and Veale would be upon him There
remained the desperate chance Of swim
| ming out to the lugger, slipping its
! cable. and getting to sea before being
| overtaken, and he moved cautiously on
ward, determined to risk that. Ths
himself hid him from the watchers until
he reached the edge of the sand. whers
he waded into the water. The sun, still
low on the horizon. was sending le-
| beams across the shimmering sea. and
into these he struck out, trusting that
the glitter might serve for concealment.
But in this he was disappointed.
There was shout from above as Santo
perceived him, and simultaneously .
woman's cry from the cliffs:
Martini Save me, Martini"
The swimmer turned to see Viva flying
down the shore from a cleft among the
rocks; and in an instant he had found
his feet again, and was splashing back
as soon as the girl.
Tom Johns she gasped. was after
me-in the tunnel! Oh. Martini
SanIo ana Neale came rushing over
the sand toward them; from the cliff
cleft mems calls. as of those cropping in
darkness. sounded like a hollow echo.
The couple strained franticaIly at the
boat, whose stern, Tapped by a rising
tide. drew slowly afloat just as Simon
Santo, plunging waist-deep into the
swell, clutched fruitlessly at the taffrail.
My curse on vel" screamed Simon
passionately shaking his fist toward the
swiftly retreating craft, where CaIstock
had sprung To the oars. May my curse
rest on t pair of we, and all that ever
come to Le kin 10 ye."
But the curse of a deceitful man must
be Of no effect save to come home TO
rocst. as this did with Simon Santo.
The boat reached the lugger. which
with its occupants. attained to safety:
and that same night saw Santo, with his
assistants and his goods in the clutches
of the law.
In the church of St Lantock may be
seen stained-glass window bearing
this legend:

of Great Mercy vouchsafed TO Martin

The Challenge Accepted.

Early in December. Columbian issued
her annual challenge to Georgetown, and
1t was accepted. All the old enmfty had
died away. the schools were composed
o. men who knew little of the old fight
and there was little opposition to hold
ing the debate. Georgetown decided
that Columbian was her natural rival
and although they had previously ar
ranged a debate with the University of
Wisconsin. decided to give Columbian
a chance.
agreement was signed for the two
universities by representatives from
tfeir respective debating societies. Co
lUmbian was represented by Samuel Her
rick. W. T. FITZGERALD, and Carl Muskat
Gecrgetown's representatives were Fran
els c. Reagan, John F. Heffernan, and
William w. Bride. These two commit
tess formulated an agreement proyid-
ing for a series of yearly debates for
tie next three years. In the first of
these Columbian was to name the ques-
ton and Georgetown to choose the side
she preferred to argue. These condi-
tions are to be reversed each year. Co
lumbar, carrying out the provisions of
the agreement. submitted the following
question, remarkable alone for its
length:
The Washington times., 1903-05-24
Selecting the Debaters.

Both sides selected their debaters af-
ter a series of preliminary contests.
Georgetown selected her team first Dur
ing the latter part of March some eight
candidates spoke before Justice Shep-
ard, of the Court of Appeals; Prof. D..
W. Baker, Of the law faculty, and the
Rev. Rene j. Holland. S. J.. professor
Of economics at the Georgetown Uni
versity. After much elaboration these
gentlemen announced their choice as
follows: Albert R. Denu, of Wisconsin,;
Francis Hunter Burke, OF Indiana, and
Alexander Irwin Rorke, of Massachu-
sets, as debaters- at large, with John
Joseph Mahoney, of Illinois, as alter
nate.

question of 100 words. A question
which, if repeated several times by one
of the speakers, would be considered a
great constitutional argument by a
casual listener. A question which might
be divided into sections. one to be de-
bated each year until they were ex-
hausted. This would do away with the
necessity of renewing the agreement at
the end OF three years and would mean
endless peace. Suffice it to say Column

the affirmative side.
