Thirty-six of our boys are leaving tomorrow afternoon for Camp Dodge to prepare themselves to fight our bat- tles. It may he a long time before they come back. Their leave-taking should be one whose memories will pleasantly fill that long gap. Turn out and give them a hand. They are not departing in the full splendor of military panopoly. They go in, civilian garb, with none of the eclat and corps d’esprit associated with a uniformed, organized company. They go none the less as soldiers, as men who have taken upon their shoul- ders our burdens in this world-wide war for liberty and democracy, and the least we can do is to properly speed them on their way. Various farewell functions have been given, none of them especially in honor of the drafted men. In other counties tomorrow demonstrations oc- cupying the entire afternoon have been planned, and the occasion is be} ing observed as a half-holiday. No plans of this kind have peen made in Bismarck, but we can, every man, woman and child of us, tarn out and escort, the boys to the station and give them a hand when No. 8 pulls out. Let’s do it. The Minot Commercial Travelers have started something. OUR TIMID CONGRESSMEN. Somehow some of our congressmen never realize how funny they are. They rise solemnly and deliver pas- sionate speeches about nothing, then wonder why they are not taken seri: ously, The other day the house of repre- sentatives was considering the admin- istration’s army war insurance Dill. It is a good bill. It should, and doubt- less will, pass. It is designed to take a burden of fear from the hearts of the men in the army and navy. The man who more than anyone else wrote the bill for the administra- tion was Federal Judge Julian W. Mack. He not only gave up his vaca- -tion to draft it, but is now spending his time in Washington to explain it to anyone in congre: It seems Judge Mack committed the high crime and misdemeanor of sit- ting in the house gallery the other day, taking notes on the speeches on that bill and o jionally sending sug- gestions to those who had charge of the measure. ‘Now you can fool some people, but you can't fool Representative Walsh of Massachusetts. He is a very Sher- lock Holmes. His eagle eye spotted Mack at once. Here was a great con- spiracy to have a federal judge sit on high and dictate how the house should act. So he spouted about it. Then another alert patriot, Repre- sentative Meeker of Missouri, stepped into the breach. With eloquence Ahat must have thrilled the dreary stone statues in the “Gallery of Horrors,” Meeker exclaimed in stentorian tones: “It is a gratuitous insult to the house for a man to sit in the gallery and undertake to direct legislation.” Then warming up to the job he brayed this gem: “There is just as much propriety in a member of the bench of the United States sitting in the gallery of the house, sending notes and suggestions to the floor of the house, as there mes), woud] be for a member of this con- gress to sit in his court and send to him when he sits on the notes bench.” After some more of this kind of} joning, Representative | red the air by ing: any man here that ob- schoolboy Decker cl “If there jects to the lobby sitting there now in the person of a federal judge of the United States who, at the request of President Wilson and Samuel Gomp- ers and William G. McAdoo, has spent his time, his brains and his efforts in drafting legislation for the benefit of the men on the firing line to fight for your cause and my cause, then I say long live that kind of a lobby.” That is a complete answer. The fact is, of ourse, that the judge at- tacked was lobbying for a Dill that meant no pecuniary, political or per- sonal advantage to himself nor to those associated with him. There is a vast difference between lobbying for that kind of thing and lobbying for some of the pernicious things concerning which our vigilant statesmen have never opened their mouths. ‘ We recommend to our timid con- gressmen that before they become white with fear, they study the bills lobbied for. If they are honest bills, designed to help the people, there is no room for scare. Mandan always can change when life begins to pall. time The queen of Sweden is cousin to the kai Ha! we see the woman in the case! Our friends who persist in biting the hand that’s feeding them may awake to find that they are chewing a mailed fist. Senator Gronna, too, has made the mistake of believing that North Da. kota as a whole is un-American and pro-German. Our troops in France have been taught everything in modern warfare, except how to die. No American sol- dier needs lessons in that. There's some complaint-—by German newspapers—over the way the Rus- ns destroyed property upon evacu- ating Riga. Still, the Russians didn't have time to chop down the fruit trees. The Mandan fair, the third annual Missouri Slope agricuitural exhibition, is bigger and better than ever, an ob- ject lesson in what the Missouri val- ley can produce, even in an unfavor- able year. It opened this morning with every promise of success, and Bismarck folk, through liberal attend- ance, should do all in their power to make that promise good. The appointment of C. E. J. Taylor and F. L. members of the Bismarck special as- sessment commission for two, four and six years, respectively, confirmed by the Bismarck city commission last evening, will meet with general ap- proval. They have before ,them a more important task than has ever before been undertaken by a special assessment commission. They are men thoroughly familiar with the problem which confronts them, and ‘men Who have the best interests of their city at heart. They are men in whom every property holder fas con- fidence. Bismarck will hail with universal rejoicing the announcement made to- day by City Engineer Atkinson to the effect that with ordinarily good weath- er the paving in district No. 2 will be completed by the middle of Novem- ber, and that this will include Fourth street. Many have been deeply con- cerned for fear Fourth street would have to be left a mud-hole for the winter and early spring. Such a course is not contemplated, advises the city engineer, who believes with additional facilities which the Ford Paving company has provided the en- tire contract can be completed with- out difficulty before hard frosts come. FRED McCURDY THERE. Fred McCurdy, state’s attorney, of Burleigh county, with headquarters at Bismarck, was a visitor in the city the first of ‘the week in company with his father, J. G. McCurdy, of Tyner, and both were pleasant callers at the Chronicle office. Fred is loking fine— the pitenre of good.,health—and by the way he is doing splendid service as state's attorney at the capital city. He has done a large amount of spien- did work in hunting out and bringing to justice numerous offenders against the prohibition and moral law, clean- ing up the city and county in fine shape. Fred's old Pembina county friends are glad to hear that his offi cial backbone stands the test in right doing.——Cavalier Chronicle. CORRECTIONS.

