BULLY OF THE
"CAVENDISH"
(Copyright, Dodd, lisad Company.)
" "Talking of prize fighters, sir," Mid
the night watchman, who had nearly
danced himself over the edge of the
wharf in illustrating one of Mr. Corbett's
most trusted blows, and was
now sitting down taking in sufficient
air for three, "they ain't wot they used
to be when I was a boy. They advertise
in the papers for months and
months about their fights, and when
It does eome off, they do It with
gloves, and they're all right agin a day
or two arter. '
"The strangest prise fighter I ever
come acrost was one wot shipped with
me on the Cavendish. He was the
most eggstrordinary fighter I've ever
seen or 'eard of, and 'e got to be
•ucb a nuisance afore 'e'd done with
as that we could 'ardly call our souls
our own. He shipped as an ordinary
seaman—a unfair thing to do, as 'o
was anything but ordinary, and 'ad
no right to be there at all.
"We'd got one terror on board afore
he come, and that was Bill Bone, one
o' the biggest and strongest men I've
ever seen down a ship's fo'c's'le, -and
that's saying a good deal. Built more
tike a bull than a man, 'e was, and
when he was in his tantrums the best
thing to do was to got out of 'is way
or else get Into your bunk and keep
quiet. Oppersltion used to send 'lm
crazy a'moBt, ah' If 'e said a red shirt
was a blue one, you 'ad to keep quiet.
It didn't do to agree with 'lm and
call It blue even, cos if you did he'd
call yon a liar and punch you for telling
lies.
"The v'y'ge I'm speaking of—we
used to trade between Australia and
London—Hill came aboard' about an
hour afore the ship sailed. The rest
of us was already aboard and down
below, some of us stowing our things
away and the rest sitting down and
telling each other lies about wot we'd
been doing. Bill came lurching down
the ladder, and Tom Baker put 'Is 'and,
to 'lm to steady 'im as he got to the,
bottom.
"'Who are you putting your 'ands
on?' ses Bill, glaring at 'lm.
" 'Only 'oldlng you up. Bill,' ses Tom,
amlitng.
Ing to.'
'"You touch that man,' he ses,
quietly, pointing to Tom, 'and I'll give
you such a dressing-down, as you've
never 'ad afore. Mark my words,
now.'
"1 wasn't going to 'it him/ ses BUI,
In a strange, mild voice.
'"You'd better not,' ses the young
'un, shaking his fist at 'im; 'you'd better
not, my lad. If there's any fighting
to be done In this fo'c's'le I'll do It.
Mind that.'
"It's no good me saying we was
staggered, becos staggered ain't no
word for it To see BUI put 'Is hands
in 'Is pockets and try and whistle, and
then sit down on a locker and scratch
'Is head, was the most amazing thing
I've ever seen. Presently 'e begins to
sing under bis breath.
" Stop that 'ummlng,' ses Joe; 'when
I want you to 'urn, I'll tell you.'
"Bill left oft 'ummlng, and then he
gives a little cough behind the back of
'Is 'and, and, arter fidgeting about a
"You Better Not."
bit with 'Is feet, went up on deck
again. ., •'-•
" "Strewth,' ses Tom, looking round
at us, '.'ave we shipped a bloomln'
prize fighter?'
"He was a ordinary seaman, mind,
talking to A. B.'s like that. Men who'd
been up aloft and doing their little bit
when 'e was going about catching cold
In 'is little petticutB. Still, if Bill
could stand It, we supposed as we'd
better.
"BUI stayed up on deck till we was
under way, and 'is spirit seemed to be
broke. He went about 'Is work like a
man wot was walking in 'is sleep, and
when breakfast come 'e 'ardly tasted It.
"Joe made a splendid breakfast, and
when he'd finished 'e went to Bill's
bunk and chucked the things out all
over the place and said 'e was going
to 'ave it for himself. And Bill sat
there and took it all quiet, and by-andby
he took 'is things up and put them
in Joe's bunk without a word.
" 'You've been in a scrap or two in
your time, I know,' Tom ses, admiring
like. 'I knew you was a bit of a one
with your fists dlreckly I see you.'
