from 10000 to 10000 acres of remark
ably rich farming land near Green

John Burt that the bribery money had

His Sinking Vessel and Narrowly
Escaped Death by Drowning.
II Tokio.-An officer OF the naval stan
has made a statement In which he
pays high tribute to some OF the Rus
sian officers participating In the battle
OF the Sea OF Japan. His statement
follows:
There were several Russian Of
fcers whose conduct IN the recent bat
tie deserves to be held high as a
model and example for all naval Of
ilcers Among them the most note
worthy was the conduct OF Captain
Rodionof, commander OF the Nakhi-
moff. His gallantry is as praise
worthy as that OF Commander Hirose.
During the first day OF the battle the
Nakhimoff was exposed to the fire OF
our main squadron and sustained seri-
Gus damage During the night she
was made the object Of severe torpedo
attacks and finally completely dis
abled, drifted close to the Tsushima
THE vessel was sinking and Cap
tain Rodionoff sent seventy of the
crew to land at Tsushima, remaining
aboard himself with his chief navi-
gator When the Japanese approached
the sinking vessel they asked the cap
tain to leave the vessel. but he re-
fused. The Japanese boarded the YES
sci and endeavored to drag him into a
boat, but he resisted. The ship was
listing badly and threatened momen-
tarily to plunge into the sea. The
Japanese were forced to draw of and
the captain went below, to there meet
his death. Suddenly the ship went
down and our men thought the gal
liant officer was drowned. But provi-
dence willed otherwise. We found the |
captain and navigator in the water |
locked in each others arms They had |
embraced at what they thought was
the moment OF death and were partly
unconscious when we rescued them"

FREAK DINNERS A FAD.
Entertainments Where Guests Cook
for Themselves.


Freak dinners are fad. An or
binary dinner has lost its charm for
some people who go out much during
the season, and now that Paris has set
its seal of approval OF the Corinthian
dinner at which everyone is obliged
to cook something, New Workers and
Chicagoans will select this form of
entertainment as diversion.

Of an artist gave ore of these cook

When the meal was cooked it was

But cooking has become such fad
of late that it is considered quite
smart to know how to cook some par

host acts as cook, have increased the
desire for culinary knowledge, as

CHAPTER TX.

PaulS Departure From Nj 2tlakahtla.
Paul Miller's discovery that the
white man prospecting on the island
was one Of the men who had captured
the hermit, and beyond doubt one Of
the four who had robbed him. for a
moment deprived him OF speech. He
had his own reasons for not wishing
to be recognized by the man who had
robbed him and attempted his life. He
also had strong reasons for wishing
to have him held prisoner. He be-
lieved the man could unfold the whole
story of the robbery and mystery of
the hermit and determined to make
him do SO before leaving the island.
After a lew moments the babel of
voices without ceased, and the crowd
gathered near the house began to dis
perse. The thought then occurred to
his mind that the prisoner, having
been arrested for trespassing, might
be released on his solemn promise
never to return. With this new dan
ger in his mind he started toward the
door, when he was met by Father Dun
can.
What have they dcne with the pris-
oner?" he asked anxiously.
He has been sent to the prison to
be detained for while until certain
mysteries with which he is connected
are cleared up" said the old man.
Father Duncan, do you think the
fellow is secure? Do you think there
is no danger OF his escaDe?"
None whatever. My Indians are
very watchful and careful. They will
obey me to the letter"
Then let us sit here and compare
notes for few moments"
He seated himself by the old mis-.
sionary and told him of his rescue by
the mysterious old man of the noun
tains whom he had called the hermit.
Then he told OF the capture of the her.
NIT. and concluded with:
This man was one of the three who
seized the good old man and took him
away from the cavern"
The interest OF good Father Duncan
increased, and he shook his head. say
ing:
This is certainly very. very
strange"
There is mystery in it all which
l am unable to solve. | cannot COM
prehend who this strange hermit can
be, unless he is the captain to whom
you refer
1T looks very much as if the unfor-
tunate man was the beloved captain
whose mysterious disappearance has
occasioned SO much Distress
Paul remembered the story which
the ex-sailor, Glum Ralston had told
him of his captain, and also recalled
to his recollection the mysterious wal.
rus hide.
His anxiety to escape from the
island and return to the Klondyke
where his friends were, was more
than over-balanced by a desire to
learn something of the motives OF
the trespasser.
"Mr. Duncan, will your friends see
that he does not escape?"
So" Father Duncan answered. "My
friends are kind and Christian men
yet they have by no means lost theil
native watchfulness.
Paul had ample proof, in time, Of
the danger of over-confidence. The
third night after his visit to the jai
he was awakened by a loud noise il

There came the report of a gun
