beings.
1t made me turn sick to hear them
speak so lightly of killing three of
their fellow men. We ran alongside,
and one of the river-men jumped out
and made fast to the steamer. Par
low looked apprehensively about the
boat, and I followed his gaze, which
finally settled on the brick foundation
for the boilers. l saw glad light
come into his eyes, and somehow l
jumped to the conclusion that his
treasure, whatever it might be. was
concealed in that brickwork.
Wastrow had not noticed this.
The boat was in the widest confu
sion. 1t was evident that the thieves
were literally following Parlow's sug-
gestion and picking it to pieces. The
stuffy cabin and squalid staterooms
had been absolutely wrecked. The
mattresses were slit open, planking
torn away, and every place Of conceal
ment laid bare Parlow grinned mali
ciously at the wreck Of his boat, and
| saw that he felt the keenest salts
faction at the knowledge of the three
inert things that lay out upon the
forward deck, stiffening in the drizzle
which had now turned TO sleet.
Parlow examined the corpses and
said that he knew all three of them;
they were members Of a gang Of
toughs that infested the river, and he
began to display symptoms of alarm
as soon as he had looked them over.
This amt all Of en-" he said.
There's more'n this, and they will be
coming back here and takin' pot
shot at us If we don't hurry up and
| get away" Wastrow seemed to share
this apprehension, and suggested that
we had best leave as soon as possible,
for the pirates would have every ad-
vantage Of us If they should come
back, the timber about the boat af-
fording excellent places Of conceal
ment from which they could fire upon
us with safety.
Acting upon this advice. Parlow Sc

a few lusty strokes Parlow pried out
some of the bricks, and saw q small

Guilty. 1t was heavy. and something
within It clinked like metal when 1t
was moved. With Wastrow's assist
ance he carried It to the gasoline
launch and placed It inside. Then he
fastened up the companionway into
the stuffy ONCE and dived into the
rickety stove that stood in one corner.
He scooped the ashes from tho waste
box at its bottom, and disclosed q
small ring. Pulling on this, he raised
an ingeniously contrived door which

channel on both sides with eyes that
overlooked nothing, and at the discov-
cry Of new sign Of the boats having
passed that way. they would nudge
each other and exchange glances that
boded no good for the thieves. Par
low was especially noticeable for the
steely glitter of his eyes, and l read
murder in them as plainly as l have
ever seen 1t in box-car letters on the
front page Of yellow journal.
We must have travelled a mile or
more, when, just as We darted around
clump of willows and saw a stretch
OF open water loomed ahead, there
was spiteful report far down the
lake, and rifle ball sung over our
heads. l had been under fire before,
but it happened so suddenly that
ducked involuntarily. But not so with
Parlow and Wastrow. They seemed
! to hail the attack with fiendish de-
light, and saw them stick their rifles
farther out of the open window and
sight carefully down the barrels.
Our course was changed slightly,
and as the prov of the boat swung
to the right in obedience to the rud-
der, l saw the Davy Jones tied up to
a gigantic cypress tree at the farther
side of the lake. We headed directly
for it, and there were several more
shots from its direction, and one bul.
let pumped into the woodwork Of the
cabin and sent shower of splinters
about my ears. Over the bowed heads
of the two river-men l could plainly
see the steamboat. and on its lower
deck l saw three men, each firing at
us with repeating rifle. We were
now less than 200 yards distant from
them, but neither of my companions
had replied to their fire. Our progress
target, as the sullen crunching Of bul.
lets through the. woodwork and the
splintering Of glass indicated.
/ AS coolly as II he were giving some
direction about the running of the
launch, heard Parlow mutter to his
companion:
"You take the one on your right side
and I'll take care OF the one on mine.
You say when."
Wastrow Immediately grunted his
understanding. and although he didn't
say when" he said something that
caused two fingers to curl about two
triggers. There was loud report
from their rides. sounding like a
single shot, and saw two OF the men
on the steamer crumple up like sere
leaf. stagger step or SO. and fall to
the deck. The third man turned to
run, but he had only gone far enough
to permit Of the fiinging back Of a
lever and . hasty taking Of sight be-
fore saw him pitch forward in re-
sponse to q spiteful crack from Par
lows rife.

