l could find no fault with the mulatto

my time; might possess my soul in
patience, fairly confident that the right
would come right in the end.
But what of Frida? When should 1
see her again? To win her and be
parted from her all within few short
hours-it was hard measure, indeed.
And how would she take my disap-
pearance? Would she be grieyed, an
noyed, suspicious-what?
These last rather anxious specula-
tons were broken in on by the ap-
pearance of Lysander, my laconic
jailcr, who brought me cup Of hot
coffee, with the brief words-"Break-
fast, boss"
He was presently followed by Colonel
McQuahe and Lawford. They both
inquired most affectionally after my

READING CREWS STRIKE.
Two of the Men Arrested for Using
Threatening Language.

Coatesville, Pa, March About a
week ago the conductors and brakemen
working on the shifting crews in the
Philadelphia & Reading railway yards at
this place, demanded an increase in
wages. Last evening about 10 o'clock
the men struck, and later two Of them
were arrested for using threatening lam
guage around the depot.
The yard is being worked in crippled
condition this morning, with two crews
out of the five usually at work. Superin-
tendents Voorhees, and Wells are here in
consultation with W. X. Harris, agent,
and Chief of Police Umsted. If the yard
is tied up two days it would throw 1000
men out OF work.

way would be to row out In the dingey;
SO he ran her back into the water and
pulled out to the sea, coasting the far
side and giving the yacht a wide berth.
When almost off it, fierce row broke
out aboard. Six shooters were let off,
several shots, pretty quickly followed
by yells and curses. Joe saw that the
disturbance was heard on shore; lights
began to dance about In the village,
and the alarm was given.
"They'll soon have the gendarmes on
their backs. Now's our time. Well

anyway, we'd better bring the tug
into the bay and lie close handy
against the morning." I suggested, and
the advice was considered good, al
though the skipper did not much like
the job of entering a strange place In
the dead Of night.
! There were more difficulties made
Text day, and It was quite late before
the major and set foot on the Fleur-
de.Lis. Some more big French toads
had come of from shore-a magistrate,
one or two doctors, and an officer Of
gendarmes-and they had begun n
verbal process" as 1t Is called; for
there had been wounding and attempt
ed murder, SO they said, on board the
yacht.
The long and the short Of It was
that the rogues had fallen out among
themselves; with good reason, too,
from the point Of view of some of
them. McQuahe, the colonel from
Klondike. had fallen out with Lawford
for assisting our captain to escape
from the yacht and loosed of at him
directly Wood was missed. He was a
quick shooter and had pretty well filled
Lawford up with lead, 80 full that 1t
might 60 hard with him.

! Night came about 8 o'clock, dark
and starless. 1t was best to get to
work right away, and we were to start
about 0. But little before that we
heard shots and the noise Of rumpus,
faint, but distinct, In the distant. Some
thing was up, certain sure, and in the
direction Of the bay, for the sounda
came from the yacht.
"Better not poke our noses into any

major said quietly. 1.-THE nights

ESQ we waited half an hour, and
were on the point Of starting out on
m expedition when we heard sound
of oars approaching.
EiWhat could 1t mean?
@Then came low Hello! Jacob
Silverton ahoy" In Joe's voice, and he
WAS soon alongside, in boat that be-
longed to the Fleur-de-Lis. He said
no, anyway, and we were bound to be-
lieve him, although it was confound-
eddy queer story.
EiWhile he waited among the rocks he
still kept his lookout on the yacht. Al
though it had fallen dark, he could
make out her hull on the water plainly;
there were lights, too, aboard, with
streaks and reflections strong enough
to show up parts Of her.
I Suddenly he saw figure dropping out
of the stern into the yachts dingey,
which seemed to have been put there
on purpose, and which, anyway, was
quickly cast adrift, for 1t floated slow
ay and silently away. The tide was
making into the bay, and she must
have been caught on the current, which
carried her lnshore. Half way to the
s@Se the figure, which had no doubt
been crouchlng In the bottom, out of
sight, got up on to the thwarts and
began pulling like mad.
4 Joe soon made up his mind. He
must know more about this boat and
the man In 1t: SO he got up on to the
top Of the rocks, where there was
better surface, and ran all he knew to
the head Of the bay, following the
sound Of the oars and getting squlnt
now and again of the black smudge of
the dingey. He came upon 1t at last,
high and dry on the shore.
But the man was gone.

those foreigners VINO make u trip

terest will be felt in the two gentlemen
from Belgium who arrived in lola on

TO FINISH JUNE FIRST
Allotments to the indians are About
Complete

Washington, May 27.--Oncials Of
the Interior department say the work
of allotment in the Kiowa, Comanche
and Apache reservation will have
been completed by June 10. Last
week Assistant Secretary Ryan told a
pondent for the Press that this
work had reached such a stage that
he expected the field force to finish it
by June 10. Saturday the Interior
department received from Inspector
Nessler 800 more allotments. This
brings the aggregate number of allot-
ments up to $500 and there will be
about 800 more. H. is now believed
the work can be completed by June l.
1t has been learned that the procla-
nation opening the reservation to
settlement has been drafted and is
under present consideration by the
President and Secretary Hitchcock.
There was some talk of IL being issued
while the Presidential party was in
the West, but the abandonment of the
trip in the Northwest rendered this
step unnecessary. The proclamation
probably will come out within the next
two weeks. 1t will include announce
ment of the elaborate system, which
has been agreed upon between the In
terror department and the officers of
the Department of Justice for draw
ings to determine the order in which
application for the homesteads in the
reservation will be considered. The
Department of Justice has thoroughly
canvassed the scheme and has advised
Secretary Hitchcock that its every
feature is legal. AS thirty days are
to be allowed for filing applications
for homesteads and as the law pro-
vides that the reservation be opened
not later than August 6, it will be
necessary for the proclamation to be
issued before June 30.
