When official* of the Amerkaa Telephone and Telegraph Company in New York City exchanged grest-Ings with Australian telephone of-ficials in Sydney recently, la a demonstration of the pradlcabUlty of connectlnc the transatlantic tale-phone channel with one of the new short wave radio telephons chan-nels between Great Britain and Australia, the voices of the speak-ers were carried a total distance of 11.900 miles

From New York the messages passed over wire lines to the short wave transmitting canter which ia located at Lawreneerllle, N. J. Thence they were sent by radio to the short wave receiving station of the Britiah General Post Office at Baldock. near London. England, and thence by wire rla London to the British Government's transmit. ting station at Bufhy. England. Again radio served as the carrier to the receMng station of Amal-

Wirelees of Australia. Sydney. The return path waa

to Baldock from Australia, but oa reaching Baldock the mee-sages came via Rugby Co the Bell System's short ware reoelvlag sta-tloa at Neteeag. Jf. J .

Fhe demonstrations were re-carded as entirely satisfactory, and it is aa interesting fact that while actually it requires only a fraction of a second to send sach a message from New York to Australia over IS,000 miles by a short ware sys-tem of transmission interconnect-ing the wires of the United States and Australia, such a message may not reach Its destination until the next day. This paradoxical statement is due to the fact that when it Is four o'clock in New York City, the clocks in Sydney. Australia, read seven o'clock the next morning.

Once again Pontiac has improved upon a car already noted for its excellent qualities. To the hundreds of thousands whoownPontiacs^nd to everyone inter-ested in low-priced automobiles, this announcement is important. For it intro-duces the New Series Pontiac Big Six — a new and finer car with a famous name.

New Beauty, Smoothness, Safety

Smart new bodies by Fisher make the New Series Big Six a more beautiful Pontiac. Pontiac's smoothness is in-creased by a new type of rubber sup-ports for its 60-horsepower engine.

Improved non-squeakfour-wheel brakes and a new sloping non-glare wind-shield add to the car's safety.

Time-Tried Performance

When these and other improvements were being made, all of Pontiac's basic big cor excellence was retained.

Come in. Let us show you the many ad-vantages of this finer car with a famous name—the New Series Pontiac Big Six.

The Spark of Blue in the Flame

ISABEL was of the opinion that she must have been ushered Into

this world by candlelight. She was so confident of the Influence of this soft light on her disposition that sh« felt sure It was not merely an Inordinate fondness for the mellow glow but a t ruk of the fate for which she had such profound re-spect

She was an nnusaat combination of the practleal and the artistic type of girl. It was not strange that with this many-sided nature she had found It difficult to center her affections on a single sort of a man with whom to travel through life.

She had just been reading a little volume with a whimsical painted binding—a ship salting on a vague blue sea with a vague blue sky be-yond. "Where the Blue Begins." was the title, and the text was ns fantastic, as eaprlcious as even Isa-bel's most impractical moments could lead her to desire.

"1 wonder where It does begin?" she asked herself as she closed the little volume. "1 wonder.**

Caroline's Long Lost Hero

By CLARISSA MACKIE

CAROLINE ANDREWS stood al the open window, looking wist

fully a f te r the big gray car. "My middle name must be Clndorelia." sillied Caroline. "Too had there l«| never an empty seat for me—how I hoped they would ask me to go to the avialinn Held with them to welcome the flyers bark from their long t r ip! It would be wonderful to see them! Cinderella Andrews, wake up! find poor tittle Nan and take her out to the daisy field—per haps we can see the airmen cominu home."

"1-et us go out and look for the flying machines." suggested Caro

i line to Diana's little daughter, j "Wouldn't it be line if we could go ; to the liying field and watch them ' land, and perhaps meet them face , to face?"

"L'm I'* agreed Nan. They sat down In the daisy field

and made wreaths of daisies, until , suddenly Nan's far-seeing eyes I spied something In the sky. I "They come- they come!" she ! danced excitedly.

Together they watched the gray i flecks separate, grow larger aud i larger.

