cheerfulness. THAT is one reason why

more clearly than l do: 30, / dare say,

terry"
"Well?' asked Rylance gently.
''He said his name was Ward and

appeared from that country several
! months ago. This man. he said. had
been traced to Canada, but here the

There was a pause.

She stopped. Drops OF perspiratior
were gathering on Rylancc's brow.
And yet there was something abou

The face resembled mine?"

He merely said: He has disappeared

terly.
II asked him then why It was he ha,

rs Il possible that he failed to recos-
nize me. after all?" Rylance mutered
doubtfully.
A wild impulse to seek safety in
flight suddenly ovcrcame him In the
cove at the foot OF the cliff was the
little schooner Two Angels. Once well
OFF on this, he might cross the river to
the mainland and get ashore before
Ward could succeed In overtaking him.
But no! This would not dol There
was something stronger than love Of
liberty that bound him'to Basilton. He
would stay and Iaeet the issue.
The more he rohected on the subject
the more assured he became that Ward
had not penetrated his disguise. He re-
solved, however. that he would not ex-
pose himself to the danger of a second
encounter. .......
That the detective had come to Can
ada in search Of him was obvious. Of
course: but why. in coming to the island
| Of Orleans, had his inquiries had to do
with Jean Bregaut? How did It hap
pen that he had reason to suspect that
Rylance and Bregaut had ever met? A
chill stole over him as the idea occurred
to him that the man who. employed BY
Pregaut's daughter, was not visiting
| Jeans customers. had been identified as
the Cricket of Leeds by some one 10
whom his features had become fsmil' ar
/ In Quebec. II was clear, then, tina: his
,uitimate discovery was a question OF
only minutes or. at most. few hours.
Sick at heart, Rylance walked down
] to the shore OF the cove. There he en-
tered a dingey and rowed out to where
the Two Angels was anchored. After
boarding the schooner he went below
and, sitting by one of the cabin win
dows, kept his eyes on the cottage
on the cliff,
Half an hour later he saw Ware
leave the cottage and descend the step,
leading from the top OF the cliff. Tn.
detective walked slowly and appeared
to be gazing thoushtfully at the
ground, At length he reached the mair
street Of the village. There he entered
buggy that had been waiting In from
of the postoffice and few moments
later he was driving toward the uppe
end Of the island.
When Ward had disappeared from
view Rylance left the schooner an,
made his way to the cottage. He en-
tered by the. front door and In the hal
he met Anne. Her face was pale, an,
an expression Of relief settled on II a
Rylance closed the door.
"Im so glad you're back" she said

of yellow journal than it used to be.
The true explanation seems to be that
the country is bent on keeping a lit
tie closer eye on congress and finding
out what the national legislative body
is getting paid for.
1t is stated by members that there
is an increasing demand for the
Record from farmers and working
men. 1t used to be that only a few
folks in a congressional district took
the Record. Even libraries used to be
careless whether they got it or not.
Put nowadays it is different. The
farmers are reading more about con-
gress and so are the working peo-
pie. Whereas members used to find
that they had few requests for the
Record, they get plenty of them now.
The chief class that used to take the
Record was the lawyers. One of the
reasons attributed for the growth of
circulation for the growth of circu-
lation of the Record is the establish
ment of rural free delivery. Another
is to growing intelligence of the pub
lie on political and legislative mat
ters.

DEEP SEA SHIP HAUNTED
BY GHOST OF BIG SNAKE
Kattenturm's Crew Fears That Kaa's
Spirit May Return to Make
New Trouble.

New York.-The ghost of Kaa still
haunts the Kattenturm. The Katten-
turn is a nomadic freighter whose
wanderings recently brought her into
Boston from Calcutta, and where on
her arrival few days ago was told
the tale of Kaa, an overgrown, beady-
eyed, baggy-throated cobra, devil
possessed reptile whose baneful eye
had caused Sama, the fireman, to
jump overheard and drown himself
in the deep sea, and whose evil pres
epce had driven Alice and Byng, the
two Malay quartermasters, and the
rest of the Malay crew out of all peace
of mind throughout the rest of the
long journey.
Having landed her consignment of
jute and tea in Boston, the whale
back yesterday came into this port,
cropping for cargo. The Katten-
turn is under the command of Capt.
Masselius. Second Officer Schultz
explained that while the freighter
was chugging her placid way through
the Indian Ocean, Alice, the quarter
master, accidentally let fall heavy
iron bar on top of the crate wherein
the cobra was coiled. The bar broke
through the light woodwork of the
upper part and in another instant the
uplifted head of the cobra was wav-
ing through the opening. Alice fled
Then the reign of terror which cost
one man his life, followed.
|. Nothing more was seen of the SER
pent until after the vessel had an
chored in Boston harbor, when the
snake whisked out of the hold
sauirmed to the edge of the ship and
slid overheard into the water.
That was the last of Kaa, and the
crew of the Gattenturm earnestly pray
that it will be the last that will ever
be seen of him.
