after some talk with his lieutenant who
lay groaning near the fire, they both nod
ded their heads and looked across at me.
He then said some few words to the band,
who clapped their hands and laughed up
roariously. Things looked ominous, and I
was delighted to feel that my hands were
80 far free that I could easily slip them
through the cords If I wished. But with
my ankles I feared that could do moth
ing, for when I strained it brought such
pain into my lance wound that I had to
gnaw my mustache to keep from crying
out. I could only lie still, half free and half
bound, and see what turn things were
likely to take.
For a little I could not see what they
were after. One of the rascals climbed up
to the top of a well-grown fir tree up on
one side of the glade, and tied a rope
around the top of the trunk. He then fast
ened another rope in the same fashion to
a similar tree on the other side. The two
loose ends were now dangling down, and l
waited with some curiosity and just little

From Life.
An English tourist arrived in an Irish
town. where a man was about to be hung
for shooting his landlord. Ignorant Of the
cause of the gathering he questioned one
of the peasants.
Englishman-"What is going on today,

Peasant-"They're goin' t'hang. a man,

Englishman-"What is he going to be
hanged for?"
Peasant-"Just for bit NV a joke, sor"

Absurd! What did he do?''

I answered that my acquaintance with
the Spanish language was so limited that
l was unable to oblige him.
1T is a very rich language" said he
but less prolific in rhymes than either
the German or the English. That is why
our best work has been done in blank
verse, form of literature which, as l
need not remind Frenchman, is capable
of reaching great heights But 1 fear that
such subjects are somewhat outside the
range of hussar."
1 was about to answer that if they were
good enough for a guerrilla they could not
be too much for the light cavalry, but he
was already STOPPING over his half-finished
verse. Presently he threw down tine pen
with an exclamation of satisfaction and
acclaimed few lines, which drew cry
of approval from the three ruffians who
held me. His broad face blushed like a

trepidation to see what they would do
next. The whole band pulled upon one Of
the ropes until they had bent the strong
young tree down into semi-circle and they
then fastened 1t to stump, SO as to hold
1t 30. When they had bent the other tree
down in a similar fashion, the two sum-
mits were within few feet of each other,
though, as you understand, they would
each spring back to their original position
the instant that they were released. I al
ready saw the diabolical plan which those
miscreants had formed.

colonel" said the chief. coming toward me,
with his hateful smile.
IF you will have the kindness to loosen
these cords" answered, II will show you
how strong I am
1--WE were all interested to see whether
you were as strong as these two young
saplings." said he. 1T is our intention,
you see, to tie one end Of each rope round
your ankles and then let the trees go. If
you are stronger than the trees, then, of
course, no harm would be done If, on
the other hand, the trees are stronger than
you-why, in that case, colonel, we may
have souvenir Of you upon each side Of
our little glade" He laughed as he spoke,
and at the sight of it the whole forty of
them laughed also. Even now, If I am in
my darker humor, If I have a touch of
my old Lithuanian ague, I see in my sleep
that ring of dark savage faces with their
cruel eyes and the freight flashing upon
their strong white teeth

Despair.

Triumphant Hope once made his dome
Within my heart, Ambitions home,
Where Promise to my soul conveyed
Success in what Desire essayed.
But roses fade, aromas die,
And Day sinks of when Night says "fyr'
Misfortune came and babe me roam,
Like drifting bubbles sea-foam,
From wales of want to hills of care,
And buffet sorrow and despair,
Till Life would yield its cross of breath
And find relief in silent death,
Where Disappointment enters not
And Care may die and be forgot
o weary body, would give
Thy burden up and freely live!

FORTY-EIGHTH. AND A SUCCESS.
Georgetown Orchestra Concert at Mctze

Georgetown Orchestra Concern at Mctze-
rott Hall-Large Audience.
Forty-seven successful concerts heretofore
given by the Georgetown Orchestra were an
assurance that the concert given by that we'll
equipped organization last night at Metzerott
Hall would have attracted there conspicu-
ously large assemblage. Such certainly was
the fact, all the seats and boxes being occu-
pied.
The numbers for the orchestra were by
BZet, Verdi. Nesvadba, Gillet List. and
Laeome. The audience heard an overture
entitled May by a. \. Wight. played for
the first time in America. The orchestra was
heard perhaps to best advantage in the four
''Airs de Ballet" by Lacome. which fur
nished ample opportunity for various styles
of rendition. The "Poiacca" was particu-
Iarly fine The orchestra was under the per-
feet control of the director Herman c. Rake
mann.
Mrs Thomas e. Noyes sang with orches-
tral accompaniment a scene from .'Ernani, -
and For All Eternity" by Maseheroni. Mrs.
Noyes' finished capabilities IL the lyric and
parlor STYLES are quite we'll and apprecia-
lively known in Washington. Mr.. John Por-
ter Lawrence played Liszt's Hungarian Fan
tasie' on the piano. with orchestral accom-
paniment. Mr.. Rudolph Green played
"Passe- Pied" cello solo. and Miss Cluss
PLAYED the harp i'll the orchestra.

When Edward Gilbert went to his home,
No. G street southwest. last night, he found
Edgar Mexley snugly ensconced there. while
Mrs. Gilbert, the wife OF Edward, was
smoothing his forehead with eau de cologne
from bottle he had given her as Christ
mas gift.
Moxley had gone asleep under the soothing
influence of the perfume, and Mrs. Hester
Peterson, mother-in-law of Gilbert, eDdeav-
ored TO arouse the sleeping Moxley when she
heard the husbands footballs on the steps.
The irate Gilbert however, suspecting
something wrong, hurried up stairs, and find
ing man in his bed. picked up large jar of
preserves and smashed it in his face, cutting
If terribly. Gilbert then seized the half clad
Moxley and hurled him down stairs.
The preserves flew in every direction. a
large quantity of it going on the mother-in-
laws dress She thereupon swore out war
rant for Gilbert's arrest, and he was locked
up at No. 4 station by Policeman Ais.
After being thrown down stairs Moxley fed
through the chilly night air. leaving his
clothing behind. Gilbert says he will make
this episode the basis for divorce proceedings

posed Issue of Bonds.
The Fedora tion of Labor of the District has
come out squarely in opposition to the pro-
posed issue OF District bonds for the extern
sion of streets aud sewers, and with it is al
lied District Assembly 66, K. OF L. At the
last meeting OF the organization first named,
resolutions strongly condemratory OF the
measure now before Congress were adopted,
which were as follows:
Whereas. There is pending before Con-
gress bill (H. r. 7677) providing for an
elaborate system OF street and sewerage ex-
tention involving an expenditure OF 81, ,500.-
600. for which an issue of bonds is proposed,
thereby increasing the District debt to sum
in excess OF S25.000, coo, the Federation OF
Labor declares as its Judgment:
That said bill is the most infamous one that
has been brought TO the consideration of
Congress and the attention OF the people OF
the District since the present form OF gov
ernment was inaugurated.
That it violates the plighted faith OF the
United States which guaranteed upon the part
OF ths national government one-haif of the
