"In a word. Jones. you can hardly he
asked to assume such n responsibility.
Now, it happens that | can afford to
adopt the child If she lives and Is not
claimed by relatives. 1t Is almost a
duty imposed on me by events. When
the doctor comes. therefore, | purpose
asking him to see that she Is handed
over to Mrs. Sheppard, the nurse who
looks after my own little girl. l will
write to her. My turn ashore comes
next week. Then l can devote some
time to the necessary inquiries"
Jones made no protest. He knew
that Brands suggestion was a good
one, and he promised silence with re-
gard to the fight with the shark. Men
In the lighthouse service are quick to
grasp the motives which cause others
to avoid publicity. They live sedate,
lonely lives. The noise, the rush, the
purposeless activities of existence
ashore weary them. They have been
to send them back to isolated stations
when promoted to localities where the
pleasures and excitements Of a town
were available.
Having determined the immediate fu-
ture OF little "E. t." whose %shrunken
features were now placid in sleep. they
quietly separated. Brand flung himself
YEARLY into q bunk to obtain a much
needed rest, and the others hurried to
overtake the many duties awaiting
them.
Weather reports and daily journals
demanded instant attention. The oil
expenditure, the breakage OF glass
chimneys, the consumption of stores,
the meteorological recOrds-all must be
noted. An efficient lookout must be
maintained, signals answered or hoist
ed, everything kept spotlessly clean
and meals cooked. Until moor each day
a rock lighthouse Is the scene of I'M
renting diligence, and the loss OF
nearly an hour and a half Of Spence's
watch, added to the presence of tho
baby and the constant care which one
or other of the two men bestowed OF
her, made the remaining time doubly
precious.
About o o'clock Brand was awaken
ed from a heavy slumber by Jim'i
hearty voice:
Breakfast ready, cap'n. Corfee
eggs an haddlck-ft for the queen
God bless her! An baby's had another
pint Of Jones' brew-Lord love her lit
tie eyes, though | haven't seen EN- yet
A mint ago Jones sung down to IN
that the Lancclot has just cleared
earn du."
The concluding statement brought
Brand to his feet. The doctor woult
be on the rock by the time breakfas
was ended and the letter to Mrs
Sheppard written.
When the doctor did arrive he SHOOT
his head obviously at first sight of tn
child.
IL don't know how she lived. She 1
a mere skeleton he said.
Brand explained matters and hinte'
f. at his theory.
The Red Cloud chief., 1906-07-06

A noiseless procession of dim forms
rushed after the carcass. The birds,
shrlll with disappointment, darted Off
to the nelghboring sea.
Beyond the damaged boat, humping
against the rock, and the huge jaws
with their row Of wedge shaped teeth,
naught remained to testify to the
drama Of the hour save the helpless
baby on which the head keeper vas
waiting so sedulously.
Already the signal Doctor wanted"
was iuttering from the lighthouse flag
staff. 1t would be noted at the Lands
End and telegraphed to P%enzance.
The morning would be well advanced
before help could reach the Gulf Rock
from ashore.
When Brand and Spence entered
Jones bedroom they found him hard
Mt work washing the child's clothing.
''She's asleep" he said, jerking his
head toward a bunk. II gev' her a
pint of mixture. She cried q bit when
there was no more to be had, but a
warm bath with some borlc acid in II
made her sleepy. An there she Is,
snug as a cat"
The domesticated Jones was up to
his elbows In a lather of soap.
"Have you noticed any laundry
marks or initials on her c~lothingT'
! asked Brand.
"Yes. Here you are"
He ished out of the bubbles q little
vest, on which were worked the letters
Il. Il. in white silk.
"Ah! That is very important. We
can establish her identity, especially II
the laundry mark is there also"
I'm feared there's nothing else,"
said Jones. 1--WE not looked very care
fully, as it'll take me all my time tC
get everything dry afore the tug comes
AS for %ironin', it can't be done. Blu
my missus II see after her until some
body turns up to claim her."
"That may be never"
'Surely we will get some news of thu
ship which was lost!'
"Yes,. that is little enough to expect

