Swiftwind shook him off, his nostrils
dilating as II he had been touched BY
some venomous reptile.

But again Sherwood caught his arm
and clung to him with the despair
with which drowning man clings tc

His words rang out with an -inten-
sity of conviction. Revolted, Mortified
at what he had seen the highest iculti-
walton come to, the ultra refinemen,
which led eventually to crime, he flung
aside with horror all that he had beer
taught by the white man. II at tha'
moment he could have burned 1t out
Of his brain with a red-hot iron, ne
would have done so. He felt, sudden
ly, as If he had been robbed OF all his
mental and moral training and Of the
habit Of years. If this was what edu-
cation and culture brought man to
then he preferred the ignorance and
primitive ideas Of truth and honol
which existed among the men and wo-
men of the blood from which he .had
sprung, and which still flowed hotly
in his veins.
OF Sherwood he thought just ther
nothing, and cared nothing.
But he was suddenly reused by the
awful change that came over the sur
geon's face, and his experience TOLD
him what 1t meant.

unfortunate man. clutching with one

But the savage, for savage at thai
moment he was, remained unmoved al
the piteous appeal, even though he
knew that it came from the lips OF
dying man.
He caught his hands and raising
them high in air, hurled the helples:
wretch from him.
Monster! Take your white poison

With a shrek of mortal despair
Sherwood reeled backward and fel

His piercing cry brought Helen Dare
in alarm from her room.
What is it?" she asked, in terrified
tones, leaning over the balustrade.
Swiftwind looked up at her.
"Cholera!" he replied, tersely.
"Yes, there!" she said. not exactly

Of Florence's room.

More Rainfalls Than FormerIy-Farrn.
ing Making Progress In Desert.
Several French explorers specially
trained in route surveying and the
natural sciences are now at work in
the Sahara or have completed studies
that have taken them across the des-
ert or required long journeys in vari-
Gus parts Of It.
The latest Of these reports Is by r.
Chudeau and is printed in La Geo
graphic and it throws new light upon
the occupations and condition Of the
groups Of Inhabitants scattered over
the southern part Of the desert south
Of Algeria and Tunis.
One Of the most interesting of Chu-
deau's deductions Is that slow climatic
changes are gradually increasing the
water supply in the southern part OF
the desert, and he finds that the sup
preston by the French Of the slave
trade across the desert has turned the
Inhabitants, who were formerly mid
dlemen between the slave catchers Of
the south and the slave buyers Of the
northern oases and of Morocco and
Tripoli, to the better utilization Of
their water supply, the raising Of more
camels and other domestic animals
and larger crops. sfA
The mountain country of Air. cover
ed with extinct volcanoes, is FAR out in
the desert about 800 miles north Of
Sudan, but 1t rains there every year
beween June and October, and in 1905
there were seventeen transforms. On
an average there are five or six of
them a year. but in some years there
are only two.
The regime Of the Sudan practically
prevails in Air. The rain drains from
the mountain slopes into the valleys.
where vegetation fiourishes finely, in
Guiding several varieties of palms and
other trees, and the date is grown,
though inferior In quality.
In the depressions of Damergu are
marshes and little lakes and an abund-
ance Of millet Is grown. This is one
Of the most animated parts Of the Sa-
hara. aeI al ..JGi&
The security which the French now
give to life and property has enabled
many Of the people to leave the large
villages and to build little hamlets at
points favorable for tilling the soil

days Of rain and there were storms IN
July; but there are years Of dryness
also, as in 1904, though as the i'm

within reach Of the roots, the country
does not suffer much unless the

sonalities soon became well known to
the readers of the papers, and no one
ever dreamed that they were merely
the pen names Of young Baldwin. Al
the outbreak Of the war, Baldwin en-
listed, and soon after he reached the
front wrote several letters to a New
ark paper, among which was curious
one recounting the death of the
mythical Greenwood. 1t read:
Mr.. Editor: I only fulfill the dying
request of a beloved comrade in ap-
prising you Of his sad fate. TWO
months ago a Frank Greenwood joined
our company and soon became IA
vorite for his courage and good com
radeship Last week he received his
death wound while sitting on camp
stool in front Of his tent, from shell
thrown by a rebel battery, which burst

In 1854 Baldwin was sitting on
stool just outside his tent, when a
shell from a rebel battery burst with
in twenty feet Of him and killed him
instantly.

A strange instance Of the force Of
these unaccountable presentiments is
related Of the French commander
Thurot. His ship had touched at q
port In Ireland for supplies, and was
fast leaving the coast Of the Emerald
Isle, when Thurot suddenly said, Il

Four hours later the lookout at the
masthead reported three sails to wind
ward, and soon they proved to be Eng
lish men of war. An engagement fol-
lowed, and the French ship ran up un-
der the quarter Of one of the English
men and tried to board. Thurot led
the boarding party, and had hardly set
foot upon the decks Of the English
vessel when he fell, shot through the

ODD FELLOWS MEET.

