hatred. I knew it all now, the dimly
remembered storjf coming vividly back
to memory. Here then was the ending
of the one black stain op the family
honor of our racg. On this strange
coast, three thousand miles from its
beginning, the final curtain was being
rung down, the drama finished.. The
story had come to me in whispers from
others, never even spoken about by
those of our race—a wild, headstrong
girl, a secret marriage, a duel In the
park, her brother desperately wounded,
and then the disappearance of the
pair* Ten days later it was known
that Sir John Collinswood had de
faulted in a large sum—but from that
hour England knew him no more. As
though the sea had swallowed them
both, man and woman disappeared,
leaving no trace behind.
The face I gazed dumbly Into was
drawn and white with pain, yet the
thin lips grinned back at me In Ravage
derision.

Haines was evidently reluctant, but
sailor enough to follow as I lowered
myself to the deck, clinging 'hard to
keep my footing on the wet incline. A
light spar had lodged here, and by
making this a species of bridge, we
crept as far as the companion, the door
of w’hich was open, and gained a view
of the scene below. It was il dismal
hole in the dim light, hut presented no
obstacle to our entrance, and I led the
way down the stairs* gripping the rail
to keep from Tailing.
The door of the captain’s room gave,
but it required our combined efforts to
press it open against the volume of
water, slushing about within. For a
moment my eyes could scarcely recog
nize the various objects as I clung to
the frame of the door and stared blind
ly about in tbe gloom. Then slowly
they assumed shape and substance.
Rcrewed to the deck, the furniture re
tained Its place, but everything else
was Jammed In a mass of wreckage, or

opinion, in which he holds that tfye
city council of Columbia has no au
thority to amend the franchise of the
Columbia Railway, Gas & Electric
Company so as to regulate street oar
fares. *
Recently tho company increased its
fares from five cents to seven centa.
When the matter was referred to the
city council the council found that
there was no provision In the fran
chise w’hich empowered the council to
interfere w'ith rate making. Aq ordi
nance was immediately introduced to
£rant the council this authority, which
ordinance is now pending. Before tak
ing final, action, the attorney general’s
office was asked for an opinion.
The streets of Columbia are the
property of the state and the original

state legislature. The original fran

It was but a whisper.

‘‘There was no woman,” 1 *said

“What mean you by saying that?

There was a sudden cry forward,
and a voice shouted:
“There she g«»es. buckles! That’s

I turned swiftly, my hand grasping
her fingers as they clung to the rail.
The battered hulk slid downward, the
deck breaking amidships as the stern
splashed into the depths; then that
also toppled over, leaving nothing
above water except the blunt end of a
broken bowsprit, and a tangle of
wreckage tossed qbout on the crest
of the waves. I watched breathlessly,
unable to utter a sound;'I could only
think of that stricken man in the cabin,
those wild eyes \\,hich had threatened
me. He was gone now—gone!

her uplifted eyes questioned me.

“The law of England Is that a certain

Kidney disease is usually indicated by
weariness, sleeplessness, nervousness,
despondency, backache, stomach trou
ble, (pain in loins and lower abdomen,
gall atones, gravel, ^beumatiam, sciatica
and lumbagq.
AH these derangements are nature's
signals that the kidneys need hilp.
You should uae GOLD MEDAL Haar
lem Oil Capsules immediately. The
soothing, healing oil stimulates the
kidneys, relieves inflammation and de
stroys the germs which have caused it.
Go to your druggist today and get s
box of GOLD MEDAL Haarlem Oil
Capsules. In twenty-four hours yow
should feel health and vigor returning:
After you feel somewhat improved
continue to take one or two capsulep
each day, so as to keep the first-daap
condition and ward os the danger of
other attacks. , *
