Synopsis. -- Captain Fhlneaa P. Scraggs hu grown up around the docks of San Francisco, and from mess boy on a river steamer, rlsw-n to th« ownership of the steamer Maggie. Since each annual Inspection promised to be the last of the old weatherbeaten vessel, Scraggs naturally has some difficulty in aecurlng a crew. When the story opens, Adelbert P. Gibney, likable, but erratic, a map whom nobody but Scraggs would hire. Is the skipper, Neils Halvorsen, a solemn Swede, constitutes the forecastle hands, and Bart McGuffey, a wastre! of the Gibney type, reigns In the engine room. With this motley crew and his ancient vessel. Captain Scraggs is engaged in freighting, garden truck from Half moon bay to San Francisco. The inevitable happens, the Maggie goes ashore in a fog. A passing vessel hailing the wreck, Mr. Gibney gets word to a towing company in San Francisco that the •hip ashore Is the Yankee Prince, with promise of a rich salvage. Two tugs succeed In pulling the Maggie Into deep water, and she slips her tow lines and gets away In the fog. Furious at the deception practiced on them. Captains Hicks and Flaherty, commanding the two tugboats, ascertain the identity of the "Yankee Prince" and, fearing ridicule should the facta become known along the water front, determine on personaJ vengeance. Their hostile visit to the Maggie results in Captain Scraggs promising to get a new boiler and make needed repairs to the steamer. Scraggs refuses to fulfill his promises and Gibney and McGuffey "strike." With marvelous lu6k, Scraggs ships a fresh crew. At the end of a few days ofi wild conviviality Gibney and McGuffey are stranded and seek thetr old positions on the Maggie. Thoy are hostilely received, but remain. On their -way to San Francisco they sight a derelict and Gibney and McGuffey swim to it. The derelict proves to be the Chesapeake, richly laden, its entire crew stricken with scurvy. Scraggs attempts to tow her In, but the Maggie Is unequal to the task and Gib- Bey and McGuffey, alone, sail the ehip to San Francisco, their salmoney amounting to $1,000 His crew having deserted him. Captain Scraggs Induces them to return. At an "old horse" sale the three purchase two mysterious boxes which they believe to contain smuggled "Oriental goods." Si CHAPTER VII--Continued, k!>" is ifo f^BT to hour Mr. Gibney sat on the item bltts and ruminated over a few advantageous plans that had occurred to him for the investment of his share •f the deal should Scraggs and McGuffey succeed In landing what Mr. Gibney termed "the loot." About eleven •'clock ait express wagon drove in on the dock, and the mate's dreams were pleasantly Interrupted by a gleeful .Shout from Captain Scraggs, on the lookout forward with the driver. McGuffey sat on top of the two cases with his legs dangling over the end ef the wagon. He was the picture of Contentment. Mr. Gibneyy hurried forward, threw out the gangplank, and assisted Mc- Onffiey In carrying both crates aboard the Maggie and into her little cabin. Captain Scraggs thereupon dismissed the expressman, and all three partners gathered around the dining room .table, upon which the boxes rested. "Well, Scraggsy, old pal, old scout, •id socks, I see you've delivered the Swds,** said Mr. Gibney, batting the •kipper across the cabin with an affectlonate slap on the shoulder. "I did," said 8craggs--and cursed Mr. Glbney*s demonstratlveness. "Here's the bill o' sale all regular. McGuffey has the change. That bunch tf Israelites run th' price up to $10.00 «ach on these two crates o* ginseng, t>ut when they see we're determined to ftsWc 'em an' ain't interested in inothin' else, they lets 'em go to us. McGuffey, my dear boy, whatever are you a-doin' there--standin' around with your teeth in your mouth? Skip down into th' engine room and bring tip a hammer an* a col' chisel. We'll open her up an' inspect th' swag." Upon McGuffey's return, Mr. Gibney took charge. He'drove the chisel under the lid of the nearest crate, and prepared to pry It loose. Suddenly Jie paused. A thought had occurred to him. "Gentlemen,*' he said (McGuffey nodded his head approvingly), "this world is full ©' sorrers an' disappointments, an' it may well be that these two cases don't Contain even so much as a smell o' ginseng after all. It may be that .they are really Oriental goods. What I want distinctly understood is this: no matter what's inside, we share equally In the profits, even if they