the new salvation babs
Sociologists who have givou profound1
e'udy to the reasons for the saloon's |
attraction have bean iudined to
tli/ab* it its place can be taken
very successfully hy any form o£
community center, soft ilrinK. cafe,
readiD* froom or of-her variant
of th« "poor man's club.' Men do
go to aaloona tor sociability, to be
sure, but thay so for other reasons,
one of whicl\ is to drink, amd to
drink something stronger than cot
1<& or ginger ale. .Nevertheless,
since men accustomed to staying
away from home are going to
get into th«j habit of going home
immediately, all encouragement is
du« to the various todies which
ar<» trying to remain the saloons,
in many oageg the old stands, into
}*ace» of social meeting which shall
attract former visitors
If any of the various religious*
civic or social orgaiiizatjons which
are planning this can do it success
fully, it is likely to be the Salvation
Army, whose plans were announced
in yesterday'g papers. That or
ganization has won general admira
tion by its work in various and dif
ficult fields, most recently iu its
ministrations to our soldiers.
What it does it seems to do well.
Moreover, the Salvation Arniv un
derstands the temperament of the
classse of the population which
frequent the cheaper saloons; it
knows how to approach them and
what to give them. And in a
world at present diversified by so
many manifestations of intolerance
jf (s a pleasure to hear from Com
mander Booth that, while members
af the Salvation Army do not
smoke, they have no objection to
other people's gmoking Ui the new
Salvation bars, aud apparently
feel that thos$ who are to frequent
them have some right to their own
idea of the "comfort and cheer"
wh«ch the reformed saloons are to j
promote,—New York Times.

PARRISH
CHAPTER XXI.
In Full Possession.
A roar of delight went up., I knew
sailors and felt they would welcome a
fight like this and their Immediate
sympathy would be with me for start
ing It. More than that, this black
bully, ruling over them by brute force,
could be no favorite. They might fear
him, but with that fear would be
mingled hate, and a delight la his
downfall.
In that instant, although 1 cannot
recall removing watchful eyes from
the negro's face, I received an impres
sion of my surroundings never to be
erased from memory—the gloomy in
terior, the deck, foul, littered with sea
boots, and discarded clothing, and the
great beams overhead blackened by
smoke. The rays of ..the swinging
slush lantern barely illuminated the
central space, the rows of bunks be
yond remaining mere shadows, yet this
dim, yellowish light, fell full upon the
excited half circle <^f men who were
roaring about the negro. They were
a rough, wild lot. ranging In color
from the Intense black of Central
Africa to the bloud of Scandinavia,
half naked socie, their voices miugliug
in a dozen tongues, their eyes gleam
ing with savagery. ,
I know not whether Cochose lunged
forward of his own volition, or was
pressed on from behind, yet suddenly
he was within reach of me, and the
battle was on, his object evidently be
ing to crush me in his giant grip,
miue to oppose science to strength,
and avoid his bear-hug. We swayed
back and forth to the sharp pitching
of the ship. Then he sprang straight'
at niH determined to smash rne to the
deck by the very power of his on |
slaught. Hut 1 side-stepped him. get>j
ting in two swift olows, which rocked
his head, and tore open one cheek,'
from which blood trickled. Yet he
kept his feet, blindly gripping for me.'
I evaded l:is clutch by leaping aslde.l
hut the .space was far too sn ail to per i
mit these tactics to carry long, and!
finally he htvl me. Vet, even as hel
seemingly crushed the very breath out'
of me. his giant strength met with a:
resistance which increased tiis fury.)

against brute force, fevery Wrestler's
trick I knew flashing into my Wain.
Breathlessly, my flesh scraped and
bruised, I wriggled partly free, and
tripped him, his great body striking
the deck with a thud. I fell with hlui,
dragged down by his desperate grip,
but wax first upon my feet, saluted by
a roar of delight from the lips ot those
crowding about us. As he staggered
up also, I struck him again, a blow
which woulu have ended the game,
had not my foot slipped on the reeling
deck. As it was it drove him to hh
knees, groggy, and with one eye half
closed, yet with strength enough left
to regain his feet as soon as I. This
time he charged me like a wild bull,
froth whitening his lips, scarcely ap
pearing human in the yellow light. In
mad rage he forgot all caution, his
one thought to reach me with his
hands, and throttle me Into lifeless
pulp. I fought him back, driving blow
on blow through his guard, slde-step

