Gibney, Scraggs an McGuffey, all
share an share alike? You can bid
as high as hundred dollars, If neces-
sary, an still come out thousand
dollars to the good. I'm tellin' you
this because I know what's in them
two boxes"
McGuffey was staring fascinated at
Mr.. Gibney. Captain Scraggs clutched
his mates arm in frenzied clasp.
"What?" they both interrogated.
"You two boys" continued Mr. Glib
ney with aggravating deliberation
"ain't what nobody would call dunn
mics. You're smart men. But the
trouble with both O you boys is you
amt got no imagination. Without
imagination nobody gets nowhere, un-
less it's out tn small end O. tn horn.

my Imagination is all that keeps me

had read the address on them two

it's different. I'm blessed with imagi-
nation enough to see right through
them Chinaman tricks. Them two
boxes is marked Oriental Goods an

grimy forefinger, and Scraggs and Nc
Guffey eyed it very much as if they
expected it to go off at any moment)-

Gin Seng company, ia Dupont street,

"Well, that's up in Chinatown, all
right" admitted Captain Scraggs, "but
how about what's inside the two
cratesf'

"Oriental goods, Of course" said Nc.
Guffey. 'They are consigned to q

His auditors stared at Mr.. Gibney
much as might a pair. Of baseball fans

strikes and the bases full.

"Great grief, Glib! Can this be pos
sible" gasped Captain Seraggs.
For answer Mr.. Gibney took out his
fifty-dollar bill and handed it toto
McGuffey. He never trusted Captain
Scraggs with anything more valuable
than pipeful Of tobacco
"Scrsggsy," he said solemnly, I'm
willin' to back my imagination with
my cash. You an McGuffey hurry
right over to the warehouse an butt
in Oil the sale when they come to them
two boxes. The sale is just about
startin' now. Go as high as you thi:1s
you can in order to get the ginseng at

tioneer fifty dollars down to hold the
sale; that will give you boys time to
rush around to dig up the balance o
the money. Tack right along now,
lads, while 60 down the street an
get me some breakfast. I don't want
Blumenthal to see me around that sale.
He might get suspicious. After l eat
I'll meet you here aboard tn Maggie,
an we'll divide the loot"
With fervent handshake all
around, the three shipmates parted.
After disposing Of a hearty break
fast Of devilled lambs kidneys and
coffee, Mr.. Gibney invested in ten
cent Sailors Delight and strolled down
to the Maggie. Neils Halvorsen, the
lone deckhand, was aboard, and the
moment Mr. Gibney trod the Maggie's
deck once more as mate, he
exercised his prerogatlve to order
Neils ashore for the remainder
Of the day. Since Halvorsen was not
in on the ginseng deal, Mr.. Gibney
concluded that it would be just as we'll
to have him out Of the way should

pectedly with the two cases Of GIN

crew who still lived. Shortly there
after the coroner came and removed
the dead, after which Gibney and Nc
Guffey hosed down the deck, located
some hard tack and coffee, supped
and turned in In the officers quarters.
In the morning, Scab Johnny arrived
In launch with their other clothes
(Mr. Gibney having thoughtfully sent
him ten dollars on account Of their
old board bill, together with request
for the clothes), and when the agents
of the Chesapeake sent q watchman
to relieve them they went ashore and
had breakfast. After breakfast, they
called at the Office Of the agents,
where they were complimented on their
daring seamanship and received q
check for one thousand dollars each.
"Well. now," McGuffey declared, af-
ter they had cashed their checks, "See-
in as how I've become independent
ly wealthy by following your lead,
Adelbert, oil I got to say is that I'm
a-goin' to stick to you like limpet to
a rock. What'll we do with our
money!
For the first time in his checkered
career Mr.. Gibney had sane, sensl-
BILE, and serious thought. "Has 1t ever

it is to have q few dollars In the bank,
good clothes on your back, an cred

REAL MONEY.

