Disturbed Peace OF the SeadOgs.
81 do not know why it is, husband,
but our Hazel, young as she is, is wor-
rying a great deal. That girl Sankala,
disturbs her peace of mind. She does
not like her. The poor girl is kind to
our Hazel and all of that but our child
seems to have most natural antipathy
for her.
"Sankala is the most popular girl at
school. The teachers love her, the
girls run after her and the boys wor-
ship her. They look upon her as some
superior being and yet she is only q

more devoted to the old man every

should die, but then it would almost
kill her, for the poor thing worshipt
the old fellow. But it would be BAG
for the village if Ringwold should die

"They are sailing under false
plumes, Sankala, they are sailing un-
der false plumes. They are wearing
that which of right belongs to others.
"Sankala, 1 have always passed as
your father. l love you better than a
father ever loved bis child. The idea
prevails among the fisherman that only
your mother was drowned and that l
your aged father, who had taken a
young wife at the age of three score and
ten had clutched you in my arms at
the last moment and that fate had cast
us ashore.
"We were cast ashore together. 1T is
true, you fve-weeks old babe in my
arms, but your mother and father both
went down to a watery grave"
But you are my father now," broke
in Sankala. 81 love you as my father
and shall always love you as such.
''That is true, my child, that is true,
but your real father is dead. 1t is this
that places heavy responsibility upon
you and me. Your father was much
wronged and it is left to you and me
to right the wrong. Should I continue
to live, Sankala, will right the
wrong, but should die the duty falls
upon you. You are young, l know,
but you already possess a woman's in
telligence and with the data before you,
you will be able to complete the plans
which have inaugurated, should the
worst come. l am failing rapidly,
Sankala, am failing rapidly"
But you will live, father, you will
live," sobbed the girl.

fail you must finish the work. I'm

1t contains evidence, Sankala, that

the fishing village. 1t will do more

and to gee the great world.
81 shall never forget your mother

night just fifteen years ago when the
old ship made such gallant fight on
the bar and finally went aground on
Sand Island.
"Your father was assisting the sail
ors and had been swept from the deck.
You were born aboard the ship after
we had left the old country. The
ships surgeon had given a certificate
of your birth. Your mother knew how
important that certificate was, San
kala. and when all were lost but the
captain and you and l /; she came to me
and threw you into my arms. She had
imbedded the certificate of your birth
in wax and thrust this deep into the
inside pocket of my vest. She said,
calling me by my right name:
Il have a presentiment. You will
live and rescue the child. I will be
lost. Upon the very eve of reaching
the place we so long sought, my poor
husband went down in sight of his own
wealth. 1 must surely follow. Take
her, my dear friend, take the child and
see that she gets what belongs to her.
In the name of Him who will reward
you, 1 beg you to be brave and do that
for which you are now intended

CAPTAIN BROWN SEES
HIS YEARLINGS WORK
Auditor, Conjurer and Other
Members of Derby Division
Out at Memphis.

MEMPHIS, Jan. 30-Capt S. S. Brown
witnessed several young colts and fllies
for which he paid handsome amounts as
yearlings work for the first time to-day
since they celebrated their two-year-old
birthdays. The track at Montgomery Park
was not in the best condition early in the
morning, but just before noon Trainer
Tucker started off with Auditor, Conjurer
and other members of the Derby division
and gave them short journeys negotiated at
a two-minute clip. The baby brigade fol-
lowed, and at the conclusion Captain Brown
expressed himself as satisfied at the APP
pearance and action of his horses all of
which have wintered well and are ready
for the spring training season.
Captain Brown has not made up his mind
about the campaign for Proceeds, but he
will be entered in the Kansas City Derby
He is already in the Kentucky Derby Cap
tain Brown said that the first start of the
colt would be in the Tennessee Derby and
that it was likely TO be followed by ship
ment to Kansas City for the new derby of
s. 900 added money. Auditor, he said, had
been settled on to start in the Crescent City
Derby, and also the Tennessee Derby Con-
jurer, Seaworthy and a three-year-old maid
en- in the local barn will be depended on
for other early stakes.
Tommy Mcgee, representing Ed Corri-
gan. also spent the day at Montgomery
Park looking over twenty-one head of Corri-
CANS horses which includes the Montgom-
cry Handicap candidate. Mcgee said Corri-
gan would leave Los Angeles March l. ship
ping sixteen head to Memphis. Pat Dunno,
he said would also ship thirty head here
and both Dunno and Corrigan will ship from
here to Kansas City.

MILWAUKEE BOWLERS
WILL NAME CANDIDATE
Will Meet to Instruct Delegates TO
Cleveland on Question of
Presidency.

MILWAUKEE,. Jan. 30-The question OF
of the city for the presidency of the Ameri-
can Bowling Congress is to be definitely
settled at a meeting of the Milwaukee
Bowling Association to be held at the
Plankinton House Sunday afternoon.
Charles Mol, first vice president of the
congress. and one of the most enthusiastic
and active workers for the interests of the
sport in the country, is a candidate for the
honor. and the bowlers of the city feel that
his work in the interest of bowling here
and throughout the State entities him TO
consideration, but the same men also be-
iieve that, as Milwaukee is almost certain
to get the 1905 congress, following the usual
custom, Mayor Rose should be given the
position. In order to get the sentiment of
the majority of the bowlers President Koer-
association, and before its close the dele
gates to Cleveland will be instructed as to
how they shall vote.
There is every indication that Milwaukee
will get the congress, and If il comes here
the bowlers will strive 10 make ii one of
the most successful ever held. 1t has been
the custom to elect the mayor Of the city
that is awarded the congress to the chief
office of the organization, and. while Mayor
Rose cannat DE considered a candidate, he
has said that he will accept the office if the
bowlers of the city want him. The reason
for honoring the mayor is that it gives the
chief executive of the congress city "a per
and il is believed by many that Mayor Rose,
whether he is reelected this spring not
would be an important factor in the success
of the 1905 congress.
