IK tbo prime of his belligerent ca reer the I'et of Frisco und under gone many Ucrco contests and withstood soido terrible punish ments, but never bad he undertaken a task calling for greater courage aud power of endurance thau the ouu he had this night voluntarily assumed. Overwhelmed again and agalu by tbo waves, each time he emerged with the child tight against his breast. Half strangled, he continued to tight ou. 'But at length even his dogged ob stinacy aud determination began to flag? lie felt his strength going, when, raising his eyes, ho saw one of tbo small craft from tbo lost vessel bear ing directly down upon blrn. The sight inspired new energy and effort. Nearer, uearer, she drew; now sho was but a few yards uway. Then suddenly the 'sheet of tho lifeboat went out, and the little sail fluttered like a mad thing, while tho men bent -with might and main over their ash handles In tho endeavor to obey tho commands of the chief mate in the stern. But despite skill aud strength she was not easy to steer. Once sho nearly capsized: then eager hands reached over the side. The convict held up the, child. A voice, tho police agent's, called out that they bad her, and then the tnato broke in with .harsh, warning yells. I "Pull port, quick, or wo'ro over!" 'And at onco tho outrcachlug arms re turned quickly 'to their tusk. As the child was drawn in ours dragged and tugged. The lifeboat came slowly about, shipping several barrels of water. At the same time some one made the loosened sheet tint, tho can ivas caught tho gusjt, and the craft gained sufficient headway to enable her to run over and not be run down by the seas. As she careened and plunged, racing down a frothing durk billow, the convict, relieved of his iburden, clung to the lower gunwale. By a desperate effort he drew him self up, when a face vaguely remem ibered as part of u bad dream looked Into his with a flash of surprise. 'Eh? GImmo a hand." , ' The asked for hand swept suddenly .under the ono grasping the side of tbo ;boat and shot up sharply. In the darkness aud confusion no ono saw the act. The convict (disappeared, but his thalf articulate curses followed. "The fellow's let go," muttered Lord Itonsdale, with a shiver, At tho steering oar tho chief mate, 'hearing the cries of the man, cast a swift glance over his shoulder and hes itated. To bring the boat, half filled ,wlth water, around now meant inevi table disaster. One experiment of tho sort bad well nigh ended in their all .being drowned, lie knew bo was per sonally responsible for tho lives In his charge, and with but an instant in which to decide be declined to repeat the risk. i "Ho's probably gone by this time, anyhow," he told himself and drove on. "lie's done me done me!" the con vict repeated to himself. "And I ain't never goln to git a chance to fix him," he thought and looked despairingly at the sky. "Ain't never! Tbo slob!" 'And 'with a flood of almost sobbing Invective ho let himself go. But as the waters closed over him and he sank bis hand, reaching blindly out to grip in Imagination the foe, touched something round, like a ser pent or an eel. Ills Angers closed about It. It proved to bo a line. lie Wow himself along, aud to his sur prise found himself again ou the sur face and near a great fragment of wreckage. This bo might have dlseov crcd earlier but for the anger and hatred that had blinded hltu to all save tho realization of his Inability to wreak vengeance. Now, though ho dnauaged to reach tho edgo of the swajlng mass from which the Hue 'dangled, he was too weak to draw himself up on ,tbo floating timber. But he did pass a loop beneath bis arms, and thus sustained he waited for bis strength to return. Finally, his mind In a daze, the convict clambered, nfter repeated efforts, upon tho wreck ace, fastened the Hue about him agalu. and. falling Info a saucer-like hollow, he sank Into unconsciousness. The night wore on. Ho did not move. Tho sea began to subside. Still he lay as If dead. Dawn's rosy lips kissed away the black shadows, touched ten derly the waves tops, and at length the man stirred. He tried to sit up. but at first could not. Finally he rais ed himself and looked about him. No other sign of the vessel than that part of It which hud served him so -well could ho see. This fragment seemed rent from tho bow. Yes, there was the yellow wooden mermaid bob bing to the waves, but not as of old. I'oor castout'trollop! Now the seas mado sport of her who once had held her head so high! HALF A CHANCE By Frederic S. Ishjtm, Author of "The Strollers," "Under the "The Lady of the Mount," Etc. 1909, BY THE DODBS-MERRILL I COMPANY' Tho convict continued to gaze out over tbo ocean. Far away a dark fringe broke tho sea lino a suggestion of foliage au island or a mirage! Tantalizing. It lay like a shadow, illu sive, unattainable as tbo "forgotten Isles." The man staggered to his feet His garments wore torn. His hair hung over his brow. Ho shook his arms at tho Island this phantasy, this vain, empty vision. Ho regarded it now as soma savage creature might a bono just out of Its reach. From his lips vllo words fell to be suddenly bushed. Between blm and what ho gazed at along the range of vision an object on ono of the projecting timbers caught his eye. It was very small, but it gleamed Hko a spark sprung from the embers of tbo dawn. "The dliky bird!" His dried lips tried to laugh. "Ef it ain't the dicky bird!" Tho bird looked at him. "Ef that doesn't beat" But ho could not think what It "beat" The bird cock ed its head. "Ain't you afeared o' mo?" It gave a feeble chirp. "Well, I'm dashed!" said tho man and after this mild expression of his feeling? forgot to curse again. Toward noon tho man began to suf fer mord acutely from thirsty and, drawing out a bailor's oilskin pouch, one of the few possessions ho bad been allowed by the police to retain, ho took from It a piece of tobacco, which ho began to chow At tho same time ho eyed tho rest of the contents half a ship's biscuit, some matches and a mariner's thimble. Tho biscuit he broko and threw a few crumbs where the timbers were dry, near the bird. For a long time It looked at the tiny white morsels, but, finally con quering shyness, hopped from its perch and tentatively approached the ban quet. Hours went by. The man chewed and tho bird pecked. That uight it rained in real, tropical earnest, and ho mado a water vessel of his shoe, drank many times, ato a few mouthfuls of biscuit and then placed the filled receptacle where he had thrown the crumbs. As ho did so bo found himself wondering if the dawn would reveal bis little feathered shipmate or whether it had been swept away by the violence of tho rain. Tho early .shafts of day showed him the bird on its perch. It had apparently found shelter from the heavy down pour beneath some outjuttlng timber and seemed no worse for the experi ence. The man's second glance was In the direction of the island. What he saw brought a sudden exclamation to his lips. The land certainly seemed much nearer. Some current was sweeping them toward it slowly but Irresistibly. The Frisco ret swore joyfully. His eyes shone. "I may do him yet!" he muttered. The bird chirp ed. He looked nt it. "Breakfast, eh?" ho said and tossed a few more crumbs near the shoe. ' Tho second day he brooded n great deal. Tho sharper pangs of hunger nssalled him. and he grew desperate ly impatient, the distance to the Island decreased so gradually. Hardly knowing what be did, he drew forth tho last little bit of the biscuit, ground it .between his teeth and greedily swallowed it The act seemed to sober him. He- raised his big hand to his brow and looked at Dearie. Through tho confusion of his thoughts he felt he -hud done some despicable thing. "That weren't fair play, were It now?" be said, looking at the bird. "That nfn't like a pal," ho repeated. Tho bird remained silent. He fancied reproach la its bcadllke eyes. They seemed to bore Into him. "Aad you. such a small chap, toft!" he muttered. Then he turned his- back on tho Island and with head resting on his elbow uttered no further complaint. That second day on the raft ssomed much longer than the first, the- sec ond night of Infinitely greater duration than the preceding one, but dawn re vealed the island very near so near Indeed, the bird made, up Its maid to. try to reach it. It looked at tho man for a moment and then flow away. Lone ho watched it. a llttlo dart spot. now that ho could no longer see the ruby on Its breast. At length it was. lost to sight, swallowed up by the green blur. The small winged creature gone, the man missed It. "Tcared like 'twns glad to leave such a pal," he thought regretfully. The floating timbers be came well nigh intolerable. He kept asking himself If he could swim to land; but, knowing his weakness from long fasting, be curbed his Impatience. Ills eyes grew tired with staring at the longed for spot. He suffered the torments of Tantalus and finally could euduro them uo longer, so, making his clothes Into a bundle, he tied them around his neck and slipped Into tho water.

