MIDNIGHT BETTER AFTER A DOCTOR BEAT THE WORMS
Noted Writer Able to Travel Around Once More After Seige In Hospital
Muskogee, Okla.—I am sure that you will rejoice when you know that I have greatly improved, although Dr. H. W. Conrad said I was in bad shape when I reached the Park Sanitarium in Guthrie. While I told him what the other doctors had said about me and what I needed, he said that he would have to find out the cause of the trouble before he could give me any medicine.
Right into his private office he totaled me, on into the room where he makes his examination, and then had me pull off my clothes before him I was a little shamed at first, but since I had to do it, do it I must. Off went them, and he had me to take a seat. Now the next thing he put a bag around my left arm, and put a clock to it, and soon he pumped wind the bag and it got tight around my left arm. He looked at the clock and shook his head a time or two, and said: "You have high blood pressure."
I did not know just what that meant, but then he took out a little flat thing attached to two rubber tubes which he placed in his ear, and chased that thing all over my left side, and breast as if he was trying to eayesdrop the disease germs and see what they were planning to do with me. He heard their conversation, and then asked me for some other specifications, which were furnished him, and I wish you could have seen that man at work. I did not know before that doctors could listen at things talking in you, but this is exactly what Dr. H. W. Conrad did for me, and he told them things they were lying and that they could never do what they had planned to do. and I agreed with him that it was the thing to do.
Now then came my medicine. I started to taking it at once—in fact he gave me the first dose of it and the next day I was feeling better. Miss Daisy E. Conrad prepared my eats, for me and she is one of the most preparingest young women in the country. Dr. Conrad soon had me so that I could walk a wheol mile and he cheated them old worms who had decided to get fat off of my body, by having me furnish them three meals a day, while my soul went marching on to the God who had given it to the world. But I am still here, and you see where I am.
I want to here express my thanks to Dr. H. W. Conrad for permitting me to remain just a little longer. Heaven is my home, but I am not homesick yet. I expect some day to climb them golden stairs and take my place with those who have gone ahead of me. Perhaps this I will do some day before God. I have so many friends to greet me when I get up there. But I have just a few more things to say to you down here. I want to tell you about the plans of our President Harding when he takes his seat. Do you want to be there with me, and if not I am sure you want to hear what I will have to say.
Without a doubt, Dr. Conrad is some doctor, and he knows his business. He is considered one of the best in the country. I would advise you if you are real sick, or going to be real sick that you get in touch with him right now. Get busy and let him keep you from the worms, for they will certainly eat all the meat off your bones if you die. It will be open about the last of February of first of March. Mrs. H. W. Conrad, who has been right by the side of her husband in this business has been on the sick list for a long time and she is about this time in Battle Creek, Mich. In the Park Sanitarium, you have a combination of Mayo Brothers and Battle Creek, and it is only a question of a year or so when this will be one of the greatest health getting back places

in the world. Off goes my hat to Dr. Conrad.
When lingering between life and death, here comes a telegram from Prof. Aaron E. Malone, who is without a doubt my friend, and who is interested in me. He says:
"Sorry to learn of illness. Come through St. Louis. Wire date of arrival. Can I be of assistance to you previous to leaving? If so, wire and will send or come, if needed. I am deferring trip pending your wishes." Then came his name. What more could he do? He was ready to drop everything and did put off a trip he was going to make and remained in St. Louis, to learn of my condition and if he would be needed. This is a great man and great friend. God takes notice of a sparrow, and Mr. Malone took notice of a little fellow like me. God bless him and may he live long. He is a blessing to the people, and is doing a great work.
Dr. Conrad looked right after me, and pronounced that I was out of danger. He gave me some more medicine to take, and discharged me to go about my business with instruction that I be careful, and if I felt any pains or anything else to return to the Sanitamrulum at once. I shall do so. Pray for me that I may live a long time yet.
I made it back to Oklahoma City, spent a few hours there and then down to McAlester, Okla., where I spent a day and night with Rev. and Mrs. Frank Motley. Rev. Motley is one of the young men in the state who believes in doing things. He is an expert on this cleaning business. He worked for a laundry for a long time bringing them in plenty of money and then he bought out a business of his own, and believe me, honey, he is doing some business in this man's town.
Mrs. Motley is right by his side, and she is one more worker. She is bookkeeper, and keeps things in good order. She is a wonderful little woman, and those two people are pulling together. They looked upon me as a father and had me to talk to them. They tried to do all in their power to make me happy. May they live long.
