her old home in Nonootch. Scattered
about here and there were other things
that brought her memory painfully
back to him; that hurt him with their
familiarity; that caused him to lift
them up and hold them with sort Of
despairing wonder: her guitar, her
worn, lock-fast desk, the old gilt pho
tograph album he remembered so

buried his face in his hands. What
fool he had been! What fool he
had been!
He was reused by the sound of Hor-
ble's footsteps down the ladder. With
his head leaning on his hand, he
looked at the big naked feet feeling
for the steps, then at the uncouth
clothes as they gradually appeared,
then at the fat, weak, frightened face
of the man himself. He grew sick
at the sight of him. Would Horrible
strike him? Would Horrible have the
grit to order him of the ship? No;
the Internal coward was getting out
the gina bottle Of sauare-face and
two glasses.
"Say when," said Horrible.
When" said Gregory.
Horrible tipped the bottle into his
own glass. A second mates grog!
One could see what the fellow drank.
Here's luck" said Gregory.
Drink hearty" said Horrible.
Joe Horrible" said Gregory, lean.

"Capt. Cole" said Horrible, cain
but with a culver of his lip, well
take another drink, and then We'll
say good-by."
I'm not going till I see Madge,"
said Gregory.
Horrible began to tremble.
'It's for Madge to decide" added
Gregory.
Decide what?" demanded Horrible
in husky stutter.
Between you and me, old fellow, %
said Gregory.
"And you've the gall to say that on
my ship, at my table, about my wife!"
exclaimed Horrible, punctuating the
sentence with the possessive.
"Yes," said Gregory.
Horrible sat awhile silent. He was
obviously turning the matter over in
his head. He said at last he would
go on deck and take another look to
windward.
There's a power of dirt to wind,
ward!" he said.
Gregory was conscious OF q be.

sight, and in an instant he was
reused and tense, his nostrils vibrat

two men stared at each other, and
then Horrible backed into the state
room, remarking with furtiVe insincer
ity: There's a power of dirt te

shut behind him. Gregory sprang tc
his feet and burst 1t open with his
powerful shoulders, crushing Horrible
against the bunk, who, pistol in hand
fred at him point blank. The bullet
went wide, and there was a sound Of
shattering glass. Gregory's hands
clenched themselves On Horble's, anC
the revolver twisted this way ant

was painting like steam engine; his
lower jaw hung open, and he cried a:

something you ought to know; love

Horrible gasped.
"She's mine!" said Gregory.
Horrible helped himself to more gin,
and then slowly wiped his mouth with
the back of his hand.

"You can't sell white women" said
Horrible. "She amt labor"
"a thousand pounds!" repeated
Gregory.
Il won't sell my wife to no man"
said Horrible.
The pair looked at each other. Hor-
ble's hand felt for the gin again. His
speech had grown a little thick. He
was angry and fustered, and dull
resentment was mantling his heavy
face.

again, and saw old Maka taking his
place in the stern sheets and assist
ing woman in beside him. The
woman! It needed no second glance
to tell him it was Madge. He had
never counted on her coming off in
company. Fool that he was, he had
taken it for granted that she would
be alone. Everything, in fact, turned
on her being alone. Then, with a
start, he remembered his own dinghy,
and how it would betray him. He had
made it fast on the schooner's star
board quarter, near the little &C.
commodatiOn ladder. Going on his
hands and knees, lest his head should
be seen above the shallow rail, he un-
loosed the painter, worked the boat
astern, and drew it again to port.
Then he crouched down in the alley
way and waited.
A few minutes later and the whaler
was bumpSsg against the schooner's
side. It might have been humping
against Gregory's heart, so agonizing
was the suspense as he lay GREATNESS
and cramped between the cofinlike
width of the house and rail.
1T was kind of you to bring me
Off, Maka," said Madge.
The old Hawaiian laughed mu-
sically in denial. mo, mol" he cried.
"You must come below and see the
captain" said Madge.
Gregory was in cold sweat of ap-
prehension.
"Too much storm" said Maka,
doubtfully. 81 go home now, and put
rocks on the church roof"
Five minutes won't matter" said
Madge.
Again Gregory trembled.

