CHAPTER Xii.

Guests wer coming in punches,
now, and kept Hall so busy for half
an hour that he had no time to plan
how he should escape from the other
two women with whom he must in
eyitably have matrimonial converse.
So far, he was not particularly anxious.
Rosamund he thought he could dis
pose of somehow, putting her off till
Flodie should change her mind; and
from Carolyn Dallys and Mrs. Royal
ton he feared little. He would trust,
at any rate, to the inspiration of the
moment. With four millions-and Flo
die-he didn't much care what they
thought Of him. 1t was a caddish trick,
perhaps, but-four millions! The end
would have to justify the means.

who had SO suddenly assumed an ex-
traordinary Importance in his life.
Flodie, merely bowed to and patron
lied by most of the guests, had discoy-
cred an unexpected friend in Mr.. Dore-
mus. He, finding her his only &C.
quaintance, had stuck to her like a
burr. Flodie liked him. At a one-step
he could not cut much of a figure, but
seated in the office with Flodie, where
she could keep an eye on Alfred and
the caterer, it vas not long before she
felt impelled to make him her ally.
With all his elephantine wit and his
manners of the old school, MI. Dore-
mus treated her in a ~jocose, fatherly,
indulgent way that inspired her trust.

give him her confidence, bit by bit,
watching his face more than listening
to his replies, and decided that she
could trust him; he had sympathy and
tact. When, at last, after many inter-
ruptions, her story was told, Mr.. Dore-
mus took off his misty glasses and
wiped them.

can help in this crisis, let me implore
you to tell me how"

MI. Doremus offered her his arm,
and escorted her into the studio.
By eleven o'clock both Carolyn Dali
lys and Mrs. Royalton had come. They
had, in fact, arrived together, having
shared Mrs. Royalton's limousine. This
preconcerted action was caused less
by friendship than a mutual suspicion.
The two ladies' dared not trust each
other out of sight, and each for fear
the other might gain an advantage,
sacrificed her own desire to be be-
forehand with her plans.

FATE OF A PIRATE CREW.
Strange Case of the Nancy Brig and a
Hungry Shark.

In the museum at Kingston, Jamaica,
there are some tattcred ships papers,
brown with age and salt water. and q
small tin canister. These articles at
test the truth of the strangest pirate
story ever told.
In 1850 the crew Of the Nancy brig
were apparently honest traders, but did
some piracy now and then on the side.
One day they found it necessary to 20
into Kingston for supplies. Before do
Ing 50 they naturally removed all
traces Of their Duccnneering trade.
Among other things they threw over
board this tin canister stuffed with pa
pers taken from ships they had sunk,
with comments written on the margin
by the pirate captain.
Later III the day British fr1gate
was bccalmCd near the SPOT, and the
sailors spent their leisure catching
sharks. Presently they hauled up
big fellow, cut him open and found the
tin case with the papers inside. These
were taken to the captain, who. as soon
as Il breeze sprang up. sailed into
Kingston tlarbor found the Nancy brig
there and had the crew tried, convict
eG and hanged in chains at Port Royal.

 PUBLICITY CAMP AlGN
Brotherhoods Sending Out Stamps to Be Used in Fight for the
 Eigllt.IlOur Day.

Organized labor operating through the Labor Center association in Ne" York City, is sending to labor unions throughout the country over 5,00O,Ooo stamps, each meant to carry a special publicity message.
 The stamps are to be affixed to letters after the manner of Red Cross stamps and stamps advertising na- tional eXpositions. Each stamp car ries the slogan. "For the Eight Hour Day--A Movement Nearer to Justice" A portion of the stamps design shows day split into eight-hour periods, one for work, one for sleep and ono for recreation.
 It is the plan to distribute the stamps to all friends of the eight hour movement, whether employers, union members, or sympath1zers. Be- sides sending them out on letters, union members receiving them are asked to paste them on mirrors in the shops, on literature distributed to workmen and on bills and letters that go directly to business men.
 The idea of using the eight-hour stamps in nationwide publicity campaign was worked out after the industrial relations commission. had developed the fact that the Rockefel- Ter interests were paying Ivy Lee $10,000 per year to act as the Rocke- feller press agent. It was suggested that organized labor had concentrat- ed it's energies so completely on wage fights that it had neglected education al opportunities such as organized capital employed with great skill. ! A stamp by the use of which every union members could constitute him self "an Ivy Lee of the labor cause" 1 was the result.
 Children will be asked to paste the stamps on their lesson papers With this note to their school teachers: :: "Teacher, teach us these trutha. | Members of church organizations will be asked to send stamp to their priest or preacher suggesting ser mon: 'Nearer to Justice-the Edght- Hour Day"

Washington, March 3.-A prelimi- nary statement of the general results of the census of manufactures for TeXarkana, Tex, and Ark, has been issued by Director Sam. l.. Rogers, or the. bureau of the census. depart- ment of commerce. It consists of a summary comparing the figures for 1909 and 1914. by totals. prepared un der the direction of William M. Steu- art. chief statistician for manufac- lures.
 The figures are preliminary and subject to such change and correction as may be found necessary from further examination of the original reports.
 The statistics represent the estab- lishments located within the corpor- ate limits of Texarkana, Tex, and Texarkana. Ark.
 Percentages of Increase.
 The total for the two cities shows considerable increase at the census of 1914. as compared with that for 1909, with the exception of proprie- tors and firm members, salaried em- p!oyes, and salaries, which show slight decreases. In the order of their importance, from a percentage standpoint. the increases for the sev- eral items rank as follows: Wages, 44.4 per cent; wage earners, 2S.b per cent; capital, 21.9 per cent; value added by manufacture. 21.6 per cent; value of products, 1S.1 per cent; pri- mary horsepower, 17.3 per cent; and materials, 16.1 per cent.

 tained in the census schedule calls
 for the total amount of capital, both owned and borrowed, invested in the business but excludes the value of rented property. plant. or equipment which was employed in the conduct 1 of manufacturing enterprises. In the final bulletins and reports the rental paid for such property will be shown separately.
