'Aa far I know," said a person one
night.
There is a naught in this worid but
what is just right;
I hare all I want both to eat and wear.
The flowers I gather are fragrant and
fair,
The birds in the trees always sing a
glad song.
And ss far as I know, there is-nothing
wrong,
"All the people I know are loyal and
kind, .
And I am contented in body and
mind; '
I read about folks who are awfully
bad.
About spuls that are weary and hearts
that are sad.
About children that quarrel and peo
ple who fight,
But as far as I know, everything is all
right
"I read there are people who do many
things ,
That on them the worst kind of suffer
ing brings,
That women are wicked and men are
untrue,' . i
And sinfulness runneth society thro'.
Ii at as far as I know as far as I
know
I cannot affirm that these stories are
so."
The person who said that, as far as she
knew.
Was a child of six years, and to her it
was true:
O what would we give could we all
say to-night.
There is naught in the world but what
is just right!
I That we have all we want to eat and
to wear.
And that justice and goodness abound

Welhsville, a wttlemt-nt of n't more
than a few dozen mattered I-wks, the
most pretentions of which was the
"hotel and lunchroom." About 100
yardn-down the track from thin popu
lar resort at "train time" stood a Ion-,
one roomed building, the station,
Tom's fSt. Helena.
To an energetic, ambitions young
man, Boclally Inrtirtfd. UVMsrille was
well nigii 5uiokraUv but Tom had
hopes and made tin? Iet of it. He had
removed his Ix-loiiziriirn from the "ho
tel" to Mrs. Jordan' cozy little cottage,
where he made blintfrlf at home. lie
found Miss Jordan a cliarmlnn eom
oanlon and ""years ahead of the vil
lage In every way
Xevertbelews the
uneventful days would drag, and the
nlghu well, after the SiDO "accommo
dation" pulled oat until 11:10, when
the west bound "express" dashed past,
one might as well have been stationed
In the middle of the Great Sahara. At
least so Tom , Raid many times.
One raw, gussty December night Just
before the holidays Tom with much
pleasure piled the three cases billed
through to Omaha on the truck and ran
thorn down the track, ready t fie haul
ed aboard the baggage car of the com
ing train. He was not overfond of
work,- but this meant the stepping of
the express, the latest newspapers and
good reading for several days. To sig
nal the express was an event. .
Taking a last look at the lights, be
entered the station and nlamnied the
door after liim as If to bar out the
loneliness of the dripping outsid-i
worl'l. The last light in the hotel had
gone out long before the wind howled
In the wires, the red light blinked and
flickered-
"Well, of all the God forsaken"
The door openedsudf!eul.v, and two
men stepped into me room, loiioweu
by a third
"Han'ls up quick! the foremost
cried. ,
In less than two minutes Tom was
bound, gagged and lying helpless be
hind the partition In the baggage end
of the room.
He's safe.. Where's JtrnV" asked
the man who had sreol:en before.
"Down to the sldlu," i-ame the an
swer. "Set the wulte lllit."
The dor closed quickly after them.
Out of Tom's Ix-wlMeriin-nt and con
fusion came the question. What did t
mean? Ilobbery? There was nothing