turn out to be losses. That's understood an' agreed to, ain't it?" Captain Scraggs and McGuffey Indicated that It was. "There's a element o' mystery about these two boxes," continued Mr. Glbnry, "that fascinates me. They sets my Imagination a-workin' an' Joggles up all my sportln' instincts. Now, I Juat to make it Interestin' an' add a spice t' th' grand openin', Fm willin' to bet again my own best Judgment an' lay yon even money, Scraggsy, v that it ain't ginseng, but Oriental goods." * "FUt go you five dollars, Just f r ||||; ducks," responded Captain Scraggs ^ heartily. "McGuffey to hold the stakes |p; an' decide the In t." Ifftk "Done," replied Mr. Gibney. The money was placed in McGuffey's hands, and a moment later, with a mighty effort, Mr.' Gibney frrjed off fh« lid of the crate. Captain Scraggs * ' '£{tp'h mX had his head inside the box a fifth of a second later. "Sealed sine box inside," he announced. "Get a can opener, Gib, my boy." "Ginseng,1 for a thousand," mourned Mr. Gibney. "Scraggsy, you're five dollars of my money to the good. Ginseng always conies packed in air-tight boxes." Hp produced a. can opener from the cabin locker and fell to his work on a corner of the hermetically sealed box. As he drove In the point of the can opener, he paused, hammer In hand, and gased solemnly at Scraggs and McGuffey. "Gentlemen," (again McGuffey nodded approvingly) "do you know what a vacuum Is?" "I know," replied the Imperturbable McGuffey. "A vacuum is an empty bole that ain't got nothln' In it." "Correct," said Mr. Gibney. "My head is a vacuum. Me tnlkln' about ginseng root! Why, I must have water on the brain 1 Ginseng be doggoned! It's opium!" Captain Scraggs was forced to grab the seat of his chair In order to keep himself from jumping up and clasping Mr. Gibney around the neck. "Forty, dollars a pound," he gasped. "Gib--Gib, my dear boy--you've made us wealthy--" Quickly Mr. Gibney ran the can opener around the edges of one corner of the zinc box. Inserted the claws of the hammer Into the opening,, and with a quick, melodramatic twist, bent back the angle thus formed. Mr. Gibney was the- first to gM n peep toslde. "Great snakes!" he yelled, and fell back against the cabin wall. A hoarse scream of rage and horror broke from Captain Scraggs. In his eagerness he had driven his head so deep Into the box that he came within an Inch of kissing what the box contained--which happened to be nothing more nor less than a dead Chinaman! Mr. McGuffey, always slow and unimaginative, shouldered the skipper aside, and calmly surveyed the ghastly apparition. "Twig the yellow beggar, will you, Gib?" said McGuffey; "one eye half open for all the world like he was winkin' at us an' enjoyin' th' Joke." Not a muscle twitched in McGuffey's Hibernian countenance. He scratched his head for a moment, as a sort ->f flrst aid to memory, then turned and handed Mr. Gibney ten dollars. "Yon win, Gib. It's Oriental goods, sure enough.". ' "Robber!" shrieked Captain Scraggs, and flew at Mr. Gibney's throat. The sight reminded McGuffey of a terrier worrying a mastiff. Nevertheless, Mr. Gibney was still so unnerved at the discovery of the horrible contents of the box that, despite his gigantic proportions. he was well-nigh helpless. "McGuffey, you swab," he yelled. "Pluck this maritime outlaw off my neck. He's tearin' my windpipe out by th' roots." McGuffey choked Captain Scraggs until he reluctantly let go Mr. Gibney, whereupon ail three fled from the cab- In as from a pestilence, and gathered, an angry and disappointed group, out on deck. "Opium 1" Jeered Captain Scraggs, with tears of rage In his voice. "Ginseng! You and your imagination, you swine, you! Get off my ship, you lout, or I'll murder you." Mr. Gibney hung his head. "Scraggsy--an' you, too, McGuffey-- I got to admit that this bere Is one on Adelbert P. Gibney. I--I--" "Oh, hear him." shrilled Captain Scraggy. "One on hlml It's two on you, you bloody-handed ragpicker. I suppose that other case contains opium, too! If there ain't another dead corpse in No. 2 case I hope my teeth may drop overboard." "Shut up!" bellowed Mr. Gibney, in a towering rage. "What howl have you got comin'? They're my Chinamen. ain't they? I paid for 'em like a man, didn't I? All right, then. I'll keep them two Chinamen. You two ain't out a cent yet, an' as for this five I wins off you, Scraggs. It's blood money; that's what it is, air I hereby gives It back