"He can't see down In the hold OF

During the voyage to Brazil and back
many OF the crew had grown fond OF

loved him.

ing the talking.
Rob stepped into the boat, they
showed off, and in a few minutes Rob
was on board. The situation was at
once explained by Rob, and the crew
promised to help him. He was snug
~ hidden in the hold, and his last
words were:
IF anybody comes after me, don't
say ! am here. But tell Torreyo when
he comes"
Rob remained for sometime hidden
there. and wondered what kept Torreyo
so long. He could see nothing, hear
nothing. He could feel the motion OF
the schooner, and knew she was still at
anchor.
At last he heard the sound OF the
anchor chain. They were getting un-
der way.
"Torrevo has come back" said Rob,
exultingly. Nov l am all right"
He still remained hidden for a time.

they were not the kind to mourn IL
they heard Of his death somewhere
else. they were not quite ready to have
him killed under their very noses.
Rob heard the murmur, and in
stinctively knew that some of the men
were friendly to him, and opposed to
Starne's brutality. He quickly turned
and addressed them.
Men, | have sailed with you" he
said. "Torrevo was yoLir friend and
mine. Will you let this mar kin me?"
There was no answer from the crew.

rage. 'Ill show you and them what l

He drew a pistol from his belt. AS
he raised 1t to aim at Rob, the boy
suddenly felt a giant arm on his, and
he was swung round behind a powerful
fellow who took his place before
Starne.

Starne, who had now lost all con-

BRYANISM q ELIMINATED.

If the estimate Of Walter w ellman,
of the Chicag Record Herald, is cor
rect. or even approximately so,
Bryan and Organism have been elimi-
mated from the democratic party, and
the Chicago declaration Of principles
and the Kansas City reafiirrnatlon of
them are to be considered political
heresias and their adherents political
heretics. Mr.. Wellman' s estimate,
based on actual figures, is that what
is known as the Bryan element Of the;
party will have less than twenty FIVE.
pei cent of the entire delegation at
Chicago in the coming convention.
This means that the democracy of
the country has again repudiated itself
and after eight years Of the most
heroic work on the part u its leaders
to teach its political doctrines to t he
American people the party itself an I

perity. Is it possible for political
party whose leadership does not know
what is best for the people, to be
safely intrusted with the power Of
government Is it reasonable to
suppose that out of such antag onistic
party conceptions of governmental
administrative doctrines can come a
policy beneficial to the people of the
nation at large, should this waveripg
and vasciliating party be intrustea

power Is the record worthy of com-
parison of the party of Lincoln which

unchangable, but like the great prin-
ciples of the constitution, are so broad
and so profound. and SO thorough
based on human rights that they are
