We had taken lodgings at York for

We had taken iSdgings at York fol-
the trial.
The evening of the ball found the
streets crowded as l had never seer
them before. The great case, which
would be reached within day or two
brought crowds to attend the assizes
many persons coming even from Lon
don. These were chiefly gentlemen
of the nobility and gentry who were
friends Of Giles Vernon's, for never
man had so many friends.
1t was cold, bright February night
and the street in front of the assize
hall where the ball was held was
packed with chariots, chaises, and
people on foot, flaring torches and
bawling footmen. as if it were Lon.
don rout. AS our carriage passed the
entrance. the way was blocked by the
judges chariots, from which they de-
scended in state. Our coachman, whip
ping up to get the next place in line
locked wheels with the coach of Sir
Thomas Vernon. He sat back, his
face visible by the lamps in the court
yard, and as unconcerned as if the
case which had brought us all to York
was one of his servants beating the
watch, instead of the trial of his rela-
tive and heir on a capital charge.
The crowd showed its disapproval of
Sir Thomas by hurling abusive
epithets at him. which only caused him
to smile. But he had another enemy
to encounter, which was Lady Hawk
shaw, and in full sight and hearing
of the judges, as they stepped with
stately tread up the stairs, occurred a
battle mort between her and Sir
Thomas Vernon, to the intense en-.
joyment of the crowd, which was up.
roariously on Lady Hawkshaw's side.
Neither Sir Peter nor | took any part
in the fray, seeing Lady Hawkshaw
had the best of it from the start, and
that, woman against man, the populace
was heartily with her.
1t began by Lady Hawkshaw's put
ting her head out of the coach and
saying at the top of her voice-and
what a voice!-"Good evening. Sir
Thomas. We are called here upon a
sad occasion, but | hope that English
justice will prevail to save the life of
that gallant young man, your heir,
Giles Vernon"
To which Sir Thomas, with a wicked
grin, replied:
We may safely leave that to the
jury and to their honors, the lords

CHAPTER IX.-Continued.

AS soon as Giles was lodged in Jail,
Sir Peter and Lady Hawkshaw, Daph-
ne and l went Immediately to see him.
We drove in state in coach and four,
with outriders, Sir Peter in his uni
form, with his sword, and l also in
uniform; for our object was to testify
publicly our regard for Giles and de-
testation of the prosecution for his life
which was on foot.
We reached the great gloomy build
ing, and the turnkey Immediately
showed US to Giles room. 1t was one
Of the best rooms in the place. and
would have been comfortable enough
had it not been in a prison.
He was delighted to see us. kissed
Lady Hawkshaw's hand, and gave
Daphne hearty smack on the cheek.
He looked well. and l expected to find
him hopeful; but he seemed to regard
his fate as fixed, although 1t in no
wise disturbed his cheerfulness. Sir
Peter at once told him that everything
possible should be done for his de-
fense, and that eminent counsel were
then on their way from London for
him; and he and Lady Hawkshaw
would bear all the costs of the trial.
And we," cried Daphne, claim the
right to help; and when you are ac-
quilted. you will find all your debts
paid and need not trouble yourself
where the money comes from"
Tears sprang to Giles eyes at this,
and he looked gratefully upon us all.
Dear friends" he said, u thank
you; but l shall not be acquitted. Sir
Thomas Vernon and Lady Arabella
6tormont thirst for my blood, and
BY my own folly l have put the moose
around my neck. But l say to you
from the bottom of my heart that
rather would die upon the gibbet than
be married to Lady Arabella. God was
good to me in giving her to me as my
enemy instead of my WIFE
There was something in this; for
what man could think, without shud-
dertng, of taking Arabella Stormont
to wife?
I saw that Giles had completely re-
severed from his madness. He blamed
NO one, frankly acknowledging his
own folly, and bore himself as became
an officer and gentleman.
Sir Peter would by no means admit
there was the smallest chance of an
adverse verdict; but although l could
not bring myself to believe that the
extreme penalty Of the law would be
carried out, yet thought it very like
" that the case was too plain for Giles
to escape conviction. The conduct of
Daphne and Lady Hawkshaw to him
was such that came out of the Jail
with a deeper reverence, higher es-
Eoem for women than had known be-
fore. although l had always believed
them to be Gods angels on earth with
. few e1ceptions). So gentle and
earessing was Daphne, so boldly and
determinedly friendly was Lady Hawk
shaw, that 1t did ones heart good.
Daphne announced her intention of
Soing to see Sir Thomas Vernon and
pleading with him, while Lady Hawk
shaw threatened to give him her
ppinion of him publicly, which was. in
deed, a dreadful threat.
The trial came off at the February
assizes. and on the night before was
the great assize ball. The word was
passed around that all of Giles Yer
mons friends were to attend this bali,
by way of showing our confidence
Alas!-in his acquittal. Therefore, on
that night, we-that IL, the Hawk.
shaws, Daphne and I-were to go to the
ali In all the state We could muster.

