In less time than it takes to write
Alfred Scanlon was appointed Uni
ted States marshal, Charles Scanlon
an assistant United States marshal,
and the arrangement was made with
them to take full charge of Capt Sat
terlee during his trial. He was to
live in their cottage, have his meals
served from the International hotel
and, while carefully guarded night
class" throughout.
"'The law of the United States"
doomed out little Skiddy, assumes
that a prisoner is innocent until he is
actually convicted. l want both of
you to remember that"
The Scanlons didn't understand a
word of what he said, but they saluted
and looked very much impressed.
When you bought Scanlon you got
lot for your money, including pro-
found gravity when you addressed
him. 1t was the Scanlon way of rec
ognizing that you were paying, and
the Scanlon receiving, two dollars and
fifty cents day!
At the head of his two satellites,
who kept pace respectfully behind
him, Skiddy next directed himself to
find Dillon. Dillon was variety of
white Scanlon, though Of an infinitely
lower human type, who kept tiny
store and cobbled shoes near the Null
vac bridge, and who, from some as
sumed knowledge of legal procedure,
invariably acted as clerk of the court
any court-American, English or
the Samoan high. You associated his
heavy, bloated, grog- blossomed face
and black-dyed whiskers as an inevi-
table part of the course of justice. 1t
was his custom to take longhand
notes of all court proceedings, as, of
course, stenographers were unknown
in Apia, and at times it would seem
as though all Samoan justice boiled
down to debating to Dillon. AS wit
ness you never looked at the Judge;
you looked at Dillon, and wondered
whether he was taking you down
right. A careful witness always went
slowly, and used the words that Dill
lon was likely to understand.
What stir was made in the little
town as the news went round! Sat

tiny that brought in the mail cutter
two days ahead of schedule! Thrice
unlucky popularity that found thee
basking in the sunshine of woman's
favor instead of on thy four-inch
deck! The pilot signaled the mail;
Skiddy put forth in his consular boat,
intercepting the cutter in the pass and
receiving ION his head his own espe-
cial government bag. The proximity
of the Southern Belle and the likeli-
hood of Satterlee being at home
caused Skiddy to board the ship and
open the bag on her quarterback. One
stout, blue and important-looking let
ter at once caught his eye. He opened
the stout, blue and important-looking
letter and
There were no white men in the
crew of the Southern Belle. They
were all Rotumah boys, with the ex-
ception of All Foy, the Chinese cook
This amiable individual was singing
over his pots and pans when he was
suddenly startled by the apparition
of Skiddy at the gally door. The lit
tie consul was deathly pale and there
was something fierce and authorita-
tive in his look.
Come out of here" he said abrupt
ly, 81 want to talk to you'll"
The Chinaman followed him aft. He
had a pretty good idea of what was
coming. That was why he was sewn
up with 5000 in hard cash together
with a twenty-dollar bill under his
left heel He began to cry and in five
minutes had blurted out the whole
thing. Self-preservation is the first
law, and he had, besides, some dim
conception of states evidence. Skiddy
made the conception clearer and
promised him immunity if he would
make clean breast Of it. This the
Chinaman forthwith did in his labori-
GUS pigeon. A good part of it was in
comprehensive, but he established
certain main facts and confirmed the
stout, blue, important-looking letter.
AS Satterlee came off on shore boat,
pulling like mad, and then darted up
the ladder in sweat of apprehension,
he was met at the top by Skiddy-not

CURE AT CITY MISSION.
Awful Case of Scabies-Body Mass
of Sores from Scratching-Her
Tortures Yield to Cuticura.

"A young woman came to our city
mission in most awful condition physi-
cally. Our doctor examined her and

body was mass of sores from scratch
ing and she was not able to retain solid
food. Weworked hard over her for seven
weeks but we could see little improve
ment. One day l bought a cake Of
Cuticura Soap and bottle of Cuti-
cura Resolvent, and we bathed our
patient well and gave her full dose
of the Resolvent. She slept better that
night and the next day I got box of

young woman was able to look for
position, and she is now strong and well.

