CHAPTER vii.
The NihiIist Rendezvous.

The Nihilist Rendezvous.
A long. low room. with heavy wood
en- rafters supporting the ceiling,
which was grimed and blacked by
the smoke of dozen oil lamps.
A room with hot, sitting, suffo-
eating atmosphere-ther result of the
smoking lamps, the fumes of tobacco
and an almost red-hot stove, which
had raised the temperature to an un-
comfortable, almost an unsupportable
degree.
A long table, upon which was scat
tered miscellaneous collection of
implements, couple of rude benches,
chair or two, and some rough boxes
utilized as seats, constituted most of
the furnishings.
The half-dozen steps, leading up to
heavily barred door, indicated that
the room was cellar, and the two
small windows, both with heavy shut
ters of solid wood, which were only a
few inches higher than the bottom Of
the door, were Of apparently little
practical use, either for light or ven
tilation.
Within this underground apart
ment, for such it really was, were
gathered. on the same evening as that
on which the events described in the
last chapter occurred, some twelve or
fifteen men and three women Their
faces, darkened even beyond their nat
ural color by the smoke and Crime,
were marked by suppressed excite.
ment, while their conversation ami
mated in the extreme, was carried on
in that suppressed way suggestive Of
extreme caution and ceaseless appre-
hension.
Not that all were talking.
There were workers there, men who
toiled and delved and whose grimy
hands, hard and knotted, gave evil
dence that theirs had been no child's
play. A long coil Of wire, some cleo
trical instruments, and some curiously
suggestive metal globes, were some
of the objects on the table of which
mention has already been made.
The conversation, after an interval
of silence, had begun again.

So Dale was the son Of another gal

Americas first admiral, John Paul
Jones, on the "Bonhomme Richard"

cabin boy when II years old, and
was a shipmaster at 10 years of age.
When the revolutionary war broke out
he entered the Continental navy as a

to Mill prison, in England. Contriv-

: Brave Sailors Grave I

Especial Correspondence.)

Although thousands of Americans
have visited Bermuda, that little ely
sum in the Atlantic, few Of them even
know that one of the noble sons OF
their race lies buried In foreign soil,
SO close to their own shores. And
now that the spirit of reverence and
patriotism for the country's dead has
been awakened and that the body OF
Paul Jones has been removed to the
United States, efforts will perhaps be
made to bring the remains of Richard
Sutherland Dale to America.
Far from the gaze of the casual
tourist, in a corner of the churchyard
of St. Peters, the Oldest ecclesiastical
edifice in the Bermudas, his grave may
be found Neglected by the country
for whose honor he fought it is now
cared for by the descendants of those
who succored him in his hour of need
and strove to relieve his distress.
And, who was Dale?" you ask Here
is the simple story of his life as told
by the memorial tablet over his
grave:

for coming back, and made me pay it,"
The squire gave him legal advice,
which follows: Going to the livery

owner.

MILkMAIDs SING At WORK.
Music Proved to Have Good Effect OF
Field of Milk

Field of Milk.
Dairy farming approaches nearest
to perfection in Switzerland, and there
the milk maid with the sweetest voice
commands the highest salary.
The relationship between good sing
ing and good dairy work was proved
several years ago at a farmers con.
gress at Interlaken.
At Interlaken, in milking contest
three days long, the same cows, milk.
ed in silence, yielded 200 quarts of
milk; MIXED by maids with fair
voices, they yielded 22O quarts; MIXED
by maids with beautiful voices, they
yielded 240 quarts.
This proof of fact that had long
been suspected set premium on the
milkmaids who could sing we'll. They
who could not sing well took up at
cnce the study Of vocalization, and
hence it is that Switzerland has SO
many singing schools.
Milking time in the little mountain
republic is easily remarked by the
tourist on account of the enormous
volume of song that then scars up.
Silent milking, in the eyes of the
frugal Swiss farmer, is almost a crime
and the dairy maid, who milks in 81.

Swiss maids who apply for places in

singing as in milking and butter-mak.

Sure Sign Of Death.

The doctors who soothe the demon
of drink in the alcoholic ward of a
New York hospital have recently dis.
covered an unfailing indication of the
approaching death Of patients. One
of them described 1t in this way:
THE great majority of alcoholic pa
tients in this city are truck drivers.
Naturally, when they are driving a
team and are continually urging their
steeds ahead. It's all right as long
as they keep driving ahead. but the
moment we hear them begin to back
their horses we know it's all OFF, and
we might as well order their shrouds,

THE second beauty commandment

Keep your teeth white.

Keep your step light.

There are other commands, and the
most important is: Keep your eyes

Don't let the dust settle in them and

He lost his right leg in an engage
ment between the U. S. Frigate
President and squadron of his

of War on the 18th of
January. A. D. 1915.
His confinement caused Il severe COM

then he fell all in heap only to rise
again as prisoner of war.
Aided by freshening breeze and
guided by the sound of firing, four
British supports came to the aid OF
the Endymion, and Decatur, beaten
only by superior numbers and seeing
that further resistance was hopeless,
hauled down mis- flag in token OF sur
render.

Capt Hope of the Endymion set his
course for Bermuda, but steered into
a gale, and only two storm-swept, bat.

A curious fact in the history of the
Dale family is that one of its mem.
bers accompanied Sir George Somers
on his voyage to bring succor to the
distressed Virginia plantation. Som.
ers was wrecked in the Bermudas, but
Dale reached the colony on the main
land, was appointed magistrate, and
planted new settlements on the James
river, near the spot where the city OF
Richmond now stands.

Death Of Thomas Dale.
In 1911 Sir Thomas Dale was sue
ceeded by Sir Thomas Gates, subse-
quently was placed in command Of
the East India feet. and died fighting
the Dutch near Bantam, in the East
Indies.
Reference to Sir George Somers re-
calls the fact that historic interest
from British and American alike so
far as the Bermudas are concerned,
centers around his death. Over ths
tomb in which his heart lies buried
there is an inscription recording the
fact and stating that the worthy ad-
miral and colonizer of the Bermudas
lost his life in carrying help to the "in-
fant and suffering" colony now known
as the State of Virginia. In full the
inscription on the tablet, which was
erected in 1876, reads:

the British ship of war Endymion.
During this fight Dale gallantly took
the place of gunner whose head
had been blown off by shot fired
from one of the Endymion's forecastle
chase guns, determined to at
least avenge the death of this
messmate. After two hours de-
sultory firing, in which neither
vessel did the other much harm,
