"Whigs" In History.

The party in the colonies which pro
noted and backed the revolution took
the name Wings. Their principles
were the same as those of the Wings
OF England, only they were made ap-
plicable to this country. In 1884 the
name was revived, the Federal party
having come to an end in 1917. From
that time all American politicians
were simply Republicans. But soon
different views n held by the va.
rious members of the party with the
results that factions were formed un.
der their w leaders. Adams, Clay
n their followers believed in a pol-
icy OF protection and federal internal
improvements and a broad or loose
construction of the constitution. 9th.
ers, who construed the constitution
strictly, opposed these things and
found a leader in Jackson. The for
mer took the name of National Repub-
l1cans. After his defeat their chief
leader was Clay, whom they nominate
ed for president In 1881. Their oppo.
sition to Jackson drew to them VA.
rious elements, and, as opponents Of
executive usurpation, in 1884 the
coalition took the old name of Wings.
The Wing body always formed a coal:
ition rather. than a party. there being
two divisions, the northern and
southern Wings.

drifted into view, separating itself
with mysterious suddenness from the
waste of the sea, an empty life boat.
And. clinging to its edge, making des-
perate efforts to enter it, was Stapf-
haus. With the last vestiges of my
rapidly waning strength l pulled my
self together; the heavy boat slowly
dipped toward us till her edge was
level with the waves. One last en-
deavor, and Stapfhaus and l lay on
her bottom, side by side. But wheth-
er we were friends or bitterest enc
mics, neither of us was able to lift a
finger toward the other in friendship
or enmity.
How long we lay there helpless at
the mercy of the winds and waves, 1
do not know. Luckily, the promise of
the storm had not been fulfilled, or we
should have been swamped many
times before morning. When the sky
lightened I was able to sit up and look
YEARLY round me. We had drifted
beyond the circle of treacherous ice
foes, which had vanished utterly, as
though, having fulfilled their deadly
purpose, there remained nothing more
for them to do. We were adrift upon
the breast of the immense Atlantic.
Stapfhaus hauled himself into a sit
ting posture and regarded me. When
he spoke his voice was nothing but a
shaky whisper. l wonder, now, wheth-
er mine was, too.
Adams" he said, Il have no weap-
on here. But, for all that we have
gone through and escaped from, l
swear that one of us shall never live
to be picked up by any ship unless
unless you hand to me the Anglo
American treaty"
Il stared at him awhile; then an
swered:
"%Stapfhaus, when you accused me
of having a treaty in my possession
last night l thought that the disaster
had turned your brain. Yet now l rec
ollect that you actually ransacked my
room, even as l did yours, apparently
under the influence of that same be.
lief. Stapfhaus, l have no treaty.
But you have one which Is upon YOU
round your waist or about your neck.
And l swear that one of us shall go
plunging down into this depths of sea,
unless you deliver it to me-"
Why did you ransack my room?"
he demanded, huskily. why did you
take ship with me?"
Ito get the treaty"
II have no treaty." he shrieked out
at me. II took ship to intercept you
at. New York because l heard that you
were on your way to deliver your
treaty to the American president"
WHO told you that" l demanded.
my sovereign, the kaiser" he an.
swered, proudly. And you?"
His majesty, King Edward VII"
| answered. Well, shall we strip"

you NO papers upon you?"

clear. descend to the water head first
and grind against the ship, splitting
out its helpless occupants among the
waves. Cries of horror arose. All
this passed before my eyes like a
panoramic vision. My brain was back
in the little cabin, and Stapfhaus vas
threatening me with his pistol. Then
l looked down and saw the weapon in
my own hands.
What for?" I cried again.
ITO defend yourself" he cried back
to me. You r a man of honor. l
give you equality with me. l have
lost my advantage. Afterward we will
fight out our quarrel"
Then. seeing that l still did not un-
derstand, he shouted:
"We will fight our way toward one
of the boats. We must live. 1t is our
duty to live. l want you t o live-so
that / can get that treaty."
"What?" l cried, astounded.
"It isn't in your cabin. And you
brought it on board. Therefore it is
upon you. l will not lose sight of you
as long as either of us lives"
Had the disaster unhinged his mind,
that he, the treaty bearer, should &C
cuse me of being in possession of it?
Stay! Why had he ransacked my
room? Was it credible that s.apfhaus
was under the delusion that 1, too, had
a treaty? Before l could turn my mind
to the consideration of this problem

l saw women dubbed and struck down
upon the deck, men fighting with tooth
and claw for admission to the boats,
which hung all ways in the air and
either never reached the water or
were launched only TO be pounded to
fragments against the vessels sides.
And, even as l watched this final

