NEW YORK, July 10.-William
Rockefeller has solved the problem of
how to prevent speeding through his
estate, in the hills back of larry
town. Broadway in front of Mr..
Rockefeller's estate had to be closed
while some brick work on Arch hill
was being repaired. The only way
for automobilists to cut around the
hill was through Mr.. Rockefeller's
property and he gave his consent.
His superintendent reported yes

speeding through the property and
tearing up fine roads. Mr.. Rookie
Teller said, I'VE will stop that" and

Soon automobilists were driving
through the Rockefeller estate at less
than ten miles an hour and using ex-

Stand by, Wheeler, to stop the motor.
Well drop alongside with the current,
as quietly as we can. Colonel
O'Rourke, will you get forward and
take the boathook and headwarp,
please; I'm needed at the wheel and
Wheeler at the engine until We make
fast
Cautiously the Irishman rose, took
the boathook Couch offered him, and
crept out upon the narrow triangle OF
deck at the bows. Crouching there,
he found the headwarp and waited,
tense with anxious expectancy, star
ing ahead in futile effort to penetrate
the wide, shadowy reaches of the riv-
er. But the mystical distances con-
fused and eluded him. The launch
seemed to move, painting, in an abyss
of night. She made little noise:
hiss of water beneath her stem; the
steady humming of the motor, throt-
tied down to half speed; the muffled
gasping of the exhaust. And present

Abruptly a towering wall Of opaque
black rose out of the darkness to

for the imminent instant of action,
poised so lightly upon his toes and
fingertips that a swell from a. moving
vessel would have thrown him off
his balance, perhaps overheard. The
launch closed swiftly and silently in
upon the black wall; it lowered over
him like a cliff; far above he could
see dim divisions between black and
black that must be the rail. And he
shook his head, dismayed; he could
never scale that, he thought; not even
the O'Rourke could accomplish mir
acle. But in a breath it had faded
back, and he realized that the tower
ing poop of the junk had misled him.
They were now alongside at the waist.
He stood up and saw low railing

the rail, drew the launch in, let go the

Something dealt him vicious, all
but paralysing, blow in the pit of the
stomach; he doubled up, for a mo-

but retained sufficient presence of
mind to hold on to the headWarp.
Then, recovering trifle, he squirmed
over and fell sprawling upon the deck,
his heels drumming an abrupt and
violent alarm From somewhere he
heard shrill jabbering arise, with an
ensuing patter of bare feet Swiftly
he got upon his knees and drew in the
headwarp, with his free hand search

thing thumped heavily on the deck be-
side him, and grunted; and something
else followed with second bump;

prayed fervently. getting upon his feet

it revealed beggared the experience of
man whose trade was fighting; it
fell upon decks slippery with blood
and Uttered with the bodies of dead
and wounded; it silenced confusion
indescribable. Upon that insane turmoil
the light fell with the effect of thun-
derbolt from clear sky.
Screaming shrilly in their panic. the
Chinese scattered and fell away, leav-

being down and buried beneath three
Chinese cOrpses. And instantaneOusly

tumbled inboard. Others to the num-

wards them, babbling orders and in
structions.
The second launch had arrived.
Sick and faint, O'Rourke slouched
back against the rail. watching with
lack-luster eyes the end of the chap
ter. 1t was simple to the point of
seeming farcical in comparison with
that which preceded it. The dazed and
now outnumbered Chinese offered no
further resistance Disarmed and put
under guard. they disappeared from
his consciousness, while he watched
the men from the second launch
spurred by Couch, scatter in search of
the abducted women.
Loss of blood was beginning to tell
upon him; his strength seemed alto
gether gone; his wits buzzed in his
head like a swarm of gnats He
grasped his support convulsively, be-
ginning to appreciate how seriously
he was hurt. He heard as from great
distance thin, faint cries of men shout
ing in triumph; saw Couch, a pygmy
shape, holding in his arms a doll who
wore the face of Miss Pynsent. Then
of sudden he was conscious of
woman Fastening toward him, a fan
tastic and homogeneous figure in din
ner-goWn, her skirts trailing in the
slime of the shambles, her arms out
held to him; and knew her for his
wife.
He essayed to speak. but could not.
He felt her arms close about him. In
the face Of the searchlight's penetrat-

closed down upon him.

house and they state the vineyard
from which the wine came These
labels, about Is in number, have been
dug up on the ruins of the storehouse

here they paused, hand in hand, look

Buddha, who squatting crosS-legged
upon a pedestal, looked through the
incense-scented gloom ceaselessly for

The figure, carven originally from
stone, had been so heavily plastered
with gold-leaves by the devout, that
now it had all the semblance of being
gold to it's core; and, lavishly deco

evening glow it shone like some great

BY this time the vessel seemed to

at bay, not daring to venture from the
spot on which they had landed, firing
steadily but with discretion.
Huddled together like children in

three held their fire against the inev-

fearfully by their absolute ignorance
of the lay of the deck, of the number

quarter they had to expect the attack.
And the silence and the suspense
wore upon their nerves until the final
struggle came in the shape of boom
to save them rom madness. And it
came with rush and a will, cyclonic,
tremendous, overpowering. BY sheer
weight of human flesh the Europeans
were pinned against the rail- fighting
at handgrips with cruel and cunning
foe far better prepared for such buA..

quarters pistols were practically
worthless save as clubs, while knives
could slip to slay through almost any

RAIL men WORRY
First Warning of Car Shortage
in Kansas Today.
But Others Are Coming.
SEND PLEA TO SHIPPERS
State Is Facing Worst Trouble
in Many Years.
May Request Utilities Board to
Issue Circulars.

In order to avert a serious car short
age that already is staring Kansas in
the face, railroad men in Topeka are
preparing to enlist the assistance OF
the state public utilities board and
Kansas shippers in the problems OF
handling grain. The first warning of
the coming shortage was felt by the
Rock Island today when the road
found it necessary to put forth extra
efforts to handle grain in the south
western part of the state.
Officials of the Rock Island and Santa
Fe admit that there is trouble ahead
in Kansas. This trouble can be averted
in large degree by the shippers. 1t
is the intention of Topeka railroad men
to ask the state utilities commission
to issue a circular plea to the ship
pers pointing out to them the import
ance of unloading cars Immediately
The circulars would be issued with
the object of calling the attention to
pan1eS of the threatened danger of a
serious shortage of cars for grain
shipments in the next few months. The
demand for cars at this time is great
and 1t will increase in the next few
months.
Shippers and Railroads Cooperate.
1t is stated by railroad men thac
control largely lAe prospective car
shortage. If shippers would order no
more cars than they could load quick
ly, If the loaded cars woul9 be billed
out Immediately. if merchants using
cars that could be rushed into grain
service would load and unload with
out delay-it is said that the short
age fear in Kansas could be reduced
to q minimum.
The demurrage proposition has kill
ed many railroad cars in Kansas. Mill
ers who do not have storage facilities
viii bring a car of grain in on the
sidetrack and allow it to stand there
until they have enough flour to reload
the car Other millers rather pay de-
murrage than rent storage rooms for
grain. In this way the railroad COM
panies are helpless and the cars stand
for weeks on the sidetracks-idle.
Commercial bodies, manufacturing
and wholesale institutions and state
utilities commissions all over the
country have pied with the shippers
to assist in controlling the shortage
situation. Kansas has said nothing.
Railroad men are anxious that some
action be taken by the state com mis-
sion.
They promise to do their share in
aiding the movement.
