Washington, Dec. Because Of the
determination of General Reyes to aup-
port all the contentious he makes in his
brief that this or that phase Of this
governments isthmian policy was
against precedent by historical refer
ences as well as by high authorities Of
international law the preparation Of
the paper is taking longer than was at
first expected. It was said that it was
not at all certain when the note would
be ready for transmission to the state
department. Indeed, General Reyes is
not in any haste to send it, for this
may be taken by the Colombians as the
termination Of their ENJOYS mission
here and the country might seize on
the opportunity to make war, q con.

Something like a surprise party waited
the dame when supper time came round.
one was thinking of making a cup of tea
with her own hands and adding a slice of
ory toast when the red-headed girl sud-
oeniy appeared In the cabin fully dressed
and looking as pert and saucy as if the
old brig rested in a cornfeld instead Of
ceeding steepness.

I'm the only girl aboard, as I will have

captains are married men?"
Yes, ma'am. know that they are, and
each one is the father of at least leven
children" replied Mrs. Barnes, with great
emphasis. being determined to crush the
red-headed girl at the very outset.
We'll they can hirt with me for few
days. Just the same" said the girl. as she
surveyed herself in the cracked mirror
hanging over the table.
At supper the red-headed girl made
herself thoroughly lat home" She
laughed and chatted and made eyes, and
Mrs. Barnes could not help but see that
her own captain. as well as the two
others were more than interested. She
grew red IN the face and her blood boiled
and as soon as the meal was finished and
the girl had gone on deck, escorted by
the two other captains. she drew herself
up before her liege lord with folded arms
and demanded:

Mrs. Holloway doubtless considered her

'.They must be taught the Difference

said the girl. She was very young and
possessed of the follies as well as the

Mrs. Halioway's voice trailed OF into q
deprecating silence. Mise Holloway
straightened up in her chair with the
laudable pride of Judge about to confer

''Mr. Parker" she said impressively, "I

The clerk remained silent And now
for the hrst time Miss Holloway looked
up-far up-and encountered the serene
gaze Of his brown eyes.

which gave authority Of beartng-it was
his self-confdence. his mental poise. In
tuitively Miss Holloway OF Chicago real

and shame, hot-cheeked and defiant
stood as q culprit at the bar. For a
twinkle Iurked In the cool depths Of the
brown eyes as he said easily:

ey is as good as that OF other people-but
no better. At the Great Eastern first

with half bow, lis why we have been
forced to give this room to-Miss Halo
way Of Chicago"
His tone was courteous, but the girl
felt the sting OF underlying reproof. 1t
was a new experience for her All her
twenty years had not discovered person
who should dare to cross her. The great
T. p. Holloway himself lacked the neces-
sary courage. Or. rather, he openly en-
couraged her willfulness as a reincarna-
ton Of his own indomitable spirit As for
Mrs. Holloway, she was always a minus
quantity on such occasions as demanded
frmness. She preferred to be comfort
ably seated and wiring her hands-gently.
Tears came easily, and IN no wise inter-
fered with her heart action or gradual
increase OF avoirdupois-

The next the mink" got piece Of
Mrs. Barnes mind 1t was a liberal piece
and ought to have brought her to her
knees, but it didn't On the contrary,
after she got fairly started, the red-head-
ed girl got off three words to the others
one and read her long and severe lee
ture on minding her own business. In
this lecture were included few observa-
tons on false teeth and gray hairs, and
when the battle was over it was the moth
erly Mrs. Barnes who didn't know where
she was at. She tried to get even by CALI
ing her husband into the cabin and tell
ing him what was what, and that she'd
take good care to see that everybody in
Providence heard of 1t.
The Daisy sailed and on and the
flirtations went on and on. and as the
brig crept up the coast Mrs. Barnes felt
II in her bones" that Boston would never
be reached. The red-headed girl had
brought disorganization from cabin to
bowsprit and almost taken command.
You Jest wait Josiah Barnes-you Jest
wait for Cape Cod" the captains wife
grimly repeated dozen times day, and
Cape Cod was finally reached.
Then a gale sprang up the big brig lost
her foremost and though the red-headed
girl sought her stateroom and the crew
was left free to battle with the storm
the craft was driven ashore and became a
total wreck Crew and passengers were
saved, and in due time Captain Barnes ap-
peared a. the office OF the owners in Bos-
ton to tell how 1t all happened. He was
listened to until he had finished, and then
the head of the firm handed him a letter
that had been received the day before Il
was from Martha. and 1t read:
Il want to report that the Daisy is
ashore on Cape Cod and total wreck,
and 1 want to report that a red-headed
gal and a lot Of fool-men are the cause
of It."
