SYNOPSIS.

Lord Wilfred Vincent and Archibald
rerhune are introduced at the opening of
:he story. in England, the latter relating
he tale. The pair on an outing miss
heir train and seeking recreation meet
the Honorable Agatha Wyckhoff,'
whose hand Is much sought after, be-
sause OF her wealth. Five other Agatha
Wyckhoffs are introduced. The deceased
stepfather, in an eccentric moment, made
ais will SO that the real Agatha, heiress
70 his fortune and the castle at Wye,
england. might wed her affinity. Thus
Mrs. Armistead, chaperon, was in duty
bound to keep the real Agathas identity
unknown. An attempt by Terhune to
gather clew from the chaperon fails.
rerhune finds old books containing pic
ture OF former Baroness Wyckhoff,
which is exactly like Agatha Sixth, whom
he is counting Agatha Fifth confesses her
love for Vincent and also that she is the
real heiress. He spurns her proposal.
Many clews to identity of the real
Agatha prove fruitless. Agatha Fifth
later confesses she is not the heiress.

Vincent received my disclosure with
indifference.
"At it again, Arch" he said, rather
gloomily, as he sat cross-legged before
my fire in extreme deshabille, and
smoking his vile pipe. What is the
use? / should think you'd get tired
of pursuing the elusive gold. / admire
your patience, my boy, but don't take
any more stock in this 'clew' than
did in your others. When you think
that you have now fastened suspicion
upon each one of the six fair ladies
who have been christened Agatha
marvel at the sanguine temperament
which permits you to place so much
Importance on this last find of yours"
He stopped, and answered him rather
sarcastically, as ! didn't like the gen.
tie ridicule of his tone or his lack of
enthusiasm.

sidering how you've spent your time,

upon me your derision as well as your
lack of sympathy" I don't mind ad

Vincent saw that / did.
He took his pipe out of his mouth
and looked at me with those big, truth
full eyes of his so penitently that |
smiled inwardly; then he gathered up
his long limbs from my hearthrug and
came and ensconced himself at my
feet as / sat in my easy chair.
well there, then" he said, patting
my hand as if I'd been an old woman
or small child. Poor old Archibald,
did l make it cross? Well, 1t was

such a mixture of contrition and fun
that l was obliged after short strug-
gle to laugh unconstrainedly.

Interesting Matter.

A matter Of considerable comment
is the rumor. which is corroborated by
the advertisement elsewhere in Tie
Journal today, that prominent bust
ness firm in Pensacola is going out OF
the clothing business. This is all the
more interesting when it is known
that this firm, which always does what
1t advertises to do, is going clear out
NOT part way out, but entirely out
OF the clothing trade.
More could be said about this mat
ter now. but the formal announcement
is reserved for tomorrows paper. II
may be mentioned. however, that e
clothing sale which will enable the
man orSbcy TO buy ten-dolIar suit
for five dollars, a five-6ollar pair o:
pants for $780, or 75-cent shirt fol
80 cents, is something of a sale. and
particularly at time when everyone
wants all he can get for every dolIal
he has to spend.
The story will be told on page two
of this paper tomorrow and when yo
learn what firm is telling it, the ma
ter is likely to prove a sensation.

Judge Sheppard Yesterday
Passed on Case of7the
Tug Linus.
INVOLVED QUESTION OF PRIOR
ITY OF A RECORDED MORTGAGE
IN CUSTOM HOUSE TO LIEN
GIVEN BY THE STATE LAWS
FOR sUPPLrEs-THE LATTER
TAKES PREFERENCE.

A case of more than ordinary in.
terest to ship chambers and owners OF
vessel property, was decided by Judge
Sheppard yesterday. The suit was
that of the Bagdad Mercantile Com
pany against the steam tug Linus.
and involved the question of priority
of recorded mortgage over the lien
provided by the state law in favor OF
merchants for materials and supplies
to vessels.
Judge Sheppard holds that the lien
given by the state law for Supplies in
the home port of the vessel is SUI
perior and takes preference to a
mortgage lien recorded in the Gus
toms house of the home port OF the
vessel; that courts of admiralty recog
nize and give effect to statutory liens
in the home port OF the vessel on a
parity with maritime liens. In the
absence of the statute. advances of
materials and supplies to vessel in
her home port would not create a
maritime lien against the vessel en-
fOrceable in court of admirably on
the theory that the credit would be
extended to the owner and not TO the
vessel. Where, however, the state.
statute provides a lien for such ad
vances then the admiralty law recog
nizes such lien on a parity with a
maritime lien and enforces it by pro
ceedngs in rem, against the vessel
The mortgage for purchase money of
materials used in construction, is not
a maritime debt, and according to the
rule in admiralty supplies for the voy
age tending for the greater advance
ment of the safety and preservation
of the vessel give that character OF
lien preference over a recorded mort
gage.
The supreme court Of the United
States expressed this doctrine by way
of dictum in the J. E. Rumble case
decided in 1892, burt it has since been
followed by that court and district
courts generally as authority.
