Shortly after nightfall Tom saw VIII
lard and the man Cornelius board the
launch and go ashore, and he watched
them with a quickened sense of antici
patton.
IF that sleuth is worth a darn" he
reflected, now is his chance to get
word to Flint
He did not witness their return, but
about an hour later he had glimpse
of Cornelius and one OF the other
young men, CARRIED in eoiled and worn
overalls and jumpers, like pair Of
stevedores.
Somewhere around half-past nine,
the coffin-shaped box once more ap-
peared.

possible that he was about to perpe-
trate some appalling disaster. and
that Paige and Jessie had been won

principles he justified his conduct by,
so that they to believed them to be
right and high-minded? With an i'm

hideous as 1t was, was not altogether
impossible.
Willard was himself experimenting
the box's conveyance with such anx-
ious regard and solicitude that Toms
misgivings swept over him again, in
tensitied a hundredfold.
With no clearly defined purpose in
mind, he involuntarily stepped up to
the gangway, as they began to nego-

commodation-steps.
You need more help there, don't

Willard barred his progress with a
suddenly extended arm.
NO. no." he returned quickly

Nevertheless it was with a disduiet-

watched the long box lowered careful
" into the launch, which was immedi-

the current into the darkness before
the motor was started. None of the
crew accompanied 1T on this trip, and

JOHNSON SAYS HE

His Team Hasn't Been Able to

is the Explanation

WASHINGTON, Sept. l6.-walter

ever. In spite Of the fact that his blub
has been losing.
1T Is simply case OF the team NOT
hitting behind the pitchers" said
Johnson. I'VE have been going along
in bad shape. The men we expected
to hit have not hit. Our offense has
been shot to pieces, and the result Is
that the pitchers have been forced to
work themselves TO death. IL Is one
thing to pitch with lead Of q few
runs and quite something else to have
to pitch shut-out ball every time to
win. I don't intend this as o knock
on the players, but II Is the explana-
ton Of why have had q bad year and
why the Washington team Is not up
In the race fighting with the Athletics
at this moment.

KAISER AS BOY SWORE
HE'D HAVE BIG NAVY

LONDON, Sept. 16.-Strange though
the assertion may sound, II Is never
theless literally and absolutely true
that the German navy is the child OF
the British navy.
There are people still living In
Portsmouth who can recall seeing a
little boy in u sailor suit. who, more
than 40 years ago, used 10 wander
about the dockyard. looking at the
ships there with eager curiosity and
asking all sorts OF questions concern
ing them.
This little boy was none other than
the present German emperor, who In
those days was o frequent visitor to
his grandmother, Queen Victoria. at
Osborne. The then newly-created
German empire had at that time prac-
tically no fleet, and the child. old be-
yond his years. was frequently heard
to lament this fact
when I grow up will have ships
built like these" he was once heard
to remark, indicating. with a wave OF
his hand, the stately ironclads NOV
ing In and out Of Spithead. Mean
while, as he himself has told US. he
talked ships by day and dreamed
ships by night; while at home In Ger
many his favorite recreation was TO
sail p beautiful 2G-ton model Of q Brit
ish frigate on the Havel lakes. near
Potsdam.
