President Wilson, moving steadily
toward the Pacific coast, is striking
telling blows in behalf Of the treaty
and is meeting with enthusiastic re-
ceptions everywhere. His admirers,
however, cannot fail TO regret that he
is descending to rather undignified
abuse Of those who oppose his poll
cies, and that he resorts to specious
argument in appealing to special in
terests, as when he told the farmers of
North Dakota that If the treaty were
not ratified Europe would not buy their
wheat.
Mr.. Wilson's harsh words against
his opponents called forth instant re-
Spouse from Senstor Kenyon in the
senate and from Senators Borah, John
son and Mccormick, who opened the
speaking tour of the reservationists in
Chicago. The president had called the
senators who demand reservations In
the treaty contemplate cutters" and
Kenyon heatedly declared the most
contemplate cutters in the history of
the world were those who assembled
with high ideals at the Paris confer
ence and permitted Japan to take over
Shantung."
Johnson also took this as his text
and to the noisy delight of a huge
Chicago audience undertook to show
that 1t was President Wilson who was
the gutter, in that he had gone across
the sea with high ideals Of open cove
nants, freedom of the seas, removal of
economic barriers, reduction of arma-
ments and self-determnation for all
peoples, and had come home with just
what was handed to him.

CHAPTER XXI.
The Last of the Namur.

The vessel was plainly total wreck,
rapidly pounding to death on sharp
ledge of rock. Both masts were down,
and, lifted as the bow was, it was easy
to perceive the deck was in splinters
where falling spars and topmasts had
crushed their way through. The bows
had caught, seemingly jammed in be-
tween rocks, the stern sunk deep, with
cabin port holes barely above reach of
the waves. Not living thing appeared
on board, and, as the fog slowly drifted
away, my eyes could discern no sign
Of any boat, no evidence of the crew,
along the wide sweep of water. A
voice aroused me.

treasure on the old hooker? Why not
get II afore it's too later"

that. The bark is liable to slide Off
that rock any minute and go down like
a stone. What do you say, bullies7
Here is a risky job, but a pocket full
of gold pieces, II we can get aboard
and safely off again. Who'll go across
with me?"
There was babel Of voices the men
crowding about me, all else forgotten
as greed gripped their imaginations.
"Stand back, lads! I cannot use all
of you. Four will be enough. You'll
not lose anything of what we bring
back; it'll be share and share alike, so
fall, to, hearties."
! paused an instant to speak to
Dorothy, seated on the flag locker, ex-
planning to her swiftly my object In
exploring the wreck and pledging my
self not to be reckless In attempting
. to board. l read fear in her eyes, yet
she said nothing to dissuade me.
l slipped down a rope and dropped
into the boat, taking my place with
steering oar at the stern, and we shot
away through the green water. The
Namur proved to be more complete
wreck than our distant view had re-
vealed, and lying in a more precarious
position. 1t was no pleasant job get
ting aboard, but ordering Haines to nc
company me, and the others to lie by,
made use of a dangling backstay, and
thus hauled myself up to reasonably
secure footing. The fellow Joined me
breathless, and together we perched
on the rail to gain view Of the deck.

/ heard her cry out. and barely
caught the lantern as 1t fell from her
hand. At first / doubted the evidence
of my own eyes, snatching the bit Of
faring candle from its tin socket and
holding 1t where the full glare of
light fell across the grewsome object.
Ay, 1t was woman, with lower limbs
doubled back from lack Of space, but
otherwise lying as though she slept, SO
perfect In preservation her cheeks ap-
peared flushed with health, her lips
half smiling. 1t was face of real
beauty-an English face, although her
eyes and hair were dark and her man.
tilla and long earrings were unques-
tionably Spanish. A string of pearls
encircled her throat, and there were
numerous rings upon her fingers. The
very contrast added UNNECESSARILY to
the horror.
"She is alive! Surely she is alive!"
The words were sobbed into my ear
from Dorothy's lips.
"Allve! No, that is impossible I" /
touched the figure with my hand. 1.-The
flesh is like stone," / said, thus held
iifelike by some magic of the Indies.
What can II all mean? Who could the
woman be? 1t is love or hate?"
mot love, Geoffry. Love would
never do this thing. 1t is hate, the
gloatlng of revenge; there can be no
other answer-this Is the end of a
tragedy"
There was nothing, not scrap Of
paper, not even the semblance of a
wound exposed. The smile on those
parted lips had become one of mock
cry; / could bear the sight no longer,
and rose TO my feet, clasping Dorothy
close to me, as she still gazed down in
fascination at the CHASTITY sight.
"We will never know. The man who
could tell is dead"

