checoul. it would al least be more feas-
ible enterprise to attack the fortress dur
ing the absence of it's master and his men
Alone among the three Scots Malise
faced their predicament with some phil
osophy. Sholto ate his heart out with I'M
certainty as to the fate of his sweetheart.
The Lord James chafed at the compulsory
confinement ah@ at the consistent i'll sue
cess which had pursued them. But Malise,
unwearied of limb and ironic of mood as
ever, fished upon the flats for brown spot
ted founders. and at the rocky points for
white fish, often remaining at his task till
far into the night. IaHe constructed snares
with a mechanical ingenuity far beyond his
age. And what was worth more to the
up the spirits of Sholto and of Lord James
Douglas, both by his. brave heart and merry
speech and still more by constantly find
ing them something to do.
At the hour of even, one day after they
had been a fortnight in the country of
Retz. the three Scots were sitting moodily
on little hillock which concealed the en-
trance to their cave. The forest lay behind
them, an impenetrable wall of dense under
growth, crowned along the distant horizon
by the solemn domes of the green stone
pines. 1t c,rcumvented them on all sides
save only in front, where through several
beaker-shaped breaks in the high sand
dunes they could catch a glimpse of the
sea. The Atlantic appeared to fill these
clefts half full as a Venice goblet out of
which the purple wine is half drained. To
right anu feIt tiit pines grew oCdHtiei- ~
that the rays of the sunset shone red as
molten metal upon their stems and made
a network of alternate gold and black be-
hind them.
The three sat thus a long time without
speech, only looking up from their tasks
to let their eyes rest wistfully for mo-
ment upon the deep and changeful anne
thyst of the sea, and then with light
sigh going back to the cleaning of their
armor or the shaping of bow.
II CHANGED that for several minutes no
sound was heard except those connected
with their labor, the low whistle with
which the Lord James accompanied his
polishing, the wisp-wisp of Malises arms
as he sewed the double thread back and
forth through a rent in his leathern jacket
and the rasp of Sholto's file as he carved
out the finals of the bow. the notched

Newspapers resort to all sorts OF
tricks, to catch on to popularity.
All sorts of fiction is manufactured
for this very purpose-even at the
risk of being called unreliable. One
Illustration of this is the story sent

he will retire, and that "at a re-
cent conference he expressed con-
viction that it would be best to de-

A few days since negro barber
at Stephens, Ark, by the name OF
Sam Wilson eloped with a young
negro girl, promising to marry her,
although he had a living wife. On
being captured and returned there,
the enraged colored men soon made
it up to lynch him, and did pull him
up at the end of a rope, but two
courageous white men cut him down
before life was extinct. As the Ar
kansas Democrat well says the ne
gro is great on initiating the whites,
and this attempt at lynch law shows
it up. While the barber deserved
such punishment, we have laws to
punish the criminal, and these laws
should be promptly enforced. While
on this subject, it is pertinent to
say that the Arkansas Democrat
also shows that not one-third of the
cases of lynch law in Arkansas dur
ing the past eighteen months, were
for rape-so that the cry that this
heiuous crime is the cause of so
much lynching, is not true, Lynch
law will not do-tends to anarchy
then let us do all in our power to
stop it.

Jones today vetoed an ordinance

agreed to put in a system in oppo-
sition to that of the Missouri and
Kansas Telephone company, 70
charge very much lower rates, and
to pay the city three per cent of its
receipts.
The principal ground for the veto
is that competition between tele-
phone companies is not desirable,
rendering it necessary for business
concerns to patronize both systems,
thus greatly increasing their ex-
pense.
In my opinion, - says the mayor
"the construction of another tele
phone system in this city would re
suit in tearing up our streets and
pavements, and increasing the poles
and wires with which the street:
and thoroughtares are already bur
dened, without any resulting gooC

would result to subscribers from
