] When Tom Scott awoke the following
morning his side was stiff and sore. but
by the time he had dressed and made
his way downstairs he had almost for
gotten the wound In the realization of
the fact that the way had been miracu-
lously opened for him TO reach the gold
region.
lie found the old miner waiting for
him in the smolling-room, and as he
entered the latter arose and greeted
him heartily, saying;
Good morning. Scott. How Is the
side to-day? Pretty sore, isn't II? NV

Come on, let's get good square meal
and then wei go down to the vessel.
l hope she'll be ready to sail to-day.
All my stufr's been on board for a
week now. You'll want few duds, too,
/ dare say, for the trip"
After hearty meal the two men pro-
ceeded TO the wharf, and as they
reached the scene Of the previous
nights struggle the elder man said.
quietly:
I'm never forget this place MS long
as / live. II those rascals had only
dreamed what | carried with me they'd
have finished their bloody work and I'd
have been down there"
AS he spoke ne pointed significantly
toward the icy water In the dock and
then added:
The money was nothing. but"
He broke of suddenly and led the
way in silence until they reached the
Sessel. where the captain. grizzled old
salt, was pacing the deck and urring
the stevedores TO greater efforts.
The Seabird was trim built craft of
about COO tons. The cook was flying
about the deck in his white apron, the
second mate was hard at work below.
and as the two men stepped on board
the captain said. cheerily:
Good morning, Mr.. Avery. We're
about ready. you see. The wind is fair.
and if nothing happens wen be under
way by dinner time. The mate has
gone back on me and I've sent after
another man."
In few words the miner informed
the old seadog of his adventure the pre-
ceding evening, adding:
This is Mr.. Thomas Scott, who saved
my life. If ii hadn't been for him you'd
have sailed without me, and now you've
got TO take him too. He'll pay the same
as do. and share my stateroom. Is il
bargain?"
Hes welcome" was the curt reply.
"as long as he's to bunk in with you
I've no other spare BERTH
Good" exclaimed Avery. "Come on,
Scott. We'll have to hurry up and get
your stuff"
Toms companion was an old traveller,
and knew exactly what was required
for the voyage, as we'll as where to OBJ
tain it, and when the tug came along
side at noon our hero had well-filled
chest of clothing below, and stood on
deck watching the operation of getting
under way.

shouted a harsh voice near him, and
Tom turned to see a short, thickset
man. busting about and cursing the
sailors roundly. His face was turned
away, but there was something famil-

1t seems strange that no more rapid


advance has been made in the con-
struction of steel passenger cars. 1t
is reported by the Chicago Record
Herald that the only experiment be-
ing made with these latter Is in con-
nection with the suburban traffic of
the Illinois Ceutral. The builders
claim that they cost less than wooden
cars OF the sameN dimensions, are
lighter and practically indestructi-
BILE. The value of these cars as pre-
servers of life In case of wreck can
not be overestimated. The history of
railway disasters shows that, gener-
ally speaking, the strongly construct

silly built passenger coaches, 1t would

The coroner's jury in Chicago held
Mayor Harrison to the grand jury as
being responsible for the Iroquos
theater fire, by his failure to enforce
the city ordinances. But Carter is a
slippery duck, and forthwith went be-
fore a local Judge and had himself re-
leased upon habeas corpus proceed
ings. Mr.. Harrison doubtless figures
that he has been completely vindica-
ted, but the average citizen will go
to his grave with firm conviction
that II the laws had been enforced
the fire never would have occurred.
And the mayor is sworn to enforce
the laws.
