Sorrel chung to the bottom of the boat,
now floating an oblong. unsteady, bal
loon, upon the waves. Miss Ker was
cling,ng there already, shrieklng out
prayers. Sorrel had made no sound.
BY their side another sailboat was hur-
rying to their rescue, lacking as we'll as
the wind would allow. The men in it
called to them to hold fast yet mo-
ment, and Sntterell's CHASTITY visage
rose to the surface and made a wild
clutch for the boat. He caught Sorrel's
shoulder instead.
Let go! cried Hardwicke.
But Sutterell was past comprehen-
sion.

But help was at hand. The other
boat was already alongside. 1t was but
three minutes since the first had cap
sized. One minute later the four
drenched bodies had been transferred
into the dry bottom of the second.

A week afterward. The little swiss
village still held its four chance voy-
ayers. Sutterell and Miss Kel had
both retreated for several days to their
beds In consequence of the nervous
shock and exposure. Sutterell. indeed,
was still INVISIBLE, and Miss Ker, this
afternoon, taking advantage Of the Pc
rogative of her years (though, as she
said that morning to Sorl ell, her prema.
turely gray hair made her seem much
older than she really was), had sought
his bedside with the miulstering graces
of Jelly turned out by her own hand.
'Sorrel,' said lIardwicke, fading the
girl alone, I insist upon definite an
swer. In week l leave for home.
Which is it to be? Your so called vo.

When the girl returned to the inn an
hour later Miss Ker was there and
started up dramatically at sight Of her
face.
You have
Promised to marry Mr.. Hardwlcke.
Yes She was SHINING and weeping at
once. Forgive me, Miss Ker! 1t isa
great disappointment, l know, but since
that moment IN the boat-when we
faced death, and knew how brave and
noble he was-I realized the whole VOL

'Oh, the old lady knows what she is

One week before they were to be
marrlel-they had both been home
several months--Sorrel came down to
meet Hardwicke with a flushed face.
Miss Ker IS to be married, too. Here

HAVE YOU THE GRIPPE?

Many People. Have 1t and Do Not Know
It-How to Recognize the symptoms ana
How to Treat Them.
Hundreds OF people have the Grippe who DO
not know it. Not necessarily the final stages.
but the FIRST stages. They feel pains in the
head. and a bad taste in the mouth, get tired
respondent have chilly sensations, limbs and
muscles ache In some cases these things are
overlooked. In most cases perhaps they
are considered simply n slight cold. In nearly
every case they indicate the coming OF Grippe.
There is but one thing 10 do when these symp
toms appear, and that is to take prompt and
vigorous measures, TO fortify nature to repel the
enemy. A little well directed effort st just the
right time will accomplish very much more than
labored effo is afterwards. There is but one
thing to be done, and that is TO use pure slim
ulant, something that will promptly arrest, and
in no way injure, something endorsed by scien-
lists, recommended by physicians, and popular
because so eficient-Dufy's Pure Malt Whis-
key. Two years ago, and last year, when the
Grippe was raging this was the standard rem
edy used, aud recommended by the profession.
IL did more TO prevent the Grippe than all other
known or recommended remedies. IL preserved
many people in health who would otherwise
have been grieyously SICK, perhaps even worse.
II Is as efficient to-day as ever II should be
borne in mind that other so-called WHISTLES
may not be so efficient and IL any dealer as
serts that such WHISTLES are he same, distrust
him at once. There is but one medicinal
whiskey, and that is Duny's Pure Malt. ~

Capital via. ID. & o. Il. II.
The third popular excursion TO Wash
ington, via. b. & o. R. r., from Pitts
burg, Wheeling, Parkersburg, Lexing-
ton and intermediate stations to Wash
iBgton Junction, Nd, is announced for
Thursday, February 18th. The popu-
larty Of these winter trips to the
National Capital via. b. & o., is due to
the exceedingly low rates, the excellence
of the train service, with Pullman ac-
commodations, and to the fact that the
3. & o. is the shortest route.
The journey is delightful as we'll as
instructive, while in Washington are
more interesting sights than In any
other American city. The museums,
the art galleries, the White House, the
public buildings-to all OF which admis-
sion is free-are attractions at all times
appreciated.
Tickets from Pittsburg, Wheeling,
and intermediate points to Martins
burg are valid to Baltimore, and as
they are good for ten days ample time
is afforded for side trips TO Mt. Vernon,
Old Point Comfort, and other adjacent
points.
Trains leave Wheeling at 6:10 a. m,
and 6:10 p. M, and for these two trains
only will tickets be sold. Pullman sleep
ing cars on evening train.
Round-trip rate, $1,000. Correspond
ingly low rates from other stations.

