upon the table. Billy Gard stood upon
his chair and drank to the time when
they would all get together again I'M
der the cobwebs that decorated the
ceiling of the little Frenchman. He
led three lusty cheers for that time,
for none was so abandoned on these
occasions as the youngster who had
saved the presidents daughter. And
F1avot and Billy interchanged
wink, for they had a secret between
them. Both knew that the beverage
that the special agent drank with such
recklessness was nothing more than
cold tea, and the little Frenchman de-
lighted in seeing his favorite lead
these American pigs, who knew no de-
cency in drinking, on to complete in
eDriety.
But Gard had a secret from even
Flayot which had to do with a grimy
little man who sat at a nearby table
and who had of late frequented the
place-a seedy, long-haired, sallow
man who worked always with pencil
over the manuscript of a play he was
writing. AS true genius he paid no
attention to what went on around him,
but always pored over his papers.
But this same man in Washington
was star stenographer at the depart
ment of justice, a dapper, one-time
court reporter, the man who had han
died the listening end of many die
tagraph when the ways were being
creased between men in high places
and the penitentiary at Atlanta.

That he might get on a more init.
mate basis with these samplers Gard
went to work as a laborer on the docks,
and there toiled for two months. He
came to be most intimately one of
them, was given every opportunity for
observing their work, was even in
trusted with certain valuable conf
dences when the men were sober and
saw his way toward learning more by
associating with them when they were
in their cups.
His task was but half finished, how
ever, when the maiden with the frizzy
hair and the freckles came near up-
setting the beans. The daughter of
the president of the company had
played through her childhood on the
docks. and about the warehouse and
was not yet averse to climbing stacks
or sugar sacks or descending into the
holds of the ships. So it happened that
she often visited the water front, and
Gard had at first feared he might be
recognized, but this fear wore away
as the visits were repeated and no
attention was paid to him.
But one busy day he was carting
away the sacks of sugar that were be-
ing unloaded in packages of twenty or
so, slung in ropes and lifted by mighty
derricks, when Miss Gottrell strolled
down the docks under a pink parasol
and in the midst of an array of fluffy,
spring ruffies such as make a healthy,
wholesome girl outrival in beauty the
orchids of the most tropically luxuri-
ant Jungle.
The special agent had always liked
corn-colored hair and freclles on the
nose and worshiped at the shrine of
the physically fit. Besides which this
girl had enthusiasm and intelligence
and inspiration. And it was spring
and he was youngster shut off from
his kind and lonesome. He had thought
of her lot of times since that day
he had interested her by pretending
to be something he was not. Now he
rather resented it that she should be
there and he a perspiring laborer, not
daring to speak to her.
And just at that time something
very startling happened. The great
crane of the ship drew another load
of sugar from the hold and swung it
majestically over the dock In doing
so it described great sweep in reach
ing the spot where it was to be de-

Swimming Taught to
Boys in Few Lessons

One Of the most encouraging indica-
tons of the progress made at the play
ground swimming pools Is the report
OF Clinton Thrift. who. for two weeks,

His report shows that Of fourteen boys
In the class, seven qualified as compe-

or the fact that they had had no previ-

Torrance of one boy, Leroy Posey, aged
nfteen. is especially remarkable. After
two lessons he was able to swim in
good time the entire length of the
pool, distance of eight feet.

1t seems that at Elizabethport, the
engine driver, who doesn't realize his

There was a frightful shrek, two
