night there was no danger Of its sail
ing without them. Soon the gates
opened, and the party rode to the Bow
and String, where Brandon had left
their chests. The men were then paid
off; quick sale was made of the horses;
breakfast was served, and they started
for the wharf, with their chests follow
ing in the hands Of four porters.
A boat soon took them aboard the
Royal Hind, and now it looked as if
their daring scheme, so full Of i'm
probability as to seem impossible, had
really come to a successful issue.
From the beginning, l think, it had
never occurred to Mary to doubt the
result. There had never been with her
even suggestion of possible failure,
unless it was that evening in our room,
when prompted by her startled mod
esty, she had said she could not bear
for us to see her in the trunk hose.
Now that fruition seemed about to
crown her hopes she was happy to her
hearts core, and when once to herself
wept for sheer joy. 1t is little wonder
she was happy. She was leaving be-
hind no one whom she loved excepting
Jane and perhaps me. No father nor
mother; only sister whom she barely
knew and a brother whose treatment
Of her had turned her heart against
him. She was also fleeing with the one
man in all the world for her and from
marriage that was literally worse
than death.
Our travellers were Of course greatly
in need Of rest, so Mary went to her
room and Brandon took berth in the
cabin set apart for the gentlemen.
They had both paid for their passage,
although they had enlisted and were
part of the ships company. They
were not expected to do sailors work.
but would be called upon in case Of
fighting to do their partial that. Mary
was probably as good a fighter in her
own way as one could find in long
journey, but how she was to- do her
part with sword and buckler Brandon
did not know. That, however, was a
bridge to he crossed when they should
come to it,. aJ..~~5f =. :sstz@ :r.s
Ihey had gone aboard about Z
o'clock, and Brandon hoped the ship
would be we'll down Bristol channel
before he should leave his berth. But

commence In Brandon, out that very
fact operated against her. Having that
confidence and trust in him, she felt
no need to waste her own energy in be-
ing brave. So she relaxed completely
and had the feminine satisfaction of
allowing herself to be thoroughly
frightened.
Is it any wonder Mary's gallant but
womanly spirit sank low in the face
Of all those horrors? She held out
bravely, however, and an occasional
clasp from Brandon's hand under cover
Of the darkness comforted her. When
all those terrors would not suggest even
thought of turning back, you may
Judge Of the character of this girl and
her motive.
They travelled on, galloping when
they could, trotting when they could
not gallop, and walking when they
must, and about midnight arrived at
the inn where the relay of horses was
awaiting them.
The inn was rambling old matched
roof structure, half mud, half wood
and all filth. There are many inns in
England that are tidy enough, but this
one was little off the main road-se-
lected for that reason-and the un-
cleanness was not the least of Mary's
trials that hard night She had not
tasted food since noon and felt the
keen hunger natural to youth and
health such as hers after twelve hours
of fasting and eight hours Of riding.
Her appetite soon overcame her repug-
nance, and she ate with zest that
was new to her the humblest fare that
had ever passed her lips. One often
misses the zest of life's joys by having
too much of them. One must want
thing before it can be appreciated.
A hard ride Of five hours brought our
travellers to Bath, which place they
rode around just as the sun began to
gild the tile roofs and steeples, and an
other hour brought them to Bristol.
The ship was to sail at sunrise, but
as the wind had died out with the

FINLAND,

Regarding Vaccination.

DR.. Geo. Corlett, of Cleveland, Ohio,
in an address at Warren last week,
said in regard to smallpox: "There is
but one preventative of smallpox that
has been known to act successfully and
that is vaccination. Aperfect vaccina-

Legislative Contest.

Last Thursday the House of Repre-

vened at Driftwood and a number of
witnesses were sworn and number of
strong points established without con-
tradiction. The charge of bribery and
and attempted bribery, as charged by
contestant, was clearly shown by repu-
table citizens. On Friday the commit
tee met at Emporium to hear the other
side, "show up that fellow Mullin."
After listening TO Assessor w. W.
Dickinson refute the charge that the
East Ward Registry had been padded
by him and placed the responsibility
upon the Commissioners office, the
committee waited in vain, for all those
witnesses promised, when they ad.

fruitless effort to disprove the allega.

BY mutual consent the Commission
adjourned to meet at Harrisburg,
March 3rd to hear the argument to be
made by counsel, after which the COM
mittee will render it's verdict to the
House.
The PRESS will publish, at the proper
time, the entire evidence as reported
by the official stenographer, that the
people may judge for themselves the
right or wrong of this controversy.

closing its labors here were entertain

drowned in the creek at that place
sometime after eight o'clock last We'd
nesday night, February 11th. Mr..
Stewart was last seen alive Wednesday
| evening by several persons, and as he
did not arrive home that night his wife
became alarmed, and began to make

Forest Commissioner Rothrock
Makes an Interesting Report
to the Governor

A resume of the work of the depart
ment of forestry for 1901 and 1902 was
sent to Governor Pennypacker yester-
day by Commissioner DR.. J. T. Roth
rock. 1t cites that it has become ap-
parent to all thinking persons that
there are certain natural laws which
must be maintained if the prosperity
of the state is to be maintained, and
that this can only be done by the state
recovering possession of the stream
heads of the state.
From 19, S04 acres of land in 1899 the
state possessions in forestry land have
increased to prospective possession of
half a million acres. The act of 1901 is
said to have been thoroughly tested in
all its workings and to have
proved successful The distribu-
ton of lands acquired by coun-
ties shows that the state owns in Adams
and Franklin counties 33, $50 acres; in
Bedford, 5,799; in Cameron, IS, 395; in
Centre, 36,679; in Clearfield, 80, $40; in
Clinton, 100, 900; in Cumberland, $50; in
Dauphin, s,629; in Elk, 2,263, in Frank
lin, 7,447; in Huntingdon, $500; in
Juniata and Miffiin, 1862; Lacka-
wanna, 1854; Itycoming, 1851; Niffiin
and Huntingdon, 24,857; Monroe,
8,2S2; Pike, 45,3S2; Potter, 51,620;
Tioga, 1904; Union, Miffiin, Centre
and Snyder, 124, S72, and in Wyoming,
1,177 acres, total of 577, 1872 acres.
Having acquired the lands, the report
says it is obvious, that the necessity is
to protect them. For that purpose it is
said careful survey of the states hold
ing should be made at once. The land
should be guarded against trespassers,
who have already in some parts invad-
ed the grounds. In making the survey
there should be established a uniform
system of blazes to mark state timber.
The suggestion is made that head for
ester be provided for every 25, 600 acres.
There should be passed acts against
trespassers, fire and the invasion of
cattle.
Touching upon the relation of forest
reserves to the water supply it is said
that no town should receive supply

cleared fields. zone of the signs" says
