The skipper of the steamer Arklam
muttered something uncomplimentary
under his breath, but producing a
bulky pocketbook extracted several
bills therefrom and passed them to
the mate, who thrust them into his
pocket and faced his superior with a
satisfied smirk.
Now that's settled, let's run over
your scheme again, so as l can get
my right bearin's," he said pleas
antly.
When we get to Buffalo you fix
yourself up with phony beard an
wig, an if Miss Antrim comes askin
for you I'm to tell her Capt. Brundage

tain. IF she once heard my voice it

"Oh, aw right" responded the mate.
only she must be bigger fat-head
than she looks if she swallows that.
Who'd ever believe as a company ud
hire a deaf dummy for captain of
big steam freighter?"
She's got to believe it," returned
the captain. Anyway, If she sees
me at all, it'll be only for a few min
utes, and the news of my death ill
upset her so that she won't stop to
figure out them little details"
1T wouldn't upset me-" retorted the
mate. Seems like she oughter be
joyful to hear it, if she's got any
sense"
"That'll be all from you," growled
Brundage in high dudgeon. "Just hold
your jaw and do as you're told"
Shortly after the Arklam tied up at
the Buffalo docks She was boarded
by a buxom young damsel with de-
termined chin and q pair of snappy
black eyes. The watchful mate
greeted her at the gang plank, and
she acknowledged the salutation with
a gracious smile.
Good morning, Mr.. Prout," she
said. us Capt Brundage around?"
The mate twisted his features into
a becoming semblance of grief.
Pm sorry to say that I've got bad
news for you, Miss Antrim" was the
response. He hesitated and shook his
head sadly.
What's the trouble?" inquired the
girl. her face shade paler at the
sight of the mates dolorous visage.

the mate in a hoarse whisper. Hes

The girl drew sharp breath.

Miss Antrim dabbed handkerchief
hastily across her eyes. How did

The girl followed him, and seating

urgent demand for st. Paur, which
was unexplained by any news deyel-

been threatened because he counsels
the negroes of Chicago to be cain.
pending an investigation of the
Springfield riots. Yesterday he re-
ceived an anonymous letter contain
ing the following statements:
You are nothing but a coward The
people of Chicago ought to lynch you
or run you out of the city. The mol
don't pick people to lynch; they kill
anyone. l shall see that you will
change your statement or that you
are run out / am one Of the mem
bers Of the church They ought tc
kill you, for YOU are nothing but q
white folks niger"
