With that, drawing his knife, the plucky
fellow leapt down upon the submerged
pole, and with few strokes he succeeded
in cutting the mules loose from the traces.
Meanwhile Quin was chiefly concerned
for the safety of his companion and of the
pumas. The wagon floating lightly down
the stream, suddenly struck narrow bar
of grass and gravel that lay in mid-chan-
mel, then over 1t went, and off slid the
bales of cotton and the box of pumas.
quick jump saved Quin and Darrell
from a thorough wetting, and landed
them hip-deep The two fought their way
ashore, and shook their dripping clothes.
The thought of the pumas sent Quin
hurriedly back to the upper end of the
bar, with Darrell at his heels. The cubs
were whimpering with fright and discom-
fort, and the dam was in a ferocious
mood.
The sun was below the horizon now,
and darkness came ON quickly. In a
little hollow OF the island twenty feet
or so from the stranded box, some res
cued bales of cotton were placed in a
semi-circle to keep off the keen night
wind. Then, having eaten the few bis
cults that remained from their lunch, the
castaways made themselves as comfort
able as possible, and in spite OF their
wet clothing they presently fell asleep.
Some time later-it must have been
near midnight-Quin woke feeling rest
less and uneasy. He heard a horse neigh
over by the mouth of the gorge. and the

gloom several dark objects approaching
the lower point of the island from the
south side of the river. II was the work
of an instant to rouse and alarm his

piled Quin, ''but l want those pumas

The puma-or California lion, as 1t Is
sometimes called-is large tawny, yell
low beast, larger than a panther, with
a reputation for strength and ferocity. But
the pair that lurked in the foothills north
of Lone Mountain Rancho came to speedy
grief, once Quin set to work. Within
week the female puma was taken in a
cleverly constructed box-trap, baited with
a freshly killed lamb. A brace of kitten
ish cubs, found in a rocky den half way
up precipice, shared their mothers cap
tivity.
warm, sunny morning, several days
later, witnessed the departure of Ken
woods guest for the little settlement OF
Peak City, forty miles to the southeast,
which was connected by stage with the
nearest point on the railway. A large
four wheeled vehicle. drawn by a pair of
mules, was in charge of Rube Darrell, a
strapping big fellow of the cowboy type
loud-voiced but sound at bottom. The
forepart of the wagon was heaped with
bales of WOOL and the puma and her
cubs, confined in a stout wooden box, &C.
crpied the rear.
A tight clasp Of the hands, and a few
quiet words of farewell, marked the part
ing between Kenwood and Quin. The lat
ter climbed to the narrow seat of the We
hicle. beside the driver and examined the
fastenings of leather bag that was
strapped round his chest, underneath his
coat. 1t contained some hundreds of dol
lars, in gold and notes, that he had con-
scented to take charge of for his friend as
far as Peak City, where ii was to be

door and threw it open, and then dashed
on to the wagon. Looking back from
behind this shelter he saw the liberated
puma make a flying leap that landed it
on the breast of the foremost of the three
desperadoes, who had sprung over the
barricade in chase of the fugitive. With
screams of rage and yells of terror-a
chorus to turn ones blood Goldman and
beast fell together to the sand. The
formers companions drew back In panic,
making no effort to help him.
This was Quin's opportunity. He left
the stony bed of the river, mounted to the
mouth of the gorge, and quickly discoV-
cred what he sought-four horses tethered
at the base of the cliff.
Three of them he was compelled 20
abandon, as he had no knife with which
to sever the lariats. BY the time he had
united the one, and swung into the sad
die, his enemies were dangerously near.
He rode at a gallop up the narrow de-
file, and at intervals, as he spurred on
he heard the Gathering sounds of pur-
suit far in his rear. But these presently
faded away, and unbroken silence reign
ed around him.
1t was o'clock in the morning when
Quin reused the sleeping inhabitants OF
Peak City to listen to his thrilling story.

that Quin was taking the bag Of money

REMARKABLE SUCCESS

Jority of the American people are ca

result of our changeable climate, but be-
cause modern investigation has clearly
proven that many diseases, known by
other names, are really catarrh. Form
erly the name catarrh was applied al
most exclusively to the common nasal ca
tarrh. but the throat, stomach, liver.
bladder, kidneys and intestines are sub

nasal passages.
In fact, wherever there is mucous mem

ly failures, as far as anything more than
temporary relief was concerned, because
they simply dry up the mucous secre-
lions, without having the remotest e.

the real sources Of catarrhal diseases.

