CHAPTER VIII

Is the weeks and months went on
~ the results of Guilford Dun
cans work completely justified
"A N the confident assertion he had
made to Captain Hallam that a capa-
BILE man can learn anything if he really
wants to.
He rapidly familiarized himself with
the technicalities as we'll as with the
methods and broad principles of bust
ness. He sat up till midnight for many
nights in succession in order to learn
from the head bookkeeper the rather
scant mysteries Of bookkeeping. By
observing the gaugers who measured
coal barges to determine their contents
he quickly acquired skill in doing that.
1t was so with everything. He was
determined to master every art and
mystery that in anywise pertained to
business, whether the skill in question
was or was not one that he was ever
likely to need or to practice.
His diligence, his conscientiousness
in work, his readiness Of resource, his
alert intelligence and his sturdy in
tegrity daily commended him more
and more to the head of the firm, and
not many months had passed before
every one in the, office tacitly recogniz-
ed the young Virginian as the conf
Dental adviser and assistant of Cap
tain Hallam himself, though no formal
appointment of that kind had been
made.

Tobacco Leaves.

A scientist writes: ''The essential
quality for which tobacco is smoked or
chewed lies not really in the leaves
themselves, but is contained in thou
sands Of hollow knobbed hairs which
cover their surface. The vital nicotine
is garnered in these pear-like balls, but
as it is impossible to shave off these
hairs and would be scarcely COM
mendable achievement if it could be
undertaken it becomes necessary to
preserve the whole foliage for COM
mercial purposes

"Why, I cannot help seeing that if

"Well, by going on her bond for this

then, that's the reason. It's Just be-
cause he is that sort that he hasn't
bothered about an increase of salary.

before In all my life. 1t will startle
the Office people out of their wits, but
they need startling, and as for their
wits, well"-
Obviously young Duncan's perform
ance of that stormy night had awak-
ened Captain Hallam to enthusiasm.
He was not much given to enthusi-
asms, but this one was thoroughly
genuine.
Yes, by George" he said between
his clinched teeth, "I'll multiply that
fellows salary by three and let the Of
fee people wonder! Perhaps it will
give them hint. No, it won't. Or at
least they won't take a hint. But,
anyhow, I'll do it if only for what the

LAS you own the cargo and she can't
carry another ton, why should you let
her stop at all? suppose the captain
would do as you desire in that mat

The captain understood. After half
an hour spent in legal formalities the
released steamboat cast loose from the
wharf and backed out into the river.
Then Captain Hallam turned to Gull
ford Duncan and said:

Nowhere. 1 get what I want to eat

"But where do you sleep?''
Among the big lumber piles down
there on Fourth street,
Captain Hallam looked at the young
man for a moment with something like
admiration in his eyes. Presently he
said:
''You must live better now. There's

view of suggestions in the foreign
press regarding the coming policy of
the Government, founded on rumors
current here, it is semi officially stated
that it would be great mistake to
suppose that revolutionary terrorism
will be met by terrorism on the part
of the Government, which always will
be able TO distinguish between legal op-
position and enemies determined to
nullify the law, whether by propa-
ganda or by passive resistance.
A propaganda has its own means of
struggling, whether through the press
or by meeting: but disturbances OF or
der will be prosecuted sternlv whatever
ideas are professcd. The Government
has sufficient means, the statement con
tinucs, of suppressing illegal acts, but
suppressing is not the only aim; the
first problem being the prenaration of
bills to be presented In Parliament for
the settlement of pressing questions in
legal manner. The statement con
cudes as follows:
Revolutionists may try TO destroy
the work Of the Government. but finally
they must fail, as the Government can.
not refrain from the fulfillment of re-
forms simply because one statesman or
another NAV be replaced -

FINDS NOTED PAINTING
Ogden Man Locates Picture of Great
Historical Interest.

RENO, New, Aug. 2S.-A picture
which depicts a bit of early California
history. painted by the noted artist
Trousett, and in which is bound up an
interesting episode in the life OF that
artist, has been recently located in Col
conda, New, by Don Mcguire of Ogden.
The painting shows the first mass
ever celebrated in California. 1t dis
closes Junipero Serr, under the historic
oak tree at Monterey, surrounded by
his officers and curious Indians, while
beneath a canopy. the priests are seen
performing their holy Office.
The picture was found by Mcguire
hanging on the wall of little hotel
The owner, Louis Dutertre, won the
picture at a rattle held thirty years ago,
when the artist in San Francisco was
reduced in circumstances. Father
Montgomery and other noted Catholic
clergy in that city were unsuccessful
purchasers of tickets. The painting is
being shipped to James A. Murray of
Monterey
