EARNED HER LIBERTY
Unlooleed-Fer Suffering Endured by
etowaway Who Was Making Her
Way to Freedom.

Gone was the BOsp0rus and IN lts
place We saw the leaden waters OF the
Black sea. From the portfolio OF
Josefs cabin we could distinguish
many miles west Of US the coast line
Of the country In which White hao
spent three years, according to Capt.
Alan Bolts "Stowaways, Inc" In Asia.
Feodor soon left US, for he had to
bring other stowaways to the light OF
day. From every concealed Granny OF
the vessel men and women, almost AZ
light-hearted AZ ourselves at deliver
ance from the Turks, were coming into
the open.
One of the stowaways, q passport
less woman whom the aged captain
was taking with him to Odessa, did
not rejoice for some time. As hiding
place for her the old man had chosen
q deep locker in his chartroom on the
bridge. There she had remained tor
the last two days. Now, Rosa. the
kitchen wench, knew nothing OF the
captains lady. That morning, not
wishing to send her own particular
stowaway-a Turkish deserter with
coal-blackened face, untrimmed beard
and decidedly odorous clothes-Dack
to the bunkers, where he had spent
the previous day, she thought OF the
locker as a temporary home. Dump
ing him inside the locker, she fas-
tened the lid and ran back to the
kitchen. The Turkish deserter landed
with some violence on the captains
lady and both received q bad fright as
they clutched at each other In the
darkness. Yet the lid could not be re-
moved from the inside and the wom-
ans screams were unheard outside the
little room. The air in the unventi-
lated locker grew more and more
stuffy. Finally the woman tainted.
The Turk, tired after q long spell Of
cramped wakefulness in the bunkers
and the kitchen, composed himself
philosophically and went to sleep.

SENATE SWAYED BY YOUTHS
Conspicuous Examples Of Precocity
Furnished by tho British Commons,
tho Mother Of Parllaments,

For 4 long time It has been a Brit
ish boast that the house Of commons
Is the most widely representative Of
all legislative bodies. since It includes
not only all social grades, but numbers
among its membership men Of all ages,
from the mere youth to the octogena-
rian.
So long ago as the year 1913 there
were 40 legislators in the commons
who had not attained their twentieth
year, and, incredible as It may seem,
certain Of these were only sixteen
years Of age.
Edmund Waller, the poet and cour-
tier Of Stuart days, was schoolboy Of
sixteen when he qualified as q N. p.

Chesterfield was a legislator at

IS, however, undiminished by the
cumstance that as he was not yet

More precocious yet was william
