! Malone, to Danny's intense d1sRay
| O'Rourke took upon himself the du
ties of first officer under Captain
| Quick. The Irishman cared little fol
the sea, knew less of 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.
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 'I'll 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 We 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 its 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-
ure. Something shot singing through
the air; the wind of it famed
O'Rourke's cheek.
With an unconscious, surprised oath,
O'Rourke stepped aside, his hand go
ing toward his revolver. The missile
struck a stanchion, glanced and fell
gathering into the scuppers. Revolver
in hand, he went forward to the rail
overlooking the struggling rabble on
the deck below. But they seemed in
tent only on their private differences,
and Quicks roars were bringing them
to their senses. Gradually the tumult
subsidized, the contestants separating
and sinking forward to their quarters.
ct may have been chance"
O'Rourke conceded a bit doubtfully.
He swung about and moved aft slow
by, examining the deck intently. In a
moment or two he stopped and picked
up long, thin-bladed knife. double
edged and keen as 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.
Faith, | don't like to think it was
Intentionally me head would have
been split had it come two inches to

He returned to the bridge. calling
Quick aside You're armed?''
Certainly always armed when I'm
dealing with these devils. Why?"

Quick laughed at his theory. Moth.

dom caught a word with Dolly
now since her titled sutton, under
parental sponsorship, had mo-
nopolized her every leisure hour.
Dolly cared not a whit for the
count; she liked his companion
ship even less; but the workings
of the young lady's mind were
many and involved and she knew
where was drawn the line over
which she must not step in open
ly opposing the wishes of her
father.
1t was Count Rivo1i who pro-
posed motoring to the inn far out
along the lake shore, supping
there and returning late by moon
light. To Dolly, psychologically,
was conveyed the Italians inten-
ton to put his future happiness
or financial standing-to the
test; Arnold had become too
grumpy and Saturnine to be open
even to the most openly intirnat-
ed purpose upon the part of his
rival. Self ACKNOWLEDGEMENT was
not the least important topic to
which Rivoli devoted his musical
voice and captivating accent. The
Italian was a splendid talker,
when his words reached only the
ears of women, and with an air of
modesty c1oaking his utterances,
he contrived to dwell at length
and at all times upon his heroic
achievements. According to the
Count Rivoli, the courage of the
Count Rivoli knew no bounds; for
Mees Dolce he would dare any
danger, go to any length to win

Dolly had ceased to answer. even
in monosyllables, allowing the
Italian to run on, building up the
pedestal upon which he was to
take his stand.
81 am glad that you have no
brigands here, Mees Dolce" he
was saying in a tone which prom
ised reminiscence. "But when
one comes right down to it, it is
not good to have no opportunities
for excitement save for lodging
death in these terrible streets of
yours. Just before l left my home
in Italy, l myself escaped death
or capture at the hands of what
you call hold-up men. Had l not
been so prompt and cool of action,
shot one man where he stood and
put the others to flight, I would
have"
A growing curse burst from
Arnold. He threw on the brakes
with grinding force and Dolly
and the count were abruptly hud-
died together by the gear-tearing
stop of the car. With an inn
patient, explosive Italian word,
RivoIi sprang up. Suddenly, with
his face gone to sickly pallor,
his jaw dropping till his mouth
gaped open, he sank back weakly
upon the cushions.
."Ah-ah-ah-ah-" he mumb1ed
uninteIligibly, and then sat in
quaking silence.

WILL PROBABLY COMPROMISE
ON s. P. & S. CROSSING

The matter of altering the grade
crossing at the S. P. & S station
was taken up by the Public Service
Commission yesterday when the
commissioners, together with the
members of the city council, made
survey of the crossing. 1t is prob
able that instead of insisting upon
an underground crossing at this
point, a compromise will be af-
fected, whereby the railroad will
widen the embankment so as to
permit a level crossing for about
l 90 feet on both sides of the tracks,
will enclose the crossing with SUBJ
stantial timber fence and will re-
duce the grade of the approaches
from six per cent to four per cent.

BEWARE OF THIS! !!

When the Prosser court house
deal was exposed, DR.. D. M. Angus
and E. J. Ward were forced to sign
a declaration to the effect that they
were opposed to the building of a
court house. but have you noticed
that neither have SIGNED o.
statement saying that it
elected they will not vote for
the building Of u court
house until the building has been
authorized by a vote Of the people?
The declaration they did ssign is
meaningless, with plenty of reading
between the lines and should be
taken for exactly what it is worth
nothing. Remember, too, Mr.
Taxpayer, that Prossers s
commissioner from the End
district is elected for only
t1Uo years While the qUes-
tion of the removal of the
county seat cannot be Uoted
upon again for four years.
There is o. gap Of two years
in Which the 1Uest end ring
may put across their court
house grab U7aza0napered BY
any pledge to the people.

QUESTION

The Prosser campaigners are max
ing a great hula baloo over the fact
that when Benton county was
formed, six years ago. the new
county was forced to assume $26,
600 of Yakima county's bonded in
debtedness, which is now entirely
paid off, leaving Benton county free
from debt.
Question: If it took this county
six years to discharge a $26 600 debt
how many years would the taxpayers
be kept digging down into their
jeans to pay for the pressed brick
and art tile court house which Pros
ser would build?

K. A. A. A. ORGANIZED

For the purpose of establishing a
city basketball league the Kenne-
wick Amateur Athletic Association
was orga nized this week. Four
teams will enter the league, the first
game of which will be played on
Thanksgiving Day. The teams are
as follows; Bellows Toggery, Fruit
& Produce Co., Kennewick Clothing
Co., and the High School team.
The schedule is now being arranged
and will be announced in a later
issue.
The Association has made ar
rangements with the school board
which has kindly let the boys have
the use of the high school gym
nasium under an agreement by
which the association is to pay for
the water, light, heat, and janitor
service. The officers of the associa-
ton are: G.. E. Tweedt, Pres. w.
C. Summers. Vice-Pres.; H. E.
Groom, Sec'y-Treasurer; and an ex-
ecutive board to consist of the above
officers and Irving Gleason and

WILL PROSSER
ANSWER THIS?
Questions the Busy Explainers at
the Present County Seat Have
Never Yet Tackled

And now that the Prosser news
papers have admitted that there
were $1O5,O76.4S in the county
treasury Sept. 1, 1912, will they
explain to the taxpayers of the coun-
ty, how much of this amount was
paid into the treasury by the people
in the east end of the county, and
how much of it was piled up in the
Prosser banks drawing 20 per cent
interest? Will they explain how
much of Kennewick' s $50, 900 school
bond issue was kept in the Kenne-
wick banks, how much of Rich
lands school bond issue was kept
in the Richland bank, how much of
Hanford's school bond issue was
kept in the Hanford bank and how
much of Finley's school bond issue
was kept in any of the east end
banks?
Will they explain why Prosser's
assessed valuation was lowered $1O3,-
427 last year and Kennewick 8 raised
$91,971? Will they explain why
337 Prosser people signed the Ben
ton City petition2 Will they tell
us why DR.. Angus has not dared to
conduct his campaign in the east
end of the county or explain why
neither Angus or Ward would sign
declaration against the building of
court house until they were forced
to do so by Kennewick?
If the Prosser newspapers would
give the taxpayers of the county
some of the facts concerning the
administration of county affairs as
they happen, and not wait until
the information is pried out of them,
it would not require eighteen col
umns OF their space to explain one
monthly balance in the treasurer's
Office.
