"We will not stay in the middle west long, just a week or so, and then we . will come back to the coast," said Gilmore. "Packey will not stay in the fighting game very long and we want to meet the best in the business out here. A week or two's notice and we will be ready for any battle." Despite Packey's announcement that he does not want to meet Gans for a year, at least, It Is reported that his next mattle in the ring here will be with the old master if he is winner of the Gans-Nelson battle.

The Captain of the Kansas. By LOUJS TRACY. Author of "The Wings of the Mornio f - -inerilltr of Light.- Etc 3 4 Copyright, 1906, by Edward J. Clode. TTTTTTVTTTVTTTVTTTVTTTTT K An exclamation of surprise, a somewhat forcible exclamation, too, answered her from an inner berth. Frascuelo had heard from the Chilean who brought his meals that there was an Englishwoman on board, but he did not know that she spoke Spanish fluently. Frascuelo was reclining on a lower bunk. His injured leg was well on the way toward recovery, but the wound and its resultant confinement had chastened him. He had lost tbe brigandish swagger which was his most cherished asset. After acknowledging Inquiries as to his progress he showed such eagerness for news that Elsie told him briefly what had caused the latest uproar. She cheered" him, too, with the announcement made by the engineer and then led him to the topic on which she sought information. "In some ways I regard you as most unfortunate," she said. "I have been told you are here by accident; that you never meant to take the voyage at all. Is that truer'. Frascuelo, delighted to have secured a sympathetic listener, poured forth his sorrows volubly. He bore no ill will against the captain, he said. He knew it was wrong to draw a knife on the chief officer, as his tale was an unlikely one, and he ought to have trusted to a more orderly recital of the facts to obtain credence. "But I was that mad, senorita, I Just saw red, and the drink was yet surging up in me. I felt I must fight somebody, whatever the consequences." "Can you tell me why any one had Buch a grievance against you that you should be thrown into the hold and nearly killed? That was a strange thing to do, especially as you came aboard too late for your work." "Ah, that is the point senorita. You see, we trimmers work in gangs, and the man who flung me through the hatch was the man who had taken my place. I see no reason to doubt that It was he who made me drunk the previous evening, and I know who did that" "What was his name T' "Jose- Anacleto 'Jose the Winebag we call him on the plaza. I ought to have smelled mischief when Joee paid. Never before had I seen him do such a thing. And a good liquor too. Dios, it must have cost him dollars." "What object had he in coming on board Instead of you?" "Ah, there you beat me, senorita. I have twisted my poor brain with thinking of that. We only earned a dollar a head, and bunkering a ship from a flat is hard work while it lasts, whereas one would expect Jose to ride twenty miles the other way to escape such a task. But he was in the plot, and he shall tell me why or" By force of habit Frascuelo put his right hand to his belt, but his sheath knife had been taken from him. He smiled sheepishly, yet his black eyes twinkled. "Plot! Why do you speak of a plot?' asked the girl, hoping that the word betokened some more promising clew than she could discern thus far. "Why did the furnaces blow up? Tell me that and I can answer you. Good, honest coal isn't made of gunpowder. Jose or some one behind him meant to sink the ship, and as I might have proved awkward they were willing that I should go down with her. Maybe I shall meet Jose if we get out of this rat trap. Then we shall have a little talk." Despite the man's shrewd guess as to the cause of the accident in the stokehold Elsie was at a loss to connect the freak of some Valparaiso loafer with the deep laid scheme which contemplated the destruction of the Kansas. She had followed the discussion in the chart room with full appreciation of its significance. Valuable as the ship and cargo were, there was far more at stake in the effect of the loss , on the copper markets of the world. The most important copper exporting "firm in Chile would practically be ruined, while the Parts "ring," of which she had read in the newspapers, would have matters its own way. Financial interests of such magnitude would hardly be bound up with the carousals and quarrels of Frascuelo and "Jose the Winebag." Yet "Have you ever heard of Senor Pedro Ventana," she asked suddenly. "Has he to do with mines?" inquired the Chilean tentatively. "Yes." "I know him by sight, Benorita.' "Would he be acquainted with this man Anacleto, do you think?" "Can't say. Jose would know anybody whom he could touch for a few pesetas." She left him, promising to visit him daily in the future. As she walked back toward the bridge companion she met Dr. Christobal. His fit of 111 humor had gone. He was all smiles, but Elsie, having extracted such information as Frascuelo possessed, was bent on adding to her store of knowledge. Incidentally she meant to widen the doctor's views. "Why have you taken to lecturing me?" she asked, with a simple directness which Christobalwas not slow to profit by. "Because, though old enough to be your father, I have not yet reached years of discretion." "You mean- L suppose, .that Jt every.

