We're Il number of persons gathered
along the low rail. probably all passen-
gers. Then my eyes encountered
strange group foregathered beside the
lee rail.
There were four in the little party,
one of them negress. Another was
clearly enough colonial proprietor,
| heavily built man Of middle age,
purple faced. I passed these by with
glance, my attention concentrating
upon the other two-a middle-aged
man and young woman stand
ing side by side. The former was a
| dashing looking blade, of not more
| than forty, attired in blue slashed
coat, ornamented with gilt buttons,
and bedecked at collar and cuffs with
profusion of lace. A saffron colored
waistcOat failed to conceal his richly
| beruf1led shirt, and the hilt of rapier
was rather prominently displayed.
Such dandes were frequently enough
seen, but it was this mans face which
made marked contrast with his gay
attire. He was dark and hook-nosed,
apparently of foreign birth, with black
mustache tightly clipped, so as to re-
veal the thin firmness of his lips, and
even at that distance I could perceive
the lines Of scar across his chin. AL
together there was an audacity to his
face. a daring, convincing me he was
no mere lady's knight but one to whom
! fighting was trade. He was pointing
us out to his companion, apparently
joking over our appearance, in an en-
deavor to amuse. Seemingly she gave
small heed to his words, for although
her eyes followed where he pointed
they never once lighted with q smile,
nor did 1 see her answer his sallies.
She was scarcely more than a girl,
dressed very simply in some c!inging
dark stuff, with loose gray cloak
draping her shoulders and a small,
neat bonnet of straw perched upon a
mass Of coiled nair. The face beneath
was sweetly piquant, with dark eyes
and rounded cheeks flushed with
health. She stood, both hands claspine
the rail, watching us intently.
somehow felt as though her eyes were
upon me, and within their depths, ever
at that distance, seemed to read O
message of sympathy and Kindness
The one lasting impression her face
left on my memory was that Of limo

tenderness.

what do you pay as rent?' IF you
own all or part of this farm, was
there any mortgage debt or other en-
cumbrance on the land so owned on

Pertinent-Not Impertinent.
"What the Sam HILL" you may in
quire, has the government got to do
with how much money l owe on my
land" Well. two of the things to
which the department of agriculture
has been giving deepest thought dur
ing the past several years are farm
tenancy and rural credits. The past
three censuses have shown an in
crease in the number OF tenants.
Alarmists have felt-and said-that
the country is going to the bow-wows
by the landlord route. The department
of agriculture, however, looked into
the matter as we'll rs 1t was able, and
refused to be alarmed. Where it was
able to make surveys 1t discovered
that while the number of tenants %
years old was greater in 1910 or 1890,
the number of tenants 40 years old
was considerably smaller in 1910 than
In 1900 or 1890.
The Inference Is that tenancy is a
step toward ownership, that the
young fellow who becomes tenant
farmer when he merries, say, is likely
TO be a farm owner before his first

worked for wages; how many years
he has been an owner. The depart
ment of agriculture will have the
basic information ii needs to help
men to success In farm ownership.
Other Important Queries.
Here are some other questions that
will be asked: HAS this farm a tele-
phone?" rs water piped into the
operators house?" HAS the opera
tors house gas or electric light?"
Now that looks like an effort to
find out whether or not the farm fam
lily has the modern comforts-and 1t
is just that, but 1t means something
more than mere inQuisitiveness. Sew
eral months ago. when the bureau
of farm management was in process
or reorganization. the secretary of
agriculture called a conference of
heads of schools, social workers and
others from all over the country.
When the people were assembled in
Washington, he asked their opinion
as to the most useful thing that could
be done by the office of farm manage
ment. For a whole day those people
discussed the matter. Just before
night, with Il score of items on the
ballot, they took vote. The work
of promoting the comfort and con,
venience of the farm home received
an overwhelming majority of the
votes.
That. then, Is one Of the things that

Answering Census Questions
Will Help Out Farm Profits
Full and Fair Replies When the Enumeration Calls Are Likely to Aid
the Farmer to Success-Every Question That viii Be
Asked Is an Essential Question-Not Too Early
to Get Facts Ready for Census Man.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture)
INSTRUMENTATION the census EMU
merator comes around to the farm
shortly after January l next year, he
will ask some questions that may
sound like prying into the purely per-
sonal affairs of the farmer. Now, the
farmer, like every other self-respect-
ing man, dislikes having his private
affairs peeped into and, unless he
thinks about this thing in advance,
may have disposition to be unreSpon-
sive If not actually resistant.
In actual fact, every question that
the enumerator will ask Is an essential
question and has direct bearing on
the personal welfare and prosperity
Of the individual farmer as well as
upon the Advancement Of the agricul-
ture Of the nation as whole.
When the bureau Of the census de-
cided to take the farm census in Jan
uary instead Of in April, it did so
upon the advice Of the United States
department of agriculture. The farm
err is less likely to be very busy in
January than at the spring planting
and breeding season, and his products
and live stock are in better shape for
statistical treatment. Also, every new
Question-and there are a number of
them-inserted in the agricultural
schedule was placed there after con-
sultation with the department OF
agriculture and for the purpose OF
clearing up some specific situation in
which the department Of agriculture
is trying to aid the farmer.
Here are some questions that will
be asked: "Do you own all of this
farm?" "Do you rent from Others
part but not all of this farm?" "Do