ing up a song. Madge seemed to rc-
main standing at the gangway where
they had left her. Gregory felt by
instinct that she was gazing at the
Northern Light, and that as she gazed
she sighed; that she was lost in rev.
erie and was loath to go below.
He rose stif1y from his hiding
place. Even as he did so it came
over him that he was extraordinarily
tfred--so tired that he swayed as he
stood and looked at her.
"Madge!" he said in almost a whis.
per. ''Madge!"
She turned instantly, paling as shs
saw who confronted her.
"G-eg!" she cried

out I'm his, Greg. I will not BE-
tray my husband for any man."
Again he besought her to go with
him. But the moment of her mad
ness had passed.
He sat down on the rail instead, his
eyes defying hers.
She stepped aft, and his heart stood
still as she seemed on the point of
descending the companion. But she
had another purpose in mind. Throw
ing aside the gaskets, she stripped
the sail covers of the mainmast and
began with practiced hands to reef
down to the third reef Then she
went forward ard did the same to the

murder for herself. No, the risk OF
that appalled, him. Besides, what
ever happened, he had another rea-
son for keeping the truth from Madge.
The fact of Horble's death, even II
she thought it accidental, would
shock her to the core. It was in
conceivable that she would feel any
thing but horror stricken, whether
she judged her former lover innocent
or not. She might even undergo
terrible remorse. At such moment
how little likely she would be to give
way to him! OF course she would re-
fuse. Any woman would refuse.
Every restraining influence would be
massed against him. No, his only
hope lay in getting her aboard his
schooner and out of the lagoon be-
fore the least suspicion could dawn
upon her. Once away, and it might
be two years before she might even
hear of Horble's death. Once away,
and the empty sseas would keep his
secret. Once away

he manage to get out at all, or pick
course through the middle channel!
1t was thick with coral rocks, and in
day so overcast the keenest eye
aloft would be at fault. And out
side, what then? Already it was
working up hurricane. To run be-
fore it would be counting death.
But to stake Madges life! Madge,
whom he loved SO dearly! Madge,
for whom he would have died!
And yet there was something sub
lime in the thought of taking her in
his arms and driving before the gale,
the storm sails treble reefed on the
bending yards, the decks awash from
end to end, Madge beside him, the
pitchy night in front, the engulfng
seas behind; to swim or sink, to ride
or smother, accepting their fate to-
gether, and, if need be, drowning at
the last in each others arms.

throttled Gregory against the wall.
Gregory, suffocating, his eyes staring

supreme desperation for the pistol
Getting it in the very nick of time,
and e1uding Horble's right hand, he
fired twice through the armpit down.
Horrible sank at the first shot, and
received the second kneeling. Then
he toppled backward, and lay in a
twitching heap against the drawers
below the bunk, groaning and cough
ing. Gregory, with averted face,
gave him another shot behind the ear,
and another through the mouth, and
then went out, sick and faint, shut
ting the stateroom door behind him.
He sat for a long time beside the
table, absolutely spent, and still hold
ing the revolver in his hand. He was
shaking in chill. though the temper
allure was over so, and the cabin,
when he had first entered it, had
seemed to him overpoweringly hot
and sitting. He warmed himself
with nip of gin. He looked over his
clothes for trace of blood, and
was thankful to find none. He took
off his coat; he examined the soles of
his shoes. No blood! Thank God, no
blood!
He went on deck and cast the re-
Volver overheard, standing at the taft
rail and watching it sink. Even in
the time he had been below the wind
had risen; it was blowing great guns

white and broken as far as the eye
could reach. Aboard his own schoon-
er they were busy housing the top
masts, and the yeo-heave-yeo of
straining voices warned him that
Cracroft was hosting in the boats
and making everything snug.
Gregory leaned against the wheel
and tried to think. To throw Hor-
ble's body overheard would be to ac-
complish nothing. The blood, the
shot holes, the disordered cabin,
would all betray him. To scuttle the
schooner with stick of dynamite was
a better plan, but that involved re-
turning to the Northern Light, with
the possibility Of Madge coming off
in the interval and discovering the

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS.

