This game of six innings is hardly worthy
of description and was only played to sat

grounds were fit to play one inning. more
could be played just as well. The players

Highlanders punched four hits in the first

| Some years ago the president of the re-
| public of Nicaragua was sitting, with his
| cabinet officers, in his council room in the
| city of Managua. They were waiting to
| greet their victorious general, Zelaya, who
| had just entered the city at the head of his
army, after quelling a dangerous revolu-
! ton.
| The general entered-a fine, stalwart,
soldierly man, with cold. gray eyes and
steely glance. At his heels there followed
a mob of his officers, clad, like most Latin
American warriors, in a queer medley Of
| rags and gold lace. AS they tried to push
into the room after him, he gave them one
angry glance and they tumbled down stairs
IN a greater hurry than if he had shouted
| dozen oaths at them.
The president began to thank him in the
fulsome language dear to Spanish-Amer-
leans. The generals illustrious patriotism
and magnificent hercism. he declared. had
saved the republic.
The general silenced him by wave of the
hand, drew a revolver, and raped on the
table sharply with the butt. The faces
OF the cabinet officers turned pale; dead
silence reigned in the room.
1.-THE revolution is dead!'' announced the
general, after playing silently with his
| frightened audience for full minute, as
cat plays with mouse. Long live the
| you think I won the victory for you? No,
senors. My army holds the town and the
country. The soldiers are devoted to me.
II is useless for you to protest or resist
To-day you must all leave the city, under
escort, for the coast, and you will depart
| to the United States or Europe by the first
steamer. If you refuse, you will be shot"
They left. There was something in the
generals glance which stopped even pro-
test, much less resistance. Two or three
of the cabinet officers volunteered to serve
under the new president, but he curtly
refused their offer. II have my own men"
he said. IF you would desert your pres
ent leader you would desert me-"
One man remained importunate. The
general took him by the arm and led him
to window fronting on the street.
DO you see that tree?" he asked. eff
you say another word I will call in my
men and order them to lead you out and
shoot you beneath it."
Firmly Entrenched.
Thus 1t was that General Jose Santos
zelaya, the reigning president of Nicara-
qua, came into power. He has now been
the Caesar of his country for five or six
years, and, from present indications, seems
| likely to have as long lease of Office as
Guzman Blanco had in venezula- There
! is nobody in sight strong enough to over
throw him. Several prominent Nicara-
guans have tried, and had good reason to
regret their temerity.
No sooner was Zelaya firmly seated in
power than he began to sigh for fresh
| conquests. He induced the neighboring
| republics of Honduras and Salvador to
| join Nicaragua in a federation under the
i title of The United States of Central
| America Nicaragua, Of course, being the
| predominant partner. The federation was
| agreed to by treaty signed at Managua
on August q. 1893. But it soon became

CHAPTER VI.

It amt the powder magazine that's
dangerous. It's the ijut with the
lighted match.-The Log Book of The
Lyddy.
The next day as they were passing out OF
the last reaches that might by any pos
sibility be called the Channel they were
fortunate enough to travel with ana
through one of those extraordinary process
sions of the worlds craft which are more
often seen there, perhaps, than in any
other waters on the surface of the EARN.
OF all of them the captain discoursed learn
eddy, with many quaint expressions ana
from divers original points of view, which
pleased Parton more and more as the dis
lance between the Isle of Wight and the
Lydia Skolfeld increased.
1t was at the season of the British naval

lessness. Among them were dozen or
more torpedo boats, whose speed curled the
water over their bows in great cascades OF
white foam The two men rose from their
seats and leaned over the rail to watch
them as they raced past. Suddenly, with a
swish and a saucy foot from her whistle,
one of them shot along at the side of the
Lydia with great speed and apparently
recklessly near. She sat low in the water,
her tunnels top being scarcely higher than
the Lydia's rail. and as she passed not
more than four or five feet of water sepa-
rated her from the sailing craft.
1t was a reckless piece of dare-devilment,
and the captain burst into fury of wrath.
He ran aft, trying to keep alongside of the
flying craft as long as he could, and hurting

his strange substitute for profanity at the
natty young commander as long as he could
feel at all sure that his voice would carry
so as to reach his ears.
When he returned to his place at Par
tons side he was breathless with indigna-
ton. He fumed for a few moments and
then burst into hearty laugh.
''By John! But he'd been a badly fooled
comma ndin' monkey If he'd rammed me-"
he said, with face on which the imagined
joy of sweet revenge was brilliantly re-
fiected. Quincy If he'd hit me just one
good hard punch amidShips he'd thought

If he's good man an got soul Gale lated

"Why?" asked Parton. Would he have
blown up? 1 don't believe they carry real
explosives on these practice trips, do theyT'
We'll, mebbe they do an mebbe they
don't" said the captain. Even II they
do they only carry a little. There's where
the joke would a come in. You'd think they

Roxburghe Emerald Canard.

