"sit tight-sit ight!" he whispered
between his closed teeth. Don't give
an inch-they'vs got to-they don't
dare-ah-h!"
The last was q sigh of relief as the
cruiser swerved sharply In toward
Pasque, shot forward q couple OF
lengths and brought up suddenly with
q churning screw-hard and fast
aground.
A moment later the Echo rounded
gracefully to port within two yards OF
her stern; and simultaneously Apple
yard, leaning far out owe the comb
ing, made an exceedingly cunning
cast with a coil of line which Coast
had laid in against the possibility OF
a broken halyard. The flying loops
settled accurately into the water. just
above the foam kicked up by the
cruisers propeller, and in another In
slant Its motor stopped with a stran-
gulated gasp.
Out of the cloud of profanity that
smoked up from the cruisers cockpit
flew first one heavy sDanner, then an
other. Both splashed heavily along
side the Echo. Not until they had
drawn well out of range did Coast and
Appleyard rise from the shelter OF
the combings.

pleyard soberly, staring astern. i
reckon that, between the fWrow they
ploughed in that shoal and several
yards of good hempen rope cumming
up the shaft and screw, they'll bide
where they are a wee. Till the storm
blows over any way. 1t ought to take
a good diver or a marine railway to
free that shaft. Now, If you'll
give me the wheel, we'll go about and
get ready for business. That was
child's play, alongside of what's to
come. Get the sail up. please"
For q space thereafter Coast had
his hands full; the Echo was swing.

lew, respondent changing bell, and

Steadily the guiding 'longshore
lights swung round them, marking
their progress: to ~starboard Guilty
hunk shining ~steadfast as a low-hung
star, to port Gay Head lifting up its
lofty beacon, astern, low down, a glim-
mer, frequently lost-Nobska. No
nearer lights were there to bewilder;
wise coastwise mariners Rugged snug
harbors on such a night as that; the
Echo took her chance alone.
Touching Coasts arm, Appleyard
drew his attention to a tiny CLINT OF
light in the south, where No Mans
Land beckoned them from afar, across
a weary waste of broken waters.
Coast nodded, with a set, grave
face, knowing that his hour drew nigh.

whats o'clock!' he asked as he
stepped on deck.
About seven. Take the Wheel"
Appleyard dropped lightly into the
engine-pit as Coast ~obediently moved
to the stern and grasped the spokes.
His first glance was comprehensive,
summing up the situation In a single
cast; he was now fully awake and
very alert.
With a mufied cough the motor be-
gan to throb and drum. The Dcho
gathered way. Coast swung her gent
ly to starboard as Appleyard. throt-
thing the speed to half, climbed out
and dropped the hatch.
Right" the little man approved.
Nov hold her steady s1or Pasque, not
too far up channel, and stand ready to
put her about when l give the word"
AYE. aye" said Coast intelligently.
He pondered a while as the boat
forged sturdily up against the seas.
Suppose" he said abruptly, this
isn't the right boat"
Appleyard grunted unpleasantly.
ITS got to be-" he affirmed with con-
viction. What else could 1t be? :.
You'd make a shine gambler, If
you want to know" he added, bustling
about busily.
Coast subsidized, although he con-
tinued to eye the oncoming boat with
uumitfpatod mistruSt
Appleyard, having cast of all but
one Of the stops securing the gaf to
the boom, first lighted and set out the
starboard lamp, which was OF course
invisible to the approaching boat,
then lighted and placed the other be
meath the seat.
81 got an eye-full of her with the
glasses as she came across the bay"
he said, pausing beside Coast and bal
ancing himself lightly against the mo
ton OF the boat. She's a stopper all
right; a cabin cruiser about thirty
four over all with a good. stir engine
in her-twenty-ive HIP, I'd guess. She
moves when she moves!"
THAT argues q Of two" Coast
surmfsed.
"Just about-aside from u friend
the passenger, Mr.. Handyside-who's
in such a sweat to get on his job that
he has to risk the passage In the
teeth Of an easter" said the little
man. you can bet your boots no
one else would run the chance-nor
he, unless 1t was on urgent business.
Now go about and stand across
again, a bit further up the channel"
he advised as the Echo drew under
the shadow OF Pasque. $500: that's
It,"
The other vessel vas entering the
mouth of the channel, at the moment
that Coast put the helm over and
brought the Echo's green ~starboard
eye into view. A mile or so lay be-
tween them. Appleyard lifted the
hatch and opened the throttle full, be-
fore setting out the port light.
A shower of spray swept over the
Echo's counter as she bucked the tide.
That's the stuff" said the little
man. NOW they're wondering what
particular variety of darn fools we
are. Hold her as she stands-steady.
Two throaty blasts from an auto
matte whistle fioated down the wind.
"What'd I tell you?" chuckied APP
pleyard. "She's slowed down al

Coast was unable to discern any
change IN the speed Of the nearing
craft. "It hurts to do this" The lit

At Niagara Falls According to
the Report of Army
Engineers.

