Sir Charles heart leaped at this con-

Captain Tuggles startled violently.
Nay" said the soldier, 81 mean no
offense at all, but you don't know
Lady Ellen Darlington, and it's quite
possible that without your knowledge
she's concealed herself in some other

called out to the mate, have the ship
searched. Put no hindrance in the
way of these Britishers, and If them
two females can be found, fetch 'em
aft, for Gods sake!"
1t did not take the sailors long to
search the ship. They found no
trace of Ellen and Deborah whatso-
ever and so reported to Collier.
81 am sorry for you, Sir Charles"
said Collier, but they have evidently
escaped you. They're cruising around
somewhere in these waters in that

he said. "At any rate, they are not

He extended his hand with a rouleau of
gold pieces in it. Captain Tuggles took
the money, examined it critically,
walked to the side of the vessel and
dropped it overheard.
What do you mean by that?" cried
Sir Charles, angrily.

Collier laughed.
Certainly not. Didn't you notice
Just before dark when we were over
hauling the ship that she had small
boat trailing astern. It's pounds to
pennies that they've gone in that.
Here, wait; I'll find out"
He wriggled out of the window
himself, dropped down the Jacobs
ladder and peered anXiously aft. There
was no sign of a boat. 1t was dark
and he couldn't see very well, but he
could see enough to know that from
whatever cause, the boat that had
been dragging astern was gone.

Charles" he said gloomily, as he
climbed into the cabin again.
"Ill not believe it, cried Sir
Charles bitterly disappointed at this
unfortunate ending of so promising
a venture.
Captain Tuggles laughed. It must
be confessed that he hugely enjoyed
the discontinue of his unwelcome
visitors.

RELIEF FOR THE UNFORTUNATE.
Where the United States is Behind
European Countries.

The plan for establishing state
labor colony incidentally calls atten-
ton to the backwardness of the new
world in two important matters, the
relief of honest men out of employ
ment and the suppression of Migrants.
Save for the work done chiefly by pri-
vate organizations. in a few large
cities, there would be absolutely moth
ing in the United States which a
Swiss, German or Dutch charity work
er might compare to the labor colonies
of his native land. Even a French
men, whose country is overrun by
vagabonds, can point with pride to
relief measures which have already
done much to reduce the suffering
due to the enforced continuous idle
ness Of from 6.5 per cent to seven
per cent of all workingmen. The
idea of allotting small gardens to men
out of work was conceived and put
into practice by Gen. van den Bosch IN
Holland as far back as 1918; to-day
more than 1000 poor families are thus
supported in the little kingdom. The
environs of Paris are dotted with some
1000 plots assigned by the Workmen's
Garden Society to the unemployed.

CHAPTER xvI.-Continued.

Captain" began the lieutenant, "all
the cabins but two are unlocked. We
want the keys for those two"
81 haven't got no keys" answered
the captain, CURLY. IF they're locked
which two be they?"
"One is the after cabin on the port
side; the other is, take it, your own
my own amt locked"
81 beg your pardon, I've just tried
the door. You can go below and see
for yourself. Perhaps you'd better
bring us light"
Captain Tuggles would have let
them grope in the darkness forever
had it not been for the complication
of his own locked door.
A light was brought from the galley
by the cabin boy and the three went
below again. Captain Tuggles plunged
to the door of his own cabin, turned
the handle confidently. Sure enough
it was locked.
you see?" said Mr.. Collier.
81 see, but ! don't understand" said
the captain. "Those two females went
into this cabin. / showed them in
there myself"
He pointed to the locked door.
And that's locked too. Now, cap
tain, we are determined to get i'll
those two cabins and we don't want
to do any unnecessary damage to your
ship. Have you carpenter on
board?"
Yes" growled the captain.
Then you'd better send for him, for
if YOU don't, l shall be under the pain
full necessity of blowing open the
locks"
The captain ran up the ladder and
babe the second mate-both mates
had been on deck during the episode
send the carpenter aft with some
tools for forcing locks. Presently a
grizzled old veteran presented himself
in the cabin and by Captain Tuggles
direction soon forced the lock of the
stateroom. Taking a lantern Seton
went into the room which had been oc-
cupied by the young women. 1t was
empty. Both hunks had been slept in,
however, and on the floor lay Ellen's
sword, belt and pistols where she had
left them.
"They were here, that's certain"
he said, turning to Mr.. Collier
They've probably gone into the
captains cabin"
What for, l wonder" growled the
American.
We'll soon see," returned Collier.
Have the carpenter open that door
also"
After fumbling a few moments the
carpenter forced open the last door.
Again Seton entered, followed by the
other two. There was no one there.
The captains eye was attracted by
the open stern window. He started,
opened his mouth to say something,
thought better upon 1t and stopped.
But there were two pairs of eyes in
the cabin Just as sharp as those OF
worthy Master Tuggles. One pair be-
longed to the sailor. Collier too,
noticed the open stern window and he
at once pointed 1t out to Seton.
81 see It all now" he said. Some
thing must have alarmed them. They
left their own cabin. locked it to keep
us busy and give themselves time,
came in here and went overheard
through the stern window"
overheard into what?" cried Sir
Charles in dismay. you don't think
they've committed suic'de?

