In Which Captain Eben Makes Port.
Half past eight. In the vestry Of the
Regular church John Ellery was con-
Quoting his prayer meeting. The at

seats, however, were vacant, and along
the settees people were wondering
where Captain Elkanah Daniels and
his daughter might be. They had not
missed service for many day And
where was Keziah Coffin?

In the Regular parsonage Keziah
sat alone by the sitting-room table.
Prayer meeting and supper she had
forgotten entirely. The minister had
not come home for his evening meal,
and food was furthest from the house

As she went, she beckoned TO DR..

later.

the moment their secret became
| known?
She rose and again donned her bon
net and shawl She was about to
blow out the lamp when she heard
rapid footsteps, the sound of some
one running along the sidewalk
in front Of the house. AS she listened,
the footsteps sounded on the path.
Whoever the runner was he was COM
ing to the parsonage. She stepped
to the door and opened 1t.
The runner was a boy, Maria Hig-
gins boy Isaac, whose widowed moth
er lived down by the shore. He did
the chores at the Hammond tavern.
His freckled face was dripping with
perspiration and he pulled and blew
like a stranded whale.

poor girl must be distracted already.
I'll go to her. You get Dr. Parker and
tell him to hurry"
'I'll tell him; don't you fret"
He was gone, running harder than
ever. A moment later Keziah fol-
lowed him, running also.
As she ran on, a rattle Of wheels
and the thud Of hoofs came from be-
hind her Then a rocking chaise,
drawn by galloping horse, shot by
DR.. Parker's carriage, she was sure.
The Higgins boy must have met the
doctor and delivered his message.
The horse and chaise were standing
by the front gate of the tavern as she
pantingly drew near it. The side door
of the house was ajar and she opened
1t softly and entered. The dining
room was empty. There was light
on the sitting-room table and low
voices came from the little bedroom
adjoining Then, from the bedroom,
emerged DR.. Parker and Grace Van
Horne. The girl was white and there
were dark circles under her eyes. The
doctor was very grave.

nized her, and with a cry ran toward

BOVILL BOY BUNCOED
SHOSHONE SLEUTHS

WALLACE, Aug 5.-The honor OF
convicted men, in which many noted
sociologists are inclined to pin faith
was dropped a notch in the opinion
of local officers when "Curley" Hens
ley of Bovill, played upon the sym
pathy and confidence of Sheriff
Michael Maher and his deputies.
More than month ago Hensley
was tried In the court of Judge Steele
of Moscow, for selling liquor without
a license. He was found guilty and
because of the unsafe condition of the
Moscow Jail was brought here.
He completed his 35-day sentence
yesterday From the Jail he walked
at once to the sheriff's office and re-
quested money enough to take him
back to his home county where he
said he could get work as a carpenter.
Lacking the authority to use county
for this purpose, the sheriff
and two Of his deputies took the 81
necessary to buy the ticket from their
own pockets.
One of them then went with the
young Bovill man to the depot to
purchase the ticket There it was
found that the ticket would have to
be purchased in two pieces. One
piece costing 1925 would take him to
ST. Maries and a ticket costing $1.25
would carry him to the end of his re-

MEXICAN RAISES
LARGEST FAMILY

| AUSTIN, Texas, Aug. 5.-Further
| substantiation of the report that re-
Gently came from Tuxpan, Mexico, of
| the death at that place to Jose Cal
varia at an age lacking only fifteen
year of the two-century mark, was
contained in a letter received here to-
| day from Frank L. Watson, an Ameri-
can mining man of Colima, Mexico.
| Il was at Tuxpan on the day Calvar-
| 10 died." he writes. 81 had seen the
| the town many times, and he was often
pointed out to me as being nearly 200
years old. So interested were the
state officials in the report of the
commission was appointed to in
vestigate the claim. The records of
the parish church show that he was
born in 1927. He left several thou
sand descendants. He often told his
friends in