Empress Elizabe.a of Austria has
been so seriously Ill at Cape Martin

connection with Crete was at an end,
hastened his departure, and proceed

France, where the Empress Is being

The Empress was unable to meet her
husband on his arrival, and has been
forced to abandon all those long walks

was veil up anu hrs eyes keenfJ on the

fire of excitement, and his fingers were

on the watch.
He turned suddenly from the avenue
and struck of through the myrtles

He had gone half-mile or so,when, all

his head, and gave the boot of an owl.

also from the rear. Something like O
panic ensued. Just as it was develop
ing itself very perceptibly there arose
that dreaded cry of ''Marion! Marion!
Marioni" aname that at that time never
failed to carry terror to the heart OF
even the brayest Britisher.
The soldiers were at once thrown
into confusion. 1t seemed to them
that they we're being closed in by the
enemy, and beyond q doubtby Marion's
whole army, for were not those cries
of ''Marionl Marionl Marionl" re-
sounding on all sides?
The eight men in the rear were the
first to break ranks and flee. By
making hasty detour of the woods to
the right of them they might yet reach
the fort in safety. The eight in front,
seeing their ranks thus weakened and
hearing the noises of the combined at
tacks increasing moment by moment,
also lost heart as well as courage and
turned IN pursuit of their companions.
Only the four about Colonel Rut-
ledge seemed determined to remain.
They now closed around their prison
er and for a moment or so showed stub
born fight. But the next moment,
there being rush on horseback from
the woods in two directions, it was
more than even their nerve could
stand. Wheeling their horses, they,
too, joined in the fight. But before
turning to flee two hands had sought
to grasp the colonel's bride reins and
to compel his horse to follow. But
the steed refused to obey.
As the soldiers fed the boy soldiers
emerged from their coverts, yelling
and firing.
Jethro was the first to reach Colonel
Rutledge. He did not wait to unite
his hands, for even then the fleeing
soldiers, having gained realization of
the true state of affairs, might be form
ing for return. He caught the horse
by the bride, and, followed by the
others, dashed back toward the woods.
When safely within shelter he turned

Bicycle Versus Cow.

A damage suit which is interesting to
cyclists has just been instituted by Edison
Mccormick, a bicyclist Of Monroe county.
n. Y, against Charles Topliffe, a farmer
of Brighton, n. Y. The bicyclist wants
81, 900 damages for injuries to himself and
his wheel, caused by collision with q
cow on the bicycle cinder path at Church
Vile. Farmer Topliffe sent his hired man
to bring home a COW. 1t being dark, the
man drove the COW on the bicycle path.
Mccormick, who was riding without a
light, ran into the COW. The latter was
frightened and tried to jump fence, the
hired man was knocked into the ditch, the
cyclist was hurt and his wheel was
wrecked. Mccormick says Topliffe is re-
sponsible for the violation Of tho law by
his hired man in driving a COW ON the
cycle path. Farmer Topliffe seys McCor-

and also the lamp ordinance, and has

THIS IS A KICK.
To the Daily Light:

To the Daily Light:
Allow me to say a few words about
the sewers and at the same time re-
mind our honorable mayor and city
council of the fact, that sewer money
is expended almost entirely and the
contractors are tearing mp streets
right along. Now would it not be a
better and wiser plan to bring all
streets in good condition before all
money is gone? The city cannot af-
ford to bring streets in good condition
when it is the duty of the contractors.
1t certainly is of more Importance to
the people to have streets in good con-
dition than to have a street or two
more supplied with sewers. Many of
the streets are in a horrible condition.
What has happened yesterday morn
ing July LIST on River avenue.
A small water pipe is busted and the
water leaked in the sewer ditch (said
sewers are laid and finished about
year ago). Think of this little water
making hole in the ground where the
sewers are about six feet deep and five
or six feet long. Were these sewers
laid in such careless manner or did
the sewer pipes give away. II the
work was done in the right way, moth
ing like that could happen. Anyway
it needs investigation.
Let our city council go to work and
stop the contractors from tearing up
any more streets, until they have every
street in good condition.