"'Oh, 'OW'B that?' asks Joe.
" 'I could see by your nose,' ses Tom.
"You never know how to take people
like that. The wordB 'ad 'ardly
left Tom's lips afore the other ups
with a basin of 'ot tea and heaves it
all over 'im.
"'Take that, you insulting rascal,'
he BOB.
"'Get up,' ses Tom, dancing with
rage. 'Get up; prize fighter or no
prize fighter, I'll mark you.*
" 'Sit down,' ses Bill, turning round.
" Tm going to 'ave a go at 'im, Bill,'
ses Tom; 'if you're afraid ot 'im, I
ain't.'
"'Sit down,' ses Bill, starting up.
' 'Ow dare you insult me like that?'
" 'Like wot?' ses Tom, staring.
" 'If I can't lick 'im you can't," ses
Bill; 'that's 'ow it is, mate.'
"'But I can try,' ses Tom.
"'AH right.' ses Bill. 'Me fust, then
if you lick me, you can 'ave a go at
'im. If you can't lick me, 'ow can you
lick 'im?'
"That was the beginning of it, and
Instead of 'aving one master we found
we'd got two, owing to the eggstrordinry
way Bill had o' looking at things.
"In about three days our life wasn't
worth living, and the fo'c's'le was
more like a Sunday school class than
anything else. In the fust place Joe
put down swearing. He wouldn't 'ave
no bad langwidge, he Bald, and he
didn't neither. If a man used a bad
word Joe would pull 'im up the fust
time, and' the second he'd order BIU
to 'it 'lm, being afraid of 'urtlng 'im
too much 'imself.
"Then Joe objected to us playing
cards for money, and we 'ad to arrange
on the quiet that brace buttons
was ha'pennies and coat buttons pennies^and
that lasted until one evening
Tom Baker got up and danced and
nearly went off 'Is 'ead with joy
through bavin' won a few dozen. That
was enough for Joe, and BUI by bj»
orders took the cards and pitched 'an
over the side.
'It waa a mystery to all of us, and
It got worse and worse as time wesjt
on. BUI didn't dare to call 'is soul 'Is
own, although Joe only hit 'lm ones
the whole time, and then not* very
hard, and he excused 'la cowardice by
telling us of a man Joe 'ad killed fan a
fight down In one o' them West Bnd
clubs. * .
"Wot with Joe's Sunday school ways
and Bill backing 'em up, We was all
pretty glad by the time we got to
Melbourne.
"Arter we'd been there two or three
days we began to feel a'most sorry for
Bill. Night arter night, when we waa
ashore, Joe would take 'lm off and
look arter 'im, and at last, partly, for
'is sake, but more to see the fun, Tom
Baker managed to think o* something
to put things straight
"'There'll be an end o' that bullying
Joe,' jes Tom, taking Bill by the
arm. 'We've arranged to give 'lm a
lesson as'H lay 'lm up for a time.' > : ,
"'Oh,' ses BUI, looking 'ard at a
boat wot was passing.
'"We've got Dodgy Pete coming to
see us to-night,' ses Tom, In a whlsper;
'there'll only be the second officer
aboard, and he'll likely be asleep.
Dodgy's one o* the best light-weights
in Australia, and If 'e don't fix up Mister
Joe, it'll be a pity.'
"At about ha'-past six Dodgy comes
aboard, and the fun begins to commence.
"He was a nasty, low-looking little
chap, was Dodgy, very fly-looking and
very conceited. I didn't like the look
of 'im at all, and unbearable as Joe.
was, it didn't seem to be quite the
sort o' thing to get a chap aboard to
'ammer a shipmate you couldn't 'ammer
yourself.
" 'An' what's that in that bunk over
there?' ses Dodgy, pointing with 'Is
cigar at Joe.
" 'Hush, be careful,' ses Tom, with
a wink; 'that's a prize fighter.'
" 'Oh,' ses Dortgy, grinning, 'I thought
it was a monkey.'
