your chief trouble?"
That's it. All the others are dom
their share, but he can't seem to
make the Queen earn like she did,
and we're so close-hauled as your
father'd say, we feel it. Satterlee's a
good man, L guess, but there's a leak
somewhere money or business
''Stealing?"
Maybe not right out like that.
But l hear from the China boats that
Cap'n Nicholson and Satterlee are
pritty thick together. Nickelsen's
master o the Queen-they may be in
to pick up a little kum-shaw.''
"kum-shaW?" She had heard her
father use the word, and CROPPED in
her memory for its meaning.
What the Chinese call it-graft-
under-handed money. Sometimes a
master of ship gifts to runnin' things
on his own hook-takin' freights at
low rates for a private commission.
They can. if the agent stands in. I'm
s'prised If it's so about Nickelsen. He's
been with us fourteen years, mate
and master now"
Il suppose something has to be
done. How would father go about
it? You know his methods. Tell me
what he'd do-and We'll do it,
He'd haul Satterlce and Nicholson
over the Goals. But a cable signed
Tweedles' amt got The kick to it
that a good scarin' up signed Glen
dom would have. They don't mind"
VERY WELL" said Miss Glendon,
reaching for a sheet of paper and a
pencil. Just how would father
scare them up? Dictate a cable?'
Well said Tweedles, smiling and
Juggling at his whiskers, its be
somethin' like this:
'Satterlee, Manila. No excuse
poor reports last few months. Cut
expenses. You and Nicholson get
sixty days TO show increased earnings
or get out. Glendon.'
"Of course, with this new tangled
way of sendin' cables in code, it
don't look so bad at first sight. The
capn didn't believe in code for such
messages-said he liked to hand a
man a jolt. But maybe we better
code it,
No, we won't code it, said Elean-
or, as she finished writing. Send it
exactly as written. Well give them
one of fathers jolts."

"a CONNECTICUT YANKEE"
AT FOX'S ALL THIS WEEK

Mark Twain, peer of American
humorists, worked and lived in the
city of Hartford, scarce ten miles
from here. Today his memory is loved
by all and one of his greatest master
pieces, "A Connecticut Yankee in King
Arthurs Court opened for a week S
run at Fox's theater. Replete with
genuine comedy filled with side split
ting episodes this picture surpasses all
others of it's kind. Mark Twain's inten-
ton was to poke fun at the old knights
of the Round Table, he being of the
belief that people paid to much atten-
ton to eulogizing, those old timers at
the expense of the present generation
This story was the result. The sight
of seeing armored knights sallying
forth to battle on 1921 motorcycles,
the aspect of a dignified baron start
ing forth for tournament in a little
tin lizzie-these are but side lights of
this mirth provoking spectacle. Martin
Cavandish, chief character is of old
New England stock. Having reveled
in reading of old King Arthur's court
self when he is suddenly transpIanted
there. The bling of the castle does
not appeal to him, he finds it hard
not to have a telephone at his elbow
and the loss of his automobile and a
dearth of trains makes his lot even
harder. But withal, the young Yankee
finds himself a match for the old
