MzcBeard Finds His Destiny
He gazed at il still hypnotized; he
was trying to fight-his way back into
consciousness. For 8 few moments
he did not know where he was, or
what was happening.
Then, gradually, he began TO be
aware Of his surroundings he saw
the body at his feet, and the high cliffs
about him. And in the distance he saw
C1outs and Davies running toward the
motorbOat.
Ida stood watching Donald She

found that he could start his engine
His hand was on hers. Davies and
Clouts were fifty PAGES away

The girl shuddered. and suddenly
she leaped into the boat. MacBeard
threw himself against the gunwale and
pushed 1t into deep water. He sprang
aboard He was twenty PAGES from
the shore when his pursuers arrived
at the water line. Davies whipped out
his revolver.
MacBeard crouched behind Ida. and
raised her body before him for a
shield The girl knew nothing of this
maneuver, for she had tainted.

MacBeard, trembling, covered be

out behind her, he guided the little

Davies let his revolver hand fall He
knew that at that distance it was i'm

OF shooting Ida.

Bermuda Potato cron.

It is estimated that the Triumph or
fall crop Of potatoes which will be
reaped in Bermuda Will be g. 500
bushels, according to Vice Consul Still
man W. Ellis, Hamilton. This is less
by 5000 bushels than the fall crop of
1915, In spite of the fact that more
acreage was planted to potatoes the
past year. The reason given for this
by the director Of agriculture is that
sthe earlier paintings have been at
fected by Unfavorable seasons and VIII
not produce a normal crop. The fields
planted later give promise Of good
yields"

THEFT IS CHECKED
insurance Embargoes on South
American Shipments.
PIIfering Formerly Was Credited to
the Canal Zone but Has Been Re-
duced to Minimum.

Pilfering is still great problem in
the case of merchandise shipped TO
ports on the west coast of South Amer
lea AT several ports the extent of the
evil has been greatly Iessened as a re-
suit Of insurance embargOes on goods
destined for those ports or in response
to constant complaint on the part of
the cOnsignees, according TO Commerce
Reports. In MOllendO pilfering, so far
as Bolivian goods are concerned, has
been reduced to small proportions IL
consequence of an agreement between
the Peruvian and Bolivian govern
mentS which provides for the prOmpter
dispatch of merchandise for Bolivian
destination. Nevertheless. the prob
lem of pilfering remains a serious one
at practically every port on the west
coast.
Formerly it was the fashion to say
that much of the pilfering took place
In the Panama Canal Zone, and there
was probably some basis for the state
ment in the days when traffic through
the canal was stopped by the slides in
Gaillard cut and freight was by
congested at Colon and Balboa. It Is
probably true, however, that even In
those times much of the loss attributed
to pilfering was due to unusual hand
ling or exposure. Since traffic through
the canal has been resumed on a nor
NAL basis the loss from pilfering in
the Canal Zone has been reduced to an
almost negligible point
Goods trans-shipped to Colon and
Balboa are stored in pier sheds imme-
diately upon discharge. The sheds are
large, well built, fireproof, and can be
easily guarded and protected. Both in
the discharge from ship to pier and in
the reloading from pier to ship the
Panama Railroad company exercises
strict supervision over all operations,
since 1t has charge of all port facili-
ties and does most of the stevedoring.
To protect itself against claims for loss
the railroad company long since instI-
tuted an elaborate checking system.
Checkers not only take account Of the
number and weight of cases and pack
ages loaded or unloaded on the piers
but also note the condition of the con-
tafners as they pass over the piers and
put aside for careful inspection cases
that appear to be underweight or to
have been tempered with. In many in
stances pilfering can be detected by a
difference in the recorded weight and
the weight on arrival in Panama,
though pilferers are clever enough. as
rule, to substitute articles of the
same weight for those they have alb
stracted.
Moreover, a number of watchmen
and detectives are employed by the
Panama Railroad company. Some of
the detectives work as dock laborers.
The watchmen cannot be in all parts
of the pier sheds. and in a far corner
Of a shed or hold the stevedores may
handle case with such roughness as
to cause 1t to break open, enabling it's
contents TO be easily carried OF. De-
tectives can exert an effective restrain
ing influence in such cases.
It is clear, then, that the precautions
against pilfering in the Panama Canal
Zone are extensive and effective and
that the source of the pilfering must be
sought for elsewhere.
