CHAPTER XII,

"Of course said Gordon Bennett,

4 am glad you have come to S,ich
a sensible conclusion" I replied, lean
ing over the edge of the boat and trail
ing my hand in the water, although |
knew such an act is always irritating
TO the one who manipulates the sail.
"And no doubt you think I'm a very
fresh sort Of a chap"
| preserved an ostentatious silence.
J Il am answered" he said, with a
vexed laugh; found guilty on my own
indictment. But | hoped you would
not agree SO unreservedly."
i wiped my hand on my handker-
chief, spreading the latter to dry in
the sun, and looking out to sea with
apparent absorption in the horizon.
Zone a and one side of your face
are very red. Is it sunburn or wrath ?"
THE sun is hot" l replied, with alac-
rity. Perhaps we had better go
home. Will you steer for the shore?"
Not on your life! I've got you
out here now, and ! intend to keep
you. You are powerless, MAIDEN

We had been spending the morning
,on the water, a not infrequent occur
renee of late, and until the introduc-
ton Of a certain unfortunate topic |
had enjoyed myself immensely; for
the day was perfection, and my COM
panion thoroughly understood the
management Of his boat, as well as
the art Of being agreeable.
The conversation had somehow
.drifted to the robbery at the hotel,
and | had thoughtlessly mentioned the
-afe in our dining room and Lady
Edith's jewels reposing therein for
protection. He had protested against
our assuming such a responsibility,
and urged their immediate return to
their owner, which proposition | de-
eclined to consider, and the argument
waxed hot, ending with an emphatic
assertion on his part that we should
not be allowed to leave home again
without a guardian. This had been
the last straw, and | had replied with
nm asperity which called for the re-
mark at the beginning of this chapter.

The lumber kings desirs a tariff,

BEST STOMACH
REMEDY FREE

II is an old saying that if the stom-
ach is sound the whole body is safe,
because so much depends upon the
proper working of the stomach. Many
persons find themselves with a dis
order of the stomach which pro-
duces dyspepsia OF a peculiar state OF
biliousness.
II you suffer from both stomach trouble
and constipation o are on the way to a
very serious disease. From just such con-
ditions come appendicitis, rheumatism.
skin diseases and similar disorders. be-
cause the waste matter that should have
been dispelled from the system through
the bowels has found its way into the
blood and vitiated it. What is needed at
this point is not simply a violent cathar-
tic tablet or salt. which usually does more
harm h good, but a gentle laxative

The school-garden idea has been re-

Absolutely Without Excuse

The only excuse for a tariff tax
which does not pour revenue into the
treasury of the government is that it
shelters an American industry which
could not flourish if exposed to alien
competition. In the case of stockings
and also in the case OF gloves, this
excuse for higher duties does not
exist, for both manufactures are well
established and prosperous under the
lower duties imposed by the Dingley
hill

Tastes like things that they've

Far better to scramble our eggs.

Till this strike of the poultry is ended
And we don't have to scramble our

Mr.. Armstrong started to use Pari-

was entirely dead and in such case
there is no good reason why Partisan

THE BASEBALL UMPIRE.
Very Different From the Fight Referee
or tho Race JUDGE.

Good umpires are rare In the whole
country there are not more than ten
first rate ones. The combination Of
the keen eye. nimble brain and cold
nerve is not common one.
The umpire is the chain lightning of
baseball. His decisions are rendered
in the fifth part Of second. He rem
ders them knowing that he must stand
by them afterward. no matter what
happens. Every man inside the fence.
whether blinded by prejudice or loyal
ty to the home team. sees the same
things and therefore feels that he has
a right to his own opinion. but the
umpire Is the one man who is paid to
know what he sees.
The prizetight referee sometimes has
to decide which boxer won hard bat.
tie. He has had time in which to re-
view the situation. The whole moving
picture of the fight stretches backward
In his memory. Should the choice
prove a difficult one there is always
the comfortable middle ground-the
draw decision. in which neither man
wins or loses. The baseball umpire
can render no draw decisions. The
man is safe or he is out.
When two race horses come nodding
down to the wire and two noses dash
by the post so close together that Z
finger breadth means thousands Of dol
lars to the hackers, the race track
judge may fall back on the dead heat
The baseball umpire has no dead heats
Watching foot and ball. he must know
which one was first. He can confer
with no one. Right or wrong. the
judgment must be made in the twin
king of an eye. f. Van Loan in
