when he was able to connect the cx-
ploits of some Greek or Trojan hero
with the identity of one Of her males

In private they discussed him often,
and common agreement was made
that his wish to remain incOgnito
should he respected. Their nickname

his higher social rank. They feared
lest inquisitivencss should drive him
from their midst, and one supernumer

Trinity tender that Brand was the
nephew Of Il baronct. was roughly bid

catch something he couldn't cat
So Jim now contented himself by re-

"You must not say that" was the
grave response "Thesc things are de-

accident Of fallen sail saved the child
from the cormOrants and other birds;
how chance sea fell into the boat and
kept her alive; how mere idle curiosity
ON my part impelled me to swim out
and Investigate matters"
That's your way Of putin It," Jim
was forced to say. You knew quite

wake or you wouldn't have taken the
knife. An now you won't have word
said about it. At the bombardment Of

~ was after night of lonely
vigil, Itself the elimination of two days
Of hard work, the fierce battle with the
shark had shocked into active existence
the reserve Of latent energy which
every healthy animal unconsciously
boards for life and death emergencies.
But there was another reason. He
had scarce gained the comparative
safety Of the boat before he was, In
the same instant, Mortified and as
founded to a degree hitherto beyond
his experience. Not even the stiff pull
of 200 yards sufficed to restore his
senses. So Jim's question fell on his
ears with the meaningless sound of the
steamers siren.

curiously vacant way.
"A baby" shrieked Jones, stretched
out over the crane above their heads.
"a what-a?" roared the sailor, whose
crudely developed nervous system was
not proof against the Jar Of incredulity
Induced by this statement Had Brand
said "a tiger" he could not have ex-
hibited greater concern.

inch to spare. Here, at sea level, the
Atlantic swell, even in calm weather,
rendered landing or boarding boat a
matter Of activity. At this stage Of the
tide each wave Tapped some portion of
the granite stones and receded quickly
down the slope Of the weed covered
rock.
The gulls and cormorants, filling the
air with raucous cries. were rustling In
rapid flight In the wake Of the boat,
darting ever and anon ut the water or
making daring pecks at the floating
carcass.
Soon Brand glanced over his shout
der to measure the distance With the
ease Of practiced oarsman, he turned
his craft to bring her stern on to the
landing place.

and, while the others wondered what
the urgency in bis voice betokened.
there reached them the deep. strong
blast Of a steam whistle, blown four
times In quick succession.
Each ana all, they had forgotten the
Princess Royal. She was close in,
much nearer than mail steamers usual
" ventured.
At first they gazed at, her with sur
prise, Brand even suspending bis
maneuvers for moment. Then Jim,
knowing that steamship trumpets the
same note to express all sorts Of emo
ton, understood that the officers had
witnessed a good deal. II not all. that
had taken place and were Offering

A nolseless procession Of dim forms
rushed after the carcass. The birds,
shrill with disappointment. darted Off
to scour the neighbOring sea.
Beyond the damaged boat. humping
against the rock. and the huge jaws
with their rows Of wedge shaped teeth,
naught remained to testify to the
drama Of the hour save the helpless
baby on which the head keeper was
waiting SO sedulously.
Already the signal Doctor wanted"

Of Oklahoma city. is very bitter in
handling the capital clause. The fol-
lowing is sample from the Okla
homan
Harry Asp general solicitor for the
Santa Re in Oklahoma, has returned
to Washington His ostensible mis-
sion is TO push the statehood bill,
but the real purpose of his visit is to
prevent the elimination Of the 1915
clause which denies to the people Of
the proposed new state the right to
locate the permanent capital where
tbey please.
AS general solicitor for the Santa
Fe in Oklahoma. Mr.. Asp's time be-
longs TO that railroad He goes where
ever they order him, or wherever their
interests are to be watched and, If
need be. promoted He Is in Wash
ington therefore. in the interest of the
Santa re, and his real purpose, in
stead of pushing the statehood bill'
is to keep the caluse in the bill which
nails the capital to Guthrie forever and

sion
In connection with AFR Asp's osten.
sible object of pushing the statehood
blr' It would be interesting to know
why the Santa Fe Is interested in the
passage of this bill IL not to prevent
the removal Of the capital from the
town in which its chief interests in
this Territory are located As mat
ter of TACT, whoever heard of a roal-
road being in favor of statehood be-
fore? Why is the Santa Fe inter
ested in a proposition which means
more taxes for It to pay. as statehood
undoubtedly meansg And II 1t is not
interested in statehood and more taxes,
what other interest has It in this mat
ter save the capital location clause?
The truth Of the matter is, the
Santa Fe recognizes that statehood
aan he no longer STAYED of and has
decided to accept It and make the
most Of its opportunities under the
new conditions For this reason, it
has sent it's hired man in Oklahoma
10 Washington for the purpose OF con
uivlug a scheme which, while bring
ing statehood. cheats the people out
of their right TO a vote on the loca-
ton OF the permanent capital
Il may be that the santa Re owns
this Territory owns its people, as IL
owns the legislature, and in its pro
