With every league Wilson dreamed of his
wife and children of the little ranch, the babe
he had never seen.
With the exception of Andrews, possibly Joe,
he the only man forward who had the sea
in his blood. 1t had come down to him from
some prmeval, protoplasmic urge. 1t was
leaven fermenting within him: it was a call,
at times alluring, at times commanding. Love
of woman had not been able to offset 1t. The
thought of wife and children, the dream of
fruitful trees and Towering garden, of home
and fireside, could not fight against the charm
of the fenceless meadows, green and gray,
with their challenge to his adventurous spirit.
Yet he had sworn this was his last voyage
not the first time that he had made the
promise. Now he had taken OATH that he re-
newed to the photograph on his bunk board.

were now under topsails, and the Ocean Queen
seemed to have lost buoyancy.
At sunset they were under two lower topSails

pyramids that rose and dissolved in increasing
confusion. The struck tremendous blows
the laden hull strove through them. The
wind beginning to hatten their tops, to
drive forward horizontal masses of spume-like
snow fiurries. She began to take 1t over the
bows, and the scupper gates swung to let the
seething mass escape. The storm voiced itself
in roaring blasts There were f1ckers of livid
levin in the northeast; mutteringS of thunder
came from the wall of angry vapor toward
which they were heading.
BY midnight there were no stars nothing
but lowering masses of cloud. felt rather than
seen, broken ranks of raging pillows touched
with sea fire their blunted crests, hills up
which the Ocean Queen staggered poised as
she met the full fury of the bowling gale, and
then lurched down into CULTS that seemed to
widen for her destruction.

IL is an interesting story, Della
mater ard his art. Born on a farm
in Norwalk. O., Delamater was tie
youngest Of seven children. AS a
youth, JAY was always 70 DC found
hunched up. Jack-knife fashion, in
the corner Of the old sitting room,
back OF the stove, with a pencil ard
paper or blackboard, intensely inter-
ested in reproducing the things he
saw.
But Jays father was a stern gen.
tleman OF the old school and prompt
~ discouraged such tendencies ard
directed his efforts tc labor in the
fields.
Then came the Civil war. jays
father was killed N an accident and
his older brothers entered the var.
Jay was left as the sole supporter
Of he family. and his thoughts were
turned from the joys Of drawing and
painting.
The wal came to a close and De-
Lamater left home to make his own
living for himself. He entered the
lewelry business. then a trade. II
was his first glimpse OF the artistic
since boyhood. Later he took up
photography and the study Of ma
ture, not SO intent upon eking out a
mere existence.
Then he married. and In the years
that followed he became master OF
a household in which there were
five children. Again the necessities
Of life crowded out his art interests.
and he labored to raise and educate
his sons and daughters.
his wife died in 1926. His children
are now no longer dependent upon
him for support. And now, IN the
autumn Of his life, DeLamater Is
once again playing. Playing beside
the brooks arid in the weeds with a
canvas before him and a palette
and brush in hand.
Attracting Attention
He lives alone, enjoying perfect
health, and makes q comfortable liv-
ing from his little photography shop.
And now, long past the heyday CT
his life, he is attracting the atten-
ton of critics with his painting.
He does not feel that he can 20
into the cities to study under the
masters, but art livers who pass BY
his shop and step in, marvel at the
originality and vigor of his work.
The visions he had in youth are Just
as strong now as they were 70 years
ago, and he Is reproducing them on
canvas.
While repressed desires are often
forgotten and lost, not so with De-
Lamater. He was an artist by birth,
and now, III advanced years, he Is
proving II. Art distributors are de-
mnndIng his works, and he is just
playing, playing. playing.

SALARY BASIS
IS ADVOCATED
Fee System Unfavorable To
Legislative Committee
Studying New Law

AUSTIN, Jan. iS-H1-In propos-
ing additional regulation Of fees a
county officer may retain for his
remuneration and changes in laws
touching upon trusts and duties Of
officers, the legislative investiga-
eating committee declared that II
it we're not for the inhibition OF the
State constitution, It would ask the
legislature TO abolish the fee system
and place all officers on a Salaried
basis.
The committee, headed by SEN
ator Pink l.. Parrish OF Lubbock,
stated It had found some officers
admitting under oath to earnings
Of as much as $4,000 annually.
In proposed legislation to be Of
fered by the committee at the spe-
cial session. will be:
Limit officers III large counties
to a maximum remuneration OF $i2,-
500 from all sources. IL Is proposed
TO fix the minimum salary at ST.
500 for counties with less than 25,-
600 population, gradually increasing
the amount TO population up TO
100000 and over for the maximum.
Require every officer to make q
detailed accounting, including proper
and adequate records of all fees Of
office and money received Of every
kind and providing that he fife this
with commissioners court at stated
intervals.
Correct the present system by
which some county officers have
in their possession as much as $780,
600 in trust funds in daily balances,
with bond Of only $1,000 required;
also forbidding these officers to
