SAN BERNARDINO, June 25.--Frank
Calucci, well known restaurant man
who has been a resident of San Ber-
nerdino for the past twenty years, has
disappeared from his home and II Is
believed has taken his own life. He has
been Ill for several months and his mind
had become somewhat affected. Some
FIVE years ago he had a similar illness,
which at that time affected his mind
and he attempted his life then by
shooting, but did not succeed In killing
himself. His recent illness had greatly
depressed his spirits. The officers are
making thorough search of the sur
rounding country in hope of getting
some trace Of him.

CHAPTER VI.

|
|I4 Colonel Wilton's plantation,
|S178S| upon high bluff, from
&S3a&SJ which, as at that point the
river made wide bend, one could see
up and down for a long distance in
either direction, was the beautiful home
of the Talbots, known as Fairview
| Hall.
On the evening of the raid at the Will
ton place Madam Talbot and her son
were having a very important CONVEX
sation. Madam Talbot was a widow
who had remained unwedded again
from choice. Rumor had it that many
| gentlemen cavaliers Of the neighbor-
hood had been anxious to take to their
own hearthstones the person of the
fair young widow, so early bereft, and
| incidentally were willing to assume
the responsibility of the management
Of the magnificent estate which had
been left to her by her most consider
ate husband
Among the many suitors gossip held
that Colonel Wilton was the chief, and
it was thought at one time that his
chances Of success were of the best,
but so far at least nothing had come
of ali the agitation, and Madam Talbot
lived her life alone, managing her plan
tation, the object Of the friendly ad-
miration of all the old bachelors and
W1dowers of the neighborhood. She
had devoted herself to the successful
development of her property with all
the energy and capacity of a nature
eminently calculated for success and
was now one Of the richest women in
the colony. One son only had blessed
her union with Henry Talbot, and Hill
airy Talbot was young man just turn
ed twenty-five years Of age and the
idol of her soul. Too self contained
and too proud to display the depth of
her feelings except in rare instances.
and too sensible to allow them to in
terfere in the training of the child, she
had spared neither her heart nor her
purse in his education, with such hap
py results that he was regarded by all
who knew him as one Of the finest
specimens Of young Virginia that it
were possible to meet. OF medium
height, active, handsome, dark eyed.
dark haired, fiery and impetuous in
temperament, generous and frank in
disposition, he was model among
men. Trained from his boyhood in

go, my son, and God be with you"
she said solemnly.
He stepped lightly out on the porch
and, swinging into the saddle Of the
horse which awaited him with the ease
and grace of an accomplished horse
man, galloped off in the moonlight
night, followed by the groom.
The little old woman stood rigidly in
the doorway a moment looking after
her departed son, and then she walked
quickly down to rustic seat on the
brow Of the hill and sat down heavily,
following with straining eyes and
yearning heart his rapidly disappear
ing figure. The same pang that every
mother must feel, those who have a
son at least, once in her life, if no more,
came to her heart. All her prayers
had been unavailing, her requests IN
needed, her pleas and wishes disregard
ed. She had an idea, not altogether
warranted perhaps, but still she had it,
that the influence was not so much the
example of General Washington, nor
the eloquence of Patrick Henry, nor the
force Of neighborly example, nor rigid
principle, but the influence of a sunny
head, and pair of youthful eyes, and
a merry laugh, and a young heart, and
pleading voice. These have always
stood in the light of mother since the
world began, and these have taken her
son from her side. All her hopes gone,
her dreams shattered, her sacrifice
vain, her love wasted, she bowed her
white head upon her thin hands and
wept quietly in the silent night. The
deep waters had gone over her soul,
and the rare tears of the old woman
bespoke breaking heart

|@1S55SSI home of the Wiltons, one by
(As2ssg) river and the other over the
hills farther inland. Talbot had chosen
the river road and was riding along
with a light heart, forgetful of his
mother and those tears which indeed
she would not have shown him, and
full of pleasant anticipatons as to the
effect of his decision upon Katharine.
AS he rode along in the moonlight
his mind, full Of that calm repose
which comes to men when they have
finally arrived at a decision upon some
point which has troubled them, felt
free to range where it would, and nat
urally his thoughts turned toward the
girl he loved. He was getting along in
life, twenty-four his last birthday,
while Katharine was several years his
junior. 1t was time to settle himself,
and if he must ride away to the wars
it were well, pleasant at least, to think
that he was leaving at home a wife
over whom he had thrown the protect
ing agis of his name
Katharine would be much happier
his thoughts dwelt tenderly upon her
and the defnite arrangement would be
better than his tacit understanding.
He would speak out that very night,
never doubling the issue, and get it
done with. Of course that was all that
was necessary.
When she knew that he was engaged
heart and soul in the cause of the Rev
olution she would be ready to yield
him anything.
So musing the light hearted gentle
man galioped along. The intervening
distance was soon passed over, and
Talbot found himself entering the ia
miliar stretch Of woodland which
marked the beginning Of the colonel's
estate. Under the trees and beneath
the high bank Of the river the shadows
deepened. Scarcely any light from the
moon fell on the road. 1t was we'll
therefore that our cavalier drew rein
and somewhat checked the pace of his
horse, advancing with some caution
over the familiar yet unseen road, for
just as he came opposite the land end
OF the pier which led out to the boat
house the animal stopped with such
suddenness that less practiced rider
would have suffered severe fall. The
horse snorted and trembled in terror
and began rearing and backing away
from the spot. Looking down in the
darkness, Talbot could barely discern
a dark, bulky object lying in the road.
"Here, Dick" he called to the groom,
who had stopped and reined in his own
horse, apparently as terrified as the

A Steep Naval Program.


Daily States.
A few days ago the Washington
correspondent of the New York
Evening Poet inquired of a naval
officer how many bsttleships
should be constructed to satisfy
the navy. The answer was seven
ty battleships, and the officer in
terviewed proceeded to show what
disposition should be made of the
ships. Sixteen, he said, should be
stationed on the Atlantic coast,
twenty four on the Gulf of Mexi-
co and the Caribbean Sea, sixteen
on the Pacific coast and sixteen in
the Philippines.
In discussing this imposing es-
innate of the sea-power necessary
to satisfy the navy the Springfield,
Mass, Republican says: Seven
ty battleships would cost, at pre-
vailipg figures. about $3.50. 900 900,
more rather than less. It is in
teresting to note that before we
went a-world-powering the naval
board laid down q comprehensive
plan ofour desirable naval strength
and placed our needs q just ten
battleship. Times have changed
since aud the Contrasts striking"
There is no doubt whatever
about the times having changed
and conditions also which have
made 1t necessary for this country
to have a stronger navy. The peo-
pie appreciate the fact aud are
willing to furnish the money, but
it is quite certain that they will
balk 6ercely at the programme of
seventy battleships. They have
submitted to a good deal of skin
ming by the government for one
purpose or another, but they will
object to the process when it ex-
tends too deep under the rind.
