been discharged by Orr, another shell put
in and then handed to young Mccartney,
and in some way was accidentally dis
charged while pointed straight at Orr and
at close range. No serious results are
fact that the result of the shot was no
more serious is remarkable. The bullet
apparently struck the head and glanced
off after blowing through the skin.

w. w. Battle, United States revenue
collector, who recently returned from a
raid In Georgia. reports that the largest
outfit ever destroyed by him was found
In Chattanooga county. No arrests were
made, but four men were seen running
away from the still. and 1t is probable
that arrests will follow. Mr.. Battle says
that the plant consisted of two copper
stills of 1853 and 12o gallons capacity, 20
fermenters and a large quantity of sour
mash. The still was in operation at the
time of the raid. and 5000 gallons of beer
were destroyed.

The prospects now look pretty bright
for strenuous baseball in Admission the
coming summer and plenty of it. The
proposed Alabama Georgia league, which
includes four towns in Alabama and two
in Georgia, is reported as coming along
smoothly in its organization, and of
course a lively interest is felt in the sport
at the Alabama Presbyterian college,
and harder work is being put in on the or
ganization of that team, and the schedule
than ever before. Local interest always
attaches to athletics at the Jacksonville
Normal school, and President c.. w.
Daugette, who was here today, says that
a good team will be organized there, and
that the schedule OF games includes a
series each with the Alabama Presby-
terrain college, Selma Military institute
Howard. Greensboro, Marion, Birming-
ham college and Chattanooga university.
The season will be opened here on March
q with the Alabama Presbyterian col
lege.

Just whether the police force is hav-

whether blind tigering is on the increase
In Admission, is pretty hard to decide. but
yesterday added two more cases for the
weeks total, this time an old negro
woman and a crippled draymsn of about
the Same color being the suspects, and
these make a total Of FIVE that have been
discovered and nipped this week. At the
session OF the recorders court this morn
ing the hearing was postponed. The re-
suit will no doubt be a conviction.
Lewis Kirby got SO and costs for be-
ing generally dsorderly while In front
of too much whisky, and Bill Storey was
fined the same on a similar charge and
an additional SIS for public indecency.
Grace Ramsey, a white girl about II
years old, who has been giving the police
and the recorder considerable trouble,
was fined $50 and costs at this session and
given a jail sentence on a charge of va
grancy. The recorder informed her at the
trial this morning that he had tried all

a change in her, and that on this latest
charge he would have to grow strenuous.

Charles proceeded up stairs and

the visitor asked from within, who
is there?"
But the child, overwhelmed by the
responsibility of his errand, became
confused and replied, 1T is the Lord,

SYNOPSIS.

The story opens with the shipwreck of
the steamer on which Miss Gcnevieve
Leslie, an American heiress, Lord Win
thrope, an Englishman, and Tom Blake,
bruSque American, were passengers.
The three were tossed upon an uninhab-
tied island and were the only ones not
drowned. Blake, Stunned on the boat,
because of his roughness, became a hero
as preserver CT the helpless pair. The
Englishman was suing for the hand OF
Miss Leslie. WINTHROP wasted his last
scored by Blake. All three constructed
hats to shield themselves from the sun.
They then toasted on cocoanuts, the only
PrTocurable food. Miss Leslie showed a
liking for Blake, but detested his rough
ness. Led by Blake they established a
home In some cliffs. Blake found fresh

large leopard and smothering several
cubs. In the leopards cavern they built
small home. They gained the cliffs by
burning the bottom of a tree until 1t fell

skirt was decided upon as a signal. Miss
Leslie made dress from the leopard

TWO FAULTS COULD BE CURED
Prospective Husband and Wife Both
Full of Confidence.

An Irish boy marries when he has
rid house, and an Irish girl just when
she pleases, says Seumas MacManus,
in Lippincott's. Sometimes she so
pleases while yet her years are few; at
other times she is content to wait
upon wisdom. In the latter case, OF
course, she makes a wise choice; but
In the former almost always lucky
one-for luck is the guardian angel
of the Irish
You're too young to marry yet,
Mary" the mother said, when Mary
pleaded that she should grant
Laurence O'Mahony a particular boon.
III you only have patience, mother,
I'll cure meself of that fault" was
Mary's reply.
And she's never been used to work,
Laurence" the mother said to the
sutton discouragingly.
IF you only have patience, ma'am,
was Laurence's reply to this, I'll cure
her Of that fault" And he did, too.

But it has been years since the
slave trade was forbidden"
And they don't sell beer in Kansas
oh, no! I'll bet the dhows still slip
over from Madagascar when the moon
is in the right quarter. At any rate,
niggers are mighty scarce or mighty
shy around here. I've kept a watch
for smoke, and haven't seen sus-
picion of 1t anywhere. Maybe the
swamps swing around inland and cut
off this strip of coast. 1t looked that
way to me when | made that trip
along the ridge. But there's a chance
it used to be inhabited and we may
run across an abandoned village"
II do not see that the discovery
would do lis any good
How about the chance of grain or
bananas still growing? But that's all
guess. We're going because we
need change"
She nodded and fastened to pre-
pare breakfast, while he packed a skin
bag with food and examined the slen-
der tips Of his arrows, AS a matter
of precaution, he had been keeping
them in the cigarette case, where the
points would be certain of a coat of
the sticky poison and at the same time
guarded against intlicting a chance
wound But as he was now about to
set out on journey he fitted tips into
! the heads of his two straightest
| shafts.
The morning was still fresh when
they closed the barricade behind them
and descended to the pool. There was
no game in sight, but Blake had nc
wish to hunt at the commencement
OF the trip. The steady southwest
wind had blown the sky clear of its
malarial haze and gave promise of 9
day which should know nothing OF
sultry calm-a day on which game
would be hard to stalk, bat one per
fectly suited for long tramp.
Mindful of ticks, Blake headed OBJ

CHAPTER XIII.
The End Of the World.

L
IN Leslie with a sullen bear;
A ing, which, however, did
not altogether conceal his desire to
be on friendly terms. Having re-
gained her self-control, she responded
to this with such tact that by evening
each felt more at ease in the new re-
lationship, and Blake had lost every
trace of his moroseness. The fact
that both were passionately fond of
music proved an immense help. 1t
gave them an impersonal source OF
mutual sympathy and understanding
"a common meeting-ground in the
world of art and culture, apart from
and above the plane Of their material
wants.
Yet for all his enjoyment OF the
girls wide knowledge of everything
relating to music, Blake took care
that their talks and discussions did
not interfere with the activities of
their primitive mode of life. AS soon
as he had finished with the barricade
he devoted himself to his tailoring
and shoe-making; while Miss Leslie,
between her cooking and wood-gather-
ing and daily visits to the cliff for
eggs, had much to occupy both her
thoughts and her hands.
At first every ascent of the cliff was
embittered by a painful consciousness
of the cairn over the north edge. For
tunately 1t was not In sight from the
direct path to the headland, and, as
she refrained from visiting it, the new
happenings of her wild life soon thrust
Wiuthrope and his death out of the
foreground of her thoughts. Each day
she had to nerve herself to meet the
beaks and wings of the despoiled nest
owners; each day she looked with
greater hope for the expected rescue
ship, only to be increasingly disap
pointed.
But the hours she spent on the cliff
crest after gathering the days supply
of eggs were not spent merely II