CAME TO GRIEF.
An Operator in Little Confidence Racket
Behind the Bars.

Behind the Bars.
The city papers have briefly referred
to the robbery of Isaac Bravermann, in
front of the Milwaukee saloon, Satur-
day night, but in only the briefest man
ner, it being esteemed best to await an
effort to capture the thieves.
Last evening few minutes after six
o'clock, while Mr.. Bravermann was
passing along Eleventh street, between
Chapline and Market, he saw the two
men who put up the job on him Satur-
day, and catching hold Of them he be-
gan to call loudly for assistance in Ger
man and broken English. A crowd be-
gan to collect, and one OF the men broke
away and ran down alley G, but Bray
ermann held to the other until Justice
George Ankle and officers Driller, Con-
rad, Watson and Herbert arrived on the
scene, when the prisoner was taken
into custody. He was identified as
Jack Forsythe, and Mr.. Bravermann
says he is the man who got his ten
dollars. The prisoner was taken
before Justice Ankle, who
committed him to jail in default OF bail
for an examination this evening. A
search was made for the fellow who
broke away, but he could not be found.
He is known, however, and a warrant
was issued for him.
Mr.. Bravermann says he came down
Market street Saturday evening, and
not being well acquainted, he stopped
in front of the Milwaukee, thinking 1t
was bank. He had his bank book in
his hand with ten dollars in 1t, intend
ing TO make deposit. As he stopped
in front of the saloon, one OF the two
men standing in front said: "Oh, the
banks closed, but I'll take your money
in and it will be all right" The fellow
took the money, went inside, and COM
ing out in moment, handed
the book back TO Bravermann.
The latter looked in the book, and
seeing there was no entry OF the de-
post, began to object in broken Eng.
lish. when the man who took the
money said the boss would fix 1t up all
right Monday, and directed him down
the little side alley to find 'the boss. "
Bravermann went down the alley, but
found no one, and when he came back
the two men were gone, and no one
could give him any explanation or sat
isfacton.
The two men engaged in this trick
belong to the class Of well dressed
losfers who live by their wits, and who
can be seen along Market street any
afternoon or evening. A short railroad
trip OF about twelve miles is what a
good many OF them would get, II they
had their deserts.

any time?"

