Five minutes afterward, Captain
Chester, all alone, had laboriously and
cautiously dragged the ladder from the
side to the rear of the cOloners house,
stretched it in the roadway where he
had first stumbled upon it, then return
ed to the searching party on No. 3.
"Send two men to put that ladder
back" he ordered. ut is where I told
you-on the road behind the colone's."

silent. Without a word he walked
straight into the quadrangle, past the
low line of stone buildings, the Offices
of the adjutant and quartermaster, the
home of the sergeant major, the club
and billiard room, past the long piazza
shaded row of bachelor quarters and
came upon the plank walk at the cor

There, dinlly visible against the south

His heart stood still. He seemed pow
erless to move, even to think. Then q
slight noise reused him, and with every
nerve tingling he crouched ready for q
spring. With quick, agile movements,
noiseless as a cat, sinuous and stealthy
as serpent, the dark figure Of man
issued from Alice Renwick's chamber
window and came gliding down.
One second more, and almost as noise

quickly turned and raised the ladder,
stepped with it to the edge of the road

CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION.
TUESDAY,

lCESDa1.
The convention reconvened Tuesday
night after recess Of three days.
There was barely more than quorum
present; but all the same the work was
resumed.
Mr.. Wells, of Greenville, introduced
an ordinance to postpone the next re-
gular session of the Legislature from
the fourth Tuesday in November. until
the second Tuesday in January. The
proposed ordinance was placed on the
calender and, it is understood, with
good chance Of passage.
Section Of the suffrage article was
so amended as to allow persons denied
the right of registration the right of
appeal to all courts.
Section 6 was so amended as to in
clude miscegenation among the long
list of crimes that will disquality from
voting.
On motion of w. D. Evans, the pro-
vision requiring that the two parties
casting the largest number of votes at
u previous election, shall have repre-
sentation on the board of managers,
was stricken out.
The balance Of the evening was
taken up in the consideration of the
suffrage article, and section II was
reached without any material changes.
WEDNESDAY.
The debate on the suffrage article
was continued, and the whole article
was adopted, practically as reported
by the committee. The most import
ant provision that has not already
been published, reads as follows:
Section 13. In authorizing a special
election in any incorporated town or city
for the purpose of bonding the same, the
general assembly shall prescribe condi-
ton precedent to the holding. OF said cleo
ton, a petition from the majority OF the
freeholders of such city or town, as shown
| by its tax books, and at such election, all
electors of such city or town, who are duly
qualified for voting under section j. OF
this article (requiring ownership of $500
worth of property and who have paid all
taxes, State, county and municipal, for
the pnvious year, shall he allowed to vote,
and ia majority of those voting i'll said
election, shall be necessary 10 authorize
the issue of said bonds.
The proposition to allow the coun-
ties 10 borrow the money necessary to
put them on cash basis was killed.
The balance of the day was consum-
ed in the discussion of the proposition
TO allow the State TO move criminal
cases from one county TO another, when
such action may be deemed necessary
to secure the ends of justice. No con-
clusion was reached on the proposition

upon the treacherous and entangling
rungs, and ere he could recover himself
the noiseless stranger had fairly whizzed
into space and vanished in the darkness
up the road. Chester sprang in pursuit.
He heard the startled challenge Of the
sentry and then Leary's excited Halt,
say! Halt" and then he shouted:
Fire on him, Leary! Bring him
down."
Bang! went the ready rifle with sharp,
sullen roar that woke the echoes across
the valley Bang! again as Leary sent
a second shot after the first Then as
the captain came painting to the spot
they followed up the road. No sign Of
the runner. Attracted by the shots, the
sergeant of the guard and one or two
men, lantern bearing, came running to
the scene. Excitedly they searched up
and down the road in mingled hope and
dread of finding the body Of the ma
rauder or some clew or trace Nothing!
Whoever he was, the feet runner had
vanished and made good his escape.
"Who could it have been, sir?" asked
the sergeant Of the officer Of the day.
"Surely none of the men ever come
round this way"
II don't know, sergeant; don't
know. Just take your lamp and see II
there is anything visible down there
among the rocks. He may have been hit
and leaped the wall. Do You think you
hit him, Leary?"
II can't say, sor. He came by me

at him, an-sure I niver saw such run

ter in low tone as the other men NOV

"Not his face, sor. Twas too dark
"Was there-did he look like any
body you knew or had seen-anybody
in the commando
"Well, sor, not among the men-that