John Forster" he said, "alias Sat
terlee, l arrest you in the name OF the
United States, on the charge Of hav-
ing committed the crime of barfatry,
and warn you that anything you say
now may be hereafter used against
YOU"
1t was a horrible thing to say--to
be forced to say-and no sense OF
public duty could make it less than
detestable. Skiddy almost whispered
out the words. The brutality of them
appalled, him. Remember, this was
his friend, his hero, the man whose
intimacy an hour before had been
everything to him. Satterlee gave
him quick, blank, panicky look, aad
then, with a pitiful bravado, took a
step forward with an attempted re-
turn to his usual confident air. He
professed to be dumfounded at the &C
cusation: he was the victim of a
dreadful mistake; he tried, with a
CHASTITY smile, to reassert his old do
minion, calling Skiddy "old man" and
''old chap" in a shaky, fawning voice,
and wanting to take him below "to
talk it over" But the little consul
was adamantine. The law must take
its course. He was sorry, terribly
sorry, but as an officer of the United
States he had to do his duty.
Satterlee preceded him into the
boat. The consul followed and took
the yoke lines. They were both de-
jected, and neither dared to meet the
others eyes. 1t was a mournful pull
ashore, and tragic in the retrospect A
silence lay between them as heavy as
lead. The crew, conscious of the cap
tain's humiliation, though they knew
not the cause, felt also constrained to
a deep solemnity Yes, funereal pull,
and it was relief to everyone when
at last they grounded in the single
off the consulate.

terlee, the cherished, the entertained.
the eagerly sought after-Satterlee,
had been discovered to be a pirate!
The Southern Belle was no Southern
Belle at all, but the James H. Pea
body! He had shipped as supercargo,
putting in a thousand dollars of his
own to lull Mr.. Crswford's suspicious,
and then had marooned the captain
and mate on Ebon island and levanted
with the ship! Heavens! What
cackle, what excitement, what a furi-
Gus flow of beer in every saloon along
the beach! 1t was rumored that the
great bargain day sales might be can
celed; that the goods might have to
be returned; that not a penny of COM
pensation would be paid to the I'M
lucky purchasers Then what a rub
bling off of marks took place, what a
breaking up of tell-tale cases, what a
soaking off of tags! The whole 80
tons disappeared like magic, and you
could not find a soul who would even
confess to a packet of pins!
The trial took place in the large
room of the consulate. The big front
doors stood open to the sea, where a
mile away the breakers tossed and
tumbled on the barrier reef. The
back door was kept shut to keep out
the meaner noises of domesticitiy, but
at intervals in the course of the trial
you could hear the deliberate grinding
of the consular coffee; the chasing of
consular chickens; the counting of
the consular wash; shrill arguments
over the price of fish-a grotesque
juxtaposition that seemed to make a
mock of the whole proceedings.
On the reassembling of the court on
the morning of the third day little
Skiddy, from the majesty of the dais,
summed up the case at length. 1t
covered nine sheets of foolscap and
had cost him hours of agonizing toll.

statement about the policy of ma

standard commodities. There was no

unchallenged. A matter of 80 tons
must have been landed all round the
beach; and the pandemonium at the
gangway, the crush and jostle in the
trade room, and the steady hosting
out of fresh merchandise from the
main hold made a very passable
South Sea imitation of a New York
department store. At any rate there
was the same loss of temper, the
same harassed expression on the
faces of the purchasers, and the same
difficulty in getting change. AS like

A person who committed barratry

evidence of the case, destroying the
whole fabric of the defense, dwelling
at length on the enormity of the en-.

body had been deliberately seized
The prisoner had lawlessly converted
her, the property of another, to his
own base uses. He had broken into
the cargo and shamelessly sold it as
his own. He could plead neither the
extenuation of youth, nor ignorance,
nor the urging of others. He had con-
ceived the crime, and had carried 1t
out single-handed. The court could
not accept the contention that All
Foy, the Chinaman, had been in any
sense confederate or an accomplice.
The court dismissed the charge
against All Foy. But, after mature
deliberation, it's unanimous judgment
was that John Forster, alias Satterlee,
was guilty. The court sentenced John
Forster, alias Satterlee, to ten years
penal servitude.
Purdy popped UP with some ques-
ton as to the scale of court fees.
Thacher winked at Dillon, and began
to roll up his papers. Skiddy de-
scended from the dais and became an
ordinary human being again. The
captain, leaning forward in his chair,
gazed absently out to see. The Scan
Ion brothers appeared, officiously
wanting to know what they were to
do next. Skiddy was unable to tell
them, except that they were to stay
by the prisoner until he could consult
with the authorities. He put on his
hat, lit cigar and forthwith departed.
