NBTrLRToN ESTATE $34,51O.68,


 The appraisers on the estate of Ed ward E. Nettleton, the contractor of this city, who died recently, filed a re- port in the probate court yesterday showing the estate to be worth SEA- 510.66. The estate has been represented to be insolvent because of claims tha{ have been received, and commissioners have already had several bearings. The Saybrook bank of Essex has a claim for about $4O.0OO against the estate in notes.
 Mir. Nettleton owned S1,S55 worth of real estate, and although it is a small amount it required several pages of typewriter matter to enumerate it. Some of the pieces of land were put in for only $5.Mr. Nettleton had the con- tract for furnishing ties to the New Ha- ven road, and much of the real estate consists of woodland used in the busi- ness. He had s2S, ,256.25 on deposit in the various savings banks throughout the state. Isaac F. Terry of Bridgeport, and Frank c. Metcalf of Southbury made the appraisal.

DELICIOUS SUMMER DRINKS IN
 CUBA.

DELICIOUS SUMMER DRINKS IN
 CUBA.
 Cafes are found everywhere in Hav- ana, as they are in Paris, and while the tables are not on the sidewalk, as in the latter place, the cafes all open to the street, the sides of the buildings literally rolling up like curtains or folding like screens. The counters in these refreshing places are piled high with fresh fruit of every description and also green cocoanuts. Many drinks are made with the native fruits like the guana-bana or sour sop, and the anona or sweet sop, and the sopo- tas or star apples. These fruits are made into ice creams, which are very good and quite unlike anything in the ice variety in America. Lemonade in Cuba is invarably favored with cinna- mon, and the addition is a pleasing one to the average taste. Tamarind paste dissolved in water is also new to Americans, although the paste can be purchased in any grocer's in America. One of the most popular drinks in Cuba is one called panal, which is made from a mixture of sugar and white of egg dried in rolls of about six inches long. The panal or rolls, which are quite brittle and as white as snow, are served in glass of ice water or flavor ed with tamarind or lemon. These egg. rolls are made in large quantities, and they are stacked up on the coun- ters like the fruit.-Harriet Quimbey, in Leslie's Weekly.

 City Court.
 James Fahey of Scranton. Pa, and Patrick Sullivan of 71 Minor street, two railroad switchmen, tried to prove an alibi yesterday as their defense on the charge of holding up two Swedes near the tin bridge" out by the Cedar Hill railroad station.
 Fahey has been here since the strike began, he testified, patroling the cut in citizens clothes. Sullivan has been in the employ of the road for seven years, hut has been a Watchman only since the strike began last week when he was or dered into the cut.
 Alex Nelson of IS View street and Andrew c. Anderson of 155 Fillmore street are the two men who claim to have been robbed. Nelson said;
 T was attacked by these two men about 10 o'clock Monday night near the tin bridge out by the Cedar Hill rall- road station. 1 was held by Sullivan who took away my money, about Sl4' while Anderson was seized and held by the other. Fahey. Fahey had a revol- yer. which he thrust into Anderson s face. Sullivan threw me on the ground and robbed me We met the two men and they claimed to be railroad detec' lives and showed us their badges"
 Nelson claimed that the attack LOOK place about 10 o'clock. Anderson told a story corroboratiye of that of Nelson, He was relieved of small sum or money also, he says.
 Officer McAllen testified that Nelson and Anderson came to the Grand ave- nue police precinct about 1O;SO o'clock, complained of being robbed and that a party was sent out to search for the robbers. The cut was searched but no trace of the men was found till about midnight, when the party went through the Union depot. At table eating a lunch sat Sullivan and Fahey. Nelson and Anderson identified them as the pair who had robbed them of their money. On the person of the two de- tectives wae found about $15
 Lawyer Edward Meara brought out from Nelson that his money consisted of a $1o bill and $2 bills. The money taken from the railroad detectives was in s2 bills, except for some small change.
 :. The assistant city attorney drew out from Sullivan that he had been dis charged from the Holyoke police force before coming to this city eight years ago. Sullivan denied that he held up a man in that cfsy. He has seven chil- dren.

