We have sold over 400 Sayers &
Scovill buggies out through this
country, and we believe nearly every
body knows the fine quality of these
buggies. If you donot go, talk with
someone that has used one OF them
for several years, and he will quickly
tell you. The Sayers & Scovill bug
gy has taken first premium over all
Others for the last 20 years. Wecan-
not say too much for the Peoria

them to the parties that are using
them.
All the above goods we have men,

best brands Of goods manufactured,
and they cost more money than the
average goods, and why not buy
them from US. If we are willing to
sell them to you as cheap as other
goods will cost you, you should give
this some thought the BEST is

it doesn't cost you any more.

master / will wait, but as it is late he
must not expect me to tarry long for his
coming
The man hurried away, and Reginald
went on, only to fall into an ambuscade
of seamen who felled him with a blow
and then rained more blows upon him
until be was unconscious. lie was pro-
vented from crying out by heavy cloak
being wrapped tightly about his head.
He had struggled SO fercely that the
men were more harsh than they desired
to be, and it was late in the morning ere
he came to sense of recollection of all
which had befallen him. One of the
officers of the ship CHANGED to be we'll
known to him and was greatly surprised
to find in the captured man one of high
standing, for the custom was to press
into service only those of the lowly sort.
Reginald's expostulations were not those
of feeble order, as may be supposed,
and by their vehemence induced the
young officer to consult his superiors.
He found, as he supposed, that they
were as Ignorant as himself, that the
captured man had been returning from
the Governors fete where he was guest
and that he was close friend of Lieu
tenant Digby.
So the matter was inquired into, when
the facts so damaging to the Governor
came to the surface, and at the knowl-
edge of his treachery to a guest and
double dealing generally, they were
much incensed. Reginald was released
on the spot, fully enlightened as to what
the Governors intentions were.
And SO in less than twenty-four hours
after the capture of his rival, the Gov
ernor had the torturing experience of
meeting the young man face to face in
his afternoon ramble. Reginald took off |
his cooked hat and made low bow to |
his doughty enemy as he said, politely:
Il wish Your Excellency a very good
morning and that your plans may pros
per better in the future"
"Zounds! what do you mean? I have
no plans that have gone amiss."
'Then Captain Tenney of the Mistress |
Mary spoke falsely, and as it was of a |
matter that only occurred over night,
l wonder he should do so."

at was you who named it, Your Ex'
cellency. 1 said nothing about press
gangs" and with a low bow, Reginald
left the Governor to his reflections, which
were of the utmost chagrin at his folly
as we'll as of fear at the result.
1 might make this story of the olden
time much longer by reciting the love OF
Lieutenant Digby and Portia until the
courtship reached its happy conclusion
by grand wedding at which the Gov
erner gave away the bride and at which
Priscilla attended out of love for her
friend; but she was not guest at the
gubernatorial mansion this time, having
received from her lover full recital OF
the Governors perfidy.
And might write of the happy court
shsp of Reginald and Priscilla, but l will
not, for it was not eventful from this
time onward, but as simply idyllic as
may well be imagined. The wedding
was very quiet, and the young couple
kept house in an unostentations manner
in the town of Newcastle, the house, or
the site of it, being shown to this day,
for in the course of time Reginald Stan
ley became man of great wealth and
standing in the republic. The Governor
never forgave the young couple, but it
mattered not to them nor to the people,
and there were many who knew the real
reason of his hatred of them. In time
His Excellency married widow pos
sessed of much beauty, money and tenn
per, who led him life not to be envied.
The doctor prospered to his wicked
end; sweet Prudence became a memory
because of her unhappy life just as the
other sweet P's are recollected because
of their long and joyous lives, and be-
cause they reared to manhood and
womanhood noble sons and daughters,
whose children and grandchildren live
honored and respected lives in the midst
OF the scenes described in these annals

more loudly than words, and when the
young man said ardentIy, "You know
not how I have longed for this timel''
and she failed to reply at all, he could
imagine the shy looks in her eyes and
the deep love in his, until he gnashed
his teeth in anger at his impotency, hid

sion while they dallied and philandered
at their ease.
When he left his concealment he went
directly to the scullery and desired that
his valet be sent to him in his study.
Presently the servant came and was inn
mediately dispatched with message to a
member of the gang whose name chanced
to have come to his cars only the day be-
fore.
"You will probably find him at the
sign OF The Boar in the tap room. Tell
him the Governor desires his presence,
and do you bring him yourself to this
room in ten minutes time, and, sirrah

Eyes, Your Excellency."
In ten minutes time sleek, willy indi-
vidual of powerful muscles and rolling
gait came into His Excellency's study,
and pulling his forelock, desired to know
the cause of his summons. Signing his
valet to leave the room, the Governor
said in his grandest manner:
II know your officers well, or used SO
to do in times past, and I am minded to
do them favor. A young friend of
mine has taken to wild ways and vexes
his family beyond endurance. Now they
think that few years of strict discipline
such as he would get aboard ship, would
do him the greatest good, and thus 1 have
been asked to see that he was pressed
into service. 1t is q secret, mind, and if
it ever leaks out will bring you into
trouble"
"And you too, sir, I take it," said the
man, with tipsy impudence.
The Governor frowned.
NAY, not me, for only speak for the
young mans relatives"
'But how shall we know him?
Il will show you. Here, throw this
long cloak over your garments, and l will
point him out to you from the hall. You
must stand in the shadow"
"Aye, aye, SIR"
And SO presently Reginald Stanley,
looking into the hall, saw, gazing straight
At himself, two searching, glowering eyes,

A SERIOUS CHARGE.

The charge is made, which according
to Washington advices is we'll founded,
that the naval attache Of the British
embassy some time since took sound
ings In Tampa harbor and made charts
locating channels by which torpedo
boats may reach our stations there
without using the defended approaches.
1t Is said that he also made close OBJ
servations OF the forti1cations of
Egmont Key and in other ways secured
military information which nations do
not, as a rule. communicate to each
other. A few days ago the charge was
referred to in the British House Of Com
mons and the statement made that the
government mad been informed that the
allegation was unfounded. 1t appears
however, that the facts are sufficiently
well established to have been taken
under consideration by the Washington
authorities.
If we'll founded the charge is a Sc,
rious one, particularly so If the sound.
ings and observations of the British Off
Ger were taken by direction Of the gov
eminent. Investigation Of naval and
military conditions, with a view espe'
clally to discovering weak or vulnerable
points, may be part Of the duty of for.
eign naval and military attaches, but
If so it would be we'll, al suggested by
the Washington Post, to do away with
them. The charge against the attache
of the British embassy should certainly
be investigated and his government
called to account if it is responsible fol
his alleged work in Tampa harbor. II
due to his own zeal his transfer tr
another field of activity would be de
sirable.
