Maxwell listened silently without in
terrupting her. Not until she had
finished her story did he ask few
brief, direct questions.
"Is Captain Wilson still in Spring
tield?"
mo. I heard from Ralph that he
rode away half an hour ago.
And when do you expect your fam
lily physician and the real Doctor
Rlackwood?"
Toward evening. They will not
arrive before seven o'clock"
well, then, we shall have a few
hours at our disposal. Can you rely
upon this old man? Implicitly"
Ralph was the friend and conf
dant of my childhood. He is devoted
to me with all his soul, and will do
anything to save William. Won't you,
Ralph?'
She had summoned the old servant
by gesture. He laid his hand upon
his heart.
Yes, Miss Florence-anything."
Maxwell looked keenly at him a few
minutes, and seemed satisfied
Miss Harrison's lover is to be res
cued," he said will you help u.s."
Yes, master, as much as I can"
Then first inform Mr.. Harrison
that l must remain here for the pres
emit, as his uncle's death may take
place at any moment But must re-
quest him not to enter the sick cham
Der. Miss Florence does not wish it.
Then find out for me in what part of
house Lieutenant Roland is imprison-
ed and whether it is possible to reach
him unseen. This can easily be learn
ed from the servants; but be careful
to rouse no suspicion"
Ralph's face showed that he clearly
understood the Importance of the COM
mission. He promised in a whisper
to obey exactly and then glided noise
lessly out Of the room. Maxwell again
turned to Florence, who seemed some
what sustained by his presence

soon as you are at liberty, Ralph
shall announce, apparently in great
trepidation, that his young mistress
has suddenly disappeared He has
looked for her in vain. OF course, she
can be only in one place. Harrison
will rush here as fast as possible to
Illustrate the attempt at liberation,
and we shall have him in our hands.
Then he can occupy the place which
he so kindly selected for you, and you
can use his marriage contract-the
simplest exchange possible
But that is partial deception re-
piled William. Am I secretly craft
lily, to steal a right which was prom
ised me openly in the presence of all
the world? Am I to urge Florence to
robs her of father
stop, Will! My patience is being
exhausted" Maxwell angrily inter-
rupted. Don't bother me again with
your German slowness and stupidity,
or I'll leave you behind bolts and bars.
One can't lead good fortune straight
to your arms. You must first inspect
it on all sides-subject it to a critical
examination-to ascertain whether it
is thoroughly ideal and free from
earthly dross; and meanwhile the
light, airy thing flutters out of your
hands. In short, do you want to mar
ry Florence or not?"
''Of course I do. But
Very we'll, then, the matter is set
tied. Leave the rest to me. True,
it's abominable to expect a best man
first to drag the bridegroom from be-
hind so many iron bars, but you must
have some unusual circumstance con-
nected with it. One thing more: OF
course you have no weapons"
Should l have been captured other
wise? I certainly would not have sur
rendered with arms in my hands"
II anticipated that and concealed
two pistols about me. There, now I've
finished. Try your strength and see
if you can tear out the grating"
The file had worked unweariedly all
the time, had cut through the larger
portion Of the grating and loosened the
rest, but the iron still held. William
tugged and shook in vain, and there
was no more time to lose. But the
consciousness of danger lent the
young man unnatural strength. After
a few unsuccessful efforts he again
seized the grating and with a last.

DO you really mean to try to reach
William" she asked. Suppose that
you should be discovered and recog-
nized as his friend?"
John shrugged his shoulders.
Then we shall probably be shot to-
gether. Yes, Miss Harrison, a faint
ing fit will be quite superhuous here
and cannot serve us in the least If
you are not resolute, the game will be
lost; and l tell you frankly that it
is a matter of life and death. We
shall undoubtedly be considered spies,
and your cousin will certainly do
nothing to clear up the error. This
is the exact state of the case. Will
you lie here, fainting, while it is de-
cided, or will you do what you can to
help"
These blunt words fulfilled their pur-
pose. What William, with all his con-
sideration and tenderness, had failed
to- do, his friends sharpness accom-
plished. Florence, who was really on
the verge of fainting, rallied her
strength. Her voice still trembled yet
thrilled with kindling energy as she
replied:
Il am not so weak as you imagine.
[ have courage for anything where
William is concerned. Tell me what
l am to do"
For the present you must remain
quietly here, but be ready to respond
at any moment if I call you. This
room has another door, l see; so
can leave it, unobserved, while I am
supposed to be engaged in my profess
sional duties. After the message
sent to Mr.. Harrison, he will probably
remain near, expecting further news
But If he doesn't-if he discovers
and surprises you-if the doctors
should arrive a few hours earlier-'
Yes, but one must not take the
| ifs into account in such enterprises, ="
said Maxwell, carelessly. Several
! hundred ifs menaced me when I rode
after that obstinate William, yet here
I am, and my identity is wholly I'M
! suspected which is enough for the
beginning."
He again approached the sick bed
where his prediction was being full
flied. Death was approaching slowly
but calmly and without suffering, and

