Synopsis.—Captulu Phlneas !’■
Scruggs has grown up around tire
docks of San Francisco, and from
mess boy on a river steamer, risen
to the ownership of tlrV steamer
Maggie. Since each annual in-
sertion promised to be the last of
the old weatherbeaten vessel.
Scraggs naturally has some diffi-
culty in securing a crew. When
the story opens, Adelbert P. Glb-
ney. likable, but erratic, a man
whom nobody but Scraggs would
hire, 1b the skipper, Nells Halvor-
Bon a solemn Swede, constitutes
the forecastle nands, and Bait Mc-
Guffey, a wastrel of the Ulbney
type, reigns In tire engine room.
With this motley crew and his an-
cient vessel. Captain Scraggs is
engaged In freighting garden
truck from Halfmoon hay to San
Francisco. The Inevitable happens;
the Maggie goes ashore in a fog.
A passing vessel hailing the wreck,
Mr. Ulbney gets word to a towing
company in San Francisco that the
ship ashore is the Yankee Prince,
with promise of a rich salvage.
Two tugs succeed in pulling the
Maggie into deep water, and she
slips her tow lines and gets away
in the fog. Furious at the decep-
tion practiced on them, Captains
Hicks and Flaherty, commanding
the two tugboats, ascertain the
Hie rusty chain, singing through the
huwsepipe. “Snub her gently, Mac,
snub her gently, an' give her the thir-
ty-fathom shackle to the water’s edge,

Scraggs promising to get a new

fulfill his promises and Glbney and
McGuffey “strike." With marvel-

of wild conviviality Glbney and
McGuffey are stranded aid seek
their old positions on the Maggie.
They are hostllely received, but re-

“Well, now,” McGuffey declared, af-

For the first time In his checkered

day Sunday. Such action, when he
knew both gentlemen to he the pos-
of wealth far beyond the
dreams of avarice, bordered so close-
ly on the miraculous that Scraggs made
mental resolve to play fair In the
future—at least as fair as the limits
of his cross-grained nuture would per-
mit. He was so cheerful and happy
McGuffey, taking advantage of
the situation, argued him into some
minor repairs to the engine.
About nine o’clock, as Mr. Glbney
was on his way to the Marigold Cute
hieakfast, he was mildly inter-
ested, while passing the Erabarcadero
warehouse, to note the presence of
fully a dozen seedy-looking gentlemen
of undoubted Hebraic antecedents,

The ship lay in the wind, shivering.
Mr. Glbney was here, there, every-
where. One minute he was dashing
ulong the deck with a leading line, the
next he was laying out aloft. He or-
dered himself to do a thing and then,
with the pent-up energy of n thousand
devils, he did it. The years of degra-

from place to place with the old exul-
tant thrill of youth and Joy In his
work. A word, a gesture, from Mr.
Gibney, and McGuffey would pounce
on a rope like a hull-dog. JVith the
fore-royal set, Mr. Glbney ran hack to
the wheel and put it hard over. There
being no after sail set the bark swung
off readily on to her course, slipping
through the water at a nice eight-knot
speed. Ten miles off the coast, Mr:
Gibney hung her up in the wind again,
braced his yards with the aid of the
winch and McGuffey, came about and
headed north. At three o’clock she
cleared the lightship and wore around
to come in over the bar, steering east
by south, half-south, for Point Bonita.
She drew the full advantage of the
wind now and over the bar she came,
ramping full through the Gate with
her yards squared, on the lust of the

CHAPTER VII.
When Captain Scraggs, after aban-
doning all hope of sulving the bark
Chesapeake, returned to the Maggie,
the"little craft reminded him of noth-
ing so much as the ward for the In-
corrigible of an insane asylum. Due
to Captain Scraggs' stupidity and the
general Inefficiency of the Maggie, the
new. navigating officer w as of the opin-
ion that he had been swindled out of
Ids share of the salvage, while the new
engineer, furious at having been en-
gaged to baby such a ruin as the Mag-
gie's boiler turned out to be, blamed
Scraggs' parsimony for the loss of his
share.,of the salvage. Therefore, both
men aired with the utmost frankness
their opinion of their employer. One
word borrowed another until diplomat-
ic relations were severed and, in the
language of the classic, they mixgd
it." They were fairly well matched,
and, to the credit of Captain Scruggs
lie it said, whenever he believed him-
self to have a fighting chance Scraggs
would fight and fight well, under the
Tom-cat rules of fisticuffs.
Following a bloody bottle In the pilot
house, he subdued the mate; following
Ids victory he was still war mad, so
he went to the engine-room hatch and

