CHAPTER XVIII.
A STRANGE MEETING.

N cihANbE mEEllNt
Ratigan was SO exhausted as to be
only able to give Maynard few de-
tached sentences, conveying some idea
as to what he had accomplished. There
was little that it was essential should
be told except that Colonel Fitz Hugh
would meet him between the lines as
soon as he could get there. Casting a
glance at his watch, Maynard noticed
that it was 20 minutes to l2. The dis
tance to the point Of rendezvous, as near
as they could estimate it, was two miles.
Every minute was precious. 1t would
be midnight before they could meet, and
then they would only have about six
hours in which to take measures to Sc
cure "a reprieve. They could only do so
by communicating with general head
quarters, some / 5 miles away. In any
event the case was desperate. However,
Maynard had been used in his scouting
days TO sudden transitions and had him
self escaped from prison on the very
night before his intended execution.
Calling his striker, he bade him saddle

The formation OF the Rhode Island I'm
provement Association has given new
impetus 10 improvement societies in the
several towns OF the state. Quite num-
Der of new ones have been formed and
some @. d ones have been quickened into
renewed life.
The usefulness OF these bodies for carry
ing forward the work OF village improve

maintenance should commend them to

The revival movement began nj the

awakening much religious enthusiasm
and promises good results-for which the

II is TO be hoped that SOME steps will be
taken before the spring opens TO clear

Look out for the doors and windows.
A few nights ago a man was seen climb
ing in at the window OF Mr.. Thomas
Arnold's house. Upon being spoken to
by officer Nichols he took TO his heels

south. After the last sentence spoken by
Fitz Hugh there was long silence.
They had met for a purpose. Their meet
ing was failure.
1t seemed to both that they could hear
their watches ticking away the seconds
that lay between Caroline Fitz Hugh
and death. Neither knew the agony
suffered by the other unless he judged
that other by himself Neither had the
heart to terminate the interview, though
both knew that it was fruitless. A night
bird set up dismal cry. 1t seemed a
deathknell.
Then Maynard broke the silence.
Colonel, he said in set voice, "re-
main here or meet me here at any time
after an hour. 1t may be the small hours
Of the morning 1t will be, if at all, be-
fore sunrise.
"What do you propose to dor"
"What / propose to do neither You
nor your sister shall know till il has
been accomplished.
II will remain here or near by, and
at 1 o'clock you will find me where /
now am"
"Adieu," cried Maynard as he turn
ed his horses head and galloped away.
"Adieu, replied Fitz Hugh in the
stately tone TO which he was accustom-
ed, and raised his hat as politely as if
be were saluting in ballroom.
Fitz Hugh rejoined his companion
and rode away in the direction of Rim
gold, and Maynard, followed by Rati-
gan, started back toward their camp.
Maynard's brain was in fever Time
had been expended to no gain. The
small hours were coming on, and only
six of them would pass before the event
he so much dreaded would take place.
He had formed his resolve. Whether
wise or foolish. right or wrong, practi-
cal or impossible his resolution was
taken. Once determined upon his course
he spurred his horse on without thought
Of obstacle. Turning from the rough
ground ON which he rode, he was about
to take the road, on which he might get
ON faster, when he was suddenly star
tied by the firing of bullet and the
sound that came with il. The shot rang
close to his ear, almost brushing his
temple.
Knowing that he had by his careless
ness suddenly come upon Union We
detto he called out:
''Cease firingl FriendsW
In answer to call to advance Ratigan
rode forward and found vedette, who
had mistaken them for an enemy. On
making themselves known they were
suffered to pass on, and Maynard, feel.

During this dialogue each man sat on
his horse without any movement and
spoke in measured, formal, automatic
tones. Maynard's words were quicker
than Fitz Hugh's who held to the slow

Rose Coghlan In Diplomacy at Prov.-
dence Opera House.

Perhaps II was unfortunate that the ac-
complished actress, Rose Coghiin, did not
open her brief engagement at the Provi-
dence Opera House last evening IN some
other play than diplomacy" then the
disappointment OF a good many visitors
TO the theater would have been somewhat
less, remem bering the remarkable per-
iormance OF the same play on previous
visit OF his star.
Last evenings performance, 1t must be
admitted, suffered in comparison. Di-
plomacy is just the sort OF play for a
strong stock company, IL has several
star parts and each must be
in skillful hands else the fabric
viii appear shaky. That was the
trouble last evening. couple OF pivotal
parts were rather woodeny, and they
marred the performances 30 much that the
p. easure derived from those competent 10
compass the work In hand was bandi-
capped.
Miss Cog herself was, as OF yore, a
strong central figure, forceful, reposeIul
and graceful, and her rather limited share
OF the text was enjoyed thoroughly. Mr..
sullivan was also satisfactory and the
Baron Stein of Mr.. Shannon was excellent.
THIS evening the pleasure of seeing
Miss Coghian in "Nemesis," new play,
will be afforded and patrons may be
assured of seeing an accomplished actress
I'm strong role. Tomorrow afternoon
the powerful play "Forget- Me- Not" will
be seen and in the evening diplomacy"
will be repeated.

Lothrop's Opera House.

The change OF bill from "Ranch King"
to Libby Prison." al Lothrop's Opera
House yesterday, was relished by
large audiences. Stories OF the great
rebellion are growing in popularity every
day, therefore 1t is quite natural that a
great deal of interest should center in the
presentation of a play having for it's
theme the most famous spot in all
the war. Libby Prison to this country
stands In almost relative position 10 the
Frenchman's Bastile, and its mere mem
tion coRjures the drama of real life,
where danger, suffering, heroism and
hope sustained the untortunales within
the famous war prison.
Joseph ID. Clinton played Walter Rich
land with fair eegrse OF ability and
Miss June Agnott was vivacions in an in

The other mebers of the cast did their
work well and the play was enjoyable.