CHAPTER X.


Meanwhile the justice and his clerk
were seated at a Widespread table in
the dlnlng-room, which also looked
out upon the garden. Edward could
not send the gentlemen, who had TAX
en- the long ride in vain, back to the
city Immediately; so he had invited
them to dinner. Mr.. Thompson could
not find words enough to express his
regret and sympathy for the sorrow
overhanging the household, but he
saw no reason why he should not have
comfortable meal on that account.
He thought it perfectly natural that
Edward should excuse himself and re-
main in the drawing-room. No one
could feel offended with the grief
stricken nephew, but he himself dis
cussed all the more eagerly the good
things set before him, and was ably
supported by his clerk
The old gentleman only regretted
Doctor BlackWOod's Absence and adj
mlred the sense of duty which would
not permit him even to appear at din
ner. He was just giving his factotum
discourse concerning this distin-
gulshed physician, at the same TINA
helping himself to a large piece of
roast meat. His factotum listened
most dutifully and took still larger
slice, when the subject Of the con-
versation suddenly entered
"Ah, there you are, Doctor Black
wood" cried the judge. "Sit down.
Unfortunately you have come little
late. We have had the roast serv-
ed"
The doctor bowed in the most
charming manner, and signed to the
servant, who had just brought in the
dishes, to leave the room
Thank you. I am very sorry to dis
turb you, but there is a business mat
ter to be settled, which admits of no
delay"
"A business affair? Is there a will
to be made?"
mo, on the contrary, the matter
concerns wedding"
Mr.. Thompson dropped his knife
and fork and stared at the speaker in
the utmost astonishment
"The ceremony is put off, Mr. Har-
rison told me himself that he was
compelled to defer it for the present."
"Certainly, and he will probably do
so altogether; but another person has
taken his place-Mr. William Roland"
What? What did you call him."
IN.
have entirely changed, and unfortu-
nately I have not time to explain them
to you in detail. But, in the name of
the betrothed couple, l beg of you to
perform the wedding ceremony at
once"
The magistrate leaned back in his
chair, assuming a dignifed attitude
and solemn, official manner.

kNEELING BE SIDE THE BED.

Doctor Maxwell! Is it you?"
Hush! Don't mention my name"
said Maxwell in low. impressive
tone. Il pass here as Doctor Black
wood, and we are not alone
He glanced significantly at the ne
gro, whose attention had been attract
ed but Florence made an eager ges-
ture of dissent.

need fear no treachery from him. l

so much the better But, first:
What has happened here? 1 am look
ing for William. Isn't he in SPRING
field?'
Eyes, he is here, but prisoner, be-
trayed by Edward, and just at the mo-
ment they dragged him away from me
this severe, perhaps fatal attack, came
on. Doctor Maxwell, will my father
die?"
John Maxwell did not answer the de-
spairing question at once. The. first
glance at Harrison had told him that
it must be in the affirmative, but he
bent over the patient, felt of his
pulse and placed his hand upon his
heart 1t was short but careful ex-
animation.
Yes, Miss Harrison" he said at
last. ut is useless to withhold the
truth; you must face it; but the
struggle is over, and the end will be
painless. He will probably not re-
cover his consciousness.
Florence, sobbing aloud covered her
face with both hands, but Maxwell
allowed her no time to give way to
her grief.
And now for the living" he con-
tinued. Calm yourself. Another life
is at stake, as dear to you as the one
now vanishing"
"William?' cried the young girl, in
terror. SIS his life threatened? They
concealed it from me. They spoke
only of Imprisonment. For heaven S
sake, tell me the TRUTH
FIRST of all, you must tell me what
has happened. have just arrived and
know none of the particulars.'
Taking her hand, he led her to the
window, where Florence, in hurried
breathless whispers, Informed him OF
what had occurred.

