Dr.. Coleman was called to Sun Civ
last Thursday to attend boy-Jim Ad-
ans who was shot in the foot with a
22-nAe. The bullet entered at the ank-
lie and lodged in the heel. Dr.CoIeman
cut the bullet out and say. with careful
attention he anticipates no serious results.
The boy was brought to this city and IS
being cared for at the home Of Up.
Thomas and wife. There are different
reports as to how the injury was brought
about According to one story several
boys were in barn shooting and were
wagering on how close they could shoot
at the other fellows heels without hitting
them. The other and more plausible
is that the gun. was discharged accident
ally. But anyway it proves again that
careless boy with gun is dangerous
combination.

given by Suarez. 'They secured the

They will not waste the cartridges on

most harm with the sings and arrows,
as they hold the gun away from the
shoulder, but they can cast a heavy
pebble from a sling quite as far and
almost as straight as a revolver can
shoot"
How do they know the ship will not
sail at once?" demanded Courtenay.
Suarez laughed Historically with the
mirth which is akin to tears when the
query was explained to him. He look
ed bizarre enough under ordinary con-
ditions, but laughter converted him in
to g fair semblance Of one Of those

promptly:
There are some instances in which
silence may be misinterpreted. Let
me state at once that the shippers of
the valuable cargo on board the Kan
sas will suffer a serious financial re-
verse if the ship is lost. Two thou
sand tons of copper may be worth a
considerable fixed sum, but the lack of
the metal on the London market at the
end of January will have far reaching
consequences in fight against the bull
clique in Paris. and that is why Mr..
Barring made this heavy shipment"
'Those consequences could be fore
seen and discounted" put In Tolle-
mache dryly.
Exactly. But by whom-by the
man who sent his only daughter as a
passenger on this vessel?'
Every one secuted that notion. But
Tollemache, though disavowing any
thought of Mr. Barring as a party to
the scheme, stuck to his guns.

the Kansas is reported missing" he
said.

They all looked at her, and some Of
them wondered perhaps why her smil-

there was nothing unreasonable in the
mere fact that certain Chilean nam

PUTTING ON BRAID.

There is a science in putting braid
en- spring clothes, for each kind needs
special treatment. When round cord
is to be sewed on it should not be
stretched at all, as it always shrinks
more than the material when it is
washed. 1t should be held a little
loosely and sewed on the edge with
small fine stitches, being very careful
TO keep it from twisting.
Braid and tape should be first back
stitched on the right side Of the goods,
close to the edge, then turned over
and hemmed down on the wrong side.
Take care to hold the braid loosely
and to allow for shrinking.
1t will save time if the first stitch
ing is done on the machine, and is then
turned over and hemmed down by hand
on the wrong side.

the instant answer.
"And that was the first coal used in

Eyes, sir"
The captains tone was official, ex-
ceedingly so. and the chief officer took
the cue from his superior in rank.
Did we get up steam with it?"
There might have been hundred
weight or two lying loose in the stoke
hold. but for all practical purposes we
have used nothing but the Valparaiso
bunker since we left port"
1.-THE rest of our coal was shipped at

told you" said Courtenay, glancing at
the others. 81 naust explain to you,

This morning. after careful scrutiny
we came across a number of Jumps Of

pieces glued together. In the center Of
each lump was a stick of dynamite
protected by an asbestus wrapper. 1t
was undoubtedly the intent of some
miscreant that a number Of these
Jumps should be fed into the furnaces.
This actually occurred, as we know,
but by the mercy of Providence the
ship did not experience the full power
of the explosion or she must have sunk

There was a momentary silence.
Elsie's eyes grew larger. and she be-
came rather pale. AS was her habit
when puzzled. she placed finger on
her lips. Christobal noted her action.
Indeed, he missed few of her charac-
teristic habits or expressions. He
laughed quietly.

many instances in which silence is

Christobal, who vouched for the Ar
gentine accent, and elsie, who seemed
to have read such rare books of travel
as dealt with that little known part of
the world, bore out the reasonableness
Of his statements. The only individual
on board who regarded him with sus-
picion was Joey, and even Joey was
satisfied when Suarez had washed him
self.
It was daylight again, a dawn Of
dense mist, without wind or hail, ere
any member of the ships company
thought of sleep. Then Elsie went to
her cabin and dreamed Of q river Of
molten gold, down which she was COM
PEELED to sail in a cockleshell boat,
while fantastic monsters swan around
and eyed her suspiciously.
When at last she awoke after few
hours of less exciting slumber she
came out on deck to find the sun shin
ing on a fairyland Of green and blue
and diamond white, with gaunt gray
rocks and groves of copper beeches to
frame the picture. There was no Pill
lar Of smoke on the lower hills to bear
silent testimony to the presence of the
Indians, but the canoe lying alongside
told her that the previous nights
events were no part of her dreams,
and a man whom she did not recognize
"a man with closely cropped gray
hair and a deeply lined, weather tan
ned face from which a pair of sunken,
flashing eyes looked kindly at her
said in Spanish:

Newest evening coats are being made

pale pink gown seen not long ago was
accompanied by a coat of pale pink
brocade, lined with silver. A long

draped around the shoulders and tied
under the chin in a bog bow, the ends
floating almost to the hem of the skirt.
In the hair there was a filet of silver,
out of which rose pink osprey. Sill
