CHAPTER II.-continued.

In week, perhaps; possibly not
for two weeks And the surgeon de-
parted.
AS soon as he was out of the room,
Giles sent for pen and paper, and
with the most painful effort, guiding
his right hand by his left, managed
to indite the following epistle to Capt
Overton:
Phoenix Inn. Portsmouth. Friday.
"Dear Sir:
This is to inform you that I met with
q most unfortnit axerdent while coming
down on the coach. My friend and mess
mate. the infant admiral which you saw
with me, had read the story of Gehu in
the Bible Homar l forget which, and
aspired to drive four horses. Which he
did, with the result that my right arm
was rentched out of place, and the rascal
ly doctor who sett 1t says l cannot use it
for some days. This is most unfortnit
1t delays the pleasure we antissipated in
our meeting You will here from me as
soon as l am recovered. The only thing
witch disturbs me is that If we both go
to Davy Jones', twill please that old cur
him. Believe me, sir
your much obliged and
Most obedient servant
GILES VERNON,
Mid. on H. NJ. S. Ajax"
Giles gave me this to read, and
pointed out several mistakes he had
made in spelling, although the tone
of the letter was gentlemanlike, as
everything was that Giles did. With
great vexation and some difficulty, he
added postscript.
"P. s.-Please excuse spelling as my arm
y very panefu G. W.
At that moment a marine from the
Ajax bounced, breathless and in great
excitement, into the room.
I'VE are to sail with the tide, to-
night, sir!" he said. THE admiral
passed the messenger on the road;
the jib is loose. and the blue peter fly
ing"-and out he ran. to notify the
other absentees.
Giles seized the paper. and added
laboriously:
"P. s. No 2. am Just enformed that
the Blue Peter is flying from the Ajax.
and that, my dear sir. signifies that we
are about to sail. Our meeting must be
postpensd. for god knose when we will
eat fresh butter again. But you shall
hear from me. G. ""
And that night We sailed with the
tide.
The Glenwood post., 1909-04-10
CHAPTER III,

We were ordered to join Sir John
Jervis' feet in the Mediterranean
without the loss OF a day, and, when
the tide served at nine o'clock that
night, Sir Peter Hawkshaw was ready
for it. The officers, who knew Sir
Peters capacity for picking up his
anchors at short notice, were general
ly prepared, and were but little sur
prised at the sudden departure of the
ship. The men. however, are never
prepared to go, and the ship was be-
sieged, from the time she showed the
blue peter until she set her topsails,
by the usual crowd Of bumboat women,
sailors wives, ,tavern-keepers. shop deal
ers, and all the people with whom Jack
trades, and who are loath to part with
him for reasons Of love or money. AL
though all Of the stores were on board.
there were market supplies to get, and
the midshipmen were in the boats con-
stantly until the last boat was hoisted
in, just as the music called the men
to the capstan bars. 1t was brilliant
moonlight night, good breeze was
blowing, and the Ajax got under way

the roads. the wind freshened and the
great ship took her majestic way

attention and they have made some
sensational advances; this especially

ADMIRAL IN ENGINE CAB
Sir Edward Seymour Rides at Rate
OF "a Miles an Hour.

NEW YORK, Oct. 15.-Admiral
Sir Edward Seymour went sight see
ing today on a locomotive of a New
York Central flyer. Seated beside
the engineer, he rode AT miles up
the Hudson from New York to Os-
sining-the first II miles in n of
the big electric engines and the re-
naming 80 miles in the cab of No.
$3.50, a. 225-ton steam locomotive.
Admiral Seymour had expressed a
desire to see what an American loco
motive could do, and as Oon as the
switches and low speed signs of the
city were left behind Engineer
Bill" Kiley gave No. $3.50 a chance
to display heFepowers. The admiral
watched the throttle open wider and
wider until on a. clear stretch of track
near Ossining9 the pointer of the
speed dial mounted to "a miles IAN
hour, and the heavy train whirled
over a-mile..of rail in a fraction less
than 43 seconds.

MARKET LOOKS
4 SOME BETTER
Investing. Public Gives
Signs Of Returning
Coppers Are Favored

The market failed to make change
of Importance yesterday, although
the general tone was considered
stronger and there was some evidence
of inclination on the part of the
public to get back into trading activ-
tiles.
That the time is opportune for
such action is in the opinion of east
ern financial writers unquestionably
true. With few exceptions they hold,
also, that the coppers present ex-
ceeding attractiveness as buys around
the present figures, which are ma
terialIy lower than a few weeks ago.
This is true Notwithstanding that
every day is making the copper out
look appear brighter, for every day
the business and industrial activities
are broadening and the time of ulti-
mate great need for copper in carry
ing out various enormous projects
is drawing nearer. .~ $.

highly active curb stock of the local
list yesterday. With the rest there
was comparatively little doing and

his sentence of two years at Walla

In speaking of his sentence Gray
said: Il have all the reasons OF
an innocent man to protest against
the sentence imposed on me for q
crime which did not commit. The
truth will some day come out, and

SCHNEIDER
CASE IS Up
ONCE MORE
MAN IS MlsSlNc
eleven YEARS

The question of whether August
Schneider, mysteriously missing
for IL years, is legally dead, and
whether his widow. now the wife of
another, is entitled to benefit by
the insurance in her favor carried
In the Independent Order of For
esters. will soon reach the supreme
court of the state of Washington
for the third time.
Mrs. Butler, the widow of Schnei-
der, has won her contentious in the
former appeals, and the completed
case with judgment will go up
this time for final action.
The Schneider matter has been
fought out in four trials in the SUI
perior court, the last of which re-
suited in judgment for $500 for
Mrs. Butler for the principal and
interest on the policy, originally
only $1,000.
Judge Huneke has ratified the
verdict of the jury and ordered
judgment entered, and the appeal
is the next step in line.
Schneider disappeared in the
summer of 1898 without giving any
cause for his action. his family
relations were most pleasant, he
had worked for seven years for
Benham & Griffiths, and was of a
saving, home-loving disposition.
The Foresters secured the country
for him, and for months advertised
him through the newspapers, but
found no trace of the missing man.
His widow believed he had been
murdered.

A R0BbER
IDENTIFIED
AS LAWYER
HELD Up A BANK NEAR
CHICAGO
(Ry United Pressl

CHICAGO, Oct. 1.-THE robber
who suicided when cornered by the
police, after robbing the d. M. Err
skine Savings bank of $500, and
who was wounded by Marshal Shee-
han during the pursuit, was iden-
titled today as Lamar II. Harris,
an attorney of Los Angeles. Cal,
by Highland Park police, where the
robbery occurred.
Harris fled from Los Angeles
several weeks ago, after money
troubles. Cashier Duffy. suspect
ing a plot to rob the bank, hastily
closed the vaults, thus saving a
considerable sum for the institu-
ton.
Duffy said: "The man first came
into the bank In the morning. asked
a casual question and went away.
He returned in the afternoon in an
automobile, accompanied by an
| other man. He entered the bank,
spoke to me and then returned to
the auto. This aroused my suspi
cions. Later he entered, thrust q
revolver in my face and ordered
me and other bank attendants into
the cashiers cage. Then he grab.
bed the money. telephoned to the
marshal"
The robbers chauffeur had let
the auto engine stop and he had
difficulty in starting 1t quickly. A
running battle with the police fol-
lowed. The marshal shot the rob-
Der near the heart, and the robber
then ended his life.

over with thin layer of cement at
a cost of 100000. 1t is said such
a reservoir can be built for 5000.
Reuterdahl at the meeting Of the
city council last night said that he
would not accept the responsibility
If such a reservoir were built, that
