snapped Kirkwood.
"Ow! The captain began to shovel
food into his face. Kirkwood watched
him, fascinated with suspense. 1t
seemed impossible that the man could
continue so to employ his knife with
out cutting his throat from the inside.
But years of such manipulation had
made him expert, and his guest, keen

Kirkwood thoughtfully
Stryker's mouth closed with a snap:
his features froze in cast of wrath;
cold rage glinted in his small blue
eyes. "W'y," he beloved, you bloom

Unsurpassed, the young man side

wasted blow, and with a dexterous
twist laid him fiat on his back with a
sounding thump upon the deck. And
as the Infatuated scamp rose. which he
did with bound that placed him ON
his feet and in defensive posture as
though the deck had been spring

challenge.

the man tensely, himself livid with
rage. IF you move step closer l

SLAUGHTER AT BARCELONA
Artillery Used to QueIl the Insured,
... ton There.

Madrid, July 31.-The governments
reports from, Catalonia indicate that
the situation continues to improve.
Both King Alfonso and Premier Maura
seem satisfied that the worst is over,
that the rebellion in Barcelona has
been quelled and that order soon will
be restored in the remainder of the
captaincy general. Nevertheless, to
be on the safe side. large bodies Of
troops of all arms continue to be hur
ried to the scene.
No figures, not even estimates, OF
the loss of property and life in Gaia.
lonia are vouchsafed by the authori-
ties, but private dispatches leaking
out through the frontier indicate that
there has been great slaughter at
Barcelona.
It is understood that the king great
ly regretted the necessity of using ar.
tillery, but yielded to the arguments
of his cabinet ministers that half way
measures or tempcrization might
prove fatal. Reports continue to filter
in Of the widest destruction Of prop
erty, especially churches, monasteries
and converts, against which the fury
Of the mob was centered.

Lose Three Thousand Killed Of.
Wounded Near MenIa
REBEL OUTBREAK At HOME
lnsurrection Occurs at Barcelona
and Other Points.

Madrid, July 30.-Spain Is rent by
two fears-the fate of the army in
Morocco and the situation in the
Mediterranean provinces in Catalonia.
At the outskirts of Melilla tlU Span
ish arms have suffered q serious
check. Three thousand soldiers have
either been slain or wounded and the
Moorish hordes are fighting at the
very walls of the city itself.
News from Barcelona, the center of
the revolutionary outbreaks, is ex
ceedingly meager and unsatisfactory.
From Lisbon comes the report that
the revolutionists are using bombs
and that 100 persons were killed and
200 wounded during the earlier stages
of the conflicts.
Premier Maura's announcement that
the situation in Barcelona showed a
little improvement and word from
Melilla that the Moors were retreating
from Mount Guruga only slightly ap.
peased the general uneasiness. The
Moorish forces, however, have been
strengthened by the arrival of 5000
additional tribesmen and the official
judgment that $4,000 Spanish troops
are needed to overcome the Moors
would indicate that the Mellla army
of Spain is in sore straits.
A Moorish army is marching on
Alhucemas and warship has been
hurriedly dispatched from Melilla to
aid the garrison there.
Insurrectionary outbreaks are re.
ported from many points in Spain. At
Granollers two converts have been
burned, while at Cassadlaselva the
civil guard was disarmed and impris.
oned in the barracks. The revolu.
tionists are active at Llansa and
Figueras, where the railroads have
been dynamited. Financial institu-
lions are sending their funds across
the frontier. J

Where They Came From.

It is surprising from whence came
the most common articles of food. The
onion the leek, garlic and pea were
favorites in Egypt; rye and parsley in
Siberia; the the citron and currants in
Greece, and radishes hail from China
and Japan.
The horsechestnut is a native OF
Thibet, "The Forbidden Land" and
the mulberry tree, walnut and peach
travelled westward from Persia. Very
few consider that oats originated II
North Africa at time when Egypt
was the granary of the world.
The chestnut came from Italy
celery from Germany, spinach from
Arabia, the sunfower from Peru and
cucumbers from India. Tobacco is a
native Of Virginia.
