SAILOR "CAME BACK"
ROMANCE OF THE SEA AS RE-
LATED BY THE WRITER
Cupid Triumphed in the End. Despite
Effort of Father to Separate His
Daughter From the Man
She Loved.

Some 80 years ago sailed with
brigantine hailing from New Eng
land town. The skipper had an eight
een-year-old daughter, his only child,
on board, his wife being dead.
The girl became friendly with one
of our ordinary seamen about twenty
years old, clean-cut chap, who al
ready had his masters papers. One
night when the young fellow was at
the wheel. the skipper came on deck
and found his daughter standing
alongside of him, with her arm around
his neck. The skipper became angry,
hit the boy. and sent him forward. and
would not alloy. him to come aft
again, although the girl told him she
was engaged to the boy.
Now began a trying time for the
boy. One day the young fellow, goad-
ed to desperation, defended himself
when the skipper struck him. This
was committing an objectionable act,
as skipper has almost unlimited
| power on his own vessel.
The boy was put into irons and
when we arrived at Rio Janeiro, our
destination, the harbor police took
him to shore. must state, to the
shippers credit, that he did not prose

We had loaded pitch pine in Bruins

were caught il storm. The vessel
rolled awfully, the cargo chafed back
and forth and we soon knew that we
had fire in the hold. We took off the
main hatch to try and put out the fire
but as soon as we got it open the flames
burst out, and we had to take to the
boats.
This happened at night. The yes

was no more left of her We stood
by her, thinking the flames would

side wall was a hat rack with branch
ing pegs, from which several coats
were hanging. She slipped quietly be-
hind their shelter.
A moment or two later she heard
the professor leave the house. Very
cautiously she stole out from her hid
ing place. The hall was empty. She
crossed it with noiseless footsteps,
slipped into the study and moved
stealthily to the fireplace. There was
little heap of ashes in one distinct
spot She gathered them up in her
handkerchief and secreted it in her
dress and quietly left the house.
At Georgia square she found Laura
waiting for her, and few minutes af-
terward the two girls were examining
the ashes with the aid of Quests mi
croscope Among the little pile was

"Come round and see me in the
Tombs, one Of you"
The ambulance men came and de-
parted with their grim burden, the
room on the ground floor was locked
and sealed, and the house was soon
empty except for the two girls. To.
ward three o'clock Lenora went out
and returned with a newspaper. She
opened 1t out upon the table and they
both pored over 1t.

slider bail!' He's a guy, that Justice
Thorpe, and SOS the idiot who wrote
this stuff" Laura exclaimed, thrust
ing the paper away from her. Il
guess the professor was dead right
when he told French he was locking
up the one man who could clear up
the whole show"
Lenora nodded thoughtfully.
"The professor spoke up like a
man." she agreed, 'but Laura, want
to ask you something. Did you notice
his servant-that man Craig?"
Cant say did particularly" Laura
admitted.

Laura adjusted the mirror to the in

professor himself answered the call.

edition, professor" Lenora asked.
Il never read newspapers, youn,
lady," the professor replied.

from my own point of view, would be

moved cautiously toward the window
His expression suddenly changed. He
glanced suddenly downward, frowned
slightly

He darted into his room and reap

professor gave a gasp of astonish-
ment at his altered appearance. His
tweed suit seemed to have been turned

and it was buttoned up TO his neck. He
wore a long white apron; peaked
cap and a chinpiece of astonishing

New Names for Old Initials.

British soldiers at the front are ap-
plying new significations to old initials
For instance, the R. F. A.-Royal field
artillery-is being called the Ready for
Anything. The men of King Edward s
Horse say that K. E. H. means Kill
Every Hun
The unkindest Interpretation is that
put upon the letters R. A. M. C.-Roy-
al army medical corps. Some wounded
soldiers have complained of missing
belongings after their things have
passed into the keeping of the r. A.
M. c., so they declare the initials
really now stand for Rob All My Com
rades.

one side, but they amt enough evi-
dence. Lenora's idea is that you
should get hold of Craig and hypnotic
him into confession"
That's all right" Quest replied,
'but how am to get hold of him?''
Laura glanced once more carelessly
around to where the guard stood.
"Lenoras gone up to the professors
again this afternoon. She is going to
try and get hold of Craig and lock him
in the garage. If she succeeds, she
will send a message by wireless at
three o'clock. 1t is half-past two
now"
''Well?" Quest exclaimed "Wen?"
"You can work this guard, if you
want to-" Lenora went on. 81 have
seen you tackle worse cases. He seems
dead easy. Then let me in the cell,
take my clothes and leave me here. !"
Quest followed the scheme in his
mind quickly.
'It is all right" he decided, "but
am not at all sure that they can really
hold me on the evidence they have
got. If they can't, shall be doing my
self more harm than good in this
way"
It's no use unless you can get hold
of Craig quickly" Laura said. ''He is
getting the scares, as it is"
"I'll do it." Quest decided Call the
guard, Laura"
She obeyed. The man came good
naturedly toward them.
Quest looked at him steadfastly
through the bars.
'T want you to come inside for a
moment" Quest repeated softly. "Un-
look the door, please, take the key cff
your bunch and come inside"
The man hesitated, but all the time
his fingers were fumbling with the
keys. Quests lips continued to move

How Much Radium?

Efforts to determine the amount of
radium in the ocean have been few.
Prof. S. J. Lloyd of the University
of Alabama finds that about thirty
samples of sea water have been test
ed, taken from the Irish and English
coasts, the North and South Atlantic,
the Mediterranean, the Black sea, the
Arabian sea, and in his own deter
mination from the Gulf of Mexico 200
miles south of Mobile. Discarding ex-
treme results, with maximum SO
times greater than the minimum, it is
concluded that the total radium in
the sea somewhat exceeds 1,400 tons.
AS rivers contain little, it is assumed
that this supply comes from uranium
in the sea, which must reach a total of
nearly 4,2OO,OoO,OOO tons, making ura-
MUM in sea-water comparable in guam.
