PICKED UP MAN
SUNDAY NIGHT
STEAMER TARPoN RETURNS
FROM MOBILE AND REPORTS
FINDING MAN IN BAY AS SHE
WAS GOING FROM HERE.

The steamer Tarpon returned yes
terday morning from Mobile, and Cap
tain Barrow reported that while going
out of this harbor Sunday night about
9 o'clock he picked up Armand Olsen,
a white man, in an almost exhausted
condition.
The steamer was proceeding down
the bay and was nearly off Perdido
wharf when the cries of the man were
heard. The vessel was stopped and
the man found clinging to an upturned
boat. He had been in the water since
late in the afternoon and his strength
had practically been exhausted.
The man was taken to Periido
wharf and landed safety. He says he
owes his life to Captain Barrow, who
heard his cry for help.

THE PETREL IN
PORT AHEAD OF
THE BIG SHIPS
TENDER TO THE BATTLESHIPS
FLORIDA AND UTAH ARRIVES
IN PORT AND DROPS ANCHOR
IN THE BAY.

The gunboat Petrol, tender to the
battleships Florida and Utah, arrived
yesterday morning from Guantanamo,
via Key West, coming in advance of
the big ships, which will be at anchor
in the harbor Saturday.
1t was stated that the Petrol had
left the Florida in the gulf and that
the latter is awaiting the arrival of
the Utah before coming closer in, so
it is possible that the big ships will
come into port Friday, instead of wait
ing until Saturday.

"The Country Bow"


"The Country Boy" Edgar Selwyn's
great comedy hit, is one succession of
bright lines and laughs, intermingled
with pretty love story, some most in
teresting and amusing bits of realism
connected with New York city life and
some extra fine character sketches of
different types of habitues Of The
Great White Way" In the second act
there are at least twelve different
types displayed in the great dining
room scene of the boarding house
where the country boy locates in the
city. This boarding house is said to
be a reproduction of a famous West
Fifty first street maison where Edgar
Selwyn and his wife, Margaret Mayo,
used to board before the Goddess of
Fame and Fortune knocked at their
door and where many noted theatrical
lights were accommodated at the time.
The landlady with her vast pretentions
and her extreme anxiety about board
ers who don't pay 'reg'lar" using up
all the gas, is a veritable scream The
play comes Tuesday. Dec. 10.

ADJUSTMENTS.
HTha RoSsrv"

Those who complain about the deca-
dence of the drama can offer no sound
criticism of The Rosary" which was
the sensation of the popular priced
houses last season. It is not a religious
drama of the heavy sort, lacking in
entertaining qualities. On the con-
trary, it is q delightful story of every
day life, in which the plot hinges upon
the misery which creeps into a house
hold through circumstances which
lead to suspicion and jealousy, and of
part which a priest, Rev. Brian Kelly,
plays in bringing about a correct I'M
Outstanding. A rosary of pearls fig
ures in the unfolding of the plot, and
in it's final happy denouement.
The play is handsomely staged by
the producers, Rowland and Clifford,
and is enacted by powerful acting
cast. "The Rosary" is a play which
every lover of clean and entertaining
stage productions should see. Six
companies, all equally formed as to
strength of cast, are touring the coun-
try again this season, repeating the
tremendous hit that this play made
everywhere last year. It will be seen
at the opera house tonight.

A LARGE SOFT
SHELL TURTLE

A soft shell turtle, weighing twenty
two and a half pounds, was brought to
the city yesterday afternoon by John
Langdon from Choctawhatchee bay
and was placed on display in a show
window at Nick Apostles restaurant.
The turtle was found in the seine
Langdon was using and the mans
hands were badly torn in taking the
turtle from the net.

 ~ ERSONIN walked away, fight ing desperately with his ghast-
 ly spasm of merriment It was
 a nervous affection which had haunted him for years. It dated from time when in South America, in an acute crisis of desperate personal haz- ard.> he had laughed the first peal of that strange laughter of which he was to be ever after afraid.
 Before long the paroxysms ceased and he grew calmer. The quiet road had merged into a buster thorough fare He walked on slowly until his command was regained. West of the outer moat of the imperial grounds he turned up a pleasant lanelike street and presently entered his own gate. The house. into which he let himself with latchkey, was a rambling mod ern two story structure of yellow stucco. The lower floor was practically unused, since its tenant lived alone and did not entertain. The upper floor, beside the hall, contained small bed room, bath and dressing room and large, barely furnished laboratory. The latter was lined on two sides with glass covered shelves which gave glimpses of rows of books, of steel shells, metal and crystal retorts and crucibles, the delicate parapherna1ia of organic chemistry and complicated instruments whose use no one knew save himself-a fit setting for the great student, the peer of Offenbach in Munich and of Bayer in Vienna. Against the wall leaned a drafting board, on which, pinned down by thumb tacks, was a sketch plan of a revolving turret. From a bracket in a corner-the single airy touch of deli cacy in a chamber almost sordid in it's po1ntments-swung a bamboo cage with brown hiwa or Japanese finch, ! downy puff of feathers with its head under it's wing.
 In the upper hall Bersonin's Japa- nese head boy had been sitting at a small desk writing. Bersonin entered the laboratory, opened safe let into the wall and put into 1t something which he took from his pocket. Then he donned dressing gown the boy bought and threw himself into huge ,eaNher chair.
 "Make me some coffee, Ishida," he said. For an hour Bersonin sat smok- ing in the silent room-one cigar after another, deep in thought. All at once there came chirp from the cage in the corner and its tiny occupant, walk cd by the electric light, bust into song as clear and joyous as though before Its free wing lay all the meads of Eden. Bersonin rose and, whistling opened the cage door and held out an enormous forefnger. The little crea- ture stepped on it, and, held to his cheek, it rubbed its feathered head against it. For a moment he crooned and whistled to 1t, then held his finger to the cage and 1t obediently resumed it's perch and Its melody. The expert