one attended to one's own affairs it

would be a less spiteful world? I am inclined to agree with you. Unhappily lfe is largely made op of these minor evils. Yet I should have thought that the desperate conditions under which we exist at this hour might protect me from uncharitableness." "You are pleased to be severe." "No; it is the last privilege of danger that shams should vanish. Yet we plumb the depths of absurdity when we contest the right of any woman, even a young and unmarried one, to appreciate all that a brave man has done and is doing to save her life." Elsie was speaking without heat. She might have been reasoning some disputed point in ethics. The Spaniard was obviously thrown off his guard. "You seem to demand an explanation," he said, with some warmth. "Well, you shall have It I am not a man to flinch from the disagreeable. I admit a sort of Impression, I might almost describe It as a conviction, that Captain Courtenay's manner toward you betokens a growing admiration." "This is the wildest4 folly," cried Elsie in bewilderment "I I cannot Imagine what put such a notion into your head." ' "Let me at least lay claim to a species of altruism," he replied. "I can see fifty excellent reasons why our young and good looking commander should be drawn to yu, nor can I urge one against It" "But he Is already engaged to another woman, so my one reason Is worth more than all your fifty." "Ah, can that really be so?" The tense eagerness in his voice might have warned her were it not that she was shocked by the bitterness which welled up in her heart She was amazed by this Introspective glimpse. It alarmed her. She must convince herself at all costs that she had spoken truly. Although the evidence she tendered was of dubious value, she strove to advance her argument further. "I have prlfed our friendship greatly, Dr. Christobal," she said, speaking with a calm dellberateness that rang hollow in Tier own ears, "so greatly that I am compelled to utter this protest Now, to end a distasteful controversy let me tell you what I know to be true. When the ship was stranded and we all thought our only chance of safety was to take to the boats, by a fluke, the accident of the moment, I was left alone in the captain's cabin. The sea was breaking in through the doorway, and it brought an odd relief to my overburdened mind when I endeavored to rescue the contents of a locker which for some reason had been scattered on the floor previously. Amoug them I found some letters. I think you will believe me when I say that I would not consciously read another person's private correspondence. Just then I was hardly responsible for my actions, and I did happen to see and grasp the meaning of a passage In a letter from Captain Courtenay's sister which alluded to his affianced wife. It is not such a tragic admission, is it? I would scarce have given it another thought were it not for your manner this morning and your words last night I paid 119 heed at the time to the Innuendo that I had come on deck to find him to waylay him, as I have heard men say when speaking of n type of woman I despise. So I resolved to straighten out a stupid little tangle. It would be ridiculous in our present state of suspended animation to let such a slight thing mar our friendship." Elsie was indulging In that most delusive thing, self persuasion. It was not surprising, therefore, that she failed to note the unmixed satisfaction with which Christobal listened. "Am I forgiven, then?" he asked, with a new tenderness in his voice. "Oh, yes; let us laugh at It" "But" "Please let us talk of something more useful. I have a little plan, and you might ask the captain if he approves of it We have plenty of strong canvas. What do you say if I set to work and cover in the promenade deck fore and aft as well as both sides? Then if the Indians try to seize the ship they would not be able to gain a lodgment at so many points simultaneously. It would simplify the defense, so to speak." "Admirable! I am sure Courtenay will agree. Indeed, I am ashamed that we superior males failed to hit on the idea earlier. Before I go let me be certain that my forgiveness la complete." "Shall we quarrel about a degree of blessedness? I assure you I like you more than ever. When all la said and done, you thought I was flinging myself at our excellent captain's head, so you tried to spare me the pangs of un requited love." The words hurt, but she did not flinch. Christobal, anxious to deceive himself, was radiant "Your charity goes too far," he cried. "That was not the exact reason. No, my dear Miss Maxwell; I begin to exercise a newborn discretion. I shall not elucidate that cryptic remark until after New Year's day. Bat I don't mind telling you why I have hit on a definite date. If all goes well with us and we have had so many escapes that Providence may well send us a few more the Kansas should steam out of our little bay of Good Hope about that period. Then I shall remind you of our discussion and keep my promise." With that he left her. After a jrasu or two of surprise, for Elsie could read only one meaning into his words, she hurried up the bridge companion to arouse Mr. Boyle and ask what he wouli like for luncheon. CHAPTER XII. rHE captain was enthusiastic when he heard of Elsie's idea for the protection of the main deck "an excellent notion-" h

