 Colonel Ogilvie threw himself from his horse and knelt down beside Joy. When he saw that she was only faint ing he stood up and lifted his hat to her rescuer:

 Has any one seen after the mare The poor brute must be mangled, if it has not been killed; it ought to be put out of pain"
 The poor brute was indeed a pitiable sight; there was a sigh of relief from the crowd round it down below when a policeman put it out of pain with a revolver shot.
 Seeing that the lady was now recov- ering and in the charge of her father, Athlyne wanted to get away. He hated all such fuss and publicity. He could not let her go lest she should be hurt, but he signed to her father who took his place; then he arose. The girls eyelids quivered and she gave a heavy sigh. Then the eyes opened and she stared wildly at the sea of faces around her. She seemed to recall everything g in an instant, and with a Shudder and a violent movement sprang to her feet

Admiral Lord Hauled
Wants to

of providing first-class battleship OF the
latest type and second of the same type
If subsequent ecentS show 1t is necessary
is most gratefully accepted"
Admiral Lord Charles Beresford, COM
mander of the channel fleet, hauled down
his flag at Portsmouth yesterday, thus
bringing to an end fifty years Of active
service. He was given a rousing send
off by 10000 enthusiastic friends and adj
mirers who had gathered around the
dockyard gates.
Now a Free Lance.
The admiral is now free lance. and it
is expected that he will take an active
part in the agitation for a big navy. In
response to insistent demands for a
speech the admiral said:
Although the admiralty has ordered
me to haul down my flag, which, OF
course. it has a perfect right to do, feel
shall still be able to do service in other
fields of labor. My chief thought will al
ways be the efficiency of the fleet, as
my first desire has been that the ships
under my command should always be
ready for war
A huge crowd assembled at the station
here to meet Lord Charles, and he was
greeted upon arrival by deafening out
burst of cheering. An impetuous spec
tator Lady Reginald Talbot, gave express
sion to the national affection for the ad-
miral by throwing her arms around his
neck and imprinting kiss on his cheek.
AT the same time she called him Dear
old Charlie" an appellation which was
promptly adopted by the crowd.

LIQUOR FIGHT on IN VIRGINIA
LOCAL OPTION ELECTIONS FOR
MANY PLACES.
Anti-Saloon League Announces Its
Programme Statewide
Prohibition Crusade.
Special Dispatch TO The Star.

Special Dispatch TO The Star.
RICHMOND, Va, March 25.-Local OPP
ton elections will be called in Peter burg.
Rocky Mount and the magisterial district
Of Blue Ridge within the next thirty days.
Lists are being prepared for calling such
elections in Harrisonburg Stanton and
Norfolk as early as practicable. A SINH
lar election will be held in Richmond and
Manchester within year.
Such is the announcement made today
by the Rev. J. D. McAllister, secretary of
the Anti-Saloon League of Virginia, in
augurating the great fight of the league
for carrying the principal cities dry by
local option, rather than precipitate a
campaign for statewide prohibition.
Ninety per cent of the counties OF the
state are already dry. The recent de-
cision of the supreme court in the Fred
ericksburs local option case, sustaining
the LEGALITY of the Ward law. under which
the local option elections were held, has
greatly simplified the situation in the
cities.
This decision disposeS of all the cities
in which elections have already been held.
with the exception Of Roanoke. where
other points in connection with the pay
ment of poll taxes are involved Lynch
burg is already dry. Fredericksburg, in
which city the contest was made, will
close its saloons as soon as a court order
to this effect is entered following the
opinion Of the supreme court.
The league is now at work paving the
way for local option elections in HARRISON
burg Staunton and Norfolk In Staunton
the election cannot be held until two
years after the last local option fight. in
which the town went wet. Sufficient
voters are said TO be already pledged TO
insure the town voting dry this time.
Norfolk. of course. Is a larger PROPOSE
ton. The election in that city will prob
ably not be called until after the state
primary, possibly not until next fall This
will leave Manchester. Richmond, Alex
andria, Newport News and Portsmouth
as the only wet cities in the state.
Elections viii be called in at least three
out of the five within the next year In
Portsmouth the fight will PROBABLY be
made at the same time as in Norfolk.
No preliminary canvassing has been
made for an election in Richmond. 1t is
reasonable to presume that the fight IN
this city and in Manchester will come at
or about the same time. for the same rea-
called at or about the same time as that
in Norfolk-thas the purpose of the e.ec-
ton would not be affected by having the
town at one end of the bridge dry and
that at the other end wet.
DR.. McAlllster outlines the plans OF the
league very candidiy saying that the
league has no reason for maintaining any
secrecy about It's work. The league pro-
poses to keep up the fight against the
open saloon until each district now iicens-
ing the sale of liquor shall have had an
| opportunity of submitting the question TO
the popular vote.
