RSSO N e s B PAGE TWO THE BEMIBJST DAILY PIONEER .- (Continued from last issue) Tt appeared that no one remembered, not even Mr. Gibney. He therefore continued: ® “The chair will app'int Mr. McGuf- fey an’ himself a committee o' two to wait on one o' these here clairvoy- ants and have their fortunes told agin.” McGuffey, who was as superstitious as a negro, seconded the motion heart- jly and the committee forthwith sal- lied forth to consult the clairvoyant. Within the hour they returned. “Members o’ the syndicate,” the com- modore announced, “we got an idea. Not a heluva good ene, but fair to middlin’. Me an’ Mac calls on this Madame de What-you-may-call-her an’ the minute she gets a lamp at my mit (it is worthy of remark here that Mr. Gibney had a starfish tattooed on the back of his left hand, a full-rigged ship across his breast, and a gorgeous pic- ture of a lady climbing a ladder adorned the fnner side of his brawny right forearm. The feet of the lady in question hung down below the fringe of Mr. Gibney’s short sleeve) she got up an' says: ‘My friend, you're mak- in’ a grave mistake remainin’ ashore. Your fortune lies at sea.’ Then she threw a fit an’ mumbled something about a light-haired man that was goin' to cross my path. I guess she must have meant Scraggsy or Neils both bein’ blondes—an’ she come out of her trance shiverin’ an’ shakin’. “‘Your' fortune lles at sea, my friend,” she kept on sayln’. ‘Go forth an’ seek it.’ “‘Glmme the longitude an' latitude, maam,” I says, ‘an’ I'll go out.” “‘Look {n the shippin’ news in the “Meetin’ o' the Maggie Syndicate in My Room,”” He Bawled. “I've Found Our Fortune.” papers tomorrower, ‘Five dollars, please.’” “You didn't give her five dollars, did you?' gasped Captaln Scraggs. “Why, Gib, my dear boy, ! thought you was sober.” “So T was." “Then, Gib, all T got to say is that you're a sucker. You waunt to consult the rest of us before you go throwin' away the funds o' the syndicate on such tom-fool idees as—" McGuffey saw a storm gathering oa she plpes up. Mr. Gibney's brows, and hastened to intervene, : “Meetin's adjourned,” he announced, “pendin’ the issue o' the papers to- nmorrow mornin’, Scraggsy, you oughter jine the Band o Hope. You're ugly when you got a drink in you."” Nells Halvorsen interfered to beg a cigar of Mr, Gibney and the affair passed over, At six o'clock the following morn- ing the numbers of the syndicate were awuakened by a prodigious pounding at their respective doors. Answering the summons, they found Mr. Gibney in undress uniform and the morning paper chitched in his hand. “Meetin' o' the Maggle my voom,” he bawled. our fortune.” The weeting came to order without the formality of dressing. and the commod spreading the paper on his knee, read aloud: “FOR SALE CHEAP “The stern-wheel steamer Victor, well found, staunch and newly'painted. Bollers and engines in excellent shape. Vessel must be sold to close out an estate, Address John Coakley, Jack- son Street whart.” “How d'ye know she's a fortune, QGib?” McGuifey demanded. _“Lemme yndicate in I've found fohk at tier: engines before you get excited.” “I ain’t saying she is,” Mr. Gibney retorted testily. “Lemme finish read- in’1” He continued: “REPORTS PASSING DERELICT “The stenm schooner Arethusa, Grays Harbor to Oakland Long wharf, reports passing a derellct schooner twenty miles off Point Reyes at six o'clock last night. The derelict was down by the head, and her rail just showed above the water. It was im-, possille to learn her identity. “The presence of this derelict in the steamer lanes t:: North Pacific ports Is a distinct menace to nuviga- tion, aud It is probuble that a revenue catter will be dispatched today to search for the derelict and either tow her into port or destroy her.” “Gentlemen o' the syndicate, them's the only two items in the shippin’ page that looks likely. The question is, in which lles our fortune?” Neils BEalvorsen spoke up, giving It as his cpinton that the fortune-teliing Indy probably koew her business and that thelr fortune really lay at sea. The derelict was at sea. How else, then, could the prophecy be inter- pretea? “Well, this stemmer Victor isn't ex- actly traveling overland,” McGuffey sugeested. He had a secret hankering to wess around some real engines again, and gave At as his opinion that fortune was move likely to lurk in a soiid stern-wheel steamer with good engines and bollers th:an in a battered hulk at sea. Captain Scraggs agreed with bim most hefartily and a tie vote resulted, Mr, Glbney inclining toward the derelict. “What're we| goin® to do about it, Gib?” Captein Scraggs demanded. “When in doubt, Scraggsy, old tar- pot, alwnys play! trumps. In order to make no mistal®e, right after break- | fast you an’ McGuffey go down to Jackson street ;wharf am’ interview this man Coakley about his steamer Victor. You been goln’ to sea long gh to know. a good hull when you see it, an’ if we can’t crast Mac to know u good sgt of inner works we’'d better disrolve fthe syndicate. As for me an’ Nells, twe'll go down to the Front an’ charter a tug an’ chase out fter that thene derelict before the revenue cutter gets her an’ blows her out o the path o’ commerce with a stick o' dynamfite.” Forthwith Mr. Gibney and Nells, after snatching) a hasty breakfast, de- parted for the fwaterfront, where they chartered n 0fg for three days and | put to sew. At about ten o'clock Cap- toin Scraggs Fnd McGuffey strolled lelsurely downfto Jackson street wharf to fnspect thed Vietor. By noon’ they hud completeddn most satisfactory in- spection of the steamer's hull and boilers, and baught her in for seven thousand dolldrs. Captain Secraggs was delighted. |He said she was worth ten thousand. | Already he had de- cided that he¢avy and profitable freights awaited| tbe syndicate along the Sacramento jiver, where the farm- ers and orchardists had bheen for years the vlcflnsfi of a monopoly and a gentlemen's agieement between the two steamboat ‘lAnes that plied be- tween Sucramengtos Stockton and San Fraocisco. On the aftermoonMof the third day Mr. Gibney and Neiis Halvorsen re- turned from sea. ‘Iey were unutter- ably weary and ¢hollow-eyed for lack of sleep. “Well, I suppwse you two suckers found that derelidt,” challenged Me- Guffey. “Yep. TFound her am’ got a line nbunrd/nn' towed per fm, an’ it was a tough job. She's|layin’\over on the Berkeley tide flats,fan’ at\lowtide to- morrow we'll go jover amt find out what we've got.

