Willis Marsh squirmed uncomfort-
ably in his seat. He fixed his eyes upon
the knot of men at the starboard rail;
an expression Of extreme alertness
came over his bland features. Els feet
were drawn under him, and his fingers
were clinched upon the arms Of his
chair. Then, with sharp indrawing
of his breath, he leaped up and darted
down the deck.

about with frightened eyes. Behind
them, head and shoulders above the
sailors. lowered a giant copper-hued
breed with child in his arms.
They saw Marsh was speaking to
the newcomers, but could not distin-
guish his words. The Indian girl fell
back as if terrified. She cried out
something in her own tongue, shook
her head violently, and pointed to her

Without single warning cry, the
breed lunged swiftly; the others saw
something CLEAN in his hand. Emerson
jumped for him, and the three men
went to the deck in writhing tangle,
sending the furniture spinning before
them. Mildred screamed, the sailors
rushed forward, pushing her aside and
plotting out her view The sudden v1o-
lence of the assault had frightened
her nearly out Of her senses. She fed
to her father, striving to hide her face
against his breast, but something
drew her eyes back to the spot where
the men were clinched. She heard
Boyd Emerson cry to the sailors:

Then saw him locked in the Indians
arms. They had gained their feet now
and spun backward, bringing up
against the yachts cabin with a crash
of shivering glass. A knife, wrenched
from the breeds grasp, went whirllng
over the side into the sea. Cherry Ma
lotte ran forward, and at her vo:oe
the savage ceased his struggles.
Wayne Wayland loosed his daugn-
ter's hold and thrust his way IN among
the sailors, kneeling beside the man ne
had chosen for his son-in-law. Emerson

"Quick! Somebody fetch Doctor

AS the sailors drew apart, Mildred
Wayland saw a sight that made her
grow deathly faint and close her eyes.
Turning, she fed blindly into the
cabin, A few moments later Emerson
found her stretched unconscious at
the head of the main stairs, with
historical French maid sobbing over
her.

The first and only kiss he had ever
given her burned fresh upon her lips.
She recalled that evening they had
spent alone in this very room, when he
had seemed to waver and her hopes

aloud. as if her heart would break:

He entered noiselesly and took her
in his arms
Eyes. dear!" he murmured. But she
rose with startled exclamation, and
wrenched herself from his embrace.
The piano gave forth discordant
crash. Shrinking back as if from an
apparition. she stared into his flushed
and smiling face; then breathed:
you! Why are you-here!"
Because l love you"
She closed her eyes and swayed as

Girl Brinos q Brothers to U. S.

Miss Marie Tuter, d young Niennese
girl living in New York, arranged
for the passage of brother from the
old country, who will be the twenty
first brother she has brought to the
United States in six years.
She was the first of the family to
venture to America and. settling in
New York, soon obtained employment
and prospered. Her glowing accounts
of the promised land quickly intiuenc-
ed her brothers. who began to follow
her one by one.
Miss Tufer has acted throughout
as the American banker for the fam
lily. and as each brother made up his
mind to emigrate she would send the
money for his passage to the sister
who made all necessary arrangements.
The girl has the work thoroughly sys-
tematized When new brother arrives
he applies to the German Immigrant
society, and as result all of the
twenty brothers are now profitably
employed in and about New York. Only
the father, mother and one daughter
are left in the old home just outside

RESIGNS AS
PROVOST OF penn
C, c. Harrison TO Quit the
University.
FRIENDS NOT SURPRISED
Arduous Duties and Considerations OF
Health Assigned as Reasons-Con
sdered Resignine For Three Years

Provost Charles Custis Harrison
been the active head of the University
of Pennsylvania. at Philadelphia, and
who has served that institution OF
learning in an exceptionally able man
ner, submitted his formal resignation
from Office at meeting of the trus.
tees.
The resignation, which the provost
desires to take effect not later than
Dec. 81, 1910, was not accepted and
was referred for consideration to that
standing committee of trustees known
as the committee on the state of the
university.
Those trustees who attended the
tees and personal friends of the pro-
vost, were not unprepared for the
news that the university was face to
face with serious question In the
mail the trustees and the friends Of
the provost received letters from Mr..
Harrison acquainting them In advance
with the decision that had been reach
ed by him.
This decision to resign his arduous
duties had been debated in the mind
of the provost for some three years
past, and those close to him have
been conyersant with the reasons
which impelled him to offer his resig-
nation.
Considerations of health and family
and a desire to be relieved of the vast
amount OF detail work connected with
his position are said to be the rea'
sons for the step taken by the pro-
vost. This state of affairs is well
known among the trustees. and espe-
cially by those who are members of
the standing committee on the state of
the university, which committee will
make final disposition of the proffer.
ed resignation.
1t is believed that the trustees will
devise some way by which the pro-
vost's duties particularly those relat
ed to detail work, may be lightened,
with the end that Mr.. Harrison's gen
ius for organization and finance may
be saved to the university, which un-
der his leadership has made such gi-
gantic strides.
Coincident with the news of Pro-
vost Harrison's resignation came the
announcement that the resignation of
DR.. j. William White, John Rhea Bar
ton professor of surgery, had been ac-
cepted by the trustees at the same
meeting.

Gaynor to Get Bills,

According to DR.. w. j. Arlitz, OF
Hoboken, N. j., there is no foundation
for a report that the doctors who at
tended Mayor GaynoT, of New York,
after he was shot look to the city or
the mayor to pay bills amounting to
about $4,000
A physician who did not wish his
name used said that the services OF
the doctors would be estimated at that
amount He called attention to the fact
that the bills of the doctors who at
tended President Mckinley came to
5000. and were paid by the United
States government by special act Of
congress.
DIR. ArlitZ said that none OF the Gay
nor physicians expected the city to
pay the bills. They haf not sent bills
to anybody yet, he added. but when
they did send them in the bills would
be addressed to the mayor himself.
Not until the mayor was back in har-
ness, or until the bills were requested,
would they be sent. he said.
In reply to the suggestion that $34,-
900 might be considered excessive, it
was pointed out that Mayor Gaynor
was in the hospital about three weeks,
while President Mckinley was attend.
ed less than week.
