SYNOPSIS.

The story opens with the introduction
OF John Stephens. adventurer, a Massa-
ehusetts man marooned by authorities at
Valparaiso, Chile. Being interested in
mining operations in Bolivia. he was de-
nounced by Chile as an insurrectionist
and as consequence was hiding. AT his
hotel his attention was attracted by an
EMlishman and young woman.
6Oshens rescued the young woman from
q drunken ofncer. He was thanked by
her. Admiral Of the Peruvian navy con-
1ronted Stephens. told him that war had
been declared between Chile and Peru
and offered him the ONCE of captain. He
desired that that night the Esmeralda. a
Chilean vessel. should be captured.
Stephens accepted the commission.
Stephens met a motley crew. TO which he
was assigned. He gave them final in
structions. They boarded the vessel. They
successfully captured the vessel supposed
70 be the Esmeralda, through strategy.
Capt. Stephens gave directions for the de-
parture of the craft. He entered the cab
In and discovered the English woman
and her maid. Stephens quickly learned
the wrong vessel had been captured.
II was Lord Darlington's private yacht,
the lords wife and maid being aboard.
He explained the situation to her lady
ship.

the Initiated Oebutante.

THAT remark" said Senator Depew,
at a dinner in Washington, that re-
mark was malapropos.
1T was, in fact. so malapropos that
it reminded me OF the dainty debu-
tante. fresh from an April dawn. who
cried out at her first dinner party:
This pudding tastes just like mus
tache cosmetic
And then, when everybody stared
at her, the debutante blushed as red
as a peony."

gered by such abominable cant, that
this vessel We have captured is not
the Chilean Esmeralda at all. but the
yacht Sea Queen. owned by Lord Oar
lington. and flying the English nag"
The hell you say"
Moreover. have not the slightest
doubt that you knew II from the first.
Now I demand some explanation. Mr..
Tuttle. What does this mean?"
He stood leaning back against the
rail facing me. the disagreeable grin
gone from his lips. his half-closed
eyes glinting uneasily.

act OF piracy. Every naval vessel OF
the civilized world will be used to hunt
us down. We shall not be safe on any

blown out of the water: II captured.
our crime means death. You have de-
liberately decoyed me into this affair
for some secret purpose OF your own;
you have involved me In your crime.
and now insist upon some knowledge
of your plan, and an explanation re-
garding my future authority on board.
"Oh. you are the captain" sneering-
". What more can you want?"
Then, II am. we will head direct

"Oh. I rather guess not:" and Tut.
ties eyes became instantly hard and
ugly. Nevertheless you're captain all
right. Just SO long rs you keep the
nose of the old girl pointed the way

ward the wheelman. The fellow was

had to say. Tuttle followed the direc-

"Oh. they all understand about It,"
he remarked. carelessly. And now l
guess maybe it's about time we gave
you the main points to chew on. Ifyoull

Stephens. I'll fetch some things ]

in a jiffy. Then I'll spin a yarn that'll
cause you to come with us willin'

There was nothing else TO do. and l

to the main deck. The charthouse
had its single door opening aft, and
was a small. plainly built structure

windows on either side. and just
enough space within to contain a

benches. l sat down upon one OF

AN INTOLERABLE ITCHING

Just about two years ago, some
form of humor appeared on my scalp.
The beginning was a slight itching but
1t grew steadily worse until, when
combed my hair, the scalp became
raw and the ends of the comb-teeth
would be wet with blood. Most OF the
time there was an intolerable itching.

as a bad. raw burn. If deep. will itch
and smart when first beginning to
heal. Combing my hair was positive
torture. My hair was long and tan
gled terribly because OF the blood and
scabs. This continued growing worse
and over half my hair fell out. was
in despair. really afraid Of becoming
totally bald.
Sometimes the pain was so great
that. when partially awake. would
scratch the worst places SO that my
finger-tips would be bloody. could
not sleep well and. after being asleep
a short time, that awful stinging pain
would commence and then l would
wake up nearly wild with the torture.
A neighbor said it must be salt rheum.
Having used Cuticura Soap merely as
o toilet soap before. I now decided to
order a set of the Cuticura Remedies
-Cuticura Soap, Ointment and Pills.
I used them according to directions
for perhaps six weeks. then left on.
as the disease seemed to be eradi-
Gated. but toward spring, eighteen
months ago. there was a slight re-
turn OF the scalp humor. COM
menced the Cuticura treatment at
once. SO had very little trouble. On
my scalp I used about one half q cake
Of Cuticura Soap and half n box Of
Cuticura Ointment in all. The first
time took six or seven bottles of Gu.
ucura Pills and the last time three
bottles-neither an expensive or te-
dious treatment. Since then I have
had no scalp trouble Of any kind.

comes to my knees and had It not been
for Cuticura l should doubtless be
wholly bald.

Horsepower.

Old James Watt established the
term horsepower in order that he
might have some basis of compari-
son of the power developed by his
engines. He measured the work
done by a heavy London draft horse
Of the Clydesdale or similar variety
during short intervals by observing
the weight it could lift against gray
ity, the horse walking on the ground
and pulling horizontally on a rope
led through pulleys, so that the
weight rose vertically. The unit
horsepower, SO established, was $50
foot pounds of work per second, or
$4,000 foot pounds a minute-that
is, $4,000 pounds raised one foe. in
a minute, $50 pounds raised 100
feet or a pound raised $4,000 feet a
minute. But whereas few horses
could do that amount of work for
more than a few seconds together, a
one horsepower engine will 60 on
producing that amount Of work in
definitely so long as it is supplied
with steam.

Absentminded.

A Canadian farmer noted for
his absentmindedness went to town
one day and transacted his business
with the utmost precision. He start
ed on his way home, however, with
the firm conviction that he had for
gotten something, but what it was
he could not recall. As he neared
home the conviction increased, and
three times he stopped his horse and
went carefully through his pocket
book in a vain endeavor to discover
what he had forgotten. In due
course he reached home and was
met by his daughter, who looked at
him in surprise and exclaimed,
"Why, father, where have you LETT
mother?"

The apparently uncorseted figure
made it's appearance in Paris some
time ago and has recently been seen
on our own shores Some OF these
figures really are uncorseted, but the
majority of them wear the new cor
sets. which are said to be the proper
thing by Dame Fashion & Co, cor
setieres.
These corsets are merely hip con-
finers. They extend only a few
inches above the waist where they
are held close 10 the figure by elias
tic. The skirt extension is cut on
corset lines with boned gorings. A
brassiere should be worn TO confine
the body little more than does the
ordinary loose frivolous garment worn
by the average woman.
This evolution in stays has evident
ly been brought about by the vogue
for the high waist line and the man
DARN bodice. But whatever the real
cause, the wise women who adopt the
fashion are going to be both healthier
and more comfortable.
