exceptionally striking variation Of what
his seagoine experience had taught him
to term a smoky sou'weeter.
That hour found him on the verge Of
the admission that he was, as he would
have said, about all in-the limit Of en-
durance nearly approached. He was
kalf-dazed with fatigue-his wet skin
crawled with goose-nDh., his flesh itself
was cold as stone.
In the pit of his stomach lurked an
emptiness. His throat was sore and
parched. his limbs stiff and aching, his
face crusted with singing particles Of
salt. lis eyes red, sore and smarting.
II his ankle troubled him. he was not
aware Of It. 1t would need sharp
agony to penetrate the aura Of dull.
interminable misery that surrounded
his consciousness
With all this he tormented himself
with worry lest the tanks run dry.
Though they had been filled only the
da ybefore, he had no clear notion Of
the horsepower Of the motor or :ts
hourly consumption Of gasolene. and
the drain upon the supply could not
have been anything but extraordinary

find himself in ticklish straits. But this
troubled him less than the fear that he
might be obliged to give up the chase
to which he had stuck SO long and with
q pertinacity which somewhat surprised
even his own wonder
The Washington times., 1913-03-07

And to give up now, when he had
fought SO farIt was an intolerable
thought. He protested against It with
q vain, bitter violence, void Of any per-
sonal feeling. Of any pride Of purpose
and endurance.
1t was his solicitude for the woman
alone that raoked him. Whatever the
enigmatic animus responsible for this
outrage, It seemed most undeniable that
none but men of the most desperate
caliber would have undertaken it-men
in whose sight no crime would be
abominable, however hideous. To con-
template her fate. II abandoned to their
mercies-
The end came just before dawn, with
a swiftness that stunned the faculties

Tho harsh, shapeless light Of imrni-
nent day alone manufactured a color
Of difference. Whitaker now was able
to see as two dark shapes the men In
the body Of the leading boat. The wom-
an was not visible. but the doors to the
cabin were closed. confirming his sur
mise that she at least had been shell
tered through the night. One OF the
men was standing by the wheel, for
ward, staring ahead.
The other occupied seat in the cock
pit. head and shoulders only visible
above the coaming. For the most part,
he seemed sunk in lethargv head fallen
forward with chin on chest. But now
and then he looked up and back at the
pursuing boat. his face a featureless
patch OF bleached pink in the prevailing
grayness.

EASTER VACATION
NEXT IN SCHOOLS
Pupils Look Forward to the
Next Respite From Study
Before Term Ends.

With vacation due to the inaugural
over, q considerable number of school
children of the District now have their
thoughts turned on Easter HOLIDAYS
These will begin with Good Friday,
March q, now only two weeks away
The week following Easter is included
In the grant of freedom from school
While the Board of Education will
have a meeting before the holidays 1t
will not be necessary to act on this
cessation Of school. The rules of the
board provide that Easter vacation
shall begin at the end Of school ses-
sions on the Thursday before Good Fri
day and continue through Easter week
Not for a long time have the District
schools seen as many things tending
to interrupt work. Before the inaug-
ural excitement which, with the suf-
frage parade. famed the minds of chill
dren, as well as adults, into excite
ment came the convention Of the Ma
tional Education Association in Phila-
sdelphia, which took away many teach
ers.
The marching of the teachers sec
ton in the suffrage parade has elected
much comment. When the crowds on
the Avenue permitted marching at all,
the school teachers marched, II is de-
clared with the most even files and the
best ewing of any section. This was
true because of the daily practice which
these women have in rhythmical march,
ing and exercises with their school
children.

Whitaker could force his wits to COM

transfixed upon some submerged rock
or reef.
A long. eray roller swept upon and
over her. brimming her cockpit with
foaming water. As 1t passed, he saw
the half-drowned men release the coam-

cabin. and with one accord abandon
themselves to the will of the next fol-

MANY PULL WIRES
FOR MRS. W|CKL|FF[
Candidacy Of Louisiana Woman
for Child Bureau Head
Stirs Up Big Fight.