"They are coming this way, Caro line!'' cried Nan.

"Yes, dear!" •"Oh. he ts falling, falling—look,

he might fall on a bee!" screeched Nan. who had suffered a bitter ex-perience with a bee the week be fore.

"Ob dear, one is coming d o w n -right here!"

"Falling?" "No—he Is gliding down—the

other machine Is keeping on to the fleld—this one Is having trouble. Poor fellow—too bad to lose the race!" sighed Caroline, who sym-pathized with the downtrodden. "If It should happen to be Captain Browne, he will not care very much, for he has won so many medals for valor and captured so many prizes."

"Who is Captain Browne?'* "A great hero. dear. I mot him

when he was leaving for France and we grew to know him very well—but I was a very young girt and he has forgotten me long ago!"

The great machine had landed ai the other end of the fleld and find-ing an obstructing fence, turned and came bounding swiftly toward them.

"Here comes a man— 1 think It's your he-row.** squealed Nan, to whom life was Just one big romance af ter another.

The man. emerging from his helmet, disclosed a face bronzed by sun and reddened by winds. A fine, brave face, with very sharp blue eyes that singled out little Nan.

Good-Bye, Daddy lauhsn&tjpMotni

An' he jus* gels back at dinner-lime. Then he hasla hurry right away;

Says he hasla work again tonight. Or he's got a meelin' al the club,

Or his bowlin' team has got a game An' the captain says hell hafla sub.

Even if he plans t* stay right h e r e -Even then, he hasn't get a chance;

Mother makes 'un take 'er lo a show Or somebuddy else's house t ' dance,

Or they've been invited to a feed. Or the Bridge Gub has a party due . . .

Daddy fusses lots an' tries I' pike, But he hasla go—an' like it, loo!

I think Daddy wants t ' be with me! I jus' bet he'd rather play my games

ITian I' get dressed-up 'most every night An' be meelin' folks with funny names!

I jus' bet. if he could have his way. He'd be home a lot more than he l s -

Two memorlHls to Fnmcls Scott Key have been erected on the grounds, one over-looking the river and the other at the entrance. It is to be a na-tnlnnl nnrk.

After we'd been fishing a little while he pulled out a bottle and In-vited me to have a few orlnka. 1 only took four or five drinks, but somehow It made me sleepy. So we landed and I laid down on the grass. Pretty soon I was waked up by beliiR hammered over the head with a club. Before I lost my senses I re; 11 zed that he'd pulled my overcoat up over my head and tied It. Then ne tied my bands und feel with a piece of ro|»e. hit me several times more on the head and threw me In the water.

Hla evidence having been com-pleted, the foreman excused the bandaged victim, but before be could quit the chair one of the grand Jurors, who had been listening with the utmost Interest to the atartilng story, halted him and Informed the Interpreter that. In the Intereata of Juatlce to all, he desired to put one qnestlon.

"What do yon wiah me to ask him?" Inquired the Interpreter.

"Yon ask thla man whether, when be went flahlng with the defendant, did he have a license to flah?"

A m i .- . Abe Eash and family, to risk a llf«' for a life until John j Nowolski were Thursday Strange saw the situation, pulled his muscles taut and gripped Davie llrmly by the Jaw. The strusgle lasted a breathless moment. There was a badly torn band for John Strange, a dawning of undorstnnd-Inj: in canine eyes as If mastership bad l»een recognised.

Kthel was carried swiftly and tenderlv Into the drug store on the corner to await the ambulanfe. and John Sirance followed to get his torn hand dressed. Davie followed meekly. . _ .

John Strange, when he appeared again with his hand neatly ban-daged, saw Davie's dejection and had compassion on him.

••('ome on. old l»oy," he said, you won't lie permitted to go along with your mistress to the hospital, so you bad belter stay with me.

Davie fell right In with the Idea. for lie a rose and followed Strange In his dignified dog fashion, after casting a lingering glance at his an conscious mistress.

