Sinclair Invested himbself of his coat, rolled
back his shirt sleeves, and helped Mabel into the
little vanished punt The boatman then pushed
them off the beach; the young fellow shipped his
paddles and they very soon drew out clear of the
fringe of light surf In justice to Sinclair it must
be admitted that he rowed well, with the easy
sweeping stroke that is only acquired by long prac-
tice. But he only up-riyer sailor after that

halcyon, luling sensation of gliding over the

before beheld him, flushed he was with the ex-
ertion of pulling. They neither of them took no
tice of certain thin svery swaiths of mist which
crept insiduousy down over the green brow of the
South Foreland, and shut out the tall white cliffs
of that lofty headand.

the matter9" Her companion S face had assumed
a sudden air of perplexity as his gaze momentarily
wandered from her eyes to over the stern of the
boat. She turned her head upon her shoulder to
see what was attracting his attention; then:
''Why, where is the landR'' cried she.

"By Jove-l' began Archdale, then checked
himself and asked How far will they have got9'

few minutes later and he had vanished into
the white, steam-like smother. Buttress stood
awhile in a reverie, gazing at the Darkness, which
was beginning to wax and wane to the fleeing of
mpalpable shadows as the freshening breeze whired
the mist about.
'WOnder now why that there chap should have
troubled to go in search of them two9'' he solil-
oquized; then his bronzed face relaxed with
CLEAN of intelligence " 'Spects it s all along of

said he.
"Come along, then" retorted the girl. She
tied the strings of her wide straw hat, which had
lain upon the table, and the two of them stepped
out into the sunshine.

deed known exactly what was passing In her mind
he might have relaxed of his conplacency.
Admiration and love very distinct sentiments,
although frequently associated and confused in
the feminine fancy. And just Mabel Morris
was wondering whether she was not in some such
confusion. Not that Aubrey Sinclair OWNED any
such sentiment in the transient CLEAN of her eye
as their gaze met. For his was that species of
malekind which could not seriously conceive of
dubiety of this character Oh, for the luxury of
such sweet egotism!
''Come!' said he, dropping his bangled hand
from toying with his mustache and rising from
his sprawling attitude upon the edge of the table.
What shall do this afternoon, Mabel? Take
a walk upon the sandhills or something? 1t IS too
fine to remain bottled up in here.''
The girl, gazing thoughtfully through the win
dow caught the faint, pald flicker of surf upon
the horizon, trembling, it were, like a sinuous
white thread stretched across the junction of the
blue with the paler of the sky. She
membered that this was the famous shoal of the
Goodwin Sands, alive with breakers even on this
placid Summer afternoon. An idea entered her
head.
''You shall take me out for row to the Good
wins, - said she.
The young fellow half hung in the wind The
suggestion came as a surprise, and scarcely took
his fancy altogether.
''The Goodwins are long way OUT said he,
advancing to the window to scan the sea-
"Four milestone of the boatmen the beach

Swift Punishment Visited Upon an Oklahoma Murderine Quartet.

Ada, Okla, April l9.-A mob of 200 early this morning lynched Jim Mill Ter, B. B. Burrell, Joe Allen and Jesse West, after forcing an entrance to the jail. The men were accused of the murder of Marshal Bobbitt When the mob removed the men from the jail it did not modest oscar Peeler, r year old boy who was implicated in the murder, but had turned states evidence. The boy confessed this af- ternoon He said that Miller killed Marshal Bobbitt and that Jesse West paid Miller to commit the murder.
 The coroner's jury returned the fol- lowing verdict: We find that Jim Miller, B. B. Burrell, Joe Allen and Jesse West met their death by being hung by a rope and that the death of each was caused by strangulation produced by the rope placed about their neck by parties whose names are to the jury unknown"
 The jury ,nakes no recommendation that the flnch;ng be investigated. The county attorney declared he would investigate, but he admitted that there probably would be no prosecution.

A SLUMP IN WHEAT.

Chicago, April 19.-Bullish enthu- siasm in the wheat market waned to- day and on several occasions it re- quired the combined support of the bull leaders to check the declining tendency brought about by a general selling movement The change in sentiment was due in some degree to the heavy movement of wheat from Russia, the total exports from that country last week being 2,O56. .0OO bushels, compared with only 216,00O bushels a year ago, and to more fav- orable reports regarding the fall sown crop in this country. The market opened weak at declines of $ to IS dAc, following a break of S to 1A pence at Liverpool. but recovered partially early in the day owing to the good demand by com mission houses for the September and December deliveries. After rallying to within Ac of Saturdays close for July, the market broke sharply again on renewed selling, July declining from s1.1SA to s116. Support by bull leaders caused a mild recovery, but a weak tone developed later and new low points were established, July dropping back to SI15N. The close was weak with July s1.I6A@X May $1.27 and September SLOT. Substantial advances in corn prices were scored during the early trading, but owing to the slump in wheat, a large part of the grain was subse- quently lost. May advanced to 71Ac and July to 69c, which is the highest price recorded so far this season for these options. The September deliv- cry also rose to a new high point 6Shc. Light receipts, wet weather over the corn belt which will delay planting and a decrease of 1,659, ,00G bushels in the visible supply were the bull factors. May sold between 695s G70 to 71Ac. The market closed firm at net gains of hGA to sc with May at 7OA a 7sc.

