CHAPTER VII.

Immediately after breakfast Constable
drove down to the city to send out final
orders to Captain Negley, and attend GER
tain matters having to do with the Mad
ame's facilities for entertainment. Uncle
Joey was to go for the mails. If he
could prevent, Constable was mindHd
that there should be no hitch nor tapgle
at the last moment. In spite of darkish
apprehensions, his heart would burst now
and then into singing, since he asked but
two hours more of old Pelee, upon whose
summit was now written in lightning and
black cloud the ominous letters Of Dis
aster.
The ladies were left to such graceful
ministrations of Breen as were found
needful. Mrs. Stansbury having gained
her point imposed no further delays. The
eagerness of the daughter was controlled,
but in no way concealed. The past three
days had left pallor upon her face, and
shadows under her eyes, but the innate
fneness of her features seemed intensi-
fed rather than diminished by physical
suffering, and the more subtle perturba-
lions of the inner woman.
"When strain brings out the splendor
Of a woman's face, mark her well for
thoroughbred" Breen had found occasion
to whisper to his friend. The sentence
was souls refreshment, as Breen intend
ed it to be.
Constable, indeed, was contemplating
the full significance Of the words, and
their possible bearing upon his present
and future, as he rode down the Morne
d'Orange into the Rue Victor Hugo. The
little black carriage of Father Damien
was approaching, and, gripped by a sud-
den idea, Constable halted it, saying to
the elder spirit of the parish, whom he
had met at the plantation house Father,
take this two thousand francs and use
it for the maintenance Of the homeless
refugees in Fort de France. l shall see
that more funds get to you to-day"
A little way further, another carriage
approached, one Of the public conveyances
of the city this time. Behind the driver
doomed the head and shoulders of white
man-hard head and broad shoulders
the sight of whom struck the music from
the brain of Constable, as knife that Is
slashed across the strings of harp. Both
vehicles stopped abruptly.
"Well, I've got you," the broad individ-
ual remarked cheerfully. where's the
other fellow?"
Let it be known that the man whom
Constable now faced was the same ener-
getic person who occasioned discord on
the Brooklyn pier, just as the Madame
swung blithely forth into the harbor.
Constable was thinking very rapidly. He
felt prepared to commit murder rather
than have his plans for the morning
thrust aside.
1.-The other fellow?" he repeated gent
ly.
"The man hidden in your cabin when
YOU cleared. His name is Nicholas Stem
bridge, if you don't happen to know" the
stranger said, with some Impotence.
"Where is hep
Where you saw him last" Constable
said, with sudden cordiality; "and want
to state that I'm glad to see you-that
is" he added doubtfully, 'if you've come
to take him away. If you've looked me
ND, you'll have found that I'm usually
ready to pay in money, hide, or liberty,
for the mistakes | make"

Constable crushed the paper in his

at the mountain, from a habit now grav-

"The northern end of Saint Pierre is
flooded out like an ant hill under kettle
boiling over" he capitulated thoughtful1y.
"The mountain is gathering for another

W4NTS NEW ARMY BILL
President, in Special Message, Urges
Emergencu Measure.

Washington, Dec S.-An emergency volunteer
army measure was advocated to-day by President
Roosevelt in a special message sent 10 Congress.
and the draft of the bill accompanying the
sage was introduced in the Senate by Mr.. Cuilom.
The President says the bill is intended replace
the present law. which placed the statute
books ''piecemeal and hurriedly partly the
OF the with Spain and partly after hostillties
had actually begun" After declaring the present
law TO be faulty and wholly inadequate to e speedy
and proper organization OF a volunteer force the
President says the bill proposed. which was drawn
under supervision of the chief staff OF the army
has the hearty approval of the War Department.
The message says further:
II is designed to afford the complete machinery
by which, should be confronted with q foreign
the executive power could proceed at TO
efficient ami organized soldiers. Happily there is
present cloud upon horizon, but that very
Iehera+i6n and "a re in the prana ~ finn Of Ia vs.
adequate and Indispensable for possible
needs.
It is pointed out by the President that the pro-
posed measure would not call for a dollars ex-
perditure during the years Of peace and It's enact
ment into law now would merely be TO place at
the disposal of the executive power machinery
whereby should threaten the means to wage il
could be swiftly brought into being. Grounded
upon the law" he continues. there must be a
vast mass of detail wrought into a comprehensive
plan and ready upon the instant to be into mo-
ton. The Congress has provided q General STAFF
corps and built for the War College a permanent
and beautiful home; and the next logical step is
pass comprehensive volunteer act to the end that
details OF its execution.
The proposed bill is elastic: under its provisions
force Of 2O0o 600 men could be raised well one
of $1,000

FOR DEEPER CHANNEL.
One Of Tzcenty-Sir Feet Recon-
mended Betreen Brother Islands.
From The Tribune Bureau.I

Washington. Dee Sin response to provision
in the rive- and harbor bill of 1907. the War De-
partuent to-day forwarded TO Congress its reports
OF the survey Of the East River between North and
South Brother islands, and strongly recommended
that tho channel between these two points be
6redged from its present depth OF fifteen feet TO
tventy-six feet. The report is signed by General
W. +. Marshall, chief OF engineers and is con
CURED In by the board OF engineers for rivers and
harbors and by Colonies John c. d knight and d
". lockwood, who made the surveys.
The object Of this Improvement according 20 the
report. is TO provide an alternative channel at
locality lying within the limits OF the existing
project for improving East River and He'll Gate"
colonel Knight believes that the East RiYer should
be improved by the general government and thinks
there is sufficient warrant for a 2s-foot channel
hich could be dredsed at a cost OF Hols 16S. The
board Of engineers also expresses the opinion that
New-York tribune., 1908-12-09

economic considerations Justify deepening this al
tentative channel to the same extent
The report shows that North Brother Island IS
situated in the bend of the East River. just above
the Harlem Kills and that additional waterway
at this point would materially lessen the dangers 70
navigation. particularly in thick weather The
present channel between the two Islands is only
fifteen deep. and the increased size Of barges
prevents them from using it They take the main
channel. thus interfering with other traffic.
