shame to the winds and struck.
IT'S an awful accident, she said,
with a Quiyer in her voice, land won't

The men saw the force Of that argu.

as they came near him.
"Naw," growled the man, lighting

no more about it. The matter Yves re-
ported 10 headquarters In the regular

The agent departed and the farmer
went on worrying about a trespass suit
that he was sure would be brought
against him. A few days later he re-
ceiyed a letter from headquarters, and
upon opening it with trembling hand
he discovered, not a summons for a
suit in trespass, but a check for $50

NINTH CONSECUTIVE VICTORY.

Putney, England, March 26.-The day
was overcast. with occasionally fine rain
falling, and cold sast wind blowing,
which raised the question rs to whether
the Oxford and Cambridge boat race
would not be POSTPONED. This gave riss
to earnest debates here. Boistsrous waves
were expected. especially In the upshel-
tered reaches OF the river.
The captains OF the crews and the
coaches held conference and decided, In
view OF the unfavorable conditions to
postpone the start until $3.50 .. IN.
Oxford won the toss, which, with the
prevailing Wind. was regarded a. assur-
ing them the race. The crews em barked
at $40 p. IN. and the two boats got away
at 3:4S.
At the Dukes Head, soon after the
stsrt, Cambridge was leading, and the
light blues were q quarter of length
ate ID of the dark blues at Clasper's boat
house.
At the crab tree. about one mile and a
quarter from the start Oxford was lead
ing by three lengths.
At the sosp works, one mile and three
quarters from the start Oxford was lead
ing by four lengths. which lead the dark
blues maintained while passing Hammer
smith bridge.
At the Doves, little over two miles
from the start, Oxford was still leading
by four lengths.
By that time GambFidRe- WAS pulling
short. At Chiswick Church. two miles
and three quarters from the start the
race had developed into procession, and
was regarded as a certainty for Oxford.
When 1horneycrofts works were
reached, three miles distant the dark
blues were leading by five lengths. At
Barnes bridge. three and two-thirds miles
from the start, Oxford was 45 seconds
ahead.
