upon his attention in spite of his de-

closing around him, and SO was glad TO
come to a farmhouse that looked better

jected than John Kenyon lived in the
broad Dominion of Canada he was, in
deed, q person to be pitied. After hav-
ing stnt his cablegram to Wentworth
he went to his very cherries ho<el, and
next morning when he woke up he knew
that Wentworth would have received
that message. but that the chances were
ten thousand to one that he could not
get the money in time, even II he could
get II at all. Still he resolved TO stay in
Ottawa, much as he detested the place,
until the hour Of option expired. Then,
he thought, he would look around
among the mines, and zee II he could not
get something to do in the management
Of one Of them. This would enable him
to make some money and to help pay
OF the Indebtedness which he and
Wentworth would owe In London ~ =

As soon as lunch WINS over Miss Long

"No news yet" he said.
This Is terrible" she answered
Suppose he has left Ottawa and start

II do not think he would do thnt.
Still, / imagine he would think there
was no reason for staying in Ottawa.
Nevertheless, 1 know Kenyon well
enough to believe that he will wait
there till the last minute of the option
has expired in the hope that something
may happen. He knows, of course, that

pectation that shall be able to accom-

worth. "Now shall cable that we hnvc
the money and tell him TO identify him
self at the bank, SO that there will be no
formalities about the drawing Of II to
detain him." Saying this, Wentworth
pulled the telegram forms toward him,
and after considerable labor managed
to concoct . dispatch that seemed to
satisfy him.
Don't spare money on IT," said the
young lady. BE sure and make IL
plain to him."
II think that will do: don't your

the dispatch, "that will do"
"Now," she said, "here is the check

necessary to cable the money, or had

everything is all right?"
'If you don't mind, Just sit where
you are. You may lock the door, IL you
like and you will not be disturbed"
II wns IN hour before Wentworth re-
turned. but his face was radiant. "wc

Horrible Cruelty.

Havana, April i.-Never in modern
times has there been a more slcken-
ing spectacle than that which to-day at
tended the execution OF five Cubans.
The men had been condemned to deatn
NV the garrote as "murderers, vlolators
and incendiaries.' Troops were drawn
I'D in hollow square and in the middle
were placed the chair and post.
Ruiz, the public eXeCutioner, depu-
tized an assistant to conduct the at
fair. The condemned men, having re-
ceived the offices Of the church, were
brought into the square to meet their
fate. One of them had confessed his
guilt and confirmed the innocence OF all
others. who also protested that they
were guiltless.
The first man to die took his seat
in the chair calmly; the iron collar was
fixed about his neck and the cap drawn
over his face. Then the eXecutioner
undertook to apply the screw, but was
so excited that his hand slipped re-
peatedly, with the result that the VIC
tim died by slow strangulation, emit
ting the while the most distressed
cries.
The second execution was accom-
plishcd with even more distressing
awkwardness and delay, the execution
er being almost on the verge OF col
lapse as he performed his horrible tunc
ton.
The protests of the officers and the
priests forced Ruiz to undertake tn
third execution, but he did little bet
ter than his assistant had done.
The fourth victim Of bungllng gar
rioters was likewise tortured and thel
, Ruiz literally fed from his post, leav
, ing to his assist ants to put to dealt
the fifth Of thet unfortunate CubanG
. who escaped none of the agonizing eX
, periences that. had attended the execu
> ton of his fellows.
The whole affair left upon those VIII
q witnessed it and to those to whom
4 has been described a feeling Of the III
q most horror.
