liquid hot, acrid, and singing. He
gulped, swallowed, slobbered, choked,
coughed attempted to sit up, was
aware that he was the focal center of
ring of glazing, burning eyes, like
eyes Of ravening beasts; and tainted.
His next cousious impression was of
standing up, supported by friendly
arms on either side, while somebody
asking him if he could walk a step or
two.
He lifted his head and let it fall in
token Of assent, mumbling yes; and
looked round him with eyes wherein
the light of intelligence burned more
clear with every second. By degrees
he catalogued and comprehended his
weirdly altered circumstances and
surroundings.
He was partly seated, partly held
up, on the edge of the cabin sky-light,
an object of interest to some halls
dozen men, seafaring fellows all, by
their habit, clustered round between
him and the windward rail. Of their
number one stood directly before him,
! dwarfing his companions as much by
his air of command as by his uncom-
mon height: TALL thin-faced and sallow
with hollow weather-Worn cheeks, a
mouth like a crooked cash from ear
to ear, and eyes like dying Goals, with
which he looked the rescued up and
down in one grim, semi-humerous,
semi-speculative glance. In hands both
huge and red he fondled tenderly a
squat brandy flask whose contents had

jealous care in one of his immense

hand in a grasp that made the young
man vince. You're syfe enough now.

For the memory of the errand that

kirkwood's anger cooled apace; at
worst it had been fare of passion
incandescent. It was seldom more.
His brain clearing, the temperature OF
his Judgment quickly regained it's

distortion, weighed them without ex-
aggeration.
Leaning against the combing, feet
braced upon the slippery and treacn-
erous deck, he chung to tiller and
mainsheet and peered ahead with
anxious eyes, a pucker Of daring
craven deep between his brows.
A mile to westward three or more

shore At times she was invisible;
again he could catch merely the CLINT
of her canvas, white against the dark
loom of the littoral, toned by mist OF
flying spindrift. He strained his eyes,
watching for the chance which would
take place in the rake of her masts
and sails, when she should come
about.
For the longer that Vancouver was
deferred the better was his chance OF
attaining his object 1t was a forlorn
hope. BIT in time the briGantine, ta
escape Maplin Sands, would be forced
to tack and stand out past the light
ship, the wind off her port bows. Then
their courses would intersect. 1t re-

Woman Near Montrose Compelled to
Go Far in the Blizzard
Enr Helm

For Help.
Montrose, Feb. lone of the odd
incidents of the blizzard was the acct
dent that happened to Mr.. and Mrs
Hanks, a strange couple who have
bees living in a tent on the hillside at
Bluff Park just below here. The couple
put up their tent last summer and have
since been living in it, Friday the
blizzard blew the tent down. Hanks
was i'll in bunk and could not help
himself. Mrs. Hanks, without shoes
and with only shawl thrown over her
head started to Montrose, a mile away,
to get help. She walked the entire
distance in the snow and bitter cold in
her bare feet. When she arrived in
this city she accosted several men,
who were not inclined to go with her
on account of the reputation which her
husband had for shooting at strangers.
She finally, however, secured help and
the tent was once more put in shape

himself dropped as if shot, trailing

stung as the boom thrashed overhead.
1t was as close a call as he had known,
the knowledge sickened him a little
Without rising he worked the paint

crawled back into the cockpit No
pang Of compassion disturbed him as
he abandoned the fisherman to the
mercy of the sea; though the fellow
lay still, uncouthly distorted, in the
bottom of the dory, he was in no dan

For that matter, the man was even
then recovering, struggling to sit up.
Crouching to avoid the boom, Kirk
wood went forward to the bows, and,
grasping the mooring cable, drew it ia,
slipping back into the cockpit to get

was a struggle; the boat pulled slug
gishly against the wind, the cable inch

could hear a voice believing inarticu-
late menaces, and knew that in an,
other moment the fisherman would be
at his oars.
Frantically he tugged and tore at the
Shiny rope, hauling with a will and q

the end, but he seemed to have fought
with it for ages when at last the
anchor trippeG and he got it in.

A yell of rage doomed down the

There was more trading in the curb

New York, Sept. IL. II. w says:
Sentiment here is very badly mixed.
The street does not understand the
market in steel yesterday. over Co.,
900 shares were traded in at a net de-
cline of per cent. There was story
that Mr. Gates had returned to the
market on the bear side. and has been
operating in steel This of course
can not be confirmed.
The market paid practically no at
tention yesterday to numerous favor
able developments, such as the in
crease i'm the Atchison dividend. in
creased realty dividend, etc.
For two days the market has had a
good deal of liquidation to take care
of and il Is entitled to a rally. How
ever. on any such rally | should not
hesitate to sell stocks.
We read i'm the newspapers that the
public are not carrying stocks. This
is not so, and l think If any one will
compare his margin account today
with his account as IL stood on jan
| this year. he will probably find that
he is carrying a great many more
stocks today than he was then.
The Bank OF England rate is up this
morning. The banks have called a
great deal of money and 1t is expect
ed they will call more. A great many
houses are making all Industrial loans.
which would seem to prove that the
public must be carrying an unusually
large proportion of Industrial stocks.
Speculative sentiment has received
moro or less of chill, and for the
time being. I think the only thing to
do Is to sell stocks on the rallies
