Coast waited to hear no more. Dumb
with rage-to be so tricked and bam-
boozled! to have his teeth drawn in
such manner, by blind man, almost
without struggle!-he stopped,
picked up a heavy monkey-wrench,
and threw himself at Blackstock.
Before he had covered half the
scant distance between them, however,
he was caught up suddenly from be-
hind, jerked back and held, struggling,
kicking, helpless as a child In the
arms of Chang.
AS If he were wholly unaware OF
what was taking place, Blackstock's 8

CHAPTER XVII.

To his own advantage Coast was
gifted with the ability to recognize
the irremediable and concede II as
such. With quiet resolution he calmed
himself at that moment when he was
cold with despair, thrilled with appre-
hension, hot with anger, trembling
with humiliation, and powerless in the
grasp of one TO whom his most de-
termined struggles were as impotent
as the writhing of the butterfly whose
wings you imprison between thumb
and forefinger. The arms of the big
Chinaman wound round him were as
sinewy and long as those of a gorilla,
as strong as bands of steel; he could
as readily break their embrace as he
could summon a jinnee to his aid by
twisting the ring upon his finger.
He schooled himself to resignation.
Very well" he said In a passionless
voice. You've got your own way OF
making a civil request, and | don't
pretend TO ike It; but I'll be grateful If
you'll instruct this Chinese giant to let

without a word the Chinaman
dropped his arms and stepped aside.
His face. when Coast saw II, was as
stolid as always; only the yellow eyes,
glinting like a cats through their
heavy. hslf.closed lids. seemed to hold
= hint Of derision.
Coast lifted his shoulders In a shrug
rot OF bravado but Of endurance,
turned to the TOOL bench by the motor
and replaced the wrench. Ills
thoughts were all confusion; again an
incident Knocked him with hidden
meaning. What was he TO understand
that Blackstock recognized his voice
and knew him for himself, Garrett
Coast? That he suspected him Of be-
ing another than Handyside-a spy OF
the Treasury Department, in short
and had determined 10 disarm him as

Winnipeg, Man.-After a day of
thunder storms and high winds. a
terrific tornado struck Regina, Sask.,
at p. NJ, Sunday, demolishing many
buildings and taking hundreds OF
, ives.
Ii seems certain that the casualties
will roll up total Of between 400
aud 500 and that the property loss
could hardly be under 100000.
The confusion was such that TO de-
.ermine the number OF fatalities was
out of the question. Every ambulance
in the city was worked 10 its limit
carrying the bodies OF the killed and
the scores of injured persons TO the
hospitals. which were filled early In
/ he evening, and TO a number OF inn

ger buildings left standing Volunteers

! short time before had completed the
work of decking itself in gala attire
| for the celebration OF Dominion Day.
Bunting and fags covered buildings
everywhere and networks OF colored
electrict lights were strung and ready
| for illumination.
Through these gaily decorated
streets the tornado swept and within
o half hour REGINA had been turAed
into a city OF mourning. In the track
OF the storm building after building
lay in ruins, swathed In it's shroud of
| gay colored bunting
Coming up from the south, the tor

THE WlscAssET RALLY.

Wiscasset, Me, Aug. 9.-(SpeeiaD. :.
The very atmosphere of this historic
old shire town was permeated with
Republican enthusiasm, today, when
the Republican nominees on the coun-
ty ticket entertained with a dinner
and general reception. The chairman
and secretaries of all town commit
tees were the special guests of honor
and in addition to these there We're
leading party workers from all sec
tions of the country. Good reports
we're brought in from every town ana
il was generally considered that there
is the brightest outlook for Republi
can success that has been noted here,
for years.
The Republican nominee for Gov
ernor, Hon. VIM. T. Haines of Water
Vile. was present, as was also Elk
Gov. Edwin C. Burleigh, the Republi-
can nominee for United States sena-
tor, who motored over just TO meet
the people. Both were given tremend-
Gus ovations. In fact, State Chairman
Philbrook was highly enthusiastic
over the general condition and the
attitude of the voters. Hon. VIM. h.
SHELTON of Lewiston, the End Dis
trict's nominee for representative to
Congress, delivered the principal ad-
dress and was frequently interrupted
by the applause of his auditors.
The affair was gotten up by the Re-
publican county nominees, under the
IF Lob
Glidden of Newcastle. nominee for
State senator, and George A. Cowan
of Damariscotta. nominee for county
attorney The program included a
meeting at Red Mems hall. with over
100 present, which was followed by a
dinner at the Albee house, at when
there We're so guests. The spirit OF
harmony was everywhere manifested
There were to be seen many of thu
old time workers and also many new
faces but all had one common cause
down deep in their hearts. the over
throw of the present administration
and the redemption of the Republican
party in old Lincoln.
| Among the old timers. who were
| present was o. p. Brand of Somer-
| vile. aged 70, who has never missef
| voting the Republican ticket in State
| or national elections since the clost
of the civil War. He was also one o.
| the most enthusiastic guests of th'
entire day and when he boarded tbs
