it was, he was already 30 yards behind
US and on the verge OF strangling when
we reached the brow of The slope.

Sure enough, there was no hurry. In
a more open part of the plateau we
could see the three survivors still run
ming in the same direction as they had
started, right for Mizzen mast Hill. We
were already between them and their
boats, and so we four sat down to
breathe, while Long John, mopping
his face. came slowly up with us.

You came in about the nick, I guess,

embarrassment. "And," he added, after
a long pause, chow do, Mr.. Silver! Pret-

The doctor sent back Gray for one
OF the pickaxes, deserted, in their flight,
by the mutineers; and then, as we pro-
ceeded leisurely downhill to where the
boats were lying, related in a few words
what had taken place. It was a story
that profoundly interested Silver, and
Ben Gum, the ha:f-idiot maroon, was
the hero from beginning to end.
Ben, in his long, lonely wanderings
about the island, had found the skele-

had found the treasure; he had dug

A LITTLE HEROINE,
The Courageous Act of a Young Span
ish Girl,
ITO DE cONTINUED.1

Ihe Courageous Act of a Young Span
ish Girl.
Baron Lejeune, who played conspic-
uous part at the siege of Saragossa dur
ing the Peninsular war, narrates in his
"Memoirs" a singular story of that ter
rible time, story that speaks equally
well for the chivalry of the soldiers of
France and for the courage of Spanish
girl.
There had been fearful carnage with
in the walls of the unfortunate city;
even the converts and monasteries were
reeking with evidences of warfare, and
the inhabitants of Saragoosa were in a
desperate plight.
A band of Polish soldiers, belonging
to the French army, had been sta toned
Gu guard at certain point, with orders
to fire upon any Spaniard who might
pass them. Suddenly girl of a about Is
years of age appeared among them.
A cry of warning was heard on every
side as she approached, but the child
seemed not to hear. She only con ntinued
to utter one ceaseless and piercing wall:
mia madre! mia madre!" as she hurried
from one group of dead and wounded
Spaniards to another.
II soon became evident that she was in
search of the body of her mother, and
the pale, agonized face of the child,
whose filial love had made her almost
insensible to danger, touched the SOL
diers' hearts with pity.
A moment later despairing CRY an
nounced that she had found that for
which she had risked her life. The
Polish guards watched her movements
with something like awe as she stopped
and tenderly wrapped the mutilated
form of the dead woman in cloak and
began to drag it away. Suddenly the
girl paused and seized heavy cartridge
box that lay in her path, with an energy
that seemed almost supernatural. Her
frail, delicate form swayed and stag
gered beneath the weight of her burden,
but she did not hesitate.
Athrill Of mingled horror and admira-
ton filled the astonished watchers as
they perceived that there, before their
very faces, shewas taking from them an
instrument for future vengeance upon
them.
The inhabitants of the besieged city
we're almost destitute of ammunition,
and the motherless daughter sought to
put into the hands of her countrymen
a means by which her wrongs might
be in some degree avenged.
But the strain was becoming almost
more than she could bear; she stumbled,
and cry of terror broke from her lips.
The Polish soldiers glanced from one to
another, and then, moved by a chiv-
alrous impulse, they lowered saber and
musket, as with one accord hundred
voices called out: "Do not be afraid lit
tie one! We will not hurt you'll"
And the Spanish maiden passed with
her grewsome burden between double
line of her country's foes, who made a
silent salute as she crossed their
boundaries and returned to her desolate
home.-Youth's Companion.

Old-Time Weather Indications.

The earliest weather vanes in New
England were cocks, trumpeters, simple
plates, disks and arrows, and, not to be
overlooked, the sacred Goldfish. In Bos-'
ton cocks or broad arrows were on all
the old churches. On the Province
house, where Gen. Gage had his head
quarters, there was a statue of an
Indian with drawn bow and arrow,
ready to shoot. Prints of the city of
New Amsterdam as it was in, the good
old Dutch days show the churches and

gilded cock or the plain arrow.-N.s =.

DR.. Hayes, Of Buffalo, N. Y, who is rapid
ly becoming known all over the civilized
world from his ability to cure Asthma so
that the sufferer stays cured, says that his
success where others fail is due largely to the
tact that he declines to use symptom drugs,
which merely suppress the symptoms and
leave the cause of the disease untouched, but
employs natural alternatives and tonics,
prove the assimilation Of the food, give the
patient better blood and more of it, out of
which to build up healthy body; and thus
by changing the very type of nutrition and
changing the, constitution, he removes the
cause OF the disease and cures to stay cured.

SAILING ORDERS
Issued to the Flying Squadron
When the Spanish Squadron
Started.

New York. April 3O.-A special to the
Herald from Washington says:
Immediately following the receipt of
official information, announcing the de-
parture of the Spanish fleet from ST.
Vincent, sailing orders were issued to
the flying squadron under the command
OF Commodore Schley.
These orders are the result of the dis
cussion by the naval war board of the
strategical considerations entering into
the departure of the Spanish men-of-
war.
Naturally, the greatest secrecy is OBJ
served to the destination of the fly
ing squadron, but it is generally con-
ceded that the probabilities point to an
immediate junction of the armored ves-
sells under Commodore Schley and those
commanded by Rear Admiral Sampson,
and the placing of this formidable force
at a central position, where they can
promptly resist any attack made by the
Spanish feet, either upon the American
coast or upon the blOckading squadron
surrounding Cuban ports.

$500 A DAY
To Feed the Troops-To Be Supplied
by Topeka Concerns.

William Green & Sons and the Chas.
Wolff Packing company have secured
the contracts for furnishing the Kansas
volunteers with provisions during their
stay in this city. The former firm will
furnish the groceries and the latter firm
the meat. The contracts were let today
by Capt Fred Buchan of Company B of
Kansas City, who was appointed acting
quartermaster.
The cost of rations for each man per
day will be 10 cents, or about $500 per
day for the three regiments of vo1un-
teerS.
The two firms will commence furnish
ing rations to Company A Of Topeka
and Company B of Kansas City today
and Tuesday supplies for Is more COM
panies will have to be provided. The
number of companies will increase from
three to six daily after Tuesday up to
Sunday, May 8, when it is expected that
the entire three regiments will be here.
A contract for 20 tons of straw has
also been let, Mr.. J. c. Sinner of this
city securing it. The straw will be sup
piled for Sc per ton. A large supply of
wood will also be used at the camp, but

The mobilization of the troops here
will mean a big expenditure in Topeka.
The three regiments will probably be

and besides the $500 per day paid out by
the government for provisions, the sol
