CHAPTER XIV.
ARRESTED FOR BIGAMY.

The Island of Don Jarra lay about a
mile beyond the group commonly
known as the Keys. Strictly speaking it
belonged to that group, but owingto it's
distance from the others, it was not.
ordinarily, considered as one of them.
The hustle, confusion and activity char
acteristic of it's sister isles was, here,
totally unknown. Serenely it rested
upon the bosom of the deep-not a bar
rem sandbar or a miniature Sahara, as
might be supposed from the remarks
Of Senior Don Luis, but, on the con-
trary, a veritable Garden Of Ellen
Here hOurished the banana in luxuriant
abundance, as well as the orange, pine
apple, fig and various other fruits Pc
culiar to the tropics. From every
bough hung the sustaining elements of
life and vitality. OIe had only to
lift the hand to pluck the lucious deli
~cacies, or shake a bough to find a
shower Of the golden fruit at his feet.
Long years ago this island had been
the home of monks. Upon it's eastern
shore are still to be found traces of the
ancient monastry. Years passed by
and after awhile the island fell into the
hands of Count Don Jarra, a retired
pirate and sea robber. The Monastry
was raized to the ground and the stones
used in the construction sof a palatial
abode. Here for years lived the sea
lion, surrounded by his lawless band,
enjoying to the utmost his i'll gotten
gain. Many a dark crime was traced
TO his door, but none dared to en-
ter the domains of the Sea Lion" and
justice was cheated of it's reward.
Twas said that in the dungeon of his
palace he slew his own daughter, be-
cause she had pledged herself to mar
ry the son of his most bitter enemy
and refused to relinquish that vow.
He was redited with the perpetration of
other crimes equally as heinous. but
unmolested he lived to a'ripe old age,
and finally died. The property then
went TO his brother, and after his death

Il do, my father, I not only accuse
him, but can prOUe my accusation"
He then repeated the conversation
that he had overheard on the wharf
between Hugh Caravan and Senior Don
Luis, and gave the import of his in,
vestigation thereafter. At the conclu,
sion of his narrative, both gentlemen
dropped into their seats. In q tremb
ling voice, the m~ountaineer said:
II have often thought God unjust
when He removed from this earth her
angel mother, in the early days of her
childhood. But now I see the wisdom
of the Advise God in taking her from
this world of Elm and sorrow. It was
to saw her from this dep humiliation

ter was a wife-G 1UJe IN name onzy!'
The strong man bowed his head and
wept like a child.
Mr.. Clankton rose from his seat and
crossed the room to where the grief
stricken man sat. Gently resting his
hand upon his shoulder, he said:
Earth has no sorrow that heaven cannot
heal

have formed a stock company and
opened up the richest vein Of gold in
Western North Carolina. Three weeks
went by, and then the fourth passed
without bringing them or a single word
regarding them or their movements or
whereabouts. 7 then became uneasy,
but would not have thought anything
seriously the matter, had / not, purely
by chance, discovered that the gold
that Caravan had helped me to con
ceal was gone, and taken by him. But
not until I came here, could I conceive
why he should have robbed me Of that
which would one day be his, increased
g hundred fold. I now know all.
Imagine my surprise-my horror-the
deepest humiliation that man was ever
subjected to-when I learned, only a
few minutes ago, that my daughter
a being as pure and as innocent as a
newborn babe-was not the lawful
wife of this man-this fend In human
shape!'
Haswell paused for a moment. His
form shook with an an emotion he
could not control.
Turning to his son, Mr. Clankton
said:
Now that you have heard this gen
tleman's story, what do you think of
it. nv son2 I have tried to persuade
him that he is mistaken regarding Car
avan; that some person, perhaps, re
sembling him and acquainted with his
history, must have assumed his name
and passed himself eff as Hugh Cara
van, of Island Home. The boy has
been absent, it is true, fer some time,
but then, I cannot believe him the per
petrator of this viliianous act. Yes,
the gentleman must be mistaken"
'.Not at all, my dear father; Mr.. Has
wells words are only too truel"
Both gentlemen sprang to their feet
as though a thunder bolt had fallen In
their midst. Mr.. Clankton was the
first to break the silence.
"What" he cried; DO l hear you
aright9 DO goa. too, accuse Cor909"
of this aufuL crime-the crime OF 0'9-
Gmy?"

CHAPTER XIII.

HASWELL STATEMENT CONFIRMED.
Charlie lvey acknowledged the intro
ductlOn and shook hands with the gen
tleman from Western North Carolina,
lnWardly wondering who Haswell was
and what could be the business that
had brought him to his home. He
was not long to remain in ignorance,
however, for he had scarcely seated
himself when his reverend father
said:
Charlie, my boy, I am glad you have
come. I vas lst wishing for you
when you entered the door. You could
not have arrived at a more opportune
time. Mr.. HasWell here brings us
wonderful news and prefers serious
charges against Hugh Caravan"
Indeed father; and what are the
charges7" he esked, more interested
than his words or the tone of his voice
would imply. Gle, too, had charges
to bring against the sam9 gentleman.)
In reply the reverend gentleman
turned to Mr. Haswell. Please repeat
to my SOL what you have just told me-"
he said; ''he, too. is very deeply inter
ested in this matter"
The gentleman addressed raised his
head from his hands, and with a voice
fraught with emotion, related infinitely
every detail regarding Caravans stay
at his home-from the day that he
saved his daughters life up to the day
that he married her and departed (pre
sumably) on his bridal tour.
They were to have been gone three
weeks" continued Haswell, and on
their return, Caravan, a couple Of
other gentlemen and myself were to

ANOTHER n. r. TUNNEL PLAN
Hoard Falis Back On the Elm street Route
Which Itaetr Has Discredited.

