as Travers learns this vessel is going
in the same way as themselves he
smiles, confident that 1t is the one he
chases.
AT length about noon the fog rises
and discloses the beach of Far Rock
away on Long Island. Jacks eyes are
fastened upon the steamer just ahead

The latter talks with some gentle
man-Jack cannot see him well at

strikes his face. and Travers grinds
his teeth in sudden rage.
1t is Howard Spencer, as dashing as
ever, despite his smash-up in Edin-
burgh.
Why does he follow them? Is it be-
cause he is a moth futtering round
the candle? The American who has
just become an, English squire and
forsaken all his rich inheritance to go
chasing after the girl who bears his
name, yet care not whether she be
wife or widow--this man frowns, and
under his breath says dire things

persists in forcing his attentions on

So Jack finds ample time after pass

send All Sin to an hotel, and in an
other reach the Anchor line pier just
as the Anchoria is pushed into her
berth by the noisy little tugs.
He screens himself from observation

passengers as they fall into the hands
of the inspectors.

rather gloomily, as he stands on the
pier and sees the steamer moving to-
ward the upper bay.
He has been looking through his
marine glasses, but although the tall,
arrogant figure of Roblado is readily
discerned, the one he seeks is not in
sight.
That is what gives him fit of the
blues. Jack is not at all the same fel-

Washington, Sept. 15.-Oaicers Of
the State and the Navy departments
yesterday refused to discuss the plan to
send a warship to Nicaragua, as publish
ed in dispatches, yesterday, but at the
same time they are much aroused be-
cause the facts of the matter became
public, and an earnest inquiry has been
set on foot in the two departments to
discover who let the matter out.
Inquiries concerning the vessel that
will be sent to take Minister Merry from
Costa RIGA to Nicaragua are met with
fiat refusals on the part of all officers
to discuss the matter 1t is not beliey-
ed that the orders came from Washing
ton direct from Oyster Bay to take def.
mite action in the case of the Albers
brothers, who are imprisoned in a Me
araguan Jail.
The matter has been regarded as one
necessitating the greatest Of secrecy, and
government officers do not propose tc
allow any further details to become pub
lie. 1t Is thought that Minister Merry
when he reaches Nicaragua will, under
instructions from the department here
make some strong demands Of Nicara,
qua for the relief Of the Alber brothers
There is nothing to indicate whai
vessel will be turned over to Minister
Merry, but it is believed that the gun
boat Princeton, now at Panama, will b
sent on the mission.

When physician tells woman, suf-

that an operation Is necessary 1t, OF
course, frightens her.
The very thought of the operating
table and the knife strikes terror TO
her heart AS one woman expressed
it, when told by her physician that she
must undergo an operation. she felt
that her death knell had sounded.
Our hospitals are full of women
who are there for ovarian or womb
operations
1t is quite true that these troubles
may reach a stage where an operation
is the only resource, but such cases are
much rarer than is generally supposed,
because q great many Women have
been cured by Lydia f.. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound after the doctors
had said an operation must be per-
formed In fact, up to the point where
the knife must be used to secure instant
relief. this medicine is certain to help.
The strongest and most grateful
statements possible to make come from
women who, by taking Lydia E. Pink

escaped serious operations.

Nicaraguan republic. Minister Corea
said:
nAIbers has resided in Nicaragua for

that Albers did have tobacco in his
possession, but refused to pay his tax

i ..For this reason, about the beginning

instructed to demand the tobacco from

LODGE FAvoRs SUBSIDY.
AS Best Method Of Reviving New Eng
land Shipping.

ANU oAaPPmS'
Peabody, Mass, Sept. IA speech
BY Senator Henry Cabot Lodge strongly
advocating subsidies as the best method
Of reyiying New England shipping, and
opening new markets Of trade, was the
feature of a dinner held by Che Essex
club here yesterday. Referring to the
shipping bill he said:
All industries have been protected
except the ship owner. While he has
been allowed to import his materials
free, he has been given only the coast
wise trade, and has been left TO COM
pete with highly protected foreign mer
chant marine
Senator Lodge said that he formerly
believed that it was impossible to give
subsidies owing largely to the prejudice
against them Since the hearings BY
the special committee he had reached
the conclusion that the other remedy,
discriminating duties, would be just as
impraeticable because it would entail
the abrogation Of thirty treaties and
would be most expensive. He explained
that the giving of subsidies would mean
altogether annual expenditures Of about
100000 and that it would not mean
cent Of new taxes to the American
people.

Although the men are formally de-
