Clement H. Cong don, the sole
owner of the Sun which shone for
some 18 months in our city, has con
eluded that Wilmington is not the
place to make a fortune in a penny
newspaper. For the last two
months the Sun has been run as a
corporation, having received a char
ter at Dover,- and Mr. Congdon's
name as sole owner was removed
from the head of the paper.
Sunday edition of the Sun i
discontinued and Mr. George W.
Roberts will assume the editorship
of the paper, which will make its
appearance under his management
Monday next. The Sun has not
been a success, financially.
Quite a breeze has been kicked
up in Chester by the charge that
$500 was paid to several of the
Councilmen of that city, to get their
"influence" to pass a contract for
paving Edgemont Avenue with vit
rifled brick ot a specified manufac
ture. The rumor will be investiga
s ted aud the guilty ones shown up.
The contractor, William E. Reilly,
said he had not paid one dollar to
receive the work and that it was a
lie out of the whole cloth.
Said one of our police officers:
"The Philadelphia police, on the
principle streets of that village are
a fine looking body of men, but
when it comes to running, they
would not be one,two or three with
the men on our force. They are all
right for physical beauty, but not
much good for active, hustling pa
trol work. Wilmington requires
policemen that can run, for the in
numerable small gamin give them
frequent sprinting matches.

CHAPTER III
The outline of Tampique bay stood
out clearly in bright moonshine, and
the sea down the path of the moon's
rays showed a canal of silver cut
through rolling fields of purple. The
green painted bark was heading into
the bay on the port tack, and at moor
ings before the town in the curve of
the shore the grotesque spars of a mod
ern warship showed in black silhouette
against the moonbeams. A slate colored
naphtha launch was sliding out over
the swells toward the bark. Captain
Kettle came up from below and watch
ed the naphtha launch with throbbing
interest.
A Jacob's ladder was thrown over
the side. The slate colored launch swept
np and emitted—a woman. Captain
Kettle started and went down into the
waist to meet her. A minute later he
wondering whether he dreamed or
whether he was really walking his quar
ter deck in company with Donna Clo
tilde la Touche. But meanwhile the
bark held steadily along her course.
"I must beseech you, miss, to go
back from where you came," said Ket
tle. "You must trust me to carry out
this business without your supervi
sion."
"Is your method very dangerous?"
she asked.
"I couldn't recommend it to any in
surance company, " eaid Kettle thought
fully.
"Tell me your eclieme."
Kettle did so in some 40 words. He
was pithy, and Donna Clotilde was
cool. Sbe heard him without change of
color. "Ah," she said, "I think you
will do itl"
"You will know one way or another
within an hour from now, miss. But
I must ask you to take your launch to
a distance. As I tell you, I have made
all my own boats so that they won't
swim, but if your little craft was handy
would jump overboard and
risk the sharks and try to reach her in
spite of all I could do to stop them.
They won't be anxious to fight that
Cancelario when the time comes if
there's any way of wriggling out of
it."
my
VYon are quite right, captain; the
launch must go, only I do not. I must
bo your guest here till you can put
on tho Cancelario."
Captain Kettle frowned. "What's
coming is no job for a woman to be in
at, miss."
"You must leave
opinion about that. You see, we differ
upon what a woman ehould do, cap
tain. You say a woman should not be
president of a republic; you think a
woman should not ben sharer in a fight.

can be both." She leaned her shoulders
over the rail and hailed the naphtha
launch with a sharp command. A man
in the bows cast off the line with which

sftin gray ghost, the launch slid quiet
ly away into the gloom. "You see,"
she said, "I'm bound to stay with yon
Dow." And she looked upon him with
a burning glance.
But Kettle replied coldly : "You

wish. It is not for me now to say that
you are foolish. Do I understand you
still wish me to carry out my original

plan?'
"Yes," sbe said curtly.
"Very well, miss; then we shall be
aboard of that war steamer in less than
15 minutes." He bade bis second mate
call aft tho crew, but instead of re
maining to meet them lie took a keen
glance at the bark's canvas, another at
her wake, another at the moored cruiser
ahead, and then, after peering thought
fully at the clouds that sailed in the
sky, ho went to the companionwny and
dived below. Tho
stood at the break of the quarter deck
waiting for him. And in the meanwhile
they feasted their eyes on Donna Clo
tilde la Touche.
Presently Captain Kettle returned to
deck, HggreBsivo and cheerful, and faced
witli hands in his jacket pock
ets. Each pocket bulged with something
heavy, and the men, who by this time
had come to understand Captain Ket
tle's ways, began to grow quiet aud

"Now, my lads," said he, "I told

The men crept away, shaking, and
Captain Kettle himself took
wheel and appeared to drowse over it.
He gave her half a spoke at a time, and
by invisible degrees the bark fell off till
she headed dead on for the cruiser.
Save for the faint creaking of her gear
no sound came from her, and she slunk
on through the night like some patched
and tattered phantom. Far down in
her lazaretto the glowing end of the
fuse crept nearer to the powder barrels,
and in imagination every mind on
board was following its race.
Nearer and nearer ehe drew to the
Cancelario and ever nearer. The wait

them would leap from their breasts.
Two of them fainted. Then came a

Are You Growing Oldf
"When Is a man old?" is a question
that has been debated more than onco.
Dr. Ilaydn Brown, the author of "The
Secret of Good Health," refuses to
state any particular age, but fixes it
at the time when men show themselves
distinctly less capable of transacting
business than they were formerly;
when they go through a dally routine
with less alacrity, walking stliBy, talk
ing childishly, eating capriciously and
exhibiting the wearing effects of time
in countless different ways. Men
who have grown fairly old so far as

dear at the special meeting of the city
council last evening, when the attempt
to Institute an investigation of the

Mayor Farley opposed the proposed
action in a vigorous speech, In which
he declared that the appointment of
the special committee would Interfere
with the plans of the executive for the
crushing out of disorder. He said the
only result could be to keep alive the
agitation, and that no good purpose
would be served. "This seems to be a
good time," the mayor declared, "for
everybody to mind his own business."
Several of the councllmen favored
the commtttee, but when the resolution
to a vote It waa lost.
Many of the strike sympathisers
have been very bitter toward Farley.
In public meetings they have charged
him with responsibility for the pres

Some persons say they are never influenced by an
advertisement.
It is .not expected that any one will buy Ivory Soap
solely because it is suggested by an advertisement, but
if you have never used Ivory Soap, you may be induced
to ask some friend about it; should you find—as you
probably will —that she is enthusiastic in its praise,
then you may try it.
Millions of people use Ivory Soap: they use it because
they like it. You too will like it. There is a difference
in soaps.

been unearthed by the Detroit police.

suspicion. He had been trying to dis

wired the Chicago police about him.
They immediately answered that ho
was indicted in that city for forging
bonds, and had jumped his ball. Fuller,
has not since ventured to cross the
river into the United States.
