Until six bells the mate kept the

By THEODORE ROBERTS

The topsail schooner Molly Har-
wood lay in Carlisle Bay, of the
sweltering city of Bridgetown, Barba-
dos. She was a Newfoundland vessel,
Just up from Brazil, in ballast, and
was now awaiting orders. Her mas
ter, Captain Woody, was ashore at the
consignee's Office.
Mr. Fitzgerald, the mate, was
painting the life-preservers that hung
under the rail aft. He wore a wide
straw hat, blue cotton shirt and paint
bedaubed overalls. AS you see, he
was no fancy mariner. In port as
on the high seas he had his work to
do. He did it, but of late silently and
without joy.
The cause of his gloom was the fact
that his masters certificate was thr.e
years old, and he was still mate Of
the Molly Harwood.
He had sailed the seas ever since
his fourteenth birthday-that was
sixteen years ago-and always in
Newfoundland "wind-jammers," with
their eternal outward freights of
fish"
He was good seaman and capa-
ole officer. His navigation was sound,
and his courage and caution were
above criticism. But ashore, espe-
claliy in the owners Office, he dis
played fustered countenance and a
suffering tongue. For this reason
ne had been kept from a master s
berth. A small thing will sometime es
pelie mans true worth in the eyes
ol his employers.
AS Mr.. Fitzgerald moodily but
thoroughly slapped the white paint
over the life-preservers, he kept a
'elled eye On trim vessel that lay
ABOUT thirty yards aft of the Molly
HarWood The trim craft was the
scnooner-rigged auxiliary yacht Ven
turer Of the New York Yacht Club.

WASHINGTON, May 1G.-When John

welt today to thank him for aiding his
nephew, he improved the opportunity
to give the executive some advice on
the wisdom of quitting the game"
while he was still champ" and not
stay in the ring too long-"for," OBJ
served Sullivan, "a guy is sure to get
the worst of it in the end"
On the White House steps after leav-
ing the president, Sullivan observed Il
party of correspondents.
you see, to die a champion you
must retire when you are In your
prime. The old guy that wrote the
story book about the pitcher that went
to the well once too often was all right,
all right. He had the dope on past
performances and no mistake.
Now Theodore Roosevelt is a cham
pion of champions He has won the
belt in every class from feather weight
up. He has met all corners and never
took the count. Why, there amt a
guy can train down and meet him and
stay the limit. What does he do? Is
he going to wait for some phenom' to
develop? Not on your life
