OF the mans voice made them feel
that mutiny would be suicide.

muttered the chief oarsman. That's
why the boys are SO SLOW"
ut is mighty dangerous" retorted
Kelly. That's why l want the boys
to be quick"
They started off with a will, the
turbulent waters dashing over the
sides of the boat and splashing the
faces of the passengers. Kelly fully
realized the peril OF crossing the
river on such a bad night but his
fears. If he had any. were kept quietly
locked in his own breast. A second
boat followed Immediately after tie

officer and these were all subject to
the orders of Detectives Kelly and
Brooks. Kelly was in the first boat
and he encouraged the lusty oarsmen
to do their best. They worked like
Trojans At times 1t looked as II the
rickety boat might capsize and throw
them all to the bottom of the muddy
stream. All were alarmed. To add to
the terror of the waters, 1t became SO
dark ut times that the oarsmen could
scarcely follow their course. Kelly
pointed to the light in the window of
the deserted house.
Boys" he said, keep your eye on
that light"
They did so. pulling away against
great odds. Once the boat sprung
leak and there threatened to be
panic among the frightened passen-

house. And night after night he was
confronted by great banks of heavy
impenetrable fog. Finally one night
when patience had almost ceased to
be virtue, a bright white spot ap-
peared from out of the gloom.
1t was the lantern in the deserted
house.
Kelly pulled out whistle and sum-
moned his men at once. They respond
ed with alacrity and In few minutes
were in big fiatboat that had been
kept on hand for the purpose. There
had been heavy floods in that section
of the south, and the Mississippi river
was swollen to an abnormal size. The
secret service men. armed to the
teeth, entered the boat in few sec
onds. The colored men who were to
do the rowing showed some hesitation

ernment officials connected with the
revenue at New Orleans.
They began work almost immedi-
ately upon their arrival in the Cres-
cent City. They separated in order
not to create any suspicion; but every
night they met Mr.. Brooks for report
and instructions. All of the big dis
dlleries in the neighborhood OF New
Orleans were shadowed: their proprie-
tors closely watched. and a never-fail-
Ing tab kept upon every one of the
government officials connected with
the revenue. There was fine detective
work TO be done both day and night
1t lasted for many weeks, and when
the climax came and the results were
accomplished in a single night, the en-
tire country was startled by the re-
suit.
The establishment on which the
greatest amount of suspicion was d.
rected was a big distillery on the
other side of the river. But while the
detectives were morally certain that

an Illicit business was being conduct
ed there, they were without positive
evidence upon which they could pro-
ceed. legally. For the purposes of this
article the place shall be known as
the "Big Ben" 1t was guarded day
and night by armed men and any
strange person coming within firing
distance placed his life in jeopardy.
The problem was to catch the pro-
moters of the concern red-handed-
to find them in the very act of distill-
ing and shipping Illicit Liquor. The
first move toward this end was to
smuggle several secret service men
into the inside. They secured employ
ment in the establishment and thus
kept tab on all of the queer happen
ings of the place.
That was only the beginning. The
range a plan OF signals by which the
United States officers could be guided
in making their raid. There was a de-
serted house on the side of the river
where the distillery was located, and
1t was decided to make use of this as
a signal station. One of the detec-
tives was supplied with large lantern
and provided with key to the house.
On the first night that the conditions
were favorable he was to go into the
third story front room OF the house
and place the lighted lantern in a po-
sition in the window where 1t could
be seen on the other side OF the river.
Night after night Detective Kelly
waited ON the New Orleans side of the
river for the signal from the deserted

scared. Indeed 1t is no exaggeration
to say that for many minutes they
feared death. but finally they reached
the other side OF the stream. The
messenger from the deserted house
awaited them on the bank. To their
delight he had not met with any
difficulty beyond that which came
with the storm and the rain. A SUD
den gust OF wind had blown the Ian
tern out. and as all of his matches
were wet, he was unable to repair the
misfortune.
Kelly and his companions prepared
for the still more serious part of their
adventure A fine mist was now fall
ing; it was dark and disagreeable.
The wide banks of the great river
were overfiowed and they had four
mile march to the Big Ben distillery
through the low marsh country, be-
ing compelled at intervals to wade
through mud and water up to the arm
pits.
Kelly took the lead with his assis-
ants following some distance behind.
He headed straight for the Big Ben
distillery. Detective Brooks, with
another detail OF men. was after
another establishment in a different

that the various chiefs should stimuli

law-breaking concerns. Kelly stumbled

of water, and at other times being
confronted with great hillocks of mud.

gers Kelly with admirable presence
Of mind quelled their fears. Bits OF
sticks were whitfield and plugged into
the holes. Several of the secret ser
vice men with sponges and tin cans
prevented the boat from accommodating
any great quantity of water. with
these expedients they managed to pro-
gress fairly well. Suddenly the chief
oarsman uttered cry of dismay.
Whats the matter?" asked Kelly.

Sure enough the light In the window
Of the deserted house had been ex-

filled their minds. Could 1t be that
their carefully laid plans had gone en-
tirely astray? Scarcely Could the
man in the house have been attacked?
That was possible. At any rate they
continued their journey to the other
side. 1t would not do to weaken at
this stage of the game no matter what
the consequences. The boat rocked
dreadfuly at this point. They were

A QUARREL ABOUT WORDS

A picturesque scrap is on in the east eru press over the authorship of 8 rhyme about a lot Of mangy mslamuses, says the Juneau Record. The fight started in peculiar way. Not long ago 8 man with the scalloped nsme Of Owen E. McGiuicuddy, sent the poem 10 Outing, and it was there published over his name.
 Then came Miss Pauline E. John- SOD, saying she had written the rhym- let, and had published it ia Rod and Gun some time before over her name. Miss Johnston is an authoress of some fame, aud has a tinge Of romance added to her pcrsunalty through the fact that she is an Indian princess or a descend ant of some of the proudest of Indian families of Canada.
 The jingle over which tho trouble brews follows:
