"ORIENTAL QOOD9."
Synopsis. Captain Phlneaa P.
ScVacsfl has grown up around the
clocks of Eton Francisco, and from
moss boy on a river ntoamer, risen
to tlio ownership of Uio etewnor
Macgio, Since each annual In
spection promised to be the last of
th old weatherbeaten vestal,
Scraggn naturally has some diffi
culty In securing a crew. When
the story opens, Adalbert P. Qlb
ncy, likable, but erratic, a man
whom nobody but Scraggs would
hire, la the nklppor, Nolls Ilalvor
oen, a nelonan Swede, constitutes
thn forecastle hands, and Bart Mc
Ouffoy, a wastrel of the Glbney
type, reigns In the engine room.
With this motley crow and bis an
cient vessel. Captain Scraggs Is
engaged in freighting garden
truck from Ilalfmoon bay to Ban
Francisco. The Inevitable happens;
the Magjrio goes ashore in fog.
A passim,' vessel hailing the wreck,
Mr. aibney nets word to a towing
company In San Francisco that the
ship ashoro la the Yankee Prince,
with promtso of a rich salvage.
Two tugs succeed In pulling tho
Maggie into deep water, and eho
slips her tow lines and gets away
In the fog. Furious at tho decep
tion practiced on thorn, Captains
Hicks nnd Hahorty, commanding
the two tugboats, ascertain the
Identity of the "Yankee Prince"
and, fearing ridicule should the
facts become known along the wa
ter front, determine on personal
vengeance. Their hostllo visit to
the Maggie results In Captain
Scraggn promising to get a new
boiler and make nonded repairs to
the steamer. Scraggs refuses to
filinil his promises and Qlbney and
McQunVy "strike." With marvel
ous luck, Borages ships a fresh
crow. At the end of a few days
of wild conviviality Glbney and
McGuffey aro etranded and seek
their old positions on the Maggie.
They aro liostllely received, but re
main. On their way to San Fran
clsco tboy sight a derelict and Qlb
ney and McQufToy swim to it. The
derelict proves to be tho Chesa
peake, richly laden, Its entire crew
stricken with scurvy. Scraggs at
tempts to tow her In, but the Mag
gie Is unequal to the task and aib
ney and McQuffey, alone, sail the
hip to Son Francisco, their sal
vage money amounting to $1,000
apiece. His crew having deserted
him. Captain Scraggs induces them
to return. At an "old horse" sals
the three purchase two mysterious
boxes which they believe to con
Tain smuggled "Oriental goods."
CHAPTER VII Continued.
For nn hour Mr. aibney sat on the
stern bltts nnd ruuiwntcd over a few
advantageous plans Uiat bad occurred
to him for the Investment of his share
of tho deal should Scraggs and Mc
Guffey succeed In binding what Mr.
Glbney formed "the loot." About eleven
o'clock an express wagon drove In on
the dock, nnd tho mate's dreams were
pleasantly Interrupted by a gleeful
shout from Captain Scraggs, on the
lookout forward with the driver. Mc
Guffey sat on top of the two cases
with ills legs dangling over the end
of the wagon. lie wns the picture of
contentment.
Mr. Glbney hurried forward, threw
out tho gangplank, nnd assisted Mc
Guffey In carrying both crates aboard
the Maggie and Into her little cabin.
Captain Scraggs thereupon dismissed
the expressman, and all three part
ners gathered around the dining room
table, upon which tho boxes rested.
"Well, Scrnggsy, old pal, old Bcout,
old socks, I see you've delivered tho
goods," said Mr. Glbney, batting tho
skipper across tho cabin with nn affec
tionate slnp on the shoulder.
"I did," snld Scruggs and cursed
Mr. Glbney's deraonstrntlvcncss.
"Here's tho bill o' sale all rcgulnr.
McGnffey has the change. That bunch
o Israelites run th' price up to $10.00
ench. -on these two crates o' ginseng,
but when they see we're determined
to havto 'cm nn' ain't Interested In
nothln' else, they lots 'cm go to us.
McGuffey, my dear boy, whntever nro
you n-doln there stnndln' around
with your teeth In your mouth? Skip
down Into th' engine room and bring
up a hammer nn' a col' chisel. We'll
open her up an' Inspect th' iwng."
