This change Of wind was unnoticed nv shfI whose mindi was fully occu- oied with the waves. The sail Tapped. but 1t had done so fifty times that night, and he looked upon It merely IS a result of his bad heimsmanshfp. Tn inc compiete darkness he could not zee that the wind was heading him or. and he had neither light nor compass to tell him that when he put up the helm. he had altered his course.
 An hour passed. and he began to wonder why he had not reached tho other aide of the estuary. He did not know that he was sailing only just ing almost straight for the open sea, :, Ire noticed. however. that the waves were sleeper, and that his little craft rolled up and down them like a help less iog.
 Then at last his courage and even his great physical strength began to fall him. The darkness. the binding sheets of rain, the roar of the wind and waters. all combined to destroy his nerve and confuse his brain. He be- ran to think that here was the end of everything, and that he< would never emerge from the gloom and turmoil of the storm. He did not pray for help; he merely prayed for light ana 6 glimpse of land. Even death would be better than this blind groping Tor life. His limbs ached, and his mind seemed unable to grasp the details of the things he had to do. He realized that in few more minutes he would have to acknowledge his defeat.
 For the next quarter of an hour he steered mechanically. and more by good fortune than good judgment he kept the boat moving with a full sail. He had forgotten all about Laura Tanker lane, but, curiously enough. he remem- bered the howling of the dog. and the cries of Gabriers hounds. He began to realize the meaning of these omens of death.
 Then at last the thing he had prayed

for came to pass. The rain squall ceased as suddenly as 1t had com menced, ahd a few minutes afterwards the moon shone out in a clear sky. And then the Sunk Deep Light flashed out on his port bow. He gazed at IL in horror. When he had last seen the light it had been we'll to starboard- He looked behind him. and saw the light from tho farmhouse almost dead astern.
 He at once realized what had hap pened. and put the boat round, an operation that was only performed by a continuous pulling of the oar AS he did so. great sea broke over the little craft, and swept her from stem to stem. He started to bale. but before he had thrown more than few quarts of water overheard another wave came cu&ing and breaking at the bow. The punt was too full of water to rise it., and it poured clean over her. washing the dog out of her like a piece of cork. John Shil was up to his knees In water, and he felt the timbers sinking under his feet.
 The sudden disaster reused him from his mental and physical sstupor. He peeled off his jerseys and threw them into the sea, but before he could take off his boots, the punt lurched over, the water came swiriing up to his breast And then sea and wind and darkness seemed to beat him down into the unfathomable depths. where the eyes are blind and the lips are dumb and the ears are~deaf, and where even the mind itself can see nothing but the swift memory of past. events.

 senator Pettus. the junior Senator from Alabama, is a member of the Senate committee and took part in the trip of inspection. In speaking of Senator Pettus Colonel Wiley said:
 '"The other members of the joint committee were simply astounded at the vigor and energy of Senator Pet tus. The inspection was made under very trying circumstances. It was bitterly cold and to make matters worse a blizzard of thirty miles an hour was blowing. The Qualifications cover considerable ground and the party had to be exposed to that biting gale.
 Tn spite of all entreaties that he take a comfortable chair in the Army and Navy Club and not expose himself to the danger from the terrible wealth. CT, Senator Pettus insisted on going everywhere an officer was willing 10 carry him and in seeing everything that was to be seen. He covered more ground in that winter gale than any member of the party. And he seemed to suffer less from the dfscomforts or the day than any member of It.

HEAD OF FILIPINO SCHOOLS

Accompanied by his bride of two months, the remains of Professor James l.. Davis, who died while at fhe head of the educational system Of the Philippine Islands, are being brought to his old home in Alabama ! for burial. Professor Davis was member of prominent Calhoun coun- ty family and before he went to the Philippine Islands he had the highest standing in the educational circles or Alabama
 He went to the Philippine, Islands six years ago as one of the many teachers sent out by the United States government to establish school sys- em according to the American stan

 was promoted, without influence, $ -om place to place until he was put at ae head of the Philippine schools when Superintendent Barrow returned to his home in New York few months ago.
 During the winter he was married A young lady of Manila. Death came to him few weeks later, when he had attained as young man, honors , that come to but few educators. HIS body, accompanied by his bride. Is on a transport somewhere between the . PhiIippine Islands and San Francisco. 1t will be carried to his fathers home and his old home at Oxford for bur- ial.
 MT. Davis was for several years principal of te Eufaula High School. He was later Superintendent of the City Schools of. Ozark. He taught awhile in Tuscaloosa and pursued mt fhA TIpiUATHifX Alabama to increase his equipment for his life work of teaching. When the national Department of Mduca- tion called for volunteer teachers to go to the Philippine Islands to es- tablish an American system of schools. Mir. Davis was among the first to re- spond.
 At that time he had a most prcmis- ing future as teacher in Alabama. He was recognized as a young man with a career before him--a career assured by his ability, his equipment and his untiring energy. Friends ad- vised him against going to the Phil- ppines with such a promising career awaiting hm in Alabama
 His promotion was even more rapid fin the Phlppnes than it would have been in Alabama. Shortly after his arrival in the islands he was made su- pervising architect for the many school buildings which were being erected in the islands. After rendering signal service in this capacity, Professor na- wis was placed at the head of all the manual training schools in the islands. Tn this capacity and at the expense of the United States government. he toured the States inspecting the va rious manual training schools for ideas to put in operation in the schools In the Philippines.
 On this tour he visited Montgomery, where he has a number of friends. Shortly after his return to the Philip pines, Professor Davis was made su- perintendent of the schools of the City
