A few minutes later the waves racing alongside changed their leaden hue to a steely glitter which told him the fog was dispensing. The nearer blue of the ocean carpet spread an ever widen iE.g circle until it merged into vivid green.

 But if the crests of peak upon peak were clothed in white their bases wore garment of different texture.

 Are they?" said Courtenay. He looked Christobal straight in the eyes, and the doctor returned his gaze as steadily.
 That is their repute. They live mostly on shellfish. They do not con- gregate in communities. A few fami- lies keep together and move constant ly from place to place."

EATEN By ALLlGATORS.
Two Americans on Bridal Tour Meet
Death in Mexico.

Ell Paso, Tex.-Two Americans, a
young man and young woman, on
their bridal tour, were eaten alive by
alligators in the Balsas river, a stream
forming the boundary between the
states of Michoacan and Guerrero in
Mexico. Nobody knows anything of
their identity.
H. Sablarolles of Guadalajara, re-
turning from his timber lands in
Michoacan, reported the matter to DR..
Will B. Davis, American consul in
that city.
The man, who was about % years
of age. and the girl, about l9, appeared
at Balsas a month ago, and, hiring a
small boat, stocked it with provisions,
arms and camp equipage, and, load
ing on trunk filled with clothing,
went down the river.
A short way down stream the trunk
fell overheard, and although the cou.
pie stopped and paid the natives to
dive for it. it was lost. The natives
warned them not to continue the
journey, as the stream is full of rap
ids and in the swampy places is in
habited by thousands of alligators.
The young couple continued, and
nothing more was heard Of them until
recently when the wrecked boat was
found in one of the swampy regions,
torn and chewed by alligators, and
near by was the body of the young
man, partially eaten by the saurians

A THOROUGHLY WHOLESOME ~~- RURAL DRAMA.

It seems odd to characterize rural drama ashumorous ly wholesome, for that is supposed to be one of their strong points, but when one stops to think oft. most of them have some disagreeable story of a wronged girl who is wandering around in the snow on wintry nght looking for her we'd ding certificate. But in Quincy Ad- ans Sawyer" reports of which from New York, where it ran recently for many weeks at the Academy of Music, seem to indicate that lis the latest and best of rural dramas, there is no such story or character. Critics every- here have sung its praises as the purest, sweetest and most wholesome of rural drama. And then too, there is more comedy in it than other plays of it's class. In fact it is built strongly on comedy lines. So much so that one writer described it as lone great big laugh from beginning to end." The serious part of it is the story of a blind country girl. No small amount of credit for the heartfelt sympathy that goes out to the blind girl, Alice Pettengill, in her deep afliction, is said to be due to the true and careful portrayal of the part. Alice is real ity, not a stage creation set up to be analysed for its dramatic strength or weakness. The play comes here for one night only at the Opera house, Thursday, October 1. @-.
 To the Editor of The Bee: It is the modern idea in regard to care of ceme- teries that the lots be sold for an amount large enough to provide fund for keeping them in order in the fu- ture without further charge or assess ment and the directors of the New Mil ford Center Cemetery association have adopted that plan as regards the new TreadweIl addition. The desirabilitv of having all the lots kept in a uni formly good condition is evident, for a neglected lot is an injury to all oth : CTS and especially to those in it's vicin- ity, fact only too apparent in the present cemetery. It was also voted that fences, railings, copyings and sim liar work shall not be erected on the Treadwell addition and that memorial work of monumental bronze or similar materials shall not be permitted there. No regarding, terracing, etc., shall be permitted in the cemetery except under the supervision of the experimenting committee.
