Lafeker says: "Taken all round you will perhaps agree with me that Black, by choosing the defense 3 P-Q R 3 to the Ruy Lopez, unneccessar ily damages his Q side pawns, while the development of his pieces gires him no compensation for that disadvantage." And regarding the Berlin defense (3 Kt-B 3:) The defense yields in all re- j -sets a satisfactory game to the second player." Ve have given the Berlin and Barnes defense some attention heretofore and in Game Studies No. G quoted largely from Lae-ker's Common Sense in Chess to show the weakness of the 3 P-QR3 3 defense. This week the further study of that defense is continued. L P-K4 P-K4 2. Kt KB3 Kt QB3 3. B Kt5 P-QR3 4. BQR4 Kt KB3 5. Castles KtxP . PQ1 PKt4 7. BKi3 PQ4 8. PxP BK3 fl. PQB3 KBB4 10.

But, anyway, this is how it happened that Mull worth lost his job: r MulVworth was mate, good officer, a little thick in the neck, majbe, and un duly attached to an evil looking pipe, but civil enough if too many passengers didn't ask him if he thought the little black cloud out yonder meant a storm. . His limit was seven. The eighth, if a man, would get this answer: "How do I know any better than your" The third officer, who was something of a ladies man and smoked cigarettes, had been known to reach 12 questions of this sort without rarymg from the even tenor of his reply, "Really, now, you know, we're moTing out from under the weather all the time, and a falling ba rometer here doesn't mean foul weather where we'll be an hour from now." The unlucky thirteenth, a school ma'am, was too much for the third offi cer, and he said, in the thin tone of a man who is catching his breath: "Mad am, will you kindly- go to the first offi cer? . He knows all about little black clouds." " Mull worth "was off . duty at the time, puffing smoke .from his pipe. He read the question in the schoolma'am's eye before she was within ten feet of, him. "Madam," he said, "you are a fool wom an," which caused complaint to the' cap tain. " . "; - But that wasn't what finished the first officer. It was thaf pipe of his. He was smoking it on the bridge one night when the captain strolled up unawares. "Mr. Mullworth," said the captain, with the accent on the "Mr" . "you know it is against the rules for" an officer on duty on the bridge to smoke, and it sets a bad example for the men. Put out that pipe." "Aye," said the first, officer, knocking out the ashes and putting the pipe in his pocket. The very next night was what is known as a "snifter" snow, raw wind, nasty sea the kind sailors say they are more likely to get just outside of New York in winter than anywhere else on the whole broad Atlantic. The captain, comfortable after a din ner and much talk with the plump, un attached girl to whom the saloon stew ard, with his usual perspicacity, had given the seat of honor at the captain's right hand, took an evil notion to go up on the bridge. It was snowing so hard you could scarcely see Mullworth, whose watch it was, except by a little red glow that moved back and forth, and of course he couldn't see the captain, or there wouldn't have been any little red glow from Mullworth's pipe. "Mullworth." roared the captain, "put out that pipe!" "Aye," said the first officer, knocking out the ashes and putting the pipe in his pocket. : The man who was at the wheel says the twain stalked back and forth in the storm. side . by. side, s full 15 minutes without a word between them. Then the captain went down "and watched a poker game in the smoking saloon, puff ing fiercely on a Manila cigar. 1 But the hearty good cheer of that Ma nila could not smooth the captain. He threw away the butt -.with more force than was necessary as he strode out into the driving snow. His. footfalls made no sound, and the first that . Mullworth knew of his approach , the captain was planted squarely in front of him. , Mullworth didn't ' even try to take his pipe out of his mouth. They glared at each other for a minute. Then the cap tain, with slow deliberation, took the pipe from the first officer's mouthr broke the long brier stem across his knee, cast the two offending pieces into the sea and stamped off to the little stairway that leads down to the hurricane deck. "Aye," said the mate as the captain disappeared. The ship docked at her pier in New York next day, but the captain said noth ing to the powers that be of the first offi cer's breach of discipline. Perhaps he had forgotten all about it by the time the ship had dropped her pilot down beyond Sandy Hook on her next trip out. " Certainly so small a matter should not have disturbed him, for bad not the sa loon steward delivered him from an im portant pair of passengers armed with a letter of introduction to him and wedged them down at the lower end of the table, between a grumbling Philadelphian and a loud voiced Chicago man? And had not that same steward placed at his right hand an uncommonly pretty tourist girl who didnt know a soul on board? Perhaps the captain was thinking about the girl s he strolled out on the hurri cane deck smoking his pipe. Mullworth looked down upon him from the bridge and breathed a prayer, and the prayer was answered, for the captain presently climbed to the bridge, pipe in mouth. As he indifferently answered Mull worth's salute the first officer snatched the pipe from between the captain's teeth and threw it far out into the sea. "We allow no smoking on the bridge, sir," he said. "It's against the rules and sets a bad example to the men." "Aye." said the captain. And so Mullworth lost his place, "I wouldn't 'a done if. said Mull worth afterward,. ,"if he'd only just thrown my pipe into the sea, even though that same old pipe was more than a brother to me. but to look at him a-break- ing it across his knee that was more than an honest man could stand." New York Press. - - Silenced the Quaker, r One of our famous actors was at times the victim of strange fancies. Once he took the fancy to be an -absolute vegeta rian, and while possessed of this idea he was traveling on a steamboat and hap pened to be placed at table opposite a solemn Quaker, who had been attracted by the eloquent conversation of the great actor.- The benevolent old Quaker, .ob serving the lack of viands on his vis-a-vis plate, kindly said: - "Friend, shall I not help thee to the breast of this chicken?" - "No, I thank you, friend," replied the actor. "Then shall I not cut thee a slice of the ham?" - -"No, friend, not any." "Then thee must take a piece of the mutton. Thy-plate is empty, persisted the good old Quaker. v" "Friend." said the actor in deep, sten torian . tones whose volume and power had so often electrified audiences, friend.