the money that used to so to pay off
the mortgage available for sending
the children to college.
Now to the department Of agricul-
ture that looks like a thoroughly nor
NAL, healthy and beneficial process. To
just the extent that tenancy leads to
farm ownership. it is a good thing for
the country and for the individual.
Full Answers Essential.
But 1t has not been possible to get
complete, nationwide survey of the
situation. The forthcoming census
offers the opportunity for doing that.
If every farmer will answer the
enumerator's questions fully and fair
ly the department Of agriculture will
have the data from which to analyze
the situation accurately and to deter
mine what things can be done to best
advantage to help the tenant in his
aspiration to become farm owner.
One Of the directions that aid may
take is encouragement of rural cred

CHAPTER II.
The Prison Ship.

The Prison Ship.

describe it in any detail-the foul
smells, the discomfort, the ceaseless
horror of food, the close companion
ship of men turned into mere animals
by suffering and distress, the weari-
some days, the black, sleepless nights,
the poisonous air, and the brutality of
guards. I can never forget these
things, for they have SCARED my soul.
The hatch above remained open, but
carefully guarded night and day, while
We were permitted on deck for air and
exercise only in squads of ten, two
hours out of every twenty-four. This
alone served to break the dread mo-
notony of the voyage. From our exer-
else on deck we generally returned be-
low drenched to the skin, but glad to
even pay that price for two hours Of
fresh air, and an opportunity to gaze
| about at sea and sky. We were herd

of the young lady in the first two
weeks at sea, and then only as we
were being ordered down to our quar-
tiers for the night. Just as l was ap-
preaching the hatch to descend our
eyes met fairly, and instantly knew
she saw and recognized me. For a
single second our glances chung, as
us to each other-then the angry
guard struck me with the stock of his

"What er We standin' thar fer?" he
demanded savagely. go on down

1 saw her clasping fingers convul-
sively grip the rail, and, even at that
distance, marked sudden flame of
color in her cheeks. That was all her
message to me, yet quite enough. AL

our names were yet unknown, I was

Of the identity Of the young woman
She remained in my memory, in my
thoughts nameless, a dream rather
than reality. 1 did learn that the
gay gallant was wealthy Spaniard
supposedly Of high birth, by name
Sanchez, and at one time in the naval
service, and likewise ascertained that
the rotund planter was a certain Roger
Fairfax of Saint Mary's in Maryland
homeward bound after successful
sale Of his tobacco crop in London. II
was during his visit to the great city
that he had met Sanchez, and his
praise Of the colonies had induced the
latter to essay a voyage in his com
pany to America. But strange enough

of his line, what few treasures
he possessed fell into alien

in the year 1887, and which,
through nine generations, had
been carefully preserved, yet
never made public. The paper
was yeIlowed and discolored by
years; occasionally a page was
missing, and the writing itself
had become almost indecipher-
able. Much indeed had to be
traced by use of a microscope.

ing to do in aid of the farm popula-
ton of this country. In order to do
the work intelligently, the depart
ment needs as full information as
possible as to how the farm homes
of the country are equipped for COM
fort and convenience.
Another Way to Help.
Every farmer will be asked how
many acres of drained land he has
and how many other acres of land
there are on his farm that could be
made suitable for cultivation if they
were tile-drained or ditch-drained.
When these questions are asked you,
remember that they are asked every
one of your neighbors. Possibly you
have a tract of land that would be
the most productive field on your
farm If you could get the surplus wa
ter out Of it, but you can not do it
because, to be effective, the drainage
ditch would have to go far beyond
the borders of your own farm, would
have to be a county enterprise, and
the county has not seen fit to do any,
thing about 1t. If that be true, several
of your neighbors have land that
should be drained. If all Of you tell
the census enumerator how many
acres you have that need drainage.
the department of agriculture will
have the facts to show what is needed
in your community. When the oppor-
tunity offers, 1t will be in position
to do what it may to secure for you
what you need.
Those things are fairly typical OF
the questions that will be asked in
taking the agricultural census. In
order to answer all of the questions
intelligently, the farmer will have to
think about the matter little before
the enumerator calls on him. He ought
to give the enumerator the most accur-
ate information he can. What the indi-
vidual farmer tells the enumerator is
likely to benefit any number of other
farmers. 1t Is not too early now to
get the facts straight in your mind.
