 We hadn't any more than got the cash and valuabIes ready to smuggle aboard when down came Rasula upon us-10 o'clock last night. your lord ship. He had a dozen men with him, and he told every mothers son of us that our presence in the town was not desired until after the ship had sailed away. We were taken up into the hills by a squad of men. There wasn't a man among us that didn't know that we were to be killed as soon as the ship had gone. With our own eyes we saw the mail bags rified and nearly all of the mail destroyed. The pouches from the chateau were burned. Ra- sula politely informed us that the plague had broken out among the cha teau servants and that no mail could be sent out from thax place. He said he intended to warn the ships officer of the danger in landing, and-well, that explains the short stay of the ship and the absence of nearly all mail from the island. There won't be an- other boat for three weeks, and they won't land because of the plague. They will get word, however, that every one in the chateau has died of the disease and that scores of natives are dying every day.
 well, we decided to break away from the guard ard try to get tH the chateau. It vas their intention to take some of us back to the bank this morning to open the vault and the safes. That was to be our last act, I fancy. About 4 tbis. morning a dozen of tidEwomen came up to where we were being held. They were flying from the town and ran into the arms of our guard before they knew of their presence. It seems that those devils down their had set out to kill their women because it was known that one of them had warned Mir Chase o1 his danger. During the excitement brought about by their arrival in ouI camp we made a sudden attack upon our guards. They were not expecting it, and we had seized their rifles before they could recover from their surprise I regret to say that we were obliged tC kill few of them in the row that fol lowed. You let us in just in time. My word, it was a close shave"

 The arrival of the refugees from Arafat gave the chateau stanch lit tie garrison of sixty men.
 "For the time being we are as snug as bugs in a rug,'' said Deppinsham the ladies' gentlemen" He was as calm as a May morning.
 The three leaders found the ladies in the shaded balcony, lounging lazily, as if no such thing as danger existed Below them in the grassy courtyard a dozen indolent Persians were congre- gated, lying about in the shade with all the abandon of absolute security. The three women in the balcony had been watching them for an hour, com menting freely upon these creatures from another world Neenah, the youngest and prettiest of them all, had waited kisses to the proud danes above She had danced for their amusement.
 Lady Aspes waved her hand lazily toward the group below, sending a mocking smile to Chase. "The Asiatic plague she said cheerfully.

Accoantina Law.

In order to carry into effect the terms
Of the uniform accounting law, which
was passed st the last session Of the
legislature and which gees into effect
vita the new year, all county officers
elect are having printed the necessary
books for keeping accounts as required

ecuting attorney, clerk Of the county
court and clerk Of the circuit sour
slanks have been supplied showing
the kinds Of books that must ia se-
cared.
None If the Berkeley officials are
over-enthusiastic about the new law,
although some declare that il is
step il the right direction and that
they are willing TO give the system
a thorough trial. Some of the officials,
however, fear that it will pean SO
much additional work that more office
help Will be required. In the case Of
the circuit clerks office the new law
requires the keeping OF five different
books, whereas enc book has always
sufficed to keep the accour ts of the
court heretofore A present the clerk
has one book ofaecouats. In this book,
on one side Of the page is kept list of
plaintiffs fees and credits, with sim-
liar list of defendaatsl fees and credits
on the other side of the page. BY this
simple system the accounts of the
court have been kept in the past. The
new law requires one separats book for
fees OF, the law side, another book for
fees on the chancery side, a journal a
cash account and ledger, or five diff
ferent books.
Under the uniform accounting law
each county officer must submit quar-
terly reports, a copy of the report 60
ing to the state tax com missioner, one
to the sheriff and one to the county
court. These reports must be made out
and submitted within seven days after
the expiration Of each quartz.
