There is no accounting for the work
ings of a mans mind. Courtenay, at
no time a lady's man. most certainly
had other matters to attend to just
then. Yet here he was thinking only
of a woman's comfort. His dismal
forebodings were banished by rush
of absurd delight at the thought that
he would have an opportunity Of speak
ing to her occasionally. What brave
girl she was! What wife for sail

She almost laughed at the idea. He
bolted the door and ran into the
chart house to tap the barometer.
1t moved appreciably. 1t was rising!
All, if only the wind moderated he
could save the Kansas yet! He glanced
at the compass; still the same course
not a fraction of a point gained to the
north. That was bad. The ship was
already within the danger zone. Pray
heaven for a falling wind or even a
change to the southwark! Still, it was
in an altogether more cheerful mood
that he regained the promenade deck
and made his way toward the salon.
He was in the very act of entering
the doorway when shudder ran

Wild Tribe Of Poets.
Among the wild tribes TO be found
in the Philippines are the Bogobos, the
most picturesque people in the trop-
les. Their origin is unknown. and all
sort of opinions have been expressed
concerning them. One tale told of
them is that their first ancestors were
all poets and musicians and that the
dislike for the practical which is al
ways noticeable among them has come
down through the generations.

Bogobos say that given song or

1t has been found that the beadwork
done by them is quite like that of the
American Indian, but there is no other
likeness in the races beyond that.

CHAPTER V.

- OURTENAY waited for the
rending of plates, the tearing
asunder of stanch steel ribs
and crossbeams, which should
sound the knell of the ships last mo-
ments. But the Kansas seemed to be
in no hurry to fall in pieces. She
strained and groaned and shook VIC
lently when a wave pounded her 9th
erwise she lay there like a beaten
thing, oddly resembling the living bu
almost unconscious men stretched OH
the mattresses in the forward salon.
Courtenay did not experience the
least fear of death. Emotion of any
sort was already dead in him. He
found himself wondering if an unex-
pectedly strong current setting to the
southeast had not upset his reckoning.
if there were any broken limbs among
the occupants Of the salon, if Elsie
had been injured by being thrown
down into his cabin. He looked at his
watch. 1t was past II. In four hours
there would be dawn. Dawn! In as
many minutes he might see the day
that is everlasting. All, perhaps not
even four minutes! The Kansas, with
a SILVER, lifted to the embrace Of a
heavy sea, lurched to port and settled
herself more comfortably. The deck
assumed an easier angle. Now it was
possible to walk. There were no rocks
here, at any rate. COurtenay at once
jumped to the conclusion that the pow
erful current whose existence he sus-
pected had cut out for itself q deep
water channel toward the land and the
ship had struck on the silt of it's back
wash. Anyhow, the Kansas was still
living. The lights were all burning
steadily. He could detect the rhythmic
throb of the donkey engine. He felt
it like the faint beat of a pulse. In
her new position the ship presented
less of solid wall to the onslaught of
the sea. The tumultuous waves began
to race past without breaking so fierce
~. Had she started her plates? Were
the holds and engine room full of wa
ter? If so, Walker and his helpers
were already drowning beneath his
feet. And when next she moved the
vessel might slip away into the depths!
A man rushed by, or tried to do so.
Courtenay recognized him as leading
stoker who had temporary charge of
the donkey boiler and seized him
wrathfully, his eyes ablaze.

"Senor! The ship is lost"
"Go back and await my ordersw
He could have strangled the fugitive
In his sudden rage. The fireman en-
deavored to gasp his readiness to obey.
Courtenay relaxed his grip, and for a
time at least one member Of the crew
stuck to his post fearing the mad
captain more than death.
A mob of stewards and kitchen
hands came in a torrent up the salon
stairs. Courtenay met them, terri
flying figure, and thrust revolver in
their faces.

men said:

force Of the wind, which was rendered
almost intolerable by the flashing Of

MACHO PLAYING

M. Macho. the employment agent
who has caused the police so much
trouble on account of sending men
out to jobs which are not to be
found. and making other misrepre-
sensations to them, was complain
ed against again today by eight
Italians, each of whom paid 81 for
a railroad construction job on the

road near Ritzville at a camp con-
Quoted by Fl. c. Kempt. The men
told the police that the fare to Ritz
vile was $19o and 81 to the camp.
Macho told them. they said, that
the fare from RitZville to the camp
was only so cents. Each man.
however, was so anxious to get
work, he paid the 81 fare. But when
they reached the camp there were
no jobs for them. Then they spent
what little money they had left to
get back to town. They demanded
back their expenses of Macho, who
would not pay. One of the agree
ments the men were forced to sign
was that IL they did not get work
the camp foreman should state the
cause on the back of theh receipt.
This the foreman would not do.

RAILWAYS YIELD
NINE HOUR DAY
Spokane Operators Notified That
Victory Is Won Without Strike.

A clean victory has been won for
the interstate nine hour law, de-
signed for the relief of overworked
no strike, according to official ad-
vices received by Spokane opera
tors from ST. Paul this morning.
Theh Northern Pacific accepts
the nine hour law provision to go
into effect March without the
contemplated reduction of wages.
By this agreement the minimum
scale of SIS per month average
will be maintained, and nine
hour workday assured.
The only reservation made by
the company is the right to work
what is called split tricks. This
means that an operator going to
work in the morning may be laid
off for one or several hours during
the day when there is nothing to
do. This exception will permit
without increase Of operating
forces, as the men will be required
to put in their nine hours on time
only when there is actual neces-
sity of having an operator on duty
and will not be drawing pay for the
time they are off.
In Offices of any consequence,
however, the men will be relieved
of the ~ hour shifts without de-
crease from the wage scale now
paid. This rule affects all opera
tors except relay men on the Great
Northern. who secured eight hours
some time ago.
Another indication that the vic
tory is general came last night in
a call from Pres. Perham, of the
Order of Railway Photographers at

SINKING STEAMER
REACHES PORT

SEATTLE, Feb. 2S-Leaking like
a sieve. her bilge pumps refusing
to work and water gaining in her
hold at the rate of six inches an
hours, the steamer Santa Clara
drifted into port and locked at
pier No. 4. Then over 200 passen-
gers heaved sigh Of relief, the
first in nearly As hours, for during
that period it was a race with the
water.
The Santa Clara sailed from port
last Sunday afternoon shortly after
2 o'clock for Valdez and Seward
with over 200 passengers aboard.
Six hours out of the straits the en-
gineer reported to the captain that
the ship was leaking fast. The
steamer was turned about and a
run made for Seattle.
