came me. Then, after an appreciate
interval, opened my eyes.
was lying in reclining posture
against the deck house. At my feet
lay the dead sailor, Smid, fearfully
mangled; the bodies of his compan.
ions lay near by, awash in the water
that flowed from side to side of the
deck at every motion of the fast sour
rying ship. At the wheel the captain
stood, but he made no attempt to
steer. There was a bloody handker-
chief round his head and one arm
hung help1essly at his side. And close
upon our heels came on the Lena,
now within hailing distance. I saw
her spin before the breeze; she gil
ded alongside, and a sailor sprang
nimbly from her deck to ours, carry
ing a rope with him, by means of
which we were made fast to her. A
moment later we were in the hands
of the enemy. I saw a mob, armed
with cutlasses, surround Olafsen; saw
him raise his sound arm and fire,
point-blank, into their faces; saw his
form totter beneath rain of blows
that beat him down until he lay life
less at their feet; saw his corpse
tossed into the sea. Then I must have
tainted again.
When opened my eyes I was in the
center Of a group, and a man wearing
a short, pointed beard was bending
over me. There was a tastesof BRAN
dy in my mouth. The first thing that
noticed was that he held the en-
velope containing my dispatches to
Rojestvenslsy. He had robbed me
while lay helpless.
Welcome, my dear Adams he
said with a mock bow t'You do not
remember me?"
Stapfhaus!" I muttered weakly.
He grinned. Sorry to have put you
to so much inconvenience, captain, =
he said; 'but it was necessary that
Admiral Rojestvensky should not OBJ
tain those papers. You see, war will
now break out between your country
and Russia"
1'You were always a thief, Stapf-
haus," 7 retorted. None but a thief
would steal papers from an uncon-
scious mans pockets. Let me see.
was it picking pockets or forgery that
you were dismissed the service for?"
His face grew dark
bah! You always were hypo-
critic, Adams" he retorted. Il don't
want your papers. only want to
prevent Rojestvensky from gettins-

ter. He tossed an oil skin package
into my hand.
Look inside that" he cried, wiring
ing my hand hard.
The explanation was a simple one.
Talbot, knowing that Stapfhaus had
outwitted me once before, had been
desperately anxious to accompany me
upon my mission. When l refused to
take him he secretly opened the en-
velope containing the official docu-
ment, removed the contents, and SUBJ
stituted a sheet of wrapping paper,
the same which Stapfhaus had stolen
and flung into the sea. Having the
real document in his possession, he
had disguised himself and followed
me. He had been one of the spies.
at least, whom 1 had noted as follow
Ing me; he had been aboard the train;
he had not been 20 yards away when
the Yankee Girl departed from Copen-
hagen, and, in despair of losing me,
had managed to obtain a post on
board the Lena, learning by accident
that Stapfhaus had engaged her. He
had actually been one of the crew that
stood round me after the capture: and
when the Lena cut me adrift off the
Banks, he had lowered one of her
boats in the darkness and pulled
around for an hour before he located
me.
Two hours later I stood upon the
deck of Rojestvensky's flagship and
delivered to him the dispatches from
the British government. / learned
that he had fired on the fishing ves-
sells thinking that they were, in fact,
British torpedo boats, and that war
had been declared. An excuse was
hastily invented and promptly accept
ed by the British government as sim
cere; and thus war which might
have shaken Europe to its foundations
was happily averted.

tention of intercepting Rojestvensky
at Copenhagen, and had therefore
abandoned his enterprise. On making
inquiries as to the chartering of a
vessel I was informed that a certain
Captain Olafsen, who had spent many
of his years as a fisherman off the
Maine coast, had a fine schooner, car
rying four men. I determined to in
spect it. I discovered that she was
admirably suited to my purpose, being
lightly built and evidently capable of
making high rate of speed. She also
carried, in addition to her crew, an
antiquated small muzzle-loader for
protection against pirates who often
plundered fishing schooners that be-
came separated from the fleet
Captain Olafsen was a fine speci-
men of his race; a man of some 60
years, with much natural dignity and
almost perfect English. 7 thought it
best not to declare my purpose, but
merely stated that I would pay him
a thousand pounds for his services,
and those of his crew, during the next

under my command. I calculated that,
by heading toward the Banks, we
could reach the anchorage of the Rus
sian squadron the second morning,
since in all probability, they would be
lying just outside the shoal water.
The captain looked at me quizzical-
ly. Then he burst forth into roar
of pure and nervous English.
'By God, I'm with you every time -
he shouted, slapping his thigh. when
it comes to England or America
against the Rooshians, I'm an Anglo
Saxon every time. Give me the thou
sand first, though" he added eau
tiously.
I handed him ten bank notes for a
hundred pounds apiece, which I had
carried with me for just such a need.
He pocketed them.
when do you want to start, sir?''
he asked.
I'm two hours replied.
Fright" he answered. ''The Yam
kee Girl will be ready, and so will her
crew. And the gun loaded up to the
muzzle," he added proudly, "ready to
defy the whole Rooshian navy. There
isn't fishing vessel on the wharves

