KILLED AT R, R. CROSSING,

Last Thursday an old negro by
the name of Glass Bennett, was
crossing the railroad track a t
Charline, or Wilson's Crossing, as
it used to be called, the no T t h
bound 1915 p m train struck the
wagon and mules Just as they were
crossing the track. The wagon
was completely demolished and
the mules instantly killed; the ne
gro was badly mashed up: one leg
was broken in two places; one arm
was broken, four ribs broken, and
his skull fractured. The train
stopped and picking up the negro
took him to Princeton and sent
him to the railroad hospital at Pa
ducah, but he died in a short time
after reaching there. The remains
we're sent back to Charline for in
terment.
The mules and wagon belon ged
to James Lowery and were apprai
sed at 1925. The killing it seems
from reports was purely accident

Anita Courtney. a beautiful Moorish maiden
always believed she was the daughter Of an
Englishman, Courtney, known as the Cray Fox
OF Gibraltar, until she overheard that she was
the daughter Of the Sultan Of Morocco. in whose
death Courtney was instrumental In her home
she hears a plot to put Gibraltar, then the
property Of Spain. into the possession Of the
English Her lover, Lieut.. Carolus Mertrez, IS
gone 10 Madrid With a message for the com
fnandant of the fortress. Courtney gets the key
Of the fortress from the governor and the latter
escapes with his men while Courtney turns Gil
braltar over to the Gngllsh and Mertrez is ar
rested on his return. Courtney gives up his
smuggling business and becomes important
man at the fortress and gives a dinner 20 the
naval men, at which Anita, in her first hall
gown. starties all with her loveiiness. especially
Lieutenant Caltharpe whom she knows by sight.
The witch Zanosa tells Anita that her lover Is
IN the village prison and shows her a secret
path by which she may gain access 10 him.
Down this dangerous way the girl starts with
out fear On her way she meets Lieutenant Cal
thorpe, who tells her the English password.
Anita sees Mertrez and after explanations they
plan 10 recapture the fortress Anita secures in
formation about the position OF the English.
but before she can communicate Nth Mertrez,
Zanosa warns the English OF treachery- Mer-
trez, with a big force Of followers, begins the
attack. He captures the signal station and q
bloody battle follows.

the Spanish to yield. Mertrez himself
inspired them by his example as he laid
about him with his sword. telling man
after man IN the opposing ranks and
shouting encouragement 10 his follow
ers.
AS he felt rather than saw the slow
yielding of the Spanish line, the gallant
lieutenanrs heart was filled with agony
He knew that the slow movement pre-
saged defeat
He felt that for him the end of all
things had come His plan had failed
If he survived he would be disgraced.
II would be far better TO die fighting
among his men.
Even when his own men, fighting be-
side him, began to give up the struggle
Mertrez kept desperately on. He had
been wounded by two saber cuts; his
face and hands were covered with blood;
he hardly could see. but still he struck
viciously at the men before him.
The English, now sure of their vic
tory and admlring the spirit of the man,
were loath to strike him down. They
called upon him to abandon the useless
struggle. but he gave no heed TO them
He was fighting now not for victory, but
for an honorable death.
Three soldiers were opposing him
They might have shot him. but not
wishing 70 take the life Of so brave a
fighter. they were endeavoring to dis
arm him by blows from their gun stocks.
But they succeeded only in breaking
his weapon. which he still waved de-
family before him.
At length, when he was fairly upon
the edge of the chasm, a soldier who
had approached from the side raised his
weapon and dealt Mertrez a blow across
the head that stretched him upon the
earth. He tossed his arms out as he
fell, and then, rolling over and over in
convulsive agony. ne, too. like so many
OF his companions. disappeared over the
cliff.
The battle was over. The Spanish
troops. flower of the force that had been
sent TO retake the fortress from the
English. had been almost annihilated.
Not more than fifty remained as pris-
oners in the hands OF the British. The
others lay dead or wounded upon the
scene Of the conflict, or had passed over
the cliff 10 encrimson the rocks below
with their blood and become food for
the vultures.
The warning of Zaaosa, vague as It
had been. had saved the day for the
English Had the latter not been able
TO spring to arms at the first alarm,
they could not have reached the plain
in time 10 beat back their opponents.
Had the Spaniards sufficient time
10 take up a strong ION at the sum-
nit after their capture IF the signal sta
ton. the result would have been their
complete victory. the recapture of the
fortress and the vindication Of the dar-
ing plan Of Lieutenant Mertrez.

listened TO his daughters story.
The judges forbore TO question her
further and with head erect and flash
ing eyes, that answered, the gaze OF
curiosity. bent upon her by the people
in the court room. the girl walked
through the crowd and out upon the
Rock once more.
She had done an act which Il had
been most difficult TO bring her proud
spirit to undertake. She had done 1t TO
save a mana m2n who passionately
lover her-from the consequences OF ms
act.
But now that It was over she felt bet
ter and more at ease for having done IT,
Ii did not scothe the bitterness OF her
spirit, but Il made her feel that she
had done at least one act Of justice
toward the man whom she had made &c
suffer much
In desolation of spirit she wandered
away to her old nook among the locust
trees. Hither in a few moments came
Calthorpe in search of her. He had
been acquitted promptly. chiefly because
of the testimony Anita had given.
He had heard the testimony of the
girl, and he believed that he detected in
1t certain sympath!es OF a change in her
feelings toward him Therefore. he had
rushed of in the first moments Of his
freedom to thank her and to protest his
undying affection.
When ne reached the little bower he
advanced to the girl, and, thanking her
for her service to him. bowed low above
her, at the same moment touching his
lips to her hand, which he had quietly
taken.
The girl understood his meaning and
drew back the hand. not angrily. as she
might have done in her gayer days, but
grayely and sedately.
The young man looked at her with q
protesting glance.

me a little IN return?''
The girl smiled sadly.

CHAPTER XIV.
The Air of the Road.

The witch woman's anxiety TO get
Anita away from Gibraltar was no
greater than that which the girl herself
felt to escape from the place which had
witnessed the downfall of her happi-
ness. A little time before the thought
of leaving the Rock had filed her with
unreasonIng alarm Now her co1sum-
ing anxiety was to depart as quickly as
possible.
To herself she explained this feeling
BY her Impotence to find the Senorita
Cassava, whose presence in CordOVa
was the girls only reason for journey
ing thither. To Zanosa. Of course, she
said nothing of this part OF her errand,
and the ole woman was vastly pleased
at the girl's' readiness to accept her
suggestion OF an immediate departure
Accordingly, on the very day follow
ing their conversation. the two women
set out The blankets and a few simple
utensils were made into a small bundle

A witness fOr Lieut.. CalthOrpe.

Although the Spanish attack had been
successfully repulsed. its sudden and
unexpected nature caused CONSERVATION
in the British camp. The fact that a
path up the mountainside had existed
unknown TO them. and that by this path
a large body OF the enemy had OBJ
tanned access TO the most important
point of the Rock, the British COM
manders felt to be a serious reflection
upon their vigilance.
