one ending, and breathless Carmencita
very promptly found herself neatly laid out
on the boat S floor boards. while an unruffied
Lord George sat in her place at the tiller.
"The treacherous sweeps said he,
they're shooting at u.s. Luckily it's only
revolvers they've got. l hope they don't
get the rifles out of those cases, and try with
them. With this light breeze we sha mt
drop down out of rifeshot for half an hour
the cases open!"
"And can't you see yet what 1 tried to
save you from?'
Lord George looked puzzled.
3The excellent Don Herman Schlesinger
of New York employed you to bring those
guns and cartridges here?'

before you could deliver them to General
Laredo. He had been paid you know, be-
fore they left New York

Because there was neither gun nor
cartridge in any of the boxes. What you
brought down here to Nicaragua and what

Lord George flushed a deep red. "And

l met man once-it seems years ago-who
said he was poor too and could not afford to
marry girl who was not rich. So when
saw chance of getting riches took that
chance. Can you think of anything more
foolish?'
Lord George continued to think as the
boat dropped away down stream and the
revolver bullets spitefully spat into the
water astern. But at last he announced,
1--WE are out of shot now"
Dona Carmencita sat up, stood up, tot
tered, and fell fainting into his arms.
Certainly at that moment Lord George
Drew was the most embarrassed man in all
Central America.

could drop down on the current in that and
sail round to Puerto Angeles. But it will
mean two days trip. and you will find it a
roughish dose in an open boat.
Juan, dear Juan, take me away!'
Every we'll, said Lord George, @as you
seem SO keen on it, and went below for food
and couple of tins of water.
COLONEL QUESADA'S men were sol
- diers, and unhandy with ships gear
They were making long job of weighing
the ammunition cases and the boxes of rifles
Also the day was hot, and already they were
tired. The farewells between Colonel Que
sada and the two in the gig were brief and
dry.
Lord George showed off, and when the
boat had dropped clear of the steamer he
stepped his mast, hoisted the lug, and took
half turn with the sheet round thwart.
Then he moved aft to steer.
But Dona Carmencita had the tiller under
her arm, and asked if she might retain it.
"Rest now. Senior, while you have the
chance" said she. "You will want your
strength for afterward.'
She was stiff and formal in the way she
addressed him, and for the moment Lord
George frowned. But then he saw it was for
the best. They are very punctilious about
etiquette between the sexes in Central Amer
lea, and open boat cruising with girl to
whom one is not married or at least engaged
does not come within the scheme at all. So,
as the wind was light and steady, and the
lug sail small, he lay on his back on the bot
tom of the boat, smoking quietly, and adj
miring the hot cobalt of the sky overhead,
and occasionally admiring .Carmencita.
The whop-swish of bullet ricocheting
alongside woke him sharply. He sprang up,
and the girl, with a small hand on his shout
der, desperately tried to thrust him down
again. Another bullet pinged past over
head She took two hands to him, using all
her woman's strength to thrust him down
under cover
But wrestle of that kind can have but

Continued from page !.

The winter came, and the earth was COW
cred for weeks with snow, and the desolation
of the brown house under the gray crags of
the mountain seemed unbroken. No one
ever passed that way, and the only paths
from the house led to the barn and the cattle
stables, and the brown maid worked from
early morning until late night. 1t was well
she did; for at this time the eldest of the
three at the brown house folded her hands
and lay silently with her face to the wall and
her eyes shut, and after some days she made
her exit. They carried her out when the
snow had melted, and put her deep in the
wet ground, and made a mound over the
place SO that they could remember where it
was. And in the house they grew used to
the empty chair on the hearth, and they no
longer looked for her grotesque shadow on
the wall when the candles were lit.
The brown maid rose early, and fed the
cattle, and MIXED the cows, and cleaned the
house, and churned the butter. She began
to learn carpentry, and mended the corn
cribs, and made new fence around the pig
sly. When the day work was done she took
up the knitting of the eldest one who had
passed. and made socks and mittens and
stockings and wristbands and muff1ers. She
worked every evening, and kept her eyes
fixed upon her work, and never once did
she raise them to speak to the oaks or the
river
Once or twice in the early spring when the
sap beganto rise in the twigs and to shed
purple mist over all the bushes, the brown
maid wandered out over the woodland ways
where in the fullness of life she had been
before. Then she would lay her hand to the
end of long knife that had pierced her
heart to turn it, feeling how deep it had
gone and how much of the wound was un-
healed.
One day the second eldest in the brown
house, the little wrinkled aunt, who spoke
least of ALL lay down, and folded her hands,
and shut her eyes, and turned her face to the
wall, and after few days she made her exit.
And they carried her out, and laid her under
the ground opposite the eldest one, making
a mound there SO that they should remember
where she was Then the brown maid and
her father sat in the two chairs opposite the
hearth in the evening, and now and then
they spoke to each other.
WHEN new spring came the brown
maid went out over the woodland
ways where the sap was rising in the twigs
and the faint sunshine falling through them

