CHAPTER xXlll.
The Prisoners Escape.


 The two men followed me silently as far as the companion, where We paused a moment staring blindly about us into the fog. Even the guard at the main hatch was invisible.
 Garter, guard this after deck until Watkins and I come back. Under no circumstances permit LeVere to enter the cabin"
 With the door closed, we were plunged into a darkness which ren- dered the interior invisible. l won dered dimly why the man on guard had not lighted the swinging lantern. I stumbled over something on the deck, as groped forward, but did not pause until I had lighted the lantern. It blazed up brightly enough, it's vel low flame Illuminating the cabin and the first thing I saw was the out stretched figure of the sailor almost between my feet. We needed to ask no questions, imagine nothing-the overturned chair, the stricken sailor told the whole story. He had been treacherously stuck from behind, the blade driven home by strong hand, and was dead before he fell to the deck. It had been silent, vengeful murder, and the assassin had left no trace. Who could 1t have been? Not Gunsaules surely-the steward lacked both nerve and strength for such q deed. Then there was but one to sus- pect-Sanchez - .r-. srr.onnk-Ss----- -.Er--rorssE---~-7- ~ '-IA-E

CHAPTER XXI.
The Crew Decides.


 Except that many of the men re- maiued armed there was no suggestion of violence. But for the gleaming car ronade trained on the main hatch, and the small group of gunners clustered about 1t, the scene was peaCeable enough. resembling the deck of some merchant ship. LeVere stood motion less at the poop rail, staring down and his attitude and expression of face aroused within me doubt of the man, determination to put him to the test. Evidently he had held aloof and re- trained from taking even the slightest part In our activities. The men them selves were mostly forward, grouped together and still excitedly discussing the situation.
 Stand by to reef topsails," shout ed. Were all one watch now. Go at 1t lively, lads, and when the job is over we'll eat, and decide together whats our next move. Two of you will be enough to guard the hatch and one of you go into the cabin and re- lieve the girl there. Keep your eyes open. I'll be down presently, Aloft with you and see how quick job you can make of it."
 Watkins led the way up the main- mast ratlines, and Cole was first into the fore shrouds, the others following eagerly. l watched them lay out on the yards and was ,heartened to hear the fellows sing as they worked, the canvas melting away as if by magic. climbed the ladder to where LeVere stood on the poop, but carefully ignored his presence, my gaze on the scene aloft. Twice, I gave orders.

BAKERS WANT ID
 STOP NIGHT WORK Claim Is Made That I'm dus- try Will Be RevOlutiO h.
 ized by Change
By Associated Press

l Chicago, April 5.-The baking in- 1 dustry in America may be comp letely 1 revolutionized if organized labor car ! ries out it's demands for abolition of night work, according to leading mas ! ter bakers
 l The national headquarters here Of | the Bakers and Confectionery Work | CTS International Union of Am ierica l has sent an address to every local in | the country urging that formal de-
 mand for abolition of work betwe en II l D. m. and 5 a. m. be made when wage scales for the year are presented t1 1 employers on May l.
 I Each local will be permitted to take such steps as it seems necessary to en- | force the demands.
 i In vigorously opposing the demands, | master bakers assert that 75 per cent ] of bakery goods is produced after mid- 1 night, that the public demands fresh | bread each morning. and that the | change would greatly reduce output l or necessitate costly expansion of plants and machinery. In either case, l they say, the cost of the 100000 1 loaves of bread produced daily in Chi cago would be increased to the con- sumner and that other cities probably would follow the same course. To this the union executive board replies that similar objections wee advanced years ago when Legislation was sought abolishing cellar bakeries.
 Employers thought they could no,
 do without the dirty, underground
 bakeries. but now they would not think of returning to such conditions
 said A. A. Myrup, treasurer of the union. we ask abolition of night work as matter of health and jus tice to our 50,000 workers The change is also in the interest of public hdalth In large cities 70 to 9S per cent of the population uses bakery bread. Doc tors say prevalence of tuberculosis and nervous diseases among our craft is due in large measure to night work in high temperatures. Most accidents also occur at night when the workers are drowsy.
 Might work is prohibited in ba- keries of Italy, Sweden, England and other European countries. We appre- ciate the importance of the oh hnSe and are willing that it be addptel gradually until night work is entirety
 eliminated But workers will insis. that the demand be granted. They consider this issue more important than higher wages or shorter hours at present"
 Union executives say night work was discontinued in San Francisco ba- keries year and a half ago and thas that the plan since has been adopted by 30 smaller cities. The controversy over night work was started 25 wears ago, they declare.

