The Tories reached the shore in time
to see the boat as it was hurriedly
rowed out to sea, and as there were
two men in it supposed their intended
victim had escaped, and so they relin-
Quished pursuit.
Meanwhile Governor Griswold lay
safe and quiet where Hctty had hidden
him until the time came for her to re-
turn to the house for supper.
Then lie babe her ask her mother to
set the light in the attic window as
0 o as it was dark and to send him
some supper.
That night he made his way to the
shore in safety, found the boat again
in waiting, and after a time rejoined
his family in Il home secure from bis
enemies.
A little daughter. whom he found
had been born to him during his alb
sence, he named Hetty Marvin in

LAKE STRIKE BROKEN.
Masters and Pilots Give in After Six
Weeks Tie-Up.

Cleveland, Ohio.-After six weeks OF

hundred thousand, the strike was bro
ken by the surrender Of the masters,
who, with the pilots, have been hold

wages this season than was offered by

The strike was declared off by Paul.

out the following statement: /,
THE Masters and Pilots Associa-

owing to existing conditions over
which we have no control, to advise
our Captains to 60 to work and make

! The governor stood in despair, aud
little Hetty wrung ner hands.
Quick" she said. suddenly. Under
my linen. Quick. cousin! Quick"
Its my only chance" he said. and
was soon concealed beneath the folds
of cloth.
Almost Immediately a mounted party
| Of six Tories. headed by a British Off
Ger, drew rein at the fork Of the road.
Hetty was quietly sprinkling her
linen. The officer caught sight of her
and rode quickly to the end Of the path
beside her, followed by his compan-
ions.
Child" he said. sternly. "have you
| seen a man running hereabouts?"
Eyes, sir" replied Hetty, trembling
! and confused.
(Which way did he go?"
81 promised not to tell. sir"
"What?" Numbered the Englishman.
IL promised not to tell. even if you
killed mew sobbed the frightened girl.
"Ill have it out of you" exclaimed
| the officer, fercely, and started to dis
mount.
LET me speak to her." said one Of
the Tories. II know the child" Then,
turning to Hetty. he asked, pleasantly,
Isn't your name Hetty Marvin"
Yes, sir"
won't you tell us what he said to
you? We are his friends
"He-told-he," Hetty hesitated, "he
was flying for his life"
"Just so. Now. Hetty. tell me where
he said he was going to hide. l could
help him. perhaps, if 1 knew his plans"
Hetty, not in the least deceived by
this smooth speech. quickly and
shrewdly decided that frankness would
serve her kinsman better than silence,
so answered his question.
my cousin said he was going down
| the east road to the river, where he has
a boat in waiting, but he wanted me to
| tell the men that were chasing him
that he had taken the north road to
meet the mail wagon"
"Why did you not say so, then, when
I asked you?" Numbered the officer.
81 could not tell a lie, sir" was the
fearful response, land I told him So"
"Hetty, my child" again began the
smooth : tongued Tory, Everybody
knows you are truthful. Now tell US
what your cousin said when you told
him you could not tell a lie"
HE said that if I betrayed him it
would be his death, and I promised
him I would not tell which way he
went, if I was killed for it."
THAT was a brave speech, my dear.
And then. I suppose, he ran down the
east road as quickly as possible?"
II promised not to tell which way he
went"
$50 you did. I forgot. Now tell Us
one thing more. What were his last
words?"
His last words were. It's my only
chance" and overcome by fright and
the thought Of her cousins danger.
Hetty sobbed aloud and hid her face in
her hands.
The pursuers did not wait to soothe
or to question her further. They had.
as they supposed, obtained the infor-
nation they needed. They wheeled
their horses and dashed off down the
east road to the river.
Near the shore the boat was in wait
ing for the governor, and in it were his
two faithful friends, for they had seen
the signal in the attic window.
But now they caught sight of the
pursuing party as they dashed down
the road, and the British officers uni
form told them who the party were.

Montreal. Quebec.-Five drowned
and $300,00 0 loss of property is the
statement given out as the result of
the collision between the Richelieu and
Ontario steamer Canada and the Black
Diamond line steamer Cape Breton six

The Canada went to the bottom ten
minutes after the collision. There

terre, purser, of the Canada; Brunei. Of
Sorel, he is missing and it is supposed
that he perished; Alfred Thiebault,
ticket agent Of the company at Quebec,
and his two sons, twelve and fifteen

entrance Of the Lake st. Peter Channel
waiting for daylight, so as to find her
way through. She was just getting
under way when the Canada, making
for Sorel at full speed, came into view.

The Prohibition Of The Hague Con-

Washington, D. c. Attention is
called to the fact by the Post, that
next month July 29) the prohibition
imposed by The Hague conference
upon the discharge of aerial torpedoes
from balloons or flying machines will
expire by limitation. 1t was with the
greatest difficulty that the Powers
represented at The Hague conference,
through their military delegates,
managed to reach an agreement upon
rules governing war, and this partic-
ular section was bitterly fought over.
although it is one Of the few which
the United States Government accept
ed without reservation. .
At the end of July a new field will
thus be opened to the inventor Of fly
ing machines and dirigible balloons,
which may now enter the field of war
fare without violation Of the rules Of
war.

THE POLL TAX.

Mr.. Editor: :.
will you kindly published the views
of one who would like to call the stten-
tion 10 the people TO lhls Parish. to the
necessity Of paying their Poll Taxes for
the year 1904, although there seems now
to be no political reasons for doing 30.
The first reason. can advance is one,
which all good and patriotic citizen.
will call public duty, because that One
Dollar goes directly for the maintain.
ance OF our public schools and II be.
hooves every citizen above the age OF 81
years to pay that small contribution for
public education and in doing that act
preserve his right of.citizenship.
The second reason, Is. since the adop-
tion of the amendments making the
sheriffs, clerks Of court. judges, district
attorneys elective instead Of by appoint
ment as heretofore. In case of death or
resignation, the people Of the parish or
district as the case may be shall be call
ed upon to elect their successors. This
also applies to our state senators and re-
representatives..
The third and In my opinion, the best
reason. is the one now being agitsted
and discussed by the Times democrat
and other influential journals through
out the state. the necessity in the Dear
future Of calling and holding . consti-
tutional convention. in order to esta.
blish as soon az possible a government
of the people. by the people and for the
people. to allow that political acrobat.
