CHAPTER
NINE
The Ethics of
Good Poker

EOR FIVE days the spitfre had been kicking her
way through comparatively quiet sea- Her
l. double expansion eng ines snored rhythmically,
vocing no complaint at the extra speed. Not so
with the stocking below decks. Indeed, it
seemed to them, in view of the Captains orders to
tear the insides of her., that they must shovel
such stupendous quantities of coal in this world
as to relieve them of similar responsibility in the
next
Therefore, the spitfre; hummed from stem to
stern with a vibratory, high keyed chant, as she
rolled from side to side :" shot the chutes" of
specially majestic SWELL and those on board waited
patiently in their shufled state, for the dealer of
destines to lay them GU: in pairs or threes of
kind or in any of the other combinations known
to chance.
Valda had not yet reinstated Ormond to COM
mand of the yacht, though she had made slight
concession. At sagacious hint from that cautious
man. the Sptfres course had been altered to dis
lance of some fifty miles from the beaten track of
regular ocean liners. This was done, not with any
cowardly desire to battle possible pursuit; but
if there is one business under the that does
not thrive the tonic of advertisement that bust
ness is the delicate art of smuggling
Valda determined to express her owr views of
this particular trade when she should meet her
father in New York; but in the meantime the least
she could do be polite to her father friends,
although her laudabe intention was frequently

who had, by superclious raising of his brows,

cheerfully, but did them WELL state of affairs
that hardly tended to the peace of mind of his
exacting master. Beasley then changed his
tics, allowing the aristocrat to work upward by
jumps, SO to speak; that is to say, he sent to
the very top of the Spitfre's slender mast. True,
the yachts sailing gear seldom used but if,
in the opinion of the first mate the masts and spars

the province of anyone on board
to dispute it with him. Thus it

Valda determined to express
this particular trade when she

she could do was to be polite to
although her laudable intentic
strained by the tendency of
Tracy to open his mouth. He
was sort of Pandora's box,
and, in spite of the efforts of Or
mond and all the gods, it was
quite impossible to keep his
lid on.
A S for Ormond, he was GER
IA tainly acting with tact and
discretion. He never intruded
upon the society of the women
unless invited to do so, at which
time he spared no pains to en-
terrain them to the best of his
ability. After his first interview
with Valda, concerning Girard's
departure from the path of rec
titude, he avoided the subject
with instructive difference to a
Young girls sense of right and
wrong. At the fall of Morson-
Brown he may have reJoiced
secretly; but he made no open
allusion to it, nor did he offer
ore suggestion in the manage
ment of the Yachts affairs; for
between Valda and himself
there was a tacit understanding
that she should remain the mas
ter of the Spitfire until the mo-
ment of their meeting with
Marcus Girard at Sandy Hook.
This gentlemanly quiescence
troubled Valda somewhat; still,
as matters were running very
smoothly, she saw no reason at
all to invite unforeseen compli-
cations by altering the present
restful state
AS for Morson-Brown, she
had completely ignored him for
three days; which cruelty, how
ever, seemed to have little or no
effect upon his buoyancy of
spirits, for to all outward ap-
pearances he not only was re-
signed to his humiliating duties,
but got a sort of humorous en-
iovment out of them. This was
disconcerting. Moreover, the
Spitfire S crew, to a man, re-
Ceived him as a comrade and a
brother. He was one of them!
At mess hour the seamen's
dining cabin echoed with SUBJ
dued shouts of merriment, and
there was little doubt as to who

~ NAL labors, and, like the
mate, she deemed such training
to be designed for the ultimate
good of a seaman's soul; yet
causing a novice to crawl around
in dizzy, dangerous places was
quite another matter. When
first she observed the green
hand balancing himself grace
fully on a wabbly spar, her
heart, in spite of her every dis
inclination, began to f1utter
wildly. 1t was most unfair, she
thought, to place an inexperi-
enced man at such a perilous
altitude, and she made up her
mind to discuss the subject with
Beasley in corrective detail;
but, on overhearing chance
remark, her determination was
reversed completely She was
standing on the bridge, while
just beneath her Morson- Brown
was chatting pleasantly with
brother seaman.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inhamed con.
dition of the mucous lining of the Eus'
tachian Tube. When this tube is inharn
ed you have runbling sound or imper-
feet hearing, and when it is entirely clos
ed, Deafness is the result, and unless the
Inflammation can be taken out and this
tube restored to its normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh,
which is nothing but an infamed condi-
ton of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Deafness Caused by catarrh
that cannot be cured by Halls Catarrb

This shows an immense increase
over the record for last year. 1t
will be seen by the table printed
that the poll taxes paid in Browns
vile this year were 1119. This is
a greater number than was paid
throughout the entire county last
year, when 1904 were paid. At
that time the taxes paid in the city
were 724, which shows that only
280 were paid in the remainder of
Cameron county last year.
The number of exemptions, on
account of age or disability will
bring the voting strength of Cam
eron county mp to about 5000, or
almost three times as much as that
of last year. While a considerable
increase in the number of tax
payers was naturally to be expected
on account of the very extensive
immigration into Cameron county
during the past year, yet it is quite
likely that interest in the elections
to be held this year are in part
responsible fer it.