FOR MADAM AND MADEMOISELLE ... By BEATRICE IMOGENE HANSEN

COSEY CORNER CrSHIOXS. Quite as many cosey; corner cushions are oblong as square. Some very pretty ones are Just out. Instead of being made of conventional or floral-silk designs they are fashioned of velous any shade desired and trimmed with tapestry panels. " There is much character to some pillow covers having panels or heraldic devices, shields and coat of arms In one corner. If done in tapestry these panels are decidedly effective. Among the prettiest pillows are those covered with exquisitely illuminated leather. These come in both oblong and square shapes and are particularly well suited to a den or library. WITH NEW BATISTES. One of the new bordered batistes is being made Into a captivating little frock. The batiste Is - printed in far apart stripes made up of Copenhagen blue dots arranged vertically. The border das a deep rose design In natural colorings with four narrow horizontal stripes of the blue and a wide band of blue at the side. The batiste is being made widthwise with the borred for the botton of the skirt. The skirt is plain. The bodice is of the kimona order made of the border with a blue band cut In half-edging the fronts and the kimona sleeves. The undersleeves are of the dotted material, long, three-quarters length and shirred Into close fitting, with a cuff at the bottom which is made of lace edged with blue stripes. The V chemisette is of lace and also the stock. RIBBOX NECKLET. A narrow ribbon necklet tied around the collar and looped simply in front, where it is finished with two long tassels, is now almost universally worn abroad, and it is most becoming when narrow velvet ribbon is chosen. In that case, of course, the tassels are either of silver or gold. It is appropriately worn with almost any costume except the strictly tailor-made shirts with stiff collars, for it may be worn with any guimpe or dress yoke buolse, even If made of inexpensive material. METEOR SILK ROBES. Meteor silk makes some of the prettiest robes for evening wear. The fabric Is soft, clinging and the color Is wonderful. Those of the rose and lavender-mauve are most beautiful. Net is well worn, too, but to have a good effect Is must be worked with very coarse floss or chenille. But when a frock is, for instance, of cream net and the flowers are all of delicate tones and the hangings from the belt of a contrasting shade for all the best frocks now employ little scarfs that depend coquettishly from the shoulders or short waist the gown cannot but be becoming. EXTRAVAGANT STYLES. The very last note in extravagant tailor-mades Is the long skirt of striped summer suiting a, broad and delightful colored strlpa colored stripe with a cutaway half Louis coat of taffeta faced with the striped suiting, lined with some brilliant brocade and showing a waistcott of gorgeous embroideries. This is worn with enormous lace and muslin jabots and may certainly be called the "after-noon" tailor-made. Some of the taffeta costumes will be charming later on, as termed it, but he scouted the suggestion that she should undertake the work herself. "You little know what hauling taut heavy canvas means," he said when they met at lunch. "It would tear the 6kin off your hands. No, Miss Maxwell; we can put our Chileans on to that job. I have something better for you to do. Can you map?" "I have copied heaps of plans for my father," she told him. "Excellent! At noon today I took an observation, so I intend to devote an hour to revising the chart Will you help? Joey is in the scheme already. Then the admiralty will gracefully acknowledge the survey supplied by Miss Elsie Maxwell, Captain Arthur Courtenay and Joey, otherwise known as 'the pup.' " His allusion to the dog by name recalled "Jose the Winebag," but Elsie thoaght she would retain that tiny scrap of detective information for the present So she simply said: "You will explain to me my part of the undertaking, of course?" "Certainly. You must first correct the index error. Then you subtract the dip and the refraction in altitude, take the sun s semidiameter from the nautical almanac and add the parallax. Do you follow me?" "Perfectly. It sounds the easiest thing. But I don't wish to hear the remarks of the admiralty when they Bee the result" "I am interested in navigation to the slight extent possible to a mere yachtsman. May I join you?" interposed Christobal. "Oh, yes!" said the captain offhandedly. Elsie repressed the smile on her lips. Did the worthy doctor fear developments if this harmless mapmaking progressed in his absence? She im agined, too, that Courtenay's acquiescence in Christobal's desire to be present was not wholly In accordance with his innermost wish. She promptly crushed that dangerous fancy. The captain was only seeking for some excuse to take her away from the rough work of rigging the extra awnings. How odd that the other thought should have cropped up first! "You still think the Kansas will win clear of her difficulties?" she said rather hurriedly. "After all. the shin's safety is essential to your survey." "Every hour strengthens my opinion," was the confident reply. "Suarez Bays that there is a reasonable chance

we are still allowed to wear the skirt that Just clears the ground. This skirt is pleated all the way down, and has a deep band of cloth or contrasting silk at the feet. The coat may be of half-length or cutaway, made of silk, with a plaited ruche all the way around of the same colored cloth. Sometimes this is worn with a waistcoat, and occasionally with a lace front.

