On the contrary, sir, I shall speak of this wholesale murder at the first opportunity.” The captain leaned back and stared at the debauched face and trembling figure of the sallor, with which this defiant speech so little accorded. Un- der ordinary circumstances he would have sent him on deck to be dealt with by the officers. But this was not an ordinary circumstance, In the watery eyes was a look of shock and horror and honest Indignation. The accents were those of an educated man, and the consequences hanging over him- self and the company for which ne worked—already complicated by and Involved in his efforts to avold them— Wwhich this man might precipitate were £0 extreme that such questions as ine eolence and difference in rank were not to be thought of.

I'll save you your drugged Dutch courage for evidence.” But it was not drugged, as he learned later. It was good whis- ky—a leader—to warm his stomach while the captain was studying. . . . . . . . from the happenings of the night, few A bees from a hiv promenades resembled in color and life the streets of a city. The wateh was busy at the inevitable serubbing, and Rowland, with a swab and bucket, was cleaning the white paint on the starboard taffrail, sereened from view by the after deck house, which shut off a narrow space at the stern, A it that you will be discredited, lose your | tle girl ran into the inclosure, laugh- berth and make enemies?” “I am aware of more than that,” an. awered Rowland excitedly. *1 know of the power vested in you as captain. J know that you can order me luto frons from this room for any offense you wish to Imagine. And I know that an unwitnessed, uncorroborated entry In your official log concerning me would be evidence cnough to bring me life imprisonment. But I also know something of admiralty law— that from my prison cell 1 can send You and your first officer to the gal- lows.” “You are mistaken In your concep: tions of evidence. I could not cause your conviction by a log book entry, nor could you from a prison Injure me. What are you, may I ask—an ex- lawyer?" “A graduate of Annapolis — your equal in professional technique.” “And you have interests at Washing- ton?" “None whatever.” “And what is your object In taking this stand, which can do you no possi- ble good, thoug certainly not the harm you speak of " “That I may do one good, strong act In my useless life, that I may help to arouse such a sentiment of anger in the two countries as will forever end this wanton destruction of life and property for the sake of speed, that will save the hundreds of fishing craft and others run down yearly to their owners, and the crews to their fawml- les.” Both men had risen, and the eaptain was pacing the floor as Rowland, with flashing eyes and clinched fists, delive ered this declaration. “A result to be hoped for, Rowland.” said the former, pausing before Lim, *“but beyond your power or mine t complish, Is the amount | n: large enough? Could you fill a posi- tion on my bridge?” “I can fill a higher, and your con ny is not rich enough to buy me.” “You seem to be a man without nm- bition, but you must have wants. “Food, clothing, shelter—and w!

K] s Vipers 8till Plague France. o One of the divisions of France, the department of Seine-et-Marne, has is- sued its snake killing budget, It shows that vipers are almost as numerous us ever before in the lle de France. They are commonest In the forest of Fontainebleau, where one gamekeep- er alone killed 1818 in the course of last year. For this he was pald $125, and in all the department paid $550 in the year, being a reward of seven cents for each viper's head presented. Nearly 8,000 were killed during the | year, New Foes With Old Faces. This, too, frightens even the daring poct from the theater, that the mob, greater in numbers, though less in wits, untaught, stolid ready to hoot down the gentry if they venture to dif- fer, demand hetween the lyrics either a dancing bear or a boxing mateh, for in these the pit finds its chief pleas- ure. But for that matter the upper classes have nowadays lost their ear for good poetry and have turned to praise vain gands and the delights of the eye.—Horace. Dictaphone Not New. The dictaphone which as been used In obtaining evidence in recent years Is not altogether a new invention. The expression “Walls have ears” origins ated a long time ago when bulldings were constructed having hidden tubes In the walls, 0 that what persons were saying in one room could be heard in another Good Old Times! A Central Kansas man says it makes him weary to hear a man talking about the good old times. It makes him think of the days when the bank- er would tell him that seeing that he had been his friend he, the banker, was going to accommodate him. And then he would take 2 chattel mortgage on six cows and the cook stove and loan him $15 at 2 per cent. a mouth.— Topeka Capital. Ingpiration in Dreams. Goethe frankly acknowledged that he owed much of his best work to dreams. *“The objects,” he Wwrote, “which had occupied my attention during the day often reappeared at night in connected dreams.
