For Great Racing Event
. 4:44.1÷:÷:41M4io.:Mos.
THERE '.has been an interval
of seventeen years (elapsed
time) since the last race for
the America's Cup, but this
summer Sir Thomas Lipton is to
make another effort to win what is
probably the most cherished sporting
trophy in the world. He was all set
to take a by at It in 1914, when the
war broke out, and ever since then
his yacht, Shamrock IV., has been
docked in New York. She' is now
said to be in first-class condition,
having been overhauled. In one im-
portant respect she vests amended,
for her -old bow was removed and
another bow built in England .was
grafted on. So accurately was the
new bow built that a coat of paint
would conceal the joint. Captain.
William P. Burton, her skipper, and
Charles E. Nicholson, her designer,
have confidence that this time the
Shamrock will win, but they' say
that if she does/e',t Sir Thomas Liptont
will build another boat and taki9 an-
other whirl at what has beeouze the
chief aim of his career. The cup will
be defended by either the Vanitie or
tixe Resolute.
Of recent years yacht racing has
somewhat declined In popularity,
but the international rivalry for the
America's Cup has of waned. This'
is due chiefly to he indomitable
pluck of the sporting Irish baronet.
SIR THOMAS LIPTON.
He has made three efforts to do what
it is claimed is virtually impossible.
In no other sporting event is the
legal adage about possession being
nine po�its out of tenso marked as
with ifegard to the cup: For instance,
the provision that the challenger has
to cross the ocean under her own sail
has been considered almost an in-
superable obstacle, for to face the
rough Atlantic she had to be so stout-
ly built that she could hardly hope
to match the frail racing machines
that'she faced on this side of the
water In recent years the fight has
been between Lipton 'and all the
United States. No other person was
.building challengers, but there have
always been - two or three defenders
- from which the New York Yacht Club
could make a selection. If in face of
these and other obstacles Sir Tyromas
Lipton should succeed, even good
sporting Americans will: give him a
hearty cheer.
The idea back of the handicapping,
of course, is to determine which ves-
sel has the smartest crew. If' the
Yachts are made practically equal
through a system of time allowances,
the yacht that wins will • be the
yacht that has: been the best handled:
The idea pf the yacht designers is to
beat the handicappers. That is to say,
ey try to get a huge spread of sail
upon a `boat of a small water Pine, or
moderate sail spread upon a boat of
great power. This has resulted in the
creation of freak vessels, and applies
to practically all the yachts that have
competed for the America's Cup in
the past thirty years. They are vir-
tually ' useless for • anything but rac-"
ing. They could not. stand up for a.
long cruise. They are as devoid of
luxuries and comforts as a racing
motor car. They cost a fortune to
build and after they are raced they
are often scrapped and sold for junk:
Moreover, when the cup is won, it
must be defended. Should Sir
Thomas Lipton win it, 'he must be
prepared next year or the year after
to build another ,each to defend it
or keep fhe winner in racing condi-
tion. If he chooses not to do so, the
Royal Ulster Yacht Club, which he
represents, will have to build a de-
- fender or else tamely permit the New.
York Yacht Club to claim the trophy. -
A race itself is usually not. specta-
cular, nor vastly exciting, except to
the enthusiasts and experts who fol-
low the racers. over their course.
This course may consist of two
stretches of fifteen miles, or three
legs of ten miles each, in which case
it is obvious that those on the shore
will not see very much. Unless one
craft outclasses the other, or unless
they are racing side by side, it is
almost impossible to say which is in
the lead. ,'Then sometimes a calm
falls and neither yacht. is able to
complete the course within the allot-
ted time, in which cr.+spy the race is
called off for the day. Perhaps the
most PX(.'if;ug moment —nt is at. the star
with each skipp r trying to cross the
line at exactly the second that the
starting -gun is' fired, Should he get
across a second too soon, he must
turn back, and since the start must
be :made definitely by a certain time,

in a way which astonished, the ,guests
and elicited furious side-reproachesfrom his. sister.
Colonel Marthorn 4urned from the
window, in the big room, after he had
watched his son embark at the foot
o the t e slope..
"We have been talking the smatter
over, Colonel," said Director Dea-
kins. "We hope- you think we acted
for the best."
