lhink of Margaret! But-but-to
Be sure, you never harmed her, and I
owe my life to you and yours" said
Burns. He stood q moment in
silence, and then added:
"Your secret is safe with me so
long as you do not interfere with
with my purpose. To accomplish
chat I would, if I could, destroy
heaven and earth and all that is in
them. I tell you that Kirk Mace
Tough shall not live!"
; His tone was solemnly awful. Mr..
Vernon felt helpless before him.
They stood there in silence after that
until, suddenly, light flashed forth
irom the house where General Jack.
son had his headquarters.
+ Gentlemen, it is time to be up"
they heard the grutf commander ez-
claim, as If to awaken his sleeping
staff, the redcoats will be upon us
before we are. ready, if we don't step
spry. Come, come, gentlemen, Sall
out!"
! Immediately there was q stir and
hustle in the house. Lights shown at
the windows and the clicking OF
latches and the opening OF doors told
how promptly the officers responded
to the call of their leader. A moment
later jackson himself came forth, fol-
lowed by the enthusiastic but sleepy
aides, who were buckling on their
side-arms.
"Ah, Mr.. Vernon, is that you?" he
demanded, as he came near the two
old men. "How goes everything?
Any stir among the redcoats?"
''Not yet," replied Mr.. Vernon,
"save that they seem to be making
ready for an advance"
"Let them come; we are ready. Who
is this you have with you?"
The general peered askance at Burns
through the fog and dust.
'Jt is q friend of mine," said Mr..
Vernon, without offering further in
PRODUCTION.
The members of Jackson's staff
were coming around him for orders,
which he began giving with his usual
swift and clear understanding Of what
the moment called for. Meantime
Barns managed TO disappear.

Burns's words fell upon M. Yer
mons ears with o strange power. II
WAS not the crazed old preachers pur-
bose that struck with most terrible
Effect. It Was what lay beyond even
ahe most perfect consummation OF re-
yenpe. There seemed little proba-
bility, indeed, that Burns could ever
do harm to the man he was trying to
follow; but what he might do with
the mere breath of his frenzied lips
was incomparably dreadful to think OF.
Strange 1t is that, although Mr..
Vernon had not the slightest assur.
ance OF the safety OF his wife and
daughter from even the most horrible
eonseo uences that could come ont OF
their captivity, he felt their danger
from that source far less than what
would befall them were his past to be
made known to them. Somehow, so
Tong as he had Jackson's army with
him he could not lose the hope that all
would be we'll, SO far rs retaking his
loved ones was concerned.
This was but q matter of fight. But
the other! That was not to be fought
back, once it should find the way to
reach them. He felt that Burns, IN
his monomania, was likely at any mo-
ment to make an end of all this beau
tiful, precious dream of happiness.
Happiness? All! He had been
happy-no man happier-but now,
what was coming? Where were his
wife and daughter? He felt his brain
swim and waver.
Suddenly he grasped Burns's arms
again .sll his giaut strength.

MERELY A PAPER ROAD
REBATES WE'RE PAID To AN AL
LEGGED MYTHICAL RAILWAY.
Money, However, Is Said to Have Gone
to q Salt Mine Company-Mr.
Prouty's Investigation.

HUTCHINSON, Kan, Dec. SC. A.
Prouty. of the Interstate-commerce Com
mission, to-day made an investigation of
the alleged rebates granted by railroads to
the Hutchinson Salt Company. 1t was
charged that the Hutchinson g. Arkansas
River Railway existed on paper merely
for the purpose of obtaining rate conces-
sions from other roads and thus obtaining
an advantage over the independent salt OPP
orators. Commissioner Prouty decided that
such rebates had been given and ordered
them to be discontinued.
JOY Morton, president of the salt COM
pany. said that about $4,000 had been paid
in rebates this year. w. K. Biddle. freight
traffic manager of the Santa Fe, testified
that a deal was made wherebyin the division
Of the tariff rs per cent. was to be paid to
the alleged paper railroad. which the COM
mission afterward decided was owned by
the salt company. Mr.. Biddle would not
admit that the rebate had gone to the salt
company.
The inquiry was not finished to-day. Mr..
Prouty said he would inspect the books of
the treasurer of the salt company's road
and would take further testimony in Chi
cago on Dec %. Judge Prouty further an
nounced that the roads participating in the
issuance of the joint tariff would be sub
ject to q fine, as well as j. p. Tracy, who
solicited the rebates.

