tiny. He was told to pass period as a
sailor and not set foot in North America
for a year. Then he was directed to go
TO Mexico for further instructions which
were TO assign him to another years
exile, during which time he must make
his own living unassisted. and keep
everything a secret. Jerry then told his
father of his duty. He gained his elders
consent. He also acquainted Marsylla
Bayless, his fathers choice for his wife
with the fact that he would be away two
years. She left him angrily. Young
Chambers had fiery interview with his
father, who sought again to prevent the
boys departure. Jerry obtained a berth
as supercargo on an ocean freighter. His
father tried TO obtain his promise that
he would seek the hand OF Miss Bayless.

CHAPTER VII.
The Little Saint Of Urania,

At the outset of the Uranian rebel
lion a dozen or more young women
high In the social life at Pandaro met
at the presidents palace and inaugu-
rated what had come to be known as
the humane movement" The or
ganizers were: A daughter OF the
president. daughter OF the vice-presi-
dent, niece Of the minister of justice.
and the adopted daughter OF Cen Fer
nandez BOstos. They issued a call TO
the "loyalist" young women for volun-
teers as nurses to serve on the field
and in the hospitals. While the move
ment was distinctly a 'loyalist" one.
IL was the purpose Of the organization
10 extend the spirit of humanity to
helpless and suffering insurrectionlsts
as well as to the sick and wounded in
the service OF the Cardovas govern.
ment. The presidents daughter was
chosen chief officer and she appointed
six OF the other organizers 10 assume
charge OF the half dozen departments
under which the work was 10 be car
ried on. Marina Bostos, the generals
adopted daughter, was placed In
charge OF the department OF the north.
which included much OF the territory
north OF the capital, where the reyo-
lutionists had numerous strongholds
and where the heaviest fighting was
expected 10 take place. The camp I'm
which Jerry Chambers was held pris.
oner was within the territory of the
department OF the north.
Two days after Jerry's capture Ma.
rina Bostos arrived in camp at the
head OF a score of nurses, fatigued
from duty for weeks inland, where
fever had wrought havoc In the ranks
OF both sides.

CHAPTER vlI.-ContInued,

Brought to a shocking realization OF
his position. Jerry started towards the
nearest thicket. which was fully sc
yards away. He had gone less than
40 feet when he felt a tingling sensa
ton in the calf of his right leg. He
ran a few feet farther, and then the
leg seemed 10 become paralyZed. II
would serve him no longer. Exhausted
he sank to the ground and tried 10
drag himself along. Then his eyes
closed and his senses We're gone.
When he regained consciousness he
was surrounded by half dozen
swarthy-loOking men in the soiled
white clothing Of the Uranian marines,
all talking at the same time in the
most excited manner. 1t was a long
time before he could appreciate his
situation. At the first thought OF the
awful reality. he asked:
Where am IL" His words were in
English, and those about him simply
stared blankly at him. Then he put
the question in Spanish.
You are prisoner In the hands OF
the Uranian government-on board
the gunboat Cristobal," snapped a
fierce-eyed man in the uniform Of an
officer. Your trick failed. as we knew
1t would fail, and now you will pay
the penalty"
What will they do to me?" Jerry
asked.

that the Uranian government is not 10

acting with such as you. It's too bad
you're so young, so strong-such a
goodiooking fellow, too" he added
with laugh that was almost diabol.

lot an instant he forgot his pa-l.

that there was no hope for him; he
had read about the Justice" OF Span

The captain of the Cristobal had
enough heart to do what he could 70
alleviate the suffering OF the young
collegian, turning him over to the
surgeon, who hurriedly dressed the
wound. 1t was very dark and very
foggy when the vessel steamed TO
wards the mainland with all the guns
that had been landed from the Sister
Mary. The boat sped along cautious

next morning when she drew up at

President Cardovas, and he probably
would not reach the coast camp until
the elapse OF a week Jerry was or
dered confined in a dungeon cell on
the outskirts OF the camp, near a run

consist Of only bread and water. The
cell was not more than six feet square
and 1t was unfinished save for some
damp straw that was to serve him as
a bed.

FROM The CITY BAST|LE

were allowed to sleep. owing to the
crowded condition of the city jail in
which county prisoners are now being
held until trial There were about
fifteen in the Jail last night.
The negroes made their escape by
digging out the brick over ventilator
window that opens into the city stable.
They evidently went at it deliberately
for the bricks that were taken out
were neatly piled on the platform.
When they made the opening large
enough they went out head foremost
so the other prisoners said. One Of
the negroes got hung in The hole and
had difficulty in getting out. 1t was ar
easy matter to remove the brick, and

They Do Not Pay Expenses.

Daily News Special.
Jackson. Miss. August 15.-Another
long. interesting legal fight lisp ROM
Used when the Western Union Tele-
graph Company closes up its SO offices
at small stations in this state in ac-
cordance with its recent petition to the
railroad commission, which that body
turned down very promptly.
So far no action has been taken in
the matter SO far as the local authori-
ties are. advised, but it is sttaed on
good authority that it is the intention
of the company to close these offices
despite the refusal of the commission
to grant its permission to do SO. Just
when the offices are to be closed is not
stated.
All these SO offices are at stations
where the railroad agent is also the
agent and operator OF the telegraph
company, and the railroad commission
cannot agree with the company in its
contention that the expense of main
tanning the offices is too great in pro.
portion to the revenue they bring in,
Notwithstanding the undisputed assur.
ance that this revenue does not aver
age as much as IS per month for any
one office in the list.
That the railroad commission will
fight any effort ON the part of the com
pany to close up the offices goes with
out saying, and with the aid of Attor
lney General Fletcher, whose work late

commissions orders, it is foregons
conclusion that it will be fight to TIL
finish through the courts.
