Meanwhile Mr.. Cavsndish. whose
proud spirit never greatly inclined
him to the practice OF peace, had pre-
pared for battle. Springing aioft he
knocked his heels together.
"Whoop! I'm a a as can slide
down q thorny locust and never get
scratched" he shouted. This was
equivalent to setting his triggers;
then he launched himself nimbly and
with enthusiasm into the thick OF the
fight. 1t was Mr.. Bunker's unfortu-
nate privilege to sustain the onslaught
of the Earl of Lambeth.
The light from the Cayendish
hearth continued to brighten the
scene, for Polly was recklessly sac
rificing her best straw tick. Indeed
her behavior was in every way worthy
Of the noble alliance she had formed.
Her cob-pipe was not suffered to go
out and with Comics help she kept
the six small C~avendishes from risk
ing life and limb in the keel boat, to-
ward which they were powerfully
drawn. Despite these activities she
found time to call to Betty and Han
nibal on the cabin roof.
Jump down here; that amt no tit
tin place for you-all to stop in with
them gentlemen fghtin'!"
An instant later Betty and Hanni-
bal stood on the raft with the little
~Cavendishes focking about them. Mr..
Yancy's quest of his newly had taken
an enduring hold on their magma
ton. For weeks It had constituted
their. one vital topic, and the fight be-
came merely a satisfying background
for this interesting restoration.
"Sho', they'd got him! Sho-he
want no bigger than Richard! Shot"
"Oh!" cried Betty, with q fearful
glance toward the keel boat. Cant
you stop them?"
"What fo'2" asked Polly, opening
her black eyes very wide. BLESS yo'
tender heart!-youS don't need to wor-
ry none, we got them strange gentle
men licked like they was a passed. OF
children! Connie, you-all mind that
fre!"
She accurately judged the outcome
of the fight. The boat was little bet
ter than a shambles with the havoc
that had been wrought there when
Yancy and Darlington dropped over
its side to the raft. Cavendish fol-
lowed them, whooping his triumph as
he came.

ing waters grew in the stiffness as
the keel boat drew nearer the hurry
ing yellow food, and the beat of the
Kentucklan's pulse quickened. Would
he find the raft there? He glanced
back over the way they had come.
The dark ranks of the forest walled
off the clearing, but across the water
a dim point of light was visible. He
fixed its position as somewhere near
the head of the bayou. Apparently it
was a lantern, but as he looked a
ruddy glow crept up against the sky
line.
From the bow Bunker had been OBJ
serving this singular phenomenon.
Suddenly he bent and reused Slos-
son, who had fallen asleep. The tav-
| ~ern-keeper sprang to his feet and
Bunker pointed without speaking.
"Mebby you can tell me what that
light back yonder means?" cried Slos-
son, addressing himself to Caring
ton; as he spoke he snatched up his
| rifle.
That's what I'm trying to make
out" answered Darlington.
HE'LL" cried Slosson, and tossed
his gun to his shoulder.
What seemed to be a breath Of
wind lifted a stray lock of Caring
toms hair, but his pistol answered
Slosson in the same second. He fired
at the huddle of men in the bow OF
the boat and one Of them pitched for
ward with his arms outspread.
Keep back, you'll" he said, and
dropped off the cabin roof.
His promptness had bred a momen-
tary panic, then Slosson's bull-like
voice began to oar commands; but in
that brief instant of surprise and
shock Darlington had found and with
drawn the wooden peg that fastened
the cabin door. He had scarcely done
this when Slosson anne tramping aft
supported by the three men.
Calling to Betty and Hannibal to es-
cape In the skiff which was towing
astern the Kentuckian rushed toward
the bow. At his back he heard the
door creak on it's hinges as it was
pushed open by Betty and the boy,
and again he called to them to escape
by the skiff. The fret of the current

NOT ACCREDITED SCHOOL
State Board Of Education Takes
Away twenty-five Hundred
Dollars From Local High
School.
ITS UP TO GOVERNOR.
He Grants A Hearing for FRIDAY
Morning on Bells Bill-0ther
Matters Considered.

That the Annapolis High School
will be closed. for time, its teach
ing force probably reduced and its
now established efficiency under
three-trustee system greatly ham
pered. is certain should the opponents
of the Bells bill, just passed by the
Legislature. succeed in their efforts
to have Governor Goldsborough Kill
the measure by vetoing it.
This situation was brought TO light
yesterday, when the Board of School
Commissioners for Anne Arundel
county were notified that the State
Board of Education had removed the
local high school from its list of ae-
credited high schools which, under
the general school law of 1910, are
entitled to receive pro rata appro-
priation fro n the State. In the case
of the Annapolis school, the amount
of this State assistance is S2,40G
per year.
The State Board takes the stand
that as the recent decision of the
Court of Appeals in the case of Hen
kel and others against the county
board, declares that the school laws
of 1896 and 1898 were not repealed,
and the Annapolis school is still
under a six-trustee management,
through which the county supe rvision
and control of it's affairs is curtailed
and hampered, this school cannot come
under the general school law whereby
it was certified to the Comptroller as
one of the accredited high schools
entitled to receive its due share ac-
cording to its classification. This
classification was based upon the law
If 1910.
Following the receipt of the State
Boards order taking the Annapolis
school from the list of accredited high
schools, the county board passed q
resolution settling forth these facts
and urging Governor Goldsborough to
grant hearing when the matters may
be set before him, before he deter
| mines to veto the Bells bill. This
hearing was today granted by the
Governor and the arguments will be
laid before him on Friday morning.

Physchic Marvel at The Colonial VIII be
Retained by Popular Demand.

Alel0o and Aletheia who are the head
line attraction at the Colonial will be
held over for the balance of the week.
Alethea's act is by far the most mysti-
flying seen in Annapolis for many a
day. Aletheia answers any question
that you may ask, without the aid of
confederates or mechanical arrange
ments.
Friday, afternoon at go. Alethia
will present matinee for ladies only.
the entire show will be given, with the
change of acts and pictures, but the
audience Will be composed solely of the
feminine sex. No men will be allowed
to enter the theatre at this matinee.
the management feels justified IN re-
tanning Aletheia for the balance Of the
week, as she is without doubt a great
drawing card.
Tuesday night AIetheia answered
questions from the audience, some
were precise and just TO the point,
and were received with much enthu-
siasm. Aletheia CARRIED in a Grecian
costume, with her eyes covered sits in
the center of the stage. Aleko steps
INTO the audience and, selecting per
son at random takes his or her hand
and after the name of the spectator
has been whispered to him, Aleko asks
Aletheia to speak the name. Within
ten seconds she gives the name and
tells the owner his or her thoughts. If
the person is thinking of a question.
she will tell the answer to the question
as well as the question. In not one
case. though the experiment was tried
with large number Of people. did
Aietheia fail to maintain the reputa
ton of the ancient Greek soothsayers.
Ladies bear in mind the special seance
Friday p. NJ, ladies only admitted.
