The rains of summer suggested the salty spray beating in his face. He longs once more for the reek of tar. So Captain Moon is going back. Back to the sea that once cast him upon a desert island, the sea on v, men a mutinous crew sougat to murder him, the sea on which fire burned tne very deck from under his feet. Although the sea has not treated Captain Moon kindly, he finds its lure irresistible. During his 53 years on shipboard his adventures have been legion.. On one occasion a mate stabbed to death a Spanish sailor whose knife, seeking the Captain's heart, came so close to its goal that the skipper's clothing was slashed. He has been in shipwrecks, fires in mid-ocean and naval engagements, and was tried and acquitted for smuggling arms into Nicaragua during a revolution. And, despite the acquital, Captain Moon will tell you that he did take arms and ammunition to the Central Americans. Early in his career, Captain Moon took a three-masted schooner around Cape Horn. This was accomplished in the face of a mutiny and in the teeth of a blizzard after the little craft had battled 49 days with head winds off the capes. On this trip the captain had saved a French sailor from being laid across a cask and flogged. Shortly after this incident the mutiny plot was hatched. Captain Moon was to be hit over the head and thrown overboard. Lots were drawn to determine who should strike the fatal blow. It fell to the Frenchman. The latter, remembering the captain's earlier action, refused. This was the beginning of the collapse of the mutiny. While the crew wrangled a storm broke. For 49 days the hurricane raged. The mutinous crew had to be driven to knock the rails from the ship, so that the seas that threatened to swamp her might run off. After the storm Captain Moon recovered full control of the crew and the threatened mutiny was averted. Among other things Captain Moon, was the first to tow a barge across the Atlantic and the first to take a lightship to Bahia, Brazil, the longest trip ever made by a lightship under its own power. His brig, the Rescue, was shipwrecked on an island near the Bahamas, and in ai terrific blizzard off Diamond Shoals Lightship in the darkness of night he rescued 12 persons, when two barges towed by a tug he commanded went down. During the Spanish-American War he commanded the dispatch boat Hercules, which carried newspaper correspondents. He was on the firing line at the Battle of Santiago and has a letter from the late Admiral Winfield Scott Schley attesting that fact. He also was off Santiago IBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBj For jj JEWELRY of the Better Sort At Prices Consistent With Its Quality See WM. J. MILLER 28 E. Baltimore St. BALTIMORE, MD.

Service Trucks are designed with a thorough understanding of truck-operating conditions. They are built to do the work you will require of them with the minimum of attention or care. They are designed for continuous service under the most exacting conditions. All the valuable features of truck design that our twelve years of specialization in truck-building have developed are embodied in the Service Trucks of today. Experimental construction is rigidly excluded until it is unquestionably perfected and proved. Service Trucks, while not the highest priced trucks made, are not sold at a low price. If they were, they could not be good, but they are positively the lowest price and cheapest truck in the end, by reason of their long life, comparatively light upkeep expense and reasonable price on repair parts, and their ability to give the greatest ton mileage for the least cost.

And although he has decided to go back to the sea, he only smiles when asked about his plans and says: "I have a plan formulated and will carry it into effect as soon as possible. It will at least furnish lots of excitement, and that's what I want." Friends of the captain, too, smile when his "plan" is mentioned. All of them believe they could guess what it is. But none voices his thoughts. Instead, each smiles knowingly. Meanwhile, there is a "For Sale" sign tacked on a tree in that part of Captain Moon's farm that fronts the road at Lansdowne. JOHN T. JESSEN CLAIMS $10,000 FOR ALIENATION OF WIFE'S AFFECTIONS. John T. Jessen, through C. Gus Grason, his attorney, filed suit in the Circuit Court at Towson against Edwin S.

KEIFER HONORED BY ELKS. 1,000,000 GALLONS OF WATER LOST IN MAIN BREAK. Cellars of two homes were flooded a small bridge across a creek was swept away and 1,000,000 gallons of water was lost when a 3 6-inch main leading from the city high-service reservoir near Pikesville burst. The level of the water in the reservoir dropped 12 inches before the flow could be shut off. The break occurred in a sectin of pipe on the private right of way in the rear of Reisterstown road, near Naylor's lane. The water shot from the ground in a geyser-like stream, flowed down over the car tracks on the Reisterstown road and flooded the cellars of the Reisterstown road homes of Frank Warren and Mrs. Benjamin Bowerson. The break probably was due to an imperfection in a section of the pipe line, seven miles long, which runs from the reservoir to supply that section of city and county north of Mondawmin avenue and west of Jones' Falls. COUNTY PASTOR TO SAIL FOR WORK IN ORIENT. Mr. George S. Keifer, a Baltimore countian until city extension took him and his town, Mt. Winans, into the city, has for years been one of the leading members of Towson Lodge of the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks. He has been its treasurer for years and rarely misses a meeting night. He believes in the principles of Elkdom and in his life exemplifies charity, Justice and brotherly love. Last Tuesday night was not the regular meeting of the lodge, but it was Mr. Keifer's 80th birthday anniversary, so a special meeting of the lodge was called under some pretext for that night and there was a large attendance. Mr. Kiefer was at his desk as usual, the youn-'t 8 0-year-old man to be found any>. ere; it was the unanimous opinion that he did not look a day over 60. During the proceedings Judge Duncan, on behalf of the lodge, referred to his life of usefulness and his value to his lodge and presented him a magnificent box of roses. Mr. Kiefer responded in an interesting address and told the boys that while it was true that the family record showed him to be an octogenarian, he did not feel like one. And he surely does not look or act as though age had been unkind to him. Congratulatory addresses were also made by Exalted Ruler McComas, Capt. William P. Cole and Messrs. Edward H. Burke and Lawrence E. Ensor. After the lodge meeting closed some very wonderful war pic- i tures were thrown on the scheen as well as some cavalry drills on the border by Major Brady, U. S. A. The event closed with a buffet supper. ----------o---------- CARVEL O. COX SEEKS ABSOLUTE DIVORCE. The Rev. Paul F. Warner, pastor of the Lauraville Methodist Protestant Church, and son of the Rev.
