" He went on deck. Already th trop ic night had closed down upon the harbor, but it was easy enough to lo- . sate the captain and first officer, still waiting at the gangway. From over- , side arose the splutter of a lauh'chT- raucous sound, yet one that barely rlp pled the surface of O'Rourke's con- - iclousness. He stepped quickly to the captain's side and. touched htm gently , on the arm. . " "Captain," he seld quickly, TJ1 be asking the favor of a word with ye in ' hrivate." '. :. . ' Hole caught the gleam of the Irish nan's eye fa the lamplight and Itepped back a pace. "Get forrard," ho said curtly. "Carn't : you. see the customs officer coming. 'aboard?

"Drop that .tone, ye scud! be cried. "D'ye want me to spoil your Uttle game?". " . The shot went home. The captain gasped, and in the darkness O'Rourke fancied he lost a shade or two- of his ruddy color. ' . "Wot cber mean?" he demanded, low ering his tone. "I mean," replied O'Rourke in a ,'qulck whisper, "that the Egyptian cus toms officer is at the side. Return what ye've stolen from me this day, : or I'll tell the whole harbor what ' ys've been up to! And, If ye want me to be more explicit, perhaps ths ' word 'haahlnhV will refresh your mem Cry!"

"Tdu'll lie there, me man, and not so much as a whimper till I give you leave. Take 'eed wot L says. Mr. Dennison 'ere la goln' to clean 'Is re volver." ' " .; O'Rourke lay silent, save for blB quick breathing. The first , office, grinning malevolently, sat down near at hand, keeping a basilisk eye npon the prostrate man while he fondled an ObleVbodTed,' naramerless WeoTey? : Hole moved off towards the gang way, whence his voice arose, an in stant later,' greeting his visitor. The latter put a hurried question, which O'Rourke did not catch, but the cap tain's reply was quick' enough: - "Only, a mutinous dorg- of a deck- to go forrard when ordered. 'E ain't 'urted none. Mr. Dennlson 'era Just gyve 'im a tap to keep him qilet" , The Irishman swore beneath Y his breath and watched the first ofUcer. The light from the lantern at the gangway glanced, dully, upon the sol fsile "Carrel" M the revolver, and the gleaming line was steadily directed towards O'Rourke's head.. Upon re consideration he concluded to lie still, to wait and watch his opportunity; tor the present, at least, he was in disposed to question Dennlson's wil lingness to use the weapon. O'Rourke was to be kept quiet at all . hazards, and he knew it full well; for once he conceded discretion the better part of valor, and waa patient. - CHAPTER XIV.

I . I iue junu. . uuiiomi luspecuous, iur thermore, are as severe as might be expected by anyone acquainted with the country and Its ; Inhabitants as was O'Rourke. - ' v He felt, then, no sort of surprise at the brevity of the official visitation. .The inspector, accompanied by an excessively urbane and suave Captain Hole, consciously but brifly glanced Into the hold, asked a few questions ' which would have been pertinent had they not been entirely perfunctory, and took Us leave. From the gangway the captain turned back directly to his first offl cer and the latter'a charge. . Hearing bis approaching .footsteps, O'Rourke gathered himself together and sum moned all his faculties to his aid. , "Troublesome V demanded Hole, pausing. "Not a syllable," said the mate. "Th' mon'a sensible! I ha'e me doubts but he's too canny alteglther.' "Peaceful as a byby, eht Well," savagely, "'ell learn wot for.. Get up, you Irish" O'Rourke lay passive under the storm of Hole's profanity. He had all but closed his eyes, and was watch ing the pair from beneath his lashes, Failing to elicit any response, " 'ASB't moved r demanded the cap tain. ' , "Not a muscle" "Shammln'l 'Ere, I'll show 'im.' 'O'Rourke gritted his teeth and sup pressed a groan as the toe of Hole's i beavy boot crashed into his ribs, ' 'Th' mon'a naa shamming," Dennl son declared. "He's fair fainted." "Fainted hell!" countered the cap tain. "Give 'is arm a twist, Dennl son." The mate calmly disobeyed. . The arm-twist desired by the captain re quires tbe use of the twister's two bands, and stoutly as he defended his opinion, the first officer was by no means ready to put up his revolver. He advanced and bent over the lilnhman, who lay motionless, his up per Hp rolled back to show his clenched teeth. "Heughl" exclaimed the first officer, peering Into his face, his tone expressive of tbe liveliest concern. Without further hesitation he dropped the revolver into his pooket and received a tremendous short-arm blow in the face. With a' stifled cry be fell back, clutching at a broken nose, and Eprawiod at lengthj while O'Rourke, lunplng to his feet, deliberately put a lieol luto the pit of Dcnnlxon's atom sch, thereby effectually eliminating him as a factor in the further contro versy, t'lmultanoouuly he advanced in n Captain Hole. l ut In tie latter ha encountered no mean sntasoiilwt.

' A sample1 of the, cot' on was sent to the mills at Gastonia. N. C, and the opinion of lhe experts there was. that it was the 'best cotton ever sen out side of the famous Sea Island cotton.

B. Hurley. Dr. Craft's address was a strong presentation of the evils of al cohol to the individual, his deecendents, bis community and his country. Prohi bition was gaining ground effectively, the speakt-r declared, and pointed out the line of work that all good people should pursue to make it more effective. The " contest against alconolinnr was world wide, for its evils wera recog nized as threatening the stability of every nation whose people drank.

