he declared, "and pretty quick, too.
She'll be starting from somewhere
about number twenty-eight dock, q
long way down. Come along, gentle
men,"
They hurried out to the automobile
and started off for the docks. The
latter part of their journey was &C
complished under difficulties, for the
street was packed with drays and
heavy vehicles. They reached dock
number twenty-eight at last, how
ever, and hurried through the shed
on to the wharf There were no signs
of a steamer there
Where's the Durham?" Quest
asked one of the carriers, who was just
getting his team together.
The man pointed out to tho middle
of river, where a small steamer was
lying.
There she is" he replied. She'll
be off in a few minutes. You'll hear
the sirens directly when they begin
to move down.
Quest led the way quickly to the
edge of the wharf. There was a
small tug there, the crew of which
were just making her fast for the
night
Fifty dollars if you'll take us out
to the Durham and catch her before
she Sails" Quest shouted to the man
who seemed to be the captain.
They clambered down the iron lad
der and jumped on to the deck of the
tug. The captain seized the wheel.
The two men who formed the crew
took Off their coats and waistcoats.
"Give it to her, Jim," the former or
dered. "Now then, here goes! Wen
just miss the ferry"
They swung around and commenced
their journey. Quest stood with his
watch in his hand. They were getting
up the anchor Of the Durham and
from higher up the river came the
screecn of steamers beginning to
move on their outward way.

tain assured them.
They were within a hundred yards
of the Durham when Quest gave lit
tie exclamation. From the other side
of the steamer another tug shot out
away, turning back towards New
York Huddled up in the stern, half
concealed in a tarpaulin, was man
in plain black suit. Quest, with
little shout, recognized the man at
the helm from his long, brown beard.
That's one of those fellows who
was in the truck" he declared, land
that's Craig in the stern! We've got
him this time. Say, captain, it's that
tug I want. Never mind about the
steamer. Catch. it and I'll make 1t
hundred dollars!"
We've got her!" he captain ex-
claimed. There's the ferry and the
first of the steamers coming down in
the middle. They'll have to chuck it.
Right ahead of them, blazing with
lights, huge ferry came churning
the river up and sending waves in
their direction. On the other side,

Quest set his teeth and gripped the

empty. Already, half a mile down

and her siren shrieking, the DurhaR

in Professor Ashleigh's garden he has
seen anthropoid ape skeleton and liv-

appeared from nowhere black boxes, one
containing diamonds torn from a lovely

hands, both with sarcastic. threatening
notes signed by the inscrutable hands. He
is arrested for the murder of his valet,
Ross Brown, and a Miss Quigg, in his

hands, but is rescued. Quest clears him

questioned them carefully. 1t seems
that after they had picked up the ball,
a man came out Of the side entrance
of the house, saw them reading Miss
Lenora's message, and shouted after
them. The boys had sense enough
to scoot. The man ran after them,
but had to give it up. Here is their

MADE A MATTER OF BARTER
John Wanted Contract to Be Explicit
as to the Ownership Of Those
Trousers

A village clergyman in England,
walking round his parish, met an old
parishioner. "Well, john" he said,

church for several SundaysT "Haint
got no Sunday trousers answered
John. WELL" said the clergyman,
Il think we can remedy that. have
a pair at home which will just about
fit you, and will have them sent to
you today. Thanked" said John.
The trousers were duly sent, and the
following three Sundays John was
seen at church. Then, after being
absent for some time, the clergyman
again met him. well, John," he
said, you have no excuse for not
coming to church lately. How is 1t

TEACHING CHILDREN T0 TALK
Comparatively an Easy Matter to Get
Them to Use the Rlght Words in
Right Place.

We teach our children to eat nicely,
to walk gracefully, and to dress them
selves neatly, and all the rest of it.,
but very few of US take the trouble to
teach them how to talk in an interest
ing way, though the art of entertain
ing conversation is as valuable al
art as one can possess, says the Cam
den Daily Courier.
If you listen to the ordinary gossip
in an average family you will notice
that the children use the same set
of words again and again. They have
half a dozen adjectives with which
they sprinkle their conversation and
they help out their lack Of expression
by such tags as "Oh, well, you know
what l mean," or 1T was sort OF
what-do-you-call-it" and SO oa.
1t is a pity to allow such slovenly
habits of speech to be formed. Even
when the accent and grammar are
quite good, the children's speech is
often very uninteresting just because
OF the thoughtless style of expression
used.
When glaringly unsuitable word is
used take a chance of speaking about
it and suggesting better one. There
will be no need to nag at the chill
dren on such points as these. They
will be only too glad to learn, if they
have the chance, for most little ones
are instinctively attracted by the mere
sound of fine words.

Keep schoolroom Ventilated.

More woman patients, three to one,
are sent to hospitals than men. This
comes in large degree from the fact
that women live indoors and breathe
a dust-laden, secondhand atmosphere
If this is true of housekeepers, how
doubly true it is of school teachers!
Teachers suffer from brain fag, not
because teaching itself is depicting,
but because the average schoolroon
is badly ventilated.

THE TALE OF THE WORM.

History reeounts In amplihed form
the tale Of the apple.
World records attest the excellence
of the Oregon apple and the homage
that 1t commands in every cline.
Statistics refer to the prosperity of
the apple farmer in good years.
But their is a worm in the Oregon
ointment.
With the great Northwest States Of
Washington and Oregon contending
to the last ditch for the apple su-
premacy Of the world at the Panama
Pacific International Exposition at
San FRANCISCO and the committee
ready to award the prize to Oregon,
the last apple in the bottom Of the
heap containing about a million ap-
pies happened to contain worm.
1t may have been the same worm
that Is said to have been roaming
around the Garden of Eden.
1t was bad worm.
1t stuck up its head just as a Judge
was closing his clasp knife and re-
turning 1t to his pocket But 1t did
the BUSINESS.
One measely little worm gave
Washington the championship Of the
world in growing apples.
Oregon congratulates Washington,
and reserves the right to provide its
apple packers with spectacles.-