Of the Great Western Hotel, of Bonn
bay, the largest hotel in that city, and
one of the largest in the vast empire
of India. 1t is an eight-story building
with over 200 rooms. 1t is lavishly
furnished, and has all conceivable
modern improvements. An idea of the
elegance of the apartments can be
formed when it is known that an ek-
tension of sixty rooms, which WIS

Mr. Guzder is taking a trip around
the world, partly for pleasure, but
mostly with the intention of studying
the hotels of other countries. He has
made it a point to make a close study
of each of the hotels which he visits
during his travels, and he has made
extensive notes on the management
and arrangements of nearly all TIE
pricipal hostelries of Europe and
America.
Mr.. Guzder left Bombay in April of
this year and went to Europe, which

Drondtjem, in Norway. After making
his tour through Europe. Mr.. Guzder
came to America, where he visited New
York, Buffalo, Chicago, Denver, San
Francisco, Los Angeles and many 9TH
er cities.
In his opinion the Waldorf-Astoria
Hotel, in New York, is the best hotel
in the world. Upon the whole, the
American hotels are far superior to
those of Europe. according to Mr.. Guz-
der'S statement, and he enjoyed his
trip through the States far better than
he had expected. He has found many
new ideas and innovations in America.

BURGLARS ENTER
CASTLE & COOKIES
Secure Entrance From King
Street But Fail to Sc
cure Booty.

Castle & Cookies office, at the corner
of Bethel and King streets was report
ed last night about $3.50 o'clock, as hav-
ing it's street doors open. The door
leading from King street to the stair
way to the offices in the second story
was found open, from which an en-
trance to the main office of Castle &
Cooke had been reached by door
which opens into the hallway. The big
iron door at the rear of the building,
behind the elevator. and the wire door
leading to Mr. Bowen's office and open
ing into the back yard, were also
found open. George Watts, patrolman
for the Merchants Patrol, made the
discovery on his rounds, and it was
of the interior, that burglars had eff
fected an entrance.
According to Watts statement he no.
ticed the stairway door, which is usu-
ally closed at night, standing ajar. He
investigated and found the door lead
ing to the main office secured by a
string to a cleat, evidently tied by
Some person upon quitting the build
ing. Watts theory is that the lock
on this door was picked. He went
through the large room and upon
eaching the elevator shaft saw the
rear iron door wide open. He went
into the office occupied by Mr. Bowen |
and Mr.. Tenney, and discovered the |
wire protecting door open. AS far as |
he could learn nothing had been dis |
turbed. The safes seemed intact, and
there was no evidence of violence on
1eSkS or cabinets.

An Honest Confession.

AS Frank Stanton observes. there is
nothing like being candid. The editor
of the Buncomb Guardian says: I'VE
have no excuse to offer for the nom
appearance Of our paper last week. We
went down to Chertsey, to attend a hot
literary supper. and we fell into the
hands of the poets and authors we had
criticised in our columns. What they
did to us was no little. It was three
days before we came to. and even then
we could not recall our name, or the
names OF our creditors. That is the
whole story. We leave the rest TO your
imaEination."

GRATITUDE OF REPUBLICS.

It is indeed pathetic that at the close
of an honorable career, having render
ed to his country valuable service, Ad-
miral sSchley finds himself without a
penny, his savings and his prize money
having been eaten up in his defense of
his reputation.
Where one year ago he could view
the future with equanimity, knowing
that he had saved a few thousands and
that more would come TO him as a re-
suit of his destruction of Cervera's fleet
at Santiago, now he finds himself re-
duced to his salary, nothing in pros
pect beyond his retirement, all because
he valued his reputation more than
wealth.
The debt OF the Republic to Schley is
not one to be measured in dollars, but
it will be unlike the American people
to permit the brave naval hero to face
the prospect of leaving wife and family
without provision. 1t is safe to say
that all of gratitude of the people was
not bound up in a Dewey mansion.

over the propriety of the name chosen
for the Home Rule party. The Home

defended the wisdom of taking on ts.e

consistently against any change in title
