l did not know of any particular
reason for arguing the question, so
joined Mrs. KNAPP.
Thank God, re are safe!" she said,
with a sigh of relief.
We shall be in the city in half an
hour, if that is safety" I said
Tt will be safety for a few days.
Then we can devise q new plan

Returning to the deck I found that
the light of the morning was growing.
Vessels were moving. The whistles
of the ferry boats, as they gave warn
ing of their way through the mist, rose
shrill on the air The waters were
still. a faint ripple showing in strange
contrast to the scene of last night.
There's a steamer behind US" said
Dicky Dahl. with a worried look as I
Joined him. I've been listening to it
for five minutes"

ously for a moment and was inclined
to resent my interference. Then he
shrugged his shoulders as though 1t
was none of his business whether we
were lunatics or not so long as we
paid for the privilege, and rang the
engine bell for full speed ahead.
We had just come out of the Oak
land Creek channel and the mist sud
denly thinned before us. 1t left the
bay and the city fair and wholesome
in the gray light, as though the storm
had washed the CRIME and foulness
from air and earth and renewed the
freshness Of life We had come but a
few hundred yards into the clear air
when out of the mist bank behind us
shot another tug.
At the exclamation that broke from
us our captain for the first time show
ed interest in the speed Of his boat,
and whistled angrily down to his en-
gineer.
We can beat her" he said, with a
contemptuous accent on the her"
That's your business" I returned,
and walked aft to where Mrs. Knapp
was standing, halfway up the steps
from the cabin.
Can they catch us?" inquired Mrs.
Knapp, the lines tightening about her
mouth.
4 think not-the captain says not.
| should say that we were holding our
own now"
At this moment a tall, massive fig
ure stepped from the pilot house of the
pursuing tug and shook its fists at us
The huge bulk the VOLTAGE, just dis

and passion, stopped the blood and
felt a faintness as of dropping from a

DANCING THE BEST
EXERCISE FOR GIRLS
Social Graces Which Some of the Chill
dren Never Learn Are Also
Impaired.

Mary is at the awkward age. and I
can't do anything with her" cried
despairing mother. She is so round
shouldered. and Iopsided that tremble
for her appearance when she is a young
lady"
If your Mary is a like afiiction TO
your aesthetic sense. why not send her
to dancing school? Dancing will train
more the angles out Of her than solid
year Of nagging. TO say nothing OF the
difference in the effect on her DISPOSE
ton.
Dancing, properly taught, is a perfect
exercise. The children like it. and take
to it like ducks to water. Because it is
pleasurable. they get three times the
benefit from it they DO from a stupid
half hour of gymnastics such as many
public schools offer for exercise. The
girl who walks with her elbows out
and her head thrust forward viii stand
straight and be more compact after a
winters course in dancing
There is so much in the initiative in
stinct in children. a girl may hear
lectures by the hour on how to stand
correctly without avail, but once put
her under the influence Of a graceful
dancing teacher whom she admires,
and without knowing it herself she
will begin to straighten up and try
to walk as Miss Pirouette does.
Besdise many of the little social
graces which the child Of parents in
moderate circumstances never learns
are part of the instruction at a good
dancing class.

1 leaned out Of the window. Only
the deadened sound of the hoofs of our
own horses, the deadened roll of our
own carriage wheels, were audible in
the stiffness of the night Then l
thought I heard yeIls and faint hoof-
beats in the distance, but again there
was silence except for the muf1ed
noise we made in our progress.
Cant we drive faster?" asked Mrs.
Knapp, when I made my report.
4 wouldn't spoil these horses for
$500" growIed the driver when 1
passed him the injunction to hasten.
Its 81 900 for you if you get to the
wharf ahead of the others" cried Mrs.
Knapp.
And you'll have a bullet in your
hide If you don't keep out of gunshot
Of them l added.
The double inducement to haste had
its effect, and we could feel the swifter
motion Of the vehicle under US, and
see the more rapid passage of the
trees and fences that lined the way.
The wild ride appeared to last for
ages. The fast trot of the horses was
funeral pace to the flight of my ex-
cited and anxious imagination. What
if we should be oyertaken?
At last the houses began to pass
more frequently. Now the road was
broken by cross streets. Gas lamps
appeared, Ticking faint and yellow in
the morning air. We were once more
within city limits. The painting horses
never slackened pace. We swept over
a long bridge, and plunged down a
shaded street, and the figure Of the
borseman was the only sign of life
behind US.
OF a sudden there sounded a long
roll, as of a great drum beating the
reveille for an army of giants. The
horseman quickened his pace and gal
Hoped furiously beside us.
They're crossing the bridge" he
shouted
Whip up!" 1 cried to the driver.
They are only four blocks behind us"
The hack swung around a few cor
ners, and then halted.
Here we arei" cried Dicky Dahl at
the door. You get aboard the tug
and push off Jake and l will run up
to the foot Of the wharf. If they come,
we can keep EN- off long enough for
you to get aboard"
The tug was where it lay when we
left, and at my hail the captain and
I his crew of three were astir. 1t was a
moments work to get Mrs. Knapp and
her charge aboard
Come on!' cried to Dicky and his
companion. And as the lines were
cast off they made a running jump
or to the deck Of the tugboat and the
vessel backed out into the stream.
When the mist and darkness had
blotted out shore, wharves and ship
ping, the tug moved at half-speed
down the channel. l persuaded the
captain that there was no need to
sound the whistle, but he declined
gruff1y to increase his speed.
Il might as well be shot as run my
boat ashore" he growled, with few

