Look at that for a schooner
yacht" he exclaimed, pointing ahead
and a little to starboard of their
course. "That is a beauty! Look at
those sails! Wouldn't they stop you!
Capt. Baldwin what is the techinal
name for that class of ship? It is
not classified in my marine books"
Capt. Baldwin was studying the
Strengthening craft through his
glasses. He did not answer Mr.. Sey-
mour's question, but stepped to
where Chalmers and Jack Stevens
were standing.
'Do you know the missing men by
sight?" he asked.
"I do" said Chalmers.
'Look at the men on that boat
through this glass. They are sig
mailing to u.s."
Chalmers took one long, searching
look. They were rapidly approaching
the odd-looking craft. The men on
board of it were frantically waving
handkerchiefs and cloths.
"It's them!" said Chalmers. ct rec
ognize Sidney Hammond and Mr..
Kent!"
Chalmers rushed to where Miss Car
mody and Mrs. White were seated
abaft the rear deck house.
81 think I have good news, Miss
Carmody," he said. His face bore
evidence more eloquent than words.
'Do not get excited. think we have
found Mr.. Carnody and his compan-
ions. Come along"
Miss Carmody turned pale for an
instant, and almost staggered as she
started to rise. She took Chalmers
proffered arm and walked rapidly for
ward. The whistle of the "Helen
Carmody" sounded long, shrill blast.
The motion of the engines ceased,
and the yacht swung to port. AS it
did so the raft came into full view,
not thousand feet away. Eight
men in yachting suits were standing
on the roof of a low cabin, waving
their arms and yelling like Indians.
An answering shout went up from
Seymour, Stevens and Col. Mcintyre.
Again the whistle sounded it's well
come note, and the screw churned the
gulf as the signal was given to back
water.
There's papa!" exclaimed Miss
Carmody. Her hand frightened con-
vulsively on Chalmers arm, but she
did not faint or go into Mysteries.
This was not a Carmody trait.
"There he is-God bless him!" she
exclaimed, as Mr.. Carmody waved his
hand and shouted: "God is very good
to us; they are all safe!"
The sun broke through the haze,
and every figure on the raft showed
sharply in the flood of light. At the
forward end of the craft monkey
tugged at his chain and jabbered
in excitement. Sidney Hammond and
Mr.. Kent were cutting away the lash
ings of the dingy. The raft was now
SO near the yacht that Capt. Bald
win gave the order to go slowly
| ahead, SO as to avoid collision.
The boat-boom swung into place,
and the gig was lowered. Four sail
| ors leaped into the boat, and with
lusty strokes were speeding to the
raft. There was quite sea on, and
the gig had difficulty in approach
ing "The Jumping Jupiter" But in
a few minutes Mr.. Carmody, Mr..
| Rockwell, Mr.. Haven and Mr. Nor
| ton were on board the dancing gig
| and on their way to the yacht.
| AS the gig neared the "Helen Car
mody," the crew and it's guests lined
up along the rail and gave cheer
after cheer. A stalwart seaman

"The next day became acquaint-
ed with the captain, man named
Parker, and found him mighty good
fellow. By leading the conversation
gradually up to contractors, and to
my friend Hestor, learned that Col.
John Mcintyre was the contractor,
and that he lived in Havana. It
seems the schooner was loaded with
lumber for Col. Mcintyre. The second
day out it turend and blew a gale
and carried us away off our course to
the southwest. Tt was late in the
afternoon when we passed steam
yacht, which seemed to be headed
for New Orleans. She passed US to
starboard. Capt. Parker sized her
up through glass and said:
"'There is that yacht you were
talking about, Seymour. That is the
"Shark'''
He was positive about it. The
first mate also said it was the Shark
She was about a mile and a half
away, and they could not make out
her name. Both knew the Shark
well, and were dead sure they could
not De mistaken.
''The gale set us back so much that
we did not reach Havana until Tues
day morning. Col. Mcintyre was not
at the pier, and I had considerable
trouble finding him. He lives out on
Vedado street, and I jumped into a
carriage and went out to his house.
He had just left to go into the coun-
try. went after him. 1t was noon
before I stood him up''
''Where is Col. Mcintyre now?"
asked Chalmers.
"He will be here soon," said Mr..
Seymour. "Jack Stevens has gone
out to his house for him. When
we found you were in the harbor,
Jack went for the colonel, and came
to pay my respects to Miss Carmody.
[ am never looking for the worst
of it''
Mr.. Seymour raised his hat and
saluted Miss Carmody.
"But to my story" continued Sey-
mour. 81 found Col. Mcintyre a gruff
old dog, and he tried to stand me off.
He said it was none of my business
whether he had built house for
Hestor Or not. saw it was no use
trying to con- the colonel. He was
too wise. So I told him the whole
story. You should have seen his eyes
stick out. At first he wouldn't be-
lieve word of It, but finally he
changed his mind. He said Hestor
was such an erratic fellow that he
would not put anything past him.
Then he thawed out and told me
everything"
"What island is the house on?''
asked Miss Carmody with suppressed
excitement.
''It is not on any island" said Sey-
nour. at is on the coast of Mex
Eco, south of Vera Cruz. From Col.
McIntyre's description, it is place
you would not find in thousand
years. The Mexicans and Indians
never go near it. They imagine that
it is haunted by the ghosts of some
old ruined city, which is said to be
near there. There is a small inlet
opening into a bay. You cannot see
this inlet unless you are close to the
shore. There is only one pilot, ex-
cept Capt. Waters of the Shark who
knows the way in through the rocks
and shoals. Any boat drawing more

