This note, delivered to Captain

the gloom from the latter's miserable
soul and sent him home with light
heart to Mrs. Scraggs. At the Mari

touched to observe that both Glbney

dreams Of avarice, bordered SO close

mental resolve to play fair In the
future-at least as fair as the limits
Of his cross-grained nature would per-

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 circle just outside the
warehouse door. There was an air
Of suppressed excitement about this
group Of Jews that aroused Mr.. Glib

over and investigate, being Of the opin-
lon that possibly one Of their number
had fallen In a at. He had once had
an epileptic shipmate and was pecu-

CHAPTER VII.

When Captain Scraggs, after aban-
doning all hope Of salving the bark
Chesapeake, returned to, the Maggie,
the little craft reminded him Of moth
ing so much as the ward for the in
corrigible Of an insane asylum. Due
to Captain Scraggs' stupidity and the
general inefficiency of the Maggie, the
new navigating officer was of the opin-
ion that he had been swindled out of
his share Of the salvage, while the new
engineer, furious at having been en-
gagged to baby such ruin as the Mag
gie's boiler turned out to be, blamed
Scraggs' parsimony for the loss Of his
share Of the salvage. Therefore, both
men aired with the utmost frankness
their opinion Of their employer. One
word borrowed another until diplomat
ic relations were severed and, In the
language Of the classic, they mixed
It." They were fairly well matched,
and, to the credit of Captain Scraggs
be 1t said, whenever he believed him.
self to have fighting chance Scraggs
would fight and fight well, under the
Tom-cat rules Of fisticuffs.
Following a bloody battle in the pilot
house, he subdued the mate; following
his victory he was still war mad, 80
he went to the engine-room hatch and
abused the engineer. Az q result Of
the days events, both men quit when
the Maggie was tied up. at Jackson
street wharf and once more Captain
Scraggs was helpless. In his extrem-
ity, he wished he hadn't been 30 hard
on Mr.. Gibney and McGuffey, for he
realized he could never hope to get
them back until their salvage money
should be spent.
Goddess and wholly irreclaimable a.
Mr.. Gibney and Mr.. NcGuffey might
have been and doubtless were, each
possessed in bounteous measure the
sweetest Of human attributes, to-wit:
q soft, kind heart and q forgiving spir-
1t. Creatures Of impulse both. they
found 1t absolutely impossible to nour-
ish grudge against Captain Scraggs,
when, upon returning to Scab Johnny's
boarding house, their host handed
them a grubby note from their enemy.
1t was short and sweet and sounded
quite sincere; Mr.. Gibney read It
aloud:
ION Board the Maggie. Saturday night.
Dear Friends:

peake away from me. To jer Is human

The ship lay In the wind, shlvering.
Mr.. Gibney was here, there, every
where. One minute he was dashing
along the deck with a leading line, the
next he was laying out aloft. He or
dered himself to do thing and then,
with the pent-up energy of thousand
devils, he did 1t. The years Of degra-

on readily on to her course, slipping
through the water at nice eight-knot
speed. Ten miles Off the coast, Mr..

headed north. At three o'clock she

her on her course again while McGuf-

Glencoe, ILL, July 12-(By the. A. P.)

 Generally, championship golf matches are played, rain lor shine, and it was not through any sympathy for the players that today's play was call ed off after a conference of U. S. G. A. officials, when the rain showed no signs of cessation at 10 a. m. It was because the course was simply unplay- able.
 Two thirds of the 18th fairway was under six inches of water The first and second greens were small lakes and all along every fairway were nu- merous ponds twenty and thirty yards square.
