bill upon the beer-soaked table, which
the waiter ran to seize with avidity.
AS fingered near, Crewe's sharp
eye was turned on me.
Come here, bo," he yelled. "Have
a drink. Gemmen, friend. My
friend-gemmen," he added in intro
duction; and. rather disgusted with
the part we were to play, l sat down
at an adjoining table, which was al
ready filed with Crewe's strange
guests.
None of them addressed me, how
ever, being all apparently bent upon
the possibility of extracting some
money from Crewe.
Then the uproarious crowd OF sail
ors turned into the alley and lined up
in front of the booth. / heard Egan's
voice ring out. apparently to smother
some protest.

objector. Let him be vaccinated if
he wants to be. Show 'em your chest,

ed off furtively through the crowds.
He made his way in the direction of
the American camp, where the sailors
of the English feet were being re-
galed at a clambake by their Ameri-
can comrades. The affair was practic-
ally over; as I approached the canvas
tent which had been set up perceived
a hilarious crowd, composed of the
crews of both nations, streaming out
arm in arm, laughing and chattering
together. Egan made his way toward
a large gathering of men which seem
ed to form the nucleus of the mob.
Suddenly the crowd opened and I
perceived Thompson struggling in the
arms of a dozen sturdy compatriots,
who. elated with the festive meal, in
sisted, apparently, in carrying him in
state down the main avenue OF Coney.
He regained his feet at last and stood
in their midst, flushed and a little un-
STEADY. / was astonished to see that
he had evidently been drinking, in
spite of his training. At the same
moment he perceived Egan.
Hello, Phil" he shouted, and shook
the man by the hand warmly; then
flung his arms around him. It was
evident that prudence was no part of

OF his interview with Crewe and my
self that morning, he had experienced
an entire revulsion Of feeling. Doubt
less Egan was now. to him, his best
friend, and we were maligners and
conspirators against his much-wronBed
relative. / wondered how much he
would tell Egan; whether he would
put him upon his guard.

sented to cooperate with him. The
sight OF the fire crackers has confirm

death will be foregone conclusion"
But could they not encompass his
death without such meeting?"
asked.
They could, undoubtedly. A fistic
encounter between Egan or some
hired bully and Thompson would have
the same result, 80 far as Thompson
is concerned. But there would be two
drawbacks to such plan. In the first
place, the survivor would probably be
arrested and have to stand his trial
for manslaughter. In the second place,
the encounter would not be without
danger to the life of the other party.
Whereas by making the Englishman
the innocent participant in the muir
der, all danger is removed SO far as
concerns the conspirators."

to explain his theories until the de-
nouement. "a revolved dozen ideas

injected some subtle poison which
would be set in action only In the

In his farewell of the gun man there
appeared to be glance of perfect un-
derstanding.

Crewe. 'It is not essential that we
know where he is going, but it is de-

'I think so too. Now fix that sign

1t was evening before we arrived,
and the shows we're in full swing.
Nov, Langton, we have to find our
Chinaman," said Crewe. 81 am afraid
that It is rather like searching for a
needle in the proverbial haystack.
Keep a sharp lookout for Chinese

We traversed Coney Island and its
purlieus for an hour and more with
out success. The booths, closely pack
ed together, almost defied examination.

We followed him for five minutes or
more; then he turned aside abruptly

The pair ssunrered slowly along the
avenue, despite the efforts Of a fiery
little man, apparently Thompson's

head him toward the elevated rail-
road. Thompson shook of the little
man as though he were a ny. while

GOVERNOR AYCOCK HAS ALSO
ENTERED THE RACE FOR THE
SENATE

The announcement of Judge Clark
that he was a candidate for the SEN
ate has caused Governor Aycock and
his friends to get busy. The Gov
ernor is out in letter addressed to
Col. N. B. Whitfield, of Kinston, N. C.
saying that he has decided to yield
to the pressure of friends to enter
the race for the Senate, in spite of
his former declaration that he would
not be candidate. He takes a dig
at Judge Clark's personal platform
in the following paragraph:
1t is unnecessary for me to
enunciate any personal platform,
1t being well known through
out the State that I have always
stood on the National and State
Democratic platforms without
question, believing, as I do, that
the assembled wisdom of the
democracy of the Nation and
State is far greater than NV
own"
Governor Aycock next turns his
attention to the most serious part
of the political situation in the race
for the Senate, and that is. the dan
ger Of the use of money by corpora-
lions and special influences to con-
troll the nomination. On this point
the Governor says:
Il shall make no campaign
looking to my election for the
senatorship. My financial con-
d1tlon is such that it is abso-
iutely essential that I pursue NV
profession as lawyer with un-
abated energy until such time
as the people shall lay other
duties upon me. I have no
money to spend perfecting an
organization, and if I had it r
am convinced that the greatest
evil of this day, politically. ia
the use of money in securing
nominations and elections. and

THE GREENSBORO NEWS AN
SEVERED WITH THE PROOF

The Greensboro Daily News, in a
recent lengthy editorial says:
"a late number of the Raleigh
Caucasian, We have been neg
Letting to say, was featured by
what We fear was designed as
an attack upon this paper. The
Caucasian, it may be said for
the benefit of a few hundred
thousand people unfamiliar
with the facts, is the North Car
DINA, or visible embodiment of
the Washington Bond Build
ing's star roomer.

an Independent journal only in
name, and imputes to us friend
ly feelings for Senator Simmons,
among other things. Another
count in the Indictment is that
We only claim to be running a
Republican paper "in private
letters to Republican subscrib-
ers."
L
casian said, to which the Green's
boro Daily News seems to take ex-
ception, was that the News, while
claiming to be an independent pa
per in public, and while appealing
to Republican subscribers to con-
tinue to take it as a Republican pa
per, was yet apparently run as a
joint organ for the remnants of the
old Republican referee machine and
Tor the Democratic ring element.
which seemed to be cooperating 70
nght and misrepresent Mr.. Morehead
and the Republican State organiza-
ton, and therefore to prevent Re-
publican growth and success.
We submit that that paper is con-
ssantly furnishing evidence in its
columns to substantiate the obserya-
ton made by The Caucasian.
Now. as to that part of what The
caucasian said about the News ap-
peal1ng to its Republican subscrib-
ers through private letters, since the
same does not appear upon the face
OF the paper, We will here submit the
proof. Republican subscribers of
tnat paper, who have been discon-
'inuing their subscriptions for self
efioent reasons, have been sending
70 us the letters which they have 70
ceived from the News appealing for
their continued support. One of these
letters is as follows:
