CHAPTER XIV.

When Tradmos spoke the words of
warning, Thorndyke put his arm round
the princess and drew her after Trad

gloom. ". .'s.
"Wait," she said, drawing back.
Let us not get excited. We are really
as safe here as there, for in their mad
ness they will kill one another and
trample them underfoot." She led
him to parapet overlooking the great
court below. "Hear them,' she said in
pity. Listen to their blows and cries.
That was woman's voice, and some
man must have struck her." =.
"Ten me what is best to do, said
the Englishman. "I want to protect

Englishman thought she drew closer to
him, as if touched by his words.
There was crash of timbers-a mass

feet on the stone pavement, and they
could see the dark human mass surging
into the court through the corridors
leading from the streets.
What are they doing?" asked Thorn
dyke.
She shrank from the parapet as if she
had been struck.
Tearing the pillars down." she re-
piled, aghast. "This part of the palace
will fall. Oh, what can be done?"
There was grinding of stone upon
stone, mad yell from a hundred throats,
the crash of glass, and, with thunderous
sound, a colossal pillar fell to the earth.
The roof beneath the feet of the prin-
cess and Thorndyke trembled and sag
ged, and the thing split and showered
about them.
Raising Bernardino in his arms as
if she were an infant, Thorndyke sprang
toward the stairway leading to his
chambers, but the roof had sunken till
it was steep and slippery. One instant
he was topping over backward; the
next, by a mighty effort, he had recov-
cred his equilibrium and finally man
aged to reach safer place. AS he hur-

looked below. As far as the eye could
reach, within the arc of their vision,
they could see fitful lights flashing up
here snd there and going out again.
And then they heard faint sounds of
crashing masonry and the condensed
roar of human voices, which seemed to
come from above rather than from be-
low. The Alphian turned. 81 cannot

swinging sphere made him dizzy, and
he caught Branasko's arm to keep from
falling.
How can we tell when we go over
the wall?'' he asked anxiously.
"We shall have to guess at it," was
the answer. Sat any rate, we must be
near the lower door SO as to get out
quickly if it is necessary to do SO to es-
cape detection.
In the darkness they slowly made
their way down the stairs to the great
room.
'There ought to be some way of
making light said the Alphian, and
his voice sounded loud and hollow in
the empty chamber. After several fail
ures to find the stairs they descended to
the door they had entered. Branasko
opened it a little, and breeze came in.
They sat down on the stone, and after
awhile in sheer fatigue they fell asleep.
Hours passed. Branasko rose with a
start and shook Johnston.

SQUAW-MEN IN ALASKA.

At Lake Lebarge we met an English man who was taking his wife and three children for a trip to Five Finger Rap ids. His wife was a squaw, and her face, as were also those of the chill dren, was painted black. I never did find out the real reason the squaws have for painting their faces black. Some say it is because they think it makes them more beautiful, and still others claim that it is a preventive from the mosquitoes. We became quite friendly with this Englishman. He was taking his family to visit some of his wife's people. He had just receiv- ed news from England that the death of three people had made him heir to a noble title and quite an inheritance, but to enjoy it's possession, etc, of course he would have to return to England. "Of course" said I. "you are going at once" He looked around at his family and said: "Well, I could hardly take them with me, and I'm too fond of them to leave them here: so I think I'll stay here myself and let the other fellow enjoy my property over there" This was all said with a de- gree of pathos which was almost sub- lime, and yet I could not help pictur- ing to myself the sensation that that squaw wife would make at some recep- tion held among his titled friends if she were to enter au naturel. as we were looking at her then. I think something of the same thought must have passed through our friends mind, for hastily murmuring, What might have been,'' etc, he looked suspiciously like she'd ding few tears, bid us a hurried fare we'll and gathered his small family and belongings together and proceeded on his way. There are many white men in Alaska married to Indians. They call them squaw-men.-Leslies Week

PoLo NOTES OF INTEREST.

New Haven Defeats Hartford-Climbtng
 the Ladder Again-Now in Second Place
 Waterbury Looses the Williams Games
 Meeting of the Magnates-Changes in
 Schedule.
 The New Haven polo team are again getting back into their old champion ship form. Those who witnessed the last two games played at the rink are unanimous in their praises of the work put up by the team to a man. The good work was continued again at Hartford on Saturday night. when they defated the Capitol city team by three goals to two. The margin was nar- row one to be sure, but then consider ing the numerous defeats sustained on the Hartford rink it Is something to be grateful for. During the past week three of the strongest teams have fall en before the boys in blue, viz, New Britain the leaders, Meriden and Hart ford. While the New Haven team as a whole are deserving of praise for their work during the past week a special compliment ought to be paid to Jordan and Frank Gavitt for the capital de- fense. The latter on Friday night showed that he can put up a game at halfback with any of the men occupy ing that position in the league, while Jordan is in the opinion of all by far the best center in the league. Spen- cer and E. Gavitt more than sustained
 their reputation, while Mallory has
 shown decided improvement in the last two contests. Dawson so far has
 not yet had much opportunity to dis tinguish himself
 The games this week will be Walling- ford at Wallingford Monday night, Waterbury at New Haven Tuesday night, Waterbury at Waterbury We'd nesday night, and Meriden at Meriden Saturday night. It is to be hoped that New Haven will secure a majority of the games. From last weeks form they ought to.
 Great interest is being taken in the Waterbury game here on Tuesday
 night. So far Waterbury has been suc- cessful in landing a game at New Ha- ven and are coming here on Tuesday with the avoWed intention of securing
 another game. There is great de-
 mand for reserved seats for this game | and early application is necessary to prevent disappointment.
 | The league magnets at Wallingford | have finally decided to throw out the l protested Waterbury games. While this may seem hard to Waterbury, it
 was the only action that the managers | could take in the matter. The Water l bury management are wholly and sole | ly to blame. They persisted in playing "Dumpy," knowing full well that he | was under contract to play with New
 Haven, and if they did not know then ti was their duty to find out before he
 donned the uniform of the Tigers. The 1 action of the league will be lesson to
 all managers for the future.
 New Haven are now in second place and on the run after the leaders the | rooters will no doubt be out in full force on Tuesday and Friday nights to
 encourage them along.
 | CHANGES IN SCHEDULE. | Several changes were made at Sat | urday's meeting. New Haven was
 given another game with Wallingford
 to be played at New Haven March IT,
 One less game with Waterbury and | New Britain will be played by New | Haven.

