This was too much! He set his law,
turned over. and staggered to his
feet. Instantly n of the terrific
wind-blasts struck his broad back and
sent him spinning for yards. He
brought up in a shallow pool, beside a
hummock.
Under the lee of the knoll lay Win
thrope and Miss Leslie. Though con-
scious, both were draggled and bruised
and beaten to exhaustion. They were
together because they had come
ashore together. When the boat cap
sized, Miss Leslie had been flung
against the Englishman, and they had
held fast to each other with the des-
perate clutch of drowning persons.
Neither of them ever recalled how
they gained the shelter of the hum
mock.
Blake, sitting waist-deep in the
pool, blinked at them benignly with
his rale blue eyes. and produced the
quart flask. still a third full of whisky.

You fuddled lout," shouted Win
thrope. Come out of that pool"
"Wassama'er pool? Pools allri'!"
The Englishman squinted through
the driving scud at the intoxicated
man with an anxious frown. In all
probability he felt no commiseration
for the American: but II was no light
matter to be flung up barehanded on
the most unhealthful and savage
stretch OF the Mozambique coast. and
Blake might be able to help them out
of their predicament. To leave him
in tho pool was therefore not to be
thought of. So soon as he had drained
his bottle. he would lie down. and
that would be the end OF him. AS any
attempt to move him forcibly was out

tact.

other lull between the shrieking gusts,
the lady is fatigued. You're too much
of a gentleman to ask her to come
over there"
1t required some moments for this
to penetrate Blake's fuddled brain.
After a futile attempt to gain his feet,
he crawled out of the pool on all fours,
and, with tears i'll his eyes, pressed his
flask upon Miss Leslie. h shrank
away from him, shuddering, and drew
herself up in a huddle of faced limbs
and limp garments. Winthrope, how
ever, not only accepted the flask, but

Blake squinted at the diminished
contents. ~hesitated. and cast a glance
of maudlin gallantry at Miss Leslie.
She lay coiled, closer han before, in
a draggled heap. Her posture sug-
gested sleep. Blake stared at her, the
flask extended waveringly before him.
Then he brought it to his lips, and
drained out the last. drop.

STRIVING FOR PEACE
Anti-Taft Men Are Trying to Get
Peace on Honorable Basis to
Prevent Party Split.
Special to the Herald.


Chicago, ILL.,, June S.-The Ken
lucky contests from four districts of
that state were taken up by the re-
publican national committee this
morning. Senator Bradley, a Fair
banks supporter, leading/t the anti side
of the contest, presented forty affi-
davits alleging that Taft men had
packed the conventions in the dis
tricts involved. 1t is claimed that
regular delegates were denied admit
lance to the conventions, and that
word was sent from Washington to
federal office-holders that if they did
not support Taft they would lose their
jobs. The ants have practically
abandoned all hope of seating any of
the anti-Taft contestants, but will
carry the fight to the floor of the
convention in the hope of getting
compromise that will prevent trouble
in congressional districts in election
times. There is admitted danger of
such splits unless a compromise is
effected, and such conditions would
endanger many republican congress-
men.