protected American industry.

tention of contending for ship subsi.
dies IL any more feasible course can be
devised, but declared that il ship sub
sides would insure the United States
an adequate merchant marine then he
favored the measure.
AS the secretary of the treasury
pointed ont. il is not alone the situa-
tion in times OF peace that must be
considered. but conditions in time OF
war. During the Spanish war the
United States purchased or chartered
no less than 40 foreign vessels Aid
meantime every city on the Atlantic
or Gulf coasts was in fear of sudden
attack from the squadron which was
reported to have sailed from Spain.
In case Of war between European pow :.
ers American commerce would be left
helpless, for only about 10 per cent il
at present carried in American ships.
There is still vast trade with
South America. South Africa and the
Orient to be developed. American
ship companies would find markets for
millions Of dollars worth of American
products and Secretary Shaw points
out that foreign market for mil.
lion dollars worth Of manufactured
products means u domestic market Of
at least $500, 900 worth of labor.

w. C. JOHN WON BY
A NOSE IN A DRIVE,

w. c. John was the third favorite to
reward the talent. He opened at 3
to g. but went UP in the betting, as
a large amount of money went in on
Graham Green keeping his price down
to the opening mark, which was eight
to five. Also Dan II. finished a short
nose behind the winner, and Emmett
Orr, who made the most sensational
run of the day, was a good third. John
was the first to break when the bar
rier went up, but soon dropped back
to fourth place, where he hung until
the turn into the stretch. Singleton
shook him up there and he slowly
wore the leaders down until he nosed
Also Pan, out for the lead. Graham
Green was the first to break at the
start, but was clearly out run all the
way. He finished absolutely last, de-
spite the fact that hot tip had been
passed around on him. Emmett Orr
got off sixth, and closed up an i'm
nnense amount OF ground, and was com
ing fast at the finish. With a little
better start he would probably have
won. Donna Bella, who got off seventh
also made a strong bid for the purse,
running all around the field until she
had the lead at the head of the
stretch. The terrific pace in running
around the field told on her and she
dropped back in the ruck, pulling up
at the finish.

Thursday night the bowling sea-

ises to be even more successful than
last season. A different and better
plan has been adopted and all of the
clubs will be brought together on each
bowling night
The league is made up from bowling
members of the Tomochichi Club, the

Not the number of games won, but
the total number of pins made by the
teams during the season will decide the

HEART BREAKING FINISH
IN THE FIRST EVENT

The finish in the first event of the
day was thrilling in the extreme, the
three leaders finishing heads apart,
George Ketchum, Jeff. and Queen of
Dixiana being the order in which they
finished. 1t was anybody's race until
the finish. and even then there were
many who could not determine who had
won. Ketchum, the winner. is a b. g.
by Hinyar, owned by Fred Kraft, held
at even money in the betting, winning
all out. jeff, second horse, is a Oh. g.,
owned by B. l.. Shaw and held at
twelves in the betting. Queen of Dix
lana, the third horse, is a CHI. M, own
ed by C. S. Wilson, driving.
After breaking three times at the
post the field was off to poor start.
George Ketchum being the first to
break, with Has Gift second and How
took the lead, and seemed to be in fo-
the finish, going easy. At the head of
the stretch Ketchum moved up and
all of the boys went to the whip. In
the turn they raced noses apart, Jeff,
Ketchum and Queen of DiXiana, Bed
lam dropping back to fourth place, I'M
able to keep the killing pace. Thus
they came on to the wire. Singleton
urged Ketchum to one final supreme
effort and fairly lifted him across the
wire a. nose in front of Jeff. The crowd
went wild when the field crossed the
tape, pronouncing it one of the best
races ever seen in Savannah. John
Croker said after the race that it was
as good as any that he had ever seen
at any track.

Philadelphia, Nov. 7.-Harvard to-day
defeated the University of Pennsyl-

by the score of II to 10. Pennsylvania
scored one touchdown in the first and
one in the second, while Harvard scored
twice in the opening half and once in
the final half.
Pennsylvania was outplayed at all
points. The score does not show the
marked superiority of the Harvard
eleven. Only twice during the entire
game we're the Quakers able to hold
the crimson eleven for downs. Penn

while their offense was smashed to
