those steady qualities that man of

make an admirable match.

run at night, there was no necessity
for accident
The party in the sliff had pulled far
up the river during the afternoon, in
tending to drift down lelsurely with the
current In the twilight. Bartle FAIR,
who never took thought for the future,
insisted on rowing up much farther
than was intended. Margaret Ferris
had endeavored TO check his enthusi-

him to have his way, only warning
him that in case they were caught out
on the river in the dark and anything
happened she would hold him RESPONSE

Twilight was fading into night, and
they were still several miles above the
city drifting down with the current.
Margaret proposed that the men
should take to the oars and was Sec
onded by Baron. Whereupon Farr de-
clared that they were having the best
part OF their excursion and as for him
self he proposed to enjoy it. Baron
took q pair Of oars and began TO row.
at this Farr made curt remark about
bis umidity at being out after dark
Without protector. Baron made no
reply, but kept ON pulling.
When tie night settled down upon
them Farr and Miss Ferris were in the

two gunwales, Miss Ferris sitting on

voice shouted Get out of the way for

In another moment John Baron rec
ognized the dim outline Of a nitroglyc-
erin boat coming straight for the
skiff. At the same moment Farr. who
had risen to see what was coming, rec
ognized the danger He plunged into
the water and dived to avert the com
ing explosion. Baron, putting all IFS
strength into one supreme effort, gave
two strokes with the port oar, and be.

The men on the boat had been running

ing upon the skiff, after shouting q
warning, had jumped overheard. The
situation after the danger mad passed

FAIR FOR

Sargent's Proposition to Dis
tribute Incoming Aliens.
1T MAY COST Sl,OOO,OOO
Commissioner General of Immigra-
ton Will ASK Congress
for an Appropria-
ton.

f. 2. Sargent, commissioner general
of immigration, will ask congress upon
its reassembing for an appropriation
to be devoted to the construction of an
exhibition hall at Ellis island in which
the industrial resources of the different
states may be displayed for the benefit
of the newly landed alien, that he
may determine for himself just what
locality best fits his abilities, says the
New York Times
Announcement to this effect has
been made by Robert Watchorn, the
commissioner III charge at Ellis island,
after long conference with tha CONF
missioner general, who was in New
York d few days ago. just how large
an appropriation will be asked has not
yet been determined upon, but before
the hall is completed and the exhib-
its installed ii is likely that more than
100000 will be spent Indeed, this
figure Is rather conservative. for il will
be necessary to make the ground for
the han, there being no room for it on
the island
There is not the slightest doubt IN
my mind" said Mr.. N,atehsern. that
the hall will be erected. Mr.. Sargent
was never more in earnest about any
thing, and congress comes pretty close
to realizing that he never asks for any
thing to which the service Is not enti-
tied
ITO my mind, the display Of the re-
sources OF the different states will go
a long way toward solving the immi-
grafton problem by diverting aliens
from the congested cities and sending
them where they are really needed. IL

evening Mr. Cooke received from them
