dressed in the garments of a bishop
was in reality a safe robber, and that
the big man in furs who paced the
deck and VINO had all the marks of a
blue blooded plutocrat, was in reality

the bishop up. Nobody thought of the
man in 1913 and the middle aged wom-
an in 12e. Nor, apparently, did they
think each of the other.
But as the steamer neared the end
of her journey, each in his and her
way felt that a crisis was approach
ing. Atkinson OF 29S became on his
side the calmer; apparently he had
not a care In the world, and II he had
had at the outset of the voyage the
sea air had steadied his nerves. The
woman on the other hand was nerv-
GUS. She showed her excitement by
the many time she kept clasping and
unclasping the reticule she carried.
Once or twice the captain, to get
a good look at her, stepped close. and
asked her some commonplace ques-
ton.

The woman shook her head. "But,"

She smiled family. The captain
brought the milk and" 1t did her
a world of good. But on his way back
the captain plucked Atkinson by the
sleeve.
She's a man sall right" ne said,
land a sharp one at that. You've got
to look out for her."
I'm looking" replied Atkinson.
The captain moved along. I'm a
pretty sharp piece of work myself"
unused Atkinson.
Thirty-six hours later the steamer
was being warped into her deck. Her
passengers crowded about the rail.
OF all the passengers, two We're intent
upon every small detail. One of these
two was Atkinson. The other was
the woman.
Four men on the dock moved for
ward. They were heavily built fellows
whose only business, apparently, was
to lounge about the pier. They would
glance casually in turn at the passen-
gers above
But their interest seemed casual and
nothing else. Once they glanced at
the captain and some movement on
his part attracted their attention.
Lazily their eyes turned toward the
figure of a woman on the deck. The
woman was Sarah Sanderson of 129
Not once, however, did they look at
Atkinson, though he kept his eye con-
stantly upon them and upon the wo-
man.
Here and there a seaman worked his
way through the crowd and stood hall

captain.

scratched his head. Have you spotted

side.

he inquired, do you think you could

puffed and pulled and puffed.

GEOGRAPHICAL
ROMANCES
Beautiful Stories Hidden Behind
Some American Names.

To inquire into the history of the
name of the city, village, county or
State in which they live is an inter
esting thing for any boy or girl, and
such an inquiry will give them bits of
valuable information which they
would not be likely to acquire in any
other way unless they became pains
taking historians.
Every geographical name has a
story attached to it, and most of these
stories are worth knowing. Even if
the modern name of a place is one of
little meaning, applied arbitrarily be-
cause it sounds well, there is almost
always behind it an older name which
tells a story.
One of the prettiest names of an
American State is Alabama. The
state takes its title from the river of
the same name. Years and years ago
some Indians were attacked by
more powerful tribe and driven from
their homes in the east toward the
setting sun. For a long time their
Toes pursued them though the for
ests, constantly harassing them.
FINALLY, the pursuers dropped off

