tasted sparingly from her scanty store
and resumed her post at the heel
She was tired and sleepy, but while
the little engine was alive she could
not leave it to its own devices. She
must hold on her chosen course as
long as the motive power remained.
She could not lose a moment while
that motor throbbed and beat. She
must be alive with it. There would
be time to sleep when it was ex-
hausted. She must put as many
leagues between her and pursuit by
holding the direct course as long as
was possible.
And so she sat there grimly, hands
clutching the wheel through the long
day and through the longer night and
we'll into the following morning. It
must have been half past ten on the
morning Of the second day before the
motor stopped. The silence, after the
ceaseless drumming Of a night, a long
day, q longer night and a still longer
morning, struck her with the same
strange sense of shock. She calculated
that the motor had beer running for
SO hours and that she had gone $50
miles at least on her course. She had
seen nothing whatever Of the yacht.
The chances that it would pick her
up, even if it came about and cruised
for her, a lonely speck in the a
were millions to nothing. At any rate,
she had lone all she could. Her phil
osophy for once stood her in good
stead. There was nothing more to be
done. She was dead for want OF
sleep. The sky had been slightly over
cast since she had left the yacht, but
there had been no storm and weather

seemed to be permanent.

the gasoline tanks and finding that IN
deed they had been drained of the last
drop, she carefully closed and locked
them, thereby assuring her salvation.
and spreading the boat cloak in the
stern sheets with her bag for a pillow
and her straw hat tied over her face
to shield it from the sun, she instantly
dropped to sleep.

CHAPTER VI-Continued.

She began to realize how helpless
she was. Under the inspiration of a
belief, which was as honest as it vas
mistaken, she had put herself in the
power of this Even if she we're
ashore, there would be no one to
whom she could appeal, and here on
the ship she was helpless. Lingering
remains of better things had kept him
from the last resort of the tyrant-
force!-but how long these would be
operative in restraint she could not
tell. She fancied not for long. What
should h do then?
She saw the end coming when in his
anger he resorted to drink, to drink
which exploded the last vestige of his
philosophy, however he had professed
it. She was frightened beyond meas
ure when she realized the depths to
which he had sunk and to which, in
spite of herself, he had dragged her.
What further descent was before her?
She did not even yet abandon that
philosophy which had served her SO
i'll. She clung to hat with the more
tenacious pride because Of its very
weakness, but she loathed mankind
On that yacht he summed up for her
the whole human race, and she hated
hin and it. To what sorry pass had a
few weeks practical experience re-
duced herl
She had begged and pleaded with
hin to alter the yachts course. but
he had sworn he would go farther
south into those unknown seas and
keep her there until she crawled to
his feet. So the long hours dragged
on. The inevitable rupture drew
nearer. At last it came. In it's details
1t was horrible, but there was In it
q great relief after all.

CHAPTER VII.
The JOY of Freedom.

One night at dinner she had fed
from him. He had been drinking more
heavily than usual and was in an ugly
mood. His handsome face was flushed,
a savage frown overspread his brow.
He had risen during the meal and with
a coarse endearment had attempted
to lay hands upon her-at last! She
had broken away and darted into the
nearest cabin, which happened to be
his own. She had closed the door and
turned the key against him before he
realized what she was about. She
stood within the little room, painting,
enraged, fearful, yet ready to defend
her all and almost glad the crisis had
arrived. She could hear his drunken
laugh outside the door.
Why, o little fool" he cried, do
you think | can't break that lock down
In a moment? The ships mine, every
man on it's mine. l pay 'em. They
do my bidding. I have you where I
want you and I can have you when I
please now-or later"
Was 1t true? Could she appeal to the
men? But what could she say? AL
though the world knew there was no
binding tie between them, to the Off
GERS and men of the yacht she was his
wife. They would not interfere. And
If she declared the truth, she would
put herself beyond the pale of their
sympathies. Being merely stupid men,
with conventional ideas about pro-
priety, in that event they would be
less apt to interfere than ever. 1t was
true she could do nothing. She sank
down on q hassock, clenching her
hands.
As she sat, her eyes fell on a chest
Of drawers screwed against the bulk
head. The top contained various toilet
articles of silver. Among them was a
picture, the picture Of a woman. 1t
was not her picture. Moved by what
impulse she did not stop to analyze,
Ahe rose and picked It up. The face
she looked at was ineffably vulgar and
common. Across the bottom was writ
teA in a scrawly uniformed hand, Your
devoted wife" There was a date sew
eral years before that hour. Your de-
voted wife! She had beer in that
stateroom before; she had never see
that picture. He had only brought it
out since the rupture between them.
And so while entering into this re-
~lAtionship with her. in compliance
with principles n ideas which she
at least regarded as sacred and holy,
he had not been a free man.! There
was another woman to whom he had
been bound. Oh, not by the marriage
tie that she disdained, but by the
honor which was supposed to exist
among thieves and which certainly
~hould exist amOnR DhilosoDherS And
such a woman! A cold fury filled ner
mind as she looked at the picture.

