He strobe 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.
"The fellow has gone crazy over his
spiritistic theories" l endeavored to
explain. do not permit such folly
to affect YOU"
"But-but, Mr.. Stephens, he means
it, he believes it. What is it he has
SEEM"
Some vision Of his insanity, no
doubt-nothing that need worry us
who are sane"
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
bring us out safely, and you must not
permit his prophecies of disaster to
influence your mind-they are only the
rawlings of q diseased brain"
do not know how much Of what
said she actually believed, yet as
talked on in apparent confidence her
expression gradually changed, and
finally had Celeste bring her wraps,
and l escorted her forth upon deck
The fresh, singing air soon served to
drive from her brain the last vestige
of terror, although at first she watched
futile on the bridge very closely. How
ever, the fellow had left his weird
fancies all below, and his sharp or
ders, coupled with the able manner in
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
They appeared SO deeply engrossed in
each other that l finally took my pipe

ears as l slid to the companion door
There was a taste of snow in the
wintry air-delicate, scattered, whirl
ing flakes that cut the exposed flesh
| like needles, while the wind whistled
through the frozen rigging In shrill
music. The decks were as gloomy and
dark as the surrounding sea was desc
late and gray, the endless vista of cir
cling water and sky merely merging
imperceptibly into the haze of dis
tance-everywhere the white-capped
waves frantically chasing each other
crest following crest, the deep hollows
| between as black as death.

went below, striving manfully to shake

straight up, staring through the black
ness toward the closed door. Almost
at the very instant heard the smash
of glass in the main cabin. I was only
partially undressed, and with one
spring was at the latch, the fierce
pitching of the yacht making me in
stantly apprehensive of accident. At
the first glance l perceived nothing
unusual under the dim light, then /
saw man sprawling on the floor in

broken mirror. l leaped across to-

ing him face upward to the light. 1t
was futile, and he shrank away from
me covering like a whipped cur, his
hands thrust out, his eyes staring. 1t
was an appalling face, CHASTITY, terror
stricken.
What is it, Mr.. futile ."
ooh, Christ! Christi" he shrieked
apparently never seeing me at all, his
teeth gnashing, foam on his lips. Il
saw 1t again-right over there! But
l killed that one! / killed that one!

oh, God! there's another! Another,

Straight toward me he came with
the fierce, unexpected leap of a wild
animal. Halfdazed | grappled him. II
was the contest of man against

cessity of saving myself stiffened me
to it, and l struck out hastily, landing
twice before we came to the grip. II
seemed to me he possessed the
strength of dozen men, yet l got my
fingers in his neckband, and We went
crashing down together on the deck
AS we struck he went suddenly limp
his fingers shaking, his eyes staring
up duly at the light. l held him thus
in my grip an instant, suspecting some
trick; then, as he never moved, l drew
him up until his shoulders rested
against the support of chair.

FOR CARNIVAL COMPANY.
MAKES VICIOUS ATTACK UP
ON FOREMAN OF CREW AND

JURY FOR ASSAULT WITH IN
TENT TO KILL.

lat night by Officer Whitlatch on the
charge of an assault with intent to
kill, was bound over this morning
by Municipal Judge Moores to the
grand Jury and his cae will come up
before that body for investigation at
the next session.
Fonseca is an Italian, and was en-
ployed as a roustabout of the Arnold
Carnival company, and came under
the jurisdiction of j. ]. Devauy.
Last night when Devaux was en-
gagged in loading the cars prepara-
tory to leaving Fonseca demanded
an immediate settlement Devaux,
it seems declined to settle fifth him
before settling with the other en-
ployees, and a controversy ensued.
Fonseca became enraged and seiz-
ing a club started in pursuit of. De-
vaux The crew came to Devaux' 5
assistance, and the result was a gen
eral fight between them and Fonse-
ca in which clubs and rocks were
used by the latter. officer Whit
latch finally was called to the scene,
and upon arresting Fonseca he took
from his person a large and ugly
knife, which it is alleged he had
threatened during the encounter to
use on the person of Devaux.
When his case came up this
morning the court room was filled
with attaches of the show and after
considering the evidence, Judge
Moores decided to bind him over to
the grand jury.

James Wood, one of the Arnold
Carnival Company, yesterday after
noon had his feet badly lacerated by
a broken bottle, and was taken to the
Willamette sanitarium for treatment.
Woods had been assisting in moving
the tents, and, upon the completion
of his labors, went down to the river
for a swim in the water. Just as he
stepped off the bank he alighted with
his bare feet on a broken bottle, and
both feet were badly cut. He was
taken to the baggage car by fellow
workmen and when DR.. J. N. Smith
was summoned he was almost dead
from the loss of blood. DR.. Smith
summoned R. E. Rockwell from the
bystanders to administer chloroform
to tn einjured man preparatory to
dressing his wounds. One of the cuts
necessitated the taking of nine
stitches.

MAY WITH HOLD
FIGHT PICTURES
FROM THEATRES

New York, July 1.-THE owners
of the motion pictures of the Jeffries-
Johnson fight today Officially struck
their language to suit public opinion.
The fight pictures will not be dis
played at public places of entertain
ment, at least not by the Vitagraph
Company of America.
1--WE have refused large offers from
New York roof gardens and vaude-
Vile houses" said j. s. Blackton,
vice-president of the company for
the privilege of displaying our reels,
but we have decided that the younger
generation should not be allowed TO
see the films. Therefore, the reels
will be available only to clubs and at
stag parties.
Although Blackton did not say so
it was intimated that the question of
policy entered into the decision. A
fight by the picture men would have
resulted in the passage Of laws max
ing the exhibition of fight pictures a
crime, it is generally believed. BY
gracefully withdrawing without oppo-
sidon to public clamor the motion
picture owners still have open the
private display film, which while not
nearly so remunerative as public ex-
hibition still provides a field safe
from interference.

PUGILISM IS A CLEAN, MANLY
SPORT, SAYS KANSAS CLERGYMAN

Sports in order to prey upon those
attending the fight. Gamblers, evil
women, pickpockets and thugs are
prominent at all fstic encounters, and
if they should be eliminated the
sport would be redeemed, and placed
upon a plane with other clean exhibi-
tions.
"Prize fighting sets up a useful
standard of physical excellence to the
youth of the country. 1t stimulates
in boys a desire to develop their
bodies, and I consider pugilism one
of the best sports-mentally, moral
ly and physically"
