LEWIS GETS COLD FEET.
Los. Angeles, Cal., April 10. A week
Rgro Jimmy Gardner and Harry Lewis
"were 1 matched to flgrht twenty-five
rounds before Jim Jeffries' club the
bsttle being scheduled for April 23,
which was to be the opening battle in
the new pavilllon. Transportation was
wired both figthers. Wednesday Jef
fries received word from his Eastern
representative that Lewis had cold feet
, and had returned transportation money
and withdrawn from the match.
Yesterday Unk Russell was substi
tuted in place of Lewis. Today word
was received by Jeffries that Russell
also- had passed up the match
terday by letting down the collegians
with two hits. He pitched the full nine
innings.
CHICAGO BOY FAVOKITE.
NEW YORK TO PAEIS RACERS
BALKED BY ALASKAN SNOWS.
Valdez, Alaska, April 9, via Skagway
and Seattle, April 10. The Thomas car
In the New York to Paris auto race
was shipped for Seattle today, the at
tempt to cross Alaska being abandoned.
Stage men and . mail carriers had
painted such dismal pictures, of the
prospects awaiting on the roads that
Schuster decided to inspect them be
fore risking burial in' a snow drift and
.losing all chance of carrying the Am
erican flag into Paris.
The drivers started on a ten mile
, trial over the trail. "When the party
: reached Camp Comfort, ten miles out,
.all were absolutely convinced of the
.Impossibility of driving an auto
through the country. .
, The only path was a sleigh track
thirty-four Inches in its widest part.
.One step beyond this a man flounders
. ,to the waist. The Alaskan snow crust
Is a Paris myth. Snow is now melting
in drifts six to fifteen feet deep.
San Francisco, April 10. Apparently
trained to the hour for their fight to
morrow afternoon, Packey McFarland
and Britt rested today with the ex
ception of a little light road work to
keep op edge. Sporting men expect
the greatest contest in months when
the men meet at Colma.
Although Britt is supported by thou
sands of friends the weight of money
has made McFarland a favorite at 9
to 10. Many wagers, some of them
large, have been sent from Chicago by
admirers of the little fighter. For a
time it seemed likely that he would
enter the ring a strong favorite, but
Britt's work In the last week of his
training has convinced his friends that
he had got back into good condition,
and they poured a flood of money into
the pool boxes. Britt has seen a good
deal of the gay life in the last year,
and it was doubted whether he could
get back into form.
WAGNER AGAIN SAYS "NIEN."
Pittsburg, Pa., April 10. Barney
,Dreyfuss. president of the Pittsburg
ball club, and Honus Wagner, the
former shortstop of the team, arrived
here today to be present for the pri
.nary election to be held tomorrow
.Both men are Interested in the out
come of the elections.
Wagner reiterated his former state
ment that he would play baseball this
.season, and President .Dryfuss said
there was nothing new In Wagner's
rcase.
BALL PLAYER HAS SMALLPOX,
Cedar Rapids, la., April 10. Harry
McKeen of Charles City, a member of
5 the Cedar Rapids Three I league team,
iwas found to have smallpox this aft-
ernoon and taken to the pesthouse.
lEigth other players, all new men, have
-been quarantined. It is probable a de
tention hospital will be established at
the ball park to allow the men to prac-
tlce when the others are not on the
!grounds. It is not believed the case
.will seriously interfere with the plans
of. the team.
BURNS SENDS FIGHT FORFEIT.
Manager Netll Says lie is Willing to
Meet Jack Jobnson in Ring.
New York. April 10. Tommy Burns
Is not trying to avoid Jack Johnson.
Instead he Is willing to sign at once to
met him for a good side bet.
This was the Information brought by
"Billy" Neil, manager of Burns, who
reached here today on the steamer
Lusltania. He said he had been sent
here especially to arrange a match with
ohnson on behalf of Burns, and that .he
wished not only to cover Johnson's for
felt of $2,500, but to put up 52,500 ad
ditional. He Bald he was willing to
let the money remain In the hands of
the stake-holder for twelve months.

SOX IN CLOSE FINISH.
Champaign, 111., April 10. The final
game of the sox-llllnl series here was
even more sensation than that of yes
terday. The score today was 1 to 0
In favor of the sox and was played
In fast time, just one hour and three
minutes being taken to run through
with the nine innings. Nick Altrock
was on the rubber for the sox, and he
duplicated the feat of "Doc" White yes-

Charlie Comiskey says that the
White Sox cleared $7,000 on the trip
to the coast.