IN few minutes the wavering light
of the candle reappeared. Mrs. Knapp
was carrying a bundle that I took to
ne the boy. and the man brought a
valise and a blanket
IT'S all right, said Mrs. Knapp.
No can carry him want to carry
him"
The man opened the door, then
closed and locked it as l helped Mrs.
Knapp into the carriage
Have you got him safe?" asked
Dicky incredulously Well, I'll have
to say that you know more than
thought you did" And the relief and
satisfaction in his tone were so eyi-
dent that l gladly repented Of my sus
picions of the light-hearted Dicky.
Have you heard anything?" I asked
him anxiously.
I thought I heard a yell over here
through the woods. We had better
get out of here"
Don't wait a second. said the man.
THE south road comes over this other
way. If you've heard anybody there,
they will be here in five minutes. III
follow you on a horse"
With an injunction to haste, l
stepped after Mrs. Knapp into the car
riage. the door was shut, Dicky
mounted the seat, and we rolled down
the road on the return journey.
"Oh, how thankful | ami" cried
Mrs Knann There is a weight Of
anxiety off my mind. Can you imag-
inc what l have been fearing in the
last month? ?"
II had thought little about that
myself, l confessed. But we are
not yet out of the woods, am afraid .
'Harki what's that?" said Mrs.
Knapp apprehensiyely.
/ The carriage was now making its
\ way through the bad stretch in the,
lane, and there was little noise in its
progress.
Il heard nothing" I said, putting
down the window to listen. What
was it,"
Il thought it was a shout"
There was no noise but the steady
splash of horses hoofs in the mud
and the sloppy, shearing sound of the
wheels as they cut through the wet
soil
AS we bumped and groaned again
through the ruts, however, there arose
IN the distance behind us the fierce
barking of the dogs, their voices
in anger and alarm.
There was faint halloo, and wild
er barking followed. Then my ear
caught the splashing Of gallopiag
hoofs behind, and in a moment the
man of the house rode beside US.
They've come" he said, "or, any
how, somebody's come. | let the dogs
loose and they will have lively time

A few yards more brought us to the
main road, and once on the firm
ground the horses trotted briskly for,

NEW DANCING PUMPS.

Every wee maid who goes TO dancing
school this winter will need pair of
shoes with gold or silver heels for the
more formal matinees Ordinary dane
ing pumps will do well enough for
other times, but on occasions Of inn
portance juvenile fashion threatens to
be insistent that the heels of little
girls shall gHsten with one or another

Steel Corporation
To Build Railroad
The Fairmont and Southern Road
Has Ample Backing and
Will BE Built.


! BALTIMORE. Md. Sept. 1.-THE
United States Steel Corporation is
backing the Fairmont and Southern
railroad. which is to be built from
the coal fields of West Virginia into
Pittsburg.
The fact that the powerful steel
interests are behind the Fairmont
and Southern not only insures the
completion of the project, but is q
guarantee that the coal properties of
Tygart's valley will be developed on
a large scale. There is to be no de-
! lay, those associated with the move
ment say. Rights of way have been
! practically secured and money will
/ not be lacking. 1t is said there will
/ be no difficulty in securing an inlet
into Pittsburg, as the Frick inter-
ests are in position to readily ef-
feet this.
The men who appear in the pro-
ject are Messrs. John F. Williams,
of Baltimore; Ralph Overholt, of
Pittsburg; Benjamin F. Overholt, of
Scottdale, Pa; Charles F. Teter, of
Philippi, w. Va, and Waitmau H.
and Charles E. Conoway, of Fair
mont, w. Va. The overhoIts are
cousins of Mr.. Frick.
The company Is chartered under
the laws of West Virginia with Il
capital of $4,000. which is merely
nominal and will be increased at
almost any time. The road will
pierce the rich coal fields along the
Tygart valley, starting at Belington,
w, Va, in Barbour county. and will
proceed along the most practicable
survey to the Monongahela river,
taking in the cities of Grafton and
Fairmont. From Fairmont the line
is planned to Pittsburg.
The purpose of the steel corpora
tion is to get the West Virginia coke
and coal 10 its plants in the vicinity
of Pittsburg. The coal OF this
region, as well as being cheaper. Is
said to possess peculiar properties
which make it superior for the pur-
pose of steel manufacturing to that
of the Connellsville district, fact
further demonstrated by It's use by
the Maryland Steel Company.