"Who else could it be? This was
his schooner, and here he alone could
hide such q secret. There Is nothing
more we can learn, and the horror I'M
nerves me. Hold the light, dear, while
I replace the lid of the chest"
1t required my utmost effort to ac-
complish this. l was glad to have the
thing hidden, to escape the stare Of
those fixed eyes, the death smile Of
those red lips. 1t was no longer
reality but a dream Of delirium; l
dare not think or speculate-my only
desire being to get away, to get Dor
othy away. In absolute terror / drew
her with me to the open door-then
stopped, paralyzed; the half revealed
figure of man appeared on the cabin
stairs.

BIooer and Heavier Hen Fruit.

1t Is thought by naturalists that the
eggs of domestic hens Of the present
day are larger and heavier by nearly Q
third than those Of the hens of the
ancients. Eggs differ good deal in
weight, the average weight being about
two ounces. A good egg is made up
Of ten parts shell, 60 parts white
and 30 parts yolk. The white Of an
egg contains SO per cent water. The
shell contains about per cent animal
matter and per cent of the phos
pilates Of lime and magnesia, the rest
consisting of carbonate Of lime. Hall

the egg Is tough, white, leathern sub

day Is the ostrich egg.

Peace Treaty Reported to the
Senate for Ratification With
Alterations.
MINORITY REPORT ALSO MADE
President Wilson's Harsh Words
Against Opponents Call Forth Re-
pIies-Treaty With Austria Is
Signed-Fatal Strike Riots
in Hammond and Boston.
BY EDWARD w. PICKARD.

Whether or not it wins to the cause
of the treaty any supporters, President
Wilson's tour already has had one i'm
ate committee on foreign relations to
release its grip on the pact and report
II to the senate for action. So the fight
over the treaty is now transferred to
the floor of the upper house. How
long final action there will be delayed
no man can tell.
The majority report of the commit
tee, representing the views of Chair
man Lodge and the other radical OPP
ponents of the treaty and League of
Nations-the latter especially-rec-
ommends the ratification of the treaty
with four important reservations, as
set forth in these columns week ago,
and also 1t recommends the amend
ments then mentioned. These amend
ments and reservations alike, says the
report, 'are governed by single pur-
pose, and that Is to guard American
rights and American sovereignty, the
invasion of which would stimulate
breaches of faith, encourage conflicts,
and generate wars"
That the adoption Of amendments
would necessitate the reassembling of
the peace conference Is denied in the
report, since the conference probably
will be in session for six months more,
and it is also asserted that the German
delegates could easily be brought back
to Paris, and that, as Germany is not
member of the league, she need not
be consulted about changes in the cove
nant. Blame for delay is shifted from
the committee to the peace conference
itself and the statement often made
by the advocates of unreserved rati-
fication, that trade cannot be resumed
until such action is taken, is char
acterZed as "mere deusion." The
report sarcastically calls attention to
the fact that Premier Lloyd George in
recent important speeches failed to
point out that acceptance of the league
covenant by Great Britain had relieved
the social, political and economic trou-
bles of that country and had not sug-
gested that prompt action on the treaty
by the American senate would immedi-
ately lower the price of beef. AS for
the fears that other nations may not
accept American amendments, the re-
port says: "That is one thing that GER
tainly will not happen. :. The
other nations will take us on our own
terms, for without us their league is
wreck and all their gains from a
victorious peace are imperiled."
