THE BALTIMORE SUNS

THE TRANSCRIPT notes with
great pleasure the wonderful
growth of one of its most valued
exchanges-Ihe Baltimore Sun in
its morning and evening editions.
For the six months ending DC.
tober 31st, 1910, the total daily
circulation of the morning edi-
tion was 1928 of which 75,088
were cash.paid.for. This is the
official figure given by the Asso.
citation of American Advertisers
composed of go of the largest and
best known advertisers in the
United States.
The EUening SU1a has had from
the very start a marvellous
growth, having when less than a
year old, a circulation of 49,
900. The Sunday Sun has 45, 700
cash subscribers. On February
1st, 1911, the average daily cash
circulation of the two editions
for the month was 110, 453, a daily
gain of 6,772 as compared with
the months period ending Octo.
Der Dist, 1910, and this increase
is a continuous one.
This fine record is everyway
merited, for the Baltimore Suns
are admirable journals, full of
the best and latest news; not only
model family papers and Loyalty
devoted to Baltimore and Mary.
IRnd, but also cosmopolitan in their
comprehensive, worldwide sur
vey of the happenings of the hour
at home or abroad.
Editorially they rank among
the few really great papers in
this country. The fairness and
honesty of their editorials politi-
cally; their scope and learning,
marked by wisdom and garnished
with wit-are equalled by but
few journals.
The TRANSCRIPT cannot too
highly commend The Baltimore
San to its readers. May its be-
nefcent rays neverbe diminished.

| away from the yachts side with no
idea that she was running into any
possible danger.
1t was half a mile, perhaps, from
the yacht to the particular bit OF
shelving beach toward which she up-
consciously propelled the boat. She
rowed steadily, without so much as
glance over her shoulder, until she
felt the CRATE of the shingle beneath
the bow.
She became aware, not only that
she had unconsciously come ashore,
but also that the yacht was nowhere
to be seen. A bank of fog had come
rolling in from the eastward. so
heavy as to render an object 100
PAGES away totally invisible. The
clump of empty buildings here on the
beach could hardly be half that dis.
tance, as she remembered, yet looking
round from her seat in the row boat,
she could make out no more than
their blurred masses against the white
Ice and sand which surrounded them.
She scrambled out of the boat and
pulled 1t high up on the beach. Tho
fog made the air seem cold, though
for the arctic it was a mild night.
Two of the abandoned buildings ON
the beach behind her were mere
sheds, windowless. absolutely bare,
| never having served, evidently, any
other purpose than that of storage.
But the third, and largest, as she rR
membered 1t, offered a shelter that
was becoming attractive. There gere

which they had used in exploring its

at the same time keep an alert ear

She found the candle in the place

not, Tom, but unless you're very care
full. you'll succeed in doing it. don't

more now, not even sit here beside
you. I'm going to take little walk" !"
He held himself rigidly until till she
had disappeared round the end of the
deckhouse. Then he bent over and
buried his face in his hands!
What the thing was that reused him
to his present surroundings he never
knew. He was conscious of no sound,
but suddenly he sat erect and stared
about him in amazement. 1t had grown
quite dark. 1t must be two or three
hours since Jeanne had left the chair
beside him and announced that she
was going to take little walk.
He spoke her name, not loudly at
first, for he thought she must be close
by. But the infinite silent spaces
seemed to absorb the sound of his
voice. There was no sign that any
sentient thing, except his very self,
had heard the words he uttered. Then
he called louder.
The steps were rather difficult to
negotiate, but by using both hands
to supplement his one good foot, he
succeeded in creeping down them. and
then In making his way along the cor.
ridor to the girls door.
He knocked family at first; then
louder, and finally cried out her name
again, this time in genuine alarm. He
tried the door. found that it was not
locked. and opening 1t and switching
on light. perceived that the state.
room was empty.
He heard footsteps crossing the
deck overhead. No. that could not be
Jeanne; 1t was heavy tread, curl
GUS, shutting tread.
He closed the door behind him.
Then he limped slowly down the cor.
ridor toward the foot of the compan'
ionway. The heavy tread was already
descending the stairs.
He turned the corner, stopped short
and gasped. And that was all. There
was no time even for a cry. He had
caught one glimpse of a monstrous
| figure clad in skins, huge in bulk
hairy-faced like gorilla.
And then. the man or beast had
with beastlike Quickness, lifted his
arm and struck. And Tom Fanshaw
dropped down at his feet, senseless.

CHAPTER VII.
Tho Rosewood Box.

On the girl, Tom Fanshaw's passion
ate, stormy avowal had the effect OF
a sort of moral earthquake. 1t left
the ground beneath her feet suddenly
unstable and treacherous; 1t threaten
ed to bring down about her ears the
whole structure of her life. The very
thing she had relied upon for shelter
and security against outside troubles
and dangers, was, on the instant,
fraught with a greater danger than
any Of them.
For the first few moments after his
avowal she had felt no emotion other
than that of astonishment and in
credulity. Even when he asked her
II she could not marry him. anyway,
though the question revolted her, she
told the truth in saying that she was
not angry.
The anger came later, but 1t burned
into flame that was all the hotter
for it's hardness in kindling. 1t must
have an outlet somewhere, and as
such, the promenade up and down the
other side of the deck was altogether

.COCH|SE STOCK SALE
 CENTER OF INTEREST
Directors of Company Decide on Improvements Which
 NeceSSitate Payments

Interest in mining circles centers just now about the sale of the delin- quent stock of the Cochise Develop ment company, of which l. c. Shat tuck is president. The demand for the stock since the publication Of the notice Of forfeiture and sale has caused rise of the stock of from 30 to s2,00 per share. with very li;- tie stock hanging hands at the last named figure.
 The decision recently reached by the company to resume operations caused the directors to decide to ad- vertise the delinquent stockholders and give them an opportunity to pay up and 10 raise money to do the de yelopment work planned by the di- rectors.
 As the directors of the company decided to pump out the Cochise shaft to depth of 300 feet and sam pie the different places where ore was encountered at the time of the sinking of the shaft and as the com pany had no money with which to do the work at the time of this de cision, it was decided to advertise the delinquent stockholders and give them an opportunity to pay up and also raise money with which to do the work desired and pay the out standing bills and the 1910 taxes of the company" said L. c. Shattuck, president of the company.
 The Coehise Development company was organized in July. 1905, with a capitalization of 100000 shares at sIO each and issued 3S,000 shares of full paid stock to take up the out standing stock Of the Cochise Min ing company and sold 24.173 shares Of treasury stock to raise funds with which to develop the property. leav- ing 37,S27 shares in the treasury.
