one of the foremost savages- Upon
this the besiegers hastily retired 10
a little distance, carrying their limp
comrade with them.
1t took them half an hour TO work
up their courage to the point of an
other attack Fortunately, the door
of the hut was on the side oppo-
site the beach. where the besieged
party knew their boat was still Sc

however, dreading a return TO the
boat at night, still counseled resist

The second rush ended like the
frst-another savage was laid low,
and the besieSers retired. But be-
fore the sailors could congratulate
themselves and Mrs Elwell they
were in the presence of an uneX-
pected disaster. The hut was on
fire. They could see the warriors
watching the door in evident ex-
pectation of the emergence of the
enemy with offers of surrender
Taking advantage of this expeeta-
tion. Mrs. Elwell first and then the
five sailors crowled through the hole
they had made IN the side of the hut
and started OH q noiseless run for
the point on the beach where their
boat lay. They had covered half
the distance before the savages OBJ

shill war cries, brandishing their
weapons. the masked warriors were
after the fugitives.
Two sailors. with Mrs. Elwell be-
tween them, hurried at top speed TO
the boat. while the sailor with the
musket remaiLed in the rear, firing
back as he ran When the sailors
put their shoulders to the boat, in
which they had first placed Mrs. Ell

to the water. the leader of the can
nibals was not half dozen yards
behind them. But they gave the boat
such a thrust when il was afoat that
by the time all had scrambled aboard
they were out of reach of the spears.
For twelve hours, without food or
water. the party were compelled to
stick 10 the boat Then they were

kept her own counsel
Early on the third morning there
was a great outcry rom the chiefs

by Mrs Elwell and the sailors Pres
entity. in rushed the chiefs son in a
state of great grief and anger, fol-
lowed by several other natives. They
conveyed to the white visitors the
fact that the chief was dead. Then,
after an excited pow WOW, with men
acing gestures, they laid this mis-
fortune TO the near presence of the
visitors By friendly and compass
sionate gestures, Mrs. Elwell strove
TO quiet the saYages. and so far sue
ceeded that she and the sailors were
permitted TO move TO more distant
hut, where their presence would be
less likely to menace the health of
the chiefs successor. his son.
Having accomplished this removal
without molestation. Mrs Elwell and
the sailors saw the sun go down
that night. feeling a sense of toler-
able security But il was not long
after dark when the two sailors who
were on watch warned the little,
practically unarmed garrison that
they were about to be attacked.
Through creYices in the hut's
walls, Mrs Elwell and her eompan-
ions could see full score of hostile
natives advancing. armed with
spears and a sort of curved sword
and with stout bamboo. skin-covered
shields affixed 10 their left arms. Still
more eterror-inspiring were the facesO
these warriors. After the manner of
certain Polynesian tribes, they had
covered their faces with the most
hideous masks possible to conceive
The sailors, unarmed as they were
save for one Old musket, gave them
selves up for lost But Mrs EIwelI's 5
spirits were still undaunted When
the natives were within a few yards
of the hut she calmly went out alone
and confronted the leader. smiling
and asking by signs why they were
disturbed. Her gown, mostly white,
lighted by the moons rays, placed
her whole appearance in strange
contrast with the masked black and
war-like natives They paused and
consulted among themselves.

They seemed to see something
supernatural in the presence. un-
moved by their menacing aspect, of
that white and radiant figure stand
ing so calmly in their path. But
after much talk the leader sternly
motioned Mrs Elwell to retire 10
the hut. As he would listen to no
further argument, she obeyed.
The sailors Immediately closed the
rude door and barricaded it as best
they could They were relying on
their single musket TO frighten of
the warriors.
Ii was while in this desperate stu
alton that tae courage and high
spirit Of Mrs. Elwell especially amaz-

them as nothing else could have

In fact. il was Mrs Eiwell who
planned in detail the defense OF the
little garrison-the Cnly one that
could possibly have saved the party,
as later developments showed.
Nerve-rac}ing were the moments
that elapsed before the first assault.
The terror-inspiring aspect of the
hideously masked warriors was not

A PRETTY ROMANCE.
Miss Alice Ward Weds Senior
Don Juan Riano y
Gavaroae
Gayanges.

Washington, ID. O., Jan. 25.-The
wedding here today of Miss Alice
Ward, granddaughter of Mrs. John S.
Ward, TO Senior Don Juan Riano v
Gayanges, First Secretary of the Span
ish Legation, completes a pretty ro-
nance which Washington society has
watched with interest for several
years.
For long time Senior Riano paid
devoted attention to his bride of to-
day, and rumor had them engaged
many times 1t was not until last
spring, however, that Mrs. Ward gave
her consent TO their betrothal, and
even then il was understood that
there was TO be no definite date for
the wedding. 1t was said that Mrs
Ward favored an American husband
for her granddaughter, and again it
was limited that Mrs. Ward would con-
sent to the marriage when Senior
Riano was promoted.
But their devotion to each other
finally triumphed and put an end to
all speculation. The bride is an at
tractive young woman, brunette in
coloring, a society favorite and an
apt linguist. Senior Riano, who has
been assigned to this post for several
years. is one of the most popular mem
bers of the diplomatic corps. Owing
TO the difference in religious faith
the wedding was quiet one. Senior
Riano had as his best man Senior
Ojeda, the Spanish Minister, and the
bride was attended by her sister,
Mrs. Chandler Anderson, of New
York. The honeymoon will be spent
in Europe.

DO Not Suppress a Cough.

When you have cough do not try to
suppress it, but remove the cause. The
cough is only a symptom of some dis
sease, and the disease IS what you should
cure, then the cough win stop itself. The
most common cause for coughing is a
cold. Anodynes will promptly suppress
the cough, and preparations containing
chloroform, opium, ETC., are used for
that purpose, but they do not cure the
cold. Chamberlain Cough Remedy on
the other hand does not suppress the
cough, but relieves it by removing from
the throat and lungs the mucus which
obstructed The breathing and allaying
the irritation and the tickling in the
throat. 1t also opens the secretions and
effectually and permanently cures the
cold as well as the cough. For sale by