ooh, the ways of nature are wonder
full admitted the doctor. sometimes
a man will die from an absurdly trivial
thing, Ike the sting of a wasp or the
cutting of a finger. At Others you can
fling him headlong from the Alps and
he will merely suffer a bruise or two.
OF course, this infant has an excep-
tionally strong constitution or she
would have died days ago. However,
you have done right so far. l will see
TO her proper nourishment during the
next few days. 1t IL a most extraor-
binary case"
Jones had managed so well that the
chlld's garments were dry and we'll
aired. Wrapped In a clean blanket,
she was lowered into the steamers
boat, but the doctor, preferring to
jump, was soaked to the waist owing
to a slip on the weed covered rock.
The crew of the tugboat bailed out
the derelict and lowed her to Pen
zance.
That evening a fisherman brought q
note from Mrs. Sheppard. Among 9TH
er things. she wrote that the baby's
clothes were beautifully made and OF
a very expensive type. She was fever
ish, the doctor said, but the condition
of her Eyes and lips would account for
this, apart from the effects of prOlong-
ed exposure.
Brand read the letter to his mates
when the trio were enjoying an evan-
ing pipe on the promenade" the outer
balcony under the lantern.
"S'pose her people don't show up"
observed Jim. "what are you goln' to
call her?"
"Trevilllon," said Brand.
The others gaZed at him with sur
prise. The prompt announcement was
unexpected.
II have told you about the tabled
land of Lyonnesse lying there beneath
the sea- he went on, pointing to the
dark blue eypanse on whose distant
confines the Sicily isles were silhou-
cited by the last glow Of the vanished
sun. well, the name of the only per-
son who escaped from that minor del
uge was Trevillion. 1t Is suitable, and
II accords with the initial of her prob
able surname"

THAT'S o. X. for the IT," remarked
Jim, but what about the 'ET" Eliza

81 think we should keep up the idea
Of the Arthurian legend. There are
two that come to my mind, Elaine and
Enid. Elaine died young, the victim
of an unhappy love. Enid became the
wife of a gallant knight, Gawain, who
was
Ever foremost In the chase
And victor at the tilt and tournament;
They called him the great prince and man
of men.
But Enid, whom her ladies loved to call
Enid the Fair, a grateful people named

POLITICS IN KENTUCKY.
Blackburn Forces VIII Support Hays
for Governor.

The bewilderlng situation in which the
democrats of Kentucky have found them
selves during the past few days, on the
eve of a gubernatorial and senatorial cam
paign, was in a measure clarified last
evening when, after O. lengthy caucus, 1t
was announced that Napoleon B. Hays
attorney general, will receive the support
Of the combined Blackburn and McCreary
forces for governor. The only other an
nounced candidate thus far Is State Auditor
Samuel W. Hager, but the tickets at the
forthcoming state and senatorial primaries
are by no means made UP.
Gov. Beckham some time ago announced
himself as a candidate for the United
States Senate to succeed ]. b. McCreary.
whose term expires in 1909. A primary to
take the sentiment of the voters will be
held simultaneously with the general cleo
ton in November
AS the situation now stands 1t would
appear that there are two anti-Beckham
combinations at work that of Judge Hines.
which apparently dominates the state CEN
trail committee and the party machinery,
and the Blackburn-McCreary organization.
Although Judge Hines and his friends
are said to favor Hager. the governor is
also sail to be friendly with the auditor 8
candidacy. Politicians consider 1t more
likely that Gov Beckham and the Hines
organization will patch up their differences
than that the governor will bring out a
third candidate for the governorship.

SAN FRANCISCO INSURANCE.
Earthquake Clause Stumbling Block
in Adjusting Settlements.

Roger Owen, manager of the Commercial
Union Insurance Company of London, who
arrived in San Francisco a few days ago
with other British agents to investigate
the local situation, said regarding the
earthquake clause in the company's pol
icies:
IF you ask me personally whether the
earthquake clause applies to our losses In
San Francisco I would tell you that it does
SO apply. But, officially, we cannot speak
at this time, because We have not all the
facts OF course, If we can prove that the
fires in the city were caused by earth
quake. then. we are advised. we are not
liable for the losses.
Continuing he said:
1.-THE directors are acting in the position
OF trustees. They have no power to ac'
beyond their contract They have no more
right to cheat the shareholders of their In
terests or property than have any one In
the United States to confiscate private
property without due process of law. we
propose fair treatment for all. Our deci-
sion will be announced by publication as

MANNIX AND SCOTT

nomination for county auditor. Mr..
Scott is a candidate for denomination
after six years service, while Mr..

Mannix learned the wav to the
auditor s office two years ago, when he
invested $40 and pulled out a seat in

introduced several bills during the ses-
sion, and when he dropped into the
auditors office Yesterday he had an
other bill in his hand, marked "X.O
Scott had some premonition of his de-
signs, and instead of the leaving the
transaction to a clerk, brushed to the
desk and did the honors himself, taking
the $40 and seeing to it personally that
his rival got properly entered. They
had no difficulty in agreeing about the
weather, and then Mannix said: ~
Hugh, I am going to make a quiet,
clean canvass for this nomination, and

to prevent us from being good friends.
At any rate, If you hear at any time