Strange gar.ed ruefully down at the hand In which lhe dog's teeth had left a nasty gash. I nfortn-nately It was his working h a n d -that famous left hand, known so well for Us cartoons.

When Davie's mistress linaliy mu wake from her long coma she felt reasonably comfortable and happily quite uncertain as to what had hap-DPtlOil

"Davie." she called softly. "where's my Davie Boy?

Nurse and doctor exchanged glances. They Imagined there was a mun In the case who was no doubt ignorant of the fact that his sweelheart was lying in the hos-pital swathed In bandages.

There had been nothing with which lo trace Ktliefs identity and no message had reached the hos-pital regarding her.

"My dog," she questioned pite-ously. "Ho Is all I have In the world—my Davie."

But Davie was well eared for by John Strange and the two were fast becoming firm friends. Strange had gone to the address marked on lhe dog's collar and found it to bo an empty house. Ho scanned the personal column In a morning pa-per regularly but decided that either Davie's mistress had not re-covered from the accident or she dreaded to Inquire into her dogs fate. , ,

Kthel, however, was making a frantic search for Davie upon her release from the hospital, but It was not until she read a line in her newspaper that a clew was given her as to the name of the man phose courage in tackling Davie had perhaps saved her life.

"Wo, are pleased to announce, the article read, "that our own John Strange will again be fa-voring us with his famous left-handed cartoons. Ills injured lingers are ready now to handle the pen." Ethel knew, without being told, that John Strange was the man to whom she was indebted.

It was during a suiti. evening when she was having her dinner In a small restaurant lhat she sud-denly realized that the man at the next table to her own was handling his fork with a very much scarred hand. In a moment she was scrib-bling a nole on a bit of paper and asked her waitress to deliver It at the next table.

The next moment two pair ot eyes, destined from the beginning to meet, were gazing at each other. John Strange arose and sat down at Ethel's table and the whole story from the second that Davie went on guard was told lo the lis-tening girl.

"And now." said Strange, "shall we walk up Broadway so tliat I can go in and get Davie? He little knows the Joy in store for him. I have seen in bis dog eyes many a lime a great longing." ,, , ,

"But your hand." said^ bthel softly. "ll« tore it b a d l y - "

And fifteen minutes later the usual Broadway strollers were amused to see a great black dog bounding down the walk as if it suddenly had gone mad. , „ . ,

"lie's Just dog." laughed Ethel and the tears were very near her eyes, "but lie's very dear, a ren t you, Davie Boy?" Looking up she caught something In John Strange s blue eyes which made her color softly and realize that Davie had brought something really wonder-ful Into her life.

"Well, you won't see her after to-day."

CHAPTER VIII

Joshua Inglepln.

JEFF BIOfiLE pulled his team to a halt with a mild: "Whoa-oo-a.

thar I" brandishing his whip In either direction along the crest of the low hills overlooking Brooklyn Aa far as could be seen, the coun-tryside was dotted with work gangs, laboring at the fort 1 Ilea I Ions, which made ugly scara u|>on the green of fields and orchards.

"Naow, that a i r s a sight folks come miles to see," he observed. "All the way from Gowanus creek to Wallabout bay. We ain't agoln' to be ketched like we wore In *70. squire. Look to them ships I"

The whip Indicated the dose-packed anchorages In the East river and off Oovernofa, Bedloe's and Ellis Islands, hundreds of sail of all dimensions, most of them with their topmasts housed, and tar-bar-rels capping their mastheads.

*•'Madison's nightcaps' folks call them bar'Is," said Jeff. "Shlppin's dead. Taln't even safe to sail the sound east o' New London-and thar's ships been picked up M s side o* New Haven. Coastln'? Thar ain't a coaster put to sea In mouths, since the blockade was tightened. If 'twasn't for prlvateerin' un.l Ihem d - d licensed traders, thar wouldn't he no clearances atail. I ain't holdln* with Chater none, but j e can't argyfy past the point the country wasn't fixed to take on I lie Britishers. No. siree, squire, not by a JugfullJ rrivaiQecln'? The

micllofi markets are full 6' cap-lured cargoes, and ye couldn't throw a stone In the river, and not hit a prize; bul thar's a many pri-vateers gil look, tharseives, nnd our ships lhal put to sea lo trade si and seven chances Into len o' losin'. St) whar dues it nil us. eh? Thai's whai 1 crave lo kuaow."