Jan 9 h.-The text of a letter written by Wood row Wilson tn 1906, at that time president of Princeton University, to Adrian H Joline, of New York city, was tele graphed from New York and handed about among tb Democratic national committeemen at their meeting here last week. It read: "Cannot we devise some dignified way of getting Mr. Bryan out of the Democratic party and getting rid of bim for all time!" This letter waa written shortly after tbe defest of Alton B. Parker for the presidency. This excerpt of Mr, .. Wil son's letter waa variously discussed by the committerman, nearly allot whom, to the number of fifty-two, are in town. They did not wish to speak of it in spe" cific terms. When the exeerpt was read to Cbairmin Norman E. Mick, of the National Committee, his only com ment wa: , ' The National Committee Is not here to select candidates for the presiden cy."" . .: s -. A number of Bryan men now on the g ound declare that Colonel Brj an waa made aware of Mr. Wilson's letter some -thm sto. and that at that time be re marked that it was a letter from a scholarly recluse, and should not be ac cepted seriously. There are other Bry an men here who doubt very much if Colonel Bryan ever saw this letter or even heard of tta contents. Just what effect Mr. Wilaon'a letter will have In determining the Bryan at tltudetownd him in the Democratic national conv mtlon is a matter for fu ture consideration, according to most of the national committeemen. After consultation and interchange of views, - the opinion waa expressed that the national committee, at its meeting in this city, may adopt a reso lution leaving the whole matter in ths bands of the State committees. Asa matter of fact, if aurh a resolution is aJdpted, it' would be due to sn efT rt to tave lha faces of tlia Bryan and Wilaon ni-n, for it la declared by those compe tent to apsk that a vaat majority of tVe c'i!nuiitt are absolutely opposed t, r T-i-,!.!..nt Ifcl nraf rcnra rrlinari,..

Democratic Leader Oscar W. Underwood's decis ion not to attend the Jackson Day ban quet here next Monday night which be came known immediately' after the an nouncement that the managing com mittee had given to William Jennings Bryan, at his own request, the last place on the speaking program, threw Democrats in Congress into a' flurry. ' Mr. Underwood declared he would not attend "the banquet became of bis recent attack of threatened appendici tis. His physicians, he said, had or dered him to attend no banquets and 1 particularly to make no speeches, nor do anything rq airing unusual exer tion, v . ';'-XX.:'x---::- "I will not have any speech ' to be read at the dinner," added Mr. Under wood. I "If I were? there ' to make a speech I would desire to deliver it my self,'..1 , ' , -X;. .;,;' .,:rA::.: Nevertheless, the forecasted absence of the majority leader of the House, from a 'national Democratic affair at which other leaders of the party and men who are mentioned as candidates for the Presidential nomination are to speak aroused discussion, particularly in connection with the so-called break between Bryan and Underwood. Mr. Underwood's letter to the mana ging committee- announcing that he would not attend Was sent after it be came known that Bryan was to speak last. The arrangement did not meet the approval of many leaders, bnt it will stand. Some of Mr. Underwood's friends pointed out that Mr. Bryan speaking last on tne program, would be in a position ol decided advantage to make declarations which would of ne cessity remain unanswered, and that such a contingency was to be avoided. Others said that Mr. Underwood did not wish to entar Sn oratorical contest with Mr. Bryan. The controversy between Mr. Bryan and Leader Underwood, which develop ed over the woolen schedule, the secret caucus and other affflira,t the special session of Congress last year, was re cently renewed when Mr. Bryan prac tically referred to Mr, Underwood as Wall Street's choice for the Democrat ic Piesidential nomination. Mr. Underwood Sever has denied that his political views differ much from Mr. Bryan's, but many of Mr. Underwood's friends recently have declared- that he has no hesitancy "to . express himself concerning Mr. Bryan's position.

Also there has been a good deal of cov ering in aborts, not only because ot the aggressive attitude, of the prominent spot people but because of the increas ed activity and strength in Liverpool. This inspires many with the belief that ' the Lancashire strike, serious as it seems, la not HKeiy to ne oi long dura tion. Liverpool spot sales on a number ; of days were 10,000 bales and Manches ter has reported a good demand for cloths, .however quiet might be its trade in yarns. There haa been Uttle dis position noticeable to press spot cotton for sale in the Atjantic markets, nor for that natter at- the generality of Southern points. Exports have been big, . Augusburg, Pavaria, reports tho home trade as im proving. Some big- mills in Rhode Is land have gone on a full tine schedule after running only short time for the year. Meantime, though, continent spinners have bought freely for some months past, even, taking cotton to be delivered some years ahead, the Nor thern mills in thu.eeuotry and many of those in Great Britain are known to have bought aa a rule on a very mod ern, not to say scanty scale, and the inference is drawu - that they are none too well supplied with raw cotton, even if indeed, their supplies are actually low. i .x'-'-i On the other, hand there is the Lan es, hire strike. NoboJy knows how , long it will last despite the efforts the officials of ths British government are making to bring about a settlement. Rumors too, are to the effect that the ginning, despite the recent bad weather , of the South, will turn larger than ex pected. One rumor put the total of the National Ginnera' Association up to January 1st, at 14.850,000 bales. If that is so it is treading ra ther closely on the heels of the government t crop es timate ia834nl)crnberefl 4,885, 000 hales, with some months of gin ning to hear from." ' . -V At times of late Wall Street houses, after buying freely, have been taking profits and selling by Liverpool, Mem phis and New York traders as well. As " It appears, some of the Waldorf-Astoria contingent has also been a note worthy factor in the trading. The New York stock is steadily increasing. ; But -the buying of big spot interests, the large spinners takings for some weeks past, and a belief that Lancashire has too much at stake to permit the strike to continue long, Inspires with a belief that cotton is destined to advance fur ther. Former Waldorf-Ataoria bears are believed at the close of the week, to have covered and taken the bull side on the idea that the decline haa culmi nated. The weekly statistics are re garded as bullish. V -v One hundred employes of Pacific Mail Steamship; Company were dismissed' owing to the disclosure of a smuggling plot. . -.. . lev. F. A.