" 'Bill, who is that 'andsome, gentlemanly-looking
young feller over there
smoking a half-crown cigar?' ses Joe.
"'That's a young gent wot's come
down to 'ave a look 'round,' ses Tom,
as Dodgy takes 'is cigar out of 'is
mouth and looks 'round, puzzled, ,
" 'Take that lovely little gentleman
and kick 'im up the fo'c's'le ladder,'
ses Joe to Bill, taking up 'is jacket
agin; 'and don't make too much noise
over it, cos I've got a bit of a 'eadacbe,
else I'd do it myself.'
" 'Wot's the game?' ses Dodgy,
staring. '
" I'm obeying orders,' ses BUI. 'Last
time I was in London, Joe 'ere half
killed me one time, and 'e made me
promise to do as 'e told me for six
months: I'm very sorry, mate, but
I've got to kick you up that ladder.'
" 'You kick me up?' ses Dodgy, with
a nasty little laugh.
" 'I can try, mate, can't I?' ses BUI,
folding 'is things up very neat and putting
'em on a locker.
"The fust blow Bill missed, and the
next moment 'e got a tap on the jaw
that nearly broke It, and that was followed
up by one in the eye that sent
'im staggering up agin the side, and
when 'e was there Dodgy's fists were
rattling all round 'im.
"I believe It was that that brought
BUI round, and the next moment
Dodgy was on 'is back with a blow
that nearly knocked his 'ead off.
Charlie grabbed at Tom's watch and
began to count, and after a little bit
called out 'Time.' It was a silly thing
to do, as it would 'ave stopped the
fight then and there if it 'adn't been
for Tom's presence of mind, saying
It was two minutes slow. That gave
Dodgy a chance, and he got up again
and walked round Bill very careful,
swearing 'ard at the small size of the
fo'c's'le.
"He got in three or four at Bill afore
you could wink a'most, and when Bill
'It back *e wasn't there.
"Cahrlie called 'Time' again, and we
let 'em 'ave five minutes.
"In five minutes more, though, it,
was all over, Dodgy not being able to
see plain—except to get out o* Bill's
way—and hitting wild. He seemed to
think the whole fo'c's'le was full o'
Bills sitting on a locker and waiting to
be punched, and the end of it was a
knock-out blow from the real Bill
which left, 'im on the floor without a
soul offering to pick 'im up.
"Bill 'elped 'im up at last and shook
hands with 'Im, and they rinsed their
faces in the same bucket, and began to
praise each other up. They sat there
purring like a couple o' cats, until at
last we 'eard a Smothered voice coming
from Joo Slmmlns' bunk.
" 'la it all over?' he asks.
" 'Yes,' ses somebody.
" 'How is Bill?' ses Joe's voice again.
" 'Look for yourself,' ses Tom.
"Joe sat up In 'is bunk then and
looked ou L and he no sooner saw
Bill's face than he gave a loud cry and
fell back agin, and, as true as I'm Bitting
here, fainted clean away.. We
was struck all of a 'eap, and then Bill
picked up the bucket and threw some
water over 'im, and by and by he
comes round agin and in a dazed sort
o' way puts his arm round Bill's neck
and begins to cry.
'"Mighty Moses!' ses Dodgy Pete,
jumping up; 'it's a woman!'
"'It's my wife!' ses Bill.
"We understood it all then, leastways
the married ones among us did.
She'd shipped aboard partly to be
with Bill and partly to keep an eye
on 'lm, and Tom Baker's mistake
about a prize fighter had just suited
her book better than anything. How
BUI was to, get 'er home *e couldn't
think, but it 'appened the second officer

fo'c's'le, waiting for ever so long for
a suitable opportunity to stop the
fight, and the old man was so tickled
about the way we'd all been done *e

MRS. ASTOR IS DEAD
AMERICAN SOCIETY LEADER
PA88E3 AWAY.
LONG A SOCIAL LIGHT
New York Woman Who Waa Known
as First Among Country's Aristocrats
Taken by Death-
Heart Trouble Cause.
New York.—Mrs. William Astor,
who for 30 years bad been regarded
as the social leader of New York, died
Friday night of heart disease at her
home on Fifth avenue.