Another man is found dead, and ajl realize Bascom, who can- not be foun the murderer. CHAPTER XXIX. The Work of a Fiend. In spite of what I knew; of the hor ror and tragedy I had just left behind; the unspeakable terror of feeling that somewhere aboard, hidden in some black corner, lurked an irresponsible being, with murder in his crazed brain; a being devoid of all impulse, save the frenzy of hate, the desire for destruc- tion, yet the sight of that cool, silent deck, alrendy darkened by the gath- ering shadows of night, calmed me, and brought back my pow- ers of reasoning. The man was not aft; then he must be forward. It was impossible to hide long on shipboard in the face of an intelligent search. Of one thing I was decided—if the fellow had, indeed, succeeded in slipping for- ward unobserved, he was never to be permitted to return aft again unseen. I would, first of all, see to it that the decks were guarded, and then the rest of us would hunt him tn his hole. “White, you remain here. in front of the cabin, and keep your eyes open. Don’t let 2 shadow get past you aft; you understand?’ “Aye, sir.” “Give me the lantern, There ts no knowing what that fellow may do; he might fire the ship, or wreck the en- gines, unless we get him in time.” “You think he’s forward, sir?” “Where else can he be? I'll put an- other man at the mainmast, and then un him down.” A _Lenyord, attracted by the gleam of ‘the lantern, leaned out over the poop rail, -- instantly | . ““That you, captain? Have you got Bascom yet?” “No; he has managed to escape, and get forward, but not without leaving another victim behind, Tony Rapello is dead in the stokehole.” “The bloody villain! ever get out of there?” “Which is more than I can figure out; stole on deck, probably, and then slipped along in the rail shadow. Where fs McCann?” “Just gone ‘forward to fix the ridin’ lamps.” “All right; sing out to him to keep his eyes on the deck, There doesn't seem to be a grent deal of wind, or sea, Mr, Leayord ; do you imagine Miss Carrington could hold the wheel for half an hour?” “I don’t see no reason why she sMouldn’t, sir; I’ve seon her do it in worse weather.” “Then ask her, please; I’m likely to need both of you if we round up that fellow. He's crazy and armed, and sure to fight hard. Pick up any weapon you can find, and come down here.” They were beside me almost instant- ly, engerly questioning as to what had occurred below, their faces expressive of the deep horror both felt at the situ- ation in which we found ourselves, Un- der other conditions I know I should have felt sincere sympathy for the sud- denly stricken Bascom, His former friendship with Vera, what I knew of his misfortunes, the very conception of the man’s character which I had formed myself during. our brief ac- quaintance on board, all tended to 1 make the man an object of pity. Tho murders he had committed were but the result of a diseased brain, the sud- den snapping of ‘responsibility. 1 could not hate the man, or seck him evil—but I could dread him, That was the whole of it—dread!, Here was a man crazed, murderously insane, who had safely tasted blood, whose insan- ity had been caused by fear, and brood- ing over a great wrong, In his disor- dered brain a mad, desperate desire for revenge had overshadowed all else, To obtain this no deed was Impossible, no crime teo Hideous, And this creature was hidden somewhere between decks, and, unless discovered and made cap- tive, held in his hands the fate of every soul on board, The thought of what he might do during the black darkness of the night terrorized me. At any cost we must have him within our control; we dare not even wait fo hope that the man might reveal himself—we must go after him, crawling:in the dark, feeling within crevice amd cavity, until we uncovered his hiding place, I explained this quickly to the two men, hiding none of my own fear, but naking them comprehend the des- perate need of thorough and ceaseless search, The look on their faces evi- denced that my words had gone home. “He's forward, sir; ‘that’s clear enough,” insisted Leayord. “We'll nab the fellow In the fo'cagtle yonder 20 cordin’ to my notion. What do yer say, Red?” ’ “That's how. I lay it'out,” coincided the big sailor, clinching and unclinch- ing his hands, ain’t no way I know how he could git into the hold with the hatches down; so thar ain’t nothin’ left except the to’castle, an’ the forepeak. We'll find the cuss thar. all. right, sir.” Their confidence had its effect on me. x “Good; White and. McCann will guard every inch of the deck, while we take the forecastle first, Bring the lan- tern, Leayord.”