CHAPTER XvIII.-(Continued.)

CHAPTER XVIII.-(Continued)
One of the men fell-it was Sullivan
Rolling over on the hillside, he lay
still, shot through the forehead. No
more lightning rum" would he dis
pense at the charge of one shilling per
''nobbler;" no more unwary bushmen
would he waylay and rob of their hard
earned cheques! Sullivan's long ca
reer Of vice was closed forever and now
he would have to settle longer score
than ever he had chalked up against
his customers in all his life-a score
such as rogues of his type never expect
to be called upon to pay.
Come on, lads!" cried the trooper.
"Fire; but spare the woman if you
can"
At that moment the door was thrown
open and a woman appeared, firing
Ave or six shots from a revolver upon
the besieging party. ,'.
Rushing into close quarters, and fir
ing at random, the hut was speedily
gained possession of, and then the fight
was over. T
Stretched upon the floor in corner,
shot through the heart, lay Tom
haynes; while leaning against the wall
beside him stood the woman, MORALLY
wounded, but still at bay.
With yell of triumph William Luke
: threw himself upon the dead man; but
suddenly he drew back with an excla-
( nation of intense amazement. Then
he tore open the wooden Shirt upon the
body 'sr.-,.
Good heavens" he cried, cts a
woman; and, as live, 1t is Anne Dod-
son!'' ....--......
The rest of the men crowded into the
hut, and a hush of horror fell upon
them, while the hunted creature lean
ing against the wall watched them and
clutched at the rough bark slabs in the
agony of death, presently gasping-
Yes, yes-it is Anne Dodson; true
to me--true to the last! You've won
the game, Bill Luke; you will get the
reward but l. Edward Bartlett, will
never hang for the murder Of your
brother, or-or-the old man at F'roy-
lesl The coins-the gold coins-they
are buried-buried beneath Ali"
AS the voice ceased the woman's
black wig slipped and fell off; there
was dull gurgling sound as of one
struggling for breath, and, with wild
glance around him, Edward Bartlett
fell forward, across the body OF the
girl who had loved him, dead

Buccaneering and piracy were rec
ognized industries. The treasure ships
of Spain were legitimate prey. The
riches of Mexico and Peru were levied
upon, and the people of Jamaica were
literally rolling in wealth and splendor.
Vice and debauchery held sway, Bac-
chanalian revels which might put to
shame the dwellers in the Orient were
of nightly occurrence. There was no
virtue.

The spire of the old cathedral is the
most prominent object. In the clear
water you can see the fishes lazily
swimming in and out among the ruined
turrets, more suggestive Of owls and
bats than of the finny inhabitants of
the sea. Occasionally glimpses can be
had of the ruins of other buildings
buildings which for more than two CEN
turtles have kept their CHASTITY secrets
and will keep them until the end of
time.

The city of Port Royal was original
ly built upon narrow strip of land
extending out into the sea, which ac-
counts for its strange disappearance
at the time OF the earthquake. Like
the house of the foolishman of Biblical
lore; which was builded upon the sand,
it literally slid into the water when
the earthquake shock came

quotes from a letter written by one of
the survivors, rector-two or three
days after the disaster, which is in
part as follows:

Previous to that fateful 7th day Of
June, 1892, Port Royal had been known
as "the finest town in the West Indies,
and the richest spot in the world" 1t
was, as it now is, British colony, but
there was little either in Its govern
ment or its customs Of British moral
ity. We are told that it was a place
of luxurious debauchery; that in their
excuses the colonists rivaled the prof
ligates of ancient Rome.

A SUNIlEN CITY.