to you. Now, quit yer whluln', or by the tall o' the Great Sacred Bull, I'll lock you up all night in th' cabin along o' them two defunct Celestials." Captnin Scraggs "shut op" promptly, and contented himself with glowering at Mr. Gibney. The mate eat down on the hatch coaming, lit his pipe, and gave himself up to meditation for fully five minutes, at the end of which time McGuffey was aware that his Imagination was about *o come to the front once more. "Well, gentlemen," (again McGuffey nodded approvingly) "I bet I get ray twenty bucks back outer them two Chinks," he announced presently. "How'll yer do It?" inquired McGuf- | fey i olitely. I "How'll I do it* Easy as fbllin' through an open fcatoh. I'm a-goln' t' Keep them two stiffs In th* boxes until Oark, an' then I'm a-goln' to„ take 'om 6ut, hend a rope around" their middle, drop 'ein overboard an' anchor 'em there all night. I see th' lad we I opens up in No. 1 ease has. had a beaushipmates. Me an' Scraggs each owns one-third o' them diseased Chinks, an' we each stands one-third o' th' loss, if any." "But there won't "be no loss*" protested Mr. Gibney. "Drayage charges, Gib, drayage charges. „ We give a man a dollar to tow 'em down t' th' ship." •Forget it,". answered Mr. Gibney magnanimously, "an' let's go over an* get a drink. I'm all shook up." CHAPTER . - • Hftif either Mr Gibriey Or Mrtftiffey been watching Captain Scraggs after he had left them they would have been much puzzled to account for that worthy's actions. First he dodged around the block into Drmnm street, and then ran down Drumm to California, where he climbed aboard a cable car and rode up into Chinatown. Arriving at Dupont street he alighted and walked up that interesting thoroughfare until he came to No. 714. He glanced at a sign over the door and was aware that he stood before the entrance to the offices of the Chinese Six Companies, so he climbed upstairs and inquired for Gin Seng, who presently made his appearance. Gin Seng, a very nice, fat Chinaman, arrayed In a flowing silk gown, begged, In pidgin English, to know In what manner he coulil be of service. "Me heap big captain, allee same ship," began Captain Scraggs. "On board ship two China boys have got." (Here Captain Scraggs winked knowingly.) "China boy no speak Eng; lish--" , "That being the case," interposed Gin Seng, "I presume that you and I understand each other, so let's cut out the pidgin English. Do I understand that you are engaged tr. evading the immigration laws?" Exactly," Captain Scraggs managed to gasp, as soon as he could recover from his astonishment. "They showed me your name an' address, an* they won't leave th' ship, where I got 'em locked up In my cabin, until you come an' take 'em away. Couple o' relatives of yours, I should Imagine." Gin Seng smiled his bland Chinese smile. He had frequent dealings with ship masters engaged In the dangerous, though lucrative, trade of smuggling Chinese Into the United States, and while he had not received advice of this particular shipment, he decided to go with Captain Scraggs to Jackson street bulkhead and see It he could ndt be of some use to his countrymen. As Captain Scraggs and his Chinese companion approached the wharf the skipper glanced Varily about. He had small fear that either Gibney or McGuffey would show up for an hoar, for he knew that Mr. Gibney had money In his possession. However, he decided to take no chances, and scouted the vicinity thoroughly befor® venturing aboard the Maggie. These actions served but to Increase the respect of Gin Seng for the master of the Maggie and confirmed him in his belief that the Maggie was a smuggler. Captain Scraggs took his visitor inside the little cabin, carefully locked and tolted the door, lifted the sine flap back from the top of the crate of "Oriental goods" and displayed the face of the dead Chinaman. Also he pointed to the Chinese characters on the wooden lid of the crate. "What does these hen scratches mean?" demanded Scraggs. "This man Is named Ah Ghow and hp belongs to the Hop Sing tong." "How about his pal here?" "That man is evidently Ng Chong Yip. He is also a Hop Sing man." Captain Scraggs wrote It down. "All right," he said cheerily; "much obliged. Now, what I want to know Is what the Hop Sing tong means by shipping the departed brethren by freight? They go to work an' fix 'em up nice so's they'll keep, packs 'em away In a zinc coffin. Inside a nice plain wood