For nearly four weeks Mrs. Astor,
who was 82 years old, had been in
a critical condition owing to the return
of a heart affection that had given her
trouble for years.
There is not a name in the social
register that is so well known from
one end of the land to the other as
that of Mrs. Astor. Despite her advancing
years, Mrs. Astor continued
to hold her social domination up to a
year ago. when falling health compelled
her to retire into comparative
seclusion.
In III Health a Year.
It was in the summer of 1907 that
Mrs. Astor's friends learned of her ill
health.: While she waa abroad last
year, her son. Col. John Jacob Astor,
made the announcement that Beechwood,
the summer home of Mrs. Astor
at Newport, would not be opened and
this led to the discovery that Mrs.
Astor was in poor health. Word came
later from Mrs. Astor, while she was
in Paris, saying that she would open
her Newport villa and that she would
make the season there one of the gayest
in years.
This promise was not fulfilled, however,
for when Mrs. Astor returned
from abroad she broke down in Boston
and had to return to New York. She
had remained at her home ever since.
8ociety Functions In History.
The society functions given and presided
over by Mrs. Astor have gone
down Into history as the most brilliant
on record. It is said that the ballroom
In the mansion on Fifth avenue would
accommodate 1,000 people. It was
Mrs. Astor who established the famous
"400," her visiting list being confined
to that number of names. In 1905,
however, Mrs. Astor was said to have
"let down the bars," when she invited
1,200 persons to one of the most memorable
social events ever given in New
York. Mrs. Astor received her guests
at these gatherings seated in a highbacked
chair beneath a portrait of
herself, painted by Carolus Duran.
Spouse Not Tall Socially.
The Astor jewels were worn by Mrs.
Astor on these occasions. It Is said
the Astor emeralds are the finest In
the world.
William Astor, who died in Paris in
1892, took little part In the social activities
his wife enjoyed. Mrs. Astor,
' before marriage, was Miss Caroline
Schermerhorn, a daughter of Abraham
Sohermerhorn, a well-to-do merchant.
She was married to William Astor on
September 23, 1853. John Jacob Astor
was their only son. There were four
daughters, two of them, Mrs. Ogilvie
Haig and Mrs. Orme Wilson, are now
living. The eldest daughter, Miss
Emily Astor, who married J. J. Van
Alen, died some years ago.
Pioneer Lumber Merchant Dead.
Grand Rapids, Mich.—Delos A.
Blodgett, for 60 years closely identified
with the lumber industry of the
country, died at his home here, in bis
eighty-fourth year.
He was born in Otsego county, New
York, in 1825.' In 1847 he began work
in an Upper Michigan sawmill, finally
becoming one of the heaviest timber,
operators of the state. In 1885 he began
buying southern timber land and
was one of the first northern men to
make such investments. He and his
associates are among the largest holders
of southern pine to-day.
Montgomery Again Convicted,
Pittsburg, Pa. —- William Montgomery,
cashier of the Allegheny
National bank until the discovery of
a shortage in its funds of over $1,250,-
000 early last summer necessitated
closing the Institution, was for the
second time this week found guilty
Wednesday of embezzlement and abstraction
of funds, his peculations in
the two cases amounting to $613,000.
Costly Hallowe'en Prank.
Bel ton, Tex.—Fire Btarted by Hallowe'en
royaterers late Saturday night
totally destroyed the Belton compress
and 10,000 bales of cotton. The loss
will exceed $250,000, which is covered
by insurance. Twenty residences were
damaged by the fire and water and 17
loaded freight cars burned, which will
increase the total loss by $10,000.
Political Murder In Oklahoma.
Foraker, Okla. — In a political
quarrel here Sunday Frank S. Seward,
a prominent merchant and local
DemocraUc committeeman, shot and
killed John H. Milam, a well-known
farmer of Pawhuska, Okla. The shooting
occurred in Seward's store. Milam
was a Republican.
Defects In New Battleships.
