There was a sudden scream from
Mistress Debbie. The boat in which
she sailed met with a sudden check.
The little cutter grated upon the edge
of the shoal. Ellen sprang to the
helm, forgetful of everything else but
the present peril. Her boat go
ing at a rapid rate had taken ground.
She hoped that the touch had been SO
light that the boat would not be
stopped and wrecked. Indeed, she
flung herself violently to starboard
and the sudden shock swung the boat
of the shoal. There was a scraping
of sand beneath the keel and the
little shallop slid on.
Sir Charles was close aboard. Not
being a sailor, he had not noticed, and

Charles offering reward upon reward

the other boat, these men forgot the
peril. If, indeed, they knew 1t. For
coming down at full speed and draw

Ellen's cutter, they ran hard and fast
upon the shoal.
Ellen had counted upon their doing
this very thing. She looked back with

TAFT GAINING STRENGTH.
Independent Political Writer Finds
Republican Candidate Popular.

Walter Wellman. the Washington
correspondent OF the Chicago Record
Herald, thinks Taft is gaining strength.
Writing of his candidacy recently he
said:

after the Chicago convention there was
in the East. at least. an undertone Of
prejudice against Judge Taft. sprinsing
from the belief that he was II mere

been nominated but for the President $
aid. and that he is only stalking horse
for the man at Oyster Bay. Curiously
enough, many men who like Roosevelt,
and would vote for him If lie We're to

APPEAL TO
CHRISTIAN CHURCH
Made by Judge Taft in Behalf of
the FiIipinos.
"a Great Missionary Work That Is
Certain to Promote Christian Civ
ilization."

The extension of vitalizing Chris
tianity among the Filiplnos as advo-
Gated by Judge Taft both before his
speech OF acceptance of the nominn-
tion to the presidency and in that doc
ument itself has been widely COM
mented upon in the pulpits OF the
United States. The voice of the cler-
gy has given earnest commentator
to the attitude of Judge Taft, who
when governor general of the Islands
eXcrted the utmost influence for
amclioration of the condition of the in
habitants of the archipelago, and that,
too. at the cost of great self-sacri1ce
on his own part in refusing the seat
on the supreme bench, to which he was
both called and commanded by Presi-
dent Roosevelt.
Never since he first assumed the bur
den of the governorship of the Philip
pines has the welfare of the Filipinos
ceased to be close to the heart of
Judge Taft. In his speech of accept
ance again he reminded the Americans
that 1t is the duty OF this country as
| a strong, Christian and enlightened rn-
| ton to give spiritual as well as ma
terial aid to the distant brown breth-
rem.

When we come to contemplate the
vast field of natural western resources,
available for food, for industry and
for commerce, when we attempt to
grasp in one act of thought, the
length and breadth and depth of the

loaded this section; when we try to
realize how every possible want, every
material aspiration of man can be
beautifully provided for; when we
consider how measureless are the
values which will spring into being I'M

with the west, and how these values
when once created are solid and real.
can be Incorporated into the endur-
ing structure of human society, we
may begin to estimate properly the
measure of responsibility which rests
upon this nation and its chosen rulers.
This Is not merely to preserve I'M
harmed the priceless boon OF civil lib
erty which leaves the individual citi-
zen free to do his share in work of
development, but to adopt such meas
ures as will prevent the waste of nat
ural resources, clear the way of
progress and promote the final triumph
| of civilization. The record of the Re-
publican party Is one of progress.
AIIurinE Vision of Greatness.
Judge Taft not only knows and
loves the west, and favors developing
it to the maximum limit but he also
knows Japan, China, the Philippines,
| the South Sea Islands and all the
South American republics whose Shores
are washed by the expansive Pacific
| ocean and whose products are destined
| to augment the commercial supremacy
| of our Pacific coast cities and the
| trade centers on all the transconti-
mental railroads. His well-known pol
| icies provide for the west as well as
| the east, the north and south and far
away possessions.
Looking at the great War Secretary
| from this viewpoint. is there any won
der that the west is for Taft and Sher-

on the unwritten law to save the life
of her son. Mrs. T. j. Carter today,
at the preliminary hearing of Irwin
Carter, charged with the killing of

family council decreed the death for
the suitor of Buelah Carter, 16 years

Gagby was an admirer of the
young woman, and was shot down at
her bedroom window.
Shaken with sobs. Mrs. Carter told
on the stand of her discovery of a
letter written to the girl by young
Bagby. son of a neighbor. Buelah
confessed.
At the family council, George Har-
ris, Mrs. Carter's brother, advised
that Bagby be killed, she said, and
took to the Carter home his own re-
volver, the weapon with which Bagby
was slain. She had caused her
daughter to write two letters TO
Bagby advising him to call at her
home again. What was in the let
ters she did not know.
Harris. the uncle, when on the
stand told of being summoned to
/ the Carter home. He said that he
had advised young Carter to kill
Bagby, believing that he was justi-
I fled He related how watch was
kept through the night for the ap-
proaoh of young Bagby. Officials
say that Harris will be- arrested as
an accessory to the killing.
Other arrests are expected to fol-
low. The prosecution is endeavoring
to learn if both shots fired into the
body of young Bagby were from
weapons in the hands of young Car

used. and the sheriff, from the first.
