The detective and Edwin are thun-

the detective, scratching his head.
Then hearing cry he runs down the
chasm and moves the swinging bridge
into place across the crevice.

from the distant sea.

Edwin, after slapping Barnes upon
the back. has carried his wife, half
swooning now with joy, onto the YER

like that of a hundred-ton gun. the
whole tower rises from its base and
falls tumbling, mass of ruined mas

rocks like fireworks. Fortunately the
explosion has been so strong that the
missiles nearly all fall into the sea

count.

orders by the oath of the vendetta and
thy promise to pay my gambling debts

young man. Enrico passes from the
verandah and Marina sees the flame
OF the torch moving to the orange tree.
She raises her voice and shrieks with

CAPT. o'DRIsCoLL INJURED.
War Veteran Found Unconscious OF
Car Track.


Capt. B. J. O'Driscoll. sixty years of age
who resides at 1908 street and is EN-.
ployed as a clerk in the War Depart.
ment. had painful experience this morn
ing shortly before o'clock after he had
attended the banquet of the Military Or
der of the Loyal Legion. He was found
on the cobblestone pavement at East
Capitol and 18th streets. his jaw slightly
fractured and his head. face and body
bruised. The police of the ninth pre-.
cinct made an investigation of the affair
and reached the conclusion that Capt
O'Driscoll had fallen.
After leaving the banquet hall Capt
O'Driscoll boarded a Connecticut avenue
car. intending to ride as far as 14th street
and then go north on 18th street car
When the car reached 14th street, he says
he started to alight, but the car gave a
sudden start and he resumed his seat
What happened from that time until he
reached the hospital. he adds. he does moi
know. The police learned that Capt
O'Driscoll was a passenger on the last
car going east. At 18th and East Capitol
streets the conductor assisted the pas.
senger to the street.
