PROLOGUE.

The action Of the story has its real
beginning on an ocean liner bound for
Europe and just leaving New York. 1t
has been boarded in haste on a winter
day by Overton Brill, a wealthy young
bachelor, who, attracted by Il pretty
girl accompanied by an elderly gentle
man, has followed them aboard. Brill
was on his way uptown with Aristides
Stebbins, his valet, known as Jay,
when lie saw the girl, just after pur-
chasing a valuable bracelet as a gift
for a Miss Carstairs. The passenger
list reveals the names of the pursued
as Mr.. Andrew Jennison and daughter.
Brill finds himself without money and
negotiates with a dark individual
named Benedict for the sale Of the
bracelet, receiving $500 for it, with
which he secures Il de luxe cabin. At
dinner the conversation turns to the
weather, and Il Professor Penny
thorpe's storm prediction is placed be-
fore Captain HUMPHREYS for Judgment.
Brill makes the acquaintance of MI.
Jennison, and the two proceed to the
captains cabin to inspect Il phenom-
email, wonderfully trained canary. At
luncheon a jovial person, christopher
c. Marsh, introduces himself to Brill.
Starting from a sound sleep Brill hears
through the window Benedict, the pro-
fessor and Jennison discussing the
large shipment Of gold aboard. Soon
after this he is rewarded by a smile
from Marion Jennison for a small
courtesy. lcebergs and fog are report
becomes sick. Professor Pennythorpe
observes that the ship is off its course.
Marsh notices that the captain hasn't
been at the dinner table for several
days. Brill meets Marsh on deck.
Hearing a noise in a supposedly unoc-
cupied stateroom, they investigate with
the captain, but find nothing. The al
tered course of the vessel frightens the
passengers, who protest. Brill and
Marsh look to Jay to assiS5 in a secret
search Of the mysterious stateroom.
\ wireless reports that Russia has de-
clared war against Great Britain.
Marsh suspects Benedict Of having
manufactured the message. Professor
Pennythorpe armed with a marine
glass watches a strange craft approach
astern. At the Christmas feast Brill
becomes Jealous of Benedict's atten-
lions to Miss Jennison. Marsh. still
suspicious, continues his Investigations
of the mysterious noises. Another war
notice is posted up. Jennison confides
to Brill that $4,000 900 in gold is be-
ing shipped to Russia secretly. Jen-
nison wires his partner for instruc-
lions and is told to transfer the gold
to a Russian ship. Marsh and Brill sus-
pect that the dispatches We're tempered
with. The two visit the captain, but
quickly leave on Brill seeing a note
addressed to the captain from Bene-
dict, which suspicion that the
captain is in league with the con-
spirators. Brill tells Miss Jennison
about himself. Brill is accused Of theft
and is ordered to remain in his cabin
a prisoner. The jailer is bribed, and
Brill goes to Marsh's room, from which
it is intended to reach the room of
mystery. Marsh goes to reconnoiter.

FEDERAL COMMISSION HEARING

Oklahoma and Texas, with their
broad acres OF fertile. virgin soil,
with nigh prices prevailing for all
farm products, are so situated that
there Is no good reason why any
citizen Of these states should be in
such dire distress from poverty as
have been outlined in the hearings
before the federal commission on in
dustrial relations.
People who read these reports VIII
understand that extreme cases have
been taken, and there are extreme
cases OF poverty in every state and
in the cities and on the farms of
every state. Human nature is about
the same everywhere and conditions
for money making are largely the
same everywhere. Some men sue
ceed and some fail in all ages. in
all climes and under all conditions.
The difference is in men,-not in
conditions.
Some OF the papers OF the south
have taken advantage OF the occas-
ion TO portray the stories Of poverty
related at this hearing as warn
ing TO tenant farmers of Arkansas,
Tennessee and Mississippi not to
move to Texas or Oklahoma. That
advice is not hurtful to these two
states. We have a plentiful supply
Of tenant farmers. There is plenty
Of room here for the man who is
able to invest little money in land
and there Is room for the man who
wants TO till the soil of another man
If he has tools and plenty of stock.
Conditions here are not worse
than in other southern states. Men
are not more avaricious here than
in any other state. Farmers have not
been exploited here more than in
other states. There have always
been few men who have taken ad-
vantage of the necessities of other
men to profit out of their misfor-
tunes. but wealth which comes that
way poisons the man who gets It, and
makes poor the community in which
the crime is committed. The poison
reaches out and hurts all
Every man who has given any
thought to rural life in the south
knows of these extreme cases OF pow
crty. The government already knows
of them through the offices of its
demonstration farm agents. What we.
are most concerned in is not that
poverty exists but in the application
of remedy. The hearings will do
good In that they will lead govern
ment experts TO work out a means
of curing much of the poverty. In
the majority of cases of extreme
poverty the commission will observe
the lack of hope, and based upon
lack of hope is lack of aspiration,
coupled with lack of industry. Iazi-
ness, no matter from what source IL
may come. is vice. II robs the
community, il robs the family of the
