ROMANTIC STORY OF THE
CHASE FOR SMUGGLERS

ing taken on full store of provisions, the
Frolic weighed anchor and sailed out of
Boston harbor, bound for Nova Scotia,
where she was, so far as some of the crew
and outsiders knew, to take on an English
scientist and his party, bent on the eX-
ploration of Labrador. On September 2
the yacht came to anchor off Lunenburg,
Nova Scotia, and Captain Colby went
ashore.
Two hours later he returned and an
nounced that the exploration of Labrador
had been abandoned. That night canvas
was again spread, and the yacht was
headed for Placentia Bay.
At midnight of September 20 forty two
Cinnamon were stealthiy brought aboard
and stored safely away beneath the
matches of the little craft. AT daybreak
the schooner put 10 sea.
When they reached St. Pierre, Miguelon,
the French customs officials being some
what suspicious of the Frolic. rowed out
and demanded to inspect the papers. The
manifests which were shown called for
merchandise in the hold, but the French
officials, still unsatshed, took the papers
and rowed ashore. The cutter ground on
the beach, the E'rolic crowded on sail, and
before anything could be done to stop her
was standing out to the open sea, sailing
without orders of any kind.
scarcely was the little AZ Scooter away
before a gale struck her, driving her fifty
miles out of her course and tearing away
her bowsprit After laying IN near shore
until repairs could be made, she again
put out, with Providence her destna-
ton. By this time the United States au-
thorities were fully aware OF the move
ments of the daring vessel. Revenue cut
ters were securing the sea for her and
lighthouse-keepersa and life-saVers were on
the constant lookout for her: but never
once was the phantom ship discovered.
On Tuesday evening at 10 o'clock, as
boldly as IL she were a revenue cutter,
the Frolic sailed confidently into Provi-
dence river, and lay at anchor unmolested
throughout the day. Early the next NORM
ing. with the utmost secrecy, the Illicit
cargo of Chinese, Yens, LIS and Wings
were safely put ashore and all seemed
well for the Frolc and her audaclous
crew. And but for the carelessness Of
some of the Chinese. the whole outfit
might have made their escape. By mere
chance employee Of a coal company
stumbled on two Of the celestials and i'm
mediately spread the alarm.
By breakfast time Is of the AZ had been
taken into custody. officers had swooped
down on the little yacht as she lay ut an
Choir and taken her and three of her crew
into their clutches. But the hero of the
whole story. the daring Colby. who had
lured his crew on board. thrown defiance
at the French officials and sailed into
port without disguise and in broad day
light made good his escape.
The scene Of the remainder Of the story
win be laid in the courts of Boston. But
for that we have no need, since story
the end was reached when the captain
made his escape.

Filling a Tire With Sand.

From the Motor World.
A party of tourists who found them
selves quite few miles from nowhere
with a tube we'll beyond repair, and MOTH
ing to take its place, hit upon an ex-
pedient, which If not one deserving to be
highly recommended to others who find
themselves in a similar predicament, at
least served its purpose of avoiding a
badly rim cut shoe as well as bent rim.
With a tube that was little more than
scrap rubber and no spare at hand, 1t
was either a question of driving on the
rim or not at all The road was rough
and uneven with more or less rock, SO
that even a few miles would mean the
end of the rim 1t was down in southern
New Jersey, where sand and pine trees
abound, and the shoe was carefully
backed full of the former material all the
way round and carefully replaced on the
rim so as to permit none of 1t to escape.
As a substitute for compressed air 1t had
the disadvantages of bulk, weight and
stiffness, but it served the end desired
by preventing the shoe from fiattening
and rim cutting and the rim itself from
being ruined

Art RecIaims Dark Room.

From an Exchange.
What an artistic torch can do with
commonplace gas logs and a pair of brass
andirons is portrayed forcibly in the old
fashioned home of young Mrs. Cabot
Lodge in Washington. One of the draw
ing rooms is a dark, dreary apartment,
which at first glance seemed hopeless.
But a big fireplace wa slined with deep
red tiles. and big gas logs were piled on
bright, massive brass dogs, A mirror was
placed opposite the fireplace, and another
where it received the reflection and
then a series of mirrors going into the
halls and the whole suite on what the
French would call the entresol The
effect is brilliant and enlivening, and,
with the aid of rich hangings, and a few
rugs, the entire house is transformed.
Mrs. Lodge hash cen kept busy by her
friends, who have similar dark places,
suggesting and arranging, and The pretty
fashion bids fair to be the vogue.

handing expression through snoring,
which to us has ever seemed reprehens-
