No Quarter * "Yes, yes. saiil Mr. Marcus indulgently, bunking a long silence. "Very interesting. Very interesting, indeed.

It couldn't ( happen?and has. And there, in a manner of speaking, we are!" Against the western horizon u long. . low-lying strip' of sand dunoB rested like a bar of purple cloud between the crimson afterglow of sunset in the sky and the ensanguined sea that mirrored it.

Through the gloaming, with the aid of glasses, figures might be seen moving about her decks; a#*! as It grew still more dark she lowered a small boat that theretofore he 1 swung in davits. A little laior a faint humming noise drifted across the ti?i . "Power tender," the owner of the oeuvwiuure interpreted. "Coining to I call, I presume. Sociable lot. What I can't make ont is why they seem to think It necessary to tow our dory I hack. Uneasy conscience, maybe? | -what ?" He lowered the binoculars and glanced inquiringly Ht his employer, who grunted his disgust, and said no more. "Don't take it so hard, old top," liar- I cub advised nvitli a change of note I from irony to sympathy. 'I hen he rose ' and dived down the oom pan ion way, presently to reappear with a megaphone and a double-barreled shotgun. "No cutting-out purtles in this outf. fit," he explained, grinning amiably. "None of that old stuff, revised to suit your infatuated female friend?once aboard the lugger and the man is mine!" Stationing himself at the seaward rail, where his figure would show in aharp silhouette against the glowing Bunset sky, he brandished the shotgun at arm's length above his head, and bellowed stertorously through the megaphone: "Keep off! Keep off! This means you! Come within gunshot and I'll blow your fool heads off!" Putting aside the megaphone, he sat * down again. "Not that I'd dare fire this blunderbuss," he confided, "wfth ~7.~ y/ Flames Licked Out All Over the Schooner. this reek of gasoline; but Just for moral effect. Phew-wi I'd give a dollar for a breath of clean air; I've inhaled so much gas In the last few hours I'm dry-cleaned down to my silly old toes!" Oalnlng no response from Alan, he observed critically: "Chatty little customer, your are," and resumed the binoculars. For thirty minutes nothing happened, other than that the sound of me nsnerman s launch was stilled. It rested moveless In the waters, two figures mysteriously busy In the cockpit, the Ssaventure's dory trailing behind it on a long painter. Gradually these details became blurred, and were blotted out by the closing shadows. The afterglow in the west grew cool and faint. The crimson waters darkened, to manve, to violet, to a translucent green, to blackness. Far up the coast two white eyes, peering over the horizon, stared steadfastly through the dark. "Chatham lights," Barcus said they were. Abruptly he dropped the glasses and Jumped up. "Hear that!" he cried. Now the humming of the motor was agpln audible and growing louder with every Instant; and Ainn, getting to his feet in turn. Infected with the excite ? ?a m is5aaHMMMMM O' Hearts!

Over the Seavcntui%, as iliis flamed and died, pale lire seemed to hover like a tremendous pall of phosphorescence, a weird and ghastly glare that suddenly descended to the decks. There followed a crackling noise, a sound as of the labored breathing of a giant; and bright li nuee, orange, crimson, violet and g*>!d licked out all over the schooner, from stem to stern, from ! deck to topmasts. It seemed several minutes that she burned In this wise?it was probably not so long?before her decks blew up and the flames swept roaring to the sky. By the time Alan and Harcus. 6v?m- 1 Tiling steadily, had gained a shoal which permitted them footing in waist-deep waters, the Soaventuro had burned to the water's edge.

It was reported here tonight that Captain Edlin of the Rembrandt j had notified officials of the Lamport and Holt Line, owners ofthe steamship, that she was set on fire by | German spies who were members of tho crow. The captain is sltld to have c.lifc'med that threats against tho sliip were made before it steamed from Baltimore Saturday. No, confirmation of those reports was available. Tonight tho Rembrandt was , steaming Packard and forward in a , circle ten miles off Capt Henry,: while the crew was busy disposing of the carcases in the sea.

N. Kirven of Darling-j ton, president of the South Carolina 1 Agricultural and Mechanical Society, the matter of uS'ng the large steel exhibition building at the state fair grounds as a cotton warehouse. No announcement as to the status of this project was forthcoming Tuesday. FROM SENATOR TILLMAN. Senator Tillman writes from his j home at Trenton as follows: "Since writing you I have it in mind, if I can br ng it about, to get the farmers around Trenton to build the r own warehouse to store their cotton. Please give me such information as you possess on the follow- j ing points: "Size and dimensions of the best i' form of warehouse you have con-1 ui.li,r?,I -- ' a.uticu ui nciecivu. "Thn minimum and maximum number of bales that can be stored under one roof. "The best insurance rates, and to ' whom one should apply to get data about Insurance on cotton thus i stored. "I propose, if I can bring it about, t to have my neighbors Join in and construct a warehouse that will be I accepted by you as state warehouse i commissioner, and also by the insur-; ance companies, so that we can se-1 cure cheap insurance rates. It j seems that this will be much cheaper and better than to all depend on ' you to get warehouses for the farm. ars. Anyway, I will be glad to have j your advice and suggestions along | this line.

Mr. Mcl.aurin has replied as fol- ^ lows: "Dear Senator: In reply to your I favor of the 7th inst., hen to say that I agree with you and intend to do all In my power to encourage farmers to erect warehouses in each community for storing tnclr own cotton.

"1 am empowered by the State to settle the terms upon which such a ' warehouse can be taken over, the only restriction being that 1 : nt not to ' incur a loss to the state front the operation of the warehouse. The state is to give a receipt carrying absolute title to the bales enumerated in same an dguaranteeing: "1. Weight and grade. "2. Tho delivery of the indentical bale named in the receipt. "When this receipt is understood in the commercial world it will have ? vtiuie not enjoyed by any other warehouse receipt, because 11 pre vett'. substitution,guarantees weigh.' and grade, and removes the cloud resting upon the title to every bale of cottton produced under tho crop mortgage and lien system. "I am devising a contract which will enable me to lease such a build- ' ing as I have described, and at an added cost of three cents per bale for each month to those storing cotton, to give them the benefit of ethes warehouse receipts.

Many ?l:'nk the farmers 'Iiimiiu Jivii anu pay their debts, but Jus can not be clone for tlie reason bat if there was general selling movement the price of cotton under present conditions would go so low Hint we would lose; the cotton and -i ill owe the debts. .Nothing will put the price of cotton up except to bold t off the market, ami it looks to me ike. if we do that, we can't borrow more money on cotton than it woul-l cell it for in the open market. If he farmer holds bis cotton and does not borrow money the lien merchant will be wiped out and with him will eo the country bank.

Furhermore there is absolutely no limt to the amount of such paper vhich any one bank, a member of ;he currency association, can dis ount. "The title of the cotton remains n the farmer, and he gets the benefit of an advance in price and is enibled to force an advance without lestroying his credit. The bank las recourse on both the lien mer. hant and the farmer, and in case of l decline in the price of cotton could ako means to protect itself by de- < nanding other security.
