woman. "Good-by."
She drew instantly apart from him.
"Mr. Charnock," rang the captains
voice, imperatively.
Slowly the islander turned and made
, HIS way to the sea after the others.
The woman, thus left alone upon
the island, was face to face with a
crisis which could only be met in two
ways. Either she must go away with
the man, or they must both remain on
the island. 1t was possible that the
captain might be induced to use force

not likely, and II 1t were attempted,

for her belief, that the man who had

She could not go away with him; she
could not live with him on the island.

had learned that afternoon on the sand
that if his identity could be estab-
lished he would be man of great
wealth, power, factor in the

Startling Facts Brought Out In
Report Of Consul General
AT Barcelona.

The department of state at Wash
ington has received report from the
American consul general at BARGE
Iona, Spain, in regard to the band of
swindlers operating in various towns
and cities in Spain, who make prac-
tice of writing to persons in the Unit
ed States respecting the imprison-
ment of relative and the guardian
ship of a child.
The consul general states that the
alleged prisoner generally describes
himself as political prisoner from
Cuba; he is at the point Of death and
has but one friend-the prison priest
through whose good offices he is
enabled to smuggle an occasional let
ter out of the prison fort.
The prisoner is rich. He has a for.
tune in cash on deposit in the United
States, but the certificate of deposit
is concealed in a secret receptacle
of his valise; the valise itself has
been taken possession of by the court

Her crushing disappointment at his
failure to rise to the measure of her
ideal Of him, the total end of her
dream of happiness, the breaking of
all her hopes, the closing of all her
ambitions, the tearing asunder of her
heartstrings whelmed her in agony.
She had thought that never could hui

superinduced by the horror of her po-
sition upon the ship, but that pain to
the present was like caress. For to
all that old horror was added a new
sense of loss, of disappointment and
despair. She had not loved before /;
now she did, and the sorrow and an.
guish were measured by the depth and
power of her passion. The period on
the yacht had been an episode. This
was life, eternal life or death, she
thought. And it shows the power OF
the episode that it had colored and

Wood Has Won His Way.

Gen. Leonard Woods appointment as chief of staff of the army to suc- ceed Gen. Bell will undoubtedly start anew the discussion about the value of professional training in the army. Ever since MT. Roots reorganization of the service. officers have studied more dii- gently than ever before. In addition to graduate schools for engineers, art illerv, cavalry and infantry, there is a staff college at For Leavenworth as well as war college in Washington. But the spectacle is now presented of the appointment to the most influen- tial position in the army of one who attended neither West Point nor any other military school in or outside of the army; who was until eleven years ago in the active practice of medicine and surgery; who never drilled a. com pany in his life; whose experience as a regimental commander lasted but two months in 1898. Many officers will not fail to say. with good deal of force, that if man of this education and experience, trained for totally different position, is entitled to what is practically the headship of the army. all the laborious studying of the modern officer is needless. They will, with justice, point out that such happening would be impossible in any other country than our own. Here the Dellel SIlll perSlSLS that any man can abandon the plough and become at once a competent colonel or general.
 All of this feeling is not due to jeal- ousy of Gen. Wood or to, his personali-l ty. The opinion of the army, as it comes to us. is that Gen. Woods un- tagging activities, physical vigor and genuine ability have won him the re- spect of many who felt bitterly ag- grieved at his being made a general. It is known that Mir. Taft formed a hish opinion of Gen. Woods energy

Munchausenisms.

The vagueness of Cooks story was against him. So was the apparent inn possibility, with his equipment of car rying food enough for his long Polar journey. So. in the public opinion, was the affidavit of Barrille that Cook never climbed Mt. Mckinley. So were the statements of Peary's reputable companions that Cooks Esquimeaux disclaimed having reached the Pole. So were the affidavits of Loose and Dunkle that they had faked for Dr. Cook a set of observations which eith- CT were used or were not worth the $4,000 they demanded. But Cook him. self has been so adequate an engineer of his own downfall that his enemies must by now be ashamed of their haste to offer assistance
 Since the publication of his own Muchausenisms The World has had no more faith in Cook than have his critics and denouncers; but we do not regret the kindlier course of refrain ing from calling him a liar in advance of an authoritative scientific decision. And what a magnificent liar he was ! Hailed by half the civilized world, welcomed by a king, greeted with an arch of triumph in his home city, mobbed by cheering thousands. he was indeed "one of the most audacious and memorable impostors in the annals of science."-N. Y. World.

HOW WALKS SHOULD BE
 CLEANED.

A writer to the Providence Journal ventures this suggestion as to how city walks should be rid of their snow:
 Although l see a number of people cleaning the sidewalks they do not take the precaution to throw the snow clear of the gutter, but simply push the snow just clean of the sidewalk, and just as soon as a thaw comes along there is flood, and then cold snap freezes, which makes walking hazardous and results in more than one broken leg or a bad fall.
 Tt would be well for the city coun- cil to take notice of this near-sighted- ness on the part of the citizens of Providence."
 While there are few cities where all the citizens are prompt to clear their walks of snow, there are some who at public expense blow the walks in the most important streets, while oth- CTS by the activity of the street com missioner and the publication of city ordinances, succeed in moving the peo- ple-renters and -holders-along this line of duty; but in no city is the order made to throw the snow clear of the gutter. Here in Norwich we all throw our snow into the gut ter and then the street commissioner. going with a gutter clearing, blow. throws it into the street Providence appears to be wholly without the gut ter blow and the gang to work it. It would certainly be easier to dig the gutters. out than to attempt to throw the snow clear of them.

 Tt will remain at this temperature for from one to three weeks and should he constantly watched and tested with begins to fall the mushroom bed should be made immediately. In making the bed the compost should be packed very firmly. The firmer it is the less ,iif!i- cult it will be to maintain the Decss- sary amount of moisuture. My color ed gardener always uses a brick or short block of wood to beat down he compost. He puts it on layer by lly- CT, beating each down before ldilng another.
 'When this is done the temperature falls to about 80 degrees. Some rrc- fessional growers have told me tnat they put in the spawn when their beds were at 90, but according to my eSne- rience between 75 and 80 is the safter plan. Now that the bed is ready the spawn should be carefully broken into pieces about the size of a,walnut and planted from one to eight three inches deep and from six to eight inches apart. Some growers insist that tl.ey should be planted vertically, but have not found that it made the slightest difference. After the spawning is done. then the bed must be packed again. It should then be let alone for a week or ten days. until the white strings of the mycelium can be seen running through the bed. Then it must be covered with another layer of compost, beaten down as firmly as the first.
 If after putting on the casing-this last layer of compost is called casing 70 chOIIld chnvJr a fnndanRX tn dry up, the walls should be sprinkled and a light mulch of straw spread over the beds. Under no circumstances should water be poured directly on the heds When sprinkling the walls does not suffice, the mulch may be sprin- lSled with a fine spray. The only prac- tical test to see if the bed contains enough moisture is to press a piece of the compost between two pieces of wood. There should be just the slight est show of moisture After spawning there is wait of from five weeks to four mcnths It is usually said that two months should be the limit, but have had a bed lie for four months, and then produce a fine crop one of the finest I have ever raised Profess sional growers advised me 10 give it up but I was patient watching the moisture and temperature, and in the end I was amply repaid. After de- ducting the cost of labor and other ex- penses during the two years that I have been growing them for market, I have added S2.000 to my income. As my husband is working on a moderate salary. we find it a very acceptable ad- dition."

CIRCULATION
NO DREAM.

The people of other parts of the country regard the wonderful night performances of the Tillinghast air ship of which the world knows so lit- tie. as a popular New England hallu- cination: but tie prospect is that the whole country will be amazed some day by record of flight which will put all other air navigators into the shade.
 No one has had the pleasure of see- ing this TiIlinghast machine yet. ex- cept as it is gazed at from the earth as it passes In the night. This air. ship passed over Norwich in the bright moonlight and those who first saw it claim that they saw its outlines plain ly. It was seen by hundreds of peo- pie and none doubt it's reality. As seen from some points 1t showed two bright lights; and as viewed from oth- CT points it looked like a star, except ct such times as it would by its mo- ton show two lights, leaving no doubt of it's being a moving craft. It took but short time for 1t to pass entirely from view.
 It is claimed for it that in case the engine breaks 1t will scale with three men in 1t for forty-hve minutes. which gives time to repair slight breaks, and also gives ample opportunity to make a landing if things have gone wrong; and it is also said that the engine is unlike any engine ever yet invented.
 The trips that this machine is mak- ing over New England show that those handling it have perfect confidence in 1t, and that they are doing stunts such as no other air navigators have ven- tured upon.

GOOD WORDS,

This is the time of year when the editor of a newspaper hears more good than evil words said of him and his work.
 The newspaper family Is a large family. and an honest family, as is att tested by the thousands of small &C., counts owed and the small per cent. who discredit themselves by neglect ing to pay.
 They are not letter writers-most of them find 1t difficult to frame up a good letter-yet, while writing a brief business note, many of them venture to write a few words of appreciation which under the circumstances act as an inspiration.
 A letter at hand says: T could not get along without The Bulletin. My father took it for forty five years. It seems like an old friend and improves with the years"
 It pleases Ths Bulletin to receive guch appreciative words, and we know The Bulletin must improve with the years. It is our duty to it and to its patrons to make it useful servant in every department of life and the pub fishers will spare no pains in doing so

HE ROSE IN THE WORLD.

The new president of the Baltimore & Ohio railroad made his own way to this place of great responsibility and trust. Daniel Willard, at IS, was a day lsborer in section gang on the Central Vermont road, and his univer- sty training was obtained right from his daily service. He has played the part of a fireman, engineer, brake man, conductor, roundhouse foreman, trainmaster and finally general man ager of the Burlington system, and then he became vice president of the Baltimore & Ohio, and with the open ing of 1910 will control that great sys- tere and ride in his own private car.
 It is a long way up from a section hand to the presidency of such great road as that, but it was not good luck but good work which accomplished it. Mir. Willard made the most of him self, induiged in no little vices and whenever door of opportunity open ed he entered in. He must have been an exceptional man from youth to age, for the only inference which can be drawn from his success is that he was always first class in every position and the confidence he created in his ability to do just right kept the doors of op- portunity opening to him. Other Am ericap boys who are beginning low down now need not despair if they make the most of themselves and make good in every position to which they may be appointed.

A JUST PROPOSITION.

It Is only just that the assistant postmasters of the country in first aui second class offices. should be placed in the competitive classified service. a movement which has received the en- dorsement of the Connecticut Cig:l Service Reform association. and which will tell for the future efficiency of tile service as well as being well earned guaranty for the men who are largely instrumental in producing the good work which is done in the larger of fees.
 It is rather singular that a matter of so much importance as this has so long been overlooked, and there ap- pears to be no good reason why it should be longer delayed. If faithful ness. capability, despatch. in fact, ev '. cry quality which tells for efficiency is worthy of recognition and reward is to be ignored in such important cases as these, is not the civil service sys- tenn to this degree handicapped by a false pretence?
