in some way warn Percy Darrow.

| ln some way Warn Iercy DarrOW.
 That seems a simple enough propo- sition, does It not! But if you will stop to think one moment of the diff faculties of my position you will see that it was not as easy as at first it appears. Darrow still visited us in the evening. The men never allowed me even the chance of private con- munication while he was with us. One or two took pains to stretch out be- tween us. Twice I arose when the as- sistant did, resolved to accompany him part way back. Both times men reso- lutely escorted us and as resolutely separated us from the opportunity of single word apart. The crew never threatened me by word or look. But we understood each other.
 I was not permitted to row out to the Laughing Lass without escort Therefore I never attempted to visit her again. The men were not anxious to do so. Their awe of the captain made them only too glad to escape his notice. That empty shell of a past reputation was my only hope. It shielded the arms and ammunition.
 AS I look back on it now the period seems to me to be one of merely po- tential trouble. The men had not talk en the pains to crystalline their ideas. really think their compelling emo ton was that of curiosity. They want ed to see. It needed a definite i'm pulse to change that desire to one of greed.
 The impulse came from Percy Dar- row and his idle talk of voodoos. As usual be was directing his remarks to the sullen nigger.
 'voodoosT' he said. "0f course there are. Don't fool yourself for a minute on that. There are good ones and bad ones. You can tame them if you know how. and they will do anything you want them to-" Pulz chuckled in his throat. You don't be- l:e8e it:' dravled the assistant, turn i;g 90 him. Well. it's so. You know that he.vy box we are so careful of? Well. that's got tame voOdoo fin it."
 The others laughed.
 What ke liLe?" asked the niggcr grsve,y.
 "He's 6 fna voOdoo. with vavery arms and green eyes and red glovs" Watching narrowly its effect he swsng Of into one of the genuine old croon- ing voodoo songs. once so common down south, now so rarely heard. No one knows what the words mean-they are generally held to be charm words only-a magic gibberish. But the nIg- ger sprang across the fire like light ming. his face altered by terror, to seize DarTov by the shoulders.
 ~Dosn youl Doan your he gasred- shaking the assistant violently back and forth "Dat he King voodoo song. Dst call him all de voodoo-aII-'
 He stared wildly about in the darf- ness ss though expecting to see the night thronged- There was a moment of confusion. Eager for any chance I hissed under my breath: "Dangerl Lock outr' I could not tell whether or not Dsr- row heard ne. He left soon after. The mention of the chest had fccused the mAais interest.

Says Roosevelt Hasn't Made Good and That She Declined to Make Loan on Vanderbilt Jeweis-Asserts President Will Be Renominated

Boston, Feb. 15.-Mrs. Hetty Green, the richest woman in the world, in an interview on the business depression throughout the country said:
 q saw this situation developing three years ago. and am on record as predicting it. I said then that the rich were approaching the brink and that a panic was inevitable. There were signs which I could not ignore. Some of the solidest men of the street came to me and wanted to unload all sorts of things, from palatial residences to automobiles. The New York Central negotiated with me for a big loan. and that made me sit up and do something. for that road is one of the wealthlest in the world.
 There had been an enormous infia- ton of values. and when the unloading process was begun the holders of the

TREES / ~; STREETS.
Why Oaks Are Ideal and How to
Plant Them.

There is growing appreciation Of
oaks for street planting throughout our
own and foreign countries. In Califor-
mia. especially in the south, sentiment
has moved US to plant live oaks large
ly because they are becoming scarcer
each year. When inteIligently treated
they form idcni street trees. but large
holes for them should be dug and plen-
ty of water supplied for the first five
years of their life. After that one
would have little to fear. says the Los
Angeles Times In a list Of the best
ten street trees compiled by two men,
one of whom Travelled in Europe. the
other in the United States and Can
ada, the oaks have the first six places.
In California the cork oak will GER
tainly prove more satisfactory i'll every

Wizardry of Wolseley.

The loss Of IN eye years ago once
stood Lord Wolsrley In good stead. 1t
seemed impossible to get any Informal
ton Of the encmy's strength and the
forces under the command Of Arabi
Pasha. At length an Arab was caught
near one Of the olitposts. Naturally ex-
pectlng that he would be able TO give
q good deal Of information, he was
taken before Lord Wolseley. who ques-
toned him. The man, however, refus-
ed to speak.
1T Is no use your refusing 10 an

demonstration was sufficient to convert
the Arab. He capitulated without fur

gave led 10 Arabi's defeat.