and again on his body. Twice I got
In over his heart, and at last, found
the chance I sought, and sent a right
Jab straight to the chin. All the force
of one hundred and eighty pounds was
behind the clenched fist, and the negro
went down as though floored by a
poleax. Once weakly he endeavored
to rise, but this time I used my left,
and he never stirred again, lying
there with no sign of life except the
qtflvering of the huge body. Assured
that he was down and out, I stood
above him, gazing Into the ring of ex
cited faces.
"That's one attended to," I said
shortly. "Now is there any more of
ymi who would like to tight this out?"
There was no answer although the
ring widened under the threat of my
eyes, and I met sullen faces here and
there. I was In no mood to take
chances.
"Carlson," 1 said, "you know all
these men. Pick out those you can
trust, and have them stand over there
to the right. Call thena out by name;
be lively now."
mey sieppeu iui iu cage;
and ranged themselves before the
bunks, the faces mostly those of north
ern Europe, although a negro or two
was among them. As the Swede
ceased calling,, sir or seven yet re
mained clustered In front of me, a
motley lot, one of them an Indian, the
others mostly half-breeds. I glanced
from face to face inquiringly.
"How about It, you?" I asked. "Are
there any more of you fellows who
take a chance with us? This Is my
last offer."
"What's the game?" asked a sullen
voice in English, and a bearded fellow,
burned black, pushed his way to the
front. "I used ter be Scotch; now I
don't know what I am. One flag Is
as good as another ter me—only I
want to know what sorter game I'm
playin' in. Who are yer? An' whar'd
yer cum frum?"
"I am an English seaman," I an
swered shortly, "and how I came
aboard makes no difference. Right
now I am the only navigator on the
Namur. Estada is dead—knifed last
night by one of the buccaneers. Man
uel Estevan had a hand in the busi
ness, and he's safely locked In a state
room aft. Captain Sanchez is wound
ed and helpless, and those cut-throats
amidships are battened down below
batches. LeVere and I are the officers
left, and we control the deck."
| 'Ter mean those fellers were alrniri'
! ter take the ship?"
"Exactly that; now where are you
lads? With Manuel and his bunch of
pirates? Or with us?"
"What er yer going ter do with us,
an' this ship? That's the fu'st ques
tion."
I had not decided that even in iny
own mind, but the auswer came
promptly enough.
"i Ala going to leave teat to the crew.
As goon as we have all secure, I'll
have every man on deck, and then
we'll talk it over. That's fair enough
isn't It?"
"It looks fair. Come on, mates; I'm
fer the Englishman."
Only one followed him, however, a
sheep-faced boy; the others remained
sullen and defiant. I had no further
time to waste in explanations. I
glanced up at Carter's face framed in
the scuttle hole.
"Carter, pass these men up and take
them forward with the others. Turn
them over to Watklns. Then come
back here, and report to me."
They went up the ladder one by
one, and disappeared onto the deck
above. Carlson and I watched the
others until Carter stuck his heud
once again through the opening.
"All safe, sir—they was like lambs."
"Very well; stand by to help. Now
you lads, lift this black and shove him
up to where they can get hold above."
They hoisted the unconscious form
up the ladder and forced it through
the hole onto the deck. At my stern
command they crawled forth into the
sunlight. There they picked up Co
chose and carried him aft.
I went to the main hatch, and had
the cover slipped to one side, the
armed sailors gathering close about
the edge, as I peered down. It was a
scene of pandemonium, revealed in the
yellow flame of slush laDterns, u group
of white faces showing clearly, as th<;
prisoners below struggled forward,
gesticulating and shouting. Ignoring
their mad roaring, and the threat of
leveled guns, I stared down at the in
furiated faces, until the clamor ceaseil
sufficiently to let my voice be heard.
"What are you men trying to do,
frighten me? You might as well stop
that. This opening is lined with guns,
and If one of you fire a shot we'll pour
lead into you. More than that; if you
attempt to climb out there is a brass
carronade trained on the hatch. So
listen! We are in control of the ship
and mean to keep it. The old officers
are either dead or prisoners. What we
j do with you will depend on your ac
tions, but we're ready to kill if neces
' sary. If you keep quiet down there,
j and obey orders, you'll be fed, and
| treated decently enough. Pass up your
I arras."
There was no movement, only a
j glare of hostile eyes, an indistinguish
| able growl of voices.
"Kneel down, lads and cover those
; fellows," I ordered sternly drawing ray
I own pistol. "Now you below there,
\ this is my last word. I'll count ten,
[ and you'll either pass up those weapons
or we'll pour our fire into you. Take
aim, boys."
* There was a moment of deathly si
lence, except for my counting. One
man uttered a curse, and the jam of
figures at the foot of the ladder en
deavored to work back out of range,
yet, before I had spokpn the word
eight, guns were held aloft, and poked
up within reach, and at this sign of
surrender even the most desperate lost
heart and joined the more cowardly.
It was a strange collection of weapons
stacked on the deck—guns, cutlasses,
knives and pistols of every descrip
tion. Probably all had not been deliv
er? i, yet I felt no further fear of the
few pieces remaining hidden.
"That's all, is it? Very well—now
take care of this big nigger we're send
ing down; no, be Is not dead, only
stunned. Now stand aside while a few
of your friends Join you; they'll tell
you what's up. Make room there."
We passed the forecastle scum down
one by one. Ignoring the indignant
roar of voices which greeted my or
der, I watched the men shift the heavy
hatch cover into place, and thru per.
mltted my eyes to survey the deck, 9.9
I hastily considered our next action.
