The row walked the Niger from his sui

himself with a start; his eye fell surprised
ly on the combatants. then lit up with an
unholy Joy. He drew his knife and crept
down on the fighters 1t was too good an
opportunity to pay off the Mexican.
But Thrackles interfered sharply.

blows. the tear Of cloth. and grunts Of

"Stop!' he shrieked in his high, falsetto
voice.
And would you believe 1t, even through
the blood haze of their combat the men
heard him, and needed. They drew reluc-
family apart, got to their feet. stood look

submissive and half-defiant. The bull

Scrubs looked at him.

He menaced them one after another with
his eyes, and one after another they quailed.
All their plottings, their threats, their dan
gerousness dissipated like mist before the
command of this one resolute man. These
pirates who had seemed SO dreadful to me,
now were nothing more than cringing
schoolboys before their master.
And then suddenly to my horror I. watch
ing closely. saw the captains eye turn
blank I am sure the men must have felt
the change, though certainly they were too
far away to see 1t, for they shifted by ever
so little from their first frozen attitude.
The captains hand sought his pocket, and
they froze again, but instead of the ex-
pected revolver, he produced half-full
brandy bottle.
The change in his eyes had crept into his
features They had turned foolishly amia-
ble vacant, confiding.

caught himself and advanced toward them,
still with the empty smile.
They stared at him for ten seconds, quite
at a loss. Then: :

breathed, scarcely louder than whisper.
There was no other signal given. They
sprang as with a single impulse One In
slant 1 saw clear against the waning day

Capt Selover: the next it had disappeared,

Wadsworth Won Out Over Hughes

ALBANY, N. Y, June 27.-After a session
Of twenty-six weeks duration. the legisla-
ture adjourned yesterday without date.
With one exception, the session was the
longest in the legislatures history. No
senate district reapportionment bill was
passed, although the court of appeals has
decided that the last reapportionment was
unconstitutional, because 1t violated the
requisite conditions of population and con-
tiguity of territory. A bill having the
sanction of Gov Hughes was passed by the
senate about month ago. but 1t was de-
feated in the assembly because of opposi-
ton by Speaker Wadsworth. A special
m ssage from the governor urging the legis-
lature to effect a reapportionment before
adJourning finally was of no effect. 1t IS
claimed that reapportionment by a spe-
cial session of the Legislature would be IL

Lightning Stops Signals.

GREENWICH, Conn, June 27.-During
the thunder storm yesterday afternoon
lightning struck the signal tower located
near the Cos Cob power station of the
New Haven railroad and set the roof on
fire. Superintendent Julius Beermann first
noticed the flames. He rushed to the
power station and, obtaining the emergency
fire hose, climbed to the roof, which was
now all ablaze and with the assistance of
a few ironworkers eXtinguished the blaze.
The damage to the tower was sufficient to
prevent the use of the signals for an in
definite period. The heat melted the wires
SO that they are unfit for use.