Audrey Craven" by May Sinclair, author of the Divine Fire" one of the most brilliant and successful novels of the decade, is published by Henry Holt & Go. It was written before the "Di- vine Fire as was Superseded" which was recently published by Holt, and is meeting with deserved success. "Su- perseded" was strong in it's drawing of the characters to be met in scholastic life.
 This same power of characterization distinguished the Divine Fire" and 1t will contribute to the success of Audrey Craven, which is, by some critics, rank ed above "Superseded.'
 Audrey Craven is a pretty little wom- an with copper-colored hair and the soul of a spoiled child. Though "a good woman" she has a fatal fascina- tion for most men. Langley Wyndhann, the novelist, however, was proof against her charms, and punished her in unique fashion. Katharine Hardy, who is faithful unto death, furnishes a strik- ing contrast to Audrey. There are tell ing glimpses of the life of London writ CTS and illustrators, and not little l humor.

The rOpc aohtrred through the ar.
their backs turned to what might be
instant death, were brave and stanch
as he who looked it unfiinchingly In the
face.
"Heave" roared Stanhope to the
white visaged second officer standing
In the doorway far above him.
The O p whirred through the air, the
boat rose still higher to meet it, and
the coil struck Stanhope in the face,
flashing him savagely in the final spite
of the baffled gale which puny man
had conquered.
Never was blow taken with such
Christian charity.
"Backv' he cried, and the oarsmen,
not knowing what had happened, bent
against the tough blades. The tugs
sailors at the drag, though the engines
grinding at half speed were keeping
them grandly against the race not
more than $50 yards in the rear, failed
for an instant to understand what was
going on. But their captain had seen
the cast and read its significance.
Haul away" he beloved in a voice
of thunder and, to cheer them on, add
ed other words which showed that he
was no landsman.
Stanhope deftly knotted the light
house line to the loop taken off his
waist. He cast the Joined cords over
board.
"Thank God" he said, and he looked
up at the great pillar already growing
less in the distance.
Now from the kitchen, owing to its
height above sea level and the thick
ness Of the wall pierced by the win
dow. as soon as the boat came within
fifty yards or so of the lighthouse the
girls could see 1t no longer.
When 1t dropped out Of sight for the
last time Constance could not endure
the strain. Though her dry tongue
clicked In her mouth, she forced a de-
spairing cry.
Enid" she screamed, "lean out
through the window! 1t Is your place."
81 cannot! Indeed l cannot! He will
be killed! Oh, save him, kind Provi-
dence, and take my life In his stead!'
Constance lifted the frenzied girl In
her strong arms. This was no moment
for pulling fear.
"If ! loved a man. she cried, 'and
he were about to die for my sake I
should count 1t a glory to see him die"

The brave words gave Enid some
measure Of comprehension. Yes, that
was IL. She would watch her lover

came.
Helped by her sister. she opened the
window and thrust her head out. To
her half dazcd brain came the con-
seriousness that the sea had lost its
venom. She saw the boat come on,
pause. leap forward. the rope thrown
and the knot made.
AS the boat retreated she caught
%Stanhope's joyous glance. lie saw her
and waved his hand. Something he
said caused the two rowers for the first
time to give one quick glance back

idly away from the danger zone. She
knew them: she managed to send n
frantic recognition to all three.
Then, in an almost ovcrpowering re.
action, she drew back from the win
dow and tears of divine relief streamed
from her eyes.

