One of the promoters of the Montgom-
cry Traction Company. in speaking of
the plans in view. said:
You can state that we shall do all we
have promised and more, but of course
all our work cannot be accomplished at
once and consistently with thoroughness
of execution our plans will be matured
as rapidly as possible
From what those In charge of the con-
struction are now able to Judge 1t seems
safe to say that the line to Pickett
Springs will be In operation not later
As soon as this division of their pro-
posed system Is completed the promoters
say work will begin by the Montgomery
Traction Company on other sections of
the city. and be carried forward without
delay.

tenant joined him.
I'm not worIyin' much about him"
said the skipper. but there's a fellow

land that we may have some trouble
with"
Mr.. Perkins looked in the direction
indicated and caught sight of thirty
two gun frigate bearing down on them
rapidly.
After prolonged look around the
horizon. first ut the oncoming frigate
then ar the frigates and liners driving
along in the green surGes astcrn, Cap
tain Nantor cried: Mr.. Perkins, send
the men below and get up the ballast
That single decker to lizard is a faster
vessel than give them credit for hav-
in. Wen have to tighten ship if we
git away from him after we give our
friend ahead the slip"
The critical moment was fast ap-
preaching, as both vessels were going
through the water ut great speed.
Each WAS converging on the other. If
they held their courses, Il collision was
inevitable.
You'll be into him in a minute: sir"
cried the lieutenant.
Il hope he'll think so. Mr.. Perkins,"
was the calm reply. Steady as you
CO. he said to the quartermaster as
that officer showed signs of uneaSineSS.
Those on board the frigate were una
bic to account for the action of the
brig. and the Englishman fell off Il
point or two. This was the moment
for which Captain Mantor had been
waiting. AS the frigate waved TO lee
ward on Il big wave he cried Sharply
to his own quartermaster, "Luff. you
rascal. luff."
The brig the next instant swung up
into the wind and darted across the
bows of the frigate so close that the
orders of the officer could be plainly
heard. Then the sides OF the English
man broke forth in smoke and flame,

around the daring Yankee. But two
struck the brig. One cut away her an

aboard at the lee bow and. traverSing

Captain Mantor and went over the
stern, taking part of the taffrail with it.
Not much damage for all that fuss

Before the frigate could come about
the Ida was well out of gunshot, slip
ping through the waves like n startled
deer. AS the ballast was got up and
thrown over the side the speed of the
little vessel increased. and the frigate
astorn, which before had been gaining
slowly on the chase. now barely held
her own. Well astern the big line of
battle ships c@ne pounding through
the green surges. while several war
briggs and schooners stretched out on
either side to prevent any doubling on
the part of the Yankee.
Overheard with some of the guns

side battery were dropped. The frigate
did not gain so much. Over with the
remainder of the guns. Mr.. Perkins,

How to Prevent Group.

1t will be good news to the mothers
of small children to learn that Group
can be prevented. The first sign of
Group is hoarseness. \ day or two be-
fore the attack the child becomes
hoarse. This is soon followed by a
peculiar rough cough. Give Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy as soon as the
child becomes hCarse, or even after
the rough cough appears. and it viii
dispel all symptoms of Group. In this
way all danger and anxiety may be
avoided. This remedy is used by
many thousands of mothers and has
never been known to fail. 1t is. in
fact, the only remedy that can always
be depended upon and that is pleas
ant and safe to take. For sale by all

On came the schooner. her guns run
out, with crew at quarters. When the
two vessels were within gunshot, there
came hail from the schooner. Sur
render, my fine fellow, or well blow
you out of the water!'
For answer Captain Mantor let the
brig fall off so her broadside would

That q little Yankee brig would at
tempt to fight one of his ma jesty's
warships in the face of the feet was
thought that had not for a moment
crossed the Englshman's mind. and
the broadside was q complete surprise.
In consequence the answering response
from the schooner went wild, the shot
doing no damage aside from cutting
few ropes The broadside from the Ida
had been better aimed and found its
mark in the bows of the schooner,
whose jibboom hung over her side,
leaving her head sails in a hopeless
tangle. The vessel shot up into the

Finally it was decided that when
the tide ran ebb next day they would
make an attempt to force passage.
At noon the next day the three yes
sells weighed anchor and stood up for
the nOrthGrly passage with batteries

passage it was seen that it was cOrlsed