ALLEGED PLOT In PANAMA.
Supposed Conspiracy to XIII General
Huertas, Commander of the Army.

COLON, Dec. 5.-Through a letter the
Panama government has discovered what is
alleged to be a plot against the life of
General Huertas, commander in chief of the
forces of the Republic Of Panama, and an
effort on the part of a few army officers to
persuade the garrison at Panama to revolt.
If such plot really existed it was promptly
nipped in the bud by the apprehension this
morning at Panama of four alleged con-
spirators, who were Immediately brought
under guard to Colon and shipped hence to
Port Limon, Costa Rica.
The prisoners were all born in the interior
of Colombia and have been on the isthmus
for several years. They were members of
the Colombian battalion which gave its sup
port to the new government when the re-
public was formed and which was COM
manded by General Huertas. They all took
the oath of allegiance to the new republic
and continued TO serve in the army. One of
them is colonel of the name of Ferol, two
are majors and the fourth is the adjutant
of General Huertas. They declare that the
charge that they were engaged In a con-
spiracy is the work of personal enemies

CRIPPLE CREEK. Col, Dec. 5.-The
declaration OF martial law has paralyzed
business in this city. Hoavily-armed pick
cts OF the National Guard are stationed on
all street corners and many residents Of the
city do not venture upon the streets. Pro-
vost Marshal Thomas +. McClelland is oc-
cupying the mayors office. He has caused
the arrest OF several persons, but no i'm
portant arrests have yet been made.
Following the suppression of editorial
IN the Victor Record, Provost Marshal Nc
Clelland threatened to cut of Cripple Creek
from the outside world by locking up the
correspondents OF the Denver papers and
to censor all matters to be sent to the Den
yer papers. Major Naylor, commanding
officer In the absence Of Colonel Verdeck-
berg. stated to-day that a news censor from
the city OF Denver would arrive in the dis
trfct and be in charge OF all news TO be
published in the future. The name OF the
censor he has not divulged.
In consequence OF Governor Peabodys or
der placing Teller county under martial
law, a committee OF the womens auxiliary
OF the labor unions In this city, numbering
200 members. has sent telegram to Presi-
dent Roosevelt appealing to him FOR pro-
lection against the unjust rulings Of the
Governor Of the State"

The fog in London during the early hours

Through this cause many shops had to be

WILL AGAIN TRY TO FLY
LANGLEY's AERODROME TO BE CIV
EN- A TRIAL AT WASHINGTON.
Was Ready to Take a Soar or Tumble
Yesterday, but Wind Conditions
Were Unfavorable.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 5.-The big sixty
foot aerodrome of Prof. Samuel P. Lang
ley. the secretary of the Smithsonian Insti-
tuition, which was unsuccessfully launched
several months ago, was prepared for an
other experiment to-day but unfavorable
wind conditions prevented the test The
machine has been put into perfect order
and Is ready to be hoisted on to the super
structures for another trial at the first OPP
portunity, possibly Monday No attempt
will be made to hoist the machine into
position until the wind is less than twelve
miles an hour, in order to avoid possible
danger to the men engaged in the work.
who might be swept into the stream there
by.
F. NJ. Manley, Professor Langley's chief
assistant in the flying machine researches,
and who has been actively directing the
plans and preparations, was aboard the
houseboat all day with his force Of me-
chanics, and Thomas w. Smile, the off,
cial photographer of the Smithsonian In
stitution, has his rapid-fire camera pre-
pared to make the official Photographic
records of the flight. Professor Manley
a number of times during the day, but at
no time did conditions warrant an attempt
at flying. Mr.. Manley left the boat after
o'clock this afternoon merely saying that
ii had been impracticable to attempt the
launching. and that he could not with any
certainty predict when the aerodrome would
be given another test. Both he and Pro-
fessor Langley say there had been no
change whatever either in the motor, the
launching mechanism or any other part
of the flying machine apparatus.
The next experiment will be made in all
probability off the government arsenal
in this city, and the confluence OF the Po-
tomac river and its eastern branch, which
offers a broad sweep for the test. As soon
as the flight Is determined on Secretary
Langley will be advised and the ordnance
board OF the army, which made an appro-
priation out Of its funds for the expert
ment, will be notified so that it's representa-
tives may be present as official witnesses.

