The Hawk kept merrily on her way, with all her white wings filled with the fair wind; and she was speeding towards the French coast and the Bay of Biscay. Once or twice as he paced the deck Ronald looked in at the cooks galley; for, though the wealth CT was fine and the sea fairly smooth, he was anxious to know how Smith CTS was getting on.
 Thank you, sir," said Smithers. in answer to Ronald's inquiries; I'm all right up to the present-in fact, sir, I'm beginning to think as I was cut out for a seafaring life; and I shall be perfectly 'appy and comfortable when I've woke to the fact that I'm cooking in a kind of sentry-box, and remember not to knock my head against the top O the door every time I go in and out. Seems to me, sir, If you'll How me to say so, that we've fell on clover. Wonderful nice set O men, sir, they are. Such light 'earted crew; they're as full of their fun as a balloon is of gas, and all Of them inclined to be friendly. Why, sir if you'll believe me- he added, k;s hlue eyes dancing. they've al- rea1y LOOK to calling me Carrots a playful way of alluding to my air, sir. no doubt, which my mother al- ways assured me was hawbun. Oh, I shall get on first rate, sir; don't you worry about me, as the badger said to the dog"
 Your man may be eccentric" Vane remarked as, rather late in the even- ing. he and Ronald sat down to an excellent dinner; ''but he can certain iy cook"
 The two men talked about former cruises of the Hawk and similar topics while the steward and the cabin-boy were present; but, when they had gone and the cigars were alight, Vane suddenly became grave and thought

full, and, after minute or two, he rose, opened the door, listened for !: moment, then closed it and shot the bolt.
 "Now we can have our talk, ,Carew," he said, seating himself and leaning forward, as if he feated that even the low voice in which he spoke might be over heard. Last night I was of the place we were bound for. I'll tell you now. But first want you to promise that if, after having heard the object of this cruise, you don't care to join me, you'll let me set you ashore at the first port and give me your word to respect my confidence
 "I give it you" said Ronald; "bus I don't think want to be put ashore thanks Whatever you may have got in hand, I'm with you heart and soul"
 the two men shook on it. There was silence for a moment or two, then, in still lower voice, Vane said:
 Do you happen to know the Lipari Islands?"
 "You mean the Aeolian Islands ?' said Ronald. 'They lie off the north east of Sicily, don't they. That's so," assented Vane. There's little struggling group of them some of them rather big, some quite small. One of the smallest is Fri cania. Know it?''
 'No,' replied Ronald. "Are we going there?'',
 Vane nodded, and smoked in sil- ence for minute or two; then he said, his eyes fixed on his cigar: Its an unfrequented island; i stands right away from the rest o the group; we'll to the west of them.' He stopped again as if, notwithstand ing his faith in Ronald, he was re | luctant to unbosom himself. 'It's { pleasant little place; you'd like it."

FACTS

If you are a theatre goer and you enjoy vaudeville, in fact the best procurable, you go where good vaudeville is always played. If you want to buy diamond you don't go to the store that sells only rhinestones, if you want to buy a Howard watch you don't allow a dealer to palm off an Ingersoll watch on you. s. z. Poli is the only manager in Connecticut who is an officer of the United Booking Offices of America and he is like wise the only manager in Connec- tcut booking acts through that office.
 The United Booking Offices only execute contracts with acts of known quality and good acts book only through the United.
 A case in point is the appear ance at Polls this week of McIn- tyre and Heath, the highest salaried "team" playing vaude- vile engagements in the world.
 The salary MT. Poli pays McIn- tyre and Heath for twelve perfor- mances at PeE's Theatre in this city this week amounts to more than the combined salaries of all the vaudeville acts that will play all other vaudeville houses in this city both this week and next.
 The salary list of the entire bill at Polls this week amounts in the aggregate to twice what the ag- gregate salaries of all other acts for the next three weeks will be paid in this city.
 When you stop to figure this out just remember that MT. Poli pays acts what thy are worth and this being so you are offered some mighty fine vaudeville at Po1i popular prices.
 How many seats would you like reserved for this week?

Samuel Wilson Sustains Very
Serious Injuries.
RIGHT ARM AMPUTATED
Had Been Severed Below the
Elbow and Badly Fractured
Above AS Result of Accident
in the Bison Rolling Mill, Near
Wilton Springs.

