New York Record any time you ask
for it. Capt. Waters, how did our
old college chum, l.. Sylvester Vim
cent, get on board the 'Shark?"
Capt. Waters looked rather crest
fallen, and glared at Mr., Vincent
with an expression which boded that
gentleman no good.
HE came along about minute
after you and those two gentlemen
did," said Capt. Waters, pointing to
Mr.. Rockwell and Mr.. Carmody. II
supposed he was one of your party.
He handed me his card and came
aboard. l found him roaming around
below and knew that something was
wrong. So L brought him up here"
Glad to see you aboard the yacht,
said Hestor. you will have plenty
of time to talk matters over with
Mr.. Carmody."
when do you go back?" asked Mr..
Vincent, as a puzzled expression came
into his face.
"We are not going back" Hestor
replied. "We are going to the South
Sea islands"

friends. They will think 1 am neg
lecting them"
t There being nothing for Sidney to
say he remained quiet and returned
to the dining room in time to meet
Mr.. L. Sylvester Vincent, as has been
related.
Hestor soon found that his unwill-
ing guests desired to retire to the
apartments which had been reserved
for them. They were shown to the
staterooms, and a servant detailed
to look after their comfort. They
found that their host had made every
effort to anticipate their needs.
Slippers, smoking jackets, pajamas,
and a liberal assortment of linen
and undergarments were provided in
profusion. Hestor bid them a pleas
ant good night, and returned to the
upper deck where he found Mr.. L..
Sylvester Vincent. That gentleman's
face yet bore a puzzled expression.
He had vainly attempted to engage
Mr.. Hammond in conversation. He
now approached Hestor.
Where did you say you were 60
ing, Mr.. Hestor?" he asked.

But l must go back to New York" :"
explained Mr.. Vincent. "Just as
soon as I can see Mr.. Carmody you
must put me off. Which way are we
going now?"
about east"
"Will you ask Mr.. Carmody if he
will see me now?" asked Mr.. Vincent
in his most insinuating manner.
Cant do it. He has retired for
| the night" replied Hestor. you
stay with us. This is the chance Of
your life. You are a promoter, are
you not?. Yes? l thought so. Well,
you are in luck. On this yacht are
six of the richest men in the world.
You can promote any old thing with
them if you know your business.
Make yourself at home. Keep right at
them. Don't let them stand you off.
You will have lots of time. see you
have your drawings and plans with
you. You certainly are in luck.
Bob, show Mr.. Vincent to stateroom

I'll have to stick. Who are all of

As 1t Should BE Written.

1t is feared that the correspond
ents who have told how Novelist
Richard Harding Davis distinguished
himself at the recent alarming fire in
Marion, near his summer home, have
failed to grasp the graphic possibili-
ties of the situation. Possibly they
were limited by both time and space,
but it does seem as if they should
have told the story little more aft
er this fashion:
The red glare grew stronger.
Myriads of specks arose like demon
lac firehies. The exhausted towns
people sank back in sullen despair.
All was lost save a few bureaus and
settees. The selectmen of the lit
tie town looked at one another and
ground their few remaining teeth. 1t
was the gnash of defeat. Human
strength availed not in the face of
this red-tongued SILVA.
At that moment, when hope fell
dead and faith was badly scotched, a
blithe whistle was heard from the
highway.
whats this? cried CHEEKY voice,
as well-built form swung into
view.
IT'S a fire." said Elder PeaseIy, as
he feebly coughed a bunch of smoke
from his pipes.-Cleveland Plain

Mr.. Pence had passed the stage of
excitement. He was lost in the
depths of despair. Had one of the
marines entered and commanded him
to walk the plank it would not have
added to the weight of woe which
overwhelmed him.
Mr.. Palmer j. Morton had taken
no part in the brief proceedings
which had accomplished this revolu-
ton. He grasped the situation from
the moment Hestor made his first
declaration, and realized that
whether their dilemma was the re-
suit of a plot or the whim of a
maniac, that arguments and force
were useless. Mr.. Morton prided him
self that he could divine the mach
nations of the cool-headed busi-
ness schemer, but was he expected
to cope with the fantastic plots of a
| crazy man? 1t was enough to know
that he had been duped. He must
devise a way out of the trap which
he had helped to set.
Gentlemen" he said, "this is a
| serious affair, but we must meet it
| coolly and with deliberation. 1t is
of no avail to storm and rage. We
| are Gagged, and it will do no good to
| beat our wings against the bars. /
feel myself largely at fault in this
affair, but all of us are likely to make
mistakes and to suffer lapses in
| Judgment. In this"
'Mr. Norton" interrupted Mr..
Rockwell, Il think l speak for all
present when l say that we do not
hold you in the least responsible for
this ridiculous event. | should have
done the same thing. So would any
of u.s.
Il thought that newspaper trust
one of the best things I ever heard
Of" said Mr.. Pence, and his eyes
frightened for the moment at the
thought. 81 figured it out that the
stock would have paid 20 per cent.
dividends on the original investment.
Oh, it is awful"
Mr.. Pence evidently did not refer
to the magnitude of the vanished div
idends, but to his present sorrow.
''We must retire to one of the
staterooms and consider what can
be DONE" said Mr.. Morton. Il pre-
sumo the owner or the officers of the