Washington.—In view of the,order
of the secretary of the navy revoking
the prohibition he recently placed
against officers who attended the Newport
conference from discussing its
action, an officer who was prominently
identified with the entire proceedings
of the conference stated Sunday that
it had substantiated the charges of defects
pointed out in Commander
Keye3' letter on that subject, with a
few minor exceptions. This officer has
been foremost in his denunciation of
naval defects.
DUTCH MAY MOVE ON CASTRO
TUMI SET iY THE ULTIMATUM
ALREADY HAS EXPIRED.
Venezuela Doesn't Yield—Blockade of
Its Ports by Warships of The
Netherlands Is Expected.
WUlemstad. — The Netherlands
government fixed . November 1 as
the limit of time for Venezuela to revoke
the decree of President Castro,
Issued on May 14, prohibiting the
trans-shipment of goods for Venezuelan
ports at Curacao. President
Castro has refused to revoke this decree,
but as yet, so far as is known
here the Netherlands government has
not decided upon definite action.
There has been much activity here,
but in an interview Sunday the governor
of Curacao said that Holland
ought to have assurances that Venezuela
had not revoked the decree at
the last hour of the day fixed according
to the ultimatum before taking
any active measures. He believed that
his government had made ample preparations
for any eventuality. The
opinion is held among naval officers
here that no direct steps will be
taken within a week.
There Is no question that Venezuelans
believe the Netherlands government
is preparing to blockade their
ports. Advices received by the steamer
Zulla from Maracaibo state that it
was reported on October 24 that President
Castro had ordered the mobilization
of 60,000 troops to be ready November
2. Two days later there were
rumors in Maracaibo that Gen. Nicholas
Rolando, who previously had been
charged with leading a revolutionary
movement in Venezuela, was crossing
the frontier with 20,000 men from
Cucuta, Colombia. No further account
of this movement could be learned because
mail and telegraphic communications
with Cucuta were suspended
the following day. Large shipments of
powder and shells have been received
at Fort San Carlos on Maracaibo Jake,
and there is much activity around the
frontier.
At WUlemstad a wireless system has
been established so that uninterrupted
service can now be' secured. The last
target practice of the Dutch warships
showed 75 per cent, of hits, while the
vessels were making a speed of 12
knots.
CHAIN THEMSELVES TO GRILLE.
Suffragettes Create Remarkable Scene
In House of Commons.
London.—Suffragette disturbances
have driven the government to the unusual
course of temporarily closing
the strangers' and ladies' galleries in
the house of commons. Wednesday
evening a sensation was caused by the
display of a placard and sudden shrill
cries from the ladles' gallery, demanding
votes for women, while simultaneously
a bundle of handbills fluttered
down from the strangers' gallery at
the opposite end of the chamber, land a
man shouted protests against "injustice
to women." ' «»
Attendants hurried, to the galleries |
and the male offender was unceremoniously
ejected, but from the ladles'
gallery sounds were heard of a desperate
struggle. Two suffragettes had
firmly chained thems&ives to the grille
and resisted for a time all efforts at
removal, crying continuously in .shrill
tones their demands for votes.
' The scene was watched with amazement
from the floor of the house, but
Anally the suffragettes were dragged
from their posts and removed, but
only after portions of the grille were
removed With them.

IEI DISTRICTS MO
HEI RAILWAYS
WESTERN CANADA AFFOROS BET­
TER CONDITIONS THAN EVER ,
FOR SETTLEMENT.
To the Editor — Sir:—Doubtless
many of your readers will be pleased
to have some word from the grain
fields of Western Canada, where such
a large number of Americans have
made their home during the past few
r«ars. It is pleasing to be able to report
that generally the wheat yield
has been good; it wlU average about
20 bushels to the acre. There wUI
be many cases where the yield will go
85 bushels to the acre, and othera
where 60 bushels to the acre has
been recorded. The oat and barley
crop has been splendid. The prices
of all grains will bring to the farmers
a magnificent return for their labors.
