but fortunately no further heed
seemed to be paid to us.
Fetching at last into the street, we
turned in the direction of the water
and pushed along at sharp walk. 1t
was in all our minds, though we stayed
not to talk about it, to gain the first
leftward street or passage, and
thence continue till we obtained some
knowledge or were satisfied of the
safety of the fugitives. We at last
came to the leftward turning street,
and gladly turned the corner, and
broke into n run.
81 think they have got fairly Off"
said the captain with a breath of re-
lief. sit is clear the buccaneers have
not yet penetrated to this quarter, and
the time is more than sufficient to
fetch the beach"
II would not croak," said I, "but |
am less hopeful. There is the guard on
the ships, who might easily espy them,
and then our struggling parties are
polling about in all directions"

but to continue to the water side, and
proceed little way from there to-
ward this fisher village. If we see and
hear nothing amiss we may rest in
reasonable content that they are
safe"
We'll, we would not turn back
without that assurance" said I. Let
US proceed"
We pushed on down this street, ac-
cordingly, and when we had come into
the next turned to the left and so con-
tinued to the outskirts of the town.
We learned nothing of moment, or
touching the business in hand, and,
thinking it of no use to proceed far
ther, and, indeed, supposing it might
not be prudent to do so Qest we might
be spied upon by some of Towland's
party, we descended to the beach, and
SO walked for time up and down.
After some little time, it being now
near noon, and we beginning to be
hungry, we thought it best to return
to the castle. We bent our steps that
way, therefore, and might have pro-
ceeded fourth part of the distance
when Mac Ivrach suddenly gave lit
tie cry.
Look yonner! Nay, nay. as
amiss."
We hastily sprang to his side, for he
was standing at the moment on a bit
of ledge, while we were below, and to
our horror discovered what it was that
had fetched out the cry. In a kind of
little depression, and partly hidden by
the overhanging crest of the ledge,
lay the corpse of Don Enrique de Cayo-

Young Frenchman's Remarkable
Feat of Horsemanship.
Travels from Vienna to Paris, ?S5
Niles, I'm Twelve Days and Four
teen Hours, without Inca
pacitating His Mount.

A very remarkable feat of horseman-
ship has just been accomplished by
young Frenchman of good family, NJ.
Charlie Cottu. He rode the whole of the
way from Vienna to Paris, 7s5 miles, in
IL days II hours, using only one horse
and, what is still s-g0re noteworthy,
brought his mount into Paris in thor
oughly good condition. AS everyone
knows, 90 miles is good deal more
than the average horse can be expected
to accomplish in a day, and to keep up
this average for 13 days at a stretch,
with 1S5 pounds weight on the animals
back, implies not only great stamina in
the steed, but altogether exceptional
care and management on the part of
the rider.
NJ. Cottu's main object was to beat
Lieut.. Zubowitz' record of Ii days five
hours over the same road, and he set
about his preparations with the utmost
thoroughness. He began to train his
mount-a half-bred Irish mare, Irish
Lass, seven years old, standing just un-
der Is hands-on Easter Monday, be-
ginning with a gentle ride of Is miles
or so, and gradually increasing the
daily distance up to 40 miles. After
fortnight of this preliminary work, NJ.
Cottu started for Vienna, covering the
distance by easy stages. He had pre-
viously taken a course of lessons from
blacksmith, so that in the event of
Irish Lass casting shoe at an incor-
venient moment he could put on anoth-
er before any damage was done to the
foot. The journey to Vienna occupied
"a days, the Austrian capital being
reached on May II. Irish Lass and her
owner kept in steady training until
June /, when they started on the long
ride to Paris. BY this time NJ. Cottu
and his mare were hard as nails" and
Cameron County press. [volume] (Emporium, Cameron County, Pa.) 1866-1922, 1899-08-10

accomplished the journey with only
one hitch, the mare being temporarily
upset by the change of food after
crossing the German frontier on the
third day.
In conversation with a Paris corre-
spondent, NJ. Cottu explained that the
great secret of success on long-distance
rides is to avoid overheating your
mount. 81 never" he said, kept Irish
Lass at the trot for more than a mile
and a quarter. | always dismounted
when we came to a hill and led her up
it. Some days | walked at least 20
miles. When we came to our stopping
place, | let her stand n few minutes to
cool, and then unsaddled her and gently
rubbed her back with the bare hand, to
restore the circulation in the parts
weighed upon by the saddle. Then
groomed her carefully, took her into
her stable and gave her her food. AS
soon as she had taken it she used to lie
right down at once, but she was always
ready for the road again. lgave her be-
tween 90 and "a liters of oats and be-
tween Is and IS liters of milk every day,
with fair amount of water whenever
she wanted it, provided the water was
not too cold. l gave her from four to
six hours rest in the middle of the day,
so as to escape the heat, and only about
two hours at night. | always slept in
the stable with her and did not once
take off my clothes from leaving Vienna
to arriving at Paris. There was no
time for baths or anything of that sort.
AS we never did more than 6 u miles an
hour, even over level country, we had
to spend good many hours a day on
the road"
Questioned i'll regard to his own
regimen, NJ. Cottu said he had taken
dark in preference to white meat when
ever he could. He smoked very little
and drank no alcohol except light wine
freely diluted. En- route he ate bread
and sugar in preference to chocolate.
During the last two days he was obliged
to drink large quantities of coffee to
keep himself awake, with the result
that for some little time after his arrival
In Paris he suffered froIn cerebral cloud
iress and inability to collect his
thoughts. Otherwise his long ride had
not the least effect On him. NJ. Cottu is
only 20 years of age.

