COST OF BURNING ANIMALS.
You Can Get a Plot in Regular
 Cemetery for from $1O to $50.

The home and cemetery for ani- mals in Westchester county which was started in the summer of 1906 has proved that there are enough persons hereabouts who wish to give their pets decent burial to make such an institution pay. London and Paris found it out years ago.
 It will not only bury your cat or dog in decent and orderly manner, but will furnish it with comforta- ble home in it's declining years. There is always a good number of decrepit horses and cats and dogs waiting peacefully for the end i'll pleasant surroundings, and in the cemetery are hundreds of small headstones marking the last resting place of those who have passed on to the happy hunting grounds or whatever is the animal equivalent for heaven. No animals deserving of the other place are admitted.
 It's a regular cemetery, conducted with as much ceremony as if it was intended for human bodies. You can get plots of assorted shapes and sizes and at assorted prices.
 A burial in single grave in one section costs $1O on three years lease; in another $15 on five years lease. Then there are plots which lease for five years at $20 and $25, and larger plots which you can get for ten years for $40 and $50. The top price of all is $50.
 The company will not sell plot outright. It will care for plot and the graves in it without extra charge for the term of the lease, and after the lease has expired the graves can be kept in order upon payment of a small amount annually or for nothing if ornamental headstones or monuments have been erected.

By LOUIS TRACY,

So 1t was on the cards that Elsie would be the amazed recipient of two proposals in one evening. which is a better average than most women are favored with in a lifetime. Christobal had entered the chart house with the fixed intent of warning Boyle that he was going below for q moment to ask Miss Maxwell to come on deck when a hurried step on the bridge companion caused the imminent words to be with held.
 It was Courtenay, who had run up from the salon to procure those fate full letters which had so nearly parted Elsie and himself. He had laughingly refused to tell her their history. That would spoil their effect, he said. She must take them to her stateroom and read them at her leisure. Then she would see their true inwardness, and his feelings would be spared. as he could not deny that the majority of them had been written by ladies.
 On his way he looked into the wheel house. There was no light in the in- terior. Boyle, wrapped in heavy coat, was seated in the most sheltered corner.
 All quiet?" asked the captain in his brisk way.
 ''Nothin' doin', sir" answered Boyle.
 T expect you are both feeling pretty tired. Tollemache and I propose to re- lieve you at six bells"
 But why?" demanded Christobal. sIt is you who have passed an exciting day. I am ready to mount guard until
Waterbury evening Democrat., 1908-03-19

The sounds seemed to come from the sea, from some point very near to the | ship. A loud hubbub arose among the Indians. Courtenay, clubbing his gun, rushed past, with the dog at his heels, and ran up the bridge companion. | They could follow his progress as he raced toward the port side, and they | heard his amazed cry: What boats are thoseY' Your own, cepaein,' came the an- swering yell, plainly audible above the din.
 That is Mir. Gray!" screamed Elsie, and she, too ran toward the bridge, with the doctor close behind.
 Sink every canoe you can get along side of and knock those fellows on the head who are swimmingw roared Cour- tenay, who was so carried away by the fierceness of the fight from which he had just emerged that he would have given the same directions to the arch angel Michael had that warrior spirit come to his aid He seemed to have eyes in the back of his head, he turned so suddenly when Elsie neared him.
 'Ah, thank God, you are safew he said. drawing her to him for an in stant. Stand there, dear heartr'
 He placed her in the forward angle of the bridge rail and leaned out over the side. She understood that she must not speak to him then, but a great joy overwhelmed her, and her eyes melted into tears.
 Christobal, who had missed no word of Elsie's frenzied protest in the salon nor failed to note the manner of Cour- tenay's greeting. seemed to take the collapse of his own aspirations with the unmoved stoicism he had display ed in the face of danger.
 "The ships boats"-- he began, but the captain raised his gun and fired twice aft alongside the side of the ves- sel. Cries of pain and a good deal of splashing in the sea proved that he had expedited the departure of several Indians who were perched on the rails beyond the reach of Walkers steam jet.
 "The ships boats," went on Christo- bal calmly, have turned up in some mysterious manner, just in the nick of time. A few minutes more and they would have been too late"

dead. Senor Jerrera is in my boat, No. 2. We have been on White Horse island all this time, but we have seen nothing of the other lifeboat" Thatmeant that two boats out of those which quilted the ship had arrived thus opportunely. Senor Jerrera was the Spanish mining engineer who had been hustled into ono of the craft manned by the mutiheers. And Christobal was saying:
 'Well, Miss Maxwell, you and I can look forward to busy night. The ship is filtered with wounded men. and our newly arrived friends must be worn with fatigue"
 His smooth, even sentences helped to dispel the stupor of amazement which had made her dumb. And the first reasoned thought which came to her was that the Spanish doctor had treat ed her with the kindness of an indul- gent parent, for Elsie was far too un- selfish not to be alive to the unselfish- ness of others.
 How good you have been to mel" she murmured. "I can never repay you. I remember now that I said dreadful things to you in the salon. But you did not know what it meant to me when realized that Captain Cour- tenay might be falling even then be- meath the blows of those merciless sav- ages. I have not had a chance to tell you that he has asked me to be his wife and I have consented. 1 love him more than all the world. And you, Dr. Christobal, you who knew my fa- ther and mother, who have grownup daughters of your own. you will wish me happiness?'
 It was not easy to bear when it came, although he had guessed the truth already. But he choked back the wrath and despair which surged up in him and said, with his stately courtesy:
 ''I do wish you well, Elsie. No man can hope more earnestly than that you have made the better choice"
 Then he turned with certain abrupt HeSS WlllCu icluluucu ucA VI lAC SudASc in his manner she had noticed once or twice during recent days and quilted the bridge. She sighed and was sorry for him, knowing that he loved her.
 Courtenay, who had been far too busy to pay heed to anything beyond the brief fight betS'een the boats and the canoes, perceived now that the gangway was in position. Lights were shining on both the upper and lower platforms.
 He stretched out his hand and drew Elsie to him.
 Are you alone. sweetheartT he asked.
 "Yes." .5...-
 Kiss me, then, and go to meet your friends. They will be aboard in less than a minute. Oh. Elsie. I thought had seen ''" '"r+ nH vou,' .(To be ContinuedJ.

the stormy history of the ship threat ened to be it's most trying one.
 Courtenay. who seemed to be every where at once, lighted torches which were fastened to the empty davits in readiness for a night alarm. He had used the last rocket on board, but the flares would burn for fifteen minutes at least. By their light the defenders were able to shooe or smash the skulls of several savages who climbed up roughly contrived grapnels fashioned out of bent sticks and thongs of hide. But there were only thirteen men to repel an attack which developed at fifty points simultaneously. Ere the torches flickered in their sockets the savages had swarmed over poop and bows They were tearing at the can vas shields and sweeping the hurri- cane deck with showers of missiles. Tollemache was injured, and Walker. Courtenay had his forehead cut open. Suarez fell insensible while he was bel lowing curses through a megaphone in the vain hope of frightening the de- termined enemy. Two Chileans were down. one struck with stone and the other shot through the lungs.
 So at last the Kansas was in the grip of savage and implacable foe. Courtenay while hauling steam hose to the weakest point, the after part of the promenade deck. met Christobal. He clutched the Spaniard in a way there could be no mistaking.
 GO belowr' he muttered in ter rible voice. T cannot leave the deck You must go. And, for Gods sake, don't tell her! Let her die without knowing.'

cbATSs JutLby ttHtpeB 0e 1tot< Jotts When more extended knowledge of all that had happened, joined to nicer adjustment of the time factor fin events, enabled Elsie to realize the extraor- dinary deliverance from death which she had been vouchsafed that night she began to appreciate the service which Christobal rendered her in discussing matters with such nonchalance. Barely a minute had elapsed since they were in the throes of a struggle which promised to be the last act of tragedy. The ship was then overrun by horde of bowling savages, mad dened by the desperate resistance of- ] fered by the defenders and ruthless as wolves in their lust for destruction. Now the Kansas was clear of every bedaubed Alaeulof save the many who cumbered the decks either dead or so seriously wounded that they could not move. These men were so near akin to animals that this condition implied ultimate collapse save in few in- ENAhICo Dt limbs. From the final stage of hope less butchery the survivors of the ships company were suddenly trans ferred to a position of reasonable se- curity. It was not that the arrival of the ships boats meant such an access sion of fighting strength that the Ala culofs could not have made sure of vic tory. Gray and his companions were badly armed. The Indians remaining in the canoes could have pelted them to shreds in a few minutes. Even those on the ship had the power to resist any attempt by the newcomers to gain the decks. But the superstitious savages had already screwed themselves up to an act of unusual daring in delivering a night attack, and the appearance of boats filled with men of whose fight ing qualities they had already srch a lively experience quite demoralized them. They fed without attempting counter assault
 At last the sounds of conflict died away. The black waters closed over the deads me Iasf swimmer vanished into the silence. The epasmoaic bark. ing of the dog the grooming of men ly- ing on the decks and the shouts ex, changed between courteDsy and Gray for the guidance of the boats were the only remaining symbols of the fercest crisis which had yet befsIlen the Kan- sas.
