ment advices of recent date all go to
show that the danger of hostile
clash with Colombia is abating and
these, taken in connection with Minis
ter Beaupre's courteous treatment by
the Colombian officials on his way

preston here that there is now no
danger Of failure to reach a satisfac-
tory adjustment of whatever issues
may exist between the United States
and Colombia. For one thing it ap-
pears that the seaboard states of Co.
lombia have come to realize that in
the event of hostilities they would be-
the first sufferers by contact with a
naval force, while the politicians of
Bogota, two weeks distant from the.

regiments, the Twenty-seventh and
Twenty-eighth, recently entered the

Snow lies on the ground and the cut

there will be no trouble until spring.

them by assuring them that in case of
hostilities he would send them safely

at war on the ships-for the fun Of the
game. With her serious purpose had
entered his life and was before him.
The silence Of the night was broken
only by the soft splash of the waves
as the little boat rocked gently through
them. The gentle wind grew fainter
and fainter. Presently the flap Of the
idle sail against the mast apprised him
that it had gone.
The white Scraps and her consort
were far. far ahead. going fast and
leaving long white wake across the
sea. They seemed to have kept the
breeze which had failed the small boat.
Coming up from the southwark he
