CHAPTER v.
In Which We Gain the Deck.

some of the details of our nights

without great risk of discovery, bar
ring some unexpected mishap. The
very audacity of such an attempt was
strongly in our favor. If we succeeded
in silently warping the Esmeralda be-
yond range of the guns of the shore
batteries all real and immediate dan
ger would be over. Probably not a
war vessel in the harbor had steam
up, and, if they did, no Chilean war
ship could hope to overhaul us when

Besides, Jack ashore and Jack at sea
are two widely differing personalities
once sobered and on shipboard,
steadied somewhat by the perils OF
their position, and exhilarated by the
promised reward, they would doubtless
prove efficient enough. futile might

Lily ability to administer it promptly

a good man. So, altogether, my spirits
rose as l thus contemplated definite
plan of action.
The movement on the water was
only the merest ripple, with the riding
| lights of the various ships at anchor
| reflected back as from a giant mir
ror. Two vessels, full-rigged ship
| and a small schooner, lay close in
shore, apparently deserted, their decks

Uttered with sea craft of every de

that she was large steam-yacht

Finally, into the focus of the leveled
glasses there crept indistinctly the
delicate tracery of her bow, rendered
more plainly visible beneath the green
radiance of her riding lamp. Lights
were showing family through several
portfolios amidships, certain proof that
she was not entirely deserted; yet
the cabins aft were dark, and the only
moving figure could distinguish with
certainty was slowly pacing back and

Suddenly, out from the enveloping
smudge, came shower Of sparks
and red glare, and, a moment later,
l traced the outlines of a steam launch
cleaving the black water. 1t quickly
vanished behind the fog wreaths hang

churning dying away, leaving the ST.

impressive than ever. Only from off
the land came echoing the noises of
men-the loud vivas, the reiterated
boom of explosives, the ceaseless
blare of bands.
The scene became oppressive in its
barrenness, and / felt the need of
movement to overcome it's weakening
effect upon the nerves. This was to
be night of action, not of dreams, so

beside the spot appointed for our rem

space here, the Mercantile Company's
sheds standing some 80 feet back of

to decipher the face of my watch, yet
it could not now be long before the
arrival of the men. / crouched down
beside a post to await their coming,
once again searching the harbor with
my night-glasses.
The company at last arrived by twos
from out the enveloping gloom, silent
ly grouping themselves amid the shad-
ows. l could distinguish an occasional
gruff cough, and the shutting of feet,
but there was no sound of conversa-
ton or hilarity. Evidently De Nova
had sufficiently sobered them to their
duty. At last one man detached
himself from among the crowd
and moved stealthily forward. met

response, "but mighty uneasy to be

They shall not be delayed. Get the
boats out at once. You are to take
charge of the whaleboat and / will
accompany De Nova in the cutter. Pull
silently to the end of the wharf and

are assigned to-"
"Ay, ay, SIR"
Very well, then; get the boats cut,

The garage of the Cairo Motor
Car Co. in the Glynn building on
Commercial avenue was entered the
past two nights by an unknown party
and each of the three fine sample
Studebaker cars received attention.
The rear lamps on two of the cars
were broken, deep cut on the lazy
back of another car was slashea by
knife, and one of the motors was
placed out Of condition. Mr. Mortin,
the manager, thinks the person who
did such dastardly piece Of work

proves this conclusively to his mind.

Another special meeting was held
last night by the city council, for

and Aldermen Greaney, Wagner. Can
non, Kelly, German. Ferguson. Nc
Daniel, Williams, Burke. Davis, Soul
lin and Meehan were present
The mayor stated the purpose of
the meeting and brought up first the
proposition to vote money toward the
expense incurred by the Mississippi
River Improvement Association, sug-
costing $500 as the sum which in his
opinion should be appropriated. al
though $3.50 had been asked for.
President Smith of the Commercial
Club. spoke strongly in favor of the.
appropriation, as did C. S. Carey, who
had been delegated by President An
trim to speak for the Cairo Board of
Trade. Both these gentlemen urged,
that the city could we'll afford to ap-'
propriate the sum asked for in view
of the benefits it would derive from
the expenditure of part of the
$750,00O about to be appropriated by
congress for river work between
Cairo and st. Louis. The benefit
would be for the whole city and it
was proper that the cost should be
borne by all the people.
Alderman Scullin moved that $500
be appropriated.
Alderman Burke moved to amend
that it be made $3.50, the sum asked
for by the association, which he be-
lieved was little enough.
Alderman Scullin accepted the
amendment, and the motion was
adopted
Bids were then opened and read By
the clerk for 1000 feet of fire hose,
also combination hose and chemical
wagon. smaller chemical extingnsh-
ers. also a hook-and-ladder truck, and
for harness, nozzles, etc. There were
twenty-five bids from dozen differ
ent manufacturers and agents. The
prices on hose ranged from 20 cents
to S1.10 foot; on no:e wagon from
$1,000 to $1,000; on harness from $50
to sos; on hook-and-ladder truck
$1,000.
The bids were referred to the Pc,
lice, Jail and Fire committee on mo-
tion of Alderman Magner

bids and the labor necessary to get
them properly tabuiated for ready
consideration, the mayor named al

SHE RECOGNIZED The VOICE

Confidential friends of Louis B.
Shields are telling this story about
that eminent Republican: A state
convention at Columbus had just ad-
journed and the C%uyahoga county
delegates were all back home when
somebody suggested a friendly game
of poker. The game was going along
right merrily at three a.. M.
At that hour an oflcious attendant
called up Mr.. Shields residence, which
happened to be almost next door.
This is long distance" said the
servant with no Warrant of authority
whatever. 1--WE are all here in Co.
lumbus and can't get home until morn
ing"
That's all right" came back the
reply, "but if that voice I hear in the
apartment house next door saying
that's good isn't Mr.. Shields then I
can't recognize a voice when I hear it
at night"
: And that is the end of the story, for
the voice saying that's good" was
indeed that of Mr.. Shields, and it was
so near home, so the narrator relates,
that there was no Use in offering a