Off from McAlester to Muskogee, Okla., where I am here, the guest of Rev. J. T. Johnson, D. D., pastor of the First Baptist church, and who is one of the leading preachers in Oklahoma, although he is not making much fuss, but just doing the work of a real preacher. He came to this state from Georgia, where he was pumpkins in the Baptist cause there, and a leader of men. He has fallen right inline here and is doing some real good work. I am proud of him. Dr. Johnson was born in Oglethorp county, Ga., and that means in the country, although there was a little one-horse country town, known as Stévens, and he would claim that as his birthplace. He attended school in the county, and then to the Gerald Normal school and got his finishing touch at Morehouse college, Atlanta, Ga. This accounts for his wonderful ability. In this town he is doing a great work and has the love and respect of the people.
I am not going to be able to say any more at this time, but I am getting ready for the next big meeting which will be in next summer. I have been to a few schools. I went to one high school, where the principal is indeed a butch of English, and who would stand at the head of his class in any English slaughter pen. But he stood in with "Marse Frank" and he is keeping him on top. I will have to tell yuo about this wonderful professor in my next letter. It was not in Texas, and it was not in one of the towns I have mentioned in Oklahoma, but it is in another county and state. Look for it. The white people will put anything on us. Some of them are going to land in hell for their evil deeds and you may tell them I said so.
Can it be true? I was not expecting it. But the unexpected happens in this world. In looking over a Chicago paper this week, my attention was attracted to a news story announcing that there had been a misunderstanding, in the Haley family, and that Mrs. Victorial Clay-Haley, of St. Louis, had asked the court to grant her a legal separation from her husband, so that she could marry again if possible. Judgment
Kansas City, Kansas, Friday, February 4, 1921
MR. AND MRS. WARD LEAVE FOR HOME
Mr. Vernon G. Ward and his wife left Tuesday evening for Pine Bluff, Ark., where Mrs. Ward's parents live. They have been among us in a very satisfactory time since last fall. Mr. Ward coming from Benzie county, Michigan, where he owns a large tract of land and has established a townsite known as Homestead, which is four years old. This company, which is known as the Homestead Development Association, have and are selling lots and small farms to our people of which is being purchased rapidly by many of our best citizens here and elsewhere. Mr. Ward established an office here, at 1314 North Fifth street and has left Mr. Thomas Kennedy, editor of The Advocate, in charge, who will look after the business here. A large number of lots and five and ten-acre tracts have been sold to Kansas Citians, of which some expect to leave early in the spring for Benzie county. Mr. Ward will return to his holdings about March 1st, where he will superintend the development of tracts and lots of the new comers, who have purchased this winter, as well as other tracts and lots, according to their contracts.
Mr. and Mrs. Ward made many friends in their short stay with us and their acquaintances regretted very much to have them take their leave from among us. While here they were pleasantly housed at the beautiful and model home of Mr. and Mrs. P. A. Coleman, 1959 North Sixth street.
EDUCATION DAY GLOWING SUCCESS
Educational Sunday at First A. M. E. church, for the development of Christian education at Western University was all that could be expected, the day's contributions just from small donations were something like $350.
The faculty and student body of the school were present in full force at the 9 p.m. meeting, who had charge of the afternoon's program. Prof. R. J. Jackson, the greatest choral teacher in all the West, with his choruses, quartettes, and Prof. Popes' splendid orchestra furnished the program, which was graciously enjoyed by the 1,200 or more present. An African student delighted the audience with one of their native songs. A number of educators from our high and graded schools were called upon for short talks.
President F. J. Peck presided.
Mr. McCombs, on Fifth street and New Jersey avenue, is a little better.
Mr. Jennings, at Twelth street and Barnett avenue, is reported sick.
alone can tell who is right or who is wrong in these cases. He says that she had been off since she joined the new religion, and that he had been forced to cook his meals, and she says he flew at her throat and was about to send her to an everlasting sleep or something like that? We shall watch development with suspended breath and judgment. It will all come out in the washing. Let us hope that it is a mistake. But this is a new day, a new woman, and an old man. Mrs. Haley cut a figure in the last election. She was a national character and assisted in directing things, and then she was an alternate. She helped to put over some things. God bless the people and keep them together until separated by death. I hope they will do away with divorce law.