yON KUEHLMANN BROKE SPELL

The mesmeric spell which had been cast upon the people as a result of reading daily 'an unbroken chain of victorious announcements" Dr. Muehlon points out. was dissipated when Foretn Secretary Von Kuehlmann declared publicly that the war could not be won ''militarily,'' It cost Von Kuehlmann his post but it awakened the German people to the fact that they were on the precipice of nation- al disaster Thereafter the censors per mitted less optimistic and bombastic news reports.
 Loss of the war was charged by the former Krupp expert to two grave mis- takes, by Won Ludendorff, described as the brains of the German army" in his failure, first, correctly to estimate the wonderful possibilities of the American troop transport and his false assumption that Marshal Foch's reserve army had ceased to exist in June, 1918. Luden- dorff. he said, gambled with the exist ence of Germany. He was like jockey in a long, race, who forced his horse far ahead of the rest of the field and who. toward the end when the others began to gain with their carefully reserved strength, used whip and spurs in a des- perate effort to win, virtually killed his mount and yet lost after all.'

gether a decided improvement is no ticeable. This is due in part perhaps to the recent petition presented to the authorities to enforce the bone dry law. and which has since met with far greater success than was antict- pated.-McCarthy News.
 The attempt of the First division to secede from the Territory of Alaska and become separate territory, while occasioning no surprise to the resi- dents of the Second, Third and Fourth division, is so frivolous as to be absurd The claim by the residents of that division, as enunciated by the citizens of Ketchikan, that the First division produces practically the money to maintain the territory and therefore the First should have the bulk of the moneys appropriated is another bit of bunk which will tickle the risibles of residents of the terri tory who will view the attempt of the tail to wag the dog with much merriment. If the citizens of the first division are attempting to perpetrate a joke we are willing to laugh with the bunch, but if in earnest we would sug- eest that it take look-see at the figures before cutting off from the ter ritorial payroll. We know not what meat our Caeser has fed on to grow so great.-Valdez Miner.
 That the Masters and Pilots Asso- citation has unanimously indorsed the project to dredge Wrangell Narrows is the word brought to Petersburg by Captain Charles Glascock and Pilot Howard Bulenne, of the steamer Ad- miral Watson.
 These two men are working hard for the project and say that even were Dry Straits dredged it would not be used, except possibly by a very few boats.
 lQ0 use Ol AuSouo IiA~' boats will have to operate for over twenty miles farther through one of the worst ice fields in Alaska. An enor- fous amount of money would have to be spent yearly to keep the channel clear of sand and silt. Besides that the current through there would carry ice bergs from Le Conte Glacier out into Stickine Striats. We now have free navigation, as far as ice is concerned until we leave the North end of Wran- gell Narrows. Were Dry Straits dredged we would haveto start watch ing for ice immediately after leaving Ketchikan. The heavy ice fields from the glacier would make it impossible to navigate Dry Straits at certain sea- sons of the year. The business of this section is in Wrangell Narrows and after navigating Dry Straits we would
 have to come into the Narrows any I way to serve Petersburg and Scow sEbay. Every man who IS in command of
 a ship on the Alaska run, or who ever navigated ship in these waters is be- hind the project" said Captain IGlascock recently Report.