had been taken and the point was rais-
 ed that the vote to allow the games to
 stand was not valid, as the minutes
 did not show it.
 President Harris thought the point was well taken, and after some discus- sion it was decided to let the six games remain protested. Application was made for franchise for Springfield, Mass, and it was voted to allow Jennings, manager of the Hartford team, to have the franchise,
 if at later meeting it is decided that 1t Is advisable to have Springfield in
 the league.
 Two changes were made in the sched-
 ule, as follows: February 22, New Brit
 ain to play at Waterbury in place of New Haven; February 2S, Waterbury to play at New Britain in place of New Haven. An extra game was added, Wallingford to play at New Haven on March 1T.

ege contlnue the same as formerly,

cese continue the same as formerly, viz:
 1. All the week days of Lent are fasting days of obligation on one meal only; custom, however, has authorized the use of slight collation. In the eve ming and a cup of tea or coffee, etc, in the morning. Though the fast also im- plies abstinence, yet by dispensation the use of flesh meat is allowed at all times on Sundays and at the principal meals on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thurs days and Saturdays, except the second and last Saturdays of Lent.
 g. The use of eggs, butter and cheese is permitted at the collation., provided the laws of quantity be observed.
 3, Besides lard, the fat rendered from any kind of meat may be used on any day in Lent, and on days of ab- stinence and fast days throughout the year.
 4. Flesh and fish are not allowed at the same meal, even on Sundays.
 5. Women pregnant or nursing, the sick, the aged and feeble, children un- der twenty-one years of age. and those whose employment is of a laborious or exhausting character, are excused from the obligation of fasting any may use flesh meat more than once on the days when it is allowed, but must ab- stain on Wednesdays, Fridays and the second and last Saturdays.
 6. By virtue of late indult of the Holy See, working people and their families are permitted the use of flesh meat on the days of Lent, except Fri day, Ash Wednesday and Wednesday and Saturday of holy week. This dis pensation, however, allows the use of meat but once a day to those who are obliged to fast.
 z. The faithful should be reminded that they enjoy these dispensations by the favor of the Holy See, and that even the use of meats on Saturdays throughout the year is not according to the common law of the church, but a relaxation of it's rigor, demanding on their part a corresponding increase of zeal and charity.
 The usual evening exercises of Lent consisting of the Rosary of the Blessed Virgin or Stations of the Cross, ser mon, and benediction of the blessed sacrament, are recommended. You will exert every effort to inspire your people with a penitential spirit | urging them to fly from sin and its oc- | casion, particularly to abstain from in l toxicating drink, and to consecrate this | holy season to prayer, charity, works of piety and the Augmentation of the sacraments, without which the observ. ance of the fast would be of little profit

Episcopal Residence.

Hartford, Conn.,, Feb 13, 1898. Reverend Dear Sir:
 In obedience to a decree (No. 243) of the third plenary council of Baltimore, a collection will be taken up in all the churches of this diocese on the first Sunday in Lent.
 Its object iS to succour the Catholic missions among the Indians and color ed people of the United States, as well as to aid in its good work the Society of the Propagation of the Faith, to whose generous and timely donations those who are laboring to spread the Catholic faith in the less prosperous districts of our own country are in no small measure indebted,
 It is opportune to note that our gov ernment has, in great part, withdrawn its accustomed appropriation for the Catholic missions among the Indians, so that they are now all but entirely dependent on the charity of the faith full.
 Moreover, the holy father has warm ly approved the resolution recently adopted by the most reverend arch bishops to establish the Society of the Propagation of the Faith in the United States on better and wider basis. Accordingly we earnestly commend this project to your energy and zeal and the charity of the faithful. It is especially noteworthy that, since its establish ment in France, this society has sent more than S5,400,000 to help the mis- sions of the United States, and that fact alone ought to entitle it to the generous support of the Catholics of this country.
 We therefore trust to your zeal and to the liberality of your people for the success of this collection, and we pray God to bless you and all those who may aid you in this charitable work. Meantime I remain, with sincere af- lection,