J. O. MIDNIGHT.
THE CRUISE- IS NEARING ITS END
"The Cruise of the Cleo," our serial story, will end next week. If our subscribers want another, they should indicate it, as we aim to please our readers, at any cost.

It is seldom any of the smaller newspapers secures a story-worthy of publication in a national magazine until it is several years old. Let us know soon if you want another published.

E. church, corner Eighth street and Nebraska avenue, February 9, at 8 p.m. Miss Ovington. is termed the Harriet Beecher Stowe of our day, for two reasons: Her work through the association and here interest manifested in several books that deal with the color line. She is not only a friend to colored pepple, but, to all the people, and her efforts to better the conditions of colored America is an effort to solve, a human problem. To better relations of white and colored people for the ultimate good of both.
She has spent time, money and energy in this work. The great wonder is that any white woman in America can ever come to understand the Negro and the Negro question as Miss Ovington understands them.

IN MEMORY
In loving remembrance of my dear friend, Miss Carrie M. Carney, who departed this life one year ago February 4, 1920. Surrounded by friends I am lonesome In the midst of my pleasures I am blue; A smile on my face, still a heartache,
A precious one from us has gone,
A voice I loved is stilled,
A place is vacant in my home,
Which never can be filled.
A loving friend, true and kind,
No friend on earth like her I'll find,
God called her home, it was His will,
But in my heart she lingers still.
May God grant her eternal rest.

SAINTED WOMAN CALLED TO HER ETERNAL HOME Remains of Mrs. Mary Queeny Laid to Rest Died Suddenly at Her Home
On last Friday, January 28, about 11 o'clock a.m., the shocking news reached hundreds of our homes that Mrs. Mary Queeny, one of the city's prominent race women, had been found dead in her home, at 517 Nebraska avenue.
Mrs. Qneeuy lived here with her nephew, Mr. Milton Collins, who is a railway mail clerk, who went out on his regular run Thursday evening and while his aunt had not been feeling so well for several days, she was abel to be up and take care of her domestic duties. Evidently she had arose from her night's repose and started to build a fire in the heating stove down stairs, as her lifeless remains were found by a neighbor about the hour mentioned, the body still being warm. On the account of to worth and service this great Christian woman had been to this whole community for nearly a quarter of a century and the suddenness of her death greater was the shock to those who knew and so dearly loved her.
The night was never too cold or stormy for her to go to the relief or give service to needed humanity. She was a loveable Christian character, going about doing good, wherever it was needed, and she was never out of employment.
Mrs. Mary Queeny was born October 15, 1854. at Karsaw, Benton County, Missouri, and was 67 years old, and one of 17 children. All have passed away with the exception of one sister, Mrs. Judy Hayes, of Sedalia, Mo., nephews Larney Hayes, St. Louis, Mo.; C. H. M. Collias, Kansas City, Kansas; Dr. John Henley, Kansas City, Mo.; nieces, Virginia Henley, Kansas City, Mo.; Florence Caldwell and Magie Chasteen, of Sedalia, Mo.
The funeral was held Monday at 2 p. m., from the First A. M. K. church, of which she had been a devoted, sincere Christian worker for more than a score of years. Was a member of the Deaconness Board, Mite Missionary society and leader of Class Number 14.
The church resolutions were many, and impressive as to the qualities and service of the deceased. She had long been a member of Rebecca Tabernacle No. 11, who were out in large numbers, of whom had charge. They had appropriate resolutions.
Rev. J. F. Griffin, her friend and beloved pastor, delivered the eulogy, which was beautiful and an easy task.
The floral offerings, which came from the church and friends, were profusely large and lovely.
Rev. G. E. Horsey, an old and intimate friend of the family, made a beautiful talk, as to the life of this sainted woman.

FRIDAY, FEBRUARY-4, 1921
This church, being without a pastor, the Rev. S. H. Trotter was called to preach Sunday, January 30. There was a large crowd to listen to the speaker. Rev. Trotter filled the pulpit at 11 o'clock and took for his text Prov. 21-23. "H's tongue keepeth his soul from trouble," using for his subject the five members of the body. The text was explained so that even a child could understand and we should take these texts for our daily example. He showed us the damage our tongue could do and if we are Christians our tongu belongs to God and should be kept from using any language that dictates to the Holy Spirit. Rev. Trotter is a young minister and is sermon was enjoyed by his hearers.
The Sunday school also was good, and Rev. Trotter made a nice lecture to the Sunday school.
