CHAPTER XVl.-Contlnued.

AS he gallops from the little hamlet
come cyelamen branches greet him, he
urges on his steed.
And what a ride it is, under the
great trees Of La Castagniccia, where
~chestnuts big as eggs drop upon him,
s4he giant chestnuts that fed Paoli' S
patriot army, the bread of Corsica,
each dozen trees being peasant maid

But though the woods are all chest
MUS, Edwin still sees in his road cycla-
men branches, slightly withered now,
their fragrance fading. and hope
grows higher in his heart.
SO he rides along the parklike wales
OF La Castagniccia, and before him is
abe green of the great Bavella forest
fading away down the hillsides toward
the distant and still unseen Tuscan
sea.
Here Edwin checks his horse,
springs off and picks up a cylamen
branch, and as he rides along, looking
AT the flowers suddenly calculates:
"Jove, how fresh their perfume and
plucked two days since"
But the lately cut flowers give no
warning to the sailor; he is too eager
now Pausing at the little village of
Pietra, Edwin steps into the inn to ask
some questions and hears news that
makes him frenzied
The landlord, delighted at his lib
eral hand, tells him 10 avoid the com

Danella imported To- work upon his
estates here"
Count Cipriano Danella has estates
here?" asks Edwin eXcitedly.
Yes, now it is Cipriano. Down to-
ward Ceryione, where the cliffs run
into the sea, the only place where it is
not sickly and they have no lagoons.
You can know 1t by the Genoese watch
tower that was In ruins but the count
some years ago had repaired and made
habitable"
Its curious I never heard anyone
mention Ciprianos properties here"
mutters the sailor.

since, they belonged to Mussv Danella,

now taken possession of them"
HE is there?"

The Sort of Thinq He Liked.

In an early day in Stone county.
Missouri, a farmers boy rushed into
the office of DR.. T. J. McCord of Ga
lena and urged the doctor to come
quickly to see his father, who seemed
TO be dying Said the doctor. What
ails him, and what has he eaten?"
The boy said "Oh, nothing much
but IA roastin' ears for supper"
Well" said the doctor, Just go
back and throw him couple of
bundles of oats and tell him | will be
up there in about 80 minutes. -

body and wash hastily, letting the
tub fill gradually. If the salt bath is
used, do not throw the salt towel In

has a salt towel that is used countless
times. because it gets thoroughly sat

how terrible you look"
THE quickest way to Ciprianos
estates?" asked Anstruther hoarsely.
Down the road there. through the
forest, over two ranges of hills and his
land begins. But be careful how you
go that way; the Lucehese' are just
beyond the village. Hear them?
They are rioting now" as Neapolitan
outcries and Tuscan eXererations and
oaths and the rattle of stones are heard
further to the east. Best take by

Italian workmen, whom. imported in
great numbers into the island, the Cor
sicans would probably butcher to a
man did not their natural laZiness
make them prefer to let the "Luc-
cheese" live and work for them.
But the by-path doesn't rid him en-
tirely of the "Lucchese." Just after
he has left the village he finds HIM
self confronted by some hundred ltal-
ian workmen, who threateningly de-
mand drink money, and unfortunately
noting the cyclamen flower in the
sailors hand, the red being the color
of the candidate they do not favor,
they rush at him with appraised pitch
forks and scythes.
But the lieutenant remembering Ma
poleon's recipe for mobs, pulls out his
pistol. Dodgng one volley of stones,
some of which come dangerously near
to him, he dashes on, and there are
two wounded "Lucchese" as he rides
away-and three empty cylinders in
his revolver.
Here broken cyclamen branch
makes him forget all else, and riding
hurriedly, after some hours of noun
tain vistas, he reaches a little hill and
gazes at view which causes him for
one moment to pause. The dark emer-

Loss.

Vancouver, B. C.-This city awoke
to full sense of the completeness
of tho destruction around Fernie Mon
day. According to a competent au-
thoritv the loss will exceed 100000
600. and the death list will never be
known. 1t is now believed that at
least 200 have persisted.
Vancouver wired $4,000 for relief
Sunday and trainload of supplies
went out Monday. Winnipeg has dis
patched a special train with nurses,
doctors, hospital stores and provisions.
Loggers to the number of so in the
camps of tne Elk Lumber Company
have persisted and several settlers
with their families who lived along
the railroad between Fernie and Mich
el have disappeared. The death total
will probably grow larger, and dis
patch from Winnipeg declares that it
will reach 400
When the flames we're consuming
Fernie. all prisoners with the excep-
ton of five Black Hand suspects were
released. Later they were recaptured
and sent to Nelson.
Crowds of refugees have also ar
rived at Nelson. These are being
cared for as much as possible, but
their condition is pitiable. In their
fight they brought away nothing but
the clothes they wore.

ACT OF BROWNSQN SCORED
PRESIDENT STATES ATTITUDE IN
HOSPITAL SHIP MATTER.
Declares Admirars Resignation Way
sross lmpropriety and spstains
Own Decision.

Washington, Jan. Z: = President
Rooseve1t's attitude ON the question
of the command of hospital ships in
the navy, which resulted in the resig-
nation of Rear Admiral Willard r.
Brownson and incidentally GONE caus-
tie ehseFyations On that incident and
the controversies among the naval Of
ficers and their adherents as to details
of naval construction and methods Of
training, were made known Sunday
when Secretary Metcalf gave to the
press two letters from the president
addressed to him on these subjects.
In the first ef these letters, Presi-
dent Roosevelt, without mineiRE
words, condemns In unmeasured terms
the act of Admiral Brownson, declar.
ing 1t to be unseemly and improper.
The question as to which Admiral
Brownson took issue with the navy
department, the president declares, is
one as to which there can be entirely
legitimate differences Of opinion. but
he adds: aFhere is no room fer diff.
ferences of opinion as to the gross ina.
of the admiraTs conduct in
resigning sooner than carry out the
orders Of his superior officers in such
matter. The officers of the navy
must remember that 1t is not merely
but In the highest degree
reprehensible, to permit either per-
sonal pidue, wounded vanity, or fac.
fiona1 foolinp m haholf of soy,a nor
ticular bureau or organization, to rem
der them disloyal to the interests OF
the navy and therefore Of the country
ASA whole"
The presidents second letter to MT.
Metcalf Is an argument to sustain his
decision to assign medical officers to
the command Of hospital ships.
