CHAPTER xI.-continued.

Darlington was armed He hauled
a pistol from his belt, cooked it and
leveled it fair at Strathgate.
Bring that boat into the wharf"
he cried, @or I'll shoot you like the
dog you areH
Strathgate did not blanch. He bal
Gnced himself easily to the roll of the
boat and looked square at Caring
ton
would you add murder to your 9th
er follies?' he answered.
He was an easy mark the distance
was short, Darlington was a sure shot,
and if ever a man had murder in his
heart it was in that of Ellens hus-
band. Yet there was something in
the dauntless way in which Strath-
gate faced him and in the fact that
the latter appeared unarmed, that
caused Darlington, with finger
upon the trigger, to stay the pressure,
why don't you fire, my lord?'
cried Strathgate
DRAW your weapon. Strathgate,'
said Darlington, dropping the point Of
his own pistol.
I'm sorry to say that I'm unarmed.'
There was no use, Darlington could
not kill him under the circumstances.
He stood staring after him for mo-
ment. and then raised his hand and
shook it in the air.
God have mercy on you if I meet
you again" he cried.
Take the peril to yourself, Lord
Darlington" Strathgate called out.
and with a farewell wave of his hand
the cutter shot out beyond the eXtrem-
ity of the pier, and, catching the full
force of the breeze, which happened to
be blowing straight up the harbor, ne
cessitatiug a hard beat out against it,
bore away toward the opposite shore.
Pistol in hand, Darlington turned
and confronted the astonished crowd
which had gathered in his rear.
What went he after?' he asked.
The men facing him looked from
one to another
Darlington thrust the pigtol back
into his belt. tore out his pocketbook,
opened it, and took out a ten-pound
note.
"That for information
One of the men whose boats Strath-
gate had disdained to employ forced
his way through the crowd
I'll tell you for the money
Speak ont tbs yours"
'He come down here lookin for a
man and a woman, and Cooper, he
owns the boat yonder, said his broth
err put a party containin man and a
woman aboard the Flying Star or a
ship like her last night"
What them asked Darlington.
Then he offered a hundred pounds
for the tastes boat to put him aboard
the Flying Star afore she got clear
into the channel
And he took Cooper's boat" said
another boatman
us she the fastest in the harbor?'
We'll. there's some as do say that jim
Haight's boats got the heels of her"
Here's your ten pounds said Car
rington. Where's Haight?'
Here l be, master
"A hundred pounds to you, said
Darlington, IF you put me aboard that
ship, and another hundred if you put
me there before Strathgate"
And If ! don't do neither?' re-
turned Haight quickly.
Nothing" said Darlington. It's
win or lose"

Lady Carrlngton's Luck.

About two O'Clock in the morning
as Ellen had expected, the breeze
sprang up 1t blew ftfully in cat S
paws and light battling airs at first
Ellen made the most of every posi-
bility presented, however. She was
desperately anxious to get to Ports
mouth and she handled her boat with
all her accustomed skill, rejoicing in
her possession of it.
She did not awaken Debbie She
let the boat drift while she herself

.SISAL LAND
ON KAUAI BEACH
GOVERNOR FREAR GIVES REA-
SONS FOR FAyORlNG PUTTING
IT up FOR SALE

Governor FrUr has answered some
criticism which has been made since
the announcement UI the intention of
selling about 1900 acres of beach land
uu the west coast of Kauai for sisal
raising purposes The Governor states
that his action In this matter has not
Zoo amy way been counter to- the policy
which he expressed az the Commercial
club luncheon The land i'm question
be states. is simply a strip Of beach
land entirely devoid of any useful veg
citation. and which will never be good
for anything than possible sisal cul-
turo. Less than 500 acres OF sisal
would bee Improbable for anyone. so
The strip has been cut mp into four
blocks. The government will get not
less than $1,000 from the sale, besides
the taxes which it will bring after it
becomes productive For the next
twelve years e would be tied up, as ~
was q part Of the Knudsen Brothers
lease. but they have volunteered to
surrender their lease in order to have
it sold because it would require five
years to get a first crop Of slsal, and
they do not care to go to the expense
for so short a time. The land will be
sold at auction, SO that any one may
! have a chance at II. Owing to the
terms on which the government will
sell it, an expenditure of between $25,-
600 and $4,000 exclusive of the cost
Of the manufacturing plant will be re-
quired by whoever purchases it, to be
J made within five years time.

Will Rally at Gier's Hall
to Hear Speeches

young mems republican club will hold
mass meeting Friday evening at
Glers hail. Fourteenth street near
Washington. Prominent leaders in the
anti-machine campaign Will address
the voters of the fifteenth senatorial
district in behalf of John w. Stetson's
candidacy for state senator from that
district
Stetson has the support of men like
Mayor Frank X Mott and William r.
Davis. He will be heard in a talk
on the real issues of the fight
Stetson represents the type of the
new politics. the kind OF politics that
was successful In Kansas yesterday,
when Joseph l.. Bristow. the man who
prosecuted the postofilce department
frauds, won a handsome victory for
United States senator over Chester
Long, the incumbent, notoriously a
member OF the national machine, a link
in which is the Herrin organization in
California.
As assemblyman from the fftieth dis
trfct, Stetson won the confidence of his
constituents by his clean record, which
is free from the slightest taint of the
machine. He is Independent, inteHi-
gent. and possesses the moral courage
which is demanded by the people in
this campaign against corrupt control
of the republican party.