"I thank you for relieving me as
, you did. But : I was sincere in sug-
'gesting that you accept Kenneth's
resignation. I do not defend his at-
titude. On the face ` of things .he
has takeut advantage of the fact that
he-• is my son." ,
"Of course, that fact had its effect
with us. It's best to be frankly
honest. But I voiced the principal
reason when I said we could not afford
go lose your son."
"I thank you again." -
"He seemed, to be considerably stir-
red by sudden impulse—a little .too
warm, if I may say so, I ,thought
we'd best handle him with some
diplomacy." •
"It's always the best way','" de-
clared the diplomatic director. "When
we gave him his way he immediately.
cooled off, as you . noticed. I'm sure
'he will devote all' his efforts to mak-
ing compromises in our favor."
.Colonel Marthorn did not comment
on that •statment;a he rubbed his
nose. -
• "When I was very small Z was un-
ruly, my mother has told me," ventur-
ed another director. "If she wanted
to keep me busy and quiet she used
to set me down on the floor, smear
molasses on my fingers, and give me
a feather to pick back and forth. I
beg your pardon, Colonel, if the refer,
ences seems too pointed."
"It is not, sir! It's decidedly to
the point." affirmed the father., He
felt that he understood better than
they how well the anecdote ap lied.
"Gentlemen, you have been very` in-
dulgent in the ease of my son. How-
ever, now that he has his molasses
and his feather, we'll go right on with
our plans to run the Great Temis-
couata as a straight business proposi-
(Continued from last week.)
"Under what window do you pro-
pose to sit first and howl your warn-
ings about the goblins of the Tehis-
couata?" grumbled the, president.
'Let me assure you, sir, and you
too, gentlemen, that your generosity
in meeting me, ae you have, ties me
up with a big responsibility." Mr.
Deakins and the diplomatic director
exchanged' significant glances.. "I
hope I'm not a blunderer. I shall do
my best to smooth things between
the interests on the river. Whey I
talked to you tas I have done was
because I felt that I was in a position
to deal with the matter more directly
than anybody else. I want to get
general co-operation in the right kind
of development. If I was a little
outspoken, please make allowances for
the- enthusiasms of youth." He soul-
ed appealingly.
"Tact! Tact will go a long way,"
affirmed Mr. Deakins. "Ande always
remember, of course, the company
that's behind you."
"Now, as to the changes which ,you:
have suggested!"
The. directors turned their eyes up-
on the preside/et, referring it to him
and, were silent.
"To many of the changes you of-
fered no objections, as I' understand
it, Kenneth."
"Oh no! Certainly not! They were
changes which will enable • me to
spend . more money for firmer con-
struction and more permanent im-
provement."
"Attend :to those changes first. Re-
port to me in writing your objections
to the other changes and we'll con-
sider modifications , in the gene
plans."
"I'll wend the report to you at the
-home office." He walked to the
window. The clouds were higher
and the rain had ceased.
"You'd better prepare it here and
give it to Me."
"I need to make a little further in-
spection aof the section in order to
be definite. I'm going to m -1. e my
get -away at once, dad. I o.
be back on the job."
"We'll allow you a few days' ..
tion—while I'm up here."
"I don't need it. Come aiosg with

ladies. If you don't let me go I'll
appeal from you to the directors!"
They Iaughed—and laughter always.
aids an exit, Kenneth walked to the
door and his father followed:
Colonel Marthorn waited in the
reception hall until his son had sent
orders to his canoemen, to have every-
thing ready for a start inside a half
hour.
When they were at the door of the
card -room the colonel halted the
young . man.. "Kenneth, if old Kav-
anagh were alive would you run. to
him with tattle about our plans?"
"Being an engineer, I don't like to
theorize in regard to something which
can never be tested."
"Well, - then, we'll deal with -some-
thing nearer a fact! Are you going
to run to the Kavanagh 'girl. with
tattle?"
"You complained of my metaphor
—I complain of your name for what
I consider good business."
"You are -going to her are you?"
"Yes! She heads the X. K."
"Aren't you shown . a little toe
eager. haste?"
"I am going back to my work, sir."
"Most praiseworthy industry! Ian
glad to have such a son,"
"Good Heavens! dad, you don't
think, do you, that I'm in- love with
Clare Kavanagh?"
"Aren't you in- love with her ?"
"Most certainly -not!"
"Then I'm truly worried Kenneth!
he case -is a desperate one."
