STERLING THREW SCARE AT
MRS. TACCART YESTERDAY

might as we'll do so, as there was moth
ing to eat in the house.
She then told of ball game quarrel
when Capt. Taggart had become angry
because she would not go, and charged
that she was waiting for Fortesque.
She said he attempted to strike her,
when she ran into the bathroom and
locked the door.
She said there was no truth in the
statements that she went out to guard
mount to meet Fortesque or anybody
else. She said she sat and talked a
| short time to Fortesque and another
, officer. She declared she was not in
toxicated and. went upstairs with the
| young women.
On the occasion of going to the cellar
for ice. she said they had been making
highballs and had run out of ice. For
| tesque held the candle at the head of
the stairs while she got the ice. She
was not in the cellar more than three
minutes. Capt. Taggart became very
angry On going home, she was ac-
companied by Captain and Mrs. Poore
, and Fortesque. She found Capt. Tag
gart upstairs shaving. He refused to
come downstairs and was very angry.
He declared that they should never
come again.
A few days later Capt. Taggart invit-
ed these same people after ball game
into the house to have a mint julep.
MRS. Taggart, is 1t true that you
and Fortesque were sitting asleep to-
gether, and that you and Fortesque
were sitting there the entire time until
the guests went home"

''Is it true that you were under in

champagne, and just taste of that"
'Is it true that you and Fortesque
went into the dining room and were
drinking highballs?"

What about Fortesque dancing the
whole night?"
Nothing of it,
What about seven dances marked
off with the same dancer?"
There were seven dances marked
off by Lieut.. Fortesque. One gentle
man could not come until late, and he
marked his"
WAS Lieut.. Fortesque at your house
while Capt. Taggart was in Kansas
City?"

She said she had never called For
tesque by telephone, and no act of i'm
propriety ever passed between them.
Mrs. Taggart said she remembered din
ner at General Miners. She sat at the
right of Miner.
Il never told Capt. Taggart that
Miner had been indecent at the table
Nothing of the kind occurred. / never
telephoned to Miner; never told Miss
Berry about improper actions by Min
no conversation on the subject was had
IL never knew that | was suspected |
of misconduct with General Miner un-
til learned Of it through the filing of
the petition in court here. / could |
imagine no reason for the charge"
Mrs. Taggart told of the Simmons |
incident. She said she took bottle |
of beer and sandwich to Capt. Tag |
CARTS room on the third floor, and he
knocked the tray from her hands, beat
her and threw her down so her face
struck the chiffoniere. The next day |
Taggart apologized, said he knew the
charges were not true and that he
thought he must have been crazy. She
felt Taggart had some mental disorder
and said he ought to get medical ad-
vice.

scene. Where the fire had been built
the cavern was wide. and from the
lofty ceiling ages ago great fragm ents
Of stone had been torn loose and lay
| in heap on the floor, little to one
| side Of the fire, leaving a dark path
| in the shadow. Paul could also see
that their captors had placed their
rifles In a corner farthest from them.
The three men sleeping on the straw
We're between the prisoners and the
rifles, which were on the right of the
sleeping sentry. All the advantages
and disadvantages of the position
were taken into consideration at a
glance. PauPs companion arose and
gave their surroundings a quick sur
yey, and then they exchanged glances.
The look was sufficient. They under
stood each other as we'll as If they
had spoken volumes. Paul was to look
after the guard and the captain to
seize the rifles. The young man
nodded assent to the request ex-
pressed by the captains eyes, and be-
gan to act. They rolled up the blank
cts and left them ON the straw, with
their caps stuck over them, giving
them, in the uncertain light, the APP
pearance OF two sleeping men. Paul
went first on hands and knees, creep
ing around the little mound of stone
and earth and over the loose stones
with all the cautioA possible. He
was closely followed by the hermit,
who seemed to possess the wonderful
faculty of moving without noise.
The sentry stirred in his sleep
when Paul was within ten or fifteen
PAGES of him. The determined youth
seized stone and leaped toward him.
Ned Padgett suddenly started up with
a yell and had half raised his rifle, |
when the stone, hurled with great pre-
cision and force, struck him on the |
shoulder. Down he went under the
blow dropping the rifle at Paul's feet. |
To seize the gun and turn at bay
on the others was the work of an in
slant. They were starting up from
their sleep and Ben Allen shouted:

About Connecticut Tobacco.

The story of Sumatra leaf tobacco
as grown under cheesecloth in Con-
necticut is one of the romantic epis-
odes of agriculture, says writer In
Country Life in America A Florida
fruit grower had got some tobacco
plants that got into his pineapple seed
by accident and he noticed that they
were taller and Of finer texture under
the lath shade. The bureau of soils.
while surveying the Connecticut val
ley, found a soil that was practically
the same as that of Sumatra, on which
the famous tobacco is grown. (The
bureau has samples of soil from al
most every important agricultural re-
gion of the world.) The government
got an expert to start an industry and
the next two years some of the grow
ers made over 100 per cent profit.
The industry as a whole is success
full. A large company with plenty Of
capital is necessary, for it costs $3.50
to cover and grow an acre of this to-
bacco. The growers receive from
$1.20 to $3.50 a pound for the product
The imported article brings $3.50 to
$500 and we have been importing
about $6,000,000 worth year.

