It was then that the giant wave

the sea were resolved to swallow its

second officer, outside on the bridge,

Courtenay and Boyle saw two boats

Boyle was getting the scared Chileans

Then Courtenay went to his own

dog received him with delight. for Joey

Courtenay patted his head. opened a

The half caste stewards glanced at
each other and drew together in whis-
pering groups, but the chief steward,
an EngIishman, who had turned to
leave the salon, changed his mind and
uttered low growl of command which
sent his subordinates' attention if not
their thoughts back to their work. In
the strained hush the running along
the deck of men In heavy sea boots
was painfully audible. Water could
be heard pouring through the soup
pers Steam was rushing forth some
where with vehement buster. These
sounds only accentuated the extraor-
binary truce In the fight of ship
against sea. The Kansas was strick-
en- dumb if not dead.
Something has gone wrong" said
Elsie In q low voice.
DR.. Christobal nodded carelessly.
"A burst steam pipe probably. Such
things will happen at times. We are
hove to for the moment"
He traded on the ignorance of his
hearers. The chief steward heard his
explanation and looked at him fixedly.
Ghristobal caught the glance.
81 suppose we shall lose an hour or
SO now?" he asked.
Eyes. sir. It viii be all right by the
time you have finished dinner"
The meal drew to its close without
much further talk An American en-
gineer was the first passenger to rise,
but the chief steward whispered in his
ear. He returned to the table.

quit yet. The companion hatch is

aBut-I insist on being told what is
the matter
The American knew little of ships.
Int he knew great deal about mines,
and in a mine if an accident happens
the man in charge cannot desert his
post to give information to those who
are anxious for it. So he replied la

IT may be that advocates for
county seat removal think they
are making votes for CGur d.
Alene when they try to bride the
people OF a school district by
Offering to donate lumber for a
new school house in exchange
for a certain proportion OF the
votes of the district. Knowing
their arguments ara weak they
must bride as well as promise
and misrepresent. 1t is report
ed from the southern part OF the
county that they are going so
far in their falsehoods about the
county vault at Rathdrum that
they are telling the people down
there that the county is renting
vault room in Spokane in which
to store records. 1t is hard to
believe that anyone could resort
to such falsehoods, but it is
harder still to imagine any sane
person believing them.
