SEAMEN'S STRIKE. .
Brer" Sovey, of the Aberdeen Bulletin,
thu writes of the pending strike among
the coast sailors:
"Advice from San Francisco convey
the information that there is no prospect
of immediate settlement of the strike
of the seamen of the coast. It was re
ported last week that efforts to get
the warring factions together would
probably be successful, but it seems that
there was no reason for this sanguine
teehng.
"A. B. Hammond of the Astoria rail
road is one of the member of the ship
owners' associations and he is authority
for the statement that the owners mean
to hold out against the demands of the
men. Mr. Hammond states that the
shipowners are a unit in their determi
nation to conbat the demands of the
sailors, firemen, cooks and stewards, and
that at no time have they considered the
question of arbitration He adds that
the business is quickly getting into nor
mal shape. Most of the steam schooners
are running, and he believes this will
continue if the vessels are given protec
tion.
"The employers have met with consid
earable success in engaging non-union
men, and it begins to look as if the
sailors had no chance whatever of win
ning. That the present strike hag lacked
the approval of the public there can be
no doubt, and this alone would suffice to
ruin the strikers' chances of success."

"That's a great piece- of flot-atn.M re

So he wintered over that wav and
heard the girl ay:
''What country, friends, is this!"
There were some sailors around. Im'
of course the commodore outranked
them, and did all the talking. He told
her where she was, the name of the ward
bo, where the potoffice and drug store
were, the nearest trolley station, which
store gave the most trading stamp,
and what day the marked down sale
usually was.
"Whofe doing tle duking foT yon

is concerned the other is drowned. He
was hugging a rolling pin or some other
sort of household goods at his last ap

mine, rinding that I couldn t save both
the life preserver and the family album.
I let the former sink and swam ashore

She chucked him under the chin, and
what could he do? It had to be as she
said; for the commodore couldn't help
noticing as her hair dried and the mol
lusks were brushed out of her eyebrows,
that she would be a keen looker if she
hadn't just been in swimming,
"Is the duke man sweet on any skirt
at the present writing!" asked the busy
girl from behind the sand dune, where
he was changing into a Peter-Pan suit.
"He is abundantly, extensively, and
elaborately stung by a girl named Oil
via. Her father was some swell in the
neighborhood, and when he cashed he
left his job to his boy. The boy quit
paying board not long after, and Liv
has been so out of fix over it since that
she won't even look at a man. Of course
that makes Orsy worse, and he keeps
her hitching post worn with bis horses'
halter strap. But nothing doing."
"flee, ain't she the keen one!" com
mented VI, who knew a good piece of
goo-goo work when she saw it, and
would lay aside professional jealousy
any time to admire it.
So up to the Orsino doorbell went VI,
and asked for a job. She sang the duke
a few popular airs, concluding with that
touching thing, "Meet Me in Dn-buquie,
Dukie," which was then in vogue. There
was something about this new boy that
was different, though the duke didn't
get wise even for a minute as to what
it was. The boy talked nica and had a
lot of little tricks that were all to the
very well. So he got hired right away.
About the first thing Vi was assigned
to, as confidential secretary to the boss. I
was to get up some sort of communica
tion with this 'exclusive' piiyia,g(rJ, Yi
winked at herself and started b'rf hcrcf'
rand of mercy with Orsy'g letter in a
f large valise,. When she got to Liy s place
she was given,, the usual not-at -home

