CHAPTER XIII.


Let us go back to the brig. and follow
the youth to his present position In that
eating room.
Early In the morning Buffo burlington
came down from the masthead. where
he had been for over an hour. ana sought
the young surgeon, and Informed him
that he must 20 back to the castle.
ASK no questions" said BufO. "but
come with me at once. There are
score Of men or more in the woods. and
they will go with us. Come-if you
would save Mary"
Paul was bewildered. but that was
enough. and he prepared himself quick
~. The boat was manned with his own
crew, the same four whom he used to
take with him. aud then they set of.
Half way up the river they pulled In to
the shore. and. having landed. BuirO and
Paul told the b0ntinen that they might
return to the brig when they pleased.
and tell the captains crew to come up
ut sunset. After this our hero and Burn
ingtOn struck of toward another path
which led to the castle, and when he
reached Il Paul was not u little aston
ished ut meeting Il company of thirty
armed men--nll of them soldiers, and
one of them IN the splendid undress of an
infantry colonel, to whom the'youth was
introduced.
"Now." said BuffO. speaking to Paul,
"you lead these men to the back of the
small wooded hill by the castle. ! must
20 and call Mr. Fox, who lies waiting
close at hand. and | may keep on to
Garonne's. II | do conclude to keep on
Fox will Join You and proceed ut once to
the castle, and l shall join you there in
season for the dcnoucment."
As burlington thus spoke he started
of by narrow cross path. and Paul
turned to Col. TafallO. remarking as he
did 30:
'DO you understand all this, sir!"
Perfectly" replied the officer. Lead
us on"
There was n prOmptness and decision
about the look aud tone OF the man
which forbade Paul to usk questions,
and he ut once started on his way. In
lust about one hour he reached the back
OF the hill, which lay only u few rods
from the castle wall. and here, In less
than ten minutes, they were joined by
James Fox. The old gentleman shook
the youth warmly by the hand and then
proposed they should start ut once for
the castle. 1t happened very fortunately
that all the men who lived In the cots
without the wall had gone OH to their
work upon the other side OF the river
where they were engaged In gathering
c0chineal: NO the party approached the
main building without alarm and even
reached the postern without being discov.
cred.
This postcrn was often left unlocked
IN the daytime, ami II happened to he so
now; SO Paul opened 1t and passed In.
There were some dozen men-slayes
iounging about the buildings in that part
of the yard, but they gave no alarm, for
they saw Paul first, and hence supposed
of course all was right Then when
they came TO be threatened with death
by the soldiers IL they made any noise.
they dared not give warning, and all was
50 far safe. After this Paul and the old
gentleman left the colonel aud his men
and proceeded at once to seek Mari La
roon-with what success we have seen.
The pirate started IN when he saw
the youth, and when his eye also rested

The Personal Issue.

In their desperate hunt for an issue
on which the party can agree, the
national Democracy under the leader
ship of the New York World pretend to
find in the strenuous personality of
Theodore Roosevelt a lurking danger to
the free institutions of the country.
They have abandoned the free silver
heresy on the adoption of which eight
years ago they claimed the safety and
prosperity of the country depended, and
reaffirmed that claim in the platform of
1900. The party did not dare to ac-
knowledge their error at the late St.
Louis convention, fearing to lose the
support of the free silver wing led by
Mr.. Bryan, and being unwilling to ex-
pressly concede that the Republicans
were right and they were wrong on a
vital question.
According to the terms of the plat
forms of the two parties, there is no
special issue on the question of the
curbing and regulation of the trusts. In
point of fact while the Democrats an
not point to single instance where
they have attempted to enact or enforce
legislation against the trusts, the, Sher-
man antitrust law was enacted by a
Republican Congress, signed by Re-
publican president, and although de-
clared entirely imperative by Richard
Olney, Cleveland's Attorney General, it
was enforced by Attorney General Knox,
at the order of Theodore Roosevelt, and
applied by a verdict of Republican
judges, the majority of Democratic
judges not concurring. Under Repub-
lican auspices injunctions restraining
trusts have been repeatedly granted and
enforced
On the question of Imperialism, so
called, the Democratic party is divided
and has nothing definite and practical to
propose, which differs essentially from
the Republican plan of assisting the
Philippines to the most complete and
available form of self government as
soon as they can be fitted for it, al
though the Republicans wisely leave the