The moribund Rapid Transit Railroad Com
mission which was stunned n while ago by tho
rejection of Its S55. .0000 600 scheme for hole IN
the ground up Broadway, seems to think 1t IS
still alive. and IL was announced yesterday that
Engineer William Barclay Parsons was about
TO put before IL q preliminary draft OF new
plans. 1t has been known for some timo That
MIR. Parsons was boring holes in the streets
above the City Hall between Broadway and
Park row, and that the new scheme OF the RAPID
Transit people was to try and get II lot of the
city's money to spend by pushing through
tunnel road In that neghborhood.
Secretary Lewis l.. DeaHeld has not been able
recently to get together Il quorum OF the Com
mission, but he said yesterday that he eK-
prcted to succeed pext Thursday, and that at
that meeting Mr.. Parsons would submit an
informal report upon new underground route.
This. Mr. Delaneld said. would treat of a route
new Elm street, Lafayette place, and Fourth
avenue to Forty-second street. where IL is to
divide into two branches. one for the east side
and one for the west side. The east side route
will be up Park avenue to l06th street, aud
from there TO the Harlem River through private
property. The west side route will be west
under Forty second street to Broadway, and
then north to place net yet determined:
new pao Win have fSur nd HSov. that
there will be two tracks on each of the branches.
Mr.. Parsons's preliminary estimate OF tue cost
engineers will probably come no nearer agree
ing with him In this than they did whon his
Broadway scheme was under fire. They figured
up about double his estimates upon that schema.
Peraons who are familiar with the whole his
tory OF the Rapid Transit RAILWAY Commis-
sion's work lind 1t impossible to understand
why any more schemes for absurd underground
railroads should be evolved by them and their
engineer.
The Commission put its entire credit at stake
in urging the acceptance of the Broadway route
upon the Supreme Court, and IL is upon record
r, Alexander l.,
President OF the Commission, and OF Mr. Par
sons that no smaller scheme than the one they
then presented would be adequate to the needs
OF the people, and that 1t would be impossible to
get any one to take contract to build and oper-
ate a road which did not run up Broadway from
the Battery. They declared under oath that
they had already considered the route which
Mr.. Delafed says is now TO be discussed, and
had decided that q railroad under 1t could not
be made to pay.

HAVANA, Oct. TO- via Tampa, Fla, Oct 15.-I
am preparing an account OF the last fights In
Pinar del Rio, gathered from information re-
ceived here. or course, 1t must be understood
that the reports are from Spanish sources and
must be taken with grain OF salt. 1t is a pity
that no American correspondents witnessed
the engagements to report the Cuban side OF
them. Everybody must rely on the reports of
supposed eyewitnesses or the testimony OF the
Spanish officers, Who are not celebrated for
their veracity. The main facts are about these:
Maceo left the hills with about 1000 or 5000
men to meet an expedition which had landed on
the extreme point of the island, somewhere
about Dimas. This expedition was fitted out in
France. with funds collected In France, and was
commanded by n well-known Havana lawyer
named Fernado Freire y Andrade, who brought
with him other wel-known young men such as
Emilio Lafourcade. Hector Saavedra, Francisco
Penalver. son of the Count of Pcnalver, and
other persons we'll known in Havana and Paris.
The supplies which he brought are said to have
been in larger quantity than any other filibus-
tering expedition has brought, and consisted of
about 5000 rifles. 100000 cartridges 5000
blankets and waterproofs, two or three can
non. dynamite. medicines. &c.
Gen. weyler. being informed Of the landing
and that Maceo had sent forces to convoy the
expedition to the bills, sent five columns in
combination to intercept his forces. As re-
suit OF this combination there occurred five
successive engagements. IN which the Spaninrds
are said to have had over 800 losses without
obtaining their coveted object. since Maceo is
now reported to have reached the hills in safety
without losing q single pack mule OF the convoy.
In all these engagements Maceo has evidently
outgeneraled all his foes and has demonstrated
his great capacity rs a military leader and his
remarkable skin and courage. Maceo, having
succeeded in reaching hts mountain strong
holds with the powerful reunforcements he has
now obtained, 1t can be safely pred cted that it
will be utterly impossible for the Spaniards to
dislodge him. it would require nearly l0O,-
600 men for that purpose. according to the
opinion OF well informed and impartial per-
sons. There is no doubt tha. he has sustained
great losses. but every body believes that they
are much smaller than those of the Spauards.
Calixto Garcia, with $500 men and four
pieces OF artillery, left the Bayamo district re-
Gently in the direction of CamaGuey. He is be-
lteved now to be in tnat province to join Gomez.
His ultimate purpose Is unknown.