The B. Y. P. U. is progressing fine. Had a fine lesson.
Rev. Trotter again filled the pulpit at 8 o'clock, after a spiritual prayer meeting. Rev. Brown conducted the vocal exercises and Rev. Trotter's text was Genesis 3-17, subject, "What Sin Can Do ibr Man." Sin robs a man of peace. The meeting was spiritual all day. We are praying that Rev. Trotter will be a great Gospel man some day. Will be glad to have you come to our service. Rev. Trotter's address is 1519 North Eighth street. Kansas City, Kansas.
Mr. Edward Stine was born in Greenville, Kentucky, February 20 1866; died January 14 1921, age 54 years and 24 days. He lived in this city over 30 years. Was married to Miss Fannie Williams. He leaves a wife, two sons, and two grandchildren to mean their loss. The deceased had been a member of Mt. Zion Past church for a number of years. He also leaves a host of admiring friends.

METROPOLITAN TEMPLE NOTES
Again a large multitude attended this church at 11 a.m. Pastor Holmes preached a scholarly doctrinal sermon from Rom. 6:4 "Therefore we are buried with Him by baptism unto death; that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in the newness of life." He gave the Greek words for immersion and told told that it is found 80 times in the Bible. Said, "No one questions baptism, but the greatest thing in the Baptist church is being born again." We do not teach Baptismal Regeneration but teach Baptism as an ordinance. John's baptism was the same mode, but was unto remission. Since Jesus came the Bible teaches a believer's baptism. John's disciples were rebaptized in the name of Jesus. Baptism commemorates our Lord's death, burial and resurrection. After this great sermon nearly twenty were baptized in the most beautiful glass baptistry in any church in any race in the two cities. While the vast audience in the balconies and auditorium sang appropriate songs.
At 8 p. m., the large congregation listened to an invocation by Rev. Stewart and a good sermon by Rev. Singletary, from Acts 7:34. Theme, "Can the Lord depend on you?" The ordinary collections are over $200 every service. Nearly thirty were fellowshipped into the church Sunday night and "still there are more to follow."
Next Sunday, February 6, at 11 a. m., more will be baptized. Come to this church and be made whole. All are invited, sinners especially.
Prayer meeting and Bible reading Wednesday nights and Sundays at 6 p. m. The Sunday school and B. Y. P. U. are doing well.
The Sewing Circle was served fine dinner at Mr. and Mrs. Reese's. They have larger meetings at the church since Mrs. U. S. Rogers is president. The members will send a box to Mrs. Frances Watson, missionary in Africa.

@ THE CRUISE OF ®

BEE ERB
Synopsis:—A disgraced sailing
master, Marchbanks, is engaged by a
mysterious hunchback, to sail a
steamer down the Pacific coast of
Central Ameficd, on a mysterious er-
rand. He discovers that the car csr-
rying him to the yessel is in charge
of 2 young lady who wears a chauf-
feur’s uniform. Unseen forces try
te prevent them reaching the vessel.
They are arrested and taken to a
police station. They are released by
the desk sergeant in charge when the
gitl impersonates the daughter of a
eminent politcal “boss.” March-
banks attempts to pay a second
chauffeur and is accused of passing
counterfeit money, Finally they reach
the vessel, the “Clee.” They are
pursued by a tug, and Miss Person
2 passenger jumps overboard to io:n
@ man on the smal boat. The tug is
repelled with hot water. The enter
the Ocos river, during the play of a
searchlight, which causes Reuntree
’ to commit suicide, fearing arrest. In
the midst of a tropical hurricane,
they make entrance into the river,
but a sunken log damages the ma-
chinery. , While fixinng it, three na-
tives board the ship by way of trees
and spy, then disappear, Crawford
confesses to the captain his love for
Miss Rountree, whom the captain
also loves. Marchbanks. Archibald
and Miss Rountree start on the trip
overland, after having been warned
nat to go by the elder Miss Rountree,
Secret service officers ate about to
board the Cleo as the three leave the
the vessel. After half a day’s mrach
Archibald disappears and they camp.
“You've got about thirty seconds,
Fred, and then you'll be a thing, not
/a man, and so will Deputy Marshal
Turner. Miss Rountree, Pve navi-
gated a crazy boat.down here and
through a treacherous river to find
what you want. I’m going to have
it and give if to you and then I'll
go back und gel a job as deck-hand.
Two seconds, Tred!”