The Brides Look.

A girl about to be married worries
80 much she begins to look like an
old married woman. In addition to
worrying about her clothes and coax
ing her folks to give her a new outfit,
she sits up too late with her young
man, and the result is an anxious,
careworn look week before the
wedding that cannot be told from the
look on the face of a woman who has
been married a year or two Look at
the next girl you meet who is soon to
be married, and you will remark that
she has aged rapidly.

The peril of the automobile, not to those
who get in its path, but to persons acquir
ing machines when unable to meet the ex
pense of original cost and maintenance, is
one of the disturbing conditions which we
face to-day.
Here is the man who saw such a rosy
side to the proposition, the machine was
such beauty. Then, too, it was just the
right size for the family; wife and he and
the two smaller children behind and the
grown son and daughter in front Then,

Generally it is an extreme injustice to
condemn a woman as heartless filrt be-
cause she allows man whom she does not
intend to marry to make her an offer of
marriage 1t is all well to say that woman
ought to know when man is in love with
her and gently to discourage his intentions
and attentions. But how can any one, not
a prophet or the daughter of prophet, be
certain about anything so elusive and de-
ceivng as man?
Of course, when a man tumbles head
over heels into sure enough love with a
woman, and means business, and nothing

Laundry work at home would be
much more satisfactory if the right
Starch were used. In order to get the
desired stiffness, it is usually neces.
sary to use so much starch that the
beauty and fineness of the fabric is
hidden behind a paste of varying
thickness, which not only destroys the
appearance, but also affects the wear
ing quality of the goods. This trou-
BILE can be entirely overcome by using
Defiance Starch, as it can be applied
much more thinly because of its great
er strength than other makes.
A married woman fixes the date OF
things by the years her children were
born in.

LYDIA E. PINKHAM

No other medicine has been so
successful in relieving the suffering
of women or received so many gen.
uine testimonials as has Lydia e.
PinIzham's Vegetable Compound.
In every community you will find
women who have been restored to
health by Lydia E. Pinllham's Veg
etable Compound. Almost every
one you meet has either been bene-
flied by it, or has friends who have.
In the Pinllham Laboratory at
Lynn, Mass, anywOmananydaymay
see the files containing over one mil
lion one hundred thousand letters
from women seeking health, and
here are the letters in which they
openly state over their own sigma
lures that they were cured by Lydia
E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
Lydia e. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound has saved many women
from surgical operations.
Lydia e. Pinlham's Vegetable
Compound is made from roots and
herbs, without drugs, and is whole
some and harmless.
The reason why Lydia E. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound is so
successful is because it contains in
gradients which act directly upon
the feminine organism, restoring it
to healthy normal condition.
Women who are suffering from
those distressing ills peculiar to their
sex should not lose sight of these
facts or doubt the ability of Lydia
E. Pinl1ham's Vegetable Compound
to restore their health.

In addition to the governors and

the tunnel system awaited the train

A GREAT SPEECH
BY NEW SENATOR

amendment to the financial bill now
in charge of the senator from Rhode
Island. then, as now, chairman of
the finance committee"
That amendment, said Mr..
Owen, contained the very essential
feature of the pending currency bill.
1t provided that any citizen could
obtain emergency notes upon security
of bonds, and compelled the return
of the notes within twelve months
and did not limit the amount that
might be issued. When that amend
ment was proposed in 1900. he said,
the chairman of the committee on
finance was in position to have writ
ten into the statutes of the United
States THE very safeguards which
he now declares essential"
He condemned the provision of the
Aldrich bill providing for the pro-
portional issue of emergency among
the several sections of the country as
one section might be in dire neces-
sity for such currency and the re-
mainder might not want it at all.
Referring to his proposed substi
tute for the Aldrich bill, Mr.. Owen
said it proposed United States notes
for emergency use instead of bank
notes and provides for their 'tfn-
stant" issue. 1t allows all national,
state or savings banks trust COM
panies putting up the necessary
security to use them. 1t provides
that United States notes may be used
as security but strikes out railroad
bonds. 1t does not limit the quantity
of emergency notes that may be is
sued. 1t requires a tax of 6 per
cent on the emergency currency dur
ing the first four months, and 8 per
cent thereafter. 1t prevents active
officers of banks from borrowing
their funds except under safeguard.
The use of deposits for speculative
buying of stocks. bonds, ETC., is pro-
hibited. Bank reserves against fed
eral deposits are required, and other
changes are made in conditions gov
erning reserves.