any timer"
Witness refused to answer.
Mr.. Howard then asked that the case
against Elsie Gray be postponed and
that the Squire commit the witness TO
Jail for contempt of Court, which was
accordingly done, but not until she had
been examined in relation to the cases
of George Bennett and William Ken
| nedy.
Miss Stephens was then questioned
as to William Kennedy. Il have known
him two months, maybe longer. Was
with him one night, the same night l
first met Elsie Gray"
Howard-"Where were you?"
Wltness-I was up on a back street,
somewhere about Chapline or Thir-
teenth street
Howard-Did William Kennedy have
criminal intercourse with you?
Witness-Yes.
Howard-Where did this act occur?
Witness-On the street, or up In an
alley; ! don't know just the location.
Capt. Dovener-Was there anyone else
with you at that time?
Witness-Yes; fellow named Bob
PERCY.
(Dovener-Let's see; he's the same
fellow that was on the committee for
that ghost dance out at Elm Grove)?
Howard-Do you know George Ben
nett.
Witness-Yes; I was with him one
night. He had intercourse with me In
the back of Fischef's saloon. Met Ken
nedy first at Sulivan's saloon, and then
we went to Fischer's place. We had
two or three drinks together.
Jordan-Was there any bed in this
back room.
Witness-No. there was table and
two or three chairs.
Jordan-Couldn't you be mistaken as
to this party?
Witness-No, sir.
At this point George Bennett and
William Kennedy were examined. Both
corroborated the substance of the girls
testimony, but denied emphatically ever
having had criminal intercourse with
her.
Jordan ito Bennett)-Dld you ever
have improper relations with this girl.
Bennett-No, sir.
Mamie getting excited) -You did.
Bennett-We went into the saloon
and drank some beer, but bad no in
tercourse.
Mamie-You did, so.
Squire Arkle-This other witness will
have to keep quiet.
Benett-She asked me to go over to
-, and a rinly hnQr
Mamie-No. did not.
Squire Arkle-Keep quiet.
Officers Terrill and Lukens were then
called in, but as they admitted that all
they knew about the case was what the
girls told them, their testimony was not
taken.
SQUIRE Ankle said this habit Of fell
lows corrupting the morals OF young
girls in this city was growing to an
alarming extent, and it ought to be
stopped. He concluded that the evil
dence was sufficient to hold Bennett
and Kennedy, and they were bound
over to the next term of Court In the
sum of 500. Bonds were furnished.
Mamie Stephens persistently refused
to answer the question in regard to
Elsie Gray, even up to the last moment,
and despite the imploring of her aunt,
who almost cried to see her going to
jail. But Mamie faced jail complacent-
~. She went without murmur.
There is still a fourth party impli-
Gated in the case, for whom Col. Ar
nett appeared, and asked that the hear
ing be postponed until . o'clock this
afternoon, which was accordingly done.

ROYAL EATERS.

The Prince of Wales Has an Enormous
Appetite-The Gar a Good Second
Two of the heaviest eaters in Europe at
the present moment are the Czar of
Russia aud the Prince of Wales. The
number of their repasts and the amount
of food consumed at each of these are
enough to startle ordinary mortals. The
PIince of Wales, for instance. after first
light meal on arising, eats an enormous
breakfast, an equally copious luncheon
following at two O'Clock. At five or six
o'clock there is kind of tea. that is to
say it is tea ouly in name and resembles
far more the Russian prashnik, for it in
cludes cGUidre aud pate de foie grdS sand
wiches, smoked salmon aud all sorts of
what are falsely termed "appetlZers. 1t
| is, indeed, square meal, washed down
| by drink which is far stronger than tea.
| Between eight and nine O'Clock there fol-
lows dinner, and shortly after midnight
| the Prince is ready once more for very
| hearty supper.
Imagine an ordinary man undergoing
this series of meals every day during an
entire London season, and yet the Prince
brother-in-law, the Gar, is even still
heavier eater, in that he consumes
larger quantity of food at each meal. The
| late King Victor Emmanuel WAS noted
for his yoraclous appetite, which does not,
| however, appear TO have been inherited
by his son, King Humbert who is more
| moderate in his tastes. The present King
of Portugal is noted for his gluttony, and
| for his grossness in the matter of food,
the result being that, though still very
young, his girth of waist is absolutely
alarming

THE NEW CITY HALL.

Architect Broome's Specifications Nearly
Ready-Two Thousand Piles.
At next Thursdays session of the City
Hall Commissioners. Architect Broome
will probably present for adoption the
specifications under which the new City
Hall will be built.
Mr.. Broome's specifications, as pre-
pared, provide for substantial building.
They were to have been looked over by
tue City Hall Com missioners yesterday,
but the failure of Presidents Pearson and
Commissioner Datz to put in an appear
ance drevented this from bein g done.
Commissioner Burke has conferred
with Architect Broome and it has been
definitely settled that it wo uld be for the
best interests of the city to advertise for
b ids in whole and in part. 1t was origin
ally intended TO advertise for bids for the
mason work and piling combined, but a
re consideration of this plan has been
made. The masonry work will in itself
be q large item. as will also the piling
WORK.
MIR. Broome is exercising great care in
the construction of the foundation. Not
less than two thousand piles will be
driven and upon these will come a con-
crete, stone and brick foundation.
The Board, on the whole. prefers hav-
ing each branch of the work done by a
different man, believing fully that If such
a course Is pursued a more substantial
building will be the result. The specifi-
cations as prepared by Mr.. Broome will be
oDen for inspection.
