NO REFUGE IN BANKRUPTCY In Olden Times Severe Penalties Were Meted Out to Men Unable to Pay Their Debts. curious custom was prevalent In France during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. Anyone who found it necessary to liquidate his affairs was obliged to wear a green cap a humility to himself and a warning to others. Those who made a hobby of getting rid of their indebtedness by way of the bankruptcy court should at all costs steer clear of China. Bankruptcies are almost unknown In that country, as they entail immediate ex- CHAPTER ecution. A similar drastic punishment used to be meted out to delinquent In Japan. To come nearer home, one need only go back to a little .before the Act of Union to find that debtors In Scotland were obliged to wear garments of diverse colors, a suit of gray and yellow being the most common, t In Siam, a man unable to meet his liabilities was put In chains and compelled to work as a slave for his creditor. Should he escape, his wife, children, father or other relative were seized In his stead. At one time bankrupts were considj ered criminal offenders even In England. As a matter of fact, certain cases of fraudulent bankruptcy have Incurred the death penalty In this country. Any concealment of books or the secreting of property by a debtor yas so punished. Under this law a man called John Perrot was hanged In 1761.

Ships like the Monleigh werent in the habit of indulging in expensive luxuries of that description ! His brows gathered for a moment ; and then, with a shrug of his shoulders, he walked forward to the captains cabin under the bridge and knocked. Come in! bawled a voice gruffly. Wallen entered to face the little man with the thin face and queer eyes he promptly modified queer by evasive now that he recognized as the captain. Hello! exclaimed the captain in If it aint suddenly altered tones. Mr. Wallen! And on your pins al1 But sit ready! Well, Ill be ! down ! Sit down ! He waved Wallen to a seat on the locker and pushed forward the bottle and glass that were on the table. Sit down, Mr. Wallen, and help yourself ! Wallen shook his head as he seated himself. .

Well he poured a glass for- - himself "here's to you, and just as hearty if I drink alone. And I'll add, Mr. Wallen, that Its to the rummest meeting that ever Ive known in my life! Wallen watched the mans neat disposal of four fingers, leaned back on the locker, swept his eyes around the high-grad- Lord John Russell.

He paused, shot a swift, restless glance at Wallen, then began to pace, three steps one way, three steps the other, up and down the narrow cabin. D- n it, man! he said abruptly. Ive got bad news for you. Your fathers dead For a moment Wallen neither moved nor spoke. It was difficult to grasp the full significance of the words. His father dead! d What did this man, with the little black eyes that always refused to meet ones own, who was tramping nervously now up and down a little cabin on a rusty tramp steamer here in the Java sea, at the other end of the world, know of his father, who never left the four walls of that lonely gray stone house In Cnl-- 1 ifornia? What do you know about my father? he found himself speaking in a quiet voice. Captain Laynton stopped Impulsively in front of his table, pulled the drawer open, took out a sheet of paper and handed it to Wallen. Youll get the drift of this yourself, I guess, he ventured. Wallen stared at the paper, at first with curious bewilderment and then, with the sudden flash of comprehension, he was on his feet. It was a list of the ports of call scheduled for the Upolo on her last voyage ports of call that she had never made. "What does this mean? he demanded in a low voice. How did you come by this? "Your father gave It to me, the eaptain answered. And now, If youll lust listen for a minute, Ill give you the whole story, and youll see for yourself. First I might as well tell you, though, that I own this ship. Well, I was In Honolulu light, you understand when your father came aboard one evening and offered to charter me for a three months' cruise down here. He made the price right, paid the money down in advance, and I closed with him. He gave me the list of ports, and said his son was on a trading bark called the Upolo, and that he wanted to get track of him as soon as possible, and offered an extra bonus for all hands If we made a quick job f it. Thats all I know about the reason for the cruise. Well, to cut a long story short, we started away, and were down just south of the line when the accident happened. Your father was alone down In his cabin. We heard a shot, rushed below, and, thinking it strange that he didnt show up in the excitement, called to him but got no answer. Well, we burst in his cabin door and found him dead across the bunk. You mean, said Wallen through tight lips, that he committed sui- And tfflw the Score was a very heavy one to pay Ms fathers life! Well his eyes narrowed he would pay it! Did my father bring a native servant with him a man named Gunga? he asked dispassionately. No, the other replied. "He was L alone.1 What else is there Wallen nodded. to tell me? "Not much but what you can I ran down guess, Laynton said. through the Makassar strait and made for the nearest port on that list Pobi here. Your father had paid me for the three months, and if I say It myself, when I make a bargain I stick to It If I could find you inside the three months I was going to do it. I dont know what your father was so anxious about, though I understood, of course, that he chartered me because out here, with you touching at those trading stations, he couldn't reach you by mail or cable; but I made sure it was something mighty important and I thought youd know what It was. It was almost an interrogation, put naturally, nonchalantly enough save for a trace of eagerness In the mans tones that was not entirely disguised. I havent the slightest idea, said Wallen smoothly. You havent? Layntons eyes for once fixed steadfastly. Well, thats queer! A man dont go to the expense of chartering a ship like this without a pretty good reason, and I dare say my father knew, suggested Wallen quietly. Then briskly: The question now is: What are you going to do, captain? said Captain Laynton, I Why? thought Pd made that plain enough. When I make a contract I keep it.

These courses remind me of motion-pictur- e if he had misjudged the man. Oh, that takes reel acting.