The statement of the increase in the
expenditure of our state the past twenty
years, as set forth in the democratic
campaign document in our advertising
columns last week has another side to it.
Before we can tell whether this increase
has been disadvantage to the state or
otherwise we must know what they are
for, for it is a maxim in all business
enterprises that ait don't make any diff
ference what you pay for thing if it is
only worth the price," To mention a
few things only: The state in the mean.
time has built an insane asylum, and is
now bearing the whole expense of caring
for the insane. There have been addi
tional appropriations for the national
guard, to make our small contingent
compare favorably with the larger ones
of other states. Larger appropriations
have been made to schools. Gifts of the
state to town libraries have grown up in
this period. The publishing of bulletins
by the state boards of health and agri
culture are also the product of this
interval

A very pretty wedding took place
Wednesday evening, August II, at the
Universalist Church, before large num-
Der of invited guests, when Miss Marion
Inez Wadleigh and Mr.. Herbert E..
Smith were united in marriage by the
Rev. Thomas Butler. The altar was
very prettily decorated with evergreen
and wild flowers and at 7.15 o'clock the
bridal party marched up the center aisle
to the strains of Lohengrin's Wedding
March, played by Miss Winnie Wal
bridge, from the gallery. After the
ceremony the organ again sounded and
they marched out followed by the rela-
tives and few friends of the bride and
groom to the home of the brides mother,
Mrs. c. f. Wadleigh, where a reception
was held. At about 9 o'clock the happy
couple left in closed cab for St. Johns
bury, where they took train for
Massachusetts. The presents in silver
and cut glass were numerous and nice.

Station, N. Ii.

Editor of the II ERALD, Island Pond.
Sir - Your comments with regard to
democratic matter you are publishing
are manly and evidently intended to be
fair. But you are mistaken in supposing
that the money comes from Wall street.
1t is an entirely natural supposition On
your part after seeing the lavish amounts
of it from that source that have always
been poured out on your side-not for
yourself or the other editors of the state,
who have always done such yeoman serv-
ice at large outlay Of your own money,
but for stumpers and workers of every
degree, who have not only not been
called on for outlay, but have been
paid extravagantly for everything they
have done, and who are now making this
silly rumpus when they see few dollars
coming your way in an entirely legiti.
mate business transaction without any of
the sneaking or false pretence that has
so often characterized their own efforts
to "use" the press.
1t is a qualification to me that the
party | belong to, instead, proceeds man
fashion, openly and fairly, presenting
its argument without disguise, with its
facts and figures to speak for themselves
to an intelligent people, whom l ask
what it means when, instead of attempt
ing to answer them, the republican
bosses are making such desperate though
futile efforts to prevent the appearance
of these facts and figures before the
people? So far as know, or have reason
to believe, this advertising is entirely a
matter of the democratic state commit.

the known poverty of the party, to do
the entire work without remuneration,
and at meeting of the committee held

paying the small amount required. Their
contributions are going to the republican
campaign where they have always gone.

We are in receipt of the above letter
from Mr.. c. II. Davenport, the author Of
the democratic campaign matter pub
lished in our advertising columns last
week, correcting our intimation that the
money to pay the expense of such adver-
Using comes from Wall street. We
never intended to be understood to mean
that any amount of money spent for the
purpose of informing the public upon
the political issues of either party was
not legitimately spent, no matter where
it came from, or in what quantity. Some
people Judge others by their own stand.
ards and methods. But when Mr.. Dav'
export undertakes to say that no money
is going to the democrats from Wal
street this year he is contradicting wha,
was generally understood to be the fact
by the whole American public, at the
time of the st. Louis convention, that
Judge Parker was Wall Streets candi