NEW STICKPIN FAD. A new fad for a stickpin is a genuine rosebud, heavily gold-plated. The idea does not sound particularly attractive, but if mint leaves and violet blossoms may be candied, there seems to be no reason why unfortunate buds should not be petrified by the application of good quality of gold. They are used not only as pins, but also as watch fobs and pendants, and a small pearl attached here and there successfully carries out the illusion of dew drops. PARISIENNE'S VEIL. The Parisienne is wearing a veil, or rather a stimulated veil, in plain gauze, bound with a tiny roll of velvet, which sticks out crisply all about the edge of the hat like a scant ruffle. Sometimes the ruffle Is fuller, and Is of lace tucked inside next the fialr, white of course and very faclnatlng against well-kept, well-trained locks. ONE DAY'S MENU. BREAKFAST. Orange Halves.

At any rate, the gale may not be absolutely continuous, and Walker is assured that he can patch up the engines for half speed. Given a calm day a day like this, for instance we can reach the strait in a few hours." "And the Indians?" . "I leave them out of my reckoning.. What else can I do?' "Kill 'em," said Tollemache. Courtenay glanced sharply at his fellow countryman. He disliked these references to the Alaculof bogy in Elsie's presence. "We have dynamite aboard," said Tollemache. "Why not construct a couple of infernal machines which could be fired by pulling a string and let them drift toward the canoes when the Indians are near enough?" "It is worth trying," was Courtenay's brief comment though he saw later that Tollemache's suggestion was a very useful one. Elsie's first task was to prepare a large scale drawing of the southern part of Hanover island as set forth In admirably chart No. 1S37 (sheet 2, Patagonia), which is the only trustworthy record available for shipmasters using the outer passage between the gulf of Penas and the strait of Magellan. It was a simple matter to fill in the few contours given. The neighboring small islands were shown in reasonable detail, but the whole western coast of Hanover island Itself consisted of a dotted line and a solitary peak. Stokes mountain, the height of which could be estimated and its position triangulated from the sea. Even Concepcion strait on the north, and the San Bias channel, on the south, were marked in those significant dotted lines. The coast was practically unknown to civilized man. It was borne in on the girl while she worked that the chief marvel in her present condition was the triumph of science over nature In its most hostile mood. The Kansas boasted all the comforts and luxuries of a well equipped hotel. Seated at the same table as herself was a skillful sailor, using logarithms, secants and cosecants, polar distances and hour angles as if he were In some university class room. She stole a glance at Courtenay. He was so keenly engaged on the business in hand, so bent on achieving accuracy In his figures, that she chlded herself for her reverie. Then she wonrtomd

Big Ferry Business. There are 32 lines of ferries plying between Manhattan island and nearby shores, carrying a daily average of 268,800 passengers. if he ever gave a thought to that promised wife of his, who must soon suffer the agony of knowing that the Kansas was overdue. Elsie was sufficiently well acquainted with shipping to realize the sensatlon that would be created by the first cablegram from Coronel announcing the nonappearance of the steamer In the strait The Valparaiso newspapers would be full of surmises as to the vessel's fate. They would publish full details of the valuable cargo and would give a list of the passengers a.n& olficers. Ah! Ventana would learn then, if he had not heard it earlier, that she was on board. And he alone would understand the true reason of her flight from Chile. Her cheeksflushed, and she applied herself more closely to the chart she was copying. She had left a good deal unsaid in her brief statement that morning. How strange, how utterly unexpected, it was that Ventana's name should fall from Courtenay's Hps Courtenay of all men living! And what did Isobel mean during that last dreadful scene ere she was carried away to the boat by screaming In her frenzy that Ventana had taken "an ample vengeance?" Vengeance for what? Had the half breed dared to make the same proposal to the rich and highly placed' Isobel Baring that he did not scruple to put before the needy governess? Surely that was impossible. There were limits even to his audacity "Well, how is my chief bydrographer progressing?" Courtenay's cheery voice banished the unwelcome specter of Ventana. Elsie started. "I do believe you were day dreaming," said the captain, with a surprised smile. "A penny for your thoughts." "I don't think you can pay me," she retorted, hoping to cover her confusion. "Won't you accept Chilean currency?" "Not on the high seas." "But you are on dry land. Please make a dot on your map at 51 degrees 14 minutes 9 seconds south and 74 degrees 59 minutes 3 seconds west That is the present position of the ship. Let me pin this compass card on the table. Use the parallel ruler, regard each Inch as a mile, and I'll do the rest by guesswork." (To be Continued.)
