while, on each side of the occupant
of the Sioux palanquin, logged a
blanketed rider on jaded pony. Here
was a parsonage of consequence
luckier much than these others fol-
lowing, dragged along on travels
whose trailing poles came jolting over
stone or hummock along the rugged
path. 1t was on these that Blake's
glittering eyes were fastened.
"Pounce on the leaders, you that are
nearest!" he ordered, in low, telling
tones, the men at his left; then
turned to Schneider, crouching close
beside him, the fringe of his buck
skin hunting shirt quivering over his
bounding heart. "There's the prize

you do, let no shot reach that litter.

"Whoo-oop!" All in second the
mountain woke, the welkin rang, to
o yell of warning from the lips of the
leading Sioux. All in second they
whirled their ponies about and darted
back. All in that second Blake and
his nearmost sprang to their feet
and flung Themselves forward
straight for the startled convoy. In
vain the few warriors bravely rallied
about their foremost wounded. The
unwieldy litter could not turn about;
the frantic mules, crazed by the in
slant pandemonium of shouts and
shots-the onward rush of charging
men-the awful screams of brace
of squaws, broke from their lead
ing reins; crashed with their lit
ter against the trees, hurting
the luckless occupant to earth. Back
drove the unhit warriors before the
dash of the cheering line. Down went
first one pony, then second, in his
bloody tracks. One after another, lit
ter, travels, wounded and prisoner,
was clutched and seized by stalwart
hands, and Blake, painting not lit
tie, found himself bending staring
over the PROSTATE form flung from
the splintered wreck of the litter, a
form writhing in pain that forced no

clinching teeth, yet that baffied effort.

During the Crimean war Scotch
officer was appointed to command a
regiment recruited in Glasgow, Scot

vote of the regiment to determine
whether the men favored the adoption
of the Highland costume.
In due time the regimental orderly
appeared before the colonel with the
result of the vote.

A dozen there were, for along the

thrill of excitement. Shoulders be-

down on the heavy carbine hammers,

pines, 500 yards away two mounted
Indians popped suddenly into view,
two others speedily followed, their
well-nigh exhausted ponies feebly

Fla, Dec. 14.-(Special.)- Tho crusier Columbia, which brought Secretary Taft to this place from Pana- ma. is still at anchor at Pensacola and the probabilities are that the ship will be here for the next few days. dur ing which time the Pensacola public will be received aboard and the beauti- full and somewhat historical ship will be carefully looked over.
 The Columbia has been here on sever al previous occasions. and 1t Is ru- morsd that this vessel will be at Pensacola in the future about as much as at single port in the United States. She Is commanded by Captain James Miller. who has taken occasion to speak q good word for Pensacola whenever opportunity offers. and this has been plentiful in the very recent past. Captain Miller regrets that the ships bottom struck ground in a shoal place inside the harbor when he was here before and thinks that this will De looked upon not favorable by the na- val officials.

SOUTHERN LEAGUE AVERAGES
 FOR LAST SEASON COMPLETED
Carleton Molesworth Among Four All-Season
 Players to Bat Over 300 Per Cent.

By Harrington Jones. Memphis, Tenn
 Little Rock, Dec 14.-Compared with the oficial records of 1908, the ofi1cial figures just compiled by Secretary A. Clark Miller of the Southern League for the season ended in September. show marked changes in many re- spects. Some surprises appear. too. To begin with, the first thing to strike the eye is the falling of in the batting of the players The records of 1905 showed that thirty-two players hit for more than 800. and of this number twenty-five had participated in more than fifteen games In the season or 1S04 only ten players are within the 'charmed circle" and of this number but four were really regular players. V The veteran Piggy Ward, who finished the season with Birmingham. heads the list with a mark of .345 for six teen games. Next comes Blake of Ltt- tie Rock, who in ten game hit for .333
 As these two participated fin so few games their marks can scarcely be ac- cepted as a criterion of their speed with the stick. Jack Gilbert, however. made a more consistent record, as in 132 games he singled to the tune of .327. Fourth on the list Is Harry Bussey, whose record was established in thir- ty-one games. Pug Bennett, another Nashvillian, hit for the same, as did the veteran f1rst-sacker, and his mark should be regarded as normal. as he usual, soused over the BOO mark, as did Joe Stanley, who played an even 100 games.

been busy for the past two days serv- ing warrants upon a number of peo- pie who have been indicted for varying offenses. The principal charge against them is for gambling or for the keep ing of gambling houses. and the action of the grand jury has been the means of causing a great sensation in the ranks of the knights of the green cloth.
 Bonds in each case have been fixed at $200. and the security Is given as soon as the defendants are taken in charge. A number of arrests have been made already and the sensation Is all the greater when it is considered that all the men are white and all of them have hitherto stood well in this com munity. The recurring arrests have caused many to believe that the sheriff has not nearly finished serving the warrants. since 1t is known that at least thirty true bills have been return ed. and about one third that number have been seen served.