Hulled against and wound about
the rapidly revolving shafting in the
Bison Rolling Mill, opposite the river
from Wilton Springs, Samuel Wilson,
one of the best known merchants and
prosperous citizens Of that section was
terribly mangled Friday afternoon,
losing an arm and suffering other in
juries. His suffering was intense and
he was forced to do without the assist
ance of physicians fer more than two
hours.
All the time of the accident Mr.. Will
son was endeavoring to place belt on
the shafting. In some manner his
arm became fastened and in an instant
he was jerked to the shafting and
hurled around it, and when he dropp-
ed to the floor, his right arm had been
completely severed just below the ell
bow. He also suffered numerous
bruises about the body and head, and
may have sustained internal injuries,
which could not be determined on
first examination.
Word was sent to Newport as soon
as possible, but it was two hours be-
fore medical assistance was received,
Drs. Delozier, Bingham and Snoddy
answering the call. Upon arrival of
the physicians, the arm was amputat-
ed above the fractures. From last re-
ports the injured man was doing better
than had been expected and he had
stood the shock exceedingly WE'LL
Mr.. Wilson is probably as widely
known as any man in the Cosby coun-
try. Not only is he the proprietor of
the Bison Roller Mill, but conducts
two stores, one at the mill and the
other on Cosby.

Revenue Officers Visit Ravens
Branch Sunday.
TWO men UNDER ARREST
1t is Claimed That Ike and Abe
Rollins Own Up to the Opera
ton of a Still, Two Miles From
Hartford, and Supply of Malt
is Found.

Deputy Collector d. S. Bowers and
Revenue Agents G.. M. Williams and
Brown Seaton made a raid Saturday
night which resulted in the arrest of
Abe and l. M. Rollins at Ravens
Branch, and the destruction of con-
siderable moonshine essentials.
The officers left Newport immed-
lately after train No. 102 had run.
They drove to McGhee's Ford, just
below Bluffton and made the remain
er of the trip on foot. 1t was a good
seven mile hike, and the officers went
to the home of Ike Rollins and found
him in bed.
1t is said that Ike confessed to the
operation of the still and later Abe
owned up to working about it, but
denied any official connection with
same.
After being arrested the boys were
walked to McGhee's Ford where the
team had been held in waiting and
arrived back in Newport nearly "a
bours after their departure from here.
The two Rollins boys were taken be-
fore U. S. Commissioner Minis and
after being given a hearing were held
under bond for the United States
court.
According to the testimony of Col
lector Bowers before the commission
ers, the still was found on mountain
land owned by the Tannery company.
Ike confessed to having run the still
for little over a month and said he
had purchased it in North Carolina.

HURT
IN EXPLOSION
Threshing Machine Engine En-
plodes Near Ottinger's Store.
One MAN FATALLY HURT
John Kyker, Roy Boyles and
Horace Cooper. Are Terribly
Scalded in An Explosion of a
Boiler While Threshing Wheat
on Bacon Farm.

One man was fatally and two SER
iously injured through the explosion of
the boiler of a threshing machine en-
gine on a farm near the store of G. H..
Ottinger last Friday.
The injured:
JOHN KYKER, fatally.
ROY BOYLES.
HORACE COOPER.
While at work on the Bacon farm,
just at the Greene county line, the
boiler of the engine exploded, sending
scalding water over the three men, all
receiving terrible wounds.
When Kyker's clothing was taken
from him the skin came off from his
face to his lower limbs, and very little
hope of his recovery is given. The
other men also sustained serious burns
but it is not expected that their in
juries will prove fatal.

Plenty of Rain in County Dur
ing Past Week.
THE CORN MAY Be, SAVED
English Creek on Rampage as
, the Result of Hardest Rain
Seen in That Section in at
Least Twenty Years. = Many
Fences Destroyed.

The drouth, so far as Cooke county
is concerned, is broken. Since last
Wednesday there has been dozen
hard storms in the county, some
bringing welcome relief to some sect
ions and others relief TO some section
missed by the first, and practically
every spot in the county has had
some relief. This means that the corn
crop, which was in great danger, will
not be hurt as bad as first Indications
showed.
There was heavy rain on English
Creek Saturday and considerable dam
age was done by the water. Old resi-
dents say it was the hardest rain in
that section in twenty years. Bridges,
which never before had been touched
by The high water, were washed away.
Blackmon Sisk sustained consider
able damage when the logs in coming
down the creek tore through his wire
fence, tearing it loose and wrapping it
around other obstacles.
Corn was torn down and the damage
was considerable at some points.
|. Some damage was done to the road
work-there were washouts and the
road leading by Dave Stokely's was in
such shape that the rural carrier was
unable to make his trip Monday, the
accustomed way, and was forced to
take roundabout way.

Cooke County Getting Value
for Every Dollar Spent.
GOOD ROADS TRAIN HERE
Nice Crowd Sees the Exhibits
and Then the Government
Road Experts Are Taken on
an Inspection Tour of the
County's Roads.

