Chapter XVII.
A White Skirt


1t was in mid-ocean that Neeland
finally came to the conclusion that
rahody on board the Volhynia was
likely to bother him or his box.
The July weather had been mag
nifcent-blue skies, a gentle wind,
and a sea scarcely silvered by a
comber.
Assorted denizens of the Atlantic
took part in the traditional vaude-
vile performance for the benefit of
the Volhynia passengers; gulls fol-
lowed the wake to mid-oCean; Mother
Carey's chickens skinned the baby
pillows; dolphinS turned watery flip
flaps under the bows; and even dis
tant whale consented to oblige.
Everybody pervaded the decks
morning, noon and evening; the most
squeamiSh recovered confidence in
twenty-four hours; and every con-
stitutional lubber concluded he was
born sailor.
Neeland really was one; no nausea
born from the bad adjustment of
that anatomical auricular gyroscope
recently discovered in man ever dis
turbed his abdominal nerves. Short
of Shipwreck, he enjoyed any enter
tainment the Atlantic offered him.
So he was always on deck, tran
GULLY happy and with nothing in the
world to disturb him except his re-
sponsibility for the olive-wood box.
He dared not leave it in his locked
cabin; he dared not intrust it to
anybody; he lUgged" it about with
him wherever he went. On deck it
stood beside his steamer chair; it
dangled from his hand when he prom.
enaded. exciting the amaZement and
curiosity of others; it reposed on
the floor under the table and be-
meath his attentive feet when he was
at meals.
These elaborate precautions indt-
Gated his wholesome respect for the
persistence CT Scheherazade and her
friends; he was forever scanning his
fellow-voyagerS at table, In the smol1-
ing room. and as they strolled to
and fro in front OF his steamer chair,
trying to make up his mind concern
ing them.
But Neeland, a clever observer of
exIernals, was no reader of character.
The passenger list never seemed to
confirm any conclusions he arrived
at concerning any of the passengers
on the Volhynia. y gentleman he
mistook for. an overfed broker turned
out to be popular Clergyman with
outdoor proclivities; slim, poetic
looking youth who carried a copy of
Words and Wind" about the deck
travelled for the Gold Leaf Lard
company.
Taking them all in all, Nee1and
concluded that they were as harmless
a collection OF recOncentradOS as he
had ever observed; and he was
strongly tempted to leave the box in
his locked stateroom.
He decided to DO so one afternoon
after luncheon, and, Juggling his box,
started to return to his stateroom
with that intention, instead Of going
on deck, as usual, for postprandial
cigarette.

of LiebkneCht and
Luxembourg Under Sentence

BERLIN, July 5.-Question has
been raised here as to what authori-
ty, under the Prussian law, shall
confirm the verdict of the military
court which convicted several per-
sons of the murder of Karl Lieb-
I.necht and Rosa Luxembourg.
In former times the sentence
would have been confirmed by the
king of Prussia, the German emperor.
Now it is believed that the Prussian
premier as head of the diet, is the
proper person to take this action.
Meanwhile the convicts remain in
prison and cannot appeal from the
verdict of the military court.

Should Wives Be Paid,
BV Their Husbands

LONDON.-"The idea of a wife
being paid a salary must jar on
any woman who is a true partner
and mate to her husband" declares
Mrs. Robert r. Hallam, an Ameri-
can student of all feminist subjects.
"But it must be even more calling
to have to go to ones husband to
beg for every shilling that one re-
quires.
MY advice to brides-to-be is to
have a sound talk with their frances
regarding the amount of their year
ely incomes, what proportion is to be
spent upon the house and what
amount the wife can justly regard
as her own.
Most men are really just to their
wives at the start of their married
life, and it is only because they are
wrongly handled at the outset that
they do not always treat them fairly
in later wears"

LONDON, July 3.-British silver
manufacturers are seeking means of
stopping the use of their hall marks
by electro plating firms in the Unit

Der of commerce.
1t is also understood that the adj

field is taking up the question of the
use of the word "Sheftield' in con-
nection with American manufactures.
An anticipated difficulty is pointed
out in the fact that there are at
least nine Sheffields in the United
States from which many of the
American firms may derive their
names. 1t is suggested. however,
that they should add the letters, gu.
