 beat rapidly. Blinkie did not lose his composure for the reason that he did not understand what the officer was saying. but he knew that it was some thing serious from his impressive man
 Ter in reading the findings of the
 court.
 Willie bowed moclsingly to the officer
 when he had concluded and said,
 "I.racioa, senor captain" He then
 turned to Blinkie and told him quietly
 that they had been condemned to be shot the second day from that. having
 been found guilty by the court Of being spies, principally upon the evidence of fered by the traitor Morris.
 Blinkie rolled his eyes and shot a venomous glance at Morris, who was standing and grinning a the men. who | had beth risked their lives to save his own worthless life when he was drowning. Blinkie returned the grin with Q shake of his fist at Morris. say ing. "I-you are W-Worse than a greas- CT. y-y-you d-d-damn traitor, and even if W-W-We are s-s-shot l will come | back to d-d-dance a your f-f-funeral." Morris laughed at Blinkie's after | death threat and pleasantly remarked l that it would be a great day>for him when ne saw them both lined up in | front Of d firing squad. He asked | them if they wished to send any word
 back to their friends.
 "Oh, by the way, Corporal Jones' what message shall I give to Miss Meeker when l see her? No doubt she will be pleased to hear that you de- | serted your command and joined the l Spaniards; ha. ha. ha, Won't she feel proud of her cowboy champion and sol

 marks he started for the door, but when he reached it and had placed his
 hand on the knob, he turned and made | a low bow to the prisoners. As he straightened the door was swung open 1 and two persons entered; one was an officer, and the other 9 lady of great
 beauty, evidently Cuban. As Morris 1 saw her his face became Wreathed in smiles and taking her hand he bowed | low over it. She returned the saluta- i ton sweetly and made a light remark
 to him. The officer with her scowled l at Morris and muttered something that was not heard. The Cuban beauty smilingly bowed | to the officers assembled and said that

On the Nacadsmized Highways
Throughout the County.

The board Of commissioners OF New
Hanover county held a special meeting
at moor yesterday { o open bids for the
5000 of road ponds which the county
issued a few months ago for the pur-
pose of building good roads in this
county.
All the members of the board were In
attendance, viz: Chairman D. McEach-
ern and Commissioners Gabriel Holmes,
r. A. Montgoery, J. F. Alexander and
H. L. Vollers. There were also present
Mr.. John S. Armstrong, vice president
of the Atlantic national bank OF this
city, Mr.. John B.. Thayer representing
bus, O., and Mr.. ]. B.. Works, represent
rs Messrs. Seagood 6 Mayer, bankers
and brokers, of Cincinnati, o.
Chairman McEachern stated that the
object of the meeting was to open the
bids according TO h advertisement
calling for proposals.
The following bids were then opened,
the amount over and above $50. 900 rep
resenting the premium offered:
FEEDER. Holman & Co., Cincinnati, o..
$50, Z62. so.
John S. Armstrong, Of Wilmington.

Cincinnati, O.. $50, 520.6 60.
Denison. Price & Co., ot Cleveland.
O., 81, O27.
After considering the bids, the board
awarded the bonds to Mr.. Armstrong
The bid of FEEDER. Holman & Co.. was
the largest but it was rejected by the
board as it was not in due form as to
to the forfeiture in case they did not
comply with their bid.
The bonds which have Just been dis
posed of were issued as the res ult of an
election held on the 18th of last July
Under the act of the General Assembly
authorizing an election to vote on the
question of issuing $50. 900 in bonds for
Inc construction of good roads,. Soon
after the election the bonds were sold
out subsequently the purchasers were
asked to be released from their obliga-
lion to take them, their contention be-
ing that the bonds were lnvalidated
from the fact that the act or the Gen
eral Assembly under which the cleo
ton was held vas not passed in the
CONSTITUTIONS form. Inc purchaser
were cheerfully released and a test case
was carried up to the supreme court
which held that bonds issued under the
election would be valid. Consequently
bios for the bonds were advertised foI
again and the bonds were sold without
difficulty.
The bids show the credit Of New
Hanover county is good. and hat heI
binds are in demand. The bonds rur
Tor % years and Gear Az per cent. in

is favorable the Castle Haynes roa6
Will be completed and then the convict
