CHAPTER XIV.
Captain Jeremiah TuasIes Is InsuIte

Captain Jeremiah Tu1gles Is InsuIted.
II was a moment Of splendid tri-
umph for the heroine OF this mad es-
capade when she drew under the lee
of the great ship tremendously above
her. Her eyes were as keen as Car
rington's. She had recognized, or di-
vined, that the tall figure standing on
the rail Of the larger boat staring at
her was her husband. She knew that
in some way they had concluded that
she would try to escape on the mer-
chairman and that they were trying
to catch that ship. She was expert
enced enough, also, to know that their
efforts would be futile and their
trouble in vain. There was only ono
possible contingency which could pre-
vent the accomplishment of her de-
sires now, and that would be thu re-
fusal OF the captain Of the ship to
stop for her when she ran him down.
Ellen had well-filied purse and she
hoped to persuade him with that. At
any rate, she kept recklessly on. al
though the little boat came near to
frswamping and Deborah, between ter
ror and disappointment. was in state
Of collapse. Ellen boldly ran down
under the lee OF the big ship BY
skillful handling she brought her boat
within hailing distance of the mer-
chairman.
A man stepped on the rail to lee
ward and stared hard at her

He spoke to the helmsman and a
moment after the sails Slated In the

the breeze and ranged ahead, her way

Ellen acted promptly. Before the
big ship swung up into the wind she
had run her little boat alongside. She
dropped sail, ran forward and took
a turn with painter across the fore
chains. She let the boat drift aft until
1t came abreast the battens on the
side, leading up the gangway. Up this
she drove Debbie. reluctant, protest

Some somnolent railroads which
 have allowed thousands of crippled box cars and scores of locomotives to accumulate during the business de-
 l.resson have been given sharp wax, ing up by the Illinois Manufacturers association which fears car short age during crop moving time this fall unless lively preparations are made. The hard times pleas of some railway presidents were discredited when it was shown that they have not got ready to care for the great crop traffic in addition to general increase of other traffic, nevertheless lamenting that freight rates are too ,ow for the reduced tonnage now be- ing hauled. The sharp stick of the association was-applied to these son. nolent ones in an open letter from President Fred w. Upham, who said:

AMENDMENT NO. 10.

In view of the efforts being made by Mayor Toney and other citizens of Pine Bluff in behalf of Amendment Mo- 10, the following arguments oi Mayor Dulye of Little Rock are quite applicable:
 The Free Bridge in this city was built at a cost of $35O, 900 0O The cash price for building this bridge was just one half, or S1755 5,o0o.0o. For the req son that the county was not able to issue interest bearing bonds it was forced to pay two for one in order 70 COnSummate the contract. Even at this price the bridge has been the best paying investment the county of Pu- laski ever made. According to the contract the bridge was to be paid for at the rate of $25,00Oo0 per annum, which required fourteen years to pay it out. Had the bridge been built un- der {; bond issue, the interest at four per cent would have been seven thousand dollars per year. leaving eighteen thousand dollars for q sink ing fund which would have paid out the bridge in thirteen years, npon the assessed valuation of property in this city at the time of the issue of the bonds. And if yor take into consider alton the enhanced value of property here. the bridge would have been paid out in eight years.

 'Who is that old maid yondcr?'
 I'll tell you who she is.
 Her name is Mary Brown. daughter of John Brown You remember John? do-well.
 Mary looks d little oId-yes, even when she is fixed up." But she bas a good face. don't you think? And she is just as good as she looks She is woman with past" but the past of Mary has nothing dishOnOra ble
 in it.
 She is the oldest daughter and takes liter her mother. who was a mighty lnite woman who never had chance. If you remember. they lived upstairs | oyer store building on Main street. John Brown worked. when he felt well" at painting and wall papering He complained that he had contra cted painters colic" and had never got over it. Well, John never was yer, strong. and that's true And one day when he was a substitute over at the stave factory a big knife machine cut off. his right hand. After that hs couldn't to mu@h except at of jobs.
 Mrs Brown? X smart little woman and ambitious. She always kept the kids looking neat and clean-three of them besides AIary-two boys and a girl. The womar just literally worked herself to death over the washtub Mary did the housework and helped
 When her mother died Mary was sixteen years of age. Tnat was fo"r- teen years ago. Yes, Mary is jus, thirty years of age
 Well, in all that fourteen years Mary Brown has ssareeIy had time to raise her eyes from her sewing at the cloak factory. She got q dollar a day fer several years. She is a forewonan now and gets So week
 And, would you believe 1t. Mary Brown has kcI,; those-boys amd the girl just as well dressed as the aver age: She kept Ae. sister in school through the grades. One brother, Ie!in junior graduated last year in tle high school He helped Mary d root. deal by selling newspapers. The other boy took course in the business eel lere, and Mary can now take q long breath
 The old man? Oh. he earned a dollar occasionally And he was pret- ty handy round the house. Died year ago. He had very decent burial -Mary's money.
 That's who Mary Brown is.
 And somehow. when you know what Mary has been and done, she is q pretty good lenking woman, don't yoz, think? Good? Shes as good as gold.
 And I'm telling You no secret when say one of he best men in this town is going to marry Mary in the fall He knows what Mary is. and he thinks a lot of her.
