One by one these monsters began to
move, bending in graceful bows before

apparently toward us, while another
astern came up but some distance off;
none farther than fourth of a mile
away The wind that started this
ghostly fleet into life was Our salvation,
as it gave us Roadway SO that we got
the smack about and headed to the
northeast, and saw the spout cross the
spot we had been lying in, so near us
that the spray whirled from the watery
mass came down like heavy rain. The
five spouts sailed majestically away be-
fore the wind, seemingly with an inteli-
gence of their own. Why they did not
collide was a mystery. As we turned
into the harbor, sheet well out, rushing
in under the bright sunlight, we saw the
five pillars, black as jet, "hull down, "
on the horizon to the east.

In a manner that appeared to be acct

to assert a dish of salad and cup of

pretty much all of him from his head

Wasn't Braggy sight?" Maxwell
and Fearing would exclaim in chorus.
He was" Farnham would affirm.
His chalky face was notified with green
and yellow creases as the punch and salad
ambled down it Patches of mayonnaise
with lettuce background studded his
hair, and rivulets of good punch ran
down his shirt-front and waistcoat
Blake and Braggy just looked at
each other; no more was needed. Braggy
understood it perfectly. We learned
afterward that he was just as anxious
for an opportunity to challenge Blake
as the latter was to be challenged.
Braggy manifestly couldn't linger as he
was. and he went away almost imme-
diately. After they all had gone Blake
seized each of us in turn, and then all
together and danced us around the room.
What is it?' we asked out of breath.
What's the game? What are we going
to fight him WITH
"A barrel of gunpowder,' he replied.
A barrel of gunpowder?' we shouted,
aghast
Yes, that's it, he insisted . a barrel,
or rather a key, of gunpowder Braggy
will send his friends around tomorrow
with a challenge. You will accept for
me and tell them that the conditions are
that Braggy and l sit beside an open keg
of gunpowder, in which lighted candle
is burning, for half an hour, the candle
to be of a length that will enable it to
burn into the powder just at the expira-

THAT is, if the wind doesn't blow the

Time and placer we asked.
Day after tomorrow, open field near
the Champ de Mars, daylight, said Blake.
Braggy's friends came around the
next day. When we placed our propo-
sition before them they lost the power
of speech. When they regained it, they
asked us to stop joking. We told them
it was gunpowder or nothing They said
the duke would never consent to risk his
life in such a harebrained wav, and we
told them our mans chances of being
blown into srnithereens were Just as good
as theirs. We advised them that it
would be well to engage the services of

was extremely unlikely that there would
be anything to preserve. When they
became angry, we told them that we

it in the black grains, we retired to a
respectable distance and awaited devel-
opments. Maxwell had field-glass with
him. and he called out the movements
of Braggy and Blake just as the an

to do more than gasp for breath.
Blake sauntered in when the half
hour was up as if sitting beside lighted
candle in key of powder was beloved

he might not be able to extricate him

in the case to make confession of his
identity.

answered.
This being considered equivalent to
an acknowledgment, the lawyer for the

court room and the little room in

toward Percy with the air of one about

Profits of the Pnckern.

There has been great deal OF dis
port shows that the profits of the
packing industry only amount to
about two per cent. of the volume Of
business transacted There Is nc
doubt, however, that the report is cor
rect.
The census reports compiled by the
government In 1900, before the aeita'
rion regarding the beef trust" began,
throw considerable light on this ques'
tion. 1t appears from the census that
the packing industry Is conducted on
a smaller margin of gross profit than
any other industry in America. The
gross margin Of profit of S7l flour and
grist mills in Illinois, in the census
year, was nearly seven per cent. on the
volume of business. The gross margin
of fifty.one wholesale slaushtering and
meat packing establishments in Hi
nois was only about one-third as large,
or a little more than two per cent. on
the volume Of business.
The millers have not been accused
of being in a trust" and oombina-
tions would seem impossible in busl'
ness where there are several thousand
mills in the United States competing
actively for the -four trade, but it ap-
pears that the gross profits of the mill
ers are larger than the gross profits OF
the packers. II may turn out that the
agitation regarding the packing indus
try will show the same result as the
devil found in shearing the pig: "All
goueal and no wool"