Upon McGuffey's return, Mr. Glbney
took chnrge. IIo drove the chisel un
der 'the lid of the nearest crate, and
prepared to pry It loose. Suddenly
he paused. A thought had occurred
to htm.
"Gentlemen," he said (McGuffey
nodded his head npprovlngly), "this
world Is full o' sorrcrs an' disappoint
ments, an' It may well be that these
two cases don't contain even so much
an a smell o' ginseng after all. It
may be that they are really Oriental
goods. What I want distinctly under
stood Is tills: no matter whnt'a Inside,
we share equally In the profits, even
If thoy turn out to he losses. That's
understood an' agreed to, ain't ltT"
Captain Scraggs and McGuffey lndl
rnted that It was,
"There's a element o' mystery about
these two boxes," continued Mr, Glb
ney, "that fascinates me. They sets
my Imagination a-workln' an' Joggles
up all xpy sportln' Instincts. Now,
just to make It Intcrcstln' nn' add n
spice t' th' grand openin', I'm wlllln
to bet agnln my own best judgment
an' luy you even money, Scraggsy,
that It ain't ginseng, but Oriental
goods."
"I'll go you five dollars, just fr
ducks," responded Captain Scraggs
heartily. "McGuffey to hold the stakes
an' decide the bet"
"Done," replied Mr. Glbney. ' The
money wns placed In McGuffey's
hands, and a moment later, with n
mighty effort, Mr. Glbney pried off
the Hd of the crate. Captain Scraggs
had his head Inside the box a fifth of a
second later.
"Scaled zinc box Inside," he an
nounced. "Get a can opener, Gib, my
boy."
"Ginseng, for a thousand," mourned
Mr. Glbney. "Scraggsy, you're live
dollars of my money to the good. Gin
seng nlways comes packed In air-tight
boxes."
He produced n enn opener from tho
cabin locker nnd fell to his work on a
corner of the hermetically scaled box.
As he drove In the point of the can
opener, he pnused, hammer In hand,
nnd gazed solemnly at Scraggs and
McGuffey.
"Gentlemen," (again McGuffey
nodded npprovlngly) "do you know
wlint n vacuum Is?"
"I know," replied tho laipcrturbnblo
McGuffey. "A vacuum Is an empty
hole that nln't got nothln' In It."
"Correct," said Mr. Glbney. "My
hend Is a vacuum. Me tnlkln' about
ginseng root I Why, I must hnve wa
ter on the brain l Gluseng be dog
gonedl It's opium I"
Captain Scraggs was forced to grab
the scat of his chair In order to keep
himself from Jumping up nnd clasp
ing Mr. Glbney around the neck.
"Forty dollars a pound," he gasped.
"Glli Gib, my dear boy you've made
us wealthy"
Quickly Mr. Glbney ran tho can
opener around tho edges of ono corner
of the zinc box; Inserted the claws of
the hammer Into tho opening, and
with a quick, melodramatic twist, bent
back the angle thus formed.
Mr. Glbney was the first to get a
peep Inside.
"Urcnt snakes I" ho yelled, and fell
back against the cabin wall. A hoarse
scream of rnge and horror broke from
Cnptnln Scraggs. In his eagerness ho
had driven his head so deep Into the
box that he came within an Inch of
kissing what the box contained which
happened to be nothing more nor less
thnn n dead Chinaman I Mr. McGuf
fey, always slow and unlmnglnntlve,
shouldered tho skipper nsldc, and
calmly surveyed the ghastly appari
tion. "Twig the yellow beggar, will you,
Gib?" said McGuffey; "ono eye hnlf
open for nil tho world like he was
wlnkln' at us an' enjoyln' th' joke."
Not a muscle twitched In McGuf
fey's Hibernian countenance. IIo
scratched his head for a moment, ns
n sort f first aid to memory, then
turned and handed Mr. Glbney ten dol
lars. "You win, Gib. ' It's Oriental goods,
sure enough."
"Robber I" shrieked Captain Scraggs,
and flew nt Mr. Glbney's throat. The
sight reminded McGuffey of n terrier
worrying n mastiff. Nevertheless, Mr.
Glbney wns still so unnerved nt the
discovery of the horrible contents of
the box that, despite his gigantic pro
portions, ho wns well-nigh helpless,
"McGuffey, you swab," ho yelled.