I breathed twice and: then Jeveled
the revolyer. The hammer was
rising when he shouted:
“PU give in. Here it is in my
pocket. For an example of prehis-
toric cave-man nut, Pl reesmmend
Captain Marchbanks.’ You've got it
put all over old Nevo and all that
Donch, captain. Tot I'l! te'l you. the
only reason I have for wanting to
keep my limbs whole is that Pl get
al ebance to kill you some day.”
“That's all right,” I resied. “Now.
Archibald, come over and get this
paper und Yl oversea some other
measurements.”
Fred’s pistol was laying near
where [ stood, and, thinking some-
one might secure it and give me
trouble, I stooped, secured it, and so
had all the ayms of the parties with
the exception of the small ene I had
carried before Archibald had given
me his. 1 don't know to this day
why he hadn’t used it on me. I sup-
pose he must have forgolten all
about it, for he looked surprised
when I jerked it from his pocket.
With all the strength I could muster
¥ threw the others as far as I could
out into the ashes, where they never
could be found in our generation.
Then I kept guard with Elsie’s pis-
tol. I knew I had the only cartridges
in the party to fit it,
I had Archibald measure over the
new route twice. Hach time the Jine
ended where jt began—at the steel
point in the doorway. ‘Turning to
Turner, 1 said: <
“Grab that pick and dig. Your
arms need some exercise, after all
this ‘hands up" business.”
Half an hour later, as the sun was
Retting, he brought forth « smal!
box about an inch thick and four
inches square. 1 shxwed it to Miss
Rountree.
“Ys this what you want?" I asked.
“I do not know,” she said.
Fred burst into a fit of laughter.
“Nuts,” he said, “Someone has pulled
a hoax, and, if I' mistake not, it was
my revered dad, and may the devi
roost on his ashes, It was one mil-
Tion dollars in gold we came here
aftér—and I'm going back with «
broken stam, That box—see, what it
contains, Archibald.”
‘The tick ‘pressed its side with
a large thumb and forefinger,
. “Its empty, sir,” he said.
=“Then take"it, my bony friend;
Fred returned, “and-go and evange
‘I watGng-stone while Archibald
called the-natives back and “Turner
‘and Miss Réntree dréSsed Fred’s
Broken arm. When they had finished
i Was dat. The case we had been
put ts so muck trouble t secure wad
‘my pocket.
“Can you make these people com-
fortable for the night?” I asked
Aichibald.
“I think so, sir,” he answered.
Through all the recent action the
black had been the least excited. I
put that down to his religious train-
ing. While he wasn’t exactly anx-
ious to die, he seemed to think that
if he was compelled to, he would
stand a pretty good show in the next
world. He did not show the utter
disappointment the others manifest-
ed. “The Lord giveth and the Lord
taketh away,” seemed to eccur to
him, Now, since he had found what
he sought and it proved to be nothing
like the million dollars in gold, he
was bearing up under the reaction
better than the rest.
“Are there wild animals here, de
you think, Archibald?” [ asked.
“Not in the path of the volcanic
flow, sir,” he replied respectfully.
“Why?”
“You can get the party back to
Ocos without arms, then?”
“Yes, sir, We will take the little
natives as prisoners. They are what
we would call in America ‘wharf
rats’ They were employed by Mr.
Fred to watch for the Cleo and that
is how three of them happened to
drop aboard the other night, and es-
cape again.”
“Well, Archibald,” 1 said, “if you
can get them all back to the coast
again, I'm bidding you good-bye. I
was somewhat hasty a while ago,
but no man can call me a liar delib-
erately and get away with it, and I
really wanted to see what we could
pet”
“But can you get back alone?” he
asked.
“Qasily. The moon will be up
within half an hour. According to
wha tI’ve seen of this country I can
make it an easier way than we did
in emuing. IU follow the edge of
the ashes to the river and then get
a boat down it, If I can’t buy a
boat, I ean steal one.”
“But you shay be exrried out to
sea,” he protested.
“I will risk that. L think I can
land about where the Cleo is or was,
and make it overland to Ocos.”
“I wish you luck, sit.”
I strode out into the darkness and
paid no xttention to the rest. [ would
have been pleased to get just one
crack at Turner and another at
Fred, had he been able-bodied, but I
put that off until another time.
T put my knowledge of the lay of
the land into eperation on the trip.