“Rots," replied Mr. Glbney, who
prided himself on being something of
a veltrinarian, having spent a few
months of his youth around a Avery
stable.
"A million dollars In Confederate
greenbacks," replied the auctioneer.
“Of course they didn't have any value,

The auctioneer glanced quickly at
Mr. Glbnqy, hut noticing that worthy’s
face free from guile, he hurst out
laughing.
“My seafaring friend," he said
presently, “when we use the term 'old
horse,’ we use It figuratively. See all

ees, and after It’s In the warehouse

Mr Glbney took refuge in a lie. “Of

my hearty.” (Here Mr. Gibney’s
glance rested on two long heavy sugar-
pine boxes, or shipping cases. Their
Joints at all four corners were cun-
ningly dove tailed and wire-strapped.)
"I was a lilt Interested In them two
boxes, an’ seeln' as this Is a free coun-
try I thought I’d Just step in an' make
a bid on them,” and with the words,
Mr. Gibney walked over and busied
himself In an Inspection of the two
crates In question.
The fact of the matter wns that so
embarrassed was Mr. Glbney at the
exposition of his Ignorance that he
desired to hide the confusion evident
In his sun-tanned face. So he stooped
over the crates and pretended to he
exceedingly Interested In them, haul-
ing and pushing them about and read-
ing the address of the consignee who
had failed to call for his goods. The
crates were both consigned to the Gin
Seng company, 714 Dupont street, San
Francisco. There were several Chi-
nese characters scrawled on the top of
each crate, together with the words,
In English: “Oriental Goods.”
As he ceased from his take inspec-
tion of the two boxes, the King of the
Forty Thieves approached and sur-
veyed the sailor with on even greater
amount of distrust and suspicion than
ever. Mr. Gilmey wus annoyed. He
disliked being stared at, so he said:
“Hello, Blumenthal, ray bully boy.
What’s aggravatin’ you?"
Blumenthal (since Mr. Gibney, in
the sheer riot of Ids imagination
elected to christen him Blumenthal,
the nume will probably suit hint as
well as any other) enrae close to Mr.
and drew hint aside. In a

friends o’ mine (here Mr. Glbney en-
circled Scraggs and McGuffey with an
arm each) next to the secret which I
discovers, an’ If there’s money In It
for old Hooky that buys me off, It
stands to reason that there's money
in it for us three. What’s to prevent

Mr. Gibney. Captain Scruggs clutched
Ids mate’s arm in a frenzied clasp.
“What?” they both Interrogated.
' “Y’ou two hoys," continued Mr. Gib-
ncy with aggravating deliberation, j
“ain't wlmt nobody would cull dum-
mies. You’re smart men. But the
trouble with both o’ yon boys is you

grimy forefinger, and Scraggs and Mc-
Guffey eyed It very much as If they
expected It to go off at nny moment) —

Gin Seng company, 714 Dupont street,

Well, that’s up In Chinatown, all
right," admitted Captain Scraggs, "but
how about what’s Inside the two
orates?”
‘Oriental goods, of course,” said Mc-
Guffey. “They are consigned to a

found it absolutely Impossible to nour-
ish a grudge against Captain Scraggs,
when, upon returning to Scab Johnny's
boarding house, their host handed
them a grubby note from their enemy,
it was short and sweet and sounded
quite sincere; Mr. Gibney read it
aloud:
■ On Board the Maggie, Saturday night.
‘Dear Friends:
1 am sorry. You hurt me awful with
your kldden when you took the Chesa-
peake away from me. To er is human
but to forgive is devlne. After what
l done I don’t expect you two to come

mates once.
“P. P. Scraggs.
“Why, the pore ol’ son of a horse
thief." Mr. Gibney murmured, much
moved at this profound abasement.
“Of course we forgive him. It aln t

