As soon as the canvas catches the wa

place his hands in any comfortable po-
sition and the apparatus will support
him in the water as long as desired.

CHAPTER VIM.

At nine o'clock the family, as usual
separated for the night. Alice retired
to her chamber, which was shared by
Ella, who was buried in rosy slumber.
She was still too nervous and excited to
feel any disposition to sleep, and having
extinguished her candle, she raised the
sash of one of the windows and seated
herself near it.
She had not been at the window many
minutes before she thought she heard
footsteps approaching On listening more
attentively, Alice found that there were
two persons. They continued to draw
nearer and nearer, and, at last, seated
themselves on rustic bench beneath the
maple close to her window.
"Hez." said a voice, which she knew 70
be Falkland's. II tell you that the paper

with it,"

Rest satisfied that twill be no damage

son who will be the worse for it is Mr..
Walworth, and that won't trouble you.

grudge."
"Ay. that I do"
And doing me this piece of service
may give you better opportunity to pay
it than you will ever have again"
''He shall be paid anyhow. To be put

ed at by them that's no better than | am,
is what / sha'n't forget this year nor

You'd be no better than milksop il

The cath of Moses Peterson, well

have been caused indirectly by practical
joke. While he was in lumber camp
near Marquette, Mich, about six months
ago, Petprson's companions playfully
strung him up to a tree. He feared an
actual hanging, and, although he was not
injured, the shock was too much for him.
His mind became deranged, and a rup-

his death. The men who perpetrated the

HE WILL WIN.
Is Confident Of Defeating Tillman When
Primaries are Held.
IS STILL A DEMOCRAT.
Declares A Man Can Believe In a Ship
Subsidy and Expansion Without
Becoming Republican.

Norfolk, Va, August Ex-senator Nc
Laurin, of South Carolina, passed through
Norfolk today with his wife and child en-
route to the Pan American Exposition.
He talked with several of the Democratic
leaders here for the State convention,
which will discuss the general primary
plan for election of Senators. To the AS
sociated Press representative he made the
following statement:
"For many years the campaigns in
South Carolina have been in the nature OF
personal abuse between candidates. The
present campaign is the first one in which
an issue is at stake. My series of speeches
which were begun last April have started
the people to thinking, and they have be-
come aroused. Senator Tillman has
answered my arguments by heaping per.
sonal abuse upon me. He threatened to
90 out among the mill operators and
arouse them against the mill owners if
continued urging the expansion policy
and the carrying of American products In
American bottoms. Expansion is not i'm
perialism; the first is business question,
the other matter Of politics. 1t is fool
ishness for anybody to claim that man
can not believe in a ship subsidy, the car
rying of American exports in American
bottoms, and expansion without being a
Republican. am going into the prima-
ries in South Carolina next fall, and ex-
pect to defeat Senator Tillman."

stratiOn on the Part of
The Other Powers.
The Other Powers.

New York, August 13.-Chapain II. w.
Jones, of the United States Navy, in de.
livering an address in the Church Of
Strangers, tonight, made the startling de-
claration that during the war with Spain
England had concentrated off two points
63 warships with which TO oppose any
demonstrate of the Powers against the
United States. Chaplain Jones said
"When at Barbados we had an English
officer of high rank on board our ship. The
conversation turned on the Powers opposed
to us during the Spanish American war.
During the talk the British officer said
Gentlemen, perhaps you know that
England was with you, bnt you have no
idea Of what England really did for you,
l vas on leave when the Spanish Ameri-
can war broke out and, together with sew
era other officers, vas Immediately order
ed back to duty. We held at two points
63 of our ships waiting to be ordered out
in case of any naval demonstration being
made against the United States by the
other Powers. If any such demonstration
had been made we would have headed
them off"
Chaplain Jones was on the battieship
Texas during the war and was wounded
during the battle Of Santiago and landed
under fire at Guantanamo, where, under
fire of Spanish soldiers, he read the burial
service over the marines killed at that
point.

ANOTHER STORM.
Brldqe Over Watauga River Goes Down
Second Time.

Bristol, Tenn, Aug. 13.-East Tennes'
see and Southwest Virginia experienced a
damaging freshet this morning for the
third time during the season.
A twelve. foot tide in the Watauga river
swept away the temporary bridge on the
Southern Railway at Watauga Station at
8 O'Clock this morning. This structure
had taken the place of the iron bridge
that was wrecked in the May tide. A
portion of a train of cars loaded with pig
iron placed upon the bridge to hold it,
went down fifty feet to the water.
The same tide damaged bridges on the
Virginia and Southwestern railway. Be-
tween Inmen and Intermont Junction on
this road, two miles of track and three
trestles are washed away. One residence
near Inman was carried away by the tide
No fatalities are reported.
1t will probably be five days before
trains are again running on the East Ten
nessee branch of the Southern railway.