Fellowea hadn't devised a solu tloD of JefTs problem hy the time tho coach dropped ihem at lhe fer-ry-landing II was a sorry lis for lhe country to he in. only half-lnier-esled in tlie si niggle, and lhat half, as he knew, mainly cometilrated in the southern nnd from let states which had no conception of I lie gov-ernment's need of a navy, and wore inclined to he Jealous of the wealth shipping had hrouglil lo the seaboard cilies of the north. Hut perhaps. If men like himself, who had eillier a sense of conviction or of wrong, fought desperately, de termlnedly, for long enough, the sul-len apathy of the shipping Interests could be neutralized, nnd the south-erners nnd backwoodsmen might learn the potentialities the sea held for America. They'd all come to hate the same object. Hate suffl-clently, nnd you could conquer any-one, any dlfflculty. A lesson he'd learned by bitter experience, and must tench others.

He landed al the foot of White hall street as grim of countenance ns though he went to meel Col lishawe. Tom and Cuffee trod close at his heels, bewildered by the throngs of people nnd the racket of voices nnd cartwheels grinding on the cobbles.

In front of the Washington hotel at the corner of Broad and Pearl atreets. Fellowes halted his charges.

"I am going on to see Mr. Joshua Inglepln," he said. "Do you two await me In the taproom here. And Cuffee, see to It that Tom doesn't get drunk."

"Yah, Mnrs'r Fellowe'." "Uelyln* on a Ign'rant nigger."

fumed Tom. "'Taln't fair, mesa-mate. How'd ye know I was sqdarln' my sails to git three sheets In the wind?"

Fellowes turned Into Pearl streei. crossed Hanover square and so came to Front street, which he traversed as far as a large, double, brick warehouse. Once upon a time Its facade had been pierced by a double door, exactly In the center but this had been bricked up. so many years ago lhat the new htlcks had faded almost to the hue of the surrounding wall. In place of the large door, two single ones had been pierced under either gable Over the nearest one hung the sign:

BENJAMIN INQLKPiN, Export er and Importer; Sailings to all Ports.

Over the farther sign read; JOSHUA INOLEPIN. Exporter

and Importer; Sailings to the Bai lie, the British Isles. Southern Eu rope and the Indies.

I Fellowes entered the farther door, A gray-hnlred clerk slid off a high stool, nnd advanced to meel him, timorously.

"I am looking for Mr. Ingb-pln," said Fellowes.

"Mr. Inglepln Is out, sir. At the Tontine."

"When will he return?" "Ah. sir, not until after three,

when the board suspends. But If you went around to Wall street now you might find him at leisure. 'Tis the hour of 'high 'Change.' sir. and ail the gentlemen should be taking their noonings."

Fellowes thanked the old man, and went out Into Front street, turning the corner into Wail, where the Tontine Coffee house rose above the curbing this side of Water. Threading the groups, still arguing and discussing the trading projects of the morning, he had as little dif-ficulty Identifying Joshua Inglepln as the Inglepln warehouse the hos-tile brothers had divided In halt when they broke up their partner ship.

Joshua's stout body was clad ns neatly as Benjamin's, but after the Democratic fashion; his long-tailed

blue coat was short-waisted. and his nether garments were skin-tight, gray pantaloons, terminaiitig in polished half-boots. His gra> hair was cut short and brushed straight back, aud his ruddy face was set off by a plain slock aud neckerchief. Where Benjamin was sedate, quiet, circuitous, with an elusive eye. Joshua was positive, outspoken, forthright.

Fellowes lapped him on the arm "1 beg your pardon." said the

Long Islander. "My name is Lion Fellowes. Mr. Inglepln. I was pressed off your brother's ship True Bounty."