"Leary, will you promise me some

II will, sor.'
"Say not one word Of this matter to
any one except tell you or you have to

II promise, sor.'
"And l believe you. Tell the sergeant
I will soon be back.
With that he turned and walked down
the road until once more he came to the
plank crossing and the passageway be-
tween the colonel's and bachelors row.
Here again he stopped short and waited
with bated breath and scarcely beating

- Foreign diplomats are trying to
embroil the United States in what is
known as the "far Eastern question"
The proposition is that great Britain,
Japan and the United States shall
form a coalition to prevent Russian
aggression in China. The argument
that is being used to interest this coun-
try is to the effect that if Russia Sc
cures complete control of China, the
United States will lose the lucrative
trade it is now enjoying with the lat
ter country. The policy for the Unit
ed States has for along time been to let
foreign quarrels along and as yet there
are no indications that she is going to
get mixed up in this one;

Atmospheric Fuel.

The possibility of carrying about
with him the means OF couDteracting
q tendency to become chilled, and a
stock of available fuel with which to
keep warm, does not seem to be recog.
nized by the average individual. But
that ore may by proper breathing
keep up comfortable temperature or
throw of chlllness in almost any de-
gree is fact well established by album
dant experiments. Almost every per-
son may beexposed to the cold at times
when there is no opportunity to pre-.
pare for it, and when there isno chance
to secure extra clothing. In such
cases it is only necessary to keep up
deep and rapid breathing. Fill the
lungs as full as possible at every in.
SEPARATION. If the air is very cold, it
is well to hold handkerchief lightly
before the nostrils, in order that the
sudden ingress of n large quantity of
cold air may not injure the lungs. The

way. Do not retain the air, but get
rid of it rs soon as possible. Two

ing. Within n few moments the blood
will begin to grow warm, the extremi-
ties will feel the glow, and soon the
entire surface will be at comfortable
temperature. If one wakens in The
night with "crcepy," cold feeling,
this is an excellent thing to do, and
will restore the circulation, and often
produce a desire to sleep
There is another advantage in deep
breathing that is far too little appre'
ciated. One of the most eminent
medical authorities declares that one
can by full, rapid and free breathing
eliminate almost all disease germs and
tendencies from the system.
Rapid breathing furnishes fuel by
means of which all waste matter OF the
system is consumed. The blood is
purified, the tissues are supplied with
necessary material, and the entire
body rapidly returns to healthy con-
ditions. New York Ledger.

from the buggy he noticed that the

welcome, for the front windows were
open and the blinds half raised.

He Knew the Boy,

This story is told OF Rudyard Kip
ling, as illustrating very clearly the
characteristics of the vigorous English
boy who was afterwards to achieve
such widespread fame with his pen.
When a boy of twelve, he went on a
voyage with his father, who, becoming
desperately sea-sick, retired to his
berth, leaving young Rudyard to his
own devices. Presently the poor
father heard tremendous commotion
over his head, and down the compan
ionway dashed the boatswain three
steps ut time, shouting excitedly,
"Mr. Kiplng, your boy has crawled
out on the yard-arm; if he ever lets
go he'll drown, sure" "Yes," said
Mr.. Kipling, falling back on his pill
low, with sigh of relief, "but he
won't let co." -Household Words.

Grin IL African Fever.

Up two flights of stairs under the
roof of double tenement house on

with the usual missionary reward-a

A TWILIGHT SONG.

When swallows fly
On wistful wings,
And the rose-aushed sky
The darkness brings
Sing shNdowy pines
or the saiI-wInged sGa,
And sing, o Day,
Thy memory,
When the snlt sea tide
Returns again
Der reaches wide
With It's sad refrain
Sing wailing tern,
The day forget,
To dreams return,
Leave old regret.
When ways to wander
Allure no more,
Stay, wind, TO ponder
bFSlue my uOor,
As some seashell
Sings of the sea.
With its deep swell
Sing thou to me.
When twilight falls,
And from afar
A love thrush calls
The first pale star,
Sing, wind, of the shadows,
Sing, wrath of the rain.
In the quiet meadows
TO me again.
