CHAPTER vi. Continued.

4, I gave him shilling for his infor-
nation and then left the house.
Once more / had missed Gideon
Hayle by few minutes, but 1 had
received some information that might
help me TO find him again. Unfor-
tunately, however, he was now well
on his way to Southampton, and in
few hours might be out of England
My respect for that astute gentleman
was increasing hourly, but it did not
deter me, only made me the more re-
solved to beat him in the end. Max
ing my way to Waterloo, I inquired
when the next train left for South
ampton. Finding that I had more
than an hour and a half to wait, I
photographed to the man had sent to
Southampton to watch the docks,
and then took the electric railway to
the city, and made my way to my of
fee, where pile of correspondence
awaited me on my table. Calling my
managing clerk to my assistance, 1
set to work to examine it. He
opened the letters while I perused
them and dictated the various re-
plies. When he came to the fifth he
uttered an exclamation of surprise.
What is it?" inquired. "Any-
thing wrong?".
In reply he handed me letter
written on good note paper, but
without an address. 1t ran as fol-
lows:
"Mr. Gideon Hayle returns thanks
for kind inquiries, and begs to in
form Mr.. Fairfax that he is leaving
England to day for Algiers."
IF he thinks he is going to bluff
me with that sort of tale, he's very
much mistaken" I said. 81 happen
to be aware of the fact that he left
for Southampton by the nine o'clock
train this morning. If might
hazard guess as to where he was
going, I should say that his destina-
ton is the Cape. But let him go
where he will, I'll have him yet. In
the meantime, send Williams to Char
ing Cross at once, Roberts to Vic
toria, and Dickson to st. Paups.
Furnish each with description Of
the man they are to look after, be
particular about the scar upon his
left cheek, and if they see him tell
them that they are not to lose sight
of him, happen what may. Let them
telegraph should they discover any
thing definite, and then go in pur-
suit. In envy case shall return from
southampton tonight, and shall call
here at once"
Half an hour later I arrived at
Waterloo, took my ticket and board
ed the train for southampton. When
I reached the port I was met at the
station by my representative, who
informed me that he had seen moth
ing of the man had described, al
though he had carefully locked for

PLEDGED To Roosevelt.

Following are the resolutions OF the
states whose Republican conventions
have indorsed Roosevelt for 1904:
Kansas, May %.
Succeeding to the presidency under
tragic. and most trying circumstances,
Theodore Roosevelt at once won the
confidence of the country by the ammo
uncement that his highest endeavor
wonld be to continue the wise policy OF
his illustrious predecessor, and during
the months that have followed has SO
discharged the duties of his great office
as to win the respect and affection OF
the people. We are proud of his ability,
his courage and his sturdy Amer
icanism, and we pledge him the cor,
dial and earnest support of the Repub-
licans of Kansas in all his efforts to
continue our splendid prosperity and
maintain the high honor Of the republic
at home and abroad. Kansas looks
forward with JOY to the coming time,
but two years distant, when victorious
Republican party will march under
banners bearing the inscription, " For
President, Theodore Roosevelt. ;.
Pennsylvania, June ".
To President Roosevelt and his adj
miristration we give our heartiest ap-
proval and Isupport. We recognize
the fidelity with which he has carried
out the policies of his lamented predc-
cessor. He is strong in conviction,
wise in action, thoroughly American, OF
high ard patriotic ideals and his leader:
ship establishes confidence both in the
success of Republican principles and
the continued prosperity of the country
We pledge yourselves to support him
for the office he has filed with such
ability and patriotism.
Missouri, June Is.
The Republican party of Missouri
unreservedly indorses Theodore Roose-
welt and his administration. Suddenly
called upon to assume the great respon
sibility of the presidency, he evinced
from the, beginning that high sense ol
honor, that exalted patriotism, thai
courageous manhood which have wor
for him the affection of his own party
BoletiÌn mercantil de Puerto Rico. (San Juan, P.R.) 18??-1918, 1902-09-19

and the admiration of his political ad.
versaries. He is the President, not Of
any party or faction, Tut of the whole
people. His administration has 1een
marked by no pomp or show of power,
but by simplicity worthy of our rep.
ublican form of government. While
chief executive of the nation, he is still
one of the people, and his highest aspi-
ration is to accomplish the greatest pub
lie good. His every official act, whet-
her having reference to our policy at
home or abroad, has been inspired by
the highest sense of duty and with the
desire to advance and piomote the best
interests of our common country, and
we believe that in his character and in
his career Theodore Roosevelt has prov
ed himself TO be the ideal and logical
candidate of our party for President in
1904.
Minnesota, July |.
We cordially indorse the able and pa
triotic adminisl ration of President Roos-
evelt. We are proud of his manly CO.
urage, his purity and devotion to the
interests of the entire country, and pied
ge him the earnest support of the Re,
publicans of Minnesota in all his lefforts
to continue and advance the prosperity
of the people at home and the glory of
the republic abroad 1t is therefore,
the sense of this convention that Pre-
siden Roosevelt succeed himself as Pre-
sident of the United Sta,es.
Iowa. July 30.
We approve the determination OF
President Roosevelt to enforce The laws
wherever violated without prejudice OF
favor Ap proving his purpose and as
sured that he has the confidence of the
people, we look forward 10 his election
to the presidency in 1904 as forashad:
owed event demanded by the popular
will and one that will maintain and pro-
mote the national prosperity and con-
serve every national interest.
Delaware, Aug. 19.
The platform indorses the admins
tration and craftsmanship of President
Roosevelt and pledges him the support
of the Delaware Republicans for reno
minalion in 1904, 1t commends the
work done by the ffty-seventh congress