Joshua swung around with amuz Ing quickness in a man of his size There was a look almost of sly con sideratlon In the china-blue eyes that stabbed questlonlngiy Into Fel lowes".

"Ah, yes," he answered. "Heard of you. Captain Fellowes. Heard of the Incident you mention, of course. That d - d cur. Chater— ah. ahem, humph I But why d' you come to me? You must know my brother and I—"

"1 have information in that con-nection which I think will interest you."" Fellowes Interrupted quietly.

Inglepln drew a step nearer. There was no suggestion of slyness in his face now. His expression was eager, curiously avaricious. His blue eyes were cold as Fellowes' own.

"This d—d license business, eh?" 'Thai—and more." Inglepln hesilaied. then asked ab

rupily: "Treason, eh?" " I be l ieve si., s i r . "

"Knew It, 6y O - d ! " Joshua slapped his hip delightedly. "Knew the d—d fool CwUldn'i play with fire, nnd not burn his lingers. Knew It soon as | heard he was keepin' on the True Bounty's crew. Bui you, sir, how'd you—"

"1 can't toll yoj here, Mr, Ingle pin. Will it sulllce If I say I es caped several days ago from the Badger sloop-of-war? And have Just surprised your brother and his daughter, .villi Chater, entertain Ing Captain Colllshawe at dialer's fann on Long Island?"

Joshua Inglepln slipped his arm through Fellowes', and lhe light In his eyes danced and flickered, as if a wind was blowing It.

"Come with mo." he said. "My office will do. Glad you dropped In, Caplaln Fellowes. Believe you and I can do some business. Eh? Treason I Bul I expecled ll, I ex-pecled it. Ben always would over reach himself. Ha. ha I The d—n fool I"

"He's heen hnnd-ln-giove with every runagate Fedemiist In the North," admitted Joshua.

"Exactly, sir. And my guess ts that before going further with It they awaited some answer from the Canadian authorities. If I'm right 'twas lhal answer Colllshawe de-livered at Babylon."

"And why wouldn't they have turned over the petition, or what-erer the thingummy was, to him?"

" T l a likelier they'd choote to convey It themselves, alnce most delicate negotiations would flow from IL 1 feel this the more strongly, air, after hearing the True Bounty Is held ready for aalling.

"Sounds reasonable." growled Joshua. "So our Job Is to find this abominahie scrawl r

"We should have your brother'a house and ofllce searched tonight," Fellowes returned promptly.

"You'll find no papers In Ben's bouse or ofllce. Captain Fellowea, you nor anyone, know the acoon-drei, and knowing him, I refuse to underestimate him. Aboard ship. maybe. Yes, but not until after she's sailed."

"Wait for his sailing, then, and pursue," exclaimed Fellowes.

"Take him red-tianded, eh? That would be best. You may depend upon It, he and Chater are taking

extraordinary precautions In what-ever they are up to. As for the girl—humph I If my eyes tell me anything, she has more sense than her father."

"She is unusually intelligent," Fellowes agreed heavily. "I'd pre-fer not to speak of her."

"Humph! Ha! Quite sot But If I'm to play with you, captain, I want ail the cards on the table— face up."

"I have no inteulon that It should be otherwise, sir."

Inglepln was undeterred by the frosty note in his caller's tone.

"No necessity for pique." he ss-serted briskly. "I can't afford to run the risk of having good plans spoiled by a man's weakness for a womnn." The china-blue eyes danced again with tho flickering light that seemed at once to warm nnd chill them. "Seen It happen too often. Shouldn't put It past Ben to use her for thnt purpose"

"She can have no influence upon me, Mr. Inglepln."

"Hate her, eh? Same aa her fa ther? Same as dialer?"

"Hale her?" And suddenly n flame blazed up In Fellowes. "Yes, I hate heri I hale her for my stripes. I hate her on ColIIshawe's nccount. I hnte her for the trenson she prac-tices. I—I hate heri"

Joshua Inglepln sal back with a little grunt of satisfaction.