Little Webster DERRICK, the six year
old son Of Dennis DERRICK, a farmer 20
siding about one mile west of this vii
lage, met with a painful and what might
have been fatal accident on last Mon
day afternoon. The child had been in
the field with his father who had been
dynamiting some stumps, when about
four o'clock Mr., Detricl! ave he little
teIioW a number of dynamite caps and
told him to cary them to the hpuss and
put them away. The boy did as he vas
| hidden, but kept one of the caps and
went out into the yard near the house
and placed it upon rock and struck the
cap with another rock. The explosion
which followed blew off the thumb and
one finger from his left hand and pieces
of the cap cut him about the face and
legs.
Word reached this place last week of
the kidnapping of little Genevieve
Shoup, the five year old granddaughter
Of Rev. J. B. Shoup the former Luther
an pastor Of this charge The little girl
was at the home of her grandparents at
Fitzgerald, Ga, and When last seen by
her grandmother was playing about the
yard Sunday afternoon, May 10th, and
it is believed that she was abducted.
Rev. Alvin Jugal, who was recently
called to this charge by the Lutheran
congregation, arrived here last week
and began his work by preaching at this
appointment last Sunday morning.

this village last week, we note Wade

years, died at the home of his wife's
father, Mr. John Yelloly, on Water

st. Paul's church. The interment was
made in the Oakland cemetery.

THE RIGHT WAY BLAZEO.
A Well Known Garrett COuntain Sees
Wonderful Future.
To the Editor of The Republican:

To the Editor of The Republican:
Oakland, after droning and sleeping
for thirty years, until her popularity as
summer resort departed, has at last
shaken itself awake, and by vote of
nearly four to one, placed it's future des-
tiny in the hands of younger, more
brainy and progressive men. A modern
pure water, sewerage, and fire protect
ing system will soon be installed, but
the good work should not stop here.
AS one of the oldest living pioneers of
the town and one who thoroughly under
stands what he is writinglabout, | will
be pardoned for blazing the way to
far greater glory for Oakland, Mt. Lake
Park and Deer Park ETC., than they
ever dreamed of before. The way if
followed as blazed, will not only benefit
, the summer resorts but every living
soul in. Garrett county by doubling the
assessable value of the immense extent
of undeveloped coal, fire clay, kaolin,
/ lIOll VI &, CIS., Ill iIS DOiutISs
Two weeks ago we published an article
showing that more than 90, 900 acres of
our richest coal and mineral lands are
! already owned, or "optioned" by non
resident capitalists and spectators,
who don't care i AZ Tor Oakland s
future except in 50 fer as III enter
prises pours wealth into their selfish
and greedy pockets. In addition to
the 80, 900 acres of undeveloped territory
! lying nOrthward and northwest of Oak
land, which are monopolized by non.
resident Spectators. there are at least
10000 acres of coal ahd other minerals
that still belongs to resident farmers
and CHER citizens of the county; which
being added makes total of 100. 900
acres of coal lands, the development of
which depends. absolutely, upon the
building Of cheap electric railroads with
lateral branches from the mines of each
individual land owner to connect with

Masontown, Fairmont, Morgantown,
Kingwood, Fairchance, Connelsville
and Pittsburg. The interest of all the
owners of this vast extent OF undevel-
oped territory, as well as the citizens of
all the towns named are mutual; hence
each one of them should put their Shout
ders to the wheel and unite, in a com
mon effort in securing a cheap hydro
electric plant near Swallow Falls.
Capitalists, before investing, requires
that each land owner who be will bene-
fitted this by cheap power plant, shall
contribute their share, in proportion to
their holdings, either by ceding free
right of way, supplying crossties, etc,
or by subscribing to the capital stock
and bonds. Each land owner who thus
aids in the installation of this plant will
be guaranteed reciprocal advantages,
in minimum rentals for the power and
lights required by them.
The first important step in the enter
