he informed the night patrolmap that
he was 'no farmer but the best lum-
berjack In the whole state" and
sprang off the dock and began sWimm-
ing around in the lake just to show
he was as good rs his word. Tired Of
this he swan to the piling and
climbed mp this to the dock.
Taking the duck in the cold water of
the lake in the condition he was in
was a difficult feat In itself, but the
man was also loaded down with a
heavy mackinaw suit and lumberman's
boots. Had he been less expert in
swimming he might have lost his life.
He was taken mp town and put over
the boiler Of the planning mill to dry

Puzzled and troubled, Bradley ex-
tended his hand, and the captain
clasped it firmly in his own. For
moment it seemed that he was about
to say something more, but he did not.
Giving the second mates hand
squeeze, he dropped it and settled
back in his chair, smoking and appar-

back. "You be thankful you amt got
any. And here" the tone was almost
savage. You take my advice and
obey orders, and don't ask questions"
He went on deck Immediately and,
after moment, Bradley followed him.
The rebuff was so unexpected and so
undeserved, the circumstances con-
sidered, that it hurt the young man
keenly. His pride was touched, and
he made up his mind that Captain Tit
comb should have no further cause for
complaint so far as interference by his
second officer was concerned. AS for
the captain, he kept to himself and said
little to any one during the afternoon.
The new first mate came on board
that evening. He was a thick set,
heavy man, who talked a great deal.
ewore profuseIy anu laughed loudly at
his own jokes. He seemed to know his
business and. as the captain would
have said, caught hold at once.
They sailed the next morning, and,
by the time the tug left them. Bradley
fancied that he noticed a difference in
the state Of affairs aboard the schooner
The usual rigid discipline seemed to be
lacking. There was no rebellion OF
sign of mutiny, but merely a general
shiftlessness that Mr.. Burke did not
seem to notice. Strange to say, Captain
Titcomb did not notice it either. or, if
he did, said nothing. Bradley did not
interfere. He had not forgotten the
advice to "obey orders and ask no
questions
There was good wind and smooth
sea, and the captain drove the Thomas
Doane for all she was worth. BY the
afternoon OF the following day they
were in Vineyard sound. Bradley's
suspicious had by this time come to be
almost certainties. For two or three
sailors to show signs of drunkenness
on the first morning out of port was
nothing strange, but to have those
symptoms more pronounced the even
ing of the second day was proof that
there were bottles in the fo'caStle. But
Captain Titcomb, usually the first to
scent the presence of these abomina-
tons and to punish their owners, now,
apparently. was unaware of their pres
ence- And the first mate, too, either
did not see or did not care.
Bradley was standing by the fo'castle
just at dusk that evening when a sailor
bumped violently into him in passing.
The second mate spoke sharply to the
offender. and the answer he received
was impudent and surly.
Here you,' exclaimed Bradley, seiz-
ing the man by the shoulder and whirl-
ing him violently around, do you know
who you're talking TO? Speak to me
again like that, and I'll break you in
two
The mamie was new hand-mum-
bled reply to the effect that he
hadn't meant TO say nothin''
We'll. don't say it again. Stand up.
You're drunk. Now, where did you get
your liquor:"
Amt got none, SIR
You're liar. Stand up or you'll lie
down for good while. Anybody with

ton. but Bradley choked it on and

LOWEST SINCE 1891
Precipitate Decline in Prices on
New York Stock Exchange.
BANK CONDITIONS BLAMED
Investigation by Clearinghouse Com.
mIttee and Rumors Regarding the
Possible Outcome the Principal Dis.
turbine Factor on the Market.

New York, Oct. 19.-Precipitate de.
clines to the lowest prices Of the year
In the stock market followed a meet
ing of the clearinghouse committee,
sentiment on the stock exchange be-
ing disturbed by rumors as to the
proceedings of the committee. State
ments were made by several Of those
who participated in the conference to
the effect that except for possible
changes in the personnel of the man
agement of other banks than the Mer-
camille National the situation was sat
isfactory.
The stock market opened with a
better tone than had been expected
and held rather well until after the
clearinghouse meeting, when rumors
as to the discussion at that meeting
became disturbing factor. Under
this influence prices began to drop
very rapidly and it seemed that there
was little or no buying power in the
market At first the metal stocks
suffered more sharply, but a little
later the railroads, especially Union
Pacific, Reading and st. Paul fell
away on heavy selling to the lowest
prices of the year. In some instances
the quotations for stocks were the
lowest since 1893.
The clearinghouse committee later
demanded the resignation of every
director Of the Mercantile National
bank as a condition of the clearing
house coming to the assistance Of
that bank. The designations were i'm
mediately signed and delivered to the
president of the clearinghouse.
Probably the weakest of the metal
shares was American Smelling and
Refining, which sold SO share lower
than the previous nights close on ex-
tremely heavy selling. It was esti-
mated that one broker, who makes a
specially of trading in this stock, sold
at least $4,000 shares Of it before 2
p. m. and it was rumored OH the ex-
change that a considerable portion of
this represented stock that had been
held as collateral on loans.

KILLS A BIG BLACK ONE.
President Finally Succeeds in Getting
Bear

New Orleans, Oct 19.-News of the
killing Of big black bear by Presi-

Bear Lake, La, has reached New Or
leans in telegram to John NJ Parker,
one Of the gentlemen who invited the
president to hunt in the state and
who himself Was member Of the
hunting party until business required
his returning to New Orleans several
days ago.
The telegram to Mr.. Parker was
signed by Mr.. Leo Shields, another
member Of the party, and read as fol-
lows:
"President Roosevelt killed a great
big bear Went into thicket after
him."
No particulars were stated in the
telegram. Two days ago several trails
were struck, but only once did the
dogs come upon the bears and then it

in the party to kill the bear inlme-
diately in order to save the dogs.

Dealer for Fifty Cents.
Chicago, Oct. 19.-An old stove as

c. T. Johnson, a stove dealer. that he
found $1,000 in $500 bills in the lining
Of an Old gas stove bought from John

Last Tuesday Johnson received a
letter from A. Bennett, who said his
mother had three months ago secreted
$4,000 in an old stove which had been
given or sold to Johnson at the time.
Johnson recalled the circumstance,
but the stove was SO old he had re-
fused to take it. The stove was given
to Theodore H. Myer, who afterward
turned the stove over to Johnson to
sell for junk. Bloom bought it for so
cents and says he will fight to keep
the contents. T.~---