I waded the ashes until 1 veached the
edge of the strip. Then I followed
along where they were not of a
depth of more than two or three
inches and so i had a smooth path,
similar to a sandy beach, all the way
down to the river. Jt was nearing
novning when I reached the viver. I
sat down to smoke « pipe and while
1 vested I heard the sound of church
hells a league or so below. 1 walked
down there and found I was’ in
Limenes, :
With my ignorance of the lan-
guage it took me an hour to bargain
for a leaky boat. After a cup of
ccffee, served by the boatman, I
pashej off from the hank and dvift-
ed down stream, the native shouting
directions after me. He thought the
crazy foreigner was going to his
death in the breakers pf the Pacific
Ocean.
It was mid-afternoon when I
veached the Jake where { could look
across the sind spit and see Ocas.
T found the place | had left the Cleo,
but it was not there. Beaching the
boat T wathed ont past the new-made
graves und down toward the little
sun-bitten port. Stand‘ng a mile off
were two steamers, One of them I
recognized as the ship of which I
‘was master,
‘The boatman had given me a few
native coins as change for the three
‘real good silver dollars American
money I had purchased the boat with
and going into a cantina at the edge
| of town, I threw a coin across the
BanATiS cute oleie @ 6 5) Sos ik
ish,” I said.” “We found” nothing
‘oh,,yes, we.found this,” and I handed
her the small packet, which, until
this moment, I had forgotten.
“Are you sure Fred hasn't sent
you back, and that he will get the
million dollars?" .
“{ don’t think he will,” I assured
her. “We had Some trouble and I
had to shoot Fred. I broke one of
his arms,”
“I thought you would have trou-
ble if you met him. By the way,
Captain Marchbanks, I have had the
Cleo brought around into the road-
stead, as they call it We are’going
to take a cargo of toffee back to
Friseo, I mortgaged all 1 had to
Secure the steamer for my borther,
and I want to save that money.”
“But why was this—2”
“Tl tell you,” she began. “Fred’s
father, my other brother, was a rich
coffee planter down here until the
voleano erupted. It caused his
death. A will was found which gave
the entire fortune to Fred. When or
where he married Fred’s mother is
not clear, as we know little of his
life down here. First he brought
Elsie to us. The doctor, my late
brother, adopted her. A few years
Tater he appeared with Fred. Fred
is wild and witlr the richer, unprin-
cipled class, has made himself a
political power in San Francisco. He
seemed to be rolling in wealth, while
We were comparatively poor, One
day recently, while emptying out a
drawer fall of old papers, Elsie
found a paper with some strange
characters written on it. The paper
had been sent her with some little ef
fects belonging to her father short-
ly after the earthquake and volcanic
eruption that killed him. The paper
Was a sort of memoranda of meas-
urements. Archibald, who had lived
With Fred’s father and who was pre-
paring for the ministry, asserted
that my brether alvays had declared
he was concealing a million dollars
for Elsie when she became a grown
woman. That clue eventually led
Deetor Rountree to see Fred about
outfitting a vessel to go after the
treasure, as we thonght, amounting
to a million dollars, Ejs'e promised
if it was secured she would give half
of it to Doctor Rountree, who was
intensely religious and needed money
to prosecute his hobby, the conver-
sion of the black people in the un-
civilized- countries. We searched
through every paper Elsie had ever
received from her father and finally
fond an old memoranda book with
what we were pleased’ to call the
‘key’ in it. Fred promised to help
us outfit the vessel, but after I had
mortgaged all 1 had to purchase the
vessel he put every obstacle possible
in the way of our going. My poor
brother mast have been crazed, for,
just before the Cleo was ready, to
sail he found he was out of money.
At almost the same time a man
called on him, sent, no doubt, by
Fred and showed him some coun-
terfeit money, which he offered to
him if the doctor would pass it, Af-
ter some time, the doctor fell, but
he was sorely tempted, oor fellow.
He thought he could replace it once
we had secured the treasure, but the
crime weighed on his mind and he
drank a little on the voyage down.
And when he saw the searchlight
shine jnto his cabin his nerve
Slipped; he thenght He was to be
publicly disgraced, and he made
away with himself, So now Elsie
will be a beggar and 1 will lose all I
have, unless, "perchance, we can
make something out of the Cleo.”
T,.told her the story of the
changed ‘key,
“I think that Miss Person secared
the right one,” she said, “although
there was one in a bank vault in San
Francisco which could have heen Se-
cured after a wait of two weeks.