 Barbara felt rather than saw that the ambassador gave a little shudder. ''I can imagine what that means" he said. "I saw Port Arthur after the siege. So war Is to grow more dread full still! When will it cease, won- der"
 Never" Bersonin answered, with a cold smile. "It is the love of power that makes war, and that in man is inherent and ineradicable. A nation is only the individual in the aggregate, and seldshness is the guiding gospel of both."
 To Barbara the words seemed cold ly, cruelty repellant. She felt sud den Fquiver of dislike run over her.

 ''The engine of the future''-B Bersonin spoke deliberately-"win be along oth- CT lines. It will be an atomic one. It will employ no projectile, and no armor plate will resist it. The discoverer will have harnessed the law of molecular vibration. As there is positive force that binds atoms together, so there must be negative force that under certain conditions can drive them apart"
 He spoke with what seemed an ex- traordinary conviction. His manner had subtly changed For the first time his tone had gathered something like feeling. and the dry, metallic voice seemed to Barbara to vibrate with a curious. gloating triumph.
 "Granted such a force" he went on, "and machine to generate aud direct r. sd of what varre IS the n1ast rc=- e-Iul battleship. the most stupendous fort? Mere silly shreds of steel and stone. Why. such an engine might be carried in single hand, and vet the nation tha. possessed il could be mas ter of the world"

 "That has occurred to me-" Bersonin said. 'I think your excellency is right, Invention may do its work too well. However, no doubt we speak of sci. entific impossibflities; let us hope so, at any rate"
 Barbara slipped into the next room, closing the door and drawing the heavy portieres that hung over it. She

roaQ dDSCIdCIeOly. He was wondering why Dr. Bersonin should have in his possession tech nical naval chart and what was the meaning of certain curious markings he had made on it.
 In the garden the moons faint light glimmered on the broad satiny leaves of the camelIias and the delicate trac- cries of red maple foliage. At it's far ther side, amid towering bushes, which cast long indigo shadows, stood a small pagoda brought many years before from Korea, and toward this Daunt and the girl, whom he had held for breathless moment in his arms, strolled slowly along a winding peb- bled path tremulant with the flicker ing shadows of little leaves. The structure had small platform, and here on bench they sat down, the fragrant garden spread out before them.
 He had remembered that a guest had been expected to arrive that day from America and knew that this Anust be she. But, strangely enough, it did not seem as if they had never before met. Nor had he the least idea that since that short sharp scene they had exchanged scarcely dozen words. In it's curious sequel, as he stood listening to the echo of Berso- nin's strange laughter, he had momen- tarily forgotten all about her. Then he had remembered, with a shock that he had left her perched in even ing dress on the high railing of the arbOr.
 ! "I wonder if you are in the habit ? she had said, with little laugh, "ot putting unchaperoned girls on the tops of fences and going away and forget ting all about them"

threw it over the cage and the song ceased.
 Bersonin went to the door of the room and fastened it, then unlocked desk and spread some papers on the table. One was a chart, drawn to the minutest scale, of the harbor of Yoko- hama. On it had been marked a group of projectile shaped spots sug gesting fotilla of vessels at anchor. For long time he worked historically, setting down figures, measuring with infinite pains, computing angles-al- ways with reference to a small square in the maps inner margin, marked in red. He covered many sheets of paper with his calculations. Finally he took another paper from the safe and com pared the two. He lifted his head with look of satisfaction.
 Just then he thought he heard flight noise from the hall. Swiftly and noiselessly as great cat he cross ed to the door and opened it.
 Ishida sat in his place scratching la- boriously with foreign pen.
 Bersonin's glance of suspicion alter ed What are you working at so in- dustriously, Ishida ?' he asked.
 The Japanese boy displayed the sheet with pride.
 It was an ode to the coming squad ron. Bersonin read it:
 Welcome, foreign men-of-war!
 Young and age,
 Man and woman, None but you welcome!
 And how our reaches know you but to
 satisfy,
 Nor the Babylon nor the Parisian you to
 treat.
 Be it ever so humble,
 Yet tidbit with our heart! What may not be accomplishment Rising
