 A part of the lower shoddy mill, a two-story addition recently built on, owned by the Fabyan Woolen Co.,, was destroyed by fire Tuesday evening. The blaze, it is believed, started in the dryer and had made good headway before the firemen reached the scene and it caused considerable damage be- fore being overcome. The damage is estimated at about $1O,OOO. The tanks of the Standard Oil Co. are located south of the building, but the flames were prevented from spreading in that direction. The firemen had just returned from practice when the alarm was run, so they were able to start for the scene of the fire almost immediately and they reached there in time to save the boiler room and the old part of the building.

GiDsies Modernjzed

Eve the gipsy caravan is becoming mOderniZed. One hears of a band of nsmads "gipsying" through Indiana in automobiles, and, even more surpris- ing, cooking on kerosene stoves in stead of by camp fires, and washing clothes with electric washing ma chimes. But this must be an unusually up-tO-date band of gipsies. For five hundred years, since their first record ed appearance in eastern Europe, the gipsies have been going about the world, keeping curiousfy intact t he habits, character and language that modern ethnOlogists believe they brought with them from India and re- mained always an odd combination of picturesque vagabOndage and personal conservatism. Perhaps, however, these highly modern gipsies anticipate the future and are beginning, as they trav- erse the country, to trade second hand automobiles as they used to trade horses.

BIG AFTER-PEACE SCHEMES
Oil Pipeline Across the Atlantic is Among the Wonderful Things
 That Are Proposed.

What with the channel tunnel, the proposed 22-mile bridge from Folke- stone to Cape Gris Nez, not TO men, tion the tunnel to Ireland, there are some big schemes ahead, if they al materialize, observes London Answers. But still bigger, it would seem, is the latest American project for {: line of huge pipes beneath the Atlanti. for the transport of sil from the American oil fields direct & Europe.
 - This, of course, would be by far the longest pipe line in the world. Ameri- ca has a number of oil pipe lines, which convey the petroleum from thu wells to the coast, and direct into the tankers. But the longest pipe line in Europe for the conveyance of mineral oil is the one which connects the now war famous town of Baku, on the Cas- plan sea, with Batum, on the Black sea, both of which towns are now un- der allied control. This pipe line was completed just before the war and will now be fully restored to working or der. It is $50 miles in length and has carrying capacity of 4OO,OOO,OOO gal Ions year.

There are "absent-minded beggars" in the Welsh capital. The gentleman who is supposed to look after the coats and hats at big Cardiff house, and who is such keen student of human ity that he can guess within twopence the size of tip beforehand, says the majority of men allow their thoughts to stray while claiming their garments.
 He has known respectable heads of families to hand him theater vouchers, transfer tram tickets, baggage coupons and even a pawnticket instead of the correct piece of paper entitling them to the articles left to his care.-Cardiff Western Mail.

At one of the theological seminaries they tell of an absent-minded profess sor who while studying Ole evening had need of book mark, and for the purpose employed a pair of his wife's scissors that chanced to be at hand.
 Shortly after his wife wanted the scissors, but diligent search on her part and his own failed to disclose them.
 The next day the professor ap- peared before his class and opened his book. There lay the lost scissors. He picked them up and, with triumphant smile, held them aloft, crying out:

CHAPTER vi.
Tho Mysterious. Sail.

Where I leaned alone against the
rail my eyes followed the Spaniard in
doubt and questioning, nor could I
entirely Danish from mind Haley's de-
scription Of that buccaneer bearing a
similar name. Yet, in spite of my I'M
conscious desire to connect these two
together, found it simply impossible
to associate this rather soft-spoken, eff
Terminate dandy with that bloody viii
lain.
1t was already quite dusk when we
finally drew in beside Travers' wharf
and made fast. Our approach had
been noted and Travers himself-a
white-haired, white-bearded man, yet
still hearty and vigorous, attired in
white duck-was on the end of the
dock to greet us, together with nu-
merous servants Of every shade of
color, who Immediately busted them
selves toting luggage up the steep
path leading toward the house, stand
ing conspicuous amid grove Of trees
on the summit of the bank. The 9TH
ers followed, four fellows Juggling with
difficulty an iron-bound chest, the two
older men engaged in earnest CONVEX
sation, thus leaving Sanchez apparent
ly well satisfied with the opportunity
alone to assist the girl.
Except to render the sloop COM
pletely secure for the night, there re-
manned little work for us to perform
on board. The four of us passed the
early evening undisturbed smoking and
talking together. So the time passed
quickly, and it must have been nearly
midnight before we brought out blan-
kets from the forecastle and lay down
in any spot we chose on deck.
It was a fair, calm night, but moon
less, with but little wind stirring, and
a slight haze in the air, obscuring the
vision. The others must have fallen
asleep Immediately. At last, despair
ing Of slumber, and perchance urged
by some premonition of danger, ]
arose to my feet and moved silently
aft.
My startled eyes caught a glimpse
Of speck Of white emerging from the
black shadows-the spectral glimmer
of small sail. The strange craft
swept past, so far out that those on
board no doubt believed themselves
beyond sight from the shore, heading
apparently for point of land, which
vaguely remembered as jutting out
to the northward.

Wen put up with him tonight. D-n
me, Sanchez, I believe I'll hail the
fellow and find out what he is doing
in there"
Sanchez nodded, carelessly striking
flint and steel in an effort to relight a
cheroot.
We came about slowly. The dis
lance to be covered was not great, and
in less than ten minutes We were
drawing in toward the high stern of
the anchored vessel.
No evidence of life appeared on
board, although everything looked
shipshape allow and aloft, and rather
extensive wash tapped in the wind
forward, bespeaking generous crew.
A moment later my eyes made out the
name painted across the stern-Na-
muir of Rotterdam.
Fairfax leaned far out across the
rail as we swept in closer, but the
Spaniard exhibited no particular in
terest in the proceedings. A hundred
feet distant l held the dancing sloop
to mere steerage-way. while Fairfax
hailed.
A red-faced man with black beard
thrust his head up above the after
rail and answered, using English, yet
with a faint accent which was moi

in any trouble. This is q strange
place to anchor. What are you

The fellow waved his hands in 9
gesture indicating disgust.

Roger Fairfax and Sanchez, with the
laughing girl between them for pro-
lection. Fairfax was evidently we'll
known to a number present, for he
was being greeted on all sides with
hearty handshakes and words of well
come.
We boarded the Fairfax sloop. The
baggage was transferred. I worked
with the Fairfax servants and it cut
my pride to the quick. Out in the bay
I was sent to the wheel.

yards off shore.
The Spaniard presently pointed out
to Fairfax the position of the bark.
"Surely strange place in which to
anchor, Lieutenant" said Fairfax.
Bark rugged and very heavily spared.
Seems to be all right. What do you
make of the vessel"
The Spaniard twisted his mustache
but exhibited little interest, although
his gaze was upon the craft.
Decidedly Dutch, should say" he
answered slowly. "The beggars seem

hastily forward, removing his hat with
so peculiar flourish as he approached
as to cause me to notice the gesture.
Fairfax waved his hand to me to
resume our course. Shortly after he
crossed the deck to the wheel. There
he stood watching the bark for some
time.
"What do you make of her, Car

fellow lied"
