OF THE CONCLUSION OF MY ADVEN-
TURII AND THE FALL OF THE CITY.
LIKEWISE OF THE STRANGE THING
THAT HAPPENED THEREAFTER.

come back to myself, and for an in
slant half succeeded. The advancing
figure came out palmer. saw the face,
and it was indeed Pradey's. l struggled
to keep it steadily in view, but it insist
ed on swimming in with the puffs of,
smoke, and as my giddiness increased it
lost all shape and outline. l must have
slipped from my position against the
hut at this point, for things gave a
kind Of upward flash, in particular, one
object danced out like a bright piece of
steel, and then I was conscious of a
hard jolt and all was blackened out
The next that | am able to recall is a
great swaying and swinging sensation,
followed by an abrupt pause and then
little cold shock. I opened my eyes
and found wet cloth on my forehead,
the ends hanging down on my cheeks.
/ put up my hand and drew the cloth
away. AS I cleared my eyes a figure
close by stepped forward and 1 per-
ceived with JOY that it was Mr.. lynn.
He was in his fighting gear, wanting
only the headpiece, and seemed to be
quite unhurt. He smiled as l stared
up at him.
''YOu are safe, then?" l said
''TO be sure, and you, also. 1t was
but y little furrow turned along the
skull. but might easily have been seri-
Gus. Nay, but you had best remain
where you are" he pursued, as L would
have risen. There is some hea in your
wound, and in this weather it were easy
to provoke fever"
/ perceived the wisdom of this advice,
and settled back in my place. L glanced
about, however, and saw that 1 was
in a shelter made of the rails of one
of the neighboring paddocks covered
with palm thatch. BY the brightness
of the sun that came IN at the door and
the oppressive heat 1 guessed that it
must be nigh noon.
Ny thoughts seemed now to fall into
their natural order, and L made haste
to question him.
"How does it happen that am here?"
I said; land in what manner was de-
livered from Pradey?"

send ball through his head. Then /
dragged YOU bit aside, and presently
was able to secure the aid of one of
the men, when we brought you hither."
This was great news, to be sure-in
especial, the part that related to
Pradey-and l was content to remain
silent a moment and reflect upon it.
"Then that villain is gone! Surely
we have reason 10 rejoice" / said at
last. But how think you viii the
other buccaneers take it? Do they
know the manner of his death?"
''Nay. and it were best that they
should not" answered Mr.. lynn, low
ering his voice. "Let it seem that he
died in action"

her time. Her first trip was made for
the government i'm the civil war. She
was built to run between Southern
ports, and was. brought here by the
Spragues. i'm the busy days before the
failure OF that great house. For years
the Frances ran on the Stonington and

Every person OF artistic bent should
know that Richmond contains some or
the best examples of the skill of Ameri-
can sculptors eXtant. To the writer's
mind it leads all American cities In this
respect. Here is the Washington

statue OF Washington; Mercie's eques-

Richmond family, and unquestionably
a scholarly artist of rare genius, be-

Richmond Is ABOUT equl-dlStant De-

the west and the sea upon the east, and
IL became the metropolis OF a great re-

Beware of the Picture Agents.

Eighty-five Willamsporters, it is said,
were easy enough to be film -nammed by
a number of solicitors who recently can
vassed that city as representatives of
the Manhattan Portrait Company. The
solicitors agreed to furnish a crayon
portrait, colored, free, and the people
were to buy frames of them at prices
ranging from So up to any old figure.
They took the photograph, brought
back proof and then asked for a
deposit, agreeing to deliver the picture
within ten days, when the balance was
to be paid. The proofs were good and
in at least eighty-five cases they succeed
ed in getting deposits of from SO cents to
the full amount.

Men unbridled their tongues and said

Charges and counter charges of dis

Finally the end came and with it a

Council Will Investigate.

Monday evenings meeting of council
was attended by all the members. The
approving of the minutes of the August
meeting was voted against by President
Kline. After stating his reasons, which
were that he believed the bill of Riser &
Dolan, for building the wall on the Hill,
was excessive, a motion was made to
reconsider the approval. This carried
by the votes of Kline, Rute, Rudewick,
Smith, Meehan and Mulhearn. Keck,
Schwabe, DePierro and Davis voted no.
The discussion on the motion was
lengthy and left the impression with the
onlookers that the work on the Hill
needs investigation. The minutes were
then approved with the exception of
Riser &c Dolan's bill.
Council decided to meet as q com
mittee of the whole tonight to investi-
gate the alleged overcharge and to look
up the methods of some committees in
making contracts.

MOndaY,s Amusements.

Welsh Bros. tent show arrived in
town Monday morning, but the heavy
downpour of rain prevented them from
doing the business they deserved. The
afternoon performance was attended by
very few people. In the evening a
larger audience was present, and very
good show was given. Owing to the
rain the balloon ascension did not take
place.
'The Hustler" opened the Grand
opera house Monday evening to an
audience which was not as large as
might have been present had the
weather been more favorable. The
show was of the usual farce comedy
variety and appeared to give satisfac-
tion. The female impersonations of
Leonard Ross and the speciality work OF
other members were very good, and the
playing of the company's orchestra is
also worthy of mention.

Denis Ferry, a brakeman on the d. S.

Oneida crossing. His train struck the
horse and wagon of Sheppton butcher,
killing the horse and demolishing the
wagon. The driver escaped with slight
injuries.
Mr.. Ferry jumped just before the
collision occurred and landed on the
broken wagon. One foot was badly
sprained and on the other he received
some deep gashes. His wounds were
dressed at Sheppton, after which he
was conveyed to Drifton on special
engine and then brought to his home on
Walnut street. Today he is resting as
well as could be expected, although the
injuries are quite painful.