The Good Roads Train and Road
Improvement Exhibits of the South
ern Railway spent Saturday in New
port. The train was greeted by a
crowd estimated from three to five
hundred people, and those present
seemed to take deep interest in the
lectures and exhibits.
The special train consisted Of three
cars-one exhibit car, one lecture car
and private Pullman car. w. J..
Hurlbut, agen. of the Land and In
dustrial Department of the Southern
Raj way; T. B. Thackston, agent Of
the Land and Industrial Department
of the Southern Railway, and III. S.
Fairbanks and l.. E. Boykin, Engi-
neers of the office of Public Roads,
composed the party.
Immediately upon arrival here,
the lecture car was thrown open and
as fast as it was filled Mr.. Boykin ex-
planned the illustrated views which
showed the difference between the
good and bad roads. The speaker
made good use of every minute of his
time and the lectures were appreciated
by all present. The pictures did not
show any scenes new to Newport,
The people of this county have seen
every kind of bad road that has ever
existed, but the pictures did show how
tho bad roads could be converted into
good roads.
After the lectures, the Pike Com
mission, through the kindness of
Messrs. ]. M. Masters and G. F. Smith
were able to convey the engineers over
some of the work in automobiles.
Photographs were taken of the various
scenes and the work thoroughly ex.
Amined.
In speaking of his trip Engineer H
g. Fairbanks stated that the money
Cooke county has expended had been
well spent. He said that the methods
of construction were In accord with
the best methods of road construction
throughout the country. He stated
that he had found that the county was
keeping an accurate account of the
costs of every expenditure and that the
work was being done under proper
supervision with an inspector for each
section of road, which is the system
adopted in States furtherest advanced
in road construction.
Mr.. Fairbanks stated that the county
had received good value for the money
expended, which he stated he under
stood was less than S125,0OO, and still
the county had ten miles of macadan
on its forty miles of graded road. III,
stated that the engineer and the pix
commission had made an especiall,
good showing with the money in view
OF the fact that much of the grad
work had been through rock. HI
stated that he had gone over the speci
fications of the engineer, had founC
them in fine shape, and that the, re
cords were SO kept that he was EN-
abled to tell the actual cost of an,
piece of work on the specification ant
that the engineer could tell at al
times just how much money was be
ing expended and could with thi
knowledge cut down theexpenses. HI
stated that he had looked over tn
figures for one of the county's cornplel
ed miles and this had shown that
had been completed at cost of les
than $4,000 which, he said, was an eS
ceptionally low figaro considering tn
nature Of the country.

CROSSES OCEAN
ON CATTLE ship
Alfred Minis Home From An
Eventful Trip.
WORKED HIS WAY OVER

Absence of Seven Weeks-Has
Enjoyable Time.
Alfred Minis, youngest son of d. A.
Minis, Is back from London, Paris and
other European points, after an event
full trip over the ocean aboard cattle
ship.
Young Minis left home on the 18th
day of May without acquainting his
friends of his destination. He landed
in Washington the following day ami
went straight forth to Baltimore where
he learned that the cattle ship "Ulster-
more" would sail a short time later.
He was able to secure place with ths
crew of the ship, and occupied the
position of night watchman on the
thirteen day voyage. He says that he
did not get sick, and that the fare was
especially good. He had planned to
rough it, not only in bodily comfort
but had expected the table very poor
one, and was therefore pleased with
the living offered.
There were 43S head of cattle on ths
ship and the crew was short two or
three men, yet the trip was not marred
by any accidents although he reports
having witnessed the spectacle of q
burial at sea, as an invalid taken on ct
Baltimore expired on the high seas,
was properly weighted and after being
sewed in sack was thrown overheard.
After twelve days out, the ship put
into port at Liverpool, and here young
Minis spent the first three days looking
over the sights. He next went 70
London, which is something like 200
miles away and there he remained un-
til June eighteenth just four days
previous TO the coronation. He did
not stay for the big show, as the town
was filling up so fast, that there weTe
several prices offered for all lodging
places, and fearing the crush to get
back to America Immediately af.er-
wards he decided to go to Liverpeel
and be ready to sail immediately after
the coronation. He was able to see tho
beautiful decorations and all tho
preparations had been completed.
when he left. Before going to Liver
pool he made trip to Paris, spending
three days in that city and came homs
enthusiastic about the Eiffel tower Of
that city. He was also impressed at
the manner in which the people Of
that section devoured their strong
drink in places, no matter how public.
He returned home on the 'Sultic,"
arriving in New York, July 2, and did
not quit that city until Thursday Of
last week, stopping off at Washington
for,two days on the return trip.
The trip was novel one to young
Minis. He suffered no inconvenience
other than that from close association
with cattle for two weeks. He was
enthusiastic about London, saw prac-
tically all OF the big show places, tax
ing advantage of the guides which
enable the visitor to see the great city
without assistance. He visited the
Piccadilly Circus, theI Houses of Par
! lament, Westminster Abbey, iSt.
Pauls, the Bank of England, tho
parks, and in fact practically every
point of interest of which he had read
His trip home aboard The Sultic, was
an enjoyable one, and as he was abis
to witness series of base ball games
in New York, before coming back
toward the Southland, he arrived
home much benefited in knowledge
and health as result Of his travels.
