 At the state fair all of the products industries and wonderful resources of Arizona are elaborately displayed. This serves to interest farmers. stock men and miners who are interested fn the products. It will induce many out siders to come here and to settle in the youngest state which offers SO many possibilities.

Biny's solemn promise Immediately to place

card. "Here is a name and Geographic

"oaptain" was holding a mixed-ale reception,
the waterfront was comparatively quiet.
The Sally Quirk had been locked that
morning after an exciting trip down the
Sound. Montauk Point had been rounded in
safety, but an unfayorable shift Of the wind
had compelled them to anchor for day of
Groton Long Point.
Earlier in the evening Captain Jerry had
made friends with the night Waterman and
had taken him uptown for friendly glass,
the Captain generously smoothing away all
obstacles by an offer to stand all the expense,
and to have his cabin-boy take the place of the
~atchman during the absence Of the latter

cautioned Billy, taking the Captain aside and
short while later he departed himself after a
few words with Aces.
The Pensacola journal. (Pensacola, Fla.) 1898-1985, 1916-05-07

About haf-past two in the morning, while
laying on and off, awaiting the appearance of
the FiVe Brothers, Captain Jerry, who had
taken his place in the foretop, suddenly called
down:
"Put your wheel down couple of spokes,
l think see her.
The Sally Qairk, obedient to the helm,
swerved from her course and came up closer
to the wind. Billy, looking intently ahead,
could see nothing at first; but after the
schooner had eaten her way another half
mile to windward he made out the outlines
of vessel bearing down on them which
carried no lights.
Runningfeely before the wind, the stranger
approached closer and closer until she swept
by the Sally Qairk less than cables length
distant AS she passed the quarter of the
little schooner, a brief command was given,
sheets were hauled in, she came around on
the port tack, and sailing two feet to the
smaller vessels one, the stranger, close
hauled to the wind, rapidly overhauIed the
smaller craft until they were sailing abreast
of each other.
Halls were exchanged; the schooners luffed
up; jibs and foresails were dropped; dory
put off from the Fi0e Brothers, an active figure
sprang into the chains of the Sally Oniyk,
mounted to the top of the deck-load, and
silently grasped the hands of the delighted
Billy Joyce.
Nov, boys, there's no time for ceremony, y
briskly remarked Captain Mcbride, the brief
introduction over "Get those extra lights
down and your main-hatch off. Once you get
the goods aboard, beat it around Montauk
Point before daybreak, and get down the
Sound as quickly as possible Keep the goods
quiet at the New York end, watch the New
York Herald for my next sailing from St.
John, and you can figure the rest out for
yourselves"
Two dories manned by stout Nova-Scotians
piled back and forth. The yellow cargo was
quickly transferred to the Sally Quirk with
but one slight mishap. A sleepy Celestial
missed his footing and fell into the water
with splash; but Captain Jerry, who had
been standing by with a boat-hook, fshed
the Chinaman out and led him to the main
hatch none the worse for his salt bath.
The last bit of human freight aboard
Captain Pete descended from the maintop
where he had been keeping lookout, passed
his night-glasses to the man in the dory wait
ing at the rail, and with quick handshake
all around, dropped into his boat.
Soon afterward, the Sally Qairk disap-
peared in the darkness in the direction of the
flashing light on Montauk Point

Midnight had passed by, the policeman had
come and gone after turning in his hourly call
from the box across the way, when closed
carriage pulled up at the head of the pier
The driver got down, opened the carriage
door next to the pier, and then approached
Aces, who was not surprised to recognize
Billy Joyce, minus his spectacles, and clad in
the conventional garb of city cabby.
The cop shows up here on the even hour"
Aces informed him, he isn't due here again
until one, and he doesn't show up around here
between calls"
You know the tune Of Way Down upon
the Suwanee, don't your" questioned Billy.
Aces laughingly nodded his head afirma-
lively.
Gan right" returned Billy, I'm goin' to

You go down to the schooner and get of half

time and bring 'em quietly down the pier TO

Everything went smoothly. Billy made
four trips between Pier a8 and an alley in the
rear of a Pell Street restaurant where numer-
Gus lookouts had been posted by Chinese
friends Of the cause.
About five O'Clock in the morning another
carriage drove up to the pier, and out tum-

Billy showed up at six O'Clock; the day
Waterman came on at seven and delightedly
received sealed quart of whisky from his
groggy colleague; the last stick of wood was

Billy Joyce was seated in the cafe of the
Knickerbocker Hotel with gin rickey at his
elbow. He was well provided with money;
had found quiet faro game on one of the
side streets, which was open from sunset to
sunrise, and had been exceedingly lucky al
his favorite game. 1t was now several hours
after sunset, and yet he was unhappy II
was warm evening in August, and Billy
sat with frown on his face, mentally review
ing the stirring events of the previous five
months.
The big job had been completed without
hitch, and the last few trips had been pos
idvely monotonous.
On one or two occasions, foul weather OF
adverse winds had hampered Captain Pete,
and at these crises the strain of waiting for the
wireless signal threatened to wear out the
loyal Aces. Captain Pete brought sailing
master with him on the last trip of the FiUc
Brothers, and sending the larger schooner to
sea under her new master, he came to the city
