CHAPTER VI.
On Board the Jeanne Dare.

IL hard usage and obstacles could
cure a knight-errant of his sentiment,
then Jimmy Hambleton had been free
of his passion for the Face. His
plunge overheard had been followed
by a joyous swim, lusty call to the
yacht for Help" and growing
amazement when he realized that it
was the yachts intention to pass him
by. He had swum vaiiantly, deter.
mined to get picked up by that par
ticular craft. when suddenly his
strength failed. He remembered
thinking that it was all up with him,
and then he lost consciousness.
When he awoke he was on a hard
bunk in dim place, and a sailor was
Jerking him about. His throat burned
with a fiery liquid. Then he felt the
plunging and rising of the boat. and
came to life sufficiently to utter the
stereotyped words, where am II"
In Jim's case the question did not
imply the confused cropping back to
sense that 1t usually indicates, but
rather an actual desire to know
whether or not he was on board the
Jeanne Dare. Plainly his wits had
not been badly shattered by his ex-
perience overheard. But the sailor
who was attending him with such min
istrations as he understood, answered
him with a sample OF French which
Jim had never met with in his school
books. and he was not enlightened for
some hours
1t was indeed the Jeanne D'Arc
as Jim proved for himself the
next day, and he was lying In the
seamen's quarters In the fo'cas'le By
morning he felt much better, hungry.
and prepared in his mind for striking
a bargain with one of the sailors for
clothes. He could make out their
lingo soon, he guessed, and then he
would get a suit Of clothes and fare
on deck Suddenly he grasped his
waist, struck with an unpleasant
thought; his money-belt was gone! He
was wearing a sailors blue flannel
shirt and nothing else. He turned over
on his hard bunk, thinking that he
would have TO wait a while before
making his entrance on the public
stage OF the Jeanne dare.
And wait he did. Not a rag OF
clothing was in sight. and no cajolery
or promise of reward could persuade
the ships men into supplying his
need. He received consignments OF
food short rations they would be. he
judged. for an able-bodied seaman.
But inactivity and confinement to the

CHAPTER VII.
The Rope Ladder.

The near prospect OF conclusive
struggle for life Is q sharp tonic to
the adventurous soul. The actual
final summons to that other room Is
met variously. There is earthly dig
nifty, who answers even this last tap
at the door with fitting and quotable
rejoinder; there Is deathbed repen'
lance, whose JUNCTION In momento NOR
It's is doubtless a comfort to pious rel.
atives; and there are chivalry and va
lor, twin youths who go to the un'
known banquet singing and bearing
their garlands of Joy.
But with the chance of a fight for
life, there is sharp-sweet tang that
sends some spirits galloping to the
contest, "Dauntless the slughorn to
his lips be set" making ready for the
last good run.
When Jim descended the hatchway
after accommodating on deck, Chate-
lard was gone. The ships cook was
rummaging in a sailors kit that he
had drawn from a locker Jim men,
tally considered the situation. The
seamen had no doubt exaggerated tho
calamity, but without question there
was serious trouble. Were the pumps
working? How far were they from
shore? If hopelessly distant from
shore, were they in the course OF
passing steamers? Would any one
look after Miss Redmonds safety?
Monsieur Chatelard had said that she
was not on board, but James did not
believe it.
While these thoughts flew through
his mind, James had been absently
watching while the cook turned his
treasures out upon his bunk, and
paved them over with trembling
hands. There were innumerable little
things besides a stiff white shirt. a
cheap shiny Bible, stuffed parrot
and several wads of clothes. And
among the mess Jim caught sight OF
a piece OF stitched canvas that looked
familiar.
Hi you there! That's my money
beit!" he cried, and jumped forward
to claim his own. But in his move
ment he failed to calculate with the
waves The yacht gave another Of
her deep-sea plunges, and Jimmy,
thrown against his bunk. saw the cook
grab his kit and make for the ladder.
He regained his feet only in time to
follow at arms length up the hatch
way At the top he threw himself
down, like baseball runner making
his base, after the seaman's legs; but
instead of a foot, he found himself
clutching one of the weeds OF
clothes that trailed after the cooks
bundle. He caught It firmly and kept
it, but the ships cook and the rest OF
his booty disappeared like rabbit in
to it's burrow.
Jim sat down at the top Of the lad
der and examined his haul. 1t was a
pair of wooden trousers, and they were
Of generous size. He spread them out
on the deck Round him were unmis-
taxable signs of Generalization. The
second officer was ordering the men to
the pumps in stern tones; the yacht
was pitching wildly and growing dark

turbulent waters. But in spite OF 1t

laughter as he thought of his brief.

