ORourke took upon himself the du-
ties of first officer under Captain
Quick. The Irishman cared little for
the sea, knew less of a first officers
duties; but it was patent that Quick
could not stand every watch, and
O'Rourke was not to be daunted by
any such slight matter as nautical in
experience.
In the knowledge that they were
safely off at last there was poignant
relief to the wanderer, as he stood by
Quick's side, on the bridge, with mid
night imminent and the ship still and
peaceful. "Ill stand the night watch
es," the captain announced. "By
morning We'll be far enough out for
you to take hold without spraining the
art of seamanship. G'dnight."
Thank ye," said O'Rourke. In fact,
he had long been sensible that he was
very drowsy; the night wind in his
face had something to do with that.
Good night" he returned, and went
down the ladder to the deck.
At it's foot he paused, turning curl
ously; it seemed that surely there
must be some serious trouble afoot in
the crew. The Irishman could see In
the glimmer of the forecastle lantern
a confused blur of naked, shining,
brown bodies and limbs, apparently
inextricably locked. A scream rang
shrill and there followed the sound of
a heavy fall.
Overhead, on the bridge, Quick was
roaring himself hoarse, without effect.
The sounds of shutting, of blows,
harsh breathing, stifled cries, contin-
ued. A knot of the contestants swept,
whirling, aft, toward the superstruct.

the air; the wind of it famed

With an unconscious, surprised oath,
O'ROurke stepped aside, his hand 60

in hand, he went forward to the raj
overlooking the struggling rabble on
the deck below. But they seemed in
tent only on their private differences
and Quick's roars were bringing them
to their senses. Gradually the tumult

moment or two he stopped and picked
up a long, thin-bladed knife, double
edged and keen as a razor. The point
was broken, having doubtless been
snapped off at the moment of contact
with the deck-house. O'Rourke turned
it over. soberly.

fine gold about her neck, it's termina-

forth, and displayed her pendant, a
little trinket of gold, a running grey
hound exquisitely modelled.

WILSON GAINING
MANY SUPPORTERS.

Governor Wilson, candidate for the
presidency on the democratic ticket,
has been gaining so many supporters
lately that to the sbrewd thinker
there can be no question Of his cleo
ton Tuesday Nov >, to the highest
once within the gift OF the American
people. Mr.. Wilson, when first nomi-
mated at Baltimore, was not looked
upon by the stsndpat republicans as
a hard rival and it was believed by
TAFT and his supporters he would be
an easy man to defeat The Bull
Moose supporters thought the same
but now that the campaign has pro
crossed 20 within a week Of the ma
tional election, the followers OF both
Taft and Roosevelt realize that Gov
ernor Wilson is a hard man TO defeat.
wilson's magnaminous disposition
toward Roosevelt when the latter was
shot at Milwaukee, refusing as he did
to take the stump until the colonel
was able to resume his own speaking
in the campaign, has won for him an
added contingent of voters from the
more liberal republicans. These added
to the new friends he has made seems
to make him practically inyincible
and there can be but little doubt OF
his election next Tuesday. There is
no question but Wilson viii secure tne
unanimous support Of the so-callel
solid-south and no doubt that with the
support OF an undivided democracy
in New York state, together with
TammaRy's support, that the empire
state will throw an Overwhelming
vote for the progressive governor o.

Wilson's record as governor Of New
Jersey speaks for Itself. While Roose

understood that he was popular and
had a considerable following. He has
been Chief of Police in the Federal
district, Governor Of oaxaca and
fairly notable figure in the Mexican
congress. He had been spoken OF
frequently as a man TT to administer
the government, and, with the pres
tige of the name of his DISTINGUISHED
uncle. his detection Was regarded as
a serious blow to Msdero.
It was an easy matter for General
Diaz to capture Vera Cruz. but it ap-
pears to have been equally eaiy for
Maderos forces TO capture Diaz. The
result will be to dlshearten the other
revolutionists and to pug new Tigor
into the repressiye measures of the
government.
The failure Of any considerable
number of Mexicans to rally to Diaz's
cause is an indication that the indus
trial classes OF the country are in
clined to sympathize with the desire
OF capital an commerce for a restor-
Grafton Of public order.
1t is plain that there was little
general sympathy with the nephew OF
the great Diaa when he raised his
standard Of revolt. No substantial ex-
cuse could be advanced for the move
ment which has come 10 so early a

required peace, not the sword.
whether or not the collapse of the
Diaz revolt will be followed by the
early quelling Of the instructions I'M

reason to hope now than there has