In the beautiful harbor of Kingston,
Jamaica, few fathoms under water,
sleeps the sunken city of Port Royal,
which was destroyed by an earthquake
in 1892. On cloudless, still day,
when the surface Of the sea is perfect
ly smooth, the ruins of the phantom
city may be plainly seen in the depths
Of the transparent water.
The Chanute times. [volume] (Chanute, Kan.) 1897-1913, 1899-01-27

After the earthquake the town was
rebuilt, only to be completely destroy
ed by fire in 1903. On August %, 1922,
1t was swept into the sea by hurri-
cane. 1t was once more reconstructed,
but again, in 1916, it was reduced to
ashes, and as recently as 1880 it was
visited by another hurricane. Every
disaster was attended by great loss Of
life.

The shock came close on to midday.
The air was hot and sultry. The sky
was without cloud. A great still
ness seemed to hover over the city, and
then, without warning, the earth trem-
bled. Men and women left their
houses aud ran into the streets, only
to meet death in the bowels of earth
or In the hidden recesses of the sea.

From the time child learns the taste
Of candy and pleads and cries for it up
to the period when they have their own
spending money and can crafty their
cravings for sweets and confectionery
they hear Of nothing but the i'll and evils
that follow in the wake of the indul-
gence in candy. 1t destroyes their teeth,
it causes dyspepsia and all kind of all
ments. 1t seem that come OF these old
fashioned notions are being frowned
down or done away with. The War
Department has authorized candies to
he kept on hand for sale as staples to
officers and enlisted men OF the army.
This is similar to the action in European
armies, based on recent discoveries as to
the food value of sugar. This edict that
has gone forth from the War Depart
ment is enough to make the little folks
shout for joy, for 1t has virtually taken
the dreadful ''hooloo' off OF candy.

MEMORIAL DAY.

The Memorial Day of 80 was an ideal
one in the way of weather, the sun be-
hind heecy clonds and the air balmy
and pleasant.
The stores and all places of business
were closed daring the exercises and
Asst. Master Mechanic Small gave leave
of absence to all who desired it, so prao-
ticaly all Wadsworth took part in the
ceremonies OF the day.
The members of Queen Esther Rebe-
kah Lodge No. 80, |. o. o. +. assembled
in Fraternal Hall and from there to the
sound OF the fife and drum marched to
Music Hall where the exercises were
held. The Rebekahs and Odd Fellows
had sent for number of boxes of cut
flowers for the occasion, an ample supply
for all purposes.
There was large audience at Music
Hall every available seat being occupied
and number OF people standing. The
program of the exercises was opened
with prayer by Rev. T. l.. Bellam.
The chorus and audience joined in
singing "America.
Feelingly and .impressively Mrs. Chas.
Park recited "The Bivouac of the Dead"
and was rewarded with much applause.
Mrs. Park is very accommodating in
in sharing her attainments with the
people of Wadsworth, who are apprecia-
tive of her kindness.
The Grafton was delivered by n. A.
Humnel who received many compli-
ments for the sentiments he expressed
and eloquence in delivery.
The chorus gave blessed he the Tie
that Binds" and Brother Bellaln closed
with touching benediction.
District Deputy Grand Master r. H.
Cowles acted as Marshal and process
sion was formed at the hall which
marched to Fraternal Cemetery where
every grave was strewn with sweet
| flowers.
The cemetery is source Of pride with
us and grows in beauty as plots are be-
| comingly outlined with wood, iron or
stone, and beautiful tasty monuments
are reared. People whose beloved dead
lie there went early in the day with
their tokens of remembrance and the
graveyard was turned into garden of
| flowers.
Not the least pleasing OF the doings of
! fraternal societies is this remembrance
of the departed in this public manner
once year and what is done by them
is done for them and for their dead
whose bodies repose in some distant
spot. 'Tis sweet to be remembered. The
ladies who made arrangements for
proper observance of the day did deed
that rebounds to their credit, kindness
of heart and patriotism.

The Carson News feels called upon to
enter protest against the malicious
and nnsportsmanlike slaughter of the
doves now going on all over the State.
Perhaps thoses who go out and kill
these harmless birds do not stop to con-

their breeding grounds, carrying on
Natures laws.

be rewarded for creating a vacancy in