bag with what things she 1ancied she
would need, returned to the table,
took from it every scrap that was
edible and portable; without much re-
gard for the niceties she made it up
in a heavy parcel which she tied with
napkins. She remembered that the
water tank in the launch had been
filled, so that for a time at least she
would lack nothing. Carrying bag and
bundle in her hands and with the boat
cloak over her arm and a straw hat
tied on her head, after one long look
at the man, h turned and went aft
and re-entered the starboard after
stateroom, her own.
The boats painter had been affixed
to the starboard side of the yacht. She
opened the stern window and looked
out. She leaned far out and by great
good fortune in the darkness caught
| the painter. The BOAT of course, was
swinging to a long rope. She pulled
at this line cautiously, although the
effort taxed her strength to the ut
| most. Indeed, she seemed possessed
of a fictitious strength for the time
being else she never could have &C.
complished her hard task. But she
managed to get the boat practically
under the cabin at last. She fastened
the painter to her bed, which was of
brass and securely screwed to the
floor. Then she cut off the line and
, tied the bundle of provisions and her
bag and cloak to the end Of it. These
she dropped down into the boat.
| Among the petty articles was a sharp
| sailors sheath knife fastened to a Ian
yard. She slipped this lanyard into her
blouse. Then she climbed up on the
port sill and essayed the dangerous
descent herself. She was glad that
she was a strong, athletic woman,
used to trusting to her own skill and
powers, for it was no easy task to
slide down that rope and get into a
boat trailing along beneath the coun.
ter of a yacht going perhaps II knots
an hour Fortunately the engine was
well aft and the bow of the launch
was high out OF the water; else her
weight would have pressed it down
and the back wash from the yacht
would perhaps have swamped the
launch.
At any rate, she succeeded, although
after she got her foot in the bows she
slipped and fell. But that she fell
straight aft upon the cloak and bun
dies she would have hurt herself Sc
verely. If she had not fallen that way
if she had pitched to the right or the
left she would have gone overheard
, and that would have been the end
for she knew that she would have died
rather than appeal to that ship fol

CHAPTER VIII.
Cast Up by tho Sea.

Day was just breaking again when
the woman awoke. Reference to her
watch which she had taken the pre-
caution to wind just before she re-
tired disclosed the fact that It was
four o'clock in the morning. She had
slept unbrOkenly since II o'clock the
morning before. Her sleep had been a
stupor OF utter and complete exhaus-
ton. Added to the tremendous physh
cal strain of keeping awake and ar
tending to the duty to which h had
enforced herself had been the further
strain of the terrible events on the
night in which she left the yacht, and
the apprehension of pursuit which had
been continually with her. Her first
motion, indeed, was to rise to her feet
and scan the horizon. With relief in-
describable her scrutiny discovered
nothing. She was still alone. Neither
the yacht nor any other vessel nor
any smallest speck Of land was sill
houetted against the circling sky line
She sat in the boat musing a long
time and then woke to the fact that
she was hungry. Again h satisfied
her appetite sparingly from her scanty
and rapidly diminishing store of food
n drink, and then putting the past
resOlutely behind her, hoping n per-
haps fancying by some exercise of her
will power finally she could put it be-
hand her forever, she gave serious
thought to her condition.
She realized at last that she In
the hands-another would have said

learning and all her training, and
all her skill n all her power were
of no avail, made the situation the
more CALLING. Was there nothing
that she could do? She reflected
deeply and as she did so the
breeze sprang up. She judged that
the period during which she had slept
had been calm and still. Any violent
rocking of the BOAT would have awak-
ened her. Indeed, she felt bitterly
cramped and stiff from having lain so
long on the hard floor, which only the
BOAT cloak, thick and heavy, made a
tolerable bed.
The coming of the breeze stimus
lated her imagination. 1t was a gen
tie breeze. She noticed that it blew
from the direction whence she had
come by her compass course. II she
only had a sail of some kind the boat
would be driven along. She must
move somewhere. She had heard OK
ocean currents and drift but she
doubted whether the boat was moving.