"Pluck this maritime outlaw off my
neck. He's tcarln' my windpipe out
by th' roots."
McGuffey choked Cnptnln Scraggs
until he reluctantly let go Mr. Glbney,
whereupon uil three lied from the cab
in us from n pestilence, und gathered,
an angry and disappointed group, out
on deck.
"Opium!" jeered Captain Scraggs,
with tenrs of rage In his voice. "Gin
seng ! You nnd your Imagination, you
swine, you I Get off my ship, you lout,
or I'll murder you."
Mr. Glbney hung his hend.
"Scraggsy nn' you, too, McGuffey
I got to admit that this here Is ono on
Adelbcrt l Glbney. I I--"
"Oh, hear him," shrilled Captain
Serngps. "One on him I It's two on
you, you bloody-handed ragpicker. I
suppose thnt other case contnlns
opium, too! If there nln't another
dead corpse In No. 2 case I hope my
teeth may drop overboard."
"Shut upl" bellowed Mr. Glbney, In
a towering rage. "What howl have
you got comln'? They're my China
men, nln't they? I paid for 'em like
a man, didn't I? All right, then. I'll
keep them two Chinamen.- You two
ain't out a cent yet, an' ns for this
five I wins off you, Scruggs, It's blood
money; thut's what It is, un' I hereby
gives It back to you. Now. quit yer
whlnln', or by tho toll o tho Great
Sacred Bull, I'll lock you up all night
In th' cnbln along o' them two defunct
Celestials."
I Cnptnln Scraggs "shut up" prompt
ly, nnd contented himself with glower
ing nt Mr. Glbney. Tins mnto snt
down on the hatch coaming, lit his
pipe, mid gave 'himself up to medita
tion for fully five minutes, nt the end
of which time McGuffey was nwarc
that his Imagination was about to
come to tho front once more.
"Well, gentlemen," (ngnln McGuf
fey nodded npprovlngly) "I bet I get
my twenty bucks bnck outer them two
Chinks," he announced presently,
"IIow'II yer do It?" Inquired McGuf
fey I'olltcly.
"IIow'II I do It? EaBy ns fnllln'
through nn open hntch. I'm n-goln'
t' keep them two stiffs In th' boxc
until dark, an' then I'm a-j;cln' to take
"em oul, bend a rope it round their
middle, drop 'em overboard an nnchor
'em there nil night. I see th lud we
opens up In No. 1 enso has had a beau
tiful job of embnlmln' done on him,
but If I let them eonk nil night, like
n mnckcrel, they'll limber up nn look
kinder fresh. Then first thing In th'
mornln' I'll telephone th coroner nn'
tell him I found two llnnters out In
th bny nn' for him to come nn' get
'cm. I been nlong the wnterfront long
enough t' know that th' lad thnt picks
up a floater gets a reward o' ten dol
lurs from th' city. You can hot that
Adelbcrt P. Glbney brenks even on th'
denl, nil right."
"Gib, my dear boy," said Captain
Scraggs admiringly. "I apologize for
my actions of n few minutes ago. 1
wns unstrung. You're still mate o' th'
American steamer Maggie, an' as such,
welcome to th' ship. All I ask Ls that
you nnll up your property, Gib, an'
remove It from th dlnln' room tnhle.
I wnnt to remind you, however, Gib.
that ns shipmates me nn' McGuffey
don't stand for you shoulderln' any
loss on them two enscs o' Oriental
goods. We was t' share th' gains, If
any, an' likewise th' losses."
"That's right," said McGuffey, "fair
an' square. No bellynchln' between
shlpmntcs. Mo an' Scraggs each owns
one-third o' them diseased Chinks, nn'
we each stnnds one-third o' th' loss,
If nny."
"But there won't be no loss," pro
tested Mr. Glbney.
"Drayngc chorges, Gib, drnyage
charges. We give a man a dollar to
tow 'cm down t' th' ship."
"Forgot It," answered Mr. Glbney
magnanimously, "an' let's go over an'
get a drink. I'm nil shook up."
CHAPTER VIII.
