Courtenay's voice came to them:

can't swear before ladies. l shan't

Elsie drummed an impatient foot on
the deck. There was little pause.
Isobel closed her eyes lazily, but she
opened them again when she heard
her friend say:

dear Indeed. it is no pretense on my
part. You cannot imagine how that
man Ventana prosecuted me. The
mere suggestion of any ones paying
me compliments and trying to be fas-

Isobel Barring raised her head from
the cushions.
"Ventana was a determined wooer,
then? What did he DOR she asked.
"He-he pestered me with his atten-
lions. Oh, should have liked to fog
him with whip!"
HE was always that sort Of person
too serious" And the head dropped
again.
The steward returned. He was a
half caste. His English was to the
point.
"De capt'in say he busy. he no come, -
was his message.
Elsie's display of irritation vanished
in a merry laugh. Isobel bounced up
from the depths Of the chair. Her
dark eyes blazed wrathfully.
"Tell him she began.
Then she mastered her annoyance
sufficiently to ascertain what it was
that Captain Courtenay had actually
said, and she received a courteous ex-
PLANTATION in Spanish that the COM

CLARKE SHORTAGE BEING CLEARED UP Charged With S15,0O0 That
 He Never Received SUIT IS STILL PENDING c. E. James Arouses Interest In the Scheme for New Railroad From
 Louisville To Pensacola
 By Gadsden.
SUIT IS STILL PENDING

Gadsden, August 1.-(Special) )-The al- ,-eged shortage of ex-City Clerk c. D. Clarke was somewhat cleared up last night when ex-Mayor Smith ex-Treasurer Miller and Mir Clarke went to the city hall and Mir Clarke pointed out the item on the books that led to much of the trouble. It was shown that the clerk had been charged with s15,0OO from the sale of certain bonds, which money, as a mat ter of fact, he had never received. The money had passed directly to the treas urer, and should not have appeared on Clarke's books. It had been placed there by an expert accountant who checked up MT Clarke's books, and who thought the transaction ought to show on the books of the clerk, but who failed to get a cer- tificate of the treasurer showing that the money had been properly accounted for.
 This left MT Clarke short on the face of his own records, and 1t was only by comparing the books of the clerk and the treasurer that the true facts were dis closed. This item accounts for most of the alleged shortage, but 1t Is still con- tended by the present administration that