Words of Love,

Do you know heart mat hungers
For a word of love and cheer?
There are many such about us;
1t may be that one is near
Look around you. If you find it,
Speak the word that's needed so
And your own heart may be strengthened
BY the help that you bestow. =
It may be that some one falters
On the brink of sin and wrong,
And word from you might save him,
Help to make the tempted strong.
Look about you, my sister,
What a sin is yours and mine
If we see that help is needed
And we give no friendly sign.
Never think kind words are wasted,
Bread on waters cast are they,
And it may be we shall find them
Coming back to us some day.
Coming back when sadly needed
In a time of sore distress;
So, my friend, let's give them freely:
Gift and giver God will bless.

Attorneys Services Valuable.

T. D. Shea, an attorney of Nanti-
coke, Pa, has just returned victor in
a curious suit against the Susquehan-
ma Coal company. He sued for $4,000
for legal services during the great
coal strike of two years ago. The
company, part of the Pennsylvania
railroad system, was unwilling to pay
more than $500, claiming that was
ample payment for the service rend-
cred. Mr.. Shea is over six feet tall
and built proportionately. 1t was
held by the counsel that his presence
alone among the strikers kept them
from harming the company's proper
ty. The jury took the same view and
awarded him $4,000.

BEGGAR HAD MADE MONEY.
Seotchman's Odd viii Showed He
Found Calling Profitable.

The Scotch papers of the year 1877
reported at length the life and death
of notable beggar, William Steven
son. About the year 1887 Stevenson
and his wife separated upon the
strange terms that the first of the
two to propose a reunion was to pay
the other $500 forfeit. The forfeit
apparently was never incurred, as
neither of them, as far as could be
ascertained, ever saw the other again.
Then Stevenson took to the road as a
beggar, and lived for thirty years a
free and jolly life; but at last, in his
85th year, he was struck down with
an incurable disease. When he came
within sight of death he sent for a
baker and ordered twelve dozen burial
cakes, large quantity of sugared bis
cult, and an ample supply of wines
and spirits. He next sent for joiner
and instructed him to make "a good,
sound dry, roomy, comfortable coffin"
laying the stress upon its comfortable
ness. Then he summoned a gravedig-
ger and instructed him to dig "a COM
Portable grave" in a special spot in
Riccarton churchyard. The old wom-
an who attended him was instructed
to find in certain rag hidden in a
certain hole the money to defray all
these expenses, Having thus relieved
his mind of all anxiety as to his post
humous comfort, Stevenson died in
peace. After his death were found in
his garnet two bags-one full of silver
and the other of gold pieces-and a
box containing bonds for various
amounts, including one for $500
close upon $4,000 in all. This was be.
queathed to distant relatives, with the
exception of 500 to the old woman
who had attended him, and a large
sum to provide feast for all the beg
gars of Scotland who cared to come
to see his body "lie in state"

Doesn't Want to Die.

DR.. Abdul Hikmet, a Turkish resi-.

the Turkish embassy to return within
twenty days to Constantinople, where
an order for his execution awaits him.
The doctor recently published a vic.
lently-worded pamphlet charging the
sultan with responsibility for the
massacre of n-Mussulmans in the
Turkish empire. He has appealed to
the French government for protection.

CHAPTER XII.
The Dog Courier.

Paul Miller drew his rifle to his
shoulder and let drive two or three
shots in quick succession, sending
their late captors flying heller SHELTER
to the rear of the cavern. Whether
any of them were wounded by his
bullets or not he did not stop to
learn. He then seized the rifles,
blankets and caps and the two men
FASTENED away from the cavern, TAX
ing the precaution to secure not only
the rifles, but three pistols and all the
belts of cartridges they could find.
Both of them had filled their capa-
cious pockets with dried moose meat
until they stuck out like stuffed tur-
keys.
They broke two of the rifles because
they could not carry them and
strapped the others on their backs.
Long they travelled in a western di-
rection, guided by the stars. They
had given up all hope of finding their
Metlakahlan friends, who no doubt
supposing them lost, had returned to
their home on the island. After wan
dering three or four hours into the
forest and being completely ex-
hausted, the two fugitives rolled
themselves in their blankets and
slept. They dared not build fire,
for it might attract the attention of
their pursuers.
When day dawned they made
breakfast on some of the dried moose
they had brought with them and pre-
pared to resume their journey. They
discovered that they were gradually
ascending a mountain side On all
sides of them were forests of scraggy
spruce, the trees seldom being over
five or six inches in diameter, and
ferns and other forms of plant life
were occasionally noted.
At last they came to a great cleft
between gigantic snow-robed noun
tains.
The first night after they began
their ascent they camped on the
mountain side near spring and
spread their blankets under the lee of
a large bowlder.
Hope had been revived In the breast
of Paul Miller, but his companion, who
had been deceived and cheated so
often by outrageous fortune, evinced
little or none of his spirits.
1--WE are a long way from civiliza-
tion yet" he said to one of Paul's
remarks about their being safe. $50
often, my friend, have had my hopes
raised only to be blighted that I al
low myself to believe nothing good
can come to me. A terrible fate
seems to have taken possession of my
being-I seem doomed" The old gray
head was bent on his hands, and he
was silent, while darkness came over
the scene.
The next days travel over this I'M
known region was but a repetition of
the experiences of the day before.
Higher they climbed, up, up and up,
approaching on the mountain side the
line of eternal snow. A few hundred
yards more Of climbing brought them
to the summit of the divide, where
there was pile of stones which
seemed to have been placed there by
human hands. No life of any kind
was visible, unless that white speck
on the distant ledge be a dog or
goat.