Fred got the right one somehow.”
“May I smeke, Miss Rountree?” I
asked,
“Certainly, captain,” she said, and
© btA es SR BL ee ES ea
tion for about a year she can buy 3
million porterhouse steaks if she
wishes, for shell have a lot of
momey when she becomes twenty-
one,” *
With trembling hands the old wo-
man read and reread the papers.
“Fred is not even a son,” she re-
marked. “I am indeed glad to know
that, for he is not like the rest of
the Rountree family. My family,”
and the old lady drew herself up
Proudly, “feared God and honored
their parents, and now, 'Oh, Lord, I
thank thee,” and before 1 realized
what she was doing she wes down
on her knees on the earthen floor,
praying. , 2
When she finished she war again
@ woman of business.
“Will you please take charge of
this paper, Captain Marchbanks,”
she said. “I see there is a British
{ consulate here and, perhaps they will
‘allow you to ¢lace them jin their
"safe. Don't go near the United
| States consulate, however,” she suid
‘with a bitter smile, “I called on
| him this morning and when I told
him I was from Kansas he told me
| he knew of several of the newly ac-
| quired American islands in ‘the Pa-
| cifie, but had never heard of the is-
| land of Kansas., Qur consular ser-
| viee in the Latin-Américan countries
| could be improved some, I think.”
“Where did the revenue cutter go
from here?” I asked.
“When they fornd Doctor Roun-
tree was dead, they went south. I
‘lid not ask their destination.”
| Half an hour later the papers were
in a stout safe and [walked down to
| the beach and got a boat to take me
‘out to the Cleo. It was goo! to walle
|a deck again. After a bath und a
shave I called Crawfrd into the
cabin.
“Tomorrow you'll go ashore. The
party will be back then und { know
you'll be glad to see some of them.”
|” No shore glad than I am see you
| safely back, sir,” the boy said. “I'd
Tike to sail with you more, but I've
made other plans. This cruise has
demonstrated to me that my ‘game’
‘foot will prevent me following the
| sea. As 1 sail once, it’s the quict
country life for me, with a few
chickens and ducks and other things,
and someone to sort of lock after
| me.”
| “I understand,” I said. “When we
Ret to Frisco I’m going over to Ma-
| nila, T think, The British consul
j told me about a man out there—an
j OM! sailing mate of mine I'd lost track
of who owns three or four coast
traders, and he'll give me a berth.”
“Don’t you like the les, sir?” he
asked. “Mise Rountree told me she
would like to own a vessel perman-
netly and I know she I'kes yor,”
“Vhings may have changed since
then, old man,” | said.
I knew f would not be aontent to
| sail one of Ellsie’s vessels, even if it
| Were a ease of doing that or shipping
asa man before the mast. The girl
one loves will net do as an owner,
Least of ull wou'd I like to come into
port and make my way to the office
jot another man's wife to make a re-
pat of the voyage. Each time it
| would be a bite out of my heart.
| “[ think it’s the islands for me,
| Crawford,” I said, “4 like the eli-
| mate out there.” '
I was sitting’on deck that evening
and Crawfprd was below, when I wax
hailed by a man in a launch. I
| Ieoked around and saw the same lit-
1 tle revenue cutter bobbing up and
| down a cablé length away. The lit-
[tle eraft had arrive! so silently that
T had not noticed it.
I ordered a cousle of suilors to
lower the ladder and a young man
came on deck.
“Captuin Marehbanks?” he asked.
J pushed_a deck chair toward him
and nodded, 3
“I'm Thorp, of the revenue cutter
Spitfire. Just now I'm hunting a
man named Fred Rountree.”
FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 4 i997
Were preparing to flood the country
with real good~ counterfeit money,
and had it not been for the fact that
Doctor Rountree spent some of it
Prematurely, we never . Would have
caught them before they had began
and probably closed operations alt
over the United States and Mexico.”
“They installed machinery and se-
cured workmen little less expert
than those employed by the gov-
ernment. They made one little slip
—gave some of the phoney money
to Doctor Rountree—and now we've
Sot all of them but Fred Rountree.
We've just been up to Salina Cruz to
use the telegraph, and when he
comes in he will become a guest of
the government, There's a nice little
cell awaiting his occupaney at Fort
Leavenwerth.
T told him about my experience
with Fred and Turner,
“I don’t know Turnei,” Thorp said.
“But as he is Rountree’s companion
we'll take him along, too.” .
