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 ineficiency 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 it said, whenever he believed him.
self to have fighting chance Scraggs
would fight and fight well, under the
Tom-cat rules of fisticuffs.
Following bloody battle in the pilot
house, he subdued the mate; following
his victory he was still war mad, so
he went to the engine-room hatch and
abused the engineer. AS a 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 so 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 as
Mr.. Gibney and Mr.. McGuffey might
have been and doubtless were, each
possessed in bounteous measure the
sweetest of human attributes, to-wit:
a soft, kind heart and forgiving spir-
it. Creatures of impulse both. they
found it absolutely impossible to nour-
ish a grudge against Captain Scraggs,
when, upon returning to Scab Johnny's

them a grubby note from their enemy.
1t was short and sweet and sounded
quite sincere; Mr.. Gibney read it
aloud:
"On Board the Maggie, Saturday night.
Dear Friends:
am sorry. You hurt me awful with
yOur hidden when vou took the Chesa
peake away from me. To er is human
but to forgive is devine. After what
1 done don't expect you two to come
back to work ever but for Gods sake
don't give me the dead face when we
meat agin. Remember we been ship
mates once.
"P. P. Scraggs."
'Why, the pore OF son of a horse
thief" Mr.. Gibney murmured, much
moved at this profound abasement.
"Of course we forgive him. 1t amt
manly to hold crouch after the cuI-
prit has paid his fair price for his
sins. By an large, 1 got a hunch,
Bart, that old Scraggsy's had his les
son for once"
'If you can forgive him, I can, Glib"
well, he's certainly cleaned him
self handsome, Bart. Telephone for
a messenger boy" and MIR. Gibney
sat down and wrote:
'Seraggsy, old fancfful, we're square.

Odd Fellows Hall and Business Block
Threatened BY Blaze Early
Saturday Evening.

Fire starting IN the oil house in the
rear of the Fulton grocery store in
Aberdeen early Saturday evening
threatened to destroy the building
proper which house the Boswell dry
goods store and the Odd Fellows lodge
room. The building is owned by the
Aberdeen Odd Fellows.
The outbuildings, in which coal oil
and gasoline was housed, were com
pletely destroyed and the rear of the
building proper caught. An appeal for
aid was sent the Maysville Fire De-
partment and they responded with the
Uncle Bob" auxiliary fire fighting
machine. Chief Newell, and Firemen
Reed and Brookover manned the ma
chine and upon their arrival, soon
had thte fire under control by the use
of chemicals.
The fire was located in the very
heart of the Aberdeen business district
and had not the local firemen gone to
the rescue of the volunteers, the blaze
would have been very destructive. II
was extinguished. however, before it
did any great damage to the building
proper.

Three Great Services at Third Street
Church Sunday - Building
, IL Crowded by the
\. ThrOng.

The revival at the Third Street M. e.
church is assuming mammoth proper
tions as to attendance and interest
The climax for crowds came with the
Sunday evening service when every
available seat was taken, all chairs
that could be had were used, and
standing room was at premium The
church was also filled for the Moth
ers and Daughters" service In the af-
ternoon. 1t was great day. Evangel-
ist Calls was keyed up for the occa-
Sion and preached as never before.
The womens service in the afternoon
was especially impressive "The Man
That Sleeps In Church" the evening
subject was handled in a mastery
manner. Awake Thou That Sleep
est" was the text. The whole sermon
was an urgent warning against per-
mitting Satan to so deaden the life
that there is no awakening.
The big chorus choir Is now In great
working order Prof Grenfel is surely
giving proof OF his ability as an Or
ganizer and musical director. That
such large chorus could be formed
and he made to sing as It does in short
time seems nothing short OF marvel
for n Maysville church. Many new and
catchy choruses are being learned and
sung, Just those kind Of songs that
keeps one humming over them to him

The special musical numbers by vio-
lin. flute and piano were the best yet.
"The Palms" was played at the morn

gem In itself Altogether the Callis-
Grefel party is far exceeding all ex-

FEDERAL OWNERSHIP
Of COAL Mines IS
URGED BY LEWIS
Union Chief Appearing Before Con-
gressiOnal Committee Advises Gov.
ernment Ownership of All
Coal Mines.

Washington, April 8, - NATIONAL
ization of the country's coal mines was
seriously suggested" to Congress to-
day by John l.. Lewis, president of the
United Mineworxers, appearing before
thte House Labor Committe, which is
seeking a solution of the present
strike.
Naturalization, Lewis told the
committee is the inevitable remedy
for the ills of the coal situation, which,
he said, the operators have refused to
remedy. ~
"The mineworkers," said Lewis
have been waiting, with ever growing
impatience. for many years, hoping to
be able to detect some signs that the
operators were awakening to the real
ization of their duties. But so far
nothing has been accomplished
"And so it is that the mineworkers
say there now seems to be no hope ex-
cept through naturalization. No rem-
edy has been offered by the operators
and, in default Of any other remedy,
the mineworkers seriously suggest
that the government take over and
operate the mines.
1--WE do not do this through any mis-
chevious or wanton spirit. We have no
desire to advocate irredemiable steps
in any direction, But we see that it
is inevitable that, sooner or later, the
government must tatke the step of
naturalization, because We have
given up all hope of relief from the
operators and, convinced as we are
that it is step in the right direction.
we urge its consideration upon Con-
gress.
"If the owners will not set their
house in order the public must step in
and enforce order because, in democ-
racy such as This. no set of men,
ir the ranks of labor or OF
capital, can be allowed permanently
