restrained the reproach that rose to his
lips, and quietly asked:
"Shall we leave a guard with the

What is the useP If we ever come
back-which very much doubt-even
If the sampan is stolen, we can build a
raft; whereas, if the natives mean mis-
more protection 10 our property than a
lady's pet spaniel"
Then what shall we do?"
Find a hollow tree and hide our
traps in 1.-THE food we cannot take
with US, the ammunition we should be
foolish to overburden ourselves with.
It will be short commons with as for a

wilderness"
This being agreed upon, they put the
project into execution, and each man

the winding path, which led to un-

Every step they took was frauGht

When Arthur Dunbar recovered con.

small apartment, whose interior was 30
remarkable that for the moment he felt
that he must be the victim of some de-
lirium, which peopled his fancy with
strange shapes and unusual objects
The walls were Of solid rock, the roof
was oval, and on its rounded sides
stalactites glittered like precious stones.
He was lying ON . couch hewn out Of

ceiling hung an oil lamp which gave q
pickering light. By the side Of his bed
the dog lay apparently sound asleep.
But what caused him the greatest SUR

CHAPTER XIV.
IN THE WOODS.

AS there is in Ceylon no twilight in
the evening-no 'children's hour be-
tween light and darl1ness-so the blood
red sun in the morning rises with leap
on the horizon pouring forth the heat
of a furnace from the very minute that
his blazing shield peeps over the tree
tops.
They had all slept during the brief
hours of repose, feeling that as they
had risked the danger of freeing their
captive, the precaution of a guard was
wasting the energies of anyone among
them, whose precious strength would
soon be taxed to the utmost. Dunbar
was tho first to wake, aroused by
the dog which had from the hour
they found it manifested the strongest
attachment towards him, and now ap-
preached him and gently licked his
facS.
Good old fellow" Arthur said, talk
ing the animals head between his hands
and looking earnestly into the brown,
honest eyes. Heaven has sent you to
aid us in our coming peril; for have a
strong presentiment that your instinct
may be more useful to us than our own
brain power. Good dog! Fine fellowI I
would not take a thousand pounds for
you this moment"
The camp was struck, and, after a
hasty meal few minutes were de-
voted to council Of war between the
young American and his trusty lieu
tenant.

we follow this track through the woods,
or turn back into the lake? For myself,

THAT you are right, sir. Like most

little more than luck, and that we

The mans levity Jared upon Dun

the atmosphere of a New England

ORIGIN OF THE PIANO.

Recent Discoveries Ascr ibe Its Invention
to an italian.
The piano-forte was invented by
Bartolommeo Cristofori, a harpsichord-
maker of Padua, Italy, who exhibited
four instruments in 1909. The honor
was formerly claimed for Marius, q
French maker, who produced a piano
in 1716; while German writer's main
tanned that Schroeder, Of Dresden, was
the initiator of the instrument. The
earliest date Inscribed to the latter's
achievement. however, is I'LL. During
the present century, however, an italian
document was discovered, written by
Marchese Scipione Maffei. Florentine
scholar, in I'LL, which testifies that
Bartolommeo Cristofori, of that city.
exhibited four pianos in 1909, which
statement was originally published in
the Giornale in that year, accom-
panied by diagram of Cristo-
fori's action principle. employing
hammers, which constituted the
chief difference between the harpsi-
chord and the piano. In Maffeis writ
ings Cristofori's name is given as "Cris-
tofali," but this is proved to be an error,
because inscriptions upon existing

living at Rome, is also said to have
made a piano-forte similar to Cristo-
forts in I'LL, which he exhibited in En-.
gland, where it attracted much notice.
Cristofori did not remain idle after
introducing his first instrument. He
became prominently known as a maker,
but died in 1871. comparatively poor.
Two piano-fortes by Cristofori, at pre- s.
emit in Florence. dated 1870 and 1916
show that he anticipated the principles
of an improved action, and many other
points OF equal Importance in the
structure and acoustics of the instru
ment. All authorities admit that he
was a great figure and a genius Of nc
common order. Spillane, in

The Roster This Morning Contained
 Many Names.
 Tn the police court this morning Andrew Bohen was charged with being drunk, yesterday. He told the court he would leave town if judgment would be suspended, but Judge Bradstreet thought $5 without costs would be a better treatment of the case.
 Joseph Hatton was again before the court on the charge of drunkenness. His record being produced by Chief Egan, a fine of $2O and costs was imposed, which if not produced, will have to be worked out in the jail.
 Mary Ward, for being drunk, paid S5 without costs.
 Ida Butler and Jennie Butler, both charged with breaking the peace, pleaded not guilty to the charge. Special Officer Geraghty, who was on duty at the casino, and who made the arrest, said that Ida was in the casino and her mother came there and wanted her to go home, which she refused to do. Mrs Butler caught hold of her daughter and tried to pull her out, but Ida stoutly re- sisted. The officer tried to stop the scrap and send the woman home; the mother would not go without the daughter, however, and both had to be taken to the police station. Mrs Butler told the court that her daughter was out nights and would not attend to her work and that she wanted her sent where she would be taken care of until she would be 21 years old; she is now r. Judgment was suspended in her case,

 PoUGEKEEPsE, N Y., April 6.-James o. Griggs, proprietor of the Morgan House, one of the leading hotels in this city, has recently received three letters written in Spanish, to the effect that 8 man in 6 prison in Barcelona for life has 16-year-old daughter whom the writer is very anxious to have brought to America. The letters state that the prisoner has an enormous treasure which he designs for his daughter. The key to the loca- tion of the treasure is in 8 trunk in the possession of a friend in Spain. The writer of the letter claims to be the only one able to read this key or cypher ex- planation of the locality of the treasure.
 Mr. Griggs sent the letters to the Spanish consul at New York, but has, unfortunately made no note of the name and address signed to the same.
 There are reasons to believe that hun dreds of such letters have been sent to various persons, as the last letter asked the loan of few hundred dollars for the expenses of working out the scheme.
 It is expected that the Spanish consul may be able So help in the exposure of what looks like a romantic attempt at a gwindle.

JOHN WORIARTY
On The Sunday Train Question At the Young Mems
 c. L. A.

We appeared at the rooms last Friday night in Lilley's block, as requested, and presented our side of the case, with which the people are familiar, We tried to show them how much better it would be if they would use their pent-up energy and ambition toward finding some place near Waterbury in which we could enjoy ourselves. But the trutl, is that they knocked us out in the first round by skill full and intelligent argument in favor of & Sunday train, and their argument was one that in the higher sense appeals to the best side of humanity. They told us that no men would go further than themselves ln trying to build up Waterbury, but it needed money and sime aS well as talk. They said that if place was selected to- day it would take years to get it into shape. They said they were all growing elder, and while they expected everything that was beautifulin life to come, they wanted little pleasure while they were here on this planet before they fell into the hands of PEOPLES EUNDERTAKER In short, they wanted something for immediate use The rich had their bathrooms, etc, etc, but the tenement house did not always afford that luxury. After working all the week i'll the factory they want salt water bath and not be compelled to sit on a door step all day Sunday after coming from church. Trains run now on Sup days, they argued, and nobody claims that it lowers the moral tone of the com munity. Many points, equally as strong, were brought forward, and after singing and reciting the meeting adjourned.
