what was the matter.

was an odd little Frenchman whose
face was tanned almost black by the
rays of the SUM- He surveyed the
would-be passenger with twinkling,
cunning eyes.
You give to me dollair?" he
queried, keeping his boat away from
the shore.
Murray took out a paper dollar and
was about to walk down the sandy
shore to the waters edge, when the
boatman gave vent to terrific whoop
and waved him back with frantic -four
ishes of his paddle.
"Queeksand, Queeksand!" he yelled.
Murray stopped short on the very
edge of treacherous pit of quick
sand. He tested it cautiously with
one foot and while it looked like dry
sand it yielded readily and sucked in
his foot greedily. The little French
man kept on shrieking warnings TO
his prospective passenger to go back.
He would not bring his boat nearer
shore, but motioned to the detective
to give him the dollar first. Murray
cut long stick from a tree and
fastened the dollar bill to an end of
the stick, then climbed out on a limb
of tree overhanging the water and
tried to hand the money to him in
this way. 1t was long and difficult

New York-Among the distin-

Prince Henry. the kaiser's brother, on
his visit to America in 1902, was Ad-
miral Alfred Won Tirpitz, the German
secretary of state for the navy. Tall,
burly, bearded, Neptune-like, appar-
emily in the prime of life, though
really approaching the age limit of
three score years, the impression
made by the personality of Germany's
master mariner was one never to be
forgotten.
Since then the name of Admiral
Won Tirpitz has gone round the world.
He is the redoubtable builder of all
big-gun battleships who causes Brit
ain so many sleepless nights. He is
the man who has reused the Father

destiny. The most illustrious of liv-

suddenly from $4,000 tons to $4,000

the Kiel canal and fortifying her
whole Baltic and North Sea coast
lines until they bristle with great
guns and mining defenses; fighting in

naval budget, restlessly and indefati-
gably drawing on the state economies

The evolution of the Dreadnought