For the past five years I have been unable to eat any but the lightest food and that but sparingly, as any food:caused me to bloat witl gas. I.was reduced to a skeleton of ninety pounds, and was on the road to the boneyard.

THE “OLD OAKEN BUCKET” COMING TO ELKO WEDNESDAY What is it that makes a poem, a song, or a piece of literature live in the minds of the public. It may be its literary value, it may be its subject ,or it may be the chord that it touches the heart of humanity Certainly the **Old Oaken Buéket,” a very simple and homely poem, is known wherever the English lang- uage is spoken and the simplicity and quality that has made it live in the hearts and minds of the pub- lic has been successfully caught by the camera and transplanted on the screen, Picture fans are due for a genuine “movie treat” when the screen ver- sion of this famous old song is given it premiere at the Elko theater next Wednesday afternoon and evening. “RED FOAM” AT THE ELKO THEATER AGAIN TONIGHT A man and a woman handcuffed together stand at bay howling mob who seek their life.

Ham- by's stirring story is laid. In addition to the players above named, the cast includes Harry Tig- he, Freeman Barnes, Peggy Worth, and several other well liked and familiar photoplayers.

Farrell (United Press Staft Correspondent) New York, May 16.—While sprint records and field marks have been consistently shattered in the past two (years, the quarter-mile record of 47 4-5 seconds made by the great Ted Meredith in 1916 is one of the few that have remained beyond the reach of the present day super-stars. How long Meredith will remain as the fastest man of all times at 440- yards seems to be up to the willing- ness of Allen Woodring, of Syracuse university, the . Olympic 200-meter champion, to go ‘out for it. Not excepting Charley Paddock, the Pacific coast flyer, Woodring has been regarded as the fastest man in the world today at 220 yards, but owing to his rather slight build he had been_consi a_record: FASTEST MAN IN WORLD'! making possibility at a quarte until the Penn relay games recently. Running as anchor man for Syra- cuse in the one-mile college relay championship, Woodring got away seven yards -behind Bill Stevenson, Princeton captain and the national quarter-mile champion. Woodring - ran him off his fect and won the race after doing a quarter in the unoffi- cial time of 47 4-5, equalling the world’s record. Considering the fact that theyt';‘r_n- ers all caught him the same and that the event was run late in the after- noon, whan . the track \vz\sAchop‘pg% to pieces, by two days of incessan pounding and - cutting, the perform- ance was phenomenal. If he maintains the form he had in that race, there is little doubt that Woodring will be able to make a new record for the quarter on the Harvard track in June, if he goes out for that event in the intercollegiate champion- ships.
