futtered to the ground. Instantly and
together, we fired. Farrari's bullet
whizzed past me, merely tearing my coat

The surgeon hurried to his side,
and turned him so that he lay on his
back. He was unconscious, though
his dark eyes were wide open, and
turned blindly upward to the sky. The

with blood. We all gathered round
him.

with the indifference Of practised duel
list.
ZACH! o good shot, indeed!" replied
the little German doctor, shaking his
head as he rose from his examination
of the wound. Excellent He will be

At that moment, deep, anguised sigh

ing eyes so awfully upturned. He looked
upon Us ell doubtfully one after the
other-till finally his gaze rested
upon me. Then he grew strangely ex-
cited, his lips moved,-he eagerly tried
TO speak. The doctor, watchful OF his
movements, poured brandy between his
teeth. The cordial gave him mOmen-
tary strength-he raised himself by Q su-
preme effort
"Let me speak," he gasped family, Ito

She Is Furnishing the Money to Build a
Navy for Montenegro.
LONDON, Sept 29.-A Vienna dispatch
says the order from Montenegro for the
building of three volunteer cruisers in
English harbors is the subject of consid-
erable discussion in official circles. BY
the terms Of treaty Montenegro has no
right to a separate navy. Her vessels
must fly the Austrian flag. This re-
striction is very CALLING to the Montene-
gros, and they have more than once
asked the advice of the czar as to evad.
ing or defying it. The vessels ordered
will be men of war to all intents and
purposes. There is no doubt, whatever
that Russia advances the money to pay
for these vessels, so that they will vir
tually be Russian ships of war, going ant
coming in the Mediterranean. It is un
derstood in Vienna that Montenegro il
in miserable condition financially
The wretched peasantry have bee,
squeezed to the utmost and the prince i
unable to get money enough togethe
for his household much less to pay for
navy. Is is obvious, therefore, tina
Russia, having no naval depot in tn,
Mediterranean, is using Montenegro fol
that purpose.

lived near Beaver Creek, were burned

in the Holland settlement can not be
