MASS OF

BONES

(By United Press Leased Wire)
HAVANA, Nov. 5.-A mass
of human bones, believed to
be the relics of Cuban refugees
shot down at the orders of
Captain General WeyIer during
the Cuban revolution after
summary court-martial, was
uncovered here today by sewer
excavators.
The bones were found in a
park in the central part Of the
city. There was no cemetery
near. The theory that it is
the burying ground of unfor-
tunates who fell under the
"butcher's" ORDERS is consid-
cred the most plausible.

SYNOPSIS.

A young woman cast ashore on lone
Ty island, finds a solitary nhabitant,
young white man, dressed like a savage
and unable to speak in any known Ian
gnage. She decides 10 educate him aud
mold his mind to her own ideals. She
finds evidence that leads her to believe
that the man is John Revell Charnock of
Virginia, and that he was cast ashore
when child. Katharine Brenton was a
highly specialized product Of a leading
university. Her writings on the sex prob
lem attracted wide attention. The son of
a northumberland becomes infatuated
with her and they decide to put her theo-
ries into practice. With no other cere-
mony than handshake, they 90 away
together. A few days on his yacht re-
Veals to her that he only professed :afty
ideals to possess her. While drunk he at
ternpts to kiss her. She knocks him down
and leaves him unconscious escaping in
the darkness in a gasoline launch. During
a. storm she is cast ashore on an island.
Three years teaching gives the man a
splendid education. Their love for each
other Is revealed when he rescueS her
from cave where she had been imprls-
oncd by an earthquake. A ship is sighted
and they light a beacon to summon it.
Langford on his yacht, sights the beacon
and orders his yacht put in. The woman
recognizes the yacht and tells her com
panion that a man on board had injured
her In the greatest way. Langford rccog
nizes Katharine. He tells the man that
she had been his mistress, and narrowly
escapes being killed.

But you were not Free said the
woman, ito enter upon such an under
taking"
"No, by heaven!" cried Whitaker.
Now, this conversation had been
carried on with three auditors, or
groups of auditors, besides those par.
ticipating; 1angford's yachtsmen, the
marines and seamen from the Chey-
enne, for the boat was against the
Shore and the man Of the island.
Whitaker first awoke to the situa.
ton.
Il beg your pardon" he said, but
would it not be better to continue this
conversation privately?"
Il think so,'' returned Langford.
NO said the. man Of the island,
addressing the lieutenant commander
for the first time, you and these men
are the world. I want the story told
where all the world may hear"
Whittaker's surprise at this remark
was scarcely less than he had expe-
rienced when the woman addressed
him. Who was this splendid, godlike
form Of man standing glooming by the
woman's side, silent, eager listener
to all that TRANSFERRED? What had he
to do with the question that he as.
sumed this tone and manner Of au.
thority? The officer turned toward the
woman.
Il think" said he quietly, that the
lady should be allowed to decide"

the woman laying her hand softly
upon the mans arm.
Whitaker observed that the man
shook it eff nervously, but the point
being settled, there was no further ap.
peal.

simple, natural and primitive Whit
takers glance fell upon a well-nigh per-
feet woman. The constraining intlu
ences of civilization had been so long
absent that nature had time and 'op-
portunity to reassert its claim. She
was tall, exquisitely modelled Her
bare arms might have supplied those
missing from the Venus OF Milo; her
limbs, which the short tunic to her
knees left exposed, were perfect in
their symmetry and strength; her feet
were such as those to which ancient
Greece had bowed; her hands were
shapely, graceful, yet strong; her dark
eyes looked at him fearlessly; her
dark hair rose like somber, cloudy
crown above her brow. The fierce sun,
the open air, the wild wind had not
materially altered the clear slightly
olive pallor of her face. The woman
had been beautiful before. Now that
nature had had free sway, she was
nobly lovely. She had stood a little in
the rear of the man at first and the
lieutenant commander had not partic-
ularly observed her. When she spoke,
she stepped into the open. He stared
and stared amazed.
Indeed, the direct intensity of his
glance added sudden new percep-
ton to the woman's faculties and for
the first time in years she realized
that she was standing before her fell
lows half naked. In one swift mo-
ment convention leaped across the
missing years and caught her in its
arm. The red flashed into her cheek;
beneath her rude vest her bosom rose
and fell. Her instinct for the moment
was to fly. She wished that she had
put on those treasured garments which
she had kept for a scene like this in
that cave all those years. It was too
The Comrade. (Winnfield, La.) 1890-1914, 1910-10-14

late now. She summoned her cour-
age, and realizing that dignity, after
all, is not made of clothes or conven.
tons, once more addressed him.
Sir" she said, my name is Kath.
arine Brenton. I am not, as you might
well think, savage, but castaway."
Il beg your pardon" said the off.
Ger, man of wide reading and Gull
ture; lis it possible that you are the
Katharine Brenton who wrote Fate
and Destiny'?"
Il am that unhappy woman"
Unhappy"
Yes returned the other. "I-"
Madam" said the lieutenant COM
mander, flushing deeply and bowling in
MS turn. He had taken off his cap
at her first word. II beg your pardon,
i have heard something of your story. "
He was very much embarrassed. It
was Langford who took up the tale.
"Since you know so much, Mr.. Whit
taker, you may as we'll hear the rest.
Indeed, l am anxious that the world
should hear it. Miss Brenton and I,
we-er-did not believe in marriage,
and we went away-together."
Every word was agony to Langford,
who was a proud man; it was worse
than agony to Katharine Brenton, who
was a proud woman; and it was worst
agony of all to the man Of the is
land. But Langford persisted. He did
not care how he hurt himself. Indeed,
he rather luxuriated in the conscious
ness Of his own pain. It was part of
his expiation. He realized that he
would have to hurt Katharine, but per-
haps the very keenness of her pain
would make her realize her position,
and he wanted to win her, now that
he had found her and seen her, more
than ever. Nor was his passion a
base one. Again he was ashamed of
what he had already said, so he spoke
the more frankly. He gave no thought
at all to the other man, but If he had,
