tackle for hosting her, when loaded,
over the bulwarks. We dashed the
Donna Tsabels helm again, and dis
patched Dade into the cabin after sup
plies. The greater portion of the
stores brought from the Sea Queen,
more especially the canned goods, re-
manned intact, and we packed these
away snugly In the stern lockers, add
ing whatever we could find that re-
NAMED eatable among the frozen
stores In the la%zarette. Altogether we
thus amassed a sufficient supply. We
rolled up all the extra blankets, SHOW
Ing them under the seats, and saw
that serviceable spars and oars were
safely slowed and dashed. II was
growing dusk before these matters
had all been attended to, and / finally
stepped out Of the boat. The men were
massed in a body on the deck, and the
moment saw them l understood they
a been discussing the situation. De
Nova spoke:

much in American money would be

81 don't know, of course, but Just for
a guess, perhaps 500, 0OO-maybe
more
An zare be only re ten of us. To
divide 1t up make, maybe, ten t'ousand
dollar for each. Was it not so?'
why, yes, or even more than that,
for l will cheerfully waive my share,
and can pledge that Lady Darlington
Will do the same. But what of it?"
Eat fine lot monies for sailor-man,"
he said, eagerly. AN wy not have
it? Anyhow, wy not try to save It?

gor? 1t eat noting, it drink noting,
an If it weight too much, zen we t'row

re hundred t'ousand dollar?"
There was no good reason why we
shouldn't; besides, the very POSSIBLE
!ty of preserving even that share of
the treasure would prove an inspir-
alton to the men. I looked about into
their anxious faces, feeling myself
some Measure of their excitement.
THAT will be all right, lads" / said
gladly. you've earned it fair enough,
and we'll start with it anyhow. Take
the stuff out of the chest and tie 1t up
In blankets. Then we can stow it away
evenly so as to keep the boat bal
anced. But" I added. as the memory
OF what Doris had said came to me,

"Oh, yes, no doubt they'll be there,

session of the Sixty-first congress died

day night, when the v~ice-president
and Speaker Cannon simultaneously
banged their gavels and announced
that dissolution had taken place.
The senate passed sedately away to
the accompaniment of tradition, Gus.
tom, precedent and dignity. while the
house, as always, expired with sing.
ing, laughter, quips, Jokes, and the
usual boisterousness. The two varie.
ties of demise become more accentu-
ated as the years roll around.
The closing scenes in the senate
were quiet and scattered. After meet
ing at 10 o'clock and drolling along
for two hours, Mr.. Hale sought to
ring In a recess, but the desire to
talk was SO great that he grew dis
gusted and gave 1t up. Later In the
and Mr.. Hale forced a reces until 8
o'clock in order that everybody might
e the horsehide fly. Five minutes
later Vice-President Sherman and q
party Of friends were whirling In an
auto toward the ball park. Racing
after them were Senators Crane,
Scott and other devotees Of the game.
When the senate reconvened set
speeches by Senators Simmons and
Stone whiled away the time. Before
the oratory began all the "unobject-"
ed" house bills were taken up and
passed.
Stone ls Asgrieved.
Senator Stone became much ag-
grieved when his bill to permit a
dam across the James river failed. He
waited to tack it on as an amendment
to the general dam bill, but was out
taking a drink of lemonade when It
went through. Returning a minute
later Mr.. Stone inquired of the chair,
what has become Of that dam bill?"
i THAT dam bill has passed." replied
Mr.. Sherman in loud tones.
Whereupon everybody laughed.
Senator Owen attempted to make a
few inspiring dissertations on his bill
to establish a bureau Of public health,
which has been opposed as e doc
tors trust" but Mr.. Hale was obdur-
ate and determined there should be
no more speech-making at this ses-
sion.
Shortly after 10 o'clock President
Taft came hustling up to the senate
and took possession Of the room set
