CHAPTER TX.


Even after allowing for the expendi-
lures on the engine weighing heavily
on Captain Scraggs, that individual
continued morose and more than ever
inclined to be sarcastic. Mr. Gibney
commented ,on the fact to Mr.. McGuf-
fey.
Hes troubled financially, Glib"
''Well, you know who troubled him,
don't you, BartY
81 mean about the cost O. them re-
pairs in the engine room. Unless he can
come through in thirty days with the
balance he owes, the boiler people are
goin' to libel the Maggie to protect
their claim"
Mr.. Gibney arched his bushy eye
brows. 'e'How do you know?" he de-
manded.
He was a-tellin' me-" Mr.. McGuffey
admitted weakly.
"Well, he wasn't a-tellin' me-" Mr..
Gibney's tones were ominous; he
glared at his friend suspiciously as
from the Maggie's cabin issued forth
Scraggsy's voice raised in song.
Hello! The old boys thermome-
ter's gone up, Bart. Listen at him.
Ever O. thee he's fondly dreamin'.
Somethin's busted the spell an I'll
bet a cooky it was ready cash." He

Uron a night, which happened to
be Scraggs' night off, and when he
was particularly lonely and inclined
to drown his sorrows in the Bowhead
saloon, he was approached by Scah
Johnny, and invited to repair to the
latters dingy Office for the purpose OF
discussing what Scab Johnny guard.
edly referred to as a proposition"
Upon arrival at the Office, Captain
Scraggs was introduced to a small
fierce-looking gentleman Of tropical ap.
pearance, who owned to the name OF
Don Manuel Garcia Lopez. Scab John
ny first pledged Captain Scraggs to
absolute secrecy, and made him swear
by the honor of his mother and the
bones of his father not to divulge a
word of what he was about to tell him
Scab Johnny was short and to the
point. He stated that, as Captain
Scraggs was doubtless aware, if he
perused the daily papers at all, there
was a revolution raging in Mexico
His friend, Senior Lopez, represented
the under-dogs in the disturbance, and
was anxious to secure a ship and
nervy sea captain to land a shipment
of arms in Lower California. 1t ap-
peared that at a sale Of condemned
army goods held at the arsenal at
Benicia, Senor Lopez had, through
Scab Johnny, purchased two thousand
single-shot Springfield rifles that had
been retired when the militia regiments
took up the Krag. The Krag in turn
having been replaced by the modern
magazine Springfield, the old single
shot Springfelds, with one hundred
thousand rounds of 1870 ball cart
ridges, had been sold to the highest
bidder. In addition to the small arms,
Lopez had at present in a warehouse
three machine guns and four 3-inch
breech-loading pieces of field artillery
(the kind of guns generally designated
as a "jackass battery" for the reason
that they can be taken down and trans
ported over rough country on mules)
together with a supply Of ammuni-
tion for same.
"Now, then," Scab Johnny contin-
ued, "the job that confronts us is to

tive, while the Rev Major Jones,
formerly pastor Of the Baptist church
in Douglas, Arizona, will uphold the

The honest McGuffey hung his head.

"Well, Scraggsy was feelin' so dog

"The TRUTH" Mr.. Gibney insisted
firmly, "the truth, Bart"
"Well, Scraggsy asked me not to say
anythin to you about it."
"Sure. He knew I'd kill the deal.
He knew better'n to try to nick me for
three hundred bucks Eon his DANCED,
worthless note. Bart, why'd you do
it?"
"Oh, h-ll, Glib, be a good feller,"
poor McGuffey pleaded. Don't be

"You poor, misguided simp. If you

McGuffey, smothered in guilt, felt
nevertheless that he had to stand by

is ship. How about the Maggie?"
I'D have to spend about two thous-
and dollars on her to put her in condi-
tion for the voyage" Scraggs replied.
"Can do" Scab Johnny answered him
briefly, and Senor Lopez nodded ac-
quiescence. "You discharge on a light
er at Descanso bay about twenty miles
below Ensenada. What'll it cost us?"
'"Ten thousand dollars, in addition
to fixin' up the Maggie. Half down
and half on delivery I'm riskin' my

Again Senior Lopez nodded. What
did he care? 1t wasn't his money.
''Pll furnish you with our own crew
just before you SAIL" Scab Johnny con-
tinued. "Get busy"
"Gimme thousand for preliminary
expenses" Scraggs demanded. "After
that Speed is my middle name."
The charming Senior Lopez produced
the money in crisp new bills and, per-
feet gentleman that he was, demanded
no receipt. AS matter of fact,
Scraggs would not have given him one.
The two weeks that followed were
busy ones for Captain Scraggs. The
day after his interview with Scab
Johnny and Don Manuel he engaged
an engineer and deck hand and went
UP the Sacramento to bring the Mag
gle down to San Francisco. Upon
her arrival she was hauled out on
the marine ways at Oakland creek,
cleaned, caulked, and some new cop
per sheathing put en her bottom. She
was also given dash Of black paint,
had her engines and boilers thorough

shipped new propeller that would
add at least knot to her speed. Al

Mrs. Youngblood Tells of Soldiers
 and 0f G0dnlothers in France

| French soldiers pay Is so very small.
 My mother adopted some and 1 did too, as We wanted to make them feel that some one was individually interested in each of them. All l had adopted though were killed and it was awfully depressing to me and made me fell very unhappy.
 When Americans Came
 When the Americans ca @ they dld not need material care, IS there were so many splendid societies to look after them besides their government.
 There were many soldiers, though, who wanted to know some of the really nice people and consequently desired to become acquainted with the French language, that they might have entrance into families.
 French women.' said Mrs. Yoeng- blood. had charge of a D. per calle1 the Journal des Marraines." This being interpreted means the Journal of the Godmothers.' Many of the sol diers sent their names to this paper and through correspondents many American boys learned to write and speak French. By replying to some of these soldiers I again was a god- mother to soldiers and wrote letters in my broken English to several American soldiers"
 One of these godsons was MT. John Youngblood, who returned to France this summer for his lovely bride.
 French People Honor Memories of
 Soldiers
 Mrs. Youngblood continued: "The graves of the American soldiers ara very dear to the French reople and they are never neglected, but are cared for and are covered with flow CTS.
 "An American gentleman whose son had been killed at Chateau Thierry did net want his sons body brought to America. but preferred that it should rest where he had fallen. The grave was upon farm and the father offered the farmer money to care for it. No. replied the farmer. My friend, keep your money. I shall always be henored to keep and care for that grave
 'The French people feel that America and the Americans can never be repaid for their wonderful service.