From the New York Press.
Lady Orr Ewing, Roxburghe's sister. tells
with great glee the story of the "Rox-
burghe emerald" The truth is that there
never was G hereditary emerald in this
Scottish family. The Duchess of BUc-
cleuch owns a splendid parure of this sort,
and in some way the story became twisted.
1t was flashed across the Atlantic that httle
Miss Goelet would receive these fictitious
emeralds, and the Britishers who knew that
a few pearls were the only Roxburghe heir
looms of this description laughed. The
Roxburghes never took the trouble TO deny
the emerald yarn" and when the dowager
duchess came to New York for the wedding
and no emeralds were forthcoming Miss
Goelet's American friends believed the
Jewels were in the vaults of the Bank OF
England And now Lady Orr-EWing, a
charming widow and flower of the family,
goes from dinner party to dinner party tell

with their sjx-shooters. Fortunately, the
fire leaped up just then, and we could ols-

wolves about them. The fire ana shoouhS
drove the wolves off again.
The brush was burning briskly by this
time, but there was no more fuel that would
burn on our side of the wolves. 1t was
about fifty yards to where the DRIED brush
was up on the river bank But those two
Indians proved worthy of their race. Leon
uicked up a blazing brand and made dash
up the bank, Juan pelting along just AFTER
and firing two six-shooters In every dlrec-

and they reached the brush in safety. Then,

wolves drew off, and we could only locate
them by their bowls and snarls and an oc-
casional CLEAN of eyes, bur they were not
near enough to worry US.
Now. YOU might think troubles were
over then. That's what we thought but we
made a bis mistake. Even the two Indians
couldn't foresee what would happen before
morning.
well. we took turns at sleeping and feed
ing the fires. 1t was my turn last, and
Leon had called me. By the stars judged
it to be about in the morning.
Leon was just curling up in his blankets
when an unearthly row broke out where
we knew the wolves to be. They no longer
hoWIed but each individual member of the
pack seemed to turn himself loose into
snarls. We could also hear grunts, and peo-
bles and rocks were being kicked about as
though an elephant were trying to tear up
the creek bed.
"Ieon,, 1 said, I naturally can't help
turning loose few rounds into that meet

excitement.

Leon sprang to his feet with yen anu
grabbed the gun. Juan was up only a
second after. Both of them jumped in
front of the fire, their backs to it. their
faces toward the fight out In the darkness.
Then they both began firing, and did the
same. although I had no idea then tnat
there was something besides wolves out
.Pretty soon heard the clatter Of big
bculders coming toward US; then gigantic

pounding into the hrelight. It was Dear

and at the first glance thought him about
the size of a small house.
Run? shouted Leon, and we scattered
over the creek bed toward the other fire.
We got up the bank all right. Meanwhile
the other fire had blinded the bear and he
had pelted right into it. He roared and
screamed and sent big boulders flying in all
directions, and we just poured a steady fire
into him, which didn't seem to bother him
so much as the blazing brush
FINALLY he freed himself, although his
fur was smoking in a dozen spots, and he
made for the bank where we stood firing
our repeaters. But he was weakening, and
about half way he rolled over and stirred
the river bed up, some of the smaller
boulders landing at our feet. Finally, he
gave last groan, a supreme spasmodio
kick, and rolled back, motionless.
Then Leon went down to rebuild the
half-scattered fire, but l noticed he gave
the bear wide circuit. He might have a
kick or two left yet. My gun barrel was go
hot that have scar yet where ii burned
my hand.
We'll, when daylight came the wolves
left US with a last howl, and We skinned
the bear, which was a half-grown grizzly.
That kept US busy all day, but toward even
ing Leon and l went out and shot n wild
goat which went well with the bear for
supper. We dragged most of the bear
carcass some distance off from camp, and
that night we heard the wolves and coyotes
battling as they gorged themselves. and We
knew there was no danger of their bother
ing us.
Next morning we pulled stakes and
moved farther up into the mountains and
every day for the rest of the week we had
an encounter with something that would
have been too big for me to handle alone.
