By the aid of bis officers and some Of the sooerest rcen be had coahscated all of the liquor shat be could come at and had stored st under strong guard In the west fort. which be selected as bis head quarters He governors palace on she hill above was a more itting and luxurious residence. and 1t had been --orptiy seized. the few defenders eavinz fed .n the morning but for the present Morgan deemed Il best to re- snstn in the e.ty and ia close touch -~.th his ael.

 "where? Another? Who has dared"- roared the buccaneer. glaring about him.
 "Thy servant. the negro" "Oh," he laughed. he is nothing. Black Dog we call him. He is my slave, my shadow, my protection. He is always by."
 An idea had swiftly flashed into the young girls mind. If she could get rid of the slave she could deal more easily with the master. She was tall. strong, and Morgan. it appeared, was not in full possession of his faculties or his strength from the liquor he had i'm bibed.
 "Stili," she urged, T do not Ike to be wooed in the presence of another, even though he be a slave. 'Tis not q Spanish maiden's way. sir"
 Your will now, lady" said the buc- cancer, with hideous attempt at gal lantry, "is my law. Afterward-'twill be another matter Out. Carib. but be within call. Now, madam, we are alone. Speak you the English tongue? The conversation had been carried on in Spanish heretofore. "Indinerently, senor."

 She looked desperately at the clock. The hour was close at hand. So great was the strain under which she was la- boring that she felt she could not con- tinue i've minutes longer. Would AL varado never come: Would anybody come! She sat motionless and white as marble. while the chieftain stared at her in the pauses of his monologue.
 He came around the table and ap- preached her. Notwithstanding the quantity of liquor be had taken he was physically master of himself. she noticed with q sinking heart. As he drew near she sprang to her feet also and backed away from him, throwing out her left hand to ward him on. at the same time thrusting her right hand into her bosoEI.
 He was right upon her now. She thrust him, unsuspicious and unpre- pared. violently from her, whipped out the dagger that Hornigold had given her and faced him boldly.
 It was 10 o'clock. and no one had yet appeared. The struck hour reverberat- cd through the empty room Would Alvarado never comei Had 1t not been that she hoped for him she would have driven the tiny weapon into her heart at once. but for his sake she would wait ( little longer.

Cow Man Was Milking Killed, But He
Was Not Stunned,

Reports of the damage done by the
terrific thunder storm on Thursday af-
.ternoon are just coming in and some
Istrange tales of the peculiar freaks Of
the lightning are being revealed, slss
the oxford, Pa. correspondent OF the
West Chester Local News. while
milking at his farm near Little Brit

hurt as a BAH OF lightning killed the
COW he was milking and stunned two
others on either side of him. He was
not even shocked. A bolt also struck
the house of John Davern. between OK
ford and Barnsley. 1t seemed 90 go
directly through the middle of ihe
house. tearing the end entirely of the
kitchen and shaking mp the residents
pretty badly. A bed post on one of the
beds was wrenched off and throw .
across the room. The house took fire,
but by the prompt action of the DAY.
erns was easily extingushed.
The house Of Joseph Brown was also
istruck and pretty badly battered Up
/ Here the bolt struck the chimney aud
scattered the bricks in all directions
Through the heldsSom of them were
found nearly 200 yards away from the
house. None Of the inmates was hurt
I'm the central part Of the town but
little damage was done save where a
bolt struck telephone pole in front of
THE oxford Hotel and broke up several
cross arms without doing further dam
lage Altogether the storm was one OF
the most severe that has ever visited

Fashions IN Paris

1.-THE leading feature OF the present
styles is "A note of dignihed simplicity,
which will certainly remain throughout
the Autumn" says Edouard La Font
anc. the celebrated Partisan dress
critic. I'm the July Delineator 81 mean
simplicity of outline, as trimmings are
still largely used but there Is "a tend
ency toward elimination I'm this direc-
tion. skirts are being trimmed with
fewer hounces, are less complicated
with plaits and traps, and the plain
gorci skirt IS becoming more popular
However. when "a somewhat elaborate
appearance is wanted the tunic or
double skirt II often resorted TO-, and
this effect is likely to be seen more
Inter on.
"As to colors, white, ecru, gray and
slight hairline or checker effects in
colors over a white background are the
choice for simple fashions.
THE success OF pongees. either plain
or embroidered. seems to be at am
end. silk muslins are also on the wane.
but taffetas and taffetas-chiffon find
general acceptance.
''The half-loug and puffed sleeves.
finished with short hounces, edged with
lace. are the most favored. Tney af-
ford an opportunity TO wear long
gloves, which add a charming touch
of refinement TO any costume.
"The present season Is less favorable
than former ones have been TO the
elaborate French style of tailor-made
costumes, and the classic English un-
trimmed modes are preferred. silk
coats and jackets are among the typi-
cal and successful garments of the
moment, and there is room for endless
fancy in their Shipping and trimming.