An instance has been brought to my
notice of a farmer In the Plncher
Creek (Southern Alberta) districtwhere
winter wheat is grown—who
made a net profit of $19.65 per acre, or
little less than the selling price of his
land. 30, 40, and 50 bushel yields are
recorded there. The beauty about the
lands in Western. Canada is that they
are so well adapted to grain-raising,
while the luxuriant grasses that grow
everywhere in abundance make the
best possible feed for fattening cattle
or for those used for dairying purposes.
The new homestead regulations
which Went Into force September, 1908,
attracted thousands of new settlers. It
Is now possible to secure 160 acres In
addition to the 160 acres as a free
grant, by paying $8.00 an acre for it
Particulars as to .how to do this and
as to the railway rates can be secured
from the Canadian Government
Agents.
"The development throughout Western
Canada during the next ten years
will probably exceed that of any other
country in the world's history," is not
the statement of an optimistic Canadian
from the banks of the Saskatchewan,
but of Mr. Leslie M. Shaw of
New York, ex-Secretary of the United
States Treasury under the late President
McKinley and President Roosevelt,
and considered one of the ablest
financiers of the United States. "Our
railway companies sold a good deal
of their land at from three to five dollars
an acre, and now the owners are
selling the same land at from fifty to
seventy-five dollars, and buying more
up In Canada at from ten to fifteen."
The editor of the Montlcello (Iowa)
Express made a trip through Western
Canada last August, and waa greatly
impressed. He says: "One cannot
cross Western Canada to the mountains
without being impressed with Its
Immensity of territory and its future
prospects. Where I expected to find
frontier villages there were substantially
built cities and towns with every
modern convenience. It was formerly
supposed that the climate was too
severe for it to be thought of as an
agricultural country, but its wheat?
raising possibilities have been amply
tested. We drew from Ontario many
of our best farmers and most progressive
citizens. Now the Americans are
emigrating la greater numbers to
Western Canada. Seventy-five per
cent of the settlers in that good country
located southeast of Moose Jaw
and Regina are Americans. Canada
is well pleased, with them And Is ready
to welcome thousands more."

in many ways. It may be said that
every Minister of the Gospel is a
"Fighting Parson."-. Does he not
lead the fight in the battle of Right?
Th« character in the play is a noble
one. He had during his studies for
the ministry, developed himself into
an unusually clever athlete. While
engaged in his settlement work, he
is called upon frequently- to make
ttse of his athktic ' propensities.
hence he is called "The Fighting
Parson."
The role of "The Parson" will be
in the hands of John A. Preston who
will be supported by a strong comp

One rammer moonlight night I was'

stopping usually at some' fisherman's
cottage. On this occasion 1 had
pitched a tent on the beach .and Inhabited
It alone. I war lying under
my canopy, the flaps thrown aside so
that from ' my bed—blankets only—I
could look out on the ocean. There
was the sky. light clouds slowly drifting
across the face of the moon, the
line of the horizon dividing the lighter
from the darker hemisphere. The ocean
plane met the path of moonlight broadening
toward mi' from afar, the waves
lastly rolling In and bursting on the
shore.
I nave wondered since If the music
of the waters put me to sleep and 1
awakened or whether I did not sleep.
At any rate, my- attention was arrested
by something white, at least
lighter than the sand, down near the
verge. I wiitcbed it There was an
occasional fluttering about It, like a
woman's skirts gently moved by a"
breeze. It appeared to be about the
height of a human figure, though really
in my perception of it there was nc
such thing as size, and was gently
swaying like A very young tree shaken
by the wind.
Presently It moved. Then I was conscious
that It was coming toward me.
I had no superstitious fear. 1 was sim­
ply curious. As the thing approached
It came gradually out of nebula into
the form of a woman. There Was a
certain grace of movement, a lightness
which, mingled with a slight rising and
falling, was confusing. Had the figure
appeared on the water surface I
should have thought my eyes were
transfiguring u sull that was rising and
falling on the waves.
It was only when It came neat
that I distinguished the outline of a
girl's figure—not a summer visitor, one
of plainer mold, doubtless a fisher lassie.
She stopped a few yards from
me, turned and looked out on the
ocean. Th»*«, turning again, without
appearing to notice or care who was in