But Loretta did not wait for deriya-
tons. A moment later her brother
heard her talking to Mrs. Dingle. The
conversation lasted for some time and
was evidently spirited, so he waited to
hear the outcome. When Loretta came
back, however, she was not talkative,
and 1t required skill to enable him to
discover what was wrong.

said at last desperately, Mrs. Dingle
thought I had everything"
Rather a heavy load for one"
And l thought she had the toys. We

SURELY HAD A BUSY DAY
And With All the Excitement Perhaps
They Were Not to Blame for
Their Oversight.

II am awfully tired,' sighed Loretta
as she dropped heavily into a chair.
But l have had a very good day of
1t. Mrs. Dingle and l went shopping
to get some toys for the bazaar. The
church women decided that they would
have a booth for inexpensive toys to
catch the children's pennies and per-
haps a tishpond."
Whats a fishpond?" asked her
brother. "A matrimonial booth?'
Its a place where the children have
tishpoles and fish over a curtain be-
hind which we hang toys or the hooks.
OF course we had to have lots of small
toys that didn't count up in price, so
Mrs. Dingle and ! decided we'd 20 to
the five and ten-cent stores and select
a number.
I'VE rather late getting started
because Mrs. Dingle couldn't find the
list that the president Of the Aid So
ciety gave her, but at last we set out.
1t was after IL when we got downtown,
SO Mrs. Dingle took me to a tea room
for luncheon. 1t isn't the quickest place
In tho world to get waited on; but real
ly we were rather slow ourselves. We
had a lot to talk about, and I
think we discussed everything under
the sun.
Then Mrs. Dingle wanted to go to
a matinee, even if it was late, and we
tried at two or three places, but we

And such a help to the bazar!" her
brother murmured. mo doubt you two

tee on account Of your faithful and
conscientious labors. l always said
you we're a wonderful worker when
you once got started"
I'VE didn't stay for the whole per-
formance," Loretta explained. "You
see, Mrs. Dingle remembered that she
wanted to match some ribbon and, any
how, the last part Of the program
was not new I would have stayed if
I had been alone, but I was Mrs.
Dingle's guest, and I couldn't very we'll

Hardly. ! am proud to see that

"You needn't make fun of me-" Lo-

After we got the ribbon we went
to the ten-cent stores and bought the
toys"
THE plot thickens!" cried the
brother. "Now we come to the cli-
max"

said. I'VE went to all the stores and

menting, while they carried with them
such trif1es as they had been able to
save or had snatched up IN the con-
fusiOn-Often Of the most incongruous
nature. From abaft came curses and
groans. From time to time the boards
would resound with the confused
trampling of bare feet; then these
sounds would cease suddenly and the
shouts would be resumed. Looking
down, I became aware that these cries
were from the steerage passengers.
At each ladder which led to the decks
from this region of the ship two men
were posted; and each held a pistol
in either hand and guarded the ap-
%proaches.
The burly figure of the captain ap-
peared. There was a concerted rush
for him. For a moment passengers
and crew struggled together. Then
his voice rose clear and clean above
the medly of sounds:
There Is no immediate danger.
Lower the life boats and be ready to
cast off,"
Hardly had the words left his lips,
however, when a thrill seemed to run
through the ship. The stern rose per-
ceptibly in the air. "She is sinking!!"
cried a hundred voices. All disci-
pine was lost. The sailors, lowering
the boats, had the ropes snatched out
Of their hands by frantic passengers.
The mob vas gaining control. And,
at the critical moment, suddenly there
came a renewed rush from the steer
age against the ladders. l heard a re.
volver crack, a man cry. Then, with
the roar of a single beast, the steerage
passengers had swept over all OBJ
stacles and 10 further semblance of
order vas possible. Suddenly l felt
Stapfhaus thrust a pistol, into my
hand.
What for?" l cried in aston1sh-
ment. We stood a little aside from
the fighting. furious mobs, helpless to
prevent their deeds. Women were be-
ing thrust aside; l saw q boat swing
