moon. and in the darkness we stood no
chance of finding them. So we hailed
to Alec to come back, and after max
ing sure that our storehouses were un-
touched returned to the cave.
AT the door we were met by the old
man.
"Oh. ho, hor' he cackled 80 Don
Miguel and his fellow scoundrels have
taken the first chance of breaking their
plighted word. Didn't | tell you that

blue Spanish blood will flow in rivers.
Buff you were wise, Captain Ireland,
you would give orders at once to light
a fire of green wood at the mouth Of
the cave and smoke out the rest of the
hive before they, too, manage to free
their stings. You frown at my advice.
All, but you're young, my most chiy-
alrous captain; young and tender heart

ial injuries at Spanish handsi Oh, no,

And the old man, after gloWering
venomously at his interrupter, did as
he was told, and the two of them gam

throw until far into the night.
Next day we laid the first plank of
our new ship. and thenceforward the
fiat by the cave resounded with the
bubbing of adZes, the ring of hammers,
the jarring of saws and the songs of
the workmen, q discordant medley
enough, but to our ears the sweetest
harmony.
First arose a bristling thicket of ribs,
skin of planking, rising from rabbits
on the keel, spread slowly over the
superstructure till it reached the deck
beams and then continued upward to
form a strong protective bulwark, gap
ped with small rowports and larger
gun embrasures. Then tough treenails
pinned the deck planks on their bed
and by and by began the music of the
calker's iron and mallet. When every
stroke of the Ak or hammer was a
stroke nearer to freedom, there was
little chance that the work would be-
come Wearisome.
Our Spanish slaves were useless ex-
ccpt for porter's work, and of the
English none had served an actual ap-
premiership to the carpenters trade.

captains enthusiasm infused into ev-

ITO BE Continued
Cold Expands TIL EN-.

A civil engineer who is in Alaska has
written home to Chicago that the rails
on the Chilkoot Pass railway expand
with the cold instead Of contracting,
as they would be supposed to do. A
temperature ranging from II degrees
to 40 degrees below zero f. would not
appreciably affect the length of rails,
but severer cold than that would be
attended with expansion. This is GER

Renewing an Asparagus Bed.

An old and run out or neglected as
paragus bed can be best improved aft
er the season for cutting is over by
putting on liberal dressing Of manure
In June or July and plowing it in, not
taking much care to prevent breaking
the roots or to save seeding plants.
The plants are apt to become root
bound, and they will grow all the bet
ter for little breaking up of the mat
ted roots. Keep the weeds out all the
summer, and in early spring or even in
February, IL the ground is open, put
on from 600 pounds to half ton of
good fertilizer to the acre. This will
push it along to make a good growth,
and 1t will be better If it is not cut very
freely that spring or not at all after
the first of June.

CAPTURE OF BOER LEADERS
NECESSARY TO END THE WAR
Kitchener's Proclamation Cannot Other.
wise be Enforced.

NEW YORK, Aug. 28.-The
barometer of South Africa fell
when it was known that Steyn,
Dewet and Botha had defied Mr..
Chamberlain and had announced
their determination to fight in
the last ditch, says the London
correspondent of the Tribune.
The proclamation of Lord Kitch-
ener has not frightened the
Boer leaders, for whom menace
of exile has no terrors when they
do not believe it can be enforced.
Military men here have not
swerved from the conviction that
the war will continue until Steyn
and Dewet are captured.
The Transvaal leaders are
bound in honor to keep up war
fare so long as their allies south
of the Vaal are unwilling to sur
render. Proclamations only in
volve a waste of printers ink
while Steyn and Dewet remain
in the field. This is the judg-
ment of practical men who under
stand the full force of the point
of honor among the Dutch allies.
Generals cannot abandon one an
other when war has lasted
nearly two years without a sign
of treachery among the men in
the commands.
Lord Kitchener's comment on
the surrender of a British. force
of sixty-eight men after one SOL
der had been killed is that he is
holding an inquiry. This points
to the suspicion that the resist
ance offered by the British force
was inadequate. Military men ex-
plain the difficulty of keeping
jaded men up to their work when
they know that to surrender to a
superior force is followed by a
speedy release after their depriv-
alton of arms. powder and shot.
Heavy work and incessant march
ing have rendered the British
army stale. The same feeling
of WEAKNESS is shown in Eng
land, where the yeomanry force
recruited for special service is
still II, 900 below the full quota,
Notwithstanding the strenuous
exertions to strengthen it and
the high pay offered for rough
riders.

