He strode past us, stony-faced, his
gaunt form outlined against the gray
sky without as he pushed back the
companion door. Lady Darlington
watched his disappearance with parted
lips and eyes filled with fear

Her fingers pressed tightly upon my
hand.
"But if he is really insane how much
more dangerous it makes our position!
Do you really think he is?"
"Only along that one line, Lady
Darlington" my voice growing firm
with conviction. Otherwise he seems
as sane as most men. We must humor
him to that extent. but regarding all
other matters there Is no occasion for
you to worry. The man is magnifi-
cent seaman, and handles the Sea
Queen with remarkable skill. He will

The fresh, stinging air soon served to

Tuttle on the bridge very closely. How
ever, the fellow had left his weird
fancies all below, and his sharp or

which he sailed the vessel, rapidly
brought back even my own evaporated
faith.
Lady Darlington did not appear
again after supper. although Celeste
sat in the main cabin and chatted vi
vaciously with De Nova while he ate

ed yesterday, his attorneys asked for
a conference in chambers, which was

Starbuck ranch of the bones believed
to be those of Enoch Kendall, his

So far as the Baptists are con-
cerned. everything Is quiet once more
In Italy and no further trouble is

This Is the message which Rev. 8.
J. Porter, one of the secretaries of
the foreign mission board of the
Southern Baptist convention, brings
home with him from trip abroad.
He arrived In Richmond Thursday
morning from New York, accompa-
MED by Rev. william Fl. Smith, an

Stuart, general missionary OF the
Baptist church in that city, who mar
rowiy escaped with his life some

Both secretaries visited the earth
quake district. accompanied by Rev.
Mr.. Stuart and found matters again
pursuing the even tenor of their way.
Speaking Uf the Italian situation
soon after his return home, Rev. Mr..
Porter said the trouble started last
winter in a small town In Sicily, when
the Baptist missionary in that coun-
try was subjected to much undue and
annoying persecution. The matter
reached the attention of the Italian
parliament. he said. with the result
that the Baptists in both Italy and
Sicily were assured Of full police
protection In the future. Remember
ing its promise, the government had
no other resource but to furnish pro-
lection TO the Baptists. he said, when
the trouble broke out In Southern
Italy.

''the Queen of Italy, impressed with
the work of the Baptist colony at
Reggie, wrote a letter to the mission

DR.. Porter said he Left Italy before