TROUBLE is BEGINNING
FOR THE NEW AGENCY.
New jersey Glass Company Sues for
Injunction Against the Selling Pool
and the workers Association.

PITTSBURG. Dec. 5.-A suit was entered
in the United States Circuit Court here
which may have the effect of putting an
end to the new national selling agency for
window glass almost before it has got down
to business.
The Palmer Window Glass Company, a
New Jersey corporation, which owns and
operates a sixty-pot window glass factory
at Single House, Potter county. this State,
entered a bill in equity against President
John Phillips, jr., and the Window Glass
Workers Association of America, asking
for a restraining order to prevent the as
ISOLATION Withdrawing the scale which it
presented to the firm and from threatening
to expel or expelling members of the asso-
citation working in the factory of the plain
tiff. The bill alleges that the plaintiff re-
fused to join in the formation of poll or
selling agency, and because of this the de-
PENDANTS have threatened to withdraw the
scale and have visited the factory for the
purpose of inducing the workmen to strike.
Judge Burlington granted a preliminary
restraining order.

But Held Out No Hope that the Gem
erals Mission to Washington
Would BE Successful.
NO DEFINITE PROPOSITION
PRESIDENT DISCUSSED PERSONAL
MATTERS WITH HIS VISITOR,
Finally Referring Him to Secretary
Hay for Further Information-Al-
legged Plot I'm Panama.

WASHINGTON, Dec Seen. Rafael
Reyes. the special minister from Colombia,
practically initiated his mission when he
called upon President Roosevelt at the
White House to-day and told him why he
had come to Washington General Reyes
was accompanied to the White House from
the State Department by Secretary Hay,
who introduced him to the President, and
by DR.. Herran, the Colombian charge. The
presentation took place in the Blue parlor,
where all regular ambassadors and minis
tiers are received. but the President infused
so much cordially into his greeting that
this occasion was a little out Of the ordi-
nary. There was no exchange of formal
speeches. though the Colombians were pre-
pared to do so in case of need. Instead the
President greeted General Reyes informal
ly as a former acquaintance, having met
him when the general visiting the
United States some time ago.
Instead of standing to receive his callers,
as is the case in ordinary diplomatic pre-
sensations, the President himself sat down
and invited General Reyes to a seat beside
him. The two then entered upon an Animal
ed conversation, which touched upon some
notable exploits in General Reyes's life,
with which the President seemed to be
more or less familiar, and gradually drifted
around to the subject of General Reyes s
mission. There was no definite proposition
advanced by the Colombians for the Presi-
dent intimated that the Panama problem
was a matter with which the State Depart
ment alone could properly deal. So the con-
versation on this point closed with an
understanding that General Reyes, who now
regards his mission as duly launched,
should hereafter make any representations
respecting Panama that he cared to breach
TO Secretary Hay. Nevertheless there was
just enough intimation in the President s
talk to make his callers aware that he saw
little prospect Of being able to meet their
wishes.