While Charlie Starr Is not a Hans
Wagner, still he is doing pretty good
work for the Pirates and will doubtless

New York fans are banking on Chris
ty Matthewson becoming the king of
Ditchers once more. Matty looks to be
all right.
The Brooklyn and Boston teams are
nnnnrir!? to make a hard fight to
break Into the first division of the Na
tional league this year.,
Freddy Parent of the White Sox has
discarded his head protector. As a
result the pitchers are now throwing
at his noodle, which causes much dodg
ing on the part of Frederick.
It's a good thing "Ty" Cobb finally
signed with Detroit. If 'he hadn't all
of the Atlanta sporting scribes would
have become anarchists and bomb

Arthur Irwin, manager of the Wash
ington team in the new Union league,
says there Isn't a Tri-State player
strong enough for the Union league.
He didn't say whether he meant strong
enough in talk or ball playing.
The umpires for the New England
league this season will be M. J. Stock

ABOUT ADVERTISING No. 2.
THE CANNON THAT MODERNIZED JAPAN.
(BY HUBERT KAITMAX.)
Business is no longer a man to man contact, In which the mer
chant and the patron establish a personal bond, any more than battle
is a hand-to-hand grapple where bone and muscle and sinew decide
the outcome. Trade as well as war has changed in Its aspect both
are aon fought at long range.
Just as a present day army of heroes would have no opportunity
to display the individual valor of its members, just so a merchant who
counts upon his personal acquaintanceship for success is a relic of
the past a bnslnesa dodo.
Japan changed her policy of exclusion to foreigners after a fleet
of warships battered down the Satsuma fortifications. The Samurai,
who had hitherto considered their blades and bows good enough, dis
covered that one cannon was mlghter than all the swords In creation
if they could not get near enough to nse them. Japan profited by the
lesson. She did not wait until farther ramparts were battered to
pieces, but was satisfied with her one experience and proceeded to
modernize her methods.
The merchant who doesn't advertise is pretty much In the same
position as that in which Japan stood w.hen her eyes were opened to
the fact that times had changed. The long range publicity of a com
petitor will as surely destroy your business as the cannon of the for
eigners crumbled the walls at Satsuma. Unless you take the lesson
to heart, unless you realise the importance of advertising, not only as
a means of extending your business but for defending It as well, you
must be prepared to face the consequences of a folly as great as that
of a duelist who expects to survive In a contest In which his ad
versary bears a sword twice the length of his own.
Don't think that it's too late to begin, because there are so many
stores which have had the advantage of years of cumulative advertis
ing. The city is growing. It will grow ever more next year. It needs
Increased trading facilities just as it's hungry for new neighborhoods.
But it will never again support neighborhood stores. Newspaper
advertising has eliminated the strength of being locally prominent,
and five-cent street car fares have cut out the advantage of being
"around the corner." A store five miles away can reach out through
the columns of the daily newspaper and draw your next door neighbor
to its aisles, while you sit by and see the people on your own block
enticed away wUhout your being able to retaliate or supply new cus
tomers to take their place.
It Is not a question of your ability to stand the cost of advertising
but of being able to survive without it.. The thing you have to con
sider is not only an extension of your business but holding what you
already have. . '
Advertising is an investment, the cost of which is In the same pro
portion to its retnrns as seeds are to the harvest. And It is Just as
preposterous for you to consider publicity as an expense as it would
be for a farmer to hesitate over purchasing a fertilizer if he discovered
that he could profitably increase his crops by employing It. '
(Copyright, 1903, by Tribune Company, Chicago.)
"That Is odd, exceedingly so. I once
heard a rumor but perhaps it is un
fair to mention it in this connection.
Yet it cannot hurt any one if I state
that Isobel Baring antl he were well,
how shall I pot it? at any rate, there
was a lively summer hotel sort of at
tachment between them."
Isobel has never told me that," said
Elsie, nerving herself for a personal
disclosure which was obviously dis
agreeable. "I own a small ranch near
Quillota, and as there was a chance of
copper feeing located there Mr. Baring
advised me to employ Yentana as an
expert prospector. Indeed, Mr. Baring
himself sent Yentana to examine the
property and report on it He came to
see me. He told me there were no
minerals of value on my land, but I
could never free myself from him aft
erward. In fact, I am running away
from him now."
She uttered the concluding words
with a genuine indignation which
forthwith evaporated in its uncon
scious humor. Everybody laughed,
even the girl herself, and Boyle grunted:
Huh shows the beggar's good taste
anyhow."
Courtenay perhaps thought that If he
encountered Yentana again he would
take the opportunity to reason with
him in the approved manner of thei
high seas. And as there was no need
to prolong a topic which caused Elsie
any sort of . embarrassment he hasten
ed to say:
"I have brought names into the dis
cussion largely to show what a doubt
ful field Is opened once we begin to
suspect without real cause. The only
witness of any value we liave on board
is Frascuelo, and his evidence merely
goes to prove a secret design to inter
fere with or control the trimming of
the bunker. That particular hatch
must be sealed and the specimens we
have secured put away under lock and
key. I feel assured that the remainder
of our coal is above suspicion. We
can carry the inquiry no further while
we remain here. Now, Mr. Walker,
you bav,e something of a more cheer
ing nature to communicate, I think."
The engineer grinned genially.
"I don't wish to bind myself to a
day or so. Miss Maxwell and gentle
men,", he said, "but I've had a good
look at the damage, an' I feel pwltty
shu-aw I'll get up steam In one boil-aw
within ten days or a fawtnight If 11
be a makeshift job at the best, be
cause I have so few spa-aw fittin's n
po cnance of makin' a castln', cut it
bet a ye'aw's pay the Kansas gets a