dressed and eat what they ate. And the
maid, with her face set to the fading sky like
star in the dim purple of evening, listened
and thought that where love led the way it
mattered little what life exacted. All the
white peoples in the meadow bowed and
swaved in the evening breeze, and said yes
to her thought.
In the pauses of the day when her lover
was not with her the brown maid still went
down and talked to the river.
"Do you love the willows that lean over
your edges and look down into your asked
the maid
a feed them, and help them to grow
said the stream.
"And the cows, the nice old COWS that
come down at sultry noon and stand knee
deep in you, do you love them?'
Il cool them, and ] give them rest and
health"
@But the green lush meadows that stretch
all along your banks so tenderly surely you
love thern?' said the maid
II keep them green, said the river.
"What then" asked the maid, "what do
you love as l love my lover?'
"Ah," said the river, Il love the clouds
whose feelings mirror in my BOSOM and the
sea into whose arms | shall rush.
"That sounds little far away said the
maid. and she got up to go home
at is only the distant and the unattain-
able that can be truly loved, said the river.
But excuse me now: | must hurry
The maid laughed as she turned away.
THE summer passed and autumn came
with its short days and cold nights, and
the house inside was dull where the four of
them sat together, the father doing before
the fire. and the aunt and the grandmother
knitting by the lamp. Her lover came to
her three times-and then he did not come.
The maid wrapped shawl over her head,
and stood out by the clump of lilacs, and
waited until she was tired of waiting, and
watched the stars which were very far away.
She remembered too how much farther apart
they were than they seemed; and even the
little jeweled group of the Pleiades that rose
upon the eastern horizon SO clearly pointed
as to seem golden brooch in the sky, she
knew were but six lonely stars too far apart
to be within hailing distance. The autumn
evenings grew very chill and night by
night as she watched and her lover never
came she understood more and more of the
stars They never made her shudder now, nor
long to touch the four walls of her attic room.

has thrilled it's thousands, but TO Ethel
NJ. Coleman, little chorus girl, fell
the tragic honor of being the central
figure, after death. In the most drar
matte scene in which any members Of
the great company have ever parttci-
pated.
The great play has been ably inter
preted. Men and women who lead their
profession have held audiences spell
bound by the marvellous art with which
they played the parts assigned them.
Aided by the magic of stagecraft, they
have made the scenes Of the great
drama so nearly true to life that rea-
son alone could detect the forgery. In
their elaborate make-believe every
night they live through the story Of
1900 years ago. And every night their
efforts impress hundreds with a fuller
realization of humanity's debt to the
Creator for the coming Of His Son.

has ever produced, aided by scenes and
setting as realistic as the earth itself

AT THE MAJESTIC.

A better dressed man or a more
beautifully gowned woman than Tom
and E5taCia Moore have never been
seen in vaudeville here. The Moores
put on the feature act at the Majestic
for the last half OF the week and are
certainly great dressers. Mrs. Moore
wears eight beautiful gowns while
Mr.. Moore furnishes some novel eff
fects in mems dress. Mrs. Moore's
final appearance in q wonderful gown
and wearing a gigantic Russian tur-
ban was the signal for some great
comedy from Tom. The latter picked
an apple and banana off the hat and
ate them TO the accompaniment OF
some decidedly funny mOnologue. The
act is strong and in fact is not exact
ly like any other ever seen here. The
singing and funmaking is high class
and proved very entertaining to a
large audience. The Reed sisters do
an acrObatic dancing stunt and Marie
Dorr gives some splendid impersona-
tons. Bush and Keyser inject much
comedy into their burlesque bar act.
Mrs. Casey sings a new song and the

Kewanee. March 10.-Roy Howes,
aged 70. was held to the Henry coun-
" grand jury yesterday for horse
stealing. His bccd was fixed a $1,000
and he went 20 Jail. Hoves admitted
he was guilty. One Of the horses was
stolen from 0. A Dunbar, whose farm
is east of tGewaree, and the other
from Hans HENSON OF GeDsseo. The
former horse vas sold at Rock Falls.
With the money Hcwes purchased
himself new outfit Of clothing and
resumed operations. He struck a snag
when he attempted to dispose of the
HENSON horse at Oneida. M. Wy
man, the liveryma1 there: with whom
Howes was negotiating, grew sUsPic-

the first trouble he was ever in. He
claims that his parents are separated
and that he has been making his own
way since he was a mere boy. He

desperation stole the horses.
