under the door of my shanty. l was
about to hurry on when the boy laid a
hand on my sleeve.
Presently there was a scratching from
within. A match famed mp. The man
who had lighted it was crouched on the
floor, his body between us and the
light. He was unwinding a piece of
very thin twine or strong thread and
carefully stringing it across the floor
from the bed 90 the stove He passed it
round leg of the stove and then back
again. securing it finally with infinite
caution to a 7ittle shiny metal tube
which protruded from the top of small
parcel. This parcel was standing we'll
hidden under one of the chairs at the
foot of the bed. As the ;uan turned
saw his profile plainly. 1t was Callan.
An instant's thought aud my engi-
neering training made plain to me the
whole internal plot. The parcel was

glass receptacle. Above this was a lead

pin. The string so carefully wound
across the floor was attached to the free
end of the pin A touch of careless feet
against the string, the pin would pull

the boy. Suddenly, in moment of mad
fury-for he, too, had understood the
plot-he sprang up and beat with his
fists upon the pane. Callan raised him
self quickly, but carefully, not forget
ting the deadly string What he did
forget was how near he was to the stove.
As in dream l saw his coat catch
against it. 1t swung and the big kettle
overbalanced For an instant it seemed
to hang in the air strove to call out
1t was too late. Smash, it fell right on
the string. The whole world turned
crimson and burst into a great glare of
flame. Something struck me in the
chest and drove me backward.

Inexpensive Luxurv.

The advance of science and the in
creased competition in business is work
ing for the benefit of the public in giving
to them the best things at prices within
the reach of all. One of the greatest lux
uries of modern civilization is a fine, in
vigorating cup of coffee, and this is now
within the reach of the very poorest fam
lies since Lion Coffee was placed upon
the market. While it is a most delicious
drink, it is also a most economical one,
for, owing to the purity of this coffee, a
single pound makes 10 cups. If you have
never tried it, ask your grocer for a pound
this verv week.

THE GOVERNORS APPETITE.
He Can Eat with ImpunIty Anything Set Be
fore Him.

Georgia's chief executive has many
good qualities, and in addition to his
superb robust constitution, the Governor
also possesses what is coveted by many
unfortunates-he has good appetite.
Like any ordinary mortal, however, he
once suffered from indigestion, with all
the distressing conditions which it pro-
duces. But he has found an unfaiiing
remedy, however, and said recently
"Formany years my digestion was bad
but the occasional use of a bottle of S. S.
S. has entirely cured me of this maladv.
and now eat with perfect impunity any
thing set before me"
Governor Gambler has also declared S.
S. S. to be the finest tonic and blood
purifier made. He has used it every
spring for the past fifteen years.

e Careful

No woman can be too careful of
her condition during the period be-
fore her little ones are born. Neglect
or improper treatment then endan-
gers her life and that of the child. 1t
lies with her whether she shall suffer
unnecessarily, or whether the ordeal
shall be made comparatively easy.
She had better do nothing than do
something wrong.

why 1900 Il. Not /. Leap Year.

The year 1900 will not be counted
among the leap years. The year is 365
days, 8 hours and 40 minutes long; IL
minutes are taken every year to make
the year 365 Ia hours long, and every
fourth year we have an extra day.
This was Julius Caesars arrange
ment. Where do those eleven minutes
come from? They come from the flu
ture, and are paid by emitting a leap
year every 100 years. But II leap year
Is omitted regularly every Tooth year,
In the course of 400 years it is found
that the eleven minutes taken each
ear will not only have been paid back,
but a whole day will have been given
up.
So Pope Gregory ILL.,, who improved
on Caesars calendar in 1852, decreed
that every centurial year Invisible by
four should be leap year. after all. SO
we borrow eleven minutes every year,
more than paying u borrowings back
by emitting three leap years in three
centurial years, and square matters by
having a leap year in the fourth centu-
rial year. Pope Gregory's arrangement
Is so exact, and the borrowing and pay
ing back balance so closely, that we
borrow more than we pay back to the
extent of only one day In 1856 years.

NORTH DAKoTANs AMBUsHED.
Detachment of Eight Men Fired on,
Only One Getting Away Unhurt.

Manila. April 16. Starting in an
easterly direction along the road to
Pansanghan, a party of sixty sharp
shooters, under Lieut.. Sothern, of the
Washington regiment, came upon a
trench across the road about a mile out
of Santa Cruz. Lieut.. Southern was
wounded.
The Americans then advanced with
the mounted guns and the Fourteenth
infantry battalion In the center; Lick's
battalion OF the First Idaho infantry
on the right, and Raine's battalion OF
the First North Dakota on tbe left.
The trench was carried without loss TO
the Americans. ~Pansanghan was
found deserted. One Filipino was
killed and five wounded in the encoun-
ter beyond Toangas. There was an
ambush. Eight men Of the North Da-
kota regiment, moving in single file
through the woods received a volley
from a clump of bushes not far away.
Only one got off unhurt. He dragged a
comrade with four bullets in his body
TO the main force and then led the
main body of troops back to the scene
OF the ambush. The Flipinos were
easily driven off. The dead found north
of Santa Cruz swell the number OF the
enemy killed IN Monday TO $50, includ-
ing Paole Aguirro. one OF the leaders,
and twelve officers.
AS he lacks sufficient troops for gar
risoning. Gen. Lawton viii withdraw
from the towns entered. Not u house
has been burned, the only coniiscation
being OF pigs and chickens. 1t is hoped
that this respect for property will con-
vince the natives o. the good inten-
lions of the Americans.