"You'll do." he decided. "I'm no' so sure 'tla—oh—what you call it. Captain Fellowes; bul the sentl ment will safeguard ray Interests."

"And what may your Interests be?" Fellowes asked harshly.

"Need you ask?" countered the merchant "I am on all foura with you In this matter, sir. I'd see Ben hung high ns Hnmen. and dialer beside him. The girl—Well, we needn't discuss her. 'Tla nol pleas ant for you, nnd I'd not fight a womnn, might I help It."

"What of Colllshawe?" "That's your nffalr." "Nntbeiess, he must figure In any

bnrgnin we strike." snfd Fellowes "Granted," conceded Joshua.

"within limllntions." "As what?" "To begin with, we must tnform

"I am willing." Fellowes agreed "And then, sir?"

"Come with me, if you ptensc." Joshua took his hot, and m*

Honed toward the door. "Don't wail for me, Rowell," he

called lo the gray clerk as they passed to the street

Fellowes was silent aatB they had crossed the road.

"What other limitations to oor bargain had you In mind, sir?" he asked.

"Only such as motives ot patriot-Ism should place upon tb« saii<<fac-tion of private enmity. Your pur-suit of Captain Collishawe must await the desiructloo of my broth-er's conspiracy."

'To pursue them back we'll re-quire a ship."

"Exactly my thought, captain I T ls a ship we are after this mo ment."

They entered South atreet and turned toward Gouverneur. Ahead of them was Christian Bergh's ship-yard. and Fellowes' face lighted al sight of the graceful fabric thai, loomed above the scaffolding of the Y O ^ J

"Ah. the beauty! The sweetest brig I ever saw!"

"No shipwright like old Chris tian." Inglepln responded.

"Is she yours?" "Not yet. Christian built her for

speculation. Out of blind pride and confidence in his own skill."

"She's heavier built than the rog ular clippers." commented Fellowes "What's her tonnage?"

"Close lo four hundred, I think [ Clirislian huiit her lor strength, no less I ban speed. And she's well' sparred, you see. Vou could drive her in a gale uniler tops'ls."

"But she's lung for her henm.'* "Yes. t hat s to cive her clear-1

ance. She's UTi feet over all iiik! 28_feet heam."

Rounding the bow, Fellowea saw tlie name Centurion carved In square, block lei lore Just aft of the hawser pipes. Ho stood so long on his vantage point, feasting his eyes on tho swelling lines of the hull, es linialing the sail spread of lhi-lofly masts, fancying how she could be pushed In ordinary winds, and driven in dirty weather, thai he did not lionr Joshua's summons unlit It had heen repealed.

"Oh. I hog your pardon." he ex claimed, and scrambled down to shake hands with leathery, squinty eyed Christian Borgh.

"You like her, Ja?" the old ship wrlght asked proudly,

"She's lhe handsomest thing I ever saw. Mr. Bergh. I only wish I could buy her."

"Fifteen t'ousan' tollars I ask for her. mil sails, battery, eferytlng."

"I haven't fifteen thousjnd dol-lars, but If I had—"

"You don'l need It." Joshua Inter-rupted abruptly. "She's sold." He turned to Bergh. "I'll pay the money Inlo Barkers for you. eh. Christian?"

"Dot sulls me, Mr. Inglepln. Ondl anyt'ing you vanl I put in her.

Inglepln took Fellowes by the arm, nnd walked a few feel aside.

"I'll wnger you enn run down the True Bounty with tbnL Captain." exulted the merchant

"I can run down the True Boun ty," assented Fellowes, "but she's no use to me unless she can fight the Badger."

"Thni's your bnrgnin. Fight a King's sloop-of-war wilh a priva-teer?"

"Yea. Fight her and lake her." "A dangerous business I If 'twas

CHAPTER IX

The Chase Begins.

TO THE considerable amusement of Joshua Inglepln. Fellowes

"Aye, the best ship of her alze In the Klng'a fleet," Fellowea rejoined, uncompromisingly.

