What should L say? That he has met his

Father, you are stupid, they will not be sat
ished with such explanation. Jibaloff's men
are more numerous than ours, and they are de-
voted to him. If he does not appear, they will
lombard the castle; his yacht is an armed cruiser
really, as you know. They will take the place

"Oh, no. they will not, | shall see TO that"
He signed to his slaves who departed to swift
ly reappear with palanqun. The Count gave
number of sharp orders to his other servants
and then stepping into the palanqun was carried
from the chateau Madame following at dis
| tance in the rear of score of heavily armed men
! The descent to the beach was made in absolute
silence. The party proceeded to the yachts
boat which waited at the edge of the water, its
crew of four men standing on the sand These
were instantly surrounded, the men submitting
to the proceedings in wondering silence. Their
unsuspciousness cost them their lives, for next
second all four were seized and dispatched by
the negroes with the speed of lightning, not a
single cry being raised to warn Others of tn,
horrid deed
The yacht was lying at anchor about thre,
hundred yards from the shore, her tunnels bech
ing out an intermittent shower of sparks. which
showed how prepared she TO wing her high
to sea. The Counts paanquin led the way L

been light enough, a watcher would have seer

the solid stone.
Into this cavern the negroes plunged. but pres
emily returned bearing amongst them two long
dark and coffin-shaped objects with which they
staggered to the waters edge The palanqun
was now deposited, and the Counts faithful slaves
helped him to emerge and tenderly assisted ms
steps to the narrow line of surf that marked tne
beach There he occupied himself for some sllle
stopping over and playing with the long u"iN
cof6ns
At length he seemed satisfied and at his word
the mutes pushed the coffns into the sea, where
they rested floating for moment, their noses
pointing to the yacht whose broadside was pre-
sented to the beach. Then with slight whirrf
ing bubbling sound they started forward OF them
selves like things Of life heading through the
placid water of the bay straight for the unsus-
Meeting vessel, but with an increasing speed.
The old man uttered a sharp command and Two
negroes at once caught him in their arms and
hurried. followed pell-mell by the rest, into the
cavern from which they had recently abstracted
the strange living coffns
The last to enter pulled to the door, and they
were thus shut in together in a sepulchre.
Madame only stayed without, but then the Count
was not aware of her presence at ALL She quiet
ly moved towards the castle steps and commenced
the ascent But she did not go far, she was
wondering too fearfuly what those living coffns
might do when they should reach the Turkish
vessels side
Los Angeles herald., 1906-08-26

She had not long to wait before she knew.
The torpedoes must have struck the steamer
almost simultaneously for in a moment two ter
rife explosions that might well have been a
single sound, so closely did follow on the
heels of the other, resounded from the bay
Madame saw in gleam of intense white light
that lasted scarce second, the poor stricken
yacht plunge and shudder throughout her length,
in the same instant rise amidst leaping cataract
of water and burst into thousand blazing frag-
ments; then blackness, blackness more deep and
horrible than any darkness she had ever known.
The silence that followed was broken by the
noise of dull and intermittent crashes, the sounds
of falling wreck, of falling human bodies.
A mass of iron, half ton in weight, fell al
most at her feet grinding a pair Of steps to
pieces, then rolling and rumbling to the sand
Nothing touched her, but with gasp of horror
she fled up the steps, up up, never stopping until
the zone of light reached, for her soul was
sick with terror and even her callous heart was
scared with something of remorse, for she knew
that her counsel had sent to instant death half a
hundred human beings
She hurried to the Counts library anxious tC
drink and drown her fears with wine There
she found Francine who had just awakened from
her swoon, and was dazedly looking about her
Scarcely regarding the girl she caught up a glass
that rested fully charged upon the table anC
drained it to the dregs
Sense and memory returned to Francine wheI
she saw her enemy. Starting to her feet, with
cry of almost joy she caught up the knife which
had fail1d of its mission before.
"Stopl" gaSped Madame. Stop, there ha
been death enough tonight"
But Francine raised the knife on high Madam
shrieked out; "Stop you fool; he is dead deadl

The old man shook his head. 81 must insist
my dear Jibaoh, that you take your settlement
at once. never permit myself to allow uebt
OF honor to rest unsatished longer than the ter
mination of the game"
Jibalof was enticed by the Others earnestnes'
into feeling of security. well, If you insist,
he said
'Will you be so kind then as to get to your
feet. Thanks; you see that rug, kick it aside
Many thanksl"
The Turk was surprised to find that where the
rug had rested now appeared a patch of bare
floor about four feet square

for very few men have ever been privileged to

will find, my dear friend. that the centre board
is loose. Forgive me for troubling you so much
but you a younger than |. No, not
that way You must press the other end with
your foot-so."
Jibaloff unsuspectingy commenced to cross the
boards but Immediately his weight rested on the
planks the Count pressed sharply upon a corner
of the chair which he sat.
As if by magic, the floor that supported the
Turk gave way in the manner of a trap-door
suddenly released, and Jibaloff, with a wild
scream, was precipitated through the orifce thus
disclosed vanishing in an instant.
The Count at once reversed the action of his
chair, and the trap-door resumed its place with

Father will presently return and he will be
dangerous, for he has tasted blood Come, come,
say; there has been death enough tonight.
Come, let us hide from him. He is mad at times
like this"
Francne, sick and still half-fainting, permitted
herself to be dragged from the room, entirely
oblivious of the fact that she was supported
on the arm of her bitterest enemy, her fathers
murderess.