trying, and on the whole I should
say that TIE best models are not
universally becoming. To begin with,
they are extraordinarily fiat and wide,
Though in the early part Of the season
they were high and narrow and think
they are rather apt to dwarf the head and
shoulders when worn in company with
the sloping pelerine.
Most of the toques and the ordinary
practical models are Of the wide, fiat,
improved sailor shape, simply trimmed
with wreath of flowers. They have, of
course, all the chic Of elegant simplicity,
and suit piquant French face, but the
real artist will find, when viewing them
from the side and back, that the lines are
not quite right.
The picture hat is mostly of the shep-
herdess type, and this is very becoming

One Of the most brilliant audiences
that ever gathered in New York
theatre greeted the BOStonianS Sept
at the Academy of Music. 1t was a
gala night. the occasion being the
quarter centennial of the famous or
ganizati0n. Mirth. sentiment. laugh
ter and tears were mingled together
during the festive eveniug-for it was
indeed one OF the festivities. Not that
it has ever been the attempt or desire
of the Bostonians to provoke tears.
but there are times when the heart
oVerfiCwS at retrospective glance of
a long career of melody and laughter
On that night, when thousands of old
and new friends greeted the veterans,
Barnabee. Macdonald. Rockingham.
Studley and Bacon-the last named of
the business partment-thoughtS of
glorious cCnquests in days ago came
spontaneously to those on both sides
of the fCCtlights. 1t was no wonder.
then. when Musical Director Samuel
l.. Studlay led the orchestra in Auld
Lang Syne. that Barnabee. Macdonald
and Frothingham. and two male vet
Grams in the chorus. were much bro
ken up. 1t was not at all surprising
when Col. Henry Watterson, the god
father Of the Bostonians, spoke vivid
ly Of past scenes, faces and conquests.
that tears trickled down the face of
Studley: it was not to be wondered at
that Barnabee. the grand old man of
comic opera. should bow his head and
sigh retrospectively; that Macdonald
should clear his throat from the
and that rockingham. Miller and
Dale should occasionally rub their
eyes and ''ahem' a bit. But it is only
on such sentimental occasions that the
traditional members are recalled; for
in this day much better is demanded.
That is why "new blood" has been in
fused into the company. and why Il
man with such standing in the mu-
steal world as Loudon G.. Charlton was
chosen as managing director. In many
respects the company is stronger than
il ever was before. All that money
and the wide experience and great in
fluence of MessTs. Charlton. Barnabee
and Macdonald can secure from the
dramatic and musical fields, were TAX
en- advantage of. with the result that
there has never been Il comic opera
company-not excepting the earlier
days of the BostOnians when they won
their fame-that contains the voices
now to be heard with the Bostonians.
With all imagination and sentiment
thrown aside, and justice granted, the
patrons of the Illinois will agree with
this statement when the BOstonians
will be heard here next Wednesday.

screamingly hilarious farce is to
be the attraction at the Illinois sun
day. The KatZenjammer Kids" Blon-
dell and Fennessy's mirth-provoking
comedy. is the attraction billed. The
company is composed of nothing but
comedians and condolences who have
made for themselves a reputation in
the different roles they have been en-
gagged to interpret. \ bewitching, be-
wildering bunch of female beauty of
course can be looked for in the chorus
who are to assist the principals in
discoursing some of the many musical
numbers with which the play abounds.
1t is claimed that Il slender and unim-
portant plot is used as a background
for innumerable and absurd antics by
capable comedians. clever and eccen-
trio specialties and mirth-provoking
situations. In fact. il is nothing
but pot-pourri of nonsense just put
together for laughing purposes only.
An abundance of mechanical and cleo
tricaI effects and special scenery and
properties are used with this COM
pany. making it one of the most en-
tertaining and best equipped organi
cations of its class now touring the