There waa comprehension, yes. snd respect. In the look Joshos gave the Lung Islander.

"Hate bim lhat much, eh? But there'd be no sense In sinking your aelf doing It."

"None." Fellowea admitted. "But with the right batiery—"

He broke off, and balled the ahipwrlght, who was loitering near, gazing lovingly on the thing he had created.

"Mr. Bergh. What guns were you figuring for her?"

"Veil, I leafe dot for you undt Ur. Inglepln. Bul if you put In carronades, berups we say elghl-een-poundera. den you belter not bafe more dun alxteen—undl a couple of long twelves for chusera."

Fellowes shook his bead. "A privateer has no proper use

for carronades," he snld. "She should never fighi al close range Give us long twelves In the broad side bnlterles, nnd we'll mount a tweniy-four-pounder Long Tom for'nrd on a pivot"

"A twenty-four pounder!" Mr Inglepln cried protestlngiy. "You'd rack her to pieces."

But Christ inn Bergn dissented vo dferously.

"Nol dot Centurion I I bulldt her for rough vork. J a i Wa put In some more hoafy beams In det fo'c's'le, undl brace der deck."

"Yes, you'd belter reinforce those bulwarks. Mr. Bergh. I'd like hef to be as strong as a navy vessel of her class."

"She will be," promised the ship wrlght. "Mil dot brig you can lighi a King's ship, if she chase you Ja!"

They talked then of storage room nnd spnre sails nnd cables, and ar rangements In the gnlley for n nu merous crew—"you'd best reckon on a hundred and fifty men. cn|>-tain." advised Inglepln. "Aside from our private vent urea, I hops you'll bnve tlie luck lo pick up prizes. And prizes tnke hands to bring them In." And afterward. In the glow of late afternoon, they said good-by to Bergh. and retraced their steps to the warehouse In From street. Joshua led the way to the table beside which they had held their earlier conversation.

"I am a business man. air," he

was obliged lo rescue Tom nnd Cuffee from a ring of admiring Idlers who crowded the taproom of the Washington hotel lo watch the negro twisting horseshoes and brenklng bricks In his grenl hands, nnd listening to Tom's hnlr-ralslng ynrns. Cuffee had been so delight-ed with the ndmlrntlon he nroused thnt he forgot his chnrge to re-strict Tom's drinking, wilh the re-sult thnt Mr. Grogan was a good bit more than three sheets In the wind,

"D'you wnnt to go with me as bosun In the Centurion privateer?" demanded Fellowes.

"Boshun?" "That's what I said. But I

won't have a drunkard piping my fo'c's'le."

Cuffee, who hod been humbly apologetic over his dereliction from duty, waa unable to confine hla en-thuslnsm at this news.

"Yo' ketch him ahlp wld Long Tom, Mars'r Fellowe'?" be cried, eyes shining.

"Yes, but her gunner la going to be a man I can depend on. Frank-ly, I'm at a loss what to do with you two."

.Tush , " said the merchant, "well aend 'em to Cbriatlan Bergh. He can rig hammocks for them aboard the brig. Here, Tom, give thla line to Ur. Bergh. He'll take care of yon. And now. by your leave. Cap-tain, we'll have a bite of dinner, and after wait upon hla excel-lency."

Fellowes' head was Jammed with an incoherent atream of thoughts as he walked beside the merchant nnder the weighted, green boughs of the tulip treea. Hla mind was concentrated upon the fatnrt . l i t was planning the berthing of one hundred and fifty men. eallmatlng the quantities of powder and ahot for great guna and amall. the pro-portion of boardlng-plkea to cut-lasaea, of platoia to mnsketa, de-signing special broadside porta for the Long Tom In either hoiwark, so that by yawing In filghL the Cen-turion might aling a purauer to the utmost

He scarcely heard Joshua Ingle-pln'a conversation; hla responsea were mechanical. Rating hla food, drinking the choice Uadeira. It waa alwaya the aame; Joshua's rolce.