"Why do you say that to mel?"
emended the son, with .indignation.
"Because, when . I was trying to
ave you from a piece of folly, you
old me that same thing about an-
ther woman and` with just as much
arnestness." He leaned forward
lose to Kenneth. "You lallygagging
oung pup, if you make love to .that
avanagh girl I hope she'll slap your
face. I believe she'll do it."
"So do I;" acknowledged the son.
"As a matter of fact, she showed
uite an inclination to do it the first

I ever met her—and I wasn't
enturing to make love to her either.
admit that that past performance
as given you ground for suspicion
egarding me, but in this case you
ay dismiss all your worries."
He opened the, card -room door and
bowed his father in.
Kenneth was honest enough to ad -
it that he had never before posed
s mentor of morals or model of in-
rruptibility. He had talked to 'his
uperiors as.a saint might preach to
nners. He had been conscious of
little surprise at finding •himself to

Voyagers who came to Dolan's House
and tarried for the .night under a
hoof which. covered h eartburnings.
For a reason which his canoemen
did not clearly understand, even
though the engineer attempted' some
sort of explanation to placate them
for Having to push on along after
darkness had settled, Marthorn de-
clared that they must reach _ Dolan's
House that might. In his eagerness
for haste he relieved the men alter-
nately, so that there was always
fresh strength at bow or stern paddle.
As to Dolan's House! It is one
of the Toban,institutions, a caravan-
sary at the confluence of streams, a
jumping-off place for this trail or
that, a big, unpaintgd box of a hulk
with calk -pitted floors and whittled
benches and walls yellowed by the
shaggy and unkempt heads of those
who have lounged in tipped back
chairs. The dead odor of past and
gone boiled dinners has made friend-
ly compact to settle forever in Dolan's
House along with the mustiness which
has come from the •drying of many
woolen garments and water -(soaked
boots.
But as offsets to the looks and the
atmosphere there are roaring open
fires . down -stairs and stoves in all
the upper rooms, with dry birch and
beech sticks piled high in boxes. The
fuel serves another purpose; a stick°
of wood flung dgwn-stairs by an im-
patient guest serves ifistead of a bell
to summon a profane hired man, to
perform required service. Also, no-
body ever goes hungry from Dolan's
House, and Tobias Dolan, with his
three hundred, pounds of avoirdupois
jammed tightly between the arms of
his chair, advertises his table excel-
lently rand truthfully. Whenever he
can be forced to leave his game of
cribbage he rises and goes off absent-
mindedly, with the chair sticking to
him.
He rose and came to meet Mar -
thorn of the Temiscouata with out-
stretched hand, being a crafty publi-
can with- ability to greet the valued
guest politely or to kick the obstreper-
ous intruder out of the house and on.
his way.
"How be ye?" inquired Host Dolan
giving clue as to why he owned the
nickname "How -be -ye. Tobe."
"I am very Well," returned: Guest'
Marthorn, swinging his pack to a
hook on the wall. "But I'd be a
great deal better if I could have some-
thing to 'eat."
Dolan tipped back his head, closed
his eyes, and' shouted into the sur-
roundijrig ether,letting his words
wing with a sort of wireless indiffer-
ence ,as to destination. "Wim men!
Hoy tere! Suppers for three!" He
sat down into the chair that had been
-sticking to his, haunches: "The veni-
son pie won't be as good as if .you
were here to git,it at regular supper -
time. However, it will be hotted up
for you and you'll git fried 'tat'es, riz
bread and biscuits, prunes, ginger-
bread, and apple, squash, and pump-
kin pie." Mr. Dolan, in his daily
promulgation of menu, -didnot ask
guests what they would! have; he
told them what they would "git."
Host Dolan had numerous guests.
In front of both fireplaces were I
'groups sitting -in the haze of tobacco
smoke. Straddling a short bench was 1
a bearded woods minstrel who was
twisting a moaning accordion, furn--
ishing accompaniment to his rendi-
tion'' of an interminable ballad in
regard to the exploits of one Lord
Lovell. Facing the songster, strad-
filing the other end of the bench ..
was Warden Jesse Wallin, drunkenly
beating time with a forefinger,
Kenneth, returning from the wash-
room, where he had managed Ao find
one fairly reassuring space n the
roller towel, strolled near the group
whoa} he had recognized as the men
of the Kavanagh party. Explorers
Pratt and Niles he knew, and they
spoke to him without any- show of .
animosity. Donald Kezar did not
turn his head; he sat and smoked and
stared into the fire, elbows on his
lmees.