Seventh Annual Convention in Els
worth Last Week.
The seventh annual convention Of Odd
Fellows of the tbirty-second and thirty
third districts was held at Odd Fellows
hall, Ellsworth, last Friday. Between
500 and 600 Odd Fellows were present, the
attendance being about the average OF
previous years. Thirty lodges were rep
resented, including every lodge in the two
districts.
Grand Master Charles II. Morrill,, of
Newport; Past Grand Representative Leon
F. Higgins, of Brewer; John NJ. Ward,
grand high priest of the encampment, and
w. C. Miller, grand representative of the
encampment, were among the prominent
Odd Fellows present.
The convention was called to order in
the afternoon by District Deputy Grand
Master Fred p. Haynes, of Ellsworth.
Officers OF Lejok lodge took the chairs,
and opened the lodge in the third degree.
The initiatory degree was then exempli-
fed by Grindstone lodge, of Winter Har-
Dor, and the first degree by Island lodge,
OF Bar Harbor.
At O'Clock supper was served in the
banquet hall, with extra tables spread in
the store above.
At the evening session, the second de-
gree was exemplified by Ocean lodge, OF
Northeast Harbor, and the third degree
by Pemetic lodge, OF Southwest Harbor.
The evening work was followed by
speeches by Grand Master Morrill, and
others. At midnight another supper was
served.
The convention was a most successful
one throughout. The interest was mann
tanned from the opening of the lodge in
the afternoon until the last cigar was out
in the early hours Of the following morn
ing. The degree work was excellent.
The committee from Lejok lodge which
had charge of arrangements came in for
its full need of praise from the visiting
Odd Fellows for the entertainment
afforded.
The next convention will be held at
Ellsworth Jan. II, 1908.

Fatally Burned.

MARIAvILLE, Jan. 26 Especially
Sarah Orcutt, aged seventy-five years,
died last Thursday morning from burns
received the day previous.
Mrs. Orcutt was STOPPING in front OF the
stove feeding hoop shavings in at the
front to quicken the fire. She did not
notice that some of the shavings had
burned off and fallen to the floor, until
she started to rise, when the flames leaped
up over her.
Her daughter, Mrs. Joseph G. Frost,
with whom she lived, tried unsuccessfuliy
to extinguish the flames. Mrs. Orcutt's
grandson, hearing the alarm, started Tor
the house and met his grandmother in the
door. With presence OF mind he rolled
her in the snow quickly extinguishing the
flames, but they had done their fatal
work.
DR.. j. HI. Patten, of Amherst, was sum-
moned, and everything possible was done
to relieve Mrs. Orcutt's sufferings. She
died in the early hours OF Thursday
morning.
The deceased was the widow OF william
Orcutt. Beside the daughter with whom
she lived, she leaves one other daughter
Mrs. Matilda Frost. She was an esti-
mable woman and will be greatly missed
She was an earnest worker in the Free
Baptist church.
Funeral services were held Sunday, MISS
Ida Garland officiating. The pail bearers
were grandsons of the deceased-Lester
Custer, Charles and Urban Frost.

various masonic bodies occupying them.
until such time as permanent arrange
ments can be made. Esoteric lodge also
offers the use Of regalia and paraphernalia.
1t is probable that this offer will he
accepted, and possibly arrangements win
be made by Lygonia by lease to remain at
the Esoteric lodge ROOMS for a time. at
least.
1t is not likely that the State street
building will again be used for lodge pur-
poses, as the lot is too narrow for suitable
room and hall. 1t is probable that, il not
sold, the building will be rebuilt to rent.
THE BURNED BUILDING.
The building which was burned is one
OF the old landmarks OF the city. It was
built in 1919 by Seth Tisdale. The first
floor was used by him as store, the sec
ond floor was for offices, and the third
floor was public hall, known as Tisdale
hall. Lygonia lodge bought third in
terest in the property. taking the upper
floor as lodge room, in 1868, and had oc-
cupied it continuously ever since. In
1904 the lodge bought the remainder OF
the property, and remodeled the second

floor into kitchen and banquet hall, at
considerable outlay.
The Ellsworth Bank, which failed in
1854, occupied rooms on the second floor
of the building during its existence. Here
also, the short-iived Hancock Journal had
its office. For some time, also, the Con-
gregational society, before the building of
its vestry, occupied rooms on the second
floor for evening services and prayer meet
ings.
The ground floor was for ten or twelve
years occupied by THE ELLSWORTH
AMERICAN, until it moved to its present
quarters in the First national bank build
ing in 1S99