way. Just ~ II he had been shooting
Gilpin observer., 1909-03-04

The stove had a false bottom and from
the cavity in it he brought forth three
heavy sacks which / saw contained
coins.
Wastrow had watched these pro
rowed to my Sits. l could see that
he was interested, and I didn't like
the cupidity and cunning which showed
in his entire face.
Parlow had lugged his sacks down
the companionway and started for the
launch, declining the assistance that
Wastrow offered him, and he was In
the act of stepping into the launch
when there came spiteful crack and
puff of smoke from somewhere back
in the timber, and a bullet pumped
into a stanchion beside him, to which
the launch was tied.
1t was no time for hesitation, SO
we three jumped into the launch and
Wastrow cut the rope which moored
us to the steamer. The surviving
members of the gang were returning.
and we had no desire to be trapped ON
the dismantled steamer. In trics
Parlow had started the engine and We
were headed away from the Davy
Jones. Bullets sang all around us.
and although we returned the FIRE. the
pirates were hid away in the timber.
and there was small chance of silen-
cling them. We tore through the water
with bullets skipping and ricochetins
about US on every hand until We
turned the bend in the slough. Not
until then did we draw full breath
| or feel that we were out of danger
from the murderous bandits hid back
| in the thick timber.
1t was an uneventful cruise back to
! the city. 1t having been decided that
| 1t was better to return there and send
out a strong party to recover the
stolen boat. than for us three to at
tempt it. am sure that Parlow didn't

for whenever / was awake I saw him
huddled down upon the ironbound boz

stove.

THE NEW MARRIAGE LAWS
Candidates for MatrimOny Must Show
Themselves Fit to Propagate
the Race

Under the law passed by the last
Legislature, which goes into effect the
first Of June, it will be necessary for the
prospective bride and groom to present
themselves at the Office of the county
auditor whose Outs it is to issue the
marriage license. 1t will be possible
to procure a license otherwise, but it
will be easier to face the auditor than
face others less agreeable in procuring
the afidavits. The text of the law is
as follows:
No woman under the age of As years
or man of any age, except he marry a
women over the age of As years, either
of whom is a common drunkard, habit
ual criminal, epileptic, imbecile, feeble
minded person, idiot or insane person
or person who has Heretofore been
afflicted with hereditary insanity, or
is afflicted with pulmonary tubercu-
losis in its advanced stages, or any
contagious venereal disease, shall here
after intermarry, or marry any other
person within this state.
No clergyman or other person au-
thorized by law to solemnize marriages
within this state shall hereafter per-
form marriage ceremony uniting such
persons in matrimony, unless the female
party to such marriage is over the age
of As years.
The county auditor, before a mar
rage license is issued, shall require
each applicant therefor to file in his
Office, upon blanks to be provided by
the county for that purpose, an aft
davit of at least one duly licensed
physician other than the persons seek
ing the license, showing that the con-
tracing parties are not within the in
hibition above named; provided that,
in addition, the affidavit as to the male
contracting party shall show that such
male is not afflicted with any contagious
venereal disease.
The county auditor shall also require
the affidavit of some disinterested
creditable person showing that said
persons are not habitual criminals; the
female is over the age of Is years and
the male over 81 years, unless the con-
sent in writing is obtained of the father,
mother or other guardian of the person
for whom the license is required in
cases where the female is under the
age of Is years and the male is under
the age of 81 years; provided that no
consent shall be given nor license
issued, unless such female is over the
age of IS years. Said affidavit must be
subscribed and sworn to before any per-
son authorized to administer oaths.
Anyone knowingly swearing falsely
to the statements contained in the aft
davits mentioned in this act shall be
guilty of perjury, and punished as pro-
vided by the laws Of the state of Wash
ington.
Any person violating any of the pro-
visions of this act shall, under convic-
ton thereof, be punished by a fine Of
not more than $1,000 or by imprison-
ment in the state penitentiary for a
period of not more than three years, or
by both such fine and Imprisonment.

Development in Alaska during the
summer of 1909 will exceed any
activity in that territory since the gold
rush to the Klondoke. The millions
being spent by the Guggenheim and
Morgan interests on the Copper river
has caused rush from Seattle to Cor
dova, which is now being doomed as
the coming metropolis of Alaska. The
Copper River Railroad will be finished
as far as the Bonanza Copper mines in
two years, and a permanent develop
ment of that region will then take the
place of a mining camp boom.
At the same time the Alaska Central
Railroad, out Of Seward, has been put
on its feet financially and will resume
work. Large developments are ex-
pected in the Cooks Inlet country,
and on the Kuskokwim river, which has
heretofore been little prospected.
Nome and Fairbanks will be as busy as
ever. All of this development means
a bigger market for Washington pro-
ducts, and will reflect prosperity on this
state. The rapid development of
Washington dates from the discovery
of gold in Alaska, and there is no
reason why this state shall not always
maintain a monopoly on the trade OF
the northland.

The new Seattle Armory was COM
pleted this week and the local com
panies of the National Guard of Wash
ington have taken up their quarters
there. Adjutant General Lamping
signalized his promotion by opening
the new Offices in the armory, and his
predecessor, Ortis Hamilton, will for
the time being have headquarters in
the new building and act as assistant
to the Adjutant General.
The new armory is the largest in the
state, and will be used this summer as
a convention hall for a number of large
gatherings. The state will make a
large revenue from the building by
renting it for such purposes when it is
not in active use. The mammoth
drill hall will seat more than 5000
people, making it the largest auditorium
in the Northwest. Four companies of
militia can drill on the floor at one
time with ease, and it would be no
trick to assemble the entire regiment
in the building.