move on her undaw her own steam
soon aftaw New Ye-aw's day."
New Year's day I What a lump in
the throat the words brought! In three
days it would be Christmas, In 6even
more the new year! Though from the
beginning of the voyage they were pre
pared to pass both festivals at sea,
there was all the difference In tie
world between a steady progress to
ward home and friends and the pres
ent plight of the Kansas. Death, too.
had thrown its shadow over them.
Some there were to whom the passing
of the years would mean no more in
this world. Others, the great majority
of the ship's company, were probably
hidden by the same eternal silence.
The last 6ight they had of them was a
dim vision of boats rushing into a
chaos of angry seas and sheeted spray.
But Courtenay would have none of
these mournful memories. "Isn't that
glorious news?' he cried. "Now, Chris.
tobal, that motor trip in June through
the Pyrenees looks feasible once more.
And you, Miss Maxwell, though you
have never quailed for an instant, can
hope to. be in England In the spring.
As for you, Tollemache, surely you
will say that our prospects are 'fair at
the least."
"I would say more than that if It
were not for these poisonous Indians,"
replied Tollemache. "Here they come
now, a whole canoe load of 'em. I
have never seen such rotters."
And, Indeed, Francisco Suarez, detail
ed to keep watch and ward over the
ship until noon, ran up the companion
and cried excitedly:
"Four headmen have Just pulled off
from Otter creek. They have missed
me, I expect They will want me to
go back. I beseech you, senor captain,
not to give me up to them, but rather
to send a bullet through tny miserable
heart"
"Tell him to calm himself." said
Courtenay coolly when Chrlstobal had
translated this flow of guttural Span
ish. "He has no cause to fear them
now. Let him nerve himself and show
a bold front A palaver is the best
thing that can happen. We must dis
play all the arms we possess. Bid any
of your Invalids who can stand upright
show themselves, Chrlstobal. We must
lift you outside, Boyle. Bring your
camera, Miss Maxwell. If we could
give these fellows a good picture of
themselves it would scare them to
death."
Courtenay infected them all with his
splendid optimism. It was with curi
osity rather than dread vthat they
watched the rapid approach of the ca
noe and Its almost naked occupants.
terous twist of the blades when within
a cable's length of the ship and then
circled slowly round her. The four
men Jabbered In astonishingly loud
voices. Suarez, who gathered the pur
port of their talk, explained that they
were discussing the best method of at
tack. "The three younger men belong to
the tribe I lived with." he said. "The
old man sitting between the women is
p I a stranger. I think he must have come
rrom the north of the island with some
of his friends, attracted by the smoke
signals."
"From the north? Is there a road?"
asked Courtenay when he learned what
Suarez was saying.
"He would arrive In a canoe," was
the answer. "The Indians venture out
to sea In very bad weather. He prob
ably passed the ship late last night,
and, now I come to think of it, the ca
noe which you captured is not familiar
to me, whereas I know by sight every
craft owned by the Feathered People.
"How many do they possess?"
"Twenty-three."
These statements were disconcerting.
Not only was it possible for the na
tives to surround the Kansas with a
whole swarm of ' men, but the mere
number of their boats would render it
exceedingly difficult to repel a com
bined assault And nothing could be
more truculent than the demeanor of
the semlnude warriors. They pointed
at each person they saw on the decks
and made a tremendous row when
they passed the canoe fastened along
side. Despite their keen sight they
evidently did not recognize Suarez.
who now wore a cap and a suit of
clothes taken from the locker of one of
the missing stewards.
The impudence of the Indians exas
perated Courtenay. The sheer size of
the Kansas should have awed them,
he thought
At that moment the rowers permit
ted the canoe to swing round with the
tide. One of the men stood up, and
Elsie, who seized the chance of snap
shotting the party, ran to the upper
deck, so she did not overhear Courte.
nay's smothered ejaculation. He was
scrutinizing the savages through his
glasses, and he had distinctly seen the
ship's name painted on a small wa
ter cask on which the Indian had been
sitting. Tollemache made the same
dramatic discovery.
"Out of one of the ship's lifeboats, I
suppose?" he said in a low tone to the
captain.
"Yes. Did you see the number?"
"No. 3, I think."
"I agree with you. That was the
first lifeboat which got away."
Chrlstobal, startled out of his wont
ed sang frold, whispered in his turn:
"Do you mean to say that one of the
boats has fallen into the hands of
these fiends?"
"I am afraid so," replied Courtenay.
"Of course that particular keg may
have drifted ashore. In any case, it
tells the fate of one section of the
mutineers. Either the boat is swamp
ed or the crew is now on the Island,
and we know what that signifies."
"Is there no chance of bribing these
people Into friendliness or at least into
a temporary truce?"
"It is hard to decide. Tollemache
and Suarez are best able to form an
opinion. What do you say, Tolle
mache?" "Not a bit of use. They are Insatia
ble. The more you give the more they
want The only way to deal with
those rotters Is to stir them up with a
Gatllng or a twelve pounder."
Suarez wjien appealed to shook hi3
head.
"You might as well try to fondle a
hungry puma. I am the only man they
have ever spared, and they spared me
solely because they thought I gave
them power over their enemies. If
you had a cannon you might drive
them off. As it is, we shall be com
pelled to fight for our lives. They ar
brave enough in their own way."
The experience of the miner from
Argentina was not to be gainsaid.
Courtenay glanced up at Elsie. If
aught were needed to complete the
contrast between civilization and sav
agery It was given by the comparison
which the girl offered to the women in
the canoe. The hot sun and the ab
sence of wind had changed the tem
perature from winter to summer. Aft
er breakfast Elsie had donned a mus
lin dress and a broad brimmed straw
hat. Exposure to the weather had
bronzed her skin to a delightful tint.
Her nut brown hair framed a sweetly
pretty face, and her clear blue eyes

