CHAPTER IV.-Continued.

Their carriage soon stops near the
two small bays upon which are stu
ated the lighthouses. At little land
ing place Barnes can just discern in
the mist of the water, which adds to
the gloom of the evening, a boat with
two seamen.
To be certain, he halls and is an
swered by Emory's voice.
IT'S all right" he whispers to the
ladies and springs out of the carriage.
The next moment Emory has run up
from the landing and is standing be-
side him. Emory whispers suspicious
ly to Barnes: You get the ladies into
the boat quick. | told my men not to
come near you unless there was dan

I'll see what they want" Barnes and
Edwin carefully escort their charges
through the gloom down the little
steps that lead to the boat. Their hand
satchels being placed beside them, a
carriage robe is carefully tucked by
Barnes about Miss Anstruther.

pull out to the yacht" Then he asks
one of the two oarsmen: Have you
the Seagull's bearings?"
AYE, aye, sir. She is lying off about
a quarter of a mile nigh due south of
here.
"All right" says Edwin, examining
a pocket compass he produces. She
might have been difficult to find in the
darkness without her bearings. She's
light up, of course?"
"a mast head anchor-glim, sir" re-
plies the man.
Suddenly Edwin whispers to Barnes:

seizes boathook and pushes the cut

of the American detective rings out

feet in the darkness running down the
walk mingled with a couple of foreign
oaths.
Next there is splash in the water
and Barnes says, coolly: Hold up for
a minute, Edwin" and calls: is that

Yes, thank Cod" answers the de-
tective, who is swimming after them.

Twenty seconds after they drag the
dripping sleuth into the cutter.
You have nothing to wait for now"
says Emory, splitting out some salt
water. Get me to the yacht where |

At this, Edwin orders the men to
give way, which the Scotch sailors do
with alacrity.

Juggling With Cotton.

That part of. the report of the Blu
reau of Corporations, now in the hands
of President Roosevelt, makes sensa-
tional charges against the New York
Cotton Exchange, showing that certain
committees, acting officially, have Jug
gIed grades and staples with enorm-
GUS profits to themselves and with con.
sequent loss to the cotton producers
of the South.
1t is stated in the dispatches from
Washington that the Investigation o.
the methods of the New York spec
ulators will be further pursued
and that even more startling revela
lions may be forthcoming.
For many years the New York Cot

this prestige has declined recently. In

Vicksburg Moonshine.

A special from Vicksburg says that
S. S. Bulbs, owner of the street car
system, has decided to give the people
of the Hill City an all night electric
light schedule, despite the fact that
his contract does not call for lights
on moonlight nights.
At first blush, this looks all right,
and great many thoughtless people
will no doubt fall over one another
in order to congratulate Mr. Bulls on
his generosity.
But all is not god that glitters, and
somehow we have a faint suspicion
that there will be protest upon pro-
test when the real import of Mr.. Bull
lis vandalism soaks in on the good
people of the historic Hill City.
vicksburg has long been famed for
it's unconstitutional the kind that they
make in the mountains of Alabama
and Tennessee and sometimes in the
hills of North Mississippi-but the
genuine quality; the kind that poets
sing about, and that lovers adore with
all of the strength of feryid imagin-
atoms.
And this reminds us that there is nc
moonlight like that which spreads
its mellow rays over the hills of Vicks
burg, and across the p.acid water
of the mighty Mississippi-and tn
''Vicksburg sunset" famous through
out the world can scarce compare Wit

YOUNG LADY Sends
MONEY and CLOTHES

r. l.. Breland has received a nice
lot of clothing from Pass Christian
to be delivered individually to the
storm sufferers and also the sum of
500 with the request that it be used
for those in need.
The box and money were sent by. a
young lady, Miss Emma Trip, who
has not only shown her good and no
BILE qualities in this way, but is said
to gladly take part in all Christian
and charitable work.
The clothing and the money will be
used to help the poor and needy, just
as the young lady directed, and they
will personally distribute the money
and the goods.