After considering the Matter for a.
few- moments, the engineer went into
a corner ° where Host Dolan had'
established his- cigar showcase; on a
blank page in his notebook Kenneth
wrote a few words, then he crumpled
the paper, went balk to the fire and
tosked the .missive into the flames.
Sending a note to Clare Kavanagh
might look like something else -than-
mere business. He determined to
make the thing open enough so that
gossip would be disarmed.
"May I have a, word with you, Mr.
Pratt?" he asked'. •
•The explorer followed when the
engineer stepped back to the cigar-
case. •
"I am speaking to yo'u because I
noticed that you brought Miss Kava-
nagh across the river to -day. If she
has not retired will you find out
whether she will be willing to see me
to -night on a matter of business?"
"Yea, sir! I'll find out."
"Tell "her it has to do with what
came up at the conference to -day. I
must talk with her in private. Please
ask her to excuse 'my suggesting it;
I'm sure that Mrs. Dolan will allow
us the use of the sitting -room."
"Yes,' sir!"
"You'll find ,me in the dining -room
—I'll hurry my supper."
His food was already on the dun -
Betty, a circular contrivance of three
tiers, which was 'revolved by a guest
who desired helpings from this dish.
or that. The women who had loaded
on the plates and platters left th
room, for the Betty was an efficient
waiter, '
' After a long time it occurred to
Kenneth, when he reached for his
pie on the top tier, that' Miss Kav-
anagh was either showing most hu-
mane respect for` his hunger or else
she was having some trouble in ar-
riiving at a decision in regard to him.
He felt that the latter supposition
was probably true; therefore what
Mr, Pratt had to report when Ken-
neth came upon the explorer waiting
at the dining -room door was distinct-
ly cheering,
"She --is in the sitting -room, sir.
She told me not to disturb you, at
your supper."
The center -table ,with album and
Bible on the crocheted mat, the hook-
ed rugs and the rugs of braided rags,
the hanging lamp, the worsted mot-
toes—the corner eyhatnot with its
little treasures—all the' homely come
forts and adornments of the room
seemed to. be a fitting setting for a
friendly talk. -
She was standing when he enter-
ed.
He could *not assure himself that
she was at all cordial; she was very
polite, with an air of indifferfnce
which /piqued him; at Ste. Agathe
she had certainly exhibited interest
in him that was peculiar and engross-
ing, even if it was not flattering. In
a manner which subtly suggested as-
sumed meekness she sat down in a
small rocking -chair; a haircloth sdfa
was nearest him and he sat .on - that,
'but he seemed to be enthroned than
seated and was, at a disadvantage;
he felt really self-conscious and de-
cided that she had perceived it.
"I am not sure that you noticed'
me at Sebomuk to -day, Miss . Kava-
nagh. You did hot loop he my direc-
tion.", It was• an 'awkward opening
for a business talk, and he knew it,
but the 'impulse to draw her out a
bit was controlling him.
"I saw you, Mr. Marthorn."
"Thank you! - Then I need not int
form you that I heard all that was
said on both sides. Allow me to say
this—it may explain why I have ask-
ed -permission to talk with you: I am
intensely interested in what you are
trying to do for the X. K. men. I
believe your stand is right. I offer
my sincere best hopes that you may
succeed,"
"Are you speaking with authority
from your company or simply for
yourself, Mr. Marthorn?"
"Mostly for myself, I admit. But
there is a company side to the mat-
ter. I -have some rather important
information to give you. With your
permission, of course!. It relates to
what came up after you left."
'Will you be frank enough to tell
me just what your purpose is?"
,
"Certainly! I want you to be pyo -
tested." •
"Against what?'
"Unfair strategy,"
"Planned by your company?'
"Yes, Miss Kavanagh."
"What is your position with the
company at, the present time?"
"I am chief - engineer of the ley-
draulic survey,"
"Are you to continue in their ser-
vice ?"
:I am."
( "And -you come to me with a pro-
' posal to reveal your company sec-
rets?" Her tone was acrid.
" not u.- What I .'e-
sireThat to tellis youaccI'd sayratet you justd
as freely in the presence of my father
and the directors."