The candidacy Of Mrs. Robert c.
wickliffe, widow Of Congressman Wick
life of Louisiana. for appointment as
chief Of the Children's Bureau. In place
of Miss Julia C. Lathrop, Of Chicago,
the present incumbent, has~brought to
the White House large number Of let
ters and kilograms, some In her favor
and. some opposing any change in the
head Of the bureau.
Although the communications are
being addressed to tine White House,
the first stages Of the fight must be
fought in the Department Of Labor.
Although the Children's Bureau is
unique, in that it is headed by "a
woman, 1t will not escape the general
rule that appointments are to be ham
died through the heads Of departments.
Mrs. Wickline Is one of the most
prominent Of Democratic women, and is
in a position to swing to her support
many wives of influential Coneressmen.
Despite the protests against change
in the bureau head, 1t is believed that
Miss Lathrop may encounter difficulty
in retaining her present position many
months.

GIRL TRAPPED
NITHESCORT4
DAYS IN 4 CAVE
Near Death When Rescued From
Adventurous Visit to New Jer-
sey's "WaiIing Women"

NEW YORK, Sept 2T.-From the
Cave Of the Waiting Woman of
Waushaw Mountains, near Towaco
n. J., yesterday John Van Ness and
Willard Doremus-farmer boys who
had climbed through the scrub and
tangled briers in search of stray cows
rescued Miss Esther Schonberg and
Benjamin Handlemann, who had been
prisoners. without food and water, In
the weird pocket since Tuesday morn
ing.
Both Handlemann and Miss schon-
berg were nearly unconscious. Neither
had had the strength to assist in their
rescue. An occasional weak, pitifuI
cry was all that their strength per
mitted.
Girls Hair Turns Gray.
Miss Schonberg's hair, black as
shoe when the spirit of adventure
1rew her into the cave Tuesday, had
burned ashen gray. Hysteria had pos
sessed her, and the horror of her ad-
venture had bereft her temporarily Of
reason.
Handlemann, his hands and legs torn
In his futile attempts to climb tho
scraggy walls of the cave, had just
strength enough to slip around the
body of his companion the rope which
Van Ness and Doremus lowered from
above. He was not able to assist
himself.
Tales of Fabulous Wealth.
Years ago prospectors discovered
gold quartz in Waushaw Mountain.
Money was r-ised and machinery
bought. Wild tales of wealth went
broadcast. Prosperous farmers sold
their fields. and the lure OF gold be-
gan to spread its wonted desolation
over North Jersey
The alarm was false. The rugged
old mountain produced hardly enough
gold to pay the railroad fares of the
maddened men who fought for claims.
But there was left a cave and a
tunnel where the men had dug and
fought. Twelve feet deep, the cave
was dug vertically from the face OF
table rock halfwa up the noun
tain side. The opening is less than
five feet wide. Into this hole the
winds rattle in their whistling jour
ney through the pines. And back
into the tunnel the wind rushes to
make a wild call that starts in a
trembling falsetto and ends In a mez-
20 moan.
Thus came the "Wailing Woman"
to the mountain. Tourists are intro
duced toaher in the daytime. The al
venture comnrises taking a rope lad
der to the cave bottom. But 1t is a
fearsome task, and few visit her.
Secret Visit to Cave.
Miss Schonberg and Handlemann
have been living at the home II
Abram Swaranski in Towaco. Last
Tuesday they made a secret pact to
visit the "Wailing Woman" and ask
her why she moaned.
The moan met them as they as
cended. Miss Schonberg declared that
II was the cry of real woman and
that the winds were not to blame.
Miss Schonberg descended the ladder
in safety. Handlemann followed hsc,
And as he did the rope parted.

Peaches to be Shipped
By the Parcel Post
Fruit Growers VIII Take Advantage
Of System to Cut Freight
Expense.

CHICAGO, Sept. 37.-n is a short
cut that the fruit growers Of Colorado
are now proposing in the shipment Of
their commodity, and again it is the
railroads that bear the burden. The
fruit growers are taking advantage of
the new parcel post regulations. Thew
will reduce the ordinary box of
peaches from its present weight Of %
pounds to 30 pounds to come within
the law, and then will turn 1t over to
the Postoffice Department.
The same railroad will carry 1t as
heretofore, but will get less money,
or, perhaps, you could say will get 10
money at all.

Washington D. c.. Sept. 1.-As a re-

This change will be against the

high as the tax in other countries. but

control the situation and force the
adoption of some of the radical amend

It is expected that the caucus late to-
