Jack Blackburn, the colored lightweight, tonight knocked Bill Ileveron of Australia, out in the third round at the West End club. From the clang of the bell Blackburn had all the better of the fight and repeatedly floored the Australian. In the third round a stiff right to the heart followed by a left Jab to the nose took all of the fight out of Heveran, and though he made a game effort to stall off the Philadelphian, Blackburn sent him down with a left swing to the jaw and repeated it a moment later. Heveron got up weak, only to go down again, when his manager threw up the sponge as he was about att In. KELLY TREATS ARM. ' Chicago, April 13.

ABOUT ADVERTISING No. 3. THE TAILOR WHO PAID TOO MUCH-

(By HERBERT KAUFMAN.) I was buying a cigar last week when a man dropped Into the shop and after making a purchase told the proprietor that he had started a clothes shop around the corner and quoted him prices, with the assurance of best garments and terms. After he left the cigar man turned to me and said: "Enterprising fellow, that; he'll get along." But he won't," I replied, "and, furthermore, I'll wager you that he hasn't the sort of clothes shop that will enable him to." "What made you think that?" queried the man behind the counter. "His ideas are wrong," I explained; "he's relying upon word of mouth 'publicity to build up'his business and he can't Interview enough individuals to compete with a merchant who has sense enough to say the same things he told you to a hundred thousand men while he is telling it to one. Besides, his methods of advertising is too expensive. Suppose he sees a hundred persons every day. First of all he is robbing his business of its necessary direction and besides he is spending too much to reach every man he solicits." "What makes you say that?" "Well, as the proprietor of a clothes shop his own time Is so valuable that I am very conservative In my estimate when I put the cost of his soliciting at five cents a head. "Now, if he were really able and clever he would discover that he can talk to hundreds of thousands of people at a tenth of a cent per individual. There Is not a newspaper in Chicago the advertising rate of which is $1.00 per thousand circulation, for a space big enough In which to display what he said to you." "I never looked at it that way," said the clgarman. It's only "the man who hasn't looked at it that way" who hesitates for an instant over the advisability and profitableness of newspaper publicity. Newpaper advertising is the cheapest channel of communication ever established by man. A thousand letters with one-cent stamps will easily cost fifteen dollars and not one envelope in ten will be opened because the very postage Is an invitation to the wastebasket. If there we.re anything cheaper, rest assured that the greatest merchant In America would not spend Individual sums ranging up to half million dollars a year and over In this form fo attracting trade.

A AAA A AAA A AAAAAA A AAA AA AAAef The Captain of l the Kansas. By LOUIS TRACY, Author of "The Wings of the Morning" "The Pillar of Light." Ec. Copyright, 1906, by Edward J. Clode. Courtenay took his binoculars and went on to the bridge. He called out the apparent distance of each landmark he could distinguish, described it and gave its true bearing. In the result Elsie found she had prepared a clear and fairly accurate chart of the bay and its headlands, while the position of the distant range of moun tains was marked wit tolerable preclBlou. But Courtenay was far from being satisfied. "If I had a base line or even a fresh set of points taken higher up the inlet I could improve on my part of the survey," he said. "Tours is admirable. Miss Maxwell. Of course I know you are an artist,. but mapping is a thing apart. That is first rate." "Perhaps you may be able to secure fresh data when the Kansas puts to sea again," said Christobal. "If I am conning the wheel I must leave the chartmaking entirely to my assistant," replied the captain llzhtlv. "But I do mean to peep a little farther into our estuary. Before the ship sails I may have another spare hour to devote to It." "In what way?" asked Elsie. "By utilizing the canoe. A mile or so higher up the channel I should be clear of the bluff which hides Otter creek. I Imagine it will be possible then to see the full extent of the bay. I must get you to sound Suarez as to the lay of the land." "I hope you will do nothing of the sort," protested Elsie earnestly. "Why? Do you think the canoe unsafe?" "No, no; not that But those waiting Indians. They might see you." "Oh, the Indians again! I shall run no risk of that sort. . It would indeed be the irony of fate if the Uansas slipped her cable and left the skipper behind." "Huh no fear! She'd follow you like

Fielder Joey. I wai tellin Miss Maxwell what a lucky fellow you are. Besides, if you went I'd be in command, an' you know what would happen then. If all else failed, the bloomln' tub would turn turtle in the pool." To emphasize his remarks Boyle blew a big smoke ring and shot several smaller rings through it Elsie felt Caristobal's critical eye on her. She was shading the outlines of the map and trusted that her head was bent sufficiently to hide the telltale color which leaped to her face. But Courtenay wished to hear tnore of this. "I hope you,do not credit everything my chief officer says about me," he said, glancing over her shoulder at the drawing, "nor about himself," he added, as she was too busy to look up. "To my knowledge he has refused the command of two ships since we both Joined the Kansas." "Home orders !" cried Boyle, who was certainly beyond himself. Probably he missed his regular vocal exercise owing to lack of a crew. "My missus says to me: 'You just stick to Captain Courtenay, young feller-me-lad. He's one of the get-rich-quick sort P'raps you'll learn from him how to dodge board of trade inquiries.' You stand on what I told you. Miss Maxwell. You remember commodore? Huh!" Courtenay glanced at the chronometer. "I must be off," he announced. "Tollemache may need some help with his bombs, and those Chileans require looking after." Christobal, too, quitted the chart room to visit his patients. He had said very little while he sat there, and Elsie did not know whether to laugh or cry at the tragic comedy of her environment She was only certain of one thing she would like to box Boyle's ears. She was completely at a loss to account for his persistent efforts to drag in references to their prior conversation. She dared not catechise him. That would be piling up more difficulties for the future. But what possessed him to blurt out such embarrassing details in the presence of the two men whom she most wished to remain in ignorajjee of them? She peeped at Boyle sideways. His eyes were closed, the cigar was between his teeth, and he had a broad grin on his face. She could not guess that the once taciturn chief officer of the Kansas was saying to himself: "My godfather, how Pills glared! There will be trouble on thte shio