. Had either Mr. Glbney or McGuffey
been watching Captain Scraggs nfter
he had left them they would have
been much puzzled to account for thnt
worthy's notions. First he dodged
around the block Into Drumm street,
nnd then ran down Drumm to Califor
nia, where he climbed aboard a cable
car nnd rodo up Into Chinatown. Ar
riving nt Dupont street he alighted
and walked up that Interesting thor
oughfnro until he came to No. 714.
He glanced nt a sign over the door nnd
wns aware that he stood before the
entrance to the offices of the Chinese
Six Companies, so he climbed upstairs
and Inquired for Gin Seng, who pres
ently made his nppearance.
Gin Seng, a very nice, fat Chlnn
tnnn, nrrayed In a flowing silk gown,
begged, In pidgin English, to know In
what manner ho could bo of service.
"Mo heap big captain, nllee same
ship," began Captain Scraggs. "On
board ship two Chlnn boys hnve got."
(Here Captain Scraggs winked know
ingly.) "China boy no speak Eng
lish" "Thnt being tho case," Interposed
Gin Seng, "I presume that you nnd I
understand each other, so let's cut
out tho pidgin English. Do I under
stand thnt you arc engaged In evading
the Immigration laws?"
"Exactly," Captain Scraggs mnnnged
to gasp, ns soon ns he could recover
from his nstonlshment. "They showed
me your name an nddrcss, an' they
won't leave th' ship, where I got 'cm
locked up In my cabin, until you come
nn' take 'em away. Couple o' rela
tives of yours, I should Imagine."
Gin Seng smiled his bland Chinese
smile. He had frequent dealings with
ship mnsters engaged In the danger
ous, though lucrative, trade of smug
gling Chinese Into the United States,
and while ho had not received ndvlco
of this particular shipment, he decided
to go with Captain Scruggs to Jackson
street bulkhead and sec If he could
not bo of some use to his countrymen.
As Captain Scrnggs and his Chinese
companion nppronched tho wharf tho
skipper glanced warily about. He had
small fear that either Glbney or Mc
Guffey wouhkshow up for nn hour, for
he knew that Mr. Glbney had money
In his possession. However, he decided
to tnke no chances, nnd scouted the
vicinity thorougldy before venturing
nnonrd the Maggie. These actions
served hut to Increase the respect of
Gin Seng for tho mnster of the Maggie
and confirmed him In his belief thnt
tho Maggie was n smuggler.
Cnptnln Scrnggs took his visitor In
side tho little cabin, carefully locked
nnd bolted the door, lifted tho zinc
flap back from the top of the crate of
"Oriental goods" nnd displayed tho
face of the dead Chinaman. Also ho
pointed to tho Chinese characters on
the wooden lid of the crate. 9
"What does these hen scratches
menu?" demanded Scrnggs.
"This man is named Ah Ghow nnd
he belongs to the Hop Sing tong."
"How about his pal hero?"
"That man Is evidently Ng Chung
Yip. He Is nlso a Hop Sing man."
Captain Scrnggs wrote It down. "All
right," he said cheerily; "much
obliged. Now, what I wnnt to know
Is what tho Hop Sing tong means by
shipping the departed brethren by
freight? Thoy go to work nn' flx 'em
up nice so's they'll keep, pneks 'em
away In a zinc coffln, Inside a nice
plain wood box, labels 'em 'Oriental
goods,' an' consign 'cm to tho Gin
Seng compnny, 714 Dtont street, San
Francisco, Now, why ,tre those two
countrymen o' yours shipped by freight
where, by tho way, the) goes nstruy,
for some renson that I don't know
uothln' nbout, nn' I buys 'cm up nt n
old horse sale?"
Gin Seng shrugged his shoulders and
replied that he didn't understand.
"You lie," snarled Captain Scraggs.
'You savoy all right, you fnt old Idol,
you I It's because If the railroad com
pany knew these two boxes contained
dead corpses they'd nsonkcd tho rela
tives, which Is you, one full fare each
from wherever the&e two dead ones
onics from, just the same ns though
they was alive an' well. But you lias
'em shipped by freight, nn' alms' to
spend n dollar nn' thirty cents each
on 'cm, by mnrkln' 'em 'Orlentnl
t;oods.' Hclluvn wny to treat n rela
tion. Now, looky here, you bloody
heathen. It'll cost you Just live hun
dred dollars to recover these two
stiffs, nn' close my mouth. If you
don't come through I'll umke n belch
t' th' iiowspnpcrs nn they'll keel tinul
un' skulldrng th' Chinese Six Compa
nies un' the Hop Sing tong through the
courts for cvadln' th' laws o' th' Inter
state commerce commission, an' mnke
'em look like monkeys generally. An'
then th' pollce'll get wind of It. Savey,
pollcec-rann, you fat old murderer?