worth the risk at the station, and the
men had gone.
"Set the white light." That meant
the express would not Ktoj.
"Down to the siding." The blind sid
ing, an eighth of a mile beyond the
station by the -sand hill! It ended In
the gravel bank, .
The terrible truth flashed across his
mind. He turned told. Great 'beads
of moisture stood out upon his fore
head. Twenty-six, with Its living
frelghtr was to be switched on to the
siding at full speed.
As the horror of It rushed upon him
Tom strained at the cords that bound
lilin hand and foot with u strength he
never dreamed he iMJssessed. It was
useless. The work had been done well.
He looked quickly at the clock 10:41.
In 2'J minutes uiore the train would be
due. Alie turned the knots of . the
gag pressed Into the buck of his head.
Hearing heavily upon them, unmindful
of the pain, he moved his head, forcing
his chin downward. They gave. They
moved. Again he tried and again, un
til nt last the handkerchief slipped to
his neck.
"Help, help! Townseud! Hill! Help!"
he cried. But his voice was lost in the
mocking howl of the wind, and he real
ized. that the 'effort was strength wast
ed and time lost.
Again he looked at the clock only 20
minutes remained How fast the sec
onds flew! Twenty-five
The sharp click, click, click, from the
other side of the partition caught his
ear a telegraphic mes!ri;e. "Twenty
six 20 minutes lute."
"Thank God. a delay!"
Forty -.four minutes now -a gain of
20. The train, due at 11:10. would not
arrive until 11:30. Townsend relieved
him nt 12. "Too Intel Too late!" rush
ed through his mind as he glan d at
the clock. Then the light f hone fair
ly blazed iu his eye:-?.
The summer before. wh:n he had
long, weary night watches, ' twice he
overslept because his alarm had failed
him, so to Insure his "call" he had run
n wire from the station clock to a bell
In his room at the hotel. By an Ingen
ious connection when the hands mark
ed 11 :45 the. ringing of the bell brought
him violently out of the land of
dreams. When Tom wns promoted to
the shorter watch and went to live at
Mrs. Jordan's, Bill Townsend, who suc
ceeded him, fell heir to his room and
"the devil's own," us Tom called the
bell. The clock was an imitation of the
old fashioned, big faced, caseless tlmo-
ileces, with weights and chains and a
ong, heavy oendulum.
"Twt'Uty minutes late," he muttered.
The hour hand was less than two
Inches from the connection, but how
slowly It crept! If he could only move
that hand! Ills knees were free. He
drew them up toward his chin, shot out
his legs and t-amc to n sitting position.
Then, by a series of short jumps and
bumps, he reached the wall, braced his
back against It and, with great diffi
culty, worked himself to his feet. The
pendulum swung, closu to his ear, but
how could he reach the hand? Was
he to frill now'
Ills eyes quickly searched the room.
A few feet to the right was the win
flow, heavily barred, the torn shad1
partly down. Ills glance rested otr the
stick that weighted the Inlter. lust
what Jte needed. New hoio gave him
new strength. Inch y inch he edged
himself along Hie wall to the shade,
caught the stick Ix fween his teeth and
sunk quickly to the floor. He had sir

