"I4et me know when you are ready.
I am an excellent cook" he said.
Then the captain a the Kansas re-
sumed his smoking and humm1ng, with
occasional glances ut the clock and
the compass and the barometer. At 2
o'clock he felt the ship slipping from

points eastward. He helped her and
telephoned instantly to Walker:
"Go forward and try II you can
make out anything Report to me
here"
AYE. aye, slr!" came the reply. and
anon Walker appeared.
"It's main thick ahead, sir, but I
think we-aw passin' an island to port, .
said he.

Walker imagined that the skipper
was ready for chat
"Things are in dweadful mess be-

the smash"
"Well, that must wait Don't talk.
Keep sharp lookout"
The engineer could not guess that
the captains pulse was beating a tri6e
more rapidly with certain citation.
They were undoubtedly passing White
Horse island. 1t revealed its presence
by DETECTING. the tremendous sea river
which ferried the Kansas onward ut
such a rate. In fifteen or twenty min

tons of more northerly set Of the
tide, and he watched the compass in

to the former course. IL the ship Cross

she would certainly be driven ashore
on some outlying spur'of the island or

actually guess his way. with some
thing Of the acquired sense of the
blind, because the slight.chance Of ulti-
mate escape for the ship and her occu-
pants rested wholly on the, assumption
that some ocean byway was leading
her to a deep water inlet, where It
might be possible to drop the anchor.
In eighteen minutes or fthereabouts
the needle moved slightly. Courtenay
once more assisted the ship with the
helm. She steadied herself, and the
compass pointed due northeast again.
Walker. though an engineer, knew
enough of navigation to recognize the
apparent inipossibility Of the captain
being able TO steer with any real
knowledge Of his surroundings. The
wheel twisting therefore savored of
magic. But his orders were to look
ahead, and he obeyed.
Soon he thought he could discern an
irregular pink crescent, with the con-
cave side downward, somewhere in the
blackness beyond the bows. Speedily
it was Joined by two others equally
irregular and somewhat lower.

now. II he dared let go the wheel hs

Walker set about his mission IN 4

AFTER WINNING THE
FUTURlTY.

A number Of Columbians, friends OF
Ed +. Geers, have received post cards
with Mr.. Geers' picture thereon. The
picture is taken with Mr.. Geers seated
In large chair with an elegant floral
design wreathed around him. Imme-
'diately on one side of the veteran
horseman is standing a large Irish
policeman, and some of Mr.. Geers'
most Intimate friends say that the
policeman was placed there to compel
the horseman to submit TO the cruelty
that is being inflicted upon him. The
picture was made Immediately after
he won the Kentucky Futurity at
Louisville few days ago. Mr.. Geers
is naturally retiring and modest
man and anything of this character
is really an infection to him.