Th' price I'm nskln' Is cheap, Churlcy.
How do I know but what these two
poor boys has been murdered In cold
blood? There's somethln' rotten In
Denmark, my bully boy, an' you'll
snvo tlmo an' trouble an' money by
dlggln' up Ave hundred dollars."
Gin Seng said he would go back to
Chinatown nnd consult with his com
pany. For reasons of his own he was
badly frightened.
Scarce had he departed before the
watchful eye of Captain Scraggs ob
served Mr. Glbney and McGuffey In
the ofllng, n block away. When they
came aboard they found Captain
Scruggs on top of tho house, seated on
"Well fix Scrangky."
nn upturned Are bucket, smoking pen
sively nnd gazing across the bny with
an assumption of lamblike innocence
on his fox face.
Ho soon departed, but Mr. Glbney
was suspicious. "He's got his lines
fast somewhere you can bank on
thnt," was his comment. "While we
wns nwny he rigged up some kind of
n deal, Bnrt. It stands to reason It
wns a mighty profitable deal, too.
My Imagination may be a lt off the
course at times, Bart, but In general,
If there's a dead whale flontln around
tho ship I can smell It."
"What do you make out o' thnt fat
Chinaman crulsln' down the bulkhead
In an express wagon nn' nnother Chlnn
mnn seltln' up on tho bridge with
him?" McGuffey demanded. ''Seems
to me they're comln', bows on, for the
Mngglo."
"They tell me to deduct somethln',
Bart. Walt a minute till we see If
they're comln' aboard. If they are "
"They're goln' to make a landln',
Gib."
" then I deduct that this body
snntchln' Scrnggs "
"They're hoardln' us, Gib."
"has nrrnnged with yon fat China
mnn to relieve us o' tho unwelcome
presence of his defunct friends. He's
gone nn' hunted up tho relatives an
made 'cm come ncross that's what
he's done. The dirty, low, schemin'
grnnddaddy of nil tho foxes In Chris
tendom ! I'll flsh around an' see what
flgger Scraggs charged him," nnd Mr.
Glbney stepped to the rnll to meet
Gin Seng, for It was Indeed he:
"Sow-see, sow-see, , hun-gny," Mr.
Glbney saluted the Chlnaumn In a
facetious attempt to talk the latter's
language. "Hello, there, John Chlnn
nmn. How's your liver? Cnptnln ho
alio same get tired ; he no waltee.
Whn's mullah, John. Too long time
you no come. You henp lazy all time."
Gin Seng smiled his bland, Inscruta
ble Chinese smile. "You kctchum two
China hoy In box?" ho queried.
"We hnve," boomed McGuffey, "an'
beautiful specimens they be."
"No money, no Chlnn boy," Glbney
added (Irmly.
"Money have got. Too mucheo mon
ey you wnntee. No can do. Mo pay
two hundred dollah. Five hundred dol
lah heap muchee. No have got."
"Nothln' doln', John. Five hundred
dollars nn' not n penny less. Put up
tho dough or bent It."
Gin Seng expostulated, lied, ovuded,
and H but wept, but Mr. Glbney was
obdurate nnd eventually tho Chlnn
man paid over tho money nnd deprtod
with the remains of his countrymen.
"I knew ho'd come through, flnr,"
Mr, Glbney declared. "They not to
ship them stiffs to Chlnn lo rest along
side their ancestors or be In Dutch
with the pperrlts otho departed for
ever nfter."
"Do we hnve to split tills swag with
that dirty Scraggs?" McGuffey wanted
to know. "Seeln' ns how he tried to
give us tho double cross"
"We'll flx Scraggsy aW shlp-shapo
nn' lognl so's he won't hnvu Ho come
back." They nnd not long to walr. Upon
his nrrlvnl at Gin Song's place of busi
ness Cnptaln Scrnggs had been In
formed that Gin Seng hat! gone out
twenty minutes before, nnd further In
quiry revealed that he had departed
In an express wagon. Consumed with
misgivings of disaster, Scruggs re
turned to the Maggie ns fast ns tho
cable car nnd his legs could carry him.