prit has paid his fair price for his

bidding at all auctions, frighten off, or
buy off, or outbid all competitors, and
eventually gather unto themselves, at
their own figures, all goods offered for
sale.
In the center of the group Mr. Glb-
ney noticed a tall, lanky individual,
evidently the leader, who was issuing
Instructions In a low voice to his
henchmen. This Individual, though
Mr. Gibney did not know it, w'as the
King of the Forty Thieves. As Mr.
Gibney luffed into view the king eyed
him with suspicion. Observing this,
Mr. Gibney threw out his magnificent
chest, scowled at the king, and stepped
into the warehouse for all the world
as If he owned it.
An oldish mnn with glasses—the
auctioneer—was seated on a box mak-
ing figures in a notebook. Him Mr.
Glbney addressed.
“What’s all this here?" he Inquired,
Jerking his thumb over his shoulder
nt the group.
“It's an old horse sale." replied the
auctioneer, without looking up.
Mr. Gibney brightened. He glanced
around for the stock In trade, hut ob-
serving none concluded that the old
horses would tie led In, one at a time,
through a small door In the .rear of
the warehouse. Like most sailors Mr
Glbney had a passion for horseback
riding, and In a spirit of advVnture he
resolved to acquaint himself with the
'ns and outs of an old horse snle.
“How much might a man have to
give foi one of the critters?" he asked, an
hoarse whisper he desired to know if
Mr. Glbney attended the auction with
the expectation of bidding on any of
the packages offered for snle. Seek-
ing to Justify his presence, Mr. Glbney
advised that it was Ids Intention to
bid on everything In sight; whereupon
Blumenthal proceeded to explain to
Mr. Gibney how impossible it would
■>e for him, arrayed against the Forty
Thieves, to buy any article at a rea-
sonable price. Further: Blumenthal
desired to inform Mr. Glbney that Ids
(Mr. Glbney’s) efforts to buy in the
"old horses" would merely result in
Ills running the prices up, for no benef-
icent purpose, since It was ever the
practice of the Forty Thieves to per-
mit uo man to outbid them. Perhaps
Mr. Gilmey would he satisfied with a
fair day’s profit without troubling him-
self to hamper the Forty Thieves and
interfere with their combination, and
with the words, the king surreptitious-
ly slipped Mr. Gibney a fifty-dollar
greenback.
Mr. Gibney’s great fist closed over
the treasure, he hnvltig first, by a coy
glance, satisfied himself that It was
’•eally fifty dollars. He shook hands
with the king. lie said:
“Blumenthal, you’re a smart man.
I am quite content with this fifty to
keep off your course and give you a
wide berth to starboard. I’m sensi-
ble enough to know when I’m licked,
•in’ a fight without profit ain’t in my
line. I didn’t make my money that
way, Blumenthal. I’ll east off my lines
•ind haul away from the dock," and
suiting the action to the figure, Mr.
Gibney departed.
He went first to the Seaboard drug
store, where he quizzed the druggist
for five minutes, after which he con-
tinued his cruise. Upon reaching the
Maggie he proceeded to relate in de-
tail. and with additional details sup-
plied by his own Imagination, the story
of Ills morning adventure.
“Gih," said McGuffey enviously,
“you're a fool for luck.”
“Luck," said Mr. Gibney, beginning
to expand, “is what the feller calls a
relative proposition—”
“You’re wrong, Gib,” Interposed
Captain Scraggs. “Relatives Is un-
ucky an' expensive. Take, f’r In-
stance, Mrs. Scruggs' mother—"
“I mean, you lunkhead,” saltl Mr.
Glbney, “that lurk Is found where

a Chinese panacea for exhaustion, an
I happen to know that it’s worth five j

pounds each If they weighs an ounce.”
Ills auditors stared at Mr. Glbney
much as might a pair of baseball fans
at the hero of a home run with two
strikes and the bases full.
"Gawd!” muttered McGuffey.
“Great grief, Gib! Can this he pos-
sible?” gasped Captain Scraggs.
For answer Mr. Glbney took out his
fifty-dollar bill and hniided It to—to
McGuffey. He never trusted Captain
Scraggs with anything more valuable
than a pipeful of tobacco.
“Seraggsy,” he said solemnly, "I’m
willin’ to back my Imagination with

With a fervent handshake all
around, the three shipmates parted.
After disposing of a hearty break-
fast of devilled lamb’s kidneys and
coffee, Mr. Glbney Invested In u ten-
cent Sailor’s Delight and strolled down
to the Maggie. Nells Halvorsen, the
lone deckhand, was aboard, and the