That Summer Ruq.

In summer rugs the San 70 is
really very little known to most
housewives, yet is very attractive
and inexpensive too. There are
several different colorings, mostly
with a bright center, on which are
two or three characteristic Chinese
figures surrounded by dark band
like border.
American fiber rugs are really tri-
umphs in their way. They are
woven from one and one-half inch
strips of tissue paper made into
fiber. The patterns and dyes are
very pleasing, the latter being quite
fast.
The Dhurrie India rug is another
summer friend, whose patterns and
colorings In many cases resemble
our Indian work, Navajo blankets
In particular, only their red is more
magenta where the American red
skins is quite "frisky." Their
blues and yellows are particularly
good.

DEFIANT NEGRO GRE
MATED NEAR TENNES-
SEE VILLAGE

WINCHESTER, Tenn, Aug. &c.
Henry Noles, the negro who
criminally assaulted and shot to
death Mrs. Charles Williams.
wife of a farmer near here, last
Friday, was captured early Sun
day morning at Water Tank, near
Cowan, Tenn. He was brought
to Winchester by his captors and
placed in the county jail. Sheriff
Stewart made haste to try to
barricade the Jail and protect the
prisoner.
Soon a mob of several hundred
men gathered, but assistant at
Attorney General Matt N. Whit
taker appeared and made a
speech to the crowd. He appeal
ed to them to assist him in allay-
ing excitement and upholding
the majesty of the law. He
promised to reconvene the grand
july to promptly indict the me-
gro and have him speedily tried
at the present term of court. as
suring the crowd that his convic-
ton and legal execution were a
foregone conclusion.
This appeal was supplemented
by Judge j. ]. Lynch, Captain
w. P. Tolley, Jesse M. Littleton,
Foster Ramsey and others. No
sooner had their appeals been
made than several hundred citi
zens from the neighborhood
where the crime was committed
came up and augmented the
crowd to thousands. They swept
forward upon the Jail, overpow-
cred the sheriff and his deputies,
took the prisoner, and started
for the scene of the crime, twelve
miles distant, at 1915 a. m.
The mob was orderly, but de-
termined. It seemed that the
whole population for miles
around had turned out to see the
fate of the negro. A procession
three miles in length followed
the mob to the Williams home.
Arriving at point in sight of
the scene of the crime the negro
was placed upon a stump and
given a chance to make a state
ment. He mounted the stump
stolidly and laughed as he began
his statement. He said:
TELL all my sisters and broth
ers to meet me in glory. I am
going to mare that my home.

ALL OVER THE HOUSE.
The Latest FormaIities For the Dinner
Table,

Gorgeous ornamentation of the
dinner table is conceded to be as bad
form as a colored aunty in the
south. The embellishment-the
ornate, if you will-has been over
done, and now there is a reaction
which tends to simplicity extreme
expressed by a handsome center
piece and a moderate exposition Of
not common flowers.
A different kind and color of
china with every course are affected
by those whose cabinet is crowded
and who are proud of it, but this
pride has its limitations among peo-
pie of refinement and culture. This
class does not give dinners simply
to exhibit earthly treasure and
create envy and perhaps covetous-
ness too.
The larger the table napkin the
better. A yard square is none too
big and pleasantly recalls the Pa
risians, whose liberality in damask
is proverbial, but not a characters
tic in anything else. The material
should be the best obtainable and
the design the most beautiful. Any
lace edging or embroidery, plain or
colored, is just as bad taste as quiz
nine.
Knives, forks and spoons nova

somewhat confusing to those who
do not dine out with sufficient fire.
quency to keep up with the con-
tinually advancing procession.
Some of these knives, forks and
spoons are quite unnecessary, not
to say silly, but the business of the
silversmith must be considered.
Unless fruit be served, finger
bowls are almost obsolete at modern
dinners and are no more a neces-
sary part of gastronomic ritual.
Abroad in Germany, for instance,
the use of the vessel for disgusting
ablutlOns still obtains, albeit soap
and towel are not provided. It were
better to discontinue any table Gus
tom or fashion that generates vul-
garity.