Synopsis. Captain Phineas p.
Scraggs has grown up around the
docks of San Francisco, and from
mess boy on a river steamer, risen
to the ownership of the steamer
Maggie. Since each annual In
spection promised to be the last OF
the old weatherbeaten vessel.
Scraggs naturally has some diff
Guilty in securing a crew. When
the story opens, Adelbert p. Glib
ney, likable, but erratic, man
whom nobody but Scraggs would
hire, is the skipper, Neils Halvor-
sen, a solemn Swede, constitutes
the forecastle hands, and Bart Nc
Guffey, a wastrel of the Gibney
type, reigns In the engine room.
With this motley crew and his an
cient vessel, Captain Scraggs is
engaged in freighting garden
truck from Halfmoon bay to San
Francisco. The inevitable happens:
the Maggie goes ashore In a fog.
A passing vessel hailing the wreck,
Mr.. Gibney gets word to a towing
company in San Francisco that the
ship ashore is the Yankee Prince.
with promise of a rich salvage.
Two tugs succeed In pulling the
Maggie into deep water, and she
slips her tow lines and gets away
in the fog. Furious at the decep-
ton practiced on them, Captains
Hicks and Flaherty. commanding
the two tugboats, ascertain the
identity Of the yankee Prince"
and, fearing ridicule should the
facts become known along the wa
ter front, determine on personal
vengeance. Their hostile visit to
the Maggie results in Captain
Scraggs promising to get q new
boiler and make needed repairs to
the steamer. Scraggs' refuses to
fulfill his promises and Gibney and
McGunfey strike" With marvel
Gus luck, Scraggs ships a fresh
crew. At the end of a few days
of wild conviviality Gibney and
McGuffey are stranded and seek
their old positions on the Maggie.
They are hostilely received. but re-
main. On their way to San Fran
cisco they sight derelict and Glib
ney and McGuffey swim to 1t. The
derelict proves to be the Chesa-
peake, richly laden, its entire crew
stricken with scurvy. Scraggs at
tempts to tow her in. but II Mag

q mental resolve to play fair In the
future at least as fair as the limits
Of his cross-grained nature would per-
NIT. he was so cheerful and happy
that McGuffey, taking advantage OF
the situation, argued him into some
minor repairs to the engine.
About nine o'clock, as Mr.. Gibney
was on his way to the Marigold Cafe
for breakfast, he was mildly inter-
ested, while passing the Embarcadero
warehouse, to note the presence of
fully a dozen seedy-looking gentlemen
Of undoubted Hebraic antecedents,
congregated in q circle just outside the
warehouse door. There was an air
of suppressed excitement about this
group Of Jews that aroused Mr.. Glib
ney's curiosity; so he decided to cross
over and investigate, being Of the opin-
ion that possibly one Of their number
had fallen in a fit. He had once had
an epileptic shipmate and was pecu-
liarly expert in the handling Of such
cases.
Now. If the greater portion Of Mr..
Gibney's eventful career had not been
spent at sea, he would have known, by
the red flag that floated over the door,
that q public auction was about to
take place, and that the group Of He
brew gentlemen constituted an organi-
zation known as the Forty Thieves,
whose business 1t was to dominate the
bidding at all auctions, frighten off. or
buy off, or outbid all competitors, and
eventually gather unto themselves, at
their own figures, all goods offered for
sale.
In the center of the group Mr.. Glib
ney noticed tall, lanky individual,
evidently the leader, who was issuing
instructions in a low voice to his
hencbmen. This individual, though
Mr.. Gibney did not know 1t, was the
King of the Forty Thieves As Mr..
Gibney luffed into view the king eyed
him with suspicion. Observing this,
Mr.. Gibney threw out his magnificent
chest, scowled at the king, and stepped
into the warehouse for all the world
as If he owned 1t.
An oldish man with g]asses-the
auctioneer-was seated on box max
ing figures in notebook. Him Mr..
Gibney addressed.
"What's all this here?" be inquired,
jerking his thumb over his shoulder
at the group.
'It's an old horse sale," replied the
auctioneer. without looking up.
Mr.. Gibney frightened. He glanced
around for the stock in trade, but OBJ
serving none concluded that the old
horses would be led in, one at q time,
through q small door in the rear Of
Middletown transcript., 1921-11-26

the warehouse. Like most sailors, Mr..
Gibney had passion for horseback
riding, and in a spirit of adventure he
resolved to acquaint himself with the
ins and outs Of an old horse sale.
'How much might man have to
give for one Of the critters?" he asked.
"And are they worth whoop after
you get them?"
TWENTY-FIVE cents up," was the an
swer. "You 60 1t blind at an old horse
sale, as rule. Perhaps you get some
thing that's worthless, and then again
you may get something that has heaps
Of value, and perhaps you only pay
half a dollar for it. It all depends on
the bidding. once sold an old horse
to a chap and he took it home and
opened it up, and what dye suppose
he found inside?"
"Bots," replied Mr.. Gibney, who
prided himself on being something of
veterinarian, having spent a few
months Of his youth around a livery
stable.
"A million dollars in Confederate
greenbacks," replied the auctioneer.
"0f course they didn't have any value,
but just suppose they'd been U. ST"
'That's right" agreed Mr.. Gibney.
II suppose the swab that owned the
horse starved it until the poor animal
figgered that alls grass that's green.
As the feller says, Truth is sometimes
stranger than fiction If you throw
in a saddle and bride cheap, l might
be induced to invest in one of your old
horses, shipmate."
The auctioneer glanced quickly at
Mr.. Gibney, but noticing that worthy's
face free from guile, he burst >out
laughing.
my sea-faring friend" he said
presently, when we use the term old
horse we use 1t flguratively. See all
this freight stored here? Well, that's
never been called for by the consign-
ees, and after It's in the warehouse
a year and isn't called for, we have
an old horse sale and auction It OF
to the highest bidder. Sayey?"