NIAGARA FALLS. N. ", Jan. b.
The United states Army engineers
assigned to make tests at Niagara
Falls, in order to determine what
effect the diversion Of water has had
upon the volume of flow over the
falls, have completed their work.
Their report. which is a yolumi-
nous pamphlet, states that the de-
crease in the sheet OF water flowing
over the american Falls" is only
fve-eights of an inch out of an aver
age depth of two feet-a decrease not
appreciate to the naked eye or to the
camera. on the ''Horse Shoe Falls
over which flows a volume of water
nineteen times as great and where
the average depth of flow is six feet,
the diminution is only three and
three-eighths inches.
The report points out that, at the
apex of the Horse Shoe, the torrent
has found soft spot in the ledge and
is wearing away the rock at the rate
of five feet year. 1t has formed a
gigantic cleft which sucks the water
from the ends Of the falls toward the
middle, and IT is this suction that
threatens to lay bare the rock near
both the Canadian and American
shores.
To save the Horse Shoe" there
port recommends submerged "
shaped dam pointing upstream
Against the point and sides Of this
dam the river would split itself and
the water would be DETECTED toward
the ends.
1t IS not possible for power diver
sions ever to damage the beauty Of
the scenery, because Of the treaty

Dinner is to Be Held in
Wheeling by Republicans
February 2.

A dollar dinner which will be held
for the purpose Of bringing together
the representative Republicans of
Ohio county as we'll as the state will
be held in Wheeling on the evening
of February .; arrangements for the
same being now looked after by a
committee composed of members of
the Ohio county Republican execu-
tive committee. Clarksburg Repub-
licans will be interested in the affair
for the very good reason that they
as well as all other Republicans in
the state who desire to do SO are in
vited to attend the dinner.
AT a meeting of the committee
held few nights ago it was decided
that within a few days invitations
would be sent out to many of the
prominent Republicans of the state
and all who care to attend the rally
and dinner are invited to be present
whether they receive an invitation
or not. That quite a number will
so from Clarksburg is certainty as
all are interested in the effort to
bring about state of harmony with
in the ranks Of the party, that will
be closer than that which exists at
the present time.
In addition to Governor Glasscock
and a number of other state officials
there will be present many of those
who will be candidates for various
positions at the Republican prI-.
maries to be held June 4. 1t is
likely that Senator Scott as we'll as
Senator Eikins will be guests of
honor at this affair and win make
short addresses.

Senator Platt and two minutes later
was summoned to his room, where
he explained that musr have mis-
understood him, that he had no in
tention of saying that l should not
be renominated for governor, that no
further effort would be made by the
New York delegation to put me in
nomination for the vice presidency
and that no opposition would be made
to my nomination as governor.
Accordingly the effort ceased and
the New York delegation put Wood
ruff in nomination. Later it devel-
oped that the convention, asa whole
was bound to, have me, and Senator
Hanna who mad Violently opposed
my nomination, made up his mind
that the feeling was so strong that he
could not afford to antagonize it.
After considerable hesitation then
concluded to accept III other words,
while i did mot intend to permit my
self to be forced into the vice presi-
dency, in order to get me out of the
governorship, did not feel at liberty
to refuse the nomination when it be-
came evident that the earnest desire
Of the Republicans as whole was to
have me take the position for the ben
eft of the party.

Howe's letter is in. hand as followsl
a have read your autobiographical
sketch of Senator Platt's life and

enda relating to the appointment Of
Colonel Roosevelt to the assistant

to say that the story as you. have told
i affords with the facts, Colonel
Aston did accompany Colonel Roose-
welt to Senator Platt's parlor for the
purpose of soliciting the. latter's in
dorsement of Colonel Roosevelt for
that position. The circumstances are
most clearly impressed upon my
mind" ,egn; ,e,
Later Mr.. Lang asked the privilege
of publishing Colonel Rooseyelt's
letter, to which Colonel Roosevelt re-
piled, under date of December 81.
1910:
Il desire that my letter should not
be published at present simply be-
cause it is not worth while to get

ator Platt about my being assistant

accuse him of intentional untruth."
