AN OMNIBUS CoNFAB.
Captain Starbright stood biting his mus
tached lip without moving. Had. he not
known Lura Joyce so intimately he would
have thought nothing of her remark that
she Kissed hotly in his ear. He knew the
determined nature of the girl, however,
and realized that his plot for million was
about to be frustrated unless something
happened to remove Lura Joyce from his
path.
Something must happen" was his men
tai decision.
He did not follow Miss Joyce into the
house, but walked down the steps and hur-
ried swiftly away to the stable. Here he
saddled one of his grays, led him forth, and
soon galloped swiftly down into the hollow,
then up the incline to the level ground be-
yond.
Before going a mile the horseman turned
his animal into the thick bushes lining the
road, and after going short distance came
to a halt and dismounted, securing the horse
to a sapling

muttered. Il have business Of an impor-

He pushed through the bushes at rapid
pace, consuming half-hour's time, per-
haps, in following an ill-defined path, and
then halted in front of a log cabin built on
the edge of deep gulch.
Night had now fallen, but light glowed
through the one front window. assuring the
Captain that an occupant was within. He
went at once and raped. When the door
opened in answer to his summons he
quickly crossed the threshold, and as it
closed behind him he found himself facing
an Unlocking crone, who had been engaged
in the interesting operation of getting
solace from the stem of black clay pipe.
"Eha Cap,n Starbright as live ejacu-
lated the female, resting the gaunt end of
her under jaw on the end of her thumb as
she spoke, the pipe swinging TO and fro at
her side between the fingers of her other
hand.

HUNTnefoN, JRaeb.-Late news from thu

reported. The waters are receding and
couriers have arrived bearing news of an
unprecedented food.
From Bedford to Huntington on the Roy.
ston branch and on to Lewiston on the
Juniata river the devastation is the greatest
in central Pennsylvania except Of course at
Johnstown. Not house is left that stood
within reach of the swollen streams. The
damage to property will reach $500, 900,
while other towns in the county have suf.
fered correspondingly.
At Mapleton the immense tannery OF L.
A. Roberts was damaged to the extent oi
$2O0. 900, and the loss to other property
will reach 100, 900 more. The Powell
furnaces at Sexton sustained loss OF
$500 900, and at that place both railway
bridges were swept away, leaving railway
communication with Bedford cut of. For
q distance OF three miles here four miles OF
the Pennsylvania tracks are destroyed,
with bridges gone at Manayunk and Lewis