Home Brew Thirty Centuries Ago.

For originating the art Of home
brewing the Persians claim credit.
Thirty centuries ago, according to an
account. King Jamshid had a great
jar Of grapes. Pressure Of the top lay
ers on those beneath squeezed out the
juice, which fermented and became
sour. One Of the kings wives, having
learned Of the liquid in the basement,
which the king believed to be, and had
labeled poison" decided to use it to
end her life. Although she drank free
ly, instead of dying, she lost her de-
spondency, and became unusually hap
py. The king could not understand
her hilarity until she confessed.
Thereafter, 1t is related, both the mon.
arch and his court with frequent regu.
larity poisoned" themselves on homo
brew.

ARE DRAWN UP WITH WATER
Simple Explanation Of Showers Of Fish
Which Are Reported as Occasion.
ally Occurring.

Showers Of fishes occasionally fall In
different parts of the world, exciting
great astonishment. Instances Of this
kind have occurred in England. On
one occasion q shower Of small three
spined sticklebacks fell near Merthyr.
Tydvff, in Wales, sprinkling the ground
and housetops over large area. If
caught up by a whirlwind from any
of the brackish ponds near the sea, In
which this species Of fish abounds, they
must have been conveyed through the
air a distance Of almost thirty miles.
Another similar instance occurred at
Torrens, in the Isle of Null, In which
herrings were found strewed on hill
500 yards from the sea and 100 feet
above it. Such downfalls are more
common in tropical countries. In
India a shower Of fishes varying from
. pound and half to three pounds in
weight has been reported. Sometimes
the fishes are living, more frequently
they are dead, and sometimes dry or
purifying. They are always Of kinds
abundant in the sea or fresh waters OF
the neighborhood. The occurrence Of
the phenomenon is readily explained
by the partial vacuum and strong up
draught produced in the center Of q
tornado. Such a whirling column, II
passing over the surface Of lake or
river or Of the sea, may suck up con.
siderable quantity Of the water along
with any living creatures that may be
in it. This may be carried for a con-
siderable distance, and is discharged
as a waterspout or cloudburst when
the rotational energy Of the whirl is
expended.

ion that there was nothing in the

Prohibition advocates in con-
gress, soon after publication OF MIR.
Palmer's ruling, evolved the bill
which, although somewhat changed
in form, today was made a law.
ti-prohibitionists, principally ia
the senate, waged a determined
fight, with the result that final leg
islative action was held off for sew
eral months.
Treasury officials, because of the
pending legislation, withheld issU-
ance of regulations making pre-
scription of beer possible until last
month Since the regulations were
issued about a half dozen brewers
had obtained permits to manufac-
ture beer for medicinal purposes,
but owing to the numerous changes
made necessary in instructions to
prohibition directors and other Of
ficials, it is not believed that much
been has been prescribed as medi-
cine.
Limits YinOuS Liquors,
The bill signed today, in addi-
ton to outlawing medical beer,
provides that not more than one
fourth gallon of vinous liquor, or
Vinous or spirituous liquors sepa-
rately, or in the aggregate contain
ing more than one-half pint Of
alcohol, may be prescribed in 10
days; that physicians shall be lin
tied to 100 prescriptions for such
liquor in 80 days, unless extra
ordinary reason is presented that
importation of spiFituOus or yinous
liquor, is prohibited until the
amount on hand shall not be suf-
ficient to supply the current need
for non beverage uses; that private

Gus Saunders and Calvin Lester,
Arrested In Chicago, Thought TO
Have Killed Eau Claire Chief.

Chicago, Nov. 23.-Two men, be-
lieved to be those who recently
killed the chief of police of Eau
Claire, Wis, were caught here ear
ly today by a police squad.
The prisoners are Gus Saunders,

Calvin Lester, 81. Police say they
admitted being confined at Eau
Claire last July when the police
officer was killed during a Jail de-
livery.
A police squad arrested Lester
yesterday afternoon after an auto
mobile chase in which several shots
were fired. He gave them Saun-
ders' address.
A squad led by Sergeant Jack
Boschulte went to Saunders house
and broke in the door. Saunders,
police say, drew a revolver, but be-
fore he could fire Boschulte, former
prize fighter, knocked him out.
Calvin Lester, alias Colbert, at
first believed to be implicated in
the murder of the Eau Claire police
chief, was later exonerated by po-
lice. but is being held for auto
mobile theft
When taken TO the detective bu-
reau Saunders told police:
Put any rap you want against
me, but don't take me back TO Eau
Claire"
