I’m in my rights. There's the door, mister.” “I refuse to go without her!” Barnes sighed. He was on land a man of peace, but there was a limit to his patience. He seized Braine by the shoulders and hustled him out of the house. ; “Bring your proofs, mister, an’ nothin’ more’ll be said; but till y’ bring ‘em, keep away from this cot- tage.”” And, simple-minded sailor that he was, he thought this settled the mat- ter. That night he kept his eare open for unusual sounds, but he merely wasted his night’s rest. Quite naturally, he reckoned that the stranger : would make his attempt at night.. Indeed, he made it in broad daylight, with Barnes not a hundred yards away, calking a dory whose seams had sprung aleak. Braine had Florence upon the chartered yacht before the old man realized what had happened. He never saw Florence again; but one day, months later, he read all about her in a newspaper. Florence fought; but she was weak, and so the conquest was easy. Braine was kind enough,- now that he had her safe. He talked to her, but she merely stared at the receding coast. “All right; don’t talk if you don’t want to. Here,” to one of the men, “take her to the cabin and keep her there. But don’t you touch her. I'll break you if you do. Put her in the cabin and guard the door; at least keep an eye on it_ She may take it into her head to jump overboard.” Even the temporarily demented are not without a species of cunning. Florence had never seen Braine till he appeared at the Barnes cottage. Yet she revolted at the touch of his hand. On the second day out toward New York she found,a box of matches and blithely set fire to her cabin, walked out into the corridor and thence to the deck. When the fire- was discov- ered it had gained too much headway to be stopped. The yacht was doomed. They put off in the boats and for half a day drifted helplessly. Fate has everything mapped out like a game of chess. You move @ pawn, and bang goes your bishop, or your knight, or your king; or she lets you almost win a game, and then chcck- mates you. But there is one thing to be said in her favor—rail at her how we will, she is always giving odds to the innocent. * * * * * * * Mike Bannock was in the pilothouse, looking over his charts, when the look- out in the crow’s nest sang out: “Two boats adrift off the port bow, sir!” And Bannock, who was a first-class sailor. although a rough one, shouted down the tube to the engine room. The freighter came to a halt in about ten minutes. The castaways saw that they had been noted, and pulled gallantly at the oars. There are some things which sci- ence, well advanced as it is, cannot explain. Among them is the shock which cuts off the past and the coun- tershock which reawakens memory. They may write treatise after treatise and expound, but they never succeed “Girl, | Love You Better Than Life.’ in truly getting beyond that dark. wa! of mystery. At the sound of Jim Norton's yoic: and at the sight of his face—for sub consciougly she must have been think- ing of him all the while—a great blind. ing heat-wave seemed to burn across her eyes, and when the effect passe away she was herself again. A wild glance at her surroundings convinced her that both she and her lover were in danger. : - “Keep back,” whispered Jim. “Don’i recognize me.” “They believe that I've lost my mind, and I'll keep that idea in thei: heads, Sometime tonight_I’ll_find + chance to talk to you.” + It took a good deal of cautious ma neuvering to bring about the meeting “They shanghied me. And I thought you dead! It was all wrong. It was a trick of that Perigoff woman, and it succeeded. Giri, girl, I love you better than life!” “1 know it now,” she said, and sh: kissed him. “Has my father appearec “No.” - \— Do you kaow anything at all abzui (To. be Order of Publication.

At the 49th annual meeting of the | Missouri State Sunday School Con- ‘vention held at Springfield last week, \Bates county came off with flying | colors, as did the Presbyterian Sun- iday school of our city. Bates county was awarded first prize on Sunday school exhibits, was one of the thir- teen to obtain front rank and was one of the four counties to obtain first in elementary work receiving a silk banner for the same. Last year at St. Joseph, Bates county received the ‘only banner given for elementary work, The Presbyterian Sunday | school of our city obtained first prize This imakes the Presbyterian bunch feel | good. Most of the county workers ‘are from this school and they are | known through out the state for their excellent work.

Chicago, Nov. 29.—Almost half of the enginemen on railroads die vio- lent deaths, according to statistics which will be presented in the course of arbitration which will begin here tomorrow to adjust differences be- ;|tween 55,000 enginemen and the ninety-eight Western railroads on which they are employed. _ The hazards and hardships of en- gineers, firemen and hostlers will be urged, among other arguments, for a standardization of employment regulations and an advance in wages. The last advance, averaging about 10 per cent, was granted in 1910, ac- cording to William S. Carter, presi- dent of the Brotherhood of Locomo- tive Firemen and Enginemen, Mr. Carter explained that the term “‘host- ler’’ applies to men who take charge of locomotives in the roundhouses. a