Mr.. Solomon Shandy was great in
the line of graft He was great be-
cause he was invariably the pioneer,
the inventor of new games. He set
the styles in sgyindles. Few know
that Mr.. Shandy was the originator
of the great green goods game; but
he was. He was the only original
wire Taper, too. But the public does
not know these things, because just
as soon as the police departments
learned that there was new move
,nent on foot. Mr.. Shandy immediate
ly dropped it.
Shandy's present graft was quite
as great and novel as any he had ever
set ON foot. 1t consisted in reducing
sbe amount of checks. All over the
ar raising the amounts on checks; 1t
aook a Shandy TO reverse the process
and make it pay. For instance:
Mccormick the board member of
Mccormick, Hunt & Biddle, went on
Change one day and bought in open
market of Jones & Birdsall 100 c. It.
A. Mccormick, Hunt & Biddle were
important bankers and brokers, and so
were Jones & Birdsall Their dealings
were enormous. The price of the 100
c. T. A. was just $3.50. 1t was pay
able at p. IN. on the following day.
Payments were made after this fash
ion: The messenger of Jones g. Bird
san attended at the office of McCor-
mick. Hunt & Biddle, and from his
wallet selected the certificates of stock
due the latter firm. He had, perhaps,
fifty others for delivery to other firms.
He entered the delivery room of Nc
Cormick, Hunt & Biddle - a room
consisting of four hard wood walls,
with a shelf and a slit on one side.
HE showed the certificates through
the slit, and poking his nose Gf it
were long enough through the slit
at the same time, he informed the
representative inside that he would
be back in half an hour. Then he left.
He had delivered the certificates, but
he had no check. This transaction
takes place everywhere in the Wall
street district every day at O'Clock.
Upon the occasion in question a man
bearing the ssmblance of Mr.. Solo
mon Shandy was in the room when the
messenger delivered the certifica ties. He
was seated on a bench smoking a cigar.
He was at peace with all the world
From time TO time messengers would
enter and deliver certificates or snatch
checks from the window. Mr.. Shandy
he approached the slit, and in a pleas
ant voice inquired whether the check
for Jones & Birdsau had been signed
There was no audible answer, but in a
few seconds there was a swish, and
she Jones' Birdsall check came sliding
through the slit, and Mr.. Shandy pick
ed il up and put it in his pocket. Then
he walked out.
The situation was now quite unique.

senger was out upon his rounds. Ana
Shandy had the check. What could
Solomon Shandy do with a check for

Nothing. He quite appreciated that
fact. 1t was at this stage of the gam

The original meaning of the name
Drake is leader of men.
1t is derived from the Latin Drago,
or Draco, and Roman standard-bear-
ers were always called Draconarii.
The Romans got the name from the
Greeks, among whom it was found as
early at 600 B. c., when Draco, the
celebrated Athenian legislator, drew
up the code of laws for the govern
ment of the people which bore his
name. lie Drak was the old Gaelic
form of his name.
Soon after the conquest of Wessex
by the SaXons, family or clan, called
Drago, took possession of an old Ro-
man encampment in Devon county,
which became known as Mt. Drake.
From this family all of the name
are probably descended.
Six estates are mentioned in Domes-
day book as owned by the family One
of the principal homes was Musbury
Castle on Mt. Drake, with its church
and mortuary chapel, which was final
ly heightened into an aisle called
Drake Aisle" which the family with
their retadners and servants always
occupied. This was in the reign of
Charles l. The rector of the church
at that time was named Drake, and
ALL or nearly all, of the 100 inhabitants
of the town of Musbury were OF this
name, or had married into the Drake
family.
In Ireland the brakes stronghold
was Drakerath, brakes Fort" In
Germany it was Drakenborchs,
brakes OF the fortress"
A John Drake was Mayor OF Dub
lin in 1902 Besides statesmen, men
of letters and knights, there was also
a martyr in the family, Robert Drake,
who was burned at the stake during
Queen Marys reign.
1t must also be noted that the great
John Churchill, Duke of Marlborough,
was the son Of Elizabeth Drake, and
Sir Winston Churchill, and Sir Walter
Raleigh claimed connection, IL not re-
lationship. with the family, his step
mother being Alice Drake,
Richard Drake was equerry to Queen
Elizabeth, and it was she who made
the great Sir Francis Drake a knight
She further honored him by dining

aboard his ship when he returned to
England after his triumph to Cadiz
harbor, where he destroyed the 100
ships which had been destined for the
overthrow of England.
Even as long ago as the sixteenth
century, although millions" was not
the familiar term that 1t is now, one
of the Spanish ships captured by Drake
in South American waters was laden
with gold, silver and precious stones
to the value of $3.00O,000. Numerous
attempts have been made at different
times by heirs OF the great navigator
10 recover some of his vast fortune.
AS he had eleven brothers the heirs
to his estate are numerous.
