How to Carry a Suitcase.

Travellers will be interested to learn
how to carry suitcase or valise a
long distance without becoming ia
tigued. A French savant, reasoning
that the tired feeling is induced by
the fact that the action of carrying
such an object binders the movement
of the legs, makes a suggestion that is
said to work like a charm. The
Frenchman's way to prevent the in
convenience is to put under the arm
a bulky packet made of a dozen news
papers folded. The handbag, In this
way, is far removed from the legs, al
lowing walking without ,hindrance.

~Just for that svfl grin Of yours. Mr..
Pirate" thought Harry. II am not going
to let you or your friend shoot me until
after daylight" So Harry kept his port
hole closed tight that night. sleeping
rather restlessly without his accustomed
ventilation. But he had the satisfaction
of knowing that others were spending an
anxious night on the deck above.
Twice he heard . faint scraping sound
on the outside of his cabin, and dark
shadow eclipsed the faint nimbus Of light
which the foggy night sent through his
portfolio. On the deck directly over his
head three dark figures sat in deck chairs.
while fourth paced the deck, his cigar
glowing like the tail lamp OF 4 distant

and the stoker. making another trip down
his rope, found the portfolio open. A
hasty inspection Of the decks indicated
that 1t was safe to go ahead.

went the stoker, his bare feet clinging e
the gently swaying side Of the ship.
The portfolio was open. and there In the
dim interior Of the cabin tho light was
reflected from pair Of spectacles. There

Owen protested. At last It was decided
that . fourth man was necessary to. do
the shooting. and the pirate" volunteered
to.produce him.

owen and Hicks went on deck while
Boyd descended to the fiery vitals of the
steamer. It is not an easy matter to
smuggie grfmy stoker from his furnace
to the upper passenger decks, but the
pirate" managed it.
Meanwhile the old man was not losing
time. He had taken . dictagraph from
his baggage. borrowed few dry batteries
and q coil of wire from the wireless
operator. He carefully installed the in
strument in his stateroom. and led the
wires out under his door to the passage
way. From there It was an easy task to
carry them along the edge of the carpet
to the door of Owens stateroom. Arrived
at the point, he was compelled to leave
pliers, wire and the receiving instrument
under q chair.
Like many another stateroom door,
Overs could not be locked easily from
the outside. So when the three conspirators
went ont they left it unlocked. The old
man slipped in a moment later and quickly
placed the dfctagraph under the lower
bunk.
Returning to his own room. the old
man took up his instrument and listened.
But he was not very expert electrician
and the dictagraph for long time failed
to give anything but roarS and crack
ling sounds, though he was convinced
1ere were several persons talking At
last he got the thing adjusted In time to
catch the last sentences of the CONVEX
sation. He recognized the voice Of the
pirate" It said:

After this the dictagraph got out Of
order or the speakers left the room. al
nothing further came over the wire.
After closing the portfolio Harry started
to take off his disguise with . view OF re-
vealing himself and having Owen. Hicks
Cured to him that he had not heard
Owen or Hicks talking and very likely
they were not in the room at all.

While Pauline examined reverently the

Pauline looked at Owen and Hicks, who
nodded approvingly. She had no great
faith in finding any gold. Old Mr. Marvin
mad said that treasure hunts rarely pro-
duce any results. But he had also re-
marked that they were very thrilling, ud

little time and money. Pauline agreed,

than to have gotten these two happy

Pauline. too. wished to have the handsome
youth who stood frowning and suspiciously
demanding information. But she had
sworn the oath of q buccaneer, and far be
1t from her to break faith with the confid-
ing freebooter.
So. once more Harry was kept out of
Pauline's councils. He was a little pro-
voked at her this time, for her willfulness
seemed almost perverse after the lesson
she should have learned from the aero
plane wreck.
Excitement and activity pervaded the

was to take Tuesdays steamer to Old Mas

quietly board the steamer q little earlier

His plans were shattered by the young
lady's unexpected "early arrival" Harry,
with a suitcase in each hand, met her face

for him to do but confess, kiss her goodby
and go. It was with pang of regret that
she saw him toss his two suitcases covered

housewife is a completed chest of sill

are governed by that. You can pur-

WATCH REPAIRS.

The secret of first-class repairs lies
in a complete line of material. The
best workman cannot do the work
which will give satisfaction without
his stock of material is complete. 1t
takes years to get that line in its
complete condition. The secret of
precision in your watch is the perfect
fit and perfect finish of the material,
combined with perfect adjust
ments.
The workman who has not at his
disposal the proper material will
substitute or attempt to make the
material. He makes a mistake in
either instance. 1t is impossible to
get the fit, finish or temper which is
best for that special material. Ad-
ans Jewelry Store has a complete
stock and knows how to handle the
job Good work cannot be done for
less than we charge.

NO MARKET FOR COTTON
TRADING IN STAPLE AT STAND.
STILL ON ACCOUNT OF WAR.
Many New Bales Have Been Brought
IN, But Only Few of Them
Have Been Sold

aNO DCCn sou.
The war between the European
powers has had a decidedly depress-
ing effect on the cotton market, and
the result is that there is no demand
for the staple and it cannot be sold
at anything like it's worth.
The New York and Liverpool ex-
changes have been closed for nearly
two weeks and no quotations for
either future or spot cotton have
been given.
The Dawson warehouses have re-
ceived IS bales of new cotton. but
scarcely any of it has been sold. as
the buyers are not in the market and
will not offer anything like it's value.
Two or three bales have been dis
posed of at ten cents, but as a gen.
eral thing the owners will not con-
slider that price.
How long this state of affairs will
last no one can tell, but it is to be
hoped that some way will soon be
provided whereby the crop can be
marketed without loss to the grow
ers.