them vu the top step to wait, h had
brought ft few yellow-hack along and
could linger very comfortably, thank.
"Well, what do you think of that!"
said liv, when the flunkey reported the
new stoop ornament.
When I.iv had got the third porch bul
letln and learned (hat the messenger
from Orsy was eating hi lunch there
using the rainwater barrel for a linger
howl and wiping his hands on the morn
log glories, xhe aid:
"Well. Oiy sure is lu earnest by thU
time, I'm getting him right where I've
wanted him. He ecm to sure .menu
business. I'll we the adhesive kid."
When VI came In with the letter in
the large canvas telescope J,v wild to
hefe!f ;
Oh, the sweet thing! Why ho' got
the duke skinned both way from the
Jack, for look and manner and every
thing else, .iitl Ui.- lien el (ice, von
couldn't shake it with a ton of dyna
mite-. N'o duke for mine, if 1 can put the
handcuff, on thk Iluh uh!"
VI managed the love affair carefully
so that the foxy I.iv could get stucker
and nI ticker on her instead of on the
hike, in the meantime doing all h
could to make herself as necessary a a
morning's morning to the ho himself.
I.iv was a patient as possible with
her butler and a few other cipher who
were foolish about her because manuel or
other toll wa distasteful to them, and
kept on thinking about this cute boy of
the duke's.
U v had hired a girl named Maria, who
was a case, Mie had thrve gentleman
friend beside the policeman and the
iceman, and she kept all of them doing
liarade. Mnlvollo, I.iv' tattler, had
such a case of swelled head that the
other of the help were all Mire at him
so Maria, who could write her mi-tre'
hand to the "t," put up a job. She wrote
letters iu Liv's mitt and left them scat
tered about the place where Mai would
pipe them. Thee letter told him to
lo all sort of foolish things, and he wa
sticker enough to bite and do them
Maria had put the gang wise, and they
very nearly died laughing the next few
days at Mai's caper. To ton it off,
they had an insanity com mission it 'on
him, and the report was that hi head
wa in a worse fix than a packing house
a la jungte. So he wa taken away to
the dippy domicile, where a comedian
rigged up a a priest went and kidded
him. They were the real village cut -up
Meanwhile, things were getting badly
muddled with the leading man and
woman and their understudies. The duko
was getting worse and worse wrapped up
in Vi and thought it was Liv he wanted.
Though VI knew better ond didn't
Worry. Also, Liv was getting to the
sleepless point about Vi, and Vi was
chewing holes in the pillow slip every
night thinking about Ory. Wasn't that
a kettle of peaches?
One of Liv's tagger was o sore at
Vi that he challenged her to a duel. Vi
couldn't play boy on that worth a whoop
and wa wared "to a pale mauve color
trimmed with robin's egg blue.
Hut just then things began to straight
en out. They had to. It was setting
near 10:4.". and the cubs were beginning
to stop in front of the theatre.
Vi' brother Sebastian, enme along,
and they were sui-h ringers for each
other that Liv got stuck on him, and
never knew the difference until after
they were married on the quiet and
then she didn't care, Sebastian was just
in Hinit with Liv as Liv was with him,
so it was mighty fine. Orsy kept up
his spiel at Liv, though it had merely
become a habit, and he didn't mean it
as much a he used to, and Vi kept a
gentling bit on him all the time without
his knowing it. Brother Sebastian took
part in that duel that Vi was so scared
of, because the other man took him for
Vi and tackled him on the street corner.
What Bas did to the other fellow kept
three surgeons busy with their sewing
machines for a week. So Vi had earned
a reputation as a scrapper.
Then came the finish, Liv met VI In
Orsy's presence and called her "hubby."
Vi renigged Indignantly, and tried to
square herself with Orsy, Who was
mighty sore tb think his valet had cut
im out. Liv got on her high horse be
cause she thought her man was renounc
ing ner in company, and nobody can
blame her, either.
But just then Bas sauntered in, his
cleaver still steaming with the corpuscles
of the cluip he had sliced, and in a few
minutes things were clearer. VI and Bas
were as surprised about it as any one,
for each one thought the other wos dead
nd that there were spooks walking.
When it flnully got through the duke's
ocelputal bone what had happened, he
was the tickledcst duke you ever saw.
He said he had bci-n keeping up a forced
feed pressure all the time on that
Olivia stunt, ever since he had taken In
Little Breeches, there. And he told VI
to hike for the commodore's house and
gether dress, so they could be married
before he was out of the notion.

man,' h has his choice between prussic
acid and a marriage license.