Books printed four centuries ago
still exist, with their paper in good
condition, but il the committee recent
ly appointed by the Society of Arts in
London to study the deterioration of
modern paper is not seriously mis-
taken, multitudes of books printed to-
day will be very short-iived. Perhaps,
in many eases, that fact is not TO be
regretted. If bad and worthless books
could always be printed on paper that
in few years turns to dus', and good
books always on enduring paper, the
makers of bad paper would, after all,
be benefactors of the public. The com
mittee referred to finds that paper
containing mechanical, or ground,
wood pulp especially, tends to both dis
integration and discoloration. Papers
consisting mainly of fibers of cotton,

certain measure of rough entreaty, as
| thought, I'VE will not be cozened.
We have rights here. Nay, to come to
the heart of the matter, we want the
old don and the woman. We pursued
them yesterday, and but for a twist
of luck at the pinch would have had
them. I myself all but secured the
young senorita. You will perceive
therefore, that we have the first right
here, and, like sensible men, will aban-
don your contention. Aye, to give you
the final proof, the owner of this
house is Don Enrique de Cayodilla, and
it was his niece-though my memory
halts at her name-thatI / laid hands on.
BY our laws a slave seized is slave
passed to ownership, and that you
well know"
Mr.. lynn turned back to us, his coun-
tenance grown serious.
This is not well. l fear the rascal
has the right of it--I mean as to the
rule"
Il am sure of it," said I, reluctantly.
81 have a clear thought of how it
runs"
Then, if they have the right to claim
the slaves, l conceive they have the
further right to come in and search
for them" said Mr.. lynn, with veXed
gesture. "WeIl, say we yield? To re-
fuse would be to await no one, and
conceive our friends now have a very
hopeful start"
We were compelled to agree with
him, and without further words he un-
barred and opened the door.
Towland and his men sullcnly
pressed in. and, we giving back, they
quickly filled all the fore part of the
hall. Towland looked at us with a
lowering brow, but said nothing, and
the men after u brief staring about
made forward and began to seattle:
over the house. Towland seemed to
hang in the wind for a bit, and at first
| thought he meant to say something
to US, but if so he changed his mind.
for. in the end, he wheeled about and
followed some of his crew up the
stairs.
We exchanged significant glances,
but for a little did not bulge, wishing
to avoid any dangerous seeming of
haste. At last as none of the men re-
turned-the most of them were now
above, where we could hear them
knocking about and calling to one an
other-we passed whispered word,
and all stole quietly out. As we made
down the walk 1 heard considerable
noise, and thought that the men were

The leader is that ferocious Tow
land" MIR. lynn turned his head to say.
As he did so the gang appeared to halt,
and the voice of the fierce captain
hailed us:
"Within, there! How dare you hold
thus against us? Open, or it will go
very i'll with you!"
''And why say you SOP" Mr.. Tym I'm
mediately put his face to the wicket
and coolly answered. "Have we notas
good a right to the loot of this place

cried one man; and at that they made
stir of their arms, letting the butts
of their guns fall, and there was bit
of silence.
1--WE were not aware that our own
people were in possession" heard
Towland then, in surly and yeXed
tone, reply. Nevertheless" he went
on, 1--WE have the right to come in, so
open the door"
''Why, look you," answered Mr.. Tym
and 1 could see by the wrinllling of his
side face that he was smiling-'I can
not recall that there is any rule agains t
bolting and barring. Suppose one
were intent on the capture of a slave,
for instance, must he needs let every
body in while he is about it? Slaves,
you are aware, are not common spoil,
as are goods and money"
"Nay, this is all idle talk and away
from the purpose!" said Towland, i'm
patiently. "Open the door, and be
speedy about it, or the business will
reach further than words!"
Let me at least confer with my
friends" answered Mr.. Tym, still
speaking moderately. 81 am not alone

Towland. "We will not be put off. -

NIGHTCAPPED BEFORE QUEEN.
The Complaining Earl of Sussex Was
Given II Most Extraordi-
nary Privilege.
[TO BE CONTINUED.

To the earl of Sussex was granted
the privilege of wearing nightcap in
the royal presence of Queen Mary. The
fact is mentioned in Miss Strickland 5
Lives of the Queens of England" as
being one of the odd rewards bestowed
by Mary upon her friends after her ac-
cession.
The earl was valetUdinarian, and
had a great fear of uncoyering his
head. Considering, therefore, that the
colds he dreaded respected no person,
he petitioned Queen Mary for leave to
wear a nightcap in her presence.
The queen not only gave him leave to
wear one, but two nightcaps if he
pleased. His patent for this privilege
is unique in royal annals.
"Know ye that we grant to our we'll
beloved and trusty cousin and coun-
cilor, Henry, earl OF Sussex license and
pardon to wear his cap, Golf or night
cap, or any two of them at his pleas
ure, as well in our presence as in the
presence of any other person within
this realm, or in any other place in our
dominions whatsoever during his life,
and these our letters shall be sufficient
warrant in his behalf"
The queens seal, with the garter
above it, was affixed to this singular
grant.
Three persons in Great Britain alone
enjoy the privilege of remaining COW
cred in the royal presence-namely,
Lord Forester, Lord Kinsale and the
master of Trinity college, Cambridge
Green Bag.