Jones White Sox about a woman before long or I'm a Dutchman: An' didn't the skipper rise at the fly too! Huh!" I A Httlo later as Elsie passed alog the promenade deck she saw Courtenay, Tollemache and Walker deep In consultation. They were arranging a percussion fuse of fulminating mercury. While she was watching them Wallrar dropped a broken furnace bar on top of a small package placed on an iron block. Instantly there was a shart report, and Joey, who was an interested - observer, jumped several feet The men laughed, and she heard Courtenay say: "That Is he right proportion of fulminate. Now, Tollemache, I'll help you to fix them. We do not know the moment those reptiles may choose to attack." So the captain did not leave the Alaculof menace altogether out of count. Something rose In her throat, some wave of emotion which threatened her splendid serenity. She ran rather than walked to her cabin, flung herself on the bed and sobbed piteously. It had to come, this tempest of tears. When desperate, odds demanded unflinching courage she faced them dry eyed, with steadfast heart. But today in the bright sunshine and apparent security of the ship sinister death shadows tortured her into rebellion. She did not stop to ask herself why she wept Being a woman, "she yielded to the gust, and when it had ended, with the suddenness of a summer shower, she smiled through the vanishing tears. Her first concern was that none should be aware of her weakness. , "How stupid of me!" she murmured. "What would the men think if they knew I broke down in this fashion?" She looked in a mirror.

7aaffEv Jennings Tiozxs light without any one could see she had been crying, and there was so much work to be done that she did not wish to remain in her stateroom until all tokens of the storm had passed. She searched for a powder puff and was at a loss to discover its where abouts until she recollected that the doctor had borrowed it for the use of a man slightly scalded when his own 6upply of antiseptic powder was ex hausted. So she went into Isobel'B room, entering it for the first time since the Kansas struck ou the shoal. The two cabins communicated, as Mr. Baring had gone to the expense of hav' ing a door broken through the parti tion for the girls' use during the voy age. If Elsie had not already given way to tears she must have faltered now at the sight of her friend's belongings strewed in confusion over the floor, chairs, dressing table and bed. Isobel possessed a gold mounted dressing case the size of an ordinary portmanteau. It held an assortment of pretty and mostly useless knickknacks, and they had all .been tumbled out in a frantic hurry. At first Elsie flinched from fur ther scrutiny, but common sense told her that this despondent mood must be fought She dropped to her knees, found a mother-of-pearl powder box and picked up other scattered articles and replaced them in the dressing case. To accomplish this it was necessary to rearrange various trays and drawers. Portraits of girl friends, including her own, and of men unknown to her, letters, memoranda and other documents were thrown about in disorder. All these she put back in their receptacles, wondering the while what motive had led Isobel to make such a

frenzied search for some special object that she cared cot a jot what became of the remaining articles. ,

Yet who could account for the frenzy of that terrible hour when the captaia announced the ship's danger? Even Courtenay himself. 6he remembered, had emptied a locker in a rapid hunt for the dog's coat but he had laughingly explained his haste later when some chance reference was made to his soaked garments. Anything was explicable in the light of panic. She gathered up a skirt and some blouses, locked the dressing case. put the key in her purse and quitted the room with a heavy heart, for the handling of her friend's treasures had brought sad memories. Passing into the deck corridor, she heard the captain's voice, apparently at a considerable distance. Two hun dred yards away from the ship Courtenay and Tollemache were anchoring a flat framework built of spare hatch es and secured by wooden crosspieces. On It stood the first of the infernal machines. The raft floated level with the water, so its only conspicuous fitting was a small spar and a block, to which a line and an iron bar were at tached. The men looked strange la her eyes at that distance. In the marvelously clear light she could see their features distinctly, and when Courte nay shouted to a sailor to haul in the slack of the line she caught a trumpetlike ring that recalled the scene in the salon when he held back the mob of stewards. His athletic figure, silhou etted against the shimmering green of the water, was instinct with graceful strength. He looked a born leader cf. men, and, as though to mark his quick. ness of observation, no sooner had Elsie glanced over the side of the ship; than he waved a hand to her. ' She sighed. A bitter thought peeped up in her that be was perhaps a trifle careless in showing her these little attentions. She wished he wocM. speak to her of that other girl who awaited him in England. A pleasant state of confidence would be established then. These secret twitches of sentiment were Irritating. - (To be Continued.)