of his head would start It.

following the mlntrte hand: He could
ee It move, and the boar hand? Yes,
It waa creeping along. Torn' atrength

and rolled over on the floor, bot his
eyes were flxeoV on that hand. How
long would It take to reach 11:43?
Closer and closer It crept. Now It
touched the Iron connection and moved
slowly past It The alarm had been
sounded, but there were 13 minutes
more before Bui would arrive. He
strained his ears to catch the slightest
sound. The noise of the storm-was all
that he could hear.
Click, click, click came from the in
strument a message from Maysville.
Twenty-six had Just passed. Maysville
was 12 minutes np the road It mnst
now be ll:li. Tom tried to calculate
the time since the bands started on
their wild race, but his mind was a.
chaos of mad thoughts. What if Bill
did not arrive in season? He roIP-d
over on -his facp and waited for the
worst.
The door burst open.
"Hello, where are yoni It was Bill's
voice.
"Stop 20 hold up at Dyke's siding
get men" But Bill was gone.
The red light flashed up the track,
and 20, with a noisy grinding of wheels
and many jolts, came to a stop. A
posse was hastily formed, but when
the siding was readied nothing was
found but the open switch that meant
death and destruction.
The passengers and crew tried to
make Tom believe that he was a hero,

THE CONSTITUTION
WON THE RACE.
Record of the Pirst Day's Cosiest of the
Big Sloops In the Newport Yacht Ro
lof Association Constitution
by Far the Better Boat
e
By Tsieerapa to the Mornlna star.
Newport, R. L, July 6. An un
qualified victory for the Constitution ;
an overwhelming defeat for the mde
pendeoce; a most commendable show
ing for the old champion, the Colum
bia, is the record of the first day's
contest of tho big sloops in the New
port Yacht Racing Association series,
From the firing of the starting gun
which sent the yachts off to windward
in a light bretze, the Constitution held
her rivals. At the taming buoy she
was a little more than two minutes in
adranca of the Columbia, while the
Independence was bull down to lee
ward. But it was on- the run home
that the new Herreshoff yacht
showed her- greatest strength, beat
ing Columbia over eight minutes
in the fifteen miles down the
wind, and when the new champion of
the America s cup swept across the
line the Boston yacht was over seven
miles astern. Owing to the lightness
of the wind there was no brilliant or
dramatic scene to chronicle. The race
lacked the charm that attends a scup
per breeze, but it was nevertheless full
of interesting, if not exciting erents.
The cbiel incident of the contest was,
of course the failure of the Independ
ence to meet the expectations of ber
adherents. That she was a failure in
the weather conditions that prevailed
today cannot, be gainsaid. At no
time during the contest to windward
did she show any weatheriy qualities
whatever. She did not point as hhrh
as her opponents nor did she even for
a brief interval demonstrate that she
possessed a fraction of that speed
wnicn sne seemed to snow when sail
ing by herself. That she mav be vast
ly improved is possible, but that she
profoundly disappointed her friends
to day cannot be concealed, for in light
winds ner excellence was cnieny sup
posed to rest When she got fairly
out into the open sea she pounded
heavily in the southwest swell and
the more she pounded the more she
seemed to lose head wsy.
Ho far as the Uonstitutlon's success
was concerned it was no more than
was expected of her by those who
have watched her keenly since her
launch. Handled splendidly and
with rare judgment but not in the
least better than the Columbia, her
superior size and bigger sail plan told.
The boasts of some exports that Nat
Ilerresbofz has reached his limit when
he designed the Columbia are not jus
lined by to day's race. Whether the
Columbia will beat the Constitution
In bard weather remains to be proved.
Tbo Columbia was sailed in a most
meritorious manner from ttsrt to
fl nisb. All tho arts of the professional
s journeyman wore practiced by
Jiaer, the sailing master, and K. V,
Morgan . the manager, to overcome
their vastly abler opponent. That
thy should ha? e kept the inferior
boat so close to nor superior an tag
on 1st in tho race to tbo outer mark
was a wonderful piece of work.
That tho Constitution is bv far the
better all around boat, let it blow hieh
or low, Is hardly to be doubted after
ner showing to-day.

Brussels. July 6. The Petit Bleu
says that Mr. Krueer lately -refused to
entertain proposals to armfrrir&teera,
but that the promoters are againurging
the former president of the South Af
rican republic to notify the Powen
that unless they intervene he will,
issue letters of marque. In the event
of Mr. Kruger'i continued refusal the
promoters propose to act without au
thorization. Washixotos, July 6. The report
from Brussels that former President
Krueer is being urged to notify the
Powers that unless they intervene in
the South Africa contest he will com
mifsion privateers is not treated seri
ously here. It is well understood, as
one outcome of the war with Spain,
that the United States government
will never again, except in the most
extraordinary emergency, issue let
ten of marque, and the same reasons
that impel the government to this
course undoubtedly would operate to
prevent our government irom recog
nizing any such warrants isssued by
any other nation, even were that na
tion in full standing.
In the case of the Spanish war, bow
the belligerents by agreement re
frained from issuing commissions to
privateers, and it now has been many
years since the flag of any respectable
nation has flown over such crait. in
the case of Mr. Kruger, it is extreme
ly doubtful whether he would, if the
issue were forced in this way, be rec
ognized as a de facto president author-
izou to issue commissions u putamn.
That point would have to be settled at
the outset and each nation whose com
merce was affected or was threatened
by the privateers would determine for
itself his competency. It is scarcely
to be expected that they would decide
against their own commercial inter
ests, so Ithat Mr. Kruger would find
it difficult to secure general recogni
tion.
The threat to send out privateers
without President Kruger's consent is
idle. It is pointed out here that such
craft would be pirates, pure and
simple, and the civilized world would
combine to sweep them from the seas
if they should begin operations against
the commerce of any nation.
