He sighed heavily. and she hung her
head. Hawcastle looked toward the
open door of the room and touched his
son upon the shoulder. When they had
reached the door the earl looked back
and shook his fist at Pike.
You haven't heard the last OF this,
curse you" he said and disappeared
quickly. Lady Creech, who had been
in semi-swooning condition. came
suddenly out Of her trance and gazed
sharply about her.
Don't humble your words" she
said sharply and rose to her feet
With whitening glance at Pike she
turned to Ethel.

terrible place is not for you. Let us

Horace came suddenly to life and
closed his dropping jaw. He stepped
forward and faced the old lady.
"My sister will remain for a time,
Lady Creech." he said. 81 will look
after her-fn the future"
Lady Creech put up her lorgnette
and stared at him and with naughty
sniff left the room with the air of
conqueror Pike gazed after her whim-
sically.
There goes the last Of the en-
presses" he said and looked down at
his feet.
Twice Ethel essayed to speak. and
twice she put out her hand in his d.
rection, and both times she failed.
Then. with choking little sob. she
picked up her dress and fairly ran
from the room Horace followed her
quickly. and Still Pike stood there in
an attitude Of incomprehension.
The point he had striyen for had
failed. He had shown this girl the
true rottenness Of the people she Ind
tried SO hard to ally herself with, and
the knowledge had failed to move her.
His brilliant plan had recoiled upon
his own head and had resulted In more
firmly impanting sense of duty in
her heart. He saw no way out now.
at first 1t had been a desire-now it
had become duty. and he wondered
if he had the right to withhold from
her her patrimony.
1t was not until he saw dark
figure with q bag in its hand walk
quickly down the steps and out through
the entrance garden. not until he had
heard the creak of carriage springs
and the muttered directions and then
the crunch of the wheels, that lie
awoke. He called passing servant
Mariana. 1t proved it be-and question
ed him.
"Nho was thatY" he asked.
Mariano bowed deeply.

NO MORE SPOONS
AT THE CAPITAL
Loveiorn Couples VIII Not Be Allowed
to Gush About on the
Premises.

Gov. B. F. Carroll and his fellow
members OF the executive council have
declared war on love sick couples who
infest the beautiful state house
grounds after nightfall. The order
has gone forth that spooning on the
capitol grounds. must stop and state
house policeman will patrol the
grounds from p. m. until 2 in the
morning, or as much later as neces-
sary
Complaints that pairs of young peo-
pie from the east side have taken pos
session Of the grounds each evening
and remained there unchaperoned I'M
til midnight and later reached the
ears of the governor and his advisers.
At meeting of the council it was de-
cided that this is inimical OF the
peace and dignity of the state. So
Custodian Boutin was instructed to
appoint an extra policeman whose
duty it shall be to shy away spoon
ers" and mischief-makers
There has been considerable mis-
chief-making and loafing going on
said Governor Carroll. Some of the
flower beds have suffered and it has
been thought best to have the grounds
patroled after dark. Spooning is all
right, perhaps, in its proper pace, but
there is limit to all things"
Colonel Boutin said that the spoon
ing on the state house grounds lately
has been something fierce" He has
appointed John Troutner, of Charles
City, to serve as special policeman
and to patrol the grounds from p.
M until 2 a. m.

saw Ethel standing at the head Of the
steps, and there was a sad look upon
her face.

next morning. Perhaps she had

Daniel appeared at the top Of the
steps and, seeing the pair, came slowly
toward them. AS he reached the table
where they sat he addressed Almeric.

Almeric started violently, but Lady
Creech arose and, with a naughty

miles, according to the report OF the
weather bureau.
With the increasing wind the bar
ometer began to drop, falling slowly
until about $3.50 when 1t took almost
q sudden shoot downward, reaching
1855 at 10 a. m. At this time the
storm was at its height, the wind blow
ing gale aud the streets were filling
with water backed up from the bay
front through the sewers. Cellars
were flooded, and this in the whole
sale district is what will caus1 the
greatest damage.
Damage Outside Of Wall.
So short was the duration OF the
storm here that the Mallory limo
steamer which was booked to sail for
New York shortly after the noon hour
left on schedule time.
The greatest damage done by the
storm was to the structures outside
the sea wall. The new $4,000 fishing
pier of the Beach Fishing and Amuse-
ment Pier, which extends 1000. feet
out into the gulf, was destroyed. as
was the Breakers Bathhouse, and the
Murdoch bathhouse, in addition to the
old fishing pier erected some time
ago by private parties. These struc-
lures were all located opposite the
heart OF the city, between Nineteenth
and Twenty-sixth streets. The new
bathhouse Of the Surf Bathing COM
pany escaped damage.
Seven miles out in the gulf the fish
ing pier Of ]. w. Chapman, known as
the Bettison pier, was badly damaged,
and is reported this evening as being
destroyed. At the pier was party
Of thirty-efgnt persons. This morning
they were rescued in the heighth OF
the storm ~ the pilot boat Texas,
the officers and crew doing heroic
work.
Fishing Resort Destroyed.
At the fishing pier managed BY
Capt. Bettison, located on the north
jetty, one mile this side Of Bettison's
was party Of sixteen. Every effort
was made by the Texas and by the
pilot boat Mamie Higgins to reach
these people, but the high waves pre-
vented the boats from coming too
close to the rocks. When the tug
boat Clark and pilot boat Texas made
q second trip late this afternoon to
| Tarpon fishing pier, in the hope OF
rescuing those marooned on the jetty,
| it was found the house built on the
rocks had been swept away, carrying
with 1t at least sixteen people, includ-
ing Capt. r. L. Bettison, manager and
owner Of the pier, and his wife.
It is impossible to get an accurate
| list Of the lost, owing to the fact that
the register has always been kept at
| the pier which was destroyed.
Friends in, Galveston set forth a
faint hope that 1t may be possible that
all or part OF the people on the pier
mighth have secured wreckage from
THE pier and floated to the Bolivar
shore. In view of this hope the launch
! Clifton made the trip to Bolivar this
evening, returning shortly after
o'clock the captain reporting that nc
trace Of the parties lost had been
found.

THE AUTO INDUSTRY

Agents of we'll established automobile concerns complain that because of the demand for motor cars, they are unable to make prompt deliveries to purchasers The same conditions prevail all oyer the country. We are in the midst of a wonderful motor car age. This year the automobile companies are building more cars, for a greater number of buyers, at higher total cost, than ever before. It is certain that 1909 will make new re- cords for this booming industry, in the United States. The output of the factories is estimated at 82,000 vehicles worth about $98, ,4OO,O ,OO0. These are big figures. They put the number of auto mobiles built in this country in 1909 far above the number owned Ill any one country of Europe. The output of American factories this year will be 50 per cent greater than it was last year and more than four times as large as it was in 1904, only five years ago.