In the cnbln he found Mr. Glbney nnd
McGuffey plnylng crlbbnge. They laid
down their hands ns Scraggs entered.
Mr. Glbney begnn nt once: "To
show you what n funny world this Is,
while me nn' Bnrt's setUn' on deck
n-wnltln' for you to come back, along
breezes n fnt old Chlnnmnn In an ex
press wngon nn' offers to buy them two
cases of Orlentnl goods. He makes mo
un' Mnc what wo considers n fair
offer. Lcmme see, now," he continued,
nnd got out a stub of lead pencil with
which he commenced figuring on the
white oilcloth table cover. "We paid
twenty dollnrs for them, two derelicts
nn a dollnr townge. That's twenty
one dollars, an' n third o' twenty-one
ls seven, an' seven dollnrs from twenty-live
leaves eighteen dollars comln'
to you. Hero's your eighteen dollnrs,
Scraggsy, you lucky old vagabond all
clear proilt on a ncnt day's work, no
expense, no Investment, no bnck-break-In'
Interest charges or overhead, nn'
sold out at your own flgger "
Captain Scraggs' face was n study
In conflicting emotions as ho raked In
the eighteen dollars. "Thanks, Gib,"
he snld frigidly.
"Me an' Gib's goln' ashore for lunch
at tho Marigold cafe," McGuffey an
nounced presently, In order to break
the horrible silence that followed
Scraggsy's crushing defeat. "I'm will
In' to spend some o my profits on tho '
denl nn' blow you to n lunch with n
small bottle o' Dago Bed thrown In.
How nbout It, Scrnggs?"
"I'm on." Scrnggs sought to throw
off Ills gloom nnd nppear sprightly.
"What'd you peddle them two cadavers
for, Gib?" N
Mr. Glbney grinned broadly, but did
not answer. In effect, ills grin In
formed Scraggs thnt that wns none of
the latter's business and Scraggs ns
slmllntcd the hint. "Well, nt any rate,
Gib, whatever you sonked him, It wns
a mighty good sale an' I congrntulnle
you. I think mebbe I might ha dune
a little better myself, but then It
nln't every day a feller "can turn an
elghtcen-dollar trick on n corpse."
"Comln to lunch with us?" McGuf
fey fiemunded.
"Sure. Wnlt a minute till I run
forwnrd nn' see If the lines Is all fas,'."
He stepped out of the cnbln nnd
presently Glbney nnd McGufTey were
conscious of n rapid succession of
thuds on the deck. Glbney winked nt
McGuffey.
"Nother new hat gone to h 1," mur
mured McGuffey.
"The job that confronti ut
is to get the'o munitions down
to our friends in Mexico."

MIND HYPNOTIZED BY SIGNS
One Reason Why City Man Falls to
Familiarize Himself With the
Town'G Landmarks.
"Do you know why It Is so hnrd to
keep landmarks In your head In the
city these days?" asked the old
timer. "It Is something thnt has bothered
mo n great deal. I can remember that
up to ten or twenty years ngo I never
had nny trouble remembering that on
such nnd such n corner was n threo
story building with n wnbhly tin
cornice. On nnother corner wns n
yellow warehouse, etc.
"But a fellow doesn't remember
these things nny moro unless he makes
It a duty. I mean thnt the mind Is
no longer Impressed photographically
with tho appearanco of. buildings or
vacant lots.
"The reason Is the navertlslng signs
thnt assault the eye wherever one
looks. The letters of the alphanet are
so familiar to the eye thnt when we
set u sign the eye nt onco begins trac
ing tho letters. This doesn't menu
thnt wo rend all these signs. Our eye
Is Just, unconsciously nttrncted to the
familiar type and this type Is nbout
nil it sees on n. building or a vacant
lot.
"I don't refer only to sign hoards.
The merchnnts nowadays, particularly
the smaller merchants, till their win
dows with signs of nil descriptions.
The nnmes of the stores nre lettered
all across buildings. The result Is
we remember neither building nor
sign."
Ingratitude Always Monstrous.
Ingratitude Is monstrous; and for
the multitude to bo ungrateful wore to
mnko n monster of the multitude.