But the Count was not an ordinary observer.
When he was disrobed and lifted by his attend
ants into the huge carved four-poster bed that
rested on the centre of the richly carpeted floor,
he lay quietly.
He fell asleep with the smile still on his lips,
and slumbered gently babe.
The dumb slaves, on observing their master to
be asleep, at once retired, and so arranged them
selves that they presently reposed upon the mats

slightly ajar in order to permit the passing of

lamps were all kept blazing, for the old mani

Many Negroes Driven From City.

A remarkable city house-cleaning party
was carried out at Lake Charles, La, Sat
urday night, when $50 negro men and
women were put aboard a passenger train
and shipped out Of the town and parish.
They were placed on the same train with
the body of negro. who last week shot
and killed the city marshal of Jennings,
La. and who subsequently, died in jail at
Lake Charles from wounds received while
attempting to avoid arrest Shortly before
midnight the negro tenderloin, known as
the Hole In the WALL" was invaded by
several hundred white men, including some
members of the state militia, on their way
to- the annual state encampment. House
after house was visited, and the inmates,
not being even given time to Dress were
taken out and turned over to guard The
motley group was marched under guard OF
pistols to water tank about mile from
town, and q passenger train. was stopped,
and the negroes put aboard and their fares
paid az far as the parish line, members Of
the guard riding that far with them. Some
of the negro women were shipped away In
their night dresses.
When no weapon was found on one OF
the negroes II he could prove his identity
a. resident OF Lake Charles. he was not
molested.

INEXPERIENCED TIMERS.
Doubt Cast on Kelly's Reported Rec
ord at Spokane.

The men who timed Dan Kelly OF the
University of Oregon In his wonderful
sprinting at Spokane, Wash, few weeks
ago, profess to very indignant that tneir
tin ing is doubted In the east. One hundred
yards in nine and three-fifth seconds Is
such a marvellous performance that the
evidence will have to be the most convlnc-
ing and absolutely irrefutable before It Is
allowed. The fact Of the matter Is that
western records are always looked at with
suspicion because the timers are usually
inexperienced men. This has happened 30
frequently in the west, where there has
been a tendency to overlook small details
for the sake OF record, that this section
always has to suffer even when good per-
formances are actually made
At meeting in Wilkesbarre, Pa. last
May, j. D. Whitman. the University OF
PENNSYLVANIA sprinter did fGo yards In
nine and three-fifths seconds, according TO
the timers. The performance was so re-
markable that his trainer. the celebrated
Mike Murphy. was asked ABOUT IT, Salu
Mike: Neither Whitman nor any other
Splinter could do 100 yards in nine and
three-fifths seconds on that track. mex
perienced times accounts for It. Whitman
Is a consistent ten-second man, no better
at present.
The trouble with inexperienced timers is
that they start their watches with the
sound of the pistol instead of with the
flash, which always makes difference OF
one-fifth of a second in favor of the run
ner The stopping of the watch fraction
OF a second too soon will produce the same
effect. A further reason for doubling
Kelly's record is that at least three other
seconds to have been as close as they were

BASKET BALL RULES.
Intercollegiate Regulations Likely to
BE Generally Accepted.

From Indications the rules which now
govern intercollegiate basket ball will be
accepted rules for this sport the country
over within year or two. The old Y. M.
c. A. rules are now obsolete, and those in
charge have not been able to keep pace
with the times. This compelled the college
men to draw up their own rules. That they
are to be the recognized rules OF the future
has been shown by the fact that they have
been taken up by the schoolboys every
where and even many Y. NJ. c. A. teams,
which have played the old rules, are adopt
ing the college code. At the last meeting
of the intercollegiate basket ball rules
committee several important changes were
made in the rules which are bound to help
to incorporate In the rules a provision
legalizing the ''dribbling'' of the ball. This
was a feature introduced year ago by the
Pennsylvania team which won the cham
pionship. The officials were obliged to al
low this form of play because the rules did
not forbid it. The style was taken up by
all the other colleges and became so popu-
lar that there was little opposition to 1t
being legalized in the rules. Another Inn
portant change was that of dividing the
playing time into three periods instead of
the customary two. Some of the basket
ball reformers are now trying to secure a
rule which will make 1t necessary to play
in a cage instead of in an open room in
order to make the game faster, by doing
away with the necessity of stopping the
game every time the ball goes out of
bounds.

VETERAN scULLERs TO RACE.
Beach, Laycock, stanbury and Others
to Take Part

SYDNEY. July 16.-The recent victory Of
the old champion, James Stanbury, over
Towns, has given a great impetus to
things in the sculling world in Australia.
The late match on the historic Parramatta
river, attended as it was by great crowd,
quite recalled old times when Bill Beach
was the hero. Now another match has been
arranged and 1t will sprprise no one IL
record attendance is the outcome at the
end of July. To show what point the en-
thusiasm over this sport has reached, no
sooner did someone suggest that a race on
the same day the great event should be
put on for the old veterans than the idea
caught the public taste. and as many of the
old scullers fell in with 1t the project is
likely to issue in a huge success. Subscrip-
tions have come In very freely and good
ly sum Is likely to be handed over to the
''old buffers" 1t will be day for cham
pions and probably In this respect will be
without parallel In any part OF the world.
Even though the race may not turn out to
be very exciting. the very nature of the
event will cause intense interest. Already
Beach. Rush. Mclean. Hickey, Laycock
and others have signified their intention of
competing.