At last a slgnaler stationed on the
tug was able to ask:
what shall we send flrstT"
And the answer came back:
"Water, milk, bread"
All night tinsmiths had labOred to In.
close food and clothing In water tight
cylinders ready for transport, and the
shining packages now began their voy-
aging from the tugs trawl beam to the
lofty gallery, three-fourths of the jour
ney being through the sea. When the
first consignment reached the rock an
other lusty cheer doomed from the
watching vessels.
Stanhope at least could picture the
scene In progress behind the grim gran
lite walls-Constance and Enid, with
others whom he did not know, serving
out generous drafts to thirsty and fam
ished and men, helping them.
selves last, and hardly able to empty
the eight gallon supply Of fresh water
before they were called on to distrib-
ute a similar quantity Of milk.
And then the bread, the cooked meat
all cut in slices, the timed soups and
meat extracts, the wines - for Trail
had taken charge Of the catering, and
his arrangements were lavish-what a
feast for people almost on the verge OF
starvation!
The hours flew until the tug signaled
that she must cast loose and back
away from the reef. The tide was
running westward now Soon the dan
ger would be active, and In any case
the Gulf Rock was saved from the
possibility Of famine during the next
fOrty-eight hours. So the hawser In Its
turn was buoyed, and Brands parting
instruction was not to attempt to re-
open communication during the dark
hours of the morning tide.
The wisdom of his advice was mani
fest. With farewell trumpetings the
vessels scurried off to Penzance, and
the telegraph Office was kept open all
night transmitting the word pictures
Of newspaper correspondents to thrill
the world with full descriptions Of the
way in which the Gulf Rocks fam
ished d~enizens had been relieved.

permanently, his friends thought, but
Jim Spence only grinned.
"You don't know the cap'n, sir. He'll
ave every mothers sOn-an' daughter
too-now he has a line aboard"
Then the ex-sailOr, chosen with Ben
from among dozens Of volunteers ow-
Ing to his close acquaintance with the
reef. bethought him.
You're treatin' Ben an me magnlf-
icent, SIR" he said, "but the chief credit
Is due to Mr.. Stanhope. We on'y obey
ed orders"
The millionaire laughed like a boy.
II have not forgotten Mr.. Stanhope,"
he said. 81 am sure your confidence In
Mr.. Brand will be justified. You watch
me smile when l ante up your share"
On board the tug and on the gallery
Of the lighthouse there was no time for
talk. The vessel, with the most skillful
handling, might remain where she was
for about four hours. She was already
more than q hundred fathOms within
the dangerous area marked by the
buoy, and there was much to be done
In the time.
The strongest rope, the best wire
hawser, has its well defined limit Of
strain, and the greater the length the
greater the tension. From the buoy
itself naught save a chain cable would
hold in such a sea. The tug must oper-
ate from the nearer base. She was
pitching and tossing In a manner cal
culated to daunt any II but a sailor,
and the slightest mistake made by the
skipper, the burly oilskinned man bal
ancing himself on the bridge with his
hand on the engine room telegraph,
would snap any line ever twisted.
So, briefly, this was the procedure
adopted. A stout rope was bent On to
that carried to the rock by Stanhope.
With this was sent a whip, thus estab-
fishing a to and fro communication.
The rope itself, when 1t had reached
the rock, was attached to n buoy and
anchored. Thus 1t could be picked up
easily II the thin wire hawser next dis
patched should happen to break.
A few words may cover a vast
amount of exertion. Before the sec
ond line, with its running gear, was
safely stayed around the body Of the
lantern - even the iron railing might
give way-a precious hour had elapsed,
and Stanhope was impatlently stamp
Ing about the bridge of the tender,
though none knew better than he that
not an unnecessary moment was being
lost.
The Red Cloud chief., 1906-10-19

cen g. fro T-...:y ;enuer made IL pos
sible to remain longer in the vicinity
of the rock than he had dared to hope.
Therefore he knew 1t was advisable to
adopt the certain means of communi-
cation of the thrown rope In preference
to the uncertainty of his own power to
reach and climb the ladder.
Flinging out his right arm he mo-
toned to the men in the lighthouse to
be ready to heave a coil. The wind
was the chief trouble now, but he must
chance that.
"'Vast pulling" he yelled over his
shoulder as n monstrous wave pranced
over the reef and enveloped the col
umn.
AYE, aye!" sang out his crew.
Up went the boat on the crest and a
fearsome cavern spread before his
eyes. revealing the seaweed that chung
to the lowest tier of masonry. In the
same instant he caught a fleeing
glimpse of a lofty billow rearing back
from the rocks on the north.
Down sank the boat until the door OF
the lighthouse seemed to be an awful
distance away. She rose again, and
Stanhope stood upright, his knees
wedged against the wooden ribs. One
piercing glance in front and another to
the right showed that the %antagonism
of the two volumes of water gave the
expected lull.

The boat shot onward. Once, twice,
three times the oars dipped with pre-
cision. These rowers, who went with
