CAT DEFEATS DESIGNS
OF SCHOONER'S CREW
Remains in Rigging During
Period When Shipmates
Suffer From Hunger.

NEW YORK. January I'm tow OF the

whose signals of distress had brought
the Atlantic City life savers to her assist
ance Sunday. was towed yesterday TO an
anchorage in the upper bay. Sneereo
from her course by a continuation OF
northeast gales. the little vessel had been
twenty-three days on journey from
Satilla river, Ga. When 1t was begun
Capt. Parker did not imagine that the
voyage would last more than two weeks
at most and as a result the vessel ran
short of food and the crew had been on
half rations for several days before hel
signals Of distress brought the life savers
out to see what was wrong.
These men tided over the immediate
needs of the crew and later the steamer
Powhatan added to the supply. The
Hercules fell in with the 1aggard of
Barnegat yesterday and Capt. Parker
accepted a tow to port.
Castro the: Wise Guy.
The men Of tho tugboat sought to add
a bit of New Year gayety to the yarn by
a tale of Castro. the cat. Lucas, one o.
the seamen had fallen from aloft ant
had received injuries which had put hin
on the sick list for the rest OF tho voy
age. Then the schooner sprung a leal
and the crew thought that the spirit o.
Jonah had entered into the cat and Their,
was a suggestion that he be thrown over
board.
When the provisions began to run Low
the disposition Of Castro was revised t.
contemplate a massacre of him and ca
stew. It was solemnly vowed that Castrt
became aware of this attitude on the par
of his shipmates. that he forthwith betool
himself to the rigging and stayed Their
day and night, and never once CAM

POLICE AFTER TWO MEN
CHARGED WITH MURDER
Death of Inventor Has Already
Resulted in Arrest of
His Wife.

CHICAGO, January 1.-TWO men are
being sought In connection with the STAY
ing Of Charles D. Morrow. the inventor.
for whose murder his widow, Mrs. Rena
Bacon Morrow, a youthful writer and
poet, Is under arrest. One is Harry
Gilmoure, the automobile salesman. who
roomed at the Morrow house, while the
second Is an admirer Of the wife. whose
name the police refuse to reveal.
Mrs. Morrow could not get bail yester-
day, and as a result had to spend her
second night in a cell. This afternoon
Municipal Judge Fake will hold a pre-
liminary hearing. which will be adjourned
until after the second inquest, which will
be opened at 2 o'clock.
Voluntarily Returns.
Inspector Clancy yesterday received a
telegram from Harry Gilmoure at Rock
Island, ILL.,, in which the automobile
salesman said that he had just heard
that he was wanted in connection with
the Morrow case, and would return in
time for the inquest today.
Charles f. Erbstein. counsel for Mrs.
Morrow, said last night that bondsmen
for Mrs. Morrow would be on hand this
morning. and she will be out on $25.OO
bail before the preliminary hearing. The
police will accept bail.
The Eastern Star Lodge, the women s
auxiliary to the Masons. will back Mrs.
Morrow financially. morally or other
wise, according to a statement of Mrs.
Lottie L. Wiley, former grand worthy
matron Of the state in that Organiza-
| ton.
Disappears From View.
The second man. who is supposed to
have been an admirer of Mrs. Morrow
boarded at her home. This man, 1t If
said, was married, and until the morn
ing when Morrow's body was found was
very attentive to Mrs. Morrow. Thurs
day morning, however. he is said to have
| left the house and has not yet been 10
Gated.
| Mrs. Morrow's friends, who are &C
auainted with the trend Of her literary
productions. are astounded at the devel
opments in the case. She has written 6
great deal, mostly verse. for local maya
zines and all of her productions have hae
| a strong religious note.

did not ask herself where. The inter-
val between what she last remem-
bered on the beach-the rush and
swirl of water-and what she woke to,
absorbed the hazy workings of her
mind.
The young man stopped; stirred the
fire, and after a pause, apparently to
give her time to collect her thoughts,
repeated his question: "Are you bet

CHAPTER YIIl.
The Old Watch-Tower,

Z wall! A window-a prison-like
inferior! AS her eyes opened, the
Governors daughter stroye confusedly
to decipher her surroundings. The
wall seemed real; the narrow window,
too, high above, framing, against a
darkening background, a slant of fine
rain. Again she closed her eyes, only
to be conscious of a gentle languor;
a heaviness like that OF half-sleep; OF
bodily heat, and also a little bodily
pain. For an indefinite period, really
a moment or two, she resigned herself
to that dreamy torpor; then, with an
effort, lifted her lashes once more.
AS she gazed before her, something
bright seemed leaping back and forth;
a fiame-that played on the wall; re-
vealing the joints between the stones
OF massive masonry; casting shadows,
but to wipe them out; paling near a
small window, the only aperture ap-
parent in the cell-llke place. Turning

'Isn't-isn't it storming outsider"
"A little-not much" A smile
crossed the dark features.

ing herself to speak, 1T had just be-

Yes.
"And this place."
"The old watch-tower."
"But how" Then she noticed that

many jagged marks as from a fierce
struggle. How did you hurt your

ooh, was standing on the cliff" he
answered carelessly, 'and-saw your
horse running away"
"YOu did? And then-came down."
What else was there to do?" he
said simply.
Her gaze returned to the fire. "But
the tide was rushing in-rushing! it

into which his hands were thrust; OBJ

interrupted, sparkle in his eyes.

would dare, and you did,"
About to reply, she became once
moro aware she was still very dizzy
from the fall on the sand; the shapely
figure swayed and she put out her
hand with a gesture of helplessness.
AT the same time, the man reached
forward quickly and caught her. A
moment was she conscious Of firm
grasp; a dark, anxious gaze bent upon
her; then. slid gently back to the
stone seat.
A brief interval, and gradually she
began to see again more distinctly
a mans face, not far from hers; a face
that drew back as her own look
cleared. At a respectful distance he
now stood. his bearing at once erect
and buoyant, and more curIously she
regarded him. A distinct type, here

features; courage and daring were
written on the bold, self-reliant brow.
And with this realization of something
distinctive, compelling, in his person

before. On the beach-the night of