Close at hand a great crab regarded him with reflectlvo interest, hesitating betweeh prudence and car nivorous desire. Gluttonous Inclina tion to sample the goods the gods had provided prevailed over caution. It moved quickly forward,, when what it had considered only an unexpected and welcome piece de resistance ab ruptly got up. Tho tables were turn ed. That which came to dine was dined upon. A crushing blow demon strated the law of tho survival of the fittest. -The weaker adorned the board. The man tore It to bits ate it like the famished animal he was. For a week nothing of moment In terrupted the even tenor of his ex istence. He led the life of a savage and found it to his liking, pounced upon turtles and cooked them, kept his firo going because he had but 'few matches. One day a box was washed ashore, a message from the civilized centers to the field of primitive man! On its cover were the words. "Via Sailing Vessel Lord Nelfcon." followed by tho address. The convict pried th boards apart and gave a shout. Rum, and plenty of it-bottle after bottle In an overcoat of .straw, nestling lov-, ingly one upon another! Tho man licked his lips, knocked off a neck, drank deep, and then, stopping many times, carried his treasure to his bow er. Day after day turned Its page, merg ed into the past; sometimes, perforce, he got up, and, not a pleasant thing to look at, staggered to the beach with his club. Tliere be would slay some crawling thing fijom the sea, return with his, prize to mingle eating with drinking until, sated with both, he' would fall back unconscious among the flowers. But tbo prolonged in dulgence begau to have a marked ef fect on his store. Bottle after bottle was tossed off, tho empty shells flung aside to the daisies. At length the day came when only two bottles re mained in the case, ono full pair, sole survivors of tho lot. The man took them out, set them up and regarded them; a sense of Impending disaster, of imminent tragedy, shivered tliruugh his dulled consciousness. He reached for tho bottles and fondled them, started to knock the head from one and put 'It down. Resisting desire, he told himself he would have a look at tho beach; the ocean had generously cast one box of well primed bottles at his feet; perhaps It would repeat its hospitable action and make him once more tho recipient of Its bounty. The thought buoyed him to' the shore; the sea lapped the sane! with Lydlan whis pers, and there, beyond the edge of tbo soft singing ripples, ho saw some thing that made Una rub his dazed eyes. A box, a big box, a box as tall as ho was! No paltry dozen or two this time! Perhaps there was whisky, too. and the bubbling stuff the long necked lords had sometimes pressed upon him in tho past when he had "ousted" his man and put quids In their pockets or somo of that fiery Ha something ho had once indulged ire with n Johnny Frenchman before he took to tho tun nel, when he had been free to swagger through old Leicester square. Any how, he would soon find out. and, rushing through the- water, be laid a proprietary hand on the box. A long tine ho battered aud batter ed in vain with bls-rocks; but, after an hour or so. he succeeded in splintering hl3 way through the tough pipe. In his befuddled, half crazed condition he had thought only of bottles, What lw found proved a different sort of mer chandise. Maddened, ho tossed and scattered the content.1; of the box on the beach. The ocean bad deceived him, laughed at him. cheated him. He turned from tbo shore unsteadily, walked back to his camp and knocked the neck from ono of the two p;malulug bottles. A few hours' later, sodden, sottish, he lay without motion, face to the sky. And as he breathed thickly, one bleed ing hand stilt holding the empty bot tle, a bird from an overhanging branch looked down upon him a tiny bird, lit tle bigger than his thumb, that carried a bright, beautiful spot of red" on its breast, cocked Its bead questlonlngly.

When Former Congressman Walter 0. Hoffecker of Delaware, rose tonight far back in the great crowd that filled con vention hall where tonight's session of the World's Sunday school convention, and, all by himself, sang "Traveling Home, Led by Jesus, I Am Traveling," the audience applauded .so long and lustily that Mr. Hoffecker was com pelled to go to the front, niount tho platform and sing it again. It was during a song service, led bv Charles M. Alexander, the singine evangelist, who has sung the gospel story to immense auuiences in au pans of the world, that Mr. Hoffecker, when a volunteer was called for, stood up in a far corner of the big hall and swept the audienco off its feet with cnthusi a'sm. Officers of the association were elect ed tonight. A place of meeting for the world's convention probably will bo chosen to morrow, although it was decided that the National Sunday School association, comprised of the Sunday schools ot hu United States and England, will meet in San Francisco in 1911.

"While you aro fighting for some- theo logical dogma, our boys and girls aro going to heN," declared Mayor Seidel, iu an address before tho Milwaukee Ministerial association. During the discussion Mayor Seidol had remarked that when a boy is of fered a baseball ticket ho will shun sa lmons. A minister declared that he would not trust his boy to attend a baseball game becauso intoxicants were gold on the grounds. "They'll manage to drink somehow," said the minister. "Then, it is up to you," replied the mayor, "to, cultivate and develop a better taste." One minister declared that there was not any need of trying to give the boys good wholesome amusements when the nickel theaters down town catered to. their baser passions. "The thing for u's to do then is to compete with tho nickel theaters," re plied the mayor. "Havo a moving pic ture machine rigat in too scnooinouso." E E Such Is.