box, labels 'em 'Oriental goods,' an' consigns 'em to the Gin Seng company, 714 Dupont street, San Francisco. Now, why are these two countrymen o' yours shipped by freight --where, by the way, they goes astray, for some reason that I don't know nothln' about, an' I buys 'em up at a old horse sale?" Gin Seng shrugged his shoulders and replied that he didn't understand. "You lie," snarled Captain Scraggs "You savey all right, you fat old idol, you! It's because if the railroad company knew these two boxes contained dead corpses they'd a-soaked the relatives, which is you, one full fare each from wherever these two dead ones comes from. Just the same as though they was alive an' well. But you has 'em shipped by freight, an' aims to spend a dollar an' thirty cents each on 'em, by markln' 'em 'Oriental goods.' Helluva way to treat a relation. Now, looky here, you bloody heathen. It'll cost you Just Ave hundred dollars to recover these two stiffs, an' dos6 my mouth. If you don't come through I'll unike a belch t* th' newspapers an' they".! keel haul all' gkuliurug th' Chinese Six Companies an' the Hop Sing tong through the courts for evadin' th' laws o' th' interstate commerce commission, an' mnke 'em look like monkeys generally. An' th&i th' police'li get wind of It. Savey, pollcee-man, you fat old murderer? Th' price I'm askln' is cheap, Charley, If there's a dead whale floatln' around the ship I can smell It" "What do you make out o' that fat Chinaman crulsin' down the bulkhead in an express wagon an* another Chinaman settin' up on the bridge with him?" McGuffey demanded. "Seems to me they're comin', bows on, for the Maggie." "They tell me to deduct somethin', Bart. Walt a minute till we see if they're comin' aboard. If they are--'.' "They're goln' to make a landin', Gib." • "--then I deduct that" this bodysnatchin' Scraggs--" ' "They're boardin' us, Gib." "--has arranged with yon fat Chinaman to relieve us o' the unwelcome presence of his defunct friends. He's gone an' hunted up the relatives an' made 'em come across--that's what he's done. The dirty, low, schemin' granddaddy of all the foxes In Christendom ! I'll fish around an' see what flgger Scraggs charged him," and Mr. Gibney stepped to the rail to meet Gin Seng, for It was Indeed he. "Sow-see, sow-see, hun-gay," Mr. Gibney saluted the Chinaman In & facetious attempt to talk the latter's language. "Hello, there, John Chinaman. How's your liver? Captain he alle same get tired; he no waltee. Wha's mallah, John. Too long time you no come. You heap lazy all time." Gin Seng smiled his bland. Inscrutable Chinese smile. "You ketchum two China boy in box?" he queried. "We have," boomed McGuffey; "an' beautiful specimens they be." "No money, no V?hlna added firmly. Money have got. Too muchee money you wantee. No can do. Me pay two hundred dollah. Five hundred dollah heap muchee. No have got." Nothln' doln', John. Five hundred dollars an' not a penny less. Pat ap the dough or beat It." r Gin Seng expostulated, lied, evaded, and all but wept, but Mr. Gibney was obdurate and eventually the Chinaman paid over the money and departed with the remains of his countrymen. boy," Gibney m In' to spend • deal an' blow yon to jt small bottle o' How about it, "I'm oh." Scragge sought to throw off his gloom »andappear sprightly. "What'd you peddle then two cadavers for, Gib?" Mr. Gibney grinned broadly, but did not answer. In effect, his grin Informed Scraggs'that that was none of the latter's business--and Scraggs afsimilated the hint. "Well, at any rate^ Gib, whatever you soaked him, It was a migbtr good sale aa' I congratulate you. I think mebbe I might ha' done a little better myself, but then It ain't every day a feller can turn an elghteen-dollar trick on a corpse." "Comin' to lunch with as?" McGalfey demanded.' "Sure. Wait a minute till I ran forward an' see If the 1Dries Is all fast." He stepped out of the cabin and presently Gibney and McGuffey were conscious of a rapid succession ot thuds on the dteck. Gibney winked at McGuffey. "Nother new hat gone to h--J," murmured McGuffey. "The job that confronts us U to get these munitions dom to our friends in Mexico.'" (TO BE CONTINUED.) WIND HYPNOTIZED BY SIGNS One Reason Why City Man Fails to Familiarize jlimself With the •?