Is Tobacco Injurious I?

Much can be said for the use
of tobacco pro and con, but every
little while something like the
following appears in the press.
1t is interesting, if for no other
purpose, than to show what the
physician here and there has to
say on the subject. Unfortun-
ately, the doctors do not agree:
in a recent issue of the Scien-
tifc Monthly a prominent physi-
clan gives the result of his study
of the statistics of smoking in
college. In the examinations
1919 of those who received the
highest marks were non-smokers,
and 70% of those who received
the lowest marks were smokers.
In athletics the non-smokers are
twice as successful as those who
smoke. In every comparison
that was made the evidence ia
vored the abstainers. And yet
many college presidents and pro-
fessors smoke freely among their
students, ignoring any moral
obligation in the matter, just as
the managers of the stock ex'
changes deny moral responsible
ty for the gambling that their
business encourages.

FOLLY

In an address delivered in New
York City, Vice President Mar
shall utters what he meant for,
and what he calls, a note of warn
ing to the rich. 1t is really note
of warning, but it only warns the
people that they should be on
guard against such freak utter
ances as that made by the vice
president. In this speech, which
has been widely circulated but
which seems to have met with no
response from the people, the
vice president indicated that there
was a possibility that the very
rich would be shorn of their right
to leave their property, either by
will or by the laws of descent, to
their children, heirs or devisees.
He urged that the right which
they now have of leaving their
property to their children or de-
vising it by will, was only a legal
right and that, inasmuch as the
law gave them this right, it could
take it away. He intimated that
unless the very rich had a care,
they would find that this right
would be taken from them.
This speech is revolutionary in
character and scarcely above the
point of mediocrity. Some of the
blessings secured us by the gov
eminent is the protection of life,
liberty and property. If the
property of the millionaire can be
taken from him for no other rea-
son than that he is a millionaire,
then the right of property is a
NTH, the constitution is a delu-
sion and the laws made in pursu-
ance thereof, instead of being a
protection to the individual, are
but snares to entrap him.
But the legal point of the vice
president is not well taken. The
government does not own a dol
lar of a mans property and never
did. 1t is his absolutely. 1t is
true that in our country the gov
eminent was the original owner
of all property. But it parted
with its title to the same on
terms that were satisfactory to it.
1t has no more right to take it
from a man merely because he
dies, than it has to take it from
him while he is living. The right
of transmitting property to our
children is a right that is so deep
ly engrafted in our laws and con-
situations, that no one knows
where it commenced, but every
man knows that it is there. 1t
will stay there to. the vice presi-
dent of the United States to the
contrary.
The Democratic party has be-
fore it great opportunity and it
is to be regretted that one of its
leaders has seen fit to be so vio-
lent in his speech. 1t is easier to
muzzle him than it is to bury the
party.
Along this same line of violent
thought, is the bill introduced in
the Senate by Senator Jones, of
Washington. In this bill it is
proposed that all estates of in
heritance of over fifteen millions
be taxed as high as fifty per cent.
This is an inheritance tax pro-
posed in the Senate of the United
States to be levied on the families
of the captains of industry. In
other words, 1t is bill designed
to drive all rich men from the
United States, or at least to drive
away all their property. This
bill falls in the same category to

STOCK TRANSFER
NOT ENOUGH, SAYS
SUPREME COURT
This Is Decision in
Union Pacific Dis
solution Suit.

WASHINGTON. Jan. 6.-The Su-
preme Court today held that the plan
advanced by Union Pacific attorneys
of the disposition of the entire stock
holding of the Union Pacific Rail-
road Company in the Southern Pacific
Company by transfer to the stock
holders of the Union Pacific Com
pany would not so effectually end the
Union Pacific merger as to comply
with its dissolution decree.
Union Pacific attorneys claimed for
the Union Pacific stockholders the
exclusive privilege of taking over the
s126, 600 worth of Southern Pacific
stock, which the Supreme Court
found the Union Pacific Railroad
Company owns in violation of the
Sherman antitrust law.
Attorneys General Wickersham op-
posed any plan that gave the Union
Pacific stockholders an exclusive
privilege of buying the Southern Pa
cific stock in question.
Announcing the decision of the
court, Justice Day said:

stock among the shareholders of the

stock to such shareholders, il grant