mains for the next few days--perhaps
one or two will suffice-to show wheth-
er the relations between the United

Secretayr of State Knox himself is

mand for reparation will be made upon
Nicaragua should the inquiries develop
that the allegations touching the death
of the two Americans are well
grounded.
Late last night the secretary de-
clared himself, and proceedings in the
Nicaraguan affair today will doubtless
be along the line of prosecution Of in

Warlike Preparations.
Knox is acting with the full approval
of the president, and American war

The gunboat vicksburg will probably

The black damp in the east gallery was
the obstacle that proved unsurmount-
able to the men.
Thru it the bodies of thirty-seven
men could be seen. Preparations for
the taking out of the thirty-seven bod
les visible to the explorers were rushed
when the morbid crowd about the mine
had thinned.
That the bodies might have been tax
en- up earlier was admitted by those
in charge of the work but they thought
of the scenes that would have followed
A crowd numbering thousand,
frankly seeking sensations, pressed
against the ropes guarding the pas
sages.
In the mine levels the rescue work
went on increasingly. Relays of mine
workers succeeded those who had be-
come tired. Those who stayed by the
pit mouth were surrounded instantly
and babel of Kisses hurled at them.
1--WE can see the bodies. There are
piles of them. They are dead bodies.
All dead" was the reply Of the first
and those who followed gave no more
cheerful answers.
But they could be living back there.
they could be alive. Tom, couldn't
they?" came voice from the group
about one.
'iNo chance" then the miner paused
he saw the trembling hands Of the old
man who had pushed to his side.

DESPAIR ON SUNDAY.
Failure to Bring All Survivors to Sur
face Causes Sorrow.


Cherry, ILL.,, Nov. 22-Twenty saved.
ninety-two known dead and 1913 miss
ing was the record at the st. Paul mine
last night. Ten dead were brought to
the surface Sunday and thirty-seven
more dead were located in the second
level, but were not brought up on ac-
count of black damp.
What had proved to be Cherry's real
day of thanksgiving ended in night
Of hope deferred, or despair. At the
end of the day no living man or boy
had been added to the list of the
twenty rescued Saturday.
All day long the tolling of church
bells resounded In Cherry and Spring
Valley. Eighteen bodies were inferred
today in field south of the town. At
the mine a dozen coffined victims re-
manned awaiting removal while score
of caskets were piled nearby for the
bodies which are to come.
Services for the dead were held out
side the churches in which Coroner
Malm deemed it inadvisable to have
the bodies taken.
Mayor Connolly telegraphed Presi-
dent Taft at Washington that twenty
men had been rescued and that $50
were believed to be alive. Each hour
that passes now is looked upon by the
watchers as making the chance of es-
cape less.
"The men they brought up could not
have lived more than few hours
longer" said a despairing woman. "If
they don't come up today they'll come
up dead"
The rescuers worked as II this was
their belief. The fire in the second
level was forced back and espriy IL te:!:e
afternoon the workers could pass It,.

Work Of Street Marking and House
Numbering Soon to Be Started.