} fewn'a Landmarks. - *t)o yoa know why it is so hated te keep landmarks In your head in the city these days?" asked the oldtimer. "It is something that has bothered me a great deal. I can remember that up to ten or twenty years ago I never had any trouble remembering that on such and such a corner was a threestory building with a wabbly tin cornice. On another corner waa a yellow warehouse, etc. "But a fellow doesn't remember these things any more unless he makes It a duty. I mean that the mind Is no longer Impressed photographically with the appearance of buildings--or vacant lots. "The reason Is the advertising signs that assault the eye wherever OM looks. The letters of the alphabet are so familiar to the eye that when we see a sign the eye at once begins tracing the letters. This doesn't mean that we read all these signs. Our eye Is just unconsciously attracted to the familiar type--and this type is about all It sees on a building or a vacant lot. "I don't refer only to sign boards. The merchants nowadays, particularly the smaller merchants, fill their win* dows with signs of all description*. The names of the stores are lettered all across buildings. The result is we remember neither building nor sign." Peeularlties of Human Body. A curious Instance of the care aftd minuteness with which the human body is now studied, in the effort better to understand its powers and functions, is noted In a paper read at a meeting of the Royal Coclety in London on "The Rapidity of the Nervous Impulse in Tall and Short Individuals." Even the difference in time required for a "nerve telegram" to traverse the bodies of different persons is regarded as a matter of scientific importance. A series of observations lias shown that the length of the nerves does affect the velocity with which an impulse passes between the brain and the extremities, and consequently that more time Is needed if the path Is long than If it Is short. It follows that a short man should feel a step on his corns quicker than a tall man, but the difference la so slight that the offender has no better chance to escape in one case than In the other. "Well fix 8craogay." '1 knew he'd come through, Bart," Mr. Gibney^ declared. "They got to ship them stiffs to China to rest alongside their ancestors or be in Dutch with the sperrlts o* the departed forever after." "Do we haye to spilt this swag with that dirty Scraggs?" McGuffey wanted to know. "Seein' as how he tried to give us the double cross--" "We'll fix Scraggsy--all ship-shape an' legal so's he won't have no comeback." They had not long to wait. Upon his arrival at Gin Seng's place of'buslness Captain Scraggs had been Informed that Gin Seng had gone out twenty minutes before, and further Inquiry revealed that be had departed in an express wagon. Consumed with misgivings of disaster, Scraggs returned to the Maggie as fast as the cable car and his legs could carry him. In the cabin he found Mr. Gibney and McGuffey playing cribbage. They laid down their hands as Scraggs entered. Mr. Gibney began at once: "To show you what a funny world ttils Is, while me an' Bart's sett'n' on deck a-waitin' for you to come back, along brgezes a fat old Chinaman in an express wagon an' offers to hoy them two cases of-Oriental goods. He makes me an' Mac what we considers a fair offer. Lemme see, now," ne continued, and got out a stub of lead pencil with which he commenced figuring on the white oilcloth table cover. "We paid twenty dollars for them two derelicts an' a dollar towage. That's twentyone dollars, an' a third o' twenty-one is seven, an' seven dollars from twen ty-flve leaves eighteen dollars enmin* to you. Here's your eighteen dollar*.

"Thanks, Gib," he said frigidly. "Me an' Gib's goln1 ashore for lunch at the Marigold cafe," McGuffey an- Panama Hats. Most of the so-called Panama hats are made In Ecuador. The material Is called paja toqullla and comes from a palm two or three meters high. The leaves are cut Just as they are about to unfold, the veins taken out and the fiber remaining Is dipped for a few minutes In boiling water to which a little lemon Juice is added for bleaching purposes. Each leaf has approximately 30 strands about 55 centimeters in length, although the best grade reaches 80 ccntimctcrs. The hats can be woven only during the part of the day when the humidity is greatest, since the straw of the best quality 1c not dampened. A man working six hours a day completes an ordinary hat In six or seven days, but on a very fine one he spends a month and a half, It is the labor, therefore, which Makes the hats expensive.
