Then that was a few minutes | ago they heard the four long again. They'd tried to pick up the other ship with radio before. Yes; we got that here. |. Tried again and got no answer. . But they heard the blasts for half an hour. They said they seemed to be almost beside the ship once.
 But they didn't see anything. Then the blasts stopped sud den, cut off short in the middle as though something happened.
 She was blowing distress all right The Richardson's searching again now. Yes, she's search ing for boats."
 Anyone else answeredT'' Alan asked.
 ''Shore stations on both sides"
 Do they know what ship 1t is ?"
 .No."
 What ship might be there now?"
 The officer could not answer that He had known where the Richardson must be; he knew of no other likely to be there at this season. The spray from the waves had frozen upon Alan; ice gleamed and glinted from the rail and from the deck. A1an's shoulders drew up in a spasm. The Richardson, they said, was looking for boats; how long could men live in little boats ex- posed to that gale and cold?
 He turned back to the others about the radio cabin; the glow from within showed him faces as gray as his; it lighted face on the opposite side of the door-a face haggard with dread ful fright. Old Burr jerked about as Alan spoke to him and moved away alone; Alan followed him and seized his arm.
 Whats the matterP' Alan demand ed, holding to him.
 ''The four blastsI' I'' the wheelsman repeated. "They heard the four bIasts!' He iterated it once more.
 Yes" Alan urged. "Why not?"
 "But where no ship ought to be; so they couldn't find the ship-they couldn't find the shipI" Terror, of awful abjectness, came over the old man. He freed himself from Alan and went forward.
 Alan went aft to the car deck. The roar and echoing tumult of the ice against the hull here drowned all oth- CT sounds The thirty-two freight cars, in their four long lines, stood wedged and chained and blocked in place; they tipped and tilted, rolled and swayed like the stanchions and sides of the ship, fixed and secure. Jacks on the steel deck under the edges of the cars, kept them from rocking on their trucks. Men paced between the tracks, observ- Ing the movement Of the cars. The cars creaked and groaned, as they worked a little this way and that; the men sprang with sledges and drove the blocks tight again or took an addt- -ional turn upon the jacks.
 Alan saw old Burr who, on his way o the wheelhouse, had halted to lis en. For several minutes the old man stood motionIess; he came on again | md stopped to listen
 "You hear 'em?" Burr's voice qua | 7ered in Alan's ear. You hear 'em7"
 "What?" asked Alan.
 'HThe four blastsi You hear 'em | low7 The four blasts !'
 Burr was straining as he listened, | md Alan stood still too; no sound | anne to him but the noise of the | 'rorm. "No." he replied. 'I don't lear anything. Do you hear them | lowT'
 Burr stood beside him without mak- ng reply; the searchlfght, which had cen pointed abeam, shot its glare for yard, and Alan could see Burr's face a the dancing reflection of the flare. The man had never more plainly re-