the whole world is adiudged guilty
before God, and only the believer in
Christ stands justified
He said he had many things to say
to them that they were then unable
to bear Perhaps these were the
things they talked about after the res
direction, and were used by the Spirit
in guiding them into all truth, the
end and sin of which was to glorify
Jesus. We read and hear much these
days about "Spirit-filled lives" Such
lives permit no stepping out from UNI
der the blood.
"A little while, and We behold Me
no more; and again a little while
and We shall see Me-" This expression
puzzled them greatly, and they talked
it over among themselves. Seeing
their perplexity, Jesus explained to
them that while they should weep and
lament the mtimely ending of His
career, the world would rejoice over
the removal of disturbing factor;
but presently their sorrow should be
turned into joy because of His triumph
over death itself. Then their sorrow
should be forgotten, and their hearts
should thrill with an unspeakable joy,
which nothing in time or eternity
could take away from them.
And in that day We shall ask me
no question" From the day of Pen
tecost the apostles knew how Gods
ways were infinitely wiser than theirs,
and that all that had befallen them
was intended for their good and the
glory of his Son.
Hitherto We have asked nothing in

New York Cotton Exchange as the
plaything of few cotton gamblers,
who care only for the game and the
profits.
Such an exchange, properly con-
Quoted, is almost a necessity, but when
it has been divorced from all of its
legitimate purposes and becomes pros
tituted to gamblers uses, it should be
promptly corrected. Unless it is

part of the farewell address of Jesus
to his Immediate followers, and was
spoken, either in the upper room, or
on the way to Gethsemane. In less
than twenty-four hours afterward, the
speaker was in his grave. In the
omitted part of chapter fifteen, he
shows by the allegory of the vine and
its branches the close and vital re-
lation between his people and himself
He makes it clear that fruit-bearing
is their mission in life, in order that
the Father and the Son may be glo-
rified. He admonishes them to love
one another, and warns them that
they must expect the same hatred and
opposition on the part of the world
that he himself had encountered
Then he tells them of a new force
that is coming into the world, a new
and powerful ally in their work, in
visible as to sight, but whose testi-
mony shall corroborate theirs as to
the claims of Jesus Christ as the Son
; of God and the Savior of men. This
new power is the paraclete, or Holy
Spirit There is no word in our Ian
guage equivalent to the Greek term
Paraclete. 1t carries the three ideas
of Comforter, Helper and Advocate.
He again warns them of the perse
cutions they must expect, being cas-
out of the synagogues, and even killed
by those who verify thought they were
serving God by so doing. Sincerit,
. of motive is no palliation of wrong.

INCREASES
DEFENSE
ARMY AND NAVY BUDGETS
TOTAL $315,382,62O
Instead of Showing Reduction, Appro-
priation for War Force Is
Larger Than That of
Last Year
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
LONDON. Feb. 24.-The estimates for
the British defense forces for the cur
rent year that were issued today will
disappoint the peace party, for instead
of showing a reduction, as they had
hoped for, the combined estimates for
the army and navy show an increase of
s., 200, 900 without apparently any pros
pect of considerable diminution in the
future.
Lord Tweedmouth, first lord of the
admiralty, explains outright that the
future program of Great Britain Will
depend upon whether foreign powers
increase their naval forces since the
government has every intention of
maintaining the standard of the. British
navy which has hitherto been deemed
necessary for the safeguarding of inn
perial interests.
The war secretary says in a similar
statement regarding the army:
Looking to the future, am con-
WINGED it is impossible to make further
diminutions in the army expenditures
on q considerable scale unless we first
reduce the number of troops serving
abroad.
"Garrisons abroad will be reduced
whenever that can safely be done, but
If reductions in the regular army are
carried too far demand will ultimately
have to be made on the citizen forces
such as never heretofore has been con-
templated"
The army estimates total 1854, 1856 100
for 10000, and the war secretary esti-
mates for a total of $4,000 men in the
home and colonial estimates, irrespec-
tive of India, decrease of 5000 men
from last year.
The navy estimates total 1851, 597 500,
and provide for exactly the same num-
Der of officers and men as last year.