. § The door was two-thirds. shut, and we slid it wide open to:gain entrance, feeling our way cauttously down the steps. The place had never been a sea-parlor,. but now, deserted by the crew, it presented as dismal a scene, in the dim light of the lantern, as ever I put my foot into. The alr was foul with bilge-water, while rotting gur- ments hung to the beams above, or were strewn along the deck. The shad- ows were grotesque and hideous, and much of the space wag cluttered up by discarded sea boots, battered chests and miscellaneous riffraff which the men had left behind in their flight. I stopped at the foot of the steps, but Leayord and Red advanced to the tier of bunks, the former lifting the lan- tern, while the latter took survey with- How did he 1 Stopped at the Foot of the Steps. ;{n each, We found no trace of Bas- | com, but at that I was glad enough to be back again on the open deck, breath- | ing in the fresh night air.

TRIM cathe next, and T explored the Iutter luyself, as there was scarcely room in the narrpw spuce fur even one to creep about. Pushing the lantern before me, every nerve singing like a copper wire, I crawled out at last, dripping with perspiration, and as black as though [ had been for half a day in the coul hole, To Leayord’s inquiries I could only shake my head, “Well, sir,” he said obstinately, “I'm a sailorman, but I never did believe in ghosts, an’ I ain’t a-goin’ fer ter believe in ’em now. It warn’t no spooks what did this job. This yere Bascom was a sure enough huiman the last time I put eyes on him, an’ I don’t reckon he's changed much since, ’cept maybe in his line o’ brains; do you, sir?” “He’s flesh and blood, -all right, if that is what you mean; only insanity makes them cunning.” “That's what I sed to Red here while you was crawling ‘round in the fore- peak, lappin’ up bilge-water. He reck- oned it might o’ bin a ghost a doin’ these things; but I claimed thet ghosts don’t shove knives into - sailormien; leastways I never heard o’ none that did, So it naturally stands to reason, sir, that this bloomin’ lunatic is still jaboard somewhere.” He leaned forward, striking one hand on the other to better express his argu- ment, tention to his words, my eyes un- consciously viewing the ship aft. The deck was so wrapped in gloom that outside the radius of our lantern I could perceive no movement, not even determine the presence of the two men left on guard.. The two. masts, with. their heavy spars, cast all below: irito dense shadow, but beyond, on the poop, the fyint rays of the binnacle lamp re- flected softly on the face of the girl at the wheel, making her appear almost as a vision, The sight for an instant fascinated me, “Ain't thet so, sir?” “Why, yes, Leayord; I am unable’to see it any other way—but where?” “Well, there ain’t- but one place aboard unexplored, sir. Hanged if I know how he ever got there, but he’s either there, overboard, or aloft; or else I’ve got to take off my hat to Red here, an’ acknowledge it’s a real ghost we've got aboard the old hooker.” “The cargo hold?” “Aye, nye; I'm fer takin’ off the hatches, and letting a man or two creep down there; we've got to find out where that devil is.” There was no answering his logic, and a determination to complete the Job was already in my own mind. “Get the tarpaulin out of the way, | Liverpool,” I said sharply, throwing the lantern where the light was need- “Cut it loose, man; don’t waste time with the lashings; there’s plenty of spare canvas in the sailroom. What's stowed first below; Mr. Leayord?” “That’s the devil of it, sir,” he re- plied soberly. “I never told you, for T didn’t see no cause. There was:a lot o’ boxes come on board, sir, maybe n thousand of ’em, the ends clamped with ‘ron, an’ they was almighty heavy. We had to load ’em with the donkey ep gine, an’ most of ‘em were dumped In jist below the main hatch.” “Do you know what they contained?” “Mr. Bascom told me they was army stoves, sir, and maybe he thought they | Was, fer he seemed sure about it; but | along at the last the hook slipped oft one of them, an’ the box dropped about thirty feet, smashin’ the whole end {ip <-it was plumb full o” loaded shells.” “Loaded shells?” “That’s. what; there was powder enough scattered about there ter blow the whole ship to-Hades an’ back.” I was thinking, paying little at- | theré Wien Teed tana aerp Tip up That tarpaulin; now get the point of this