~. Where speed was vital the rough
hewn native craft were far swifter
than the solidIy built lifeboat, with its
bread beam and deep draft.
And that was all. Though they
strained their eyes and spoke with
bated breath, never a sight of boat or
canoes was obtainable for hours after
the latter were swallowed up by the
trees which shrouded the creek at the
foot of Guanaco hill
Isobel Barring moved by genuine pity
for her distraught friend, tried to in
duce her to leave the deck, but she
shrank away terrified by the FIRE which
blazed from the blue eyes resting on
her for an instant. Mrs. Somerville
came but she, too, was repulsed.
When Christobal made serious effort
TO lead her away she threatened him
with the fereeness of a mother defend
ing her child from evil.
But relief was vouchsafed in the
worst throes of her agony.
Boyle or Gray had never relaxed a
close vigil by her side. It was Gray
who made the thrilling discovery that
the canoes were returning. AS the
feet crossed the bay it could be seen
that they were towing the lifeboat, but
never a sign of any prisoners could the
most careful scrutiny detect. The boat
was empty. 1t was easy to count ev-
cry man in the canoes as they passed
into Otter creek, and there were wound
ed Indians on board many of them.

and the boat was captured, but some,
If not all, of the crew must have joined
their comrades In the sanctuary of the
haunted cave. The accuracy Of this
deduction was proved by the presence
of the smoke column on the hill. In
deed, the opinion was generally held
that it's spiral clouds were denser than
at any previous hour, thus showing
that the defenders were endeavoring to
make known their continued existence.
Elsie awoke from her trance, but in
returning to life she was transformed
into stern, resourceful, commanding
woman. None suspected the mighty
force which worked this resolution III
her nature She conducted herself
with cunning that was wholly for
eign to her character. Her first care
was TO hoodwink her companions into
the belief that the strain of the day
had passed. She accepted cup Of tea

brought by Isobel, expressed her sor-
row if by word or look she had
given cause for offense and entered
eagerly into the pros and cons of the
debate which sprang up as to the hest
course to pursue on the following day.
Every one agreed that nothing could
be done that night If the pillar of
Walker could possibly manage to fire
the boilers, Boyle suggested that some
sailors in the jolly boat should sound a
enamel along which the vessel itself
might steam slowly toward Guanace
hill That in itself would be move Of
considerable value. If they could lessen
the distance between the shore and the
ship. each yard thus gained would help
the prisoners and impose a stronger
barrier against the Alaculofs, who
would probably be daunted when they
found that the vessels mobility was
restored.
This proposal was deemed SO excel
lent that they all dined in vastly bet

ed. Christobal, puzzled out of his sci
entific senses by Elsie's change of
manner, kept a close eye on her. He
was amazed to see her eat better
meal than she had eaten for days, and
she was normally a quite healthy
young person, with a reasonably good
appetite.
Boyle and Gray took the first watch,
from s o'clock to midnight Christobal
and Walker shared the next one By
o'clock it would be daylight, so the
doctor was retiring early to his cabin
when he met Elsie, by chance, as it
seemed. She was self possessed. even
smiling, with certain dour serenity.

BROADWAY FAILS
TO GET MEMPHIS
CONFERENCE 1909
Greenfield, Tenn, Wins Honor
of Entertaining Methodist
Gathering.
Days Proceedings Held at
COvingtOn, Tenn.
SESSION ABOUT CONCLUDED

Coyington, Tenn, Nov. 14.-(Spe-
eial.)-Broadway church, of Padu-
,ah, failed to win the fight for the
honor of entertaining the Memphis
conference next year. Greenfield.
Tenn, made a successful bid last
evening.
The sermon preached yesterday
afternoon by the Rev. G. T. Sullivan
was one of the best heard at the con-
ference.
During the discussion of the Car
mack resolutions. Bishop Hoss said:
With reference to Senator Car
mack, Bishop Hoss addressed the
conference and spoke of his close ana
Intimate relations with Senator Car
mack, whom he lauded in the highest
terms. He said he talked with him
a short time before his tragic death.
and spoke of his serenity of mina
even under his recent defeat. Bishop
Hoss said in substance that the edi-
.torials which are alleged TO have been
the cause of Senator Carmack's muir
der in no sense justified such a
crime; that II they did, then his (the
bishOp's) murder would be justified.
He said a negro blowing behind a
horse in the Mississippi bottom was
as much entitled to the protection of
the law as to his life and liberty as
the highest in the land He said the
conference as a body had a right to
express themselves. He denounced in
the strongest terms the commission
Of deeds actuated by private revenge.
Bishop Hoss declared that Senator
Carmaek was not s,ain on account of
what he had said, but because of fear
of what he might have said in the
future. He spoke of the majesty of
the law and of the absolute necessity
for its rigid enforcement, as was evil
|denced by the prevalence OF lawless-
ness in the country.
The conference adopted strong
resolutions in favor OF statewide pro-
Inhibition in Tennessee and urgently
call on the Tennessee legislature to
extend the Pendleton law or enact
Isucr other legislation as will drive
the liquor traffic from the state and
pledge the members of the confer
|ence individually and collectively, by
voice and vote. to use every legiti-
mate means to secure that end.
The resolutions urge the Kentucky
legislature to extend the county unit
law to cities of all classes and thus
drive the liquor traffic out OF the
state from the municipal breast
works, behind which II hides, and
thus "let the people rule"
The Anti-saloon League aud w. C.
T. U. are warmly commended and all
preachers are urged to preach a
strong temperance sermon at least
once a year.

LOCAL LOOSE LEAF
TOBACCO MARKET
GAINS PRESTIGE

As afloose leaf tobacco market Pa
ducah may be on the verge of regain
ing her former prest &c. The first
step is the establishment of a loose
leaf house by Mr.. c. w. BONNER. Of
Lexington, who after three trips to
the city. has leased the Riglesberger
mill property. 1920 South Third
street Mr.. Bonner left the city last
night after the lease had been closed
and It is understood that he will open
for business as soon as the weather
will permit the weed being handled.
The establishment of a loose leaf
house Is welcomed By business peo-
pie. as IL Will mean hat money will
be scattered to them. for II will draw
much more tobacco from the western
district. Instead Of prizlng his tobac-
co, the farmer will bring a load to
the city and sell it, receiving the mon
.ey the same day he makes the sale.
Fifteen years ago Paducah had
about nine loose leaf tobacco houses.
but the establishment of the pricing
houses in the country caused them.
one by one 10 close business until for
several years there has not been a
loose leaf tobacco warehouse. The
loose leaf warehouses are seeking To-
cations in larger cities, where ample
protection is afforded from night rid
ers, and it is stated that several more
houses Of similar nature may be open
ed. During The threatened night
rider invasions Paducah was guarded
closely.
Mr.. BONNER is a responsible tobac-
go man of Lexington, and he will be
welcomed into Paducah by the busl-
ness men. In the hurley district
there was short crop this year, and
this is attributed one reason why the
house was located in the western
part of the state.

TO WHOLE NATION
In HIS ATTITUDE

Berlin. Nov IA crisis in Ger
man affairs is imminent. The kaiser
is determined TO resist the reichstag' S
demands to restrain his political
activity and insists the feichstag is
powerless to advise him. The en-

where the nation or the ruler must
back down. Buelow will interview
the kaiser Monday and is expected TO
resign. The federal council, the

demanding guarantees that the kaiser
will restrain his activity, which COM