aspect to her appearance, an aspect
which was unutterably disquieting in
its relation to the muttered, forebod

hope they are a bit scared, of us. Wo

hail them, as he can speak their lan
guage. Perhaps he does not wish them
to know he Is on board?"
Now, Elsie had heard the man's Im
passioned appeal when the Indians
were first sighted, so Courtenay felt
that she, too, was acting.
A new direction was given to Elsie's
thoughts by the somewhat scowling
aspect of Christobal's face. He was
looking at Courtenay In a manner
which betokened certain displeasure.
The Spaniard's cultivated cynicism
was subjugated by a more powerful
sentiment It seemed to Elsie that he
envied Courtenay his youth and high
spirits.
Elsie dared not meet Courtenay's
eyes. A flood of understanding had
suddenly poured Its miraculous waters
over her. Incidents unimportant In
themselves, utterances which seemed
to have no veiled intent at the time,
rushed in upon her with overwhelming
conviction. The middle aged physician
suspected her of flirting with Courte
nay and disapproved of it as strongly
as she herself had condemned Isobel's
admitted efforts in the same direction.
The proceedings of the Indiana put a
stop to any further conversation. The
canoe had drifted closer to the ship.
It was about eighty yards distant when
the Indian who was on his feet sud
denly whirled a sling and sent a stone
crashing through the window of the
music room. The heavy missile, which
when picked up was found to weigh
nearly half a pound, just missed Tollemache.

Impossible range bnt the undeniable
fact remained that the Indians meant
to be aggressive. For a little time no
one spoke. They heard the echoes of
the gunshot , faintly thrown back by
the nearest wall of rock. The regular
plash of the paddles as the canoe sped
shoreward was distinctly audible. They
watched the tiny craft until it vanish

cealed Otter creek.