her. he concluded, except the Lena
over there, and she's got three guns
and carries a crew of fifteen. But
she's used as the flagship of the fish
ing squadron, when she's in commits
sion"
We put out from port promptly to
the minute. A strong breeze was
blowing and we sailed gaily over the
dancing waters of the harbOr, which
were alive with all manner of craft.
AS we passed abreast of certain an
chorage the captain uttered an excla-
nation.
"By thunder, the Lena's put off for
the Banks" ne said. 81 thought Bjorn-
sen was going to lay her up for the
season."
By nightfall we were on the high
seas, well out of sight of land. I slept
but little, for the wind freshened and
we tossed in the trough of the comb
ers. The next day the sky was over
cast and the glass fell rapidly.
Through the vast rolling expanse of
waters we could discern few sailing
vessels passing us, scurrying toward
the land before the breaking of the
storm. We were well on our course
by now, and, storm or no storm, ex-
pected to reach our destination by the
following daybreak. About two in the
afternoon, as the captain surveyed the
horizon with his binoculars, he ut
tered an oath.
Thunder and spitfre!" he shouted.
eff there isn't the Lena!" And he in
dicated distant speck upon the wa
ters-yet not so very distant, since
the heaving pillows considerably
shortened the horizon.
'.And crowding on SAIL. he NUT
tered. what the devils she here
for? This isn't the shortest cut to the
Banks!"
Our query was soon answered.
From the peak of the Lena tiny flag
ffuttered. The captain nearly dropped
his binoculars. Then he turned to me
grimly.
Had you any-er-enemies that
wanted you particularly? he asked.
But he did not wait for a reply, for
he saw the answer in my face. A mo-
ment later the crew were at work
among the rigging. A jib topsail was
spread to the winds, and the accelera-
ton of our pace Immediately became
evident. We rolled heavily in the
trough of the seas, the white foam
scudding level with our deck. But be-

hind us the speck had grown into a
tiny ship, about as large, to my view,
as those toy boats that children sail
on ponds, perfect in all details. Mo-
mentarily it grew larger. The captain
broke into curses.
She'll get u.s. he yelled. mo hope
to make the fishing grounds unless
the wind aids us"
Suddenly, as watched, I saw tiny
puff Of smoke emerge from the Lena's
side and spread fanwise over her.
simultaneously something kicked up a
splash of water astern of us, and the
echoes Of the shot went undulating
along the waters.

conically. Not even a blank shot
first" He turned on me. Il don't
know who you are or why they want
you," he cried, 'fbut, by thunder, We'll
best them. Smid! Petersen! Get to the
gun. So! Let her have it now!"
The little Yankee Girl rocked with
the recoil. Looking toward the pur-
suing vessel I saw splash of water
apparently leap up and overwhelm
her. "a hit, by heavens!" | cried.
But a moment afterward I perceived
her sailing steadily onward as be-
fore. And she had decreased the in
terval to little more than a thousand
yards. An instant later I heard a
shell shrek through the air and
plunge into the sea beside us. After
ward, but so soon that it seemed to
synchronize, came the sound of the
discharge.
"Let her have it, boys" cried the
captain again The Yankee Girl
rocked again with the recoil, and then
heaven seemed to be alive with the
reverberations that followed. All
three of our pursuer's guns had gone
off together. A mountain of water ap-
peared to leap up at me. l saw the
horror-struck features Of the sailor
Petersen, staring into my own. Then
something heavy took me in the chest,
squeezing the breath out of me, and
went sliding seward through three
feet of turgid sea water across a slo-
ping, shuddering deck. Cries rang
in my ears. Sulphurous fumes were
sitting me; a deadly lethargy over

Perfect Birds Live LONGEST.

The more perfect a bird is racially.
that is, the further it has advanced
along the lines of evolution of the bird
group, the longer lived it will be.
That is the opinion of Director Mitch
ell of the London Geological gardens
Typical birds, therefore, must be the
raven, which has been known to live
50 years; the eagle owl, 60; the mute
swan, 70; the domestic goose, 80; the
gray parrot, 90; the sulphur crested
cockatoo, 81; the Amazon, 102; the
golden eagle, 104; the Egyptian vul-
ture, 49, Of course, these are NOT
the average ages of these species.