STRIKERS READY
FOR ARBITRATION
Claim Head of U. S. Express Co.
Unwilling to Submit Set
tIement to Board

NEW YORK, Nov. 2.-Only the word
of Frank H. Platt head of the United
States Express company, Is needed to
bring about arbitration of the express
strike, according to assertions made
by strike leaders tonight.
Through a series of conferences to-
night at the office of Mayor Gaynor,
the consent of strikers to- submit to
arbitration was secured. 1t is said Mr..
Platt is unwilling to intrust a settle
ment to a board of arbitration. NO
settlement was in sight when the con-
ference adjourned this evening, but
Mayor Wittpenn Of Jersey City; VINO
attended the meetings, said:
at looks bright for a settlement"
AS proposed by the Cancellation COM
mittee of the National Civic Fedora
ton the arbitration board, If named,
will consist of two men selected by the
companies, two by the strikers and
two chosen by these arbitrators, with
Mayor Gaynor as chairman.
On behalf of the compaiies, state
ment was issued tonight, saying a gen.
eral conference of executive heads or
the compaies had been held today to
consider the situation, and would be
resumed tomorrow.
During the day the ranks of the
strikers were strengthened by the ad-
dition of drivers from several more de-
partment stores. Aid to the strikers
was rendered by the Longshoremen's
union, which notified the various ex-
press companies that the longshoremen
would not handle packages brought TO
the piers by strikebreakers.
More wagons were moved under
police guard than on any previous day.

RIOTERS
/. FACE GUN CHARGE
Policeman Stabbed, and Is Gar
ment Workers Injured in
Fierce Outbreak

CHICAGO, Nov. 2.-Grim specters Of
the days of the Haymarket riot haunt
ed Chicago'S streets for brief time
this afternoon when Inspector S.. K.
Healy and a squad of seventy police
men, with drawn reVolverS, charged
several thousand striking garment
workers who were rioting on the east
side.
One policeman was stabbed, fifteen
rioters were seriously injured, and
twenty strikers and sympathizers were
arrested during the fight which threat
ened to get beyond police control.
This, the most serious outbreak since
the inception of the strike, occurred at
the plant Of A. Lott & Co. Before the
police arrived the strikers had broken
all the windows in the large building
occupied by the clothing makers, had
driven strike breakers out, and had
carried a large number of sewing ma
chimes into the streets, where they
were destroyed.
The strikers and followers put up a
desperate fight. Many Of them were
knocked down by the clubbed revolv
ers of the police, and not few were
trampled upon. Some of the employees
of the company joined the strikers and
are said to have assisted in putting
machines off the floors.
Men and women were hurting stones
and bricks through the windows of the
plant when Inspector Healy and his
squad of reserves arrived. The inspec-
tor experienced difficulty in getting to-
gether the disorganized force of po-
licemen which had borne the brunt OF
the early fighting. When he had done
so, however, the policemen charged
through the center of the mob, knock
ing down all in their way.
MANY of the rioters fled when they
saw the police draw their revolvers
Those who remained firm hurled clubs
and stones at the approaching officers
A number of women were arrested, but
many were released after being taken
to police stations.
AS a result of today's developments
instructions were issued to inspectors
and captains in the various districts
where riots have occurred.
The attitude of the police indicates
that much more serious trouble is an
ticipated within the next twenty-four
hours. All preparations are being
made for hastily calling in reserves
from outlying stations and mobilizing
a large force in the downtown district
Strikers tonight held dozen largely
attended meetings on the west and
north sides and also downtown. The
feeling at these meetings was intense
and agitators urged the strikers to
further disorder. Meanwhile various
cIubwomen who have interested them
selves in the cause of the girl garment
workers were urging their followers to
refrain from any action which might
injure their cause.

PARIS, Nov. 2.-The cabinet of
Premier BRAND, which succeeded the
Clemenceau ministry June %, 1909, re-
signed Unexpectedly today in conse-
quence of the bitter attacks made In
the chamber of deputies on the gov
ernment's action in suppressing the
recent strike and its proposed leg1sla-
ton for the avoidance of similar crises.
A strong Republican majority in the
chamber voted confidence in the gov
ernment, but at a meeting OF the MIN
listers dissensions developed and Brl-
and announced that new ana serious
problems had grown out of the labor
trouble that must be met by united
ministry. Accordingly he suggested
the retirement Of himself and asso-
ciates.
President Fallieres asked M. BRAND
TO form q new cabinet and the latter
accepted. 1t is expected that he Will
remodel the retiring ministry in mar
mony with his views on a preliminary
program to meet crises resulting from
strikes. 1t is likely that Foreign Min
lister Pichon, Minister Of Commerce
Dupuy, Minister of War Brun and
Minister Of the Navy Lapayrere VIII
remain in the new cabinet.
TWO MEMBERS DISSENT
M. Millerand, minister of public
works, posts and telegraphs, and M.
Viyiani. minister of labor, dissented
from Brands program and their re-
tirement is likely to be permanent.
Nillerand especially was dissatisfied,
insisting that the principle of arbitra-
ton should be recognized more broad
lv by the government.
Just what Brands program or fu-
ture legislation provided had not been
made known to the public when the
resignation of the cabinet was an
nounced.
At the meeting at which BRAND
suggested the resignation he. thanked
his comrades for having stood together
in the national crisis and shouldered
unitedly the harsh attack in the cham
ber. He said he had been violently
accused and even charged with nour-
ishing an ambition to throttle public
liberty.
1t was true that those attacks had
been repudiated by a strong Republic
can majority which voted confidence
in the government, but, nevertheless,
out of the railroad strike and out of
the debate in the chamber, whose
character was so exceedingly grave,
new and serious problems had arisen
which must be met by united min
istry. For this reason the premier
suggested the retirement of the cab
met.

BROWNE LAWYER
HELD As BR|BER
Juror and Alleged Go-BetWeen
Tell of Money Paid to
Vote for AcquittaI

CHICAGO, Nov. 2.-Charles e. Erb-
stein, counsel for Lee O'Niell Browne,
who was recently acquitted on a charge
of bribing a state representative to
vote for William Lorimer for United
States senator, was indicted today,
charged with corrupting a member of
the Jury that cleared Browne.
The Juror in question, Grant Nc
Cutchen, and Henry It. Stacy, alleged
go-between, told States Attorney Way
man they had received $3.50, which they
divided equally between themselves,
for McCutcheon's vote on the ver-
dict.
The first trial of Browne resulted
in a disagreement; the second, in which
the alleged bribery is said to have
figured, brought verdict of not gull
ty. Among the witgesses for the state
were three state representatives, who
confessed on the stand to being paid
$1,000 each for their votes for Lori
mer. Immediately after the case went
against him Mr.. Wayman began an in
vestigation of numerous rumors con-
cerning attempts at tampering with
veniremen.
A week ago he secured clew which
led to McCutchen. The latter and Sta
cy, it is said, disgruntled at the small
amount of money which they say they
received, resolved to tell.
ANGERED BY SMALL SUM
After the trial McCutchen and Stacy
went to Erbsteins office, they declare.
They thought there would be at least
$4,000 in cash and easy jobs in it, ac-
cording to Stacy, and they could
scarcely believe their eyes when the
lawyer gave them only 500. Later,
they state, he gave them $3.50 more.
McCutchen demurred to taking the
story to the states attorney, but Sta
CIV said he would go alone. McCutchen
then agreed to act with him.
The grand jury began hearing wit
nesses nearly a week ago. One piece
of testimony was that ten of the jurors,
shortly after the verdict was delivered,
were wined and dined sumptuously.
Judge Bruggemeyer, in holding the
defendants to the grand jury, declared
the evidence had been sufficient to
prove a conspiracy
'rrhis case should, in the opinion
of this court, be deemed deserving of
an Immediate Judgment" he declared.
"But as the ultimate finding would be
adverse to the defendants and as they
would be transferred to another trib-
unal, the court finds it difficult to
make a statement.
1.-THE court believes that the offense
charged exists; that it has existed
since it was committed and it is the
belief of the court that these three de-
PENDANTS were parties to this offense. -

COUPLE ESCAPE UNINJURED'
FROM RUNAWAY AUTOMOBILE
Leap from Rapidly Moving Ma
chine When Gear Breaks

Two persons-a man and woman
probably escaped serious injury last
night by leaping from a rapidly NOV
ing auto when the steering gear broke
and the machine plunged down a bank
at Avenue 95 and Pasadena avenue.
The autoists were slightly bruised
They abandoned the car, which bore
the license number "6029 CAL" and
were picked up by persons in another
auto and taken away.
The police were unable to learn the
identity of the occupants of the
wrecked auto, as they had gone before
an officer sent to investigate the mat
ter had reached the scene.
The car is registered in the name OF
G. L. Chapman, 1886 Woodlawn avenue
He stated last night that he sold the
auto four months ago to H. Fl. Powell
of Long Beach, and that the latter In
turn placed it with Fred Cornell, an
automobile broker, a week ago, and
instructed the latter to sell the ma