capstan bar under the hatch clos- ings; here’s your lever—it’ll take the welght of the three of us to move the iron—now, heave ho!" We bent to it, exerting every ounce of strength, encouraged by the fact that the heavy hatch ylelded to our lift over the grooves, and shove back slightly. With no other thought but to gain opening enough for another inser- tion of the lever, we bent to the task. Something caught, rendering the great. Iron ld immovable. “White,” I called, “come over here, and give us a hand.” I heard him patter across the deck in lis bare feet, but before he reached the bar, the fellow stopped, staring at , the narrow opening, and sniffing like a pointer dog. “Lay hold!” I called out angrily. ky “The weight is breaking our backs.” “But there’s fire below, sir,” he roared excitedly. “That’s smoke a risin’ out the hatch—the cargo’s afire !” I saw it now, and so did Red, and the mate—a thin, circling vapor barely per- {ceptible in the night, curling up through the hole we had succeeded in j forcing. For an instant I hardly knew {t as smoke, but the fresh draught of alr had already worked its miracle, and the wisp thickened as I stared Into a threntening black cofl, darting up- ward into our very faces. I dropped upon my knees, shding my. mouth as best I might, and sought to peer down into the black void between decks. Away forward a red eye winked out of the darkness, then another, and a third. Tleaped to my feet, reallzing there was no hope, nothing we could do but get away allve—and, If we were even to do this, every second was worth a king’s ransom. “She's afire forward!” I exclaimed, striving to control my voice. “That is where the fellow was, and he’s done the job; there’s no stopping her now.” “There’s plenty of hose forward.” “But the donkey engine is not con- nected, and we dare not take chances with all those explosives below. Heav- ens, man, we mny go sky high any sec- ond. Don’t stand talking; get over the dinghy, It’s the only boat we have; haul her aft and swing her to these falls below the after-hatch—that will give us a chance to get away, perhaps, Jump now, the three of you. No! wait! Red and Leayord can rig the boat, and Tl give you a hard when you hook on. McCann, get a beaker of water in, and some biscuits, we'll have no time for anything else. ‘Hurry men! there’s flame breaking through now!” There was; a red serpent, sticking its ugly head up the hatch opening, the The men seemed fairly paralyzed at I drove them, even using hands and feet in my mad desire for action. “Aft with {t now—aft with it. will be a mass of flames amidship in five minutes. Is there water in that keg, McCann? Then throw it in!—now the biscuits. Miss Carrington—Vera !” “Yes, Captain Hollis.” “Can you hold to the wheel a few moments longer?—till I come for you?” “Yes.” “Call down the tnbe to the engine- room; tell Masters und Olson to come on deck at once—as quick as they can foot the ladder.” combined effort, and began to move, to; helped hurry ovr movemeits, T saw Masters and Olson emerge from the |shaft, stare at the red glare, and run toward us. Ihave a vague impression that McCann burst out of the compan- jon, a bag of sea-biscuits In his arms, and flung It into the stern-sheets of the dinghy. He must have done go, for later the biscuits were there. But it was impossible to think of these things, to see clearly, to realize just what was happening. Every second I expected the ship's deck to rend asunder under our feet, blowing every human being aboard into atoms. “Overhaul those pulleys, Leayord; no, we'll load at the rail, and lower the boat itself—are there oars? that’s it; stow ‘em. Olson, to the wheel with you; take a couple turns about it with f rope’s end, and:help the girl down. Over the side Red, and ship the tiller; now Inds, over with you. Masters, you and Leayord Iny hold of the ropes— don’t lost your heads now and lower too fast. Here, Red, help the lady; step quick, dear; yes, I'll come—are you all in? now where’s, McCann?” (To be continued.)

This motion was seconded by Commissioner Bertsch: BE IT RESOLVED, By the board of city commissioners of the city of Bis- marck, North Dakota, that it is neces- sary and that the board of ‘city, com- missioners hereby declare it to be necessary to construct paving on Ros- ser street from the east line of Fifth ghastly light glimmering in our faces. | this sudden outburst of new horror, but ' all . “Yes, sir.” The cool quietness of her voice calmed me as though she had pressed her hand on my brow in fever.
