, there was a good
promise of one; so Margery went
about to ask the invited ones to save
the afternoon of the following day
for her.
While she was doing this, the good
results of her mornings work among
the wives of the strikers eliminated,
first in a meeting of the men in Labor
Hall, and a little later in a visit of
a deputatiOn of the strikers to the
Office of the iron works. Griswold
and Raymer were both there, and
when the trouble came to be dis
cussed without heat, and with a mu-
tual disposition to give and take, it
was wonderful how the difficulties
were surmounted each in its turn.
The upshot of the conference was
a compromise duly acceded to by all
concerned; and the following morn
ing the hideOus- steam siren of the
iron works announced to all and sun
dry within a radius of half a dozen
miles that the long strike was ended.
1t was Characteristic of the two
partners that the relaxing of the
strain affected them in Numerically
opposite ways. Raymer flung himself
into the work of the office with all
the joyous abandon of a schoolboy
whose vacation has been over-long.
But GriswOld took a holiday, riOting
in his release from the strain, and
meaning to spend the better part of
the day alone on the lake in his cat
boat.
Oddly enough, he was diverted from
this plan not once, but dozen times
during the forenoon. First he had to
go with Raymer to be present at the
opening of the firms account at the
Farmers and Mechanics bank. Then
he chanced to meet Griffin, and when
he would have made a mere greeting
of that, was drawn aside to smoke a
social cigar with the detective in the
lobby of the ST. James.
A chat about everything in general
and nothing in particular went with
the cigar burning, and it was at the
very end of it that Griswold noticed
a most astonishing change come
upon his companion! a change so
marked that he thought Griffin was
taken suddenly ill-thought it and
said so.
Griffin shook his head in denial.
4 guess it must have been sugges-
tiOn," he said, evasively. "You have
a very vivid way of describing things,
Mr.. Griswold, and your telling me
about that attack of typhoid gave me
the sympathetic qualms."
This was what he said, but it was
no more than half of the truth. 1t
was not the fact of the fever, but
some mention of the time of it that
had moved him; and when GriswOld
was gone, he sauntered over to the
clerks desk to ask question.
"You told me once, awhile ago,
that Mr.. GriswOld was slck here IN
the house." he began. "Was that last
spring, or was it late in the winter?"
Il don't remember, but I'll look
and see," said the clerk. And he
looked and saw, and this time gave
his questioner the correct date Of
GsiswOld's arrival in Wahaska.
Griffin moved away with his hands
deep in his pockets and his lips drawn
into a thin. straight line. This was
the last broken link in the chain OF

POWERS WANT ROOSEVELT
TO BE The ARBITRATOR
.By Associated Press.l

WASHINGTON D. c., December 90
President Roosevelt has proposed to the
allied powers that the Venezuelan dispute
"a submitted to the ari1itta al -
Hague tribunal. The powers have replied
with a counter proposal that Prest .ent
Roosevelt himself arbitrate the issues.
These were the Developments over Right
in the Venezuelan matter and they seem
to Justify the perdiction made in these
dispatches that the critical point had
been passed President Roosevelt does
not wish to act as arbitrator in this dis
pute, for as such it is felt here he would
be at cnce. judge. jury and constable,
and would be under the moral obligations
to execute his twn judgment. The Pres
ilent feels that reference to The Hague
tribunal would vastly. strengthen the
cause of arbitration.
Still rather than. see the present dis
pute proceed to extremes, it is probable
the President Will reluctantly assume the
duties of arbitrator. It is fully realized
that any decision rendered by him in that
capacity would be sure to bring him the
ennity OF one or the other Of the par
ties to the controversy. and this fact was
pointed out to the President early in the
week by leading Senator who had been
called into consultation Nevertheless to
prevent bloodshed and the destruction OF
property and the interference with great
commercial interests that woul4 result

Notes.
THE ENTERPRISE is OPPOSED
fRx Associated Press

WASHINGTON. DC, December 20
After a session OF less than three hours,
the Senate to-day adjourned until janu-
sry 9Th next To-day's session was large
" given up to an address by senator
Morgan upon the question OF the con-
struction of an Isthmtan Canal. Inc
Senator declared that7it would be In the
interest Of the United to resume neEota-
tons with Nicaragua and Costa Rica with
the view OF utilizing The Nicaragua route
for the reason that. as he believed. II we
should continue to depend upon the Pana-
ma route we would never have q canal.
A number of bills were passed. among
them. one for the payment Of the eX-
penses OF the anthracite coal strike COM
mission was agreed TO.
MIR MORGAN'S VIEWS.
Mr.. Morgan ccntended for the making
good Of contracts entered into by Pres
adent Mckinley with Costa RIGA and
Nicaragua The negotiations Of these
agreements be characterized as master
full act, and said they were about to be
trodden under foot
He then went on to express apprehen-
sion that If the United States did not
avail! itself OF The opportunity to build
q canal by the Nicaragua route none
would be built. Action at the present
Congress. he considered. important. be-
cause any person familiar with congress
sional proceedings know that n minority
could prevent action in the one session
only that must come after the present
before the expiration Of the canal a1anro-
pria;i0n. Attention was also called to
the fact that under Colombian law only
the Congress of that country can ratify
n treaty. There had been no Congress
there since 1899. and there was not Likely
to be any soon unless the Panama Canal
Company should pay Its expenses out of
the So. 600 on hand or the $4,000 o o
promised by the United States. He there
fore. expressed apprehension that any
treaty that might be accepted by this
government would fail of action in. Co.
1omb;a.
Speaking Of the possible failure of rati-
fcation of a treaty with Colombia and
ITS possible effect. upon treaties that
might afterwaTd be sought with Nicara-
qua and Costa Rica, AR Morgan said:
Il am not iraputing any lack OF pa
triotism or any disposition to defeat all
canal enterprises TO any one In these OBJ
eervations. I am only considering posi-
bilities that are obviously in view and
endanger the construction of a canal at
either Of the localities provided by the
oct OF June Is, 1902.
interests are. opposing the opening of any
canal through the American Isthmus, and
these con- binations arc relying upon 4
minority of the Senate to destroy all ef-
forts to construct such \ canal"