old Burr of the Ferry.
CHAPTER XIV

OI0 SUIT or the crFy.
 It was in late November and while
 che coal carrier Pontiac, on which he
 was serving as lookout, was in Lake
 Superior that Alan first heard of Jim
 Burr. The name spoken among some
 ether names in casual conversation by c member of the crew, stirred and ex- cited him the name James Burr, Oc- curing on Benjamin Corvet's list, had borne opposite it the legend "All dis appeared; no trace" and Alan, whose Investigations had accounted for all others whom the list contained, had been able regarding Burr only to verify the fact tha. at the address given no one of this name was to be found.
 He questioned the oiler who had snentioned Burr. The man had met Burr one night in Manitowoc with other men, and something about the old man had impressed both his name and Image on him; he knew no more than that. At ManitowocI I-the place from which Captain Stafford's watch had been sent to Constance Sherrill and where Alan had sought for, but had failed to find, the senderl Had Alan stumbled by chance upon the one whom Benjamin Corvet had/ been un- able to tracer
 Alan could not leave the Ponsi1S and go at once to Manftowoc to seek Burr; for he was needed where he was. It was fully a week later and after the Pontiac had been laden again and had Eepassed the length of Lake Superior that Alan left th@ vessel at Sault Ste. Marie and took the train for Manito- VOC.
 The little lake port of Manitowoc, which he reached in the late afternoon, was turbulent with the lake seasons approaching close. Alan inquired for Che seamen's drinking place, where his znformant had met Jim Burr; following the directions he received he made his way along the river bank until he found 1t.
 The proprietor knew old Jim Burr yes. Burr was a wheelsman on Car ferry Number 25. He was lakeman, experienced and capable; that fact, some months before, had served as in- Production for him to the frequenters of this place. When the fezry was in harbor and his duties left him idle. Burr came up and waited there, occu- pyfng always the same chair. He never drank: he never spoke to others unless they spoke first to him, but then he talked freely about old days 1 Sn the lakes, about ships which had 1 been lost ane about men long dead.
 Alan decf3sd that there could be no | better plac1 to interview old Burr than l here: he waited therefore, and In the | oarly ev1tfng the old man came in. He ] was a slender but muscularly built man | about sixty-five, but he might 1 bs considerably younger or older than mat. His hair was completely white; his nose was thin and sensitive; his lace was smoothly placid, emotionless, his eyes were queerly cloud sd, deepset and intent.
 Those whose names Alan had found ,n Corvet's list had been of all ages, young and old; but Burr might well aave been a contemporary of Corvet

an the lakes. Alan moved over and took a seat beside the old man. [ You're from Number 25T' he asked, to draw him into conversation.
 "Yes"
 { i've been working on the carrier Pontiac as lookout. She's on her way to tie up at Cleveland, so I left her and came on here. You don't know whether there's chance for me to get e place through the winter on Number 267"
 Old Burr reflected. "One of our boys Aas been talking of leaving. I don't know when he expects to go. You snirh1basl."

old 1878 model. Not a single old
time pioneer of the west who has seen
and fingered the new silver peace dol

the new design both as detriment to
commerce and as a possible check to
an art developed to its highest point
in the early camps of the west.
For old-timers declare it is impossi-
BILE to stack the peace dollars securely
or to rifle them readily. Old-time
bankers, businessmen and gamblers
took pride in their ability to plunge
either or both hands into heap of

is mark of the pioneer to be able to
take two stacks of twenty and shuttle
them into one shining cylinder with
one hand. But the new coins have
projections on the face and back
which tend to send them topping

"In the old days." one banker de-
clared, "when the faro bank and the
dance hall were recognized part of

DID YOU KNOW THAT

Newark's sidewalks have been in
terrible condition as result OF the
storm of. a little over week ago
This is a result of many persons tali-
ing to remove the snow and the tact
that the majority of the pavements
have no slope to them and the water
all lays in the middle instead OF
draining off.
The automobile show in Whining
ton, at the Hotel DUPONT, is free and
that many persons of the town are
taking advantage of the exhibition.
Pasteurization caused more interest
than anything in town for a long
time.
Newark was not by herself in the
recent outbreak of scarlet fever as
there were many cases in all parts
of the State. Many local persons are
of the opinion that the local outbreak
was the result Of visitors here from
Wilmington which place has great
number of cases.
Clover Dairy Co., of Wilmington, IS
now serving pasteurized milk to the
people of Newark who desire this
form of milk.
The equipment of the Aetna Hook,
Hose and Ladder Co. is probably
superior to that of any other town IN
the State outside of Wilmington and
in comparison to size, as model as
that city's.
Town Council has given the first
reading to an ordinance fixing
building line for Main Street. Many
of the structures along this street at
the present time extend over the side
walk but should the ordinance now
before Council be passed it will be
necessary for all new buildings to be
at least IL feet from the outside OF
the curb.
Many automobilists use the foot
way along Depot Road when turning
their machines.
While coal and some articles OF this
nature were higher in price in New
ark than in Wilmington, food pro-
ducts as a general rule, were two and
three cents cheaper.
Newark's High School is one OF the
most antique in the State.
