Of the real state of things came to
them. These few minutes were all we

the low wen. Some of us were in our
stockinged feet. but others did not
even have stockings on. AS the
sentinel passed we crouched In the
darkness under the wall and the most
stalwart of our party sprang up behind
him. The soldier had taken off his
Jacket, and, tiptoeing behind the SEN
tinel, he threw the garment over his
head, tightening it with twist that
nearly choked the man. Then, Selling
his gun so that it would not clatter on
the stones, he held him thus helpless
while we five climbed up beside him.
Feeling under the Jacket, 1 put my
right hand firmly on the sentinefs
throat, and. nearly choking the breath
out of him, said:
"'Your life depends on your actions
now. Will you utter a sound if I let
go your throatY
1.-THE man shook his head vehemently,
and released my clutch.
"'Now,' I said to him, where Is the
powder stored? Answer in whisper
and speak truly
"'The bulk Of the powder he an
swered, is in the vault below the cita-
dell
"'Where is the rest of it" 1 whis-
pered.
"Tn the lower room Of the round
tower by the gate
Nonsense 1 said. They would
never store it in place SO liable to at
tack
"<There was nowhere else to put it,
replied the sentinel, unless they left it
in the open courtyard, which would be
quite as unsafe
"Ts the door to the lower room in,
the tower bolted?
"There is no door, replied the SEN
try, but low archway. This arch
way has not been closed, because no
cannon balls ever come from the north
ern side.'
"'How much powder is there in this
room%
"I do not know; nine or ten barrels.
1 think
cit was evident to me that the fellow,
in his fear. spoke the truth. Now, the
question was how to get down from
the wall into the courtyard and across
that to the archway at the southern
side. Cautioning the sentinel again
that if he made the slightest attempt
to escape or give the alarm instant
death would be meted to him, 1 told
him to guide us to the archway, which
he did, down the stone steps that led
from the northern wall into the court
yard. They seemed to keep loose
watch inside. the only sentirels in the
place being those on the upper walls.
But the man we had captured not ap-
pearing at his corner in time, his com.
rade on the western side became
alarmed, spoke to him and, obtaining
no answer, shouted for him, then dis
charged his gun. Instantly the place
was in an uproar. Lights flashed, and
from different guardrooms soldiers
poured out. 1 saw across the court
yard the archway the sentinel had spo-i
ken of and, calling my men, made a
dash for it. The besieged garrison. not

lority OF lis 10 agree upon a
candidate; the period, sometimes fixed
by constitutional provision, during
which a Legislature may be lawfully in
session, may expire; the impractieabil-
ity Of securing a quorum Of both houses
may present itself, or the governor,
whose power over the course of legis
lation is considerable, may interpose
obstacles TO a choice whereby the legis-
lature will adjourn without securing
a nominee. Up 20 this point, politicians
are pretty generally agreed, but the
question which follows is not so easily
disposed Oft Has the governor OF u
srate the right to fill the vacancy aris-
ing, and II so. what Is the status of The
applicant in such o case2 Is he entitled
10 admission, or must the state remain
unrepresented in part until the next
legislature corvenes, n or two years
later, as the case may be, a majority Of
the states at present having the sys-
TEN Of biennial sessions under which
the lack of representation would CON
tinue for two years.
The matter has been treated by the
senate In various ways. However, the
fact is that this simple question Of SEN
atorlal representation by governors
appointment remains now In the same
unsettled condition that 1t has been
for Il number Of years. and there Gems
10 be no way, short of an amendmentto
the constitution, of definitely dispos-
ing Of the matter, a determination of
which all political parties would be sat
fstied, as the present condition of I'M
certainty, besides being an injustice TO