A FUGITIvE's STATEMENT.
A High Officer Who Got Out of Con.
 stantinople in Time.

Berlin, April 19-The correspondent at Athens of the Lokal Anzeiger has had an interview with Mahmoud Mukhtar Pasha, who commanded the first army corps in Constantinople on the day of the uprising. April 1, and who has arrived at Athens on board the German steamer Bayern. The general said; The uprising was planned to occur precisely when was occupied with my duties on the Asiatic side of the Bosphorus. If the minister of war had taken the proper steps immediately, the move ment easily could have been nipped in the bud without bloodshed. I was informed too late and when I reached my headquarters l found it surround ed by a mob of thousands of people.
 T immediately collected the troops that had now become disaffected and with four battalions of infantry. three regiments of cavalry, one battery of artillery and a machine gun division, I was able through repeated attacks to disperse the people. It would have been child's play to crush this move ment at the start if authority had been given me to proclaim a state of siege, but the ministry and parlia- ment were too cowardly. I was ex- pressly forbidden to take energetic measures and the movement became an avalanche.
 Upon the sultan's proclamation of amnesty, l resigned. The next day I saw the flash of a gun before my windows, which were surrounded by ha aimed at me but missed. I made my escape over a garden wall and then through several neighboring houses which had hoisted foreign flags. Fin ally I reached the harbor where made my way on board the Bayern.
 The mutineers were encouraged by the certainty of receiving the support of the sultan for any reactionary steps,"
 Mahmoud Mukhtar Pasha is of the opinion that it is a mistake for the troops favoring the Young Turks to march on Constantinople immediately. They had better wait until the troops who are not under control become unbearable.
 The Tageblatt today published an
  Turkish military attache at Berlin transmitted by it's correspondent al Salonika- Enver Bey is now one oi the military pillars of the Young Turks He said: The counter-revo- lution will everywhere be nipped in the bud by the imposing demonstra- tions in favor of the constitution. We have received expressions of support from Smyrna and Erzeroum. We are sending for the present. thirty bat talions with artillery to Constantino- pie. Of this force the advance guard is now about twelve miles from the capitol We have rejected the offers of volunteers but demonstrations IT suDport of our purposes from all races are large. I hardly expect seri- ous resistance from the Constantino- ple garrison. The uprising of the troops in the capital was not a na- tional movement; it was not ever religious. I start this evening for tho frontier. Proofs are lacking for the assertion that the sultan caused thls uprising. He would not compromise himself and he fears too much fol the safety of the throne to nave done so."

DISSENTING MEMBER
 OF STEEL CORPORATION
Wanted to Rescind Action Taking Over the Tennessee Company.

New York, April 19.-J. A. Hodge. a stockholder of the United States Steel corporation moved at the annual meet ing held at Hoboken, N. J., that the action of the directors of the company acquiring control of the Tennessee Coal and Iron company be disapproved and that the board and officers be requested to take steps to rescind that action The motion was voted down.
 Tn a statement to the stockholders Chairman Gary said he regarded the purchase of the Tennessee Coal and Iron company as wise move and he predicted that the future would show a large profit from it. Mir. Gary stated that at the time of the organ ization of the United States Steel cor poration it controlled more than sixty per cent of the steel industry of the United States. Although it had ex- pended millions of dollars for new con- struction. the proportion of it's pro- iduction to the total production in the United States in the latter part of 1907 was approximately 56 per cent. The puchase of the Tennessee company added 2ik per cent to the total produc- ton of the corporation.
 Discussing steel conditions, Mir. Gary said there had been a gradual but slow improvement and that pros poets were bright. After the stock holders adjourned. Mir. Gary said the corporation did not contemplate an is sue of any bonds. He added that the report that the company was to estab fish plants in China was without foundation.

A CLAIM BY THE DEFENSE
That the Star Witness For the State In the Calhoun Trial Has Been Scared
 Into Telling a Story Vary ing From His Former One.

San Francisco, April 19.-With ev- cry new issue bitterly contested. the attorneys engaged in the trial of Pat rick Calhoun devoted the entire ses- sion to a minute scrutiny of the tes- timony of Ferdinand P Nicholas, for mer supervisor who is alleged to have been the recipient of a bribe offered by the United Railroads. Nicholas spent half the day testifying on re- direct examination by the prosecu- tion, and the remainder of the ses- sion was devoted to argument upon the admission of his testimony
 Assistant District Attorney Francis J. Heney. reviving a portion of the cross examination by Earl Rogers, de clared that the defense had attempted to demonstrate to the jury that Mich Olas had changed his testimony given in former trials because of the fear that he would be indicted and con victed. as was Michael w. Coffey. another member of the board. To support the adverse contention Heney called as a witness the stenOgrapher who recorded the first confession of Nicholas.
 For two hours the attorneys ar gued over the admission of this rec ord. and at the end of this period Judge Lawlor made an order admit ting the testimony for the purpose of comparison only. Heney made a somewhat heated argument in sup port of his contention. The entire proceedings of the day hung upon the fact that Nicholas. in one of the Glass cases. testified that he never discussed the matter of bribe in the overhead trolley transaction with for mer Supervisor James L. Gallagher. whereas in the pending case Nicholas declared that the matter was dis cussed before he received the alleged bribe money. Just before adjourn ment Earl Rogers began the second cross examination of Nicholas with prospect that he will occupy the stand during the greater part of tomor- rows session.