RICH EXILE GOES
TO PHILADELPHIA

NEW YORK, September 2O.-Fred-
erick l. Mandelhoff, a wealthy whole
sale merchant, who fed from Finland,
on learning he was marked for exile to
Siberia, arrived here today on the
White Star liner Oceanic. He brought
with him his wife and two daughters,
IL and IA years old, and they will
leave here tomorrow to join friends in
Philadelphia.
Mandelhoff, who has repeatedly in
speeches attacked Russian tyranny,
learned secretly five years ago that he
was on the Russian Governments ex-
lie list. He was not exiled, however,
because Russia was at that time seeth-
ing with rebellion and the bureaucracy
feared further to anger the Firms
A few months ago, however, Mandel-
off again learned that the Russian
Government intended to exile him
without trial and seize his properties
in Ekinas, valued at 100000, so he
made his plans to leave for Philadel-
phia with his family.

THE IRON WILL NOT
ALWAYS POTENTIAL

he was the ablest among them, that by
following him they did best for them
selves. A political boss does the very
same; there is no iron will involved
merely he shows his followers that
they all gain by going with him.
And the same rule holds true in
the case of band conductors. A mil
itary conductor can get his way be-
cause the men under him are furnished
unless they obey him; an opera or
concert conductor may get his way
because he can throw out of employ
ment the men who do not obey him.
But the true born conductor either
military or civil, gets his way and fine
results when his bandsmen know that
by paying close attention to him and
putting their backs into their work
they help to secure performances OF
which they may all justly feel proud.
When Nikisch first came here many
years ago we were told how on the
continent he was wont to magnetic
his men and make them insensibly
Weld to his will. 1t is likely enough
they did yield; they would have been
dismissed if they had not. But the
magnetism did not in the least WORK
in England. The men simply paid no
attention to it, There might as wei
have been no magnetism at all. Twas
in vain Nikisch essayed to fix them
with the glittering eye of which we
had read so much-too much. The in
human rascals refused to be fixed; the
performances were poor and some one
must have lost a fair sum of money
over the concerts.
See what happened when Nikiscn
returned, not as master, but as servant
of the orchestra. The symphony or
chestra engaged him. The glittering
eye nonsense and the iron will non-
sense were dropped, and at once ar
tistic results were got. One might dis
approve of many things he did, and
especially of his effected readings, but
he gained the effects he wanted AMI
gained them in a legitimate manner,
through the faith the men had in him.

GABY' A SHOCK
TO PITTSBURG

PITTSBURG, Pa, September 20
Pittsburg club women have resisted a
protest against any appearance of
Gaby Deslys. The women anticipate
that sooner or later Manuers former
friend will decide to make a tour OF

women, said today:
1T would be a sin and a shame and
an insult to the intelligence of theatre
goers in any community to have that

Chronic rheumatism often attacks

of any kind would be worse than use

PICTURES MISSING
FROM THE LOUVRE

PARIS, September 20.-Following
upon other disappearance of works of
art which have been made public since
the theft of Da Vincis Mona Lisa, -
a sensational revelation was made to-
day by the Paris Journal which an
nounces that no less than thirty-two
pictures of great values which should
be in the Louvre and which formed
the greater part of single collection
are no longer to be found.
The missing works include the cele-
brated Fragonard, entitled 1.-TWO Chill
dren Lying Behind a Curtain" the
Portrait of Queen Elizabeth by the
Dutch painter, Miereveld; the "Por-
trait of Queen Henrietta Maria by
Lely, and an interior, by the English
FAINTER, Roberts. The collection of
forty-two pictures belonged to one
Sauvageot, a rich amateur, who lived
in the first half of the last century,
and presented it to the French nation
in 1856.
Sauvageot's collection during his life
was also famous for it's sculpture,
arms and musical instruments. His
greatest curiosity was the entry of
Head of Christ, the Image Not Hav-
ing Been Painted by Art But Impress
ed by Miricle."

Making the Stuffing.
A good, plain stufing may thus be
mixed: Crate up a small loaf of bread
and rub into it piece Of butter the
size of an egg. Add pepper and salt
to taste and some powdered sage. Rub
all together and fill the turkeys breast
with it. Sew up the breast so that the
stuffing will not cook out. Put the
fowl into the dripping pan. Place the
giblets under the side of the turkey
and rub salt and pepper on the out
side.
Put a teacupful of water into the
pan and place it in the oven, bast-
ing frequently. The more the turkey
is basted the nicer and juicier it will
be. The fowl will not be done until
it is brown all over Three hours Is

Of this size. After taking the turkey
out of the oven put tablespoonful Of
flour into the gravy and stir until

saved after the turkey is filed. Put
the giblets into the gravy boat and
pour the gravy over them.
