Now He Wakes Up.

Jake had always been most diff
cult, fellow to arouse from his slum-
bers and persisted in not hearing the
reveille. Finally the captain ordered
him to be brought in to him. When
Jake appeared the captain inquired
how many times he had had to be
called that morning. Jake replied
evasively by saying he didn't know.
The captain studied few moments,
then took n sheet of paper and drew a
small circle on 1t. After fastening the
paper to the wall he turned TO Jake
and said Take a position with your
nose I'm that circle and remain until
you are ordered to move"
Poor Jake stood until almost noon
staring into the wall, and needless TO
say he never failed to respond to the
reveille afterward.

Peace or War? Dorothy Is
Forced to Choose.

Synopsis - Geoffry Carlyle,
master Of sailing ships at twen-
ty-six, Is sentenced tC 20 years
servitude in the American col
onies for participation In the
Monmouth rebellion In England.
Among the passengers on board
the ship on which he is sent
across are Roger Fairfax,
wealthy Maryland planter; his
niece, Dorothy Fairfax, and Lieu
tenant Sanchez, a Spaniard, who
became acquainted with the Fair
faxes in London. Carlyle meets
Dorothy, who informs him her
uncle has bought his services.
Sanchez shows himself an enemy
Of Carlyle. The Fairfax party,
now on its own sloop In the
Chesapeake bay, encounters a
mysterious bark, the Namur Of
Rotterdam. Carlyle discovers
that Sanchez is "Black Sanchez"
planning to steal the Fairfax
gold and abduct Dorothy. He
fights Sanchez and leaves him
for dead. In battle with
Sanchez followers, however, he
is overpowered and thrown into
the bay. In desperate effort
to save Dorothy, Carlyle decides
to swim to the Namur. BY a
ruse he gets aboard and min
giles with the crew. The pirates
return to the Namur with Dor
othy, the captured gold and
Sanchez, badly wounded but still
alive. Carlyle finds a friend in
Watkins, an English sailor. Es-
tada, acting captain, makes Car
lyle first mate of the Namur.

The Caoin Of the Namur.

spokes, and 1t was evident that it re-
quired all his giant strength to con-
troll the bucking Wheel He was an
ugly-looking brute, the lower portion
of his face apelike and the wool grow
ing so low as to leave him scarcely
an inch of forehead. His eyes lifted
an instant from the pinnacle card to
glance ut me curiOusly. They exhib-
tied no flash of recognition.
For half an hour Estada hung about
aft, apparently paying no attention to
me, and yet watching my movements
closely. There was little to be done,
but thought it best to keep the watch
reasonably busy, so they might thus
learn that l knew my work. They
proved prompt and capable enough,

to interfere with their diversions.
After Estada left the deck the ma
jority amused themselves gambling,
and as l had received no orders to
interfere I permitted the games to pro-
coed. Mendez interfered only once
on occasion Of brief fight. My only
instructions from the Portuguese on
his going below was to call him at
once IL sail was sighted. Apparent
ly he was satisfied Of my ability to
command the deck.
No occasion to call him arose dur

What OMAHA Shows

THE Omaha incident Sunday, with attempted
hanging of the mayor and the lynchng of a
negro shows number of things
1t proves that are not yet fully civilized, in
spite of our boasted culture and education
Il proves that as a nation, have small respect
for constituted authority.
1t shows how easily mob can sweep over city
and take the law into its hands and overturn
the order that we have built up by hundreds of
of effort and bloody years of fighting for freedom
and democratic rule.
It points to the fact that men will riot, burn pill
lage and kill unless they are watched and checked by
the fear Of or respect for organized society and law
II demonstrates the fact that mob is the most
cruel most savage irrational, damnable thing in the
world
It gives u.s. in short, faint idea of the horrors Of
mob rule the red terror of Russia, of Bolshevism.