Numbering Soon to Be Started.
Special to Times Republican.
Hampton. Nov 22.-After some un-
aWoidable delay it Is now likely that the
work OF numbering the doors and
houses in this city. preparatory TO in
stalling the free delivery OF mail. Will
soon under way. The delay has been
caused by the inability of the council
to sooner get Il plat of the lots proper
ly made, but 1t is thought that this
difficulty viii be overcome, and then a
meeting viii be held for the purpose
of letting the contract of properly
bering the houses.
The system of numbering the doors
has been decided upon and 1t Is thought
that it is a very good one. Fifth street
and Main street have been chosen az
the dividing liner from which to num-
ber north and south. and east and west,
respectively. Houses east of Main Will
| be designated by East prenxed to
| the name of the street and those south
OF Fifth viii have South prefixed to
the name in the same way. All houses
west of Main, and those north of
Fifth. will be known simply by the
present names of the street and the
number soon to be assigned to 1t.
The choice of Firth and Main streets
as dividing lines was fortunate. as It
conforms to the ward lines. with the
exception that they are divurgcd so as
! To- make the wards center mt the center
Of the courthouse rotunda.

May Hurt All Trusts.

washington, Nov 22.--lT the SUI
preme court shall sustain the decision
of the federal court of the Eighth tu-
dical circuit in ordering the dissolution
of the Standard Oil combination. there
must be a reorganization of the oper
ating methods of most of the grea
corporations of the country.
1t does not follow, of course. tha
control of these properties will pas
from the hands of the men who now
posses it. Unquestionably there legal
advisers already have busted them
selves in devising a new plan whereby
the intent of the antitrust law may be
evaded. 1t is this aspect of the matter
which is realized fully by President
Taft and is responsible for his determi-
nation to press congress vigorously for
the legislation he believes to be essen
tial to remedy the trust evil.
There are two aspects of the situ-
alton created by the decision of the

only upon Standard Oil but upon ou-
merous other combinations formed
along the same general lines; and. sec
ond, the valuable guide 1T will be in
connection with the framing of the leg
islatlon which congress will be called
upon to enact.
1t is accepted as a matter of course
that if the supreme court shall uphold
the action of the lower court every
combination of the character of the
ST ndard OIL will dissolve and will
adopt a new form of corporate exist
ence. BY the time the supreme court
hands down its decision. however. 1t
may be congress will have placed upon
the statute books "a new law relating 10
trusts, probably along the lines OF
President Tafts recommendations 1t
is hoped by the authorities that. IN

lish irm footing for combinations OF
capital. the financial interests will
deen it advisable to use their influence
to obtain congressional action.

Would Be Far Reaching.

New York, Nov. 22.-Confere of
officials and leading counsel for the
Standard Oil were held here today, to
begin the work of outlining the COM
pany's course of action following the
adverse decision in the governments $
suit against the company, rendered on
Saturday.
Mortimer F. Elliott. general counsel
for the Standard Oil Company, said in
commenting for the first time on the
decision against the company handed
down yesterday by the United States
circuit at ST Paul:
II have seen what purports to be the
text of the decree handed down by the
United States circuit court yesterday.
This company will take an appeal i'm
mAdiately to the United States supreme
court, and will cheerfully abide by the
verdict of the highest count in the land
whatever that may be-
Arguments in this case began last
April, and we are glad TO have reached
an opinion. do not mean that we are
pleased with the opinion itself but that
we are glad ITO get it whatever its ma
ture.
The decree does not order a dissolu-
'tion of the Standard Oil Company; that
is "a misunderstanding What the decree
orders, as l now understand 1t, is that
the company shall distribute among Its
stockholders, OF whom there are ap-
lproNimately 5000. its holdings in the
stock of subsidiary companies. This
distribution, l further understand, Is
ordered to be effected on a pro rata
basis of apportionment That is to say
the heaviest holders of STANDARD Oh
stock would receive proportional,
number of shares in the stock of sub.
sidiary companies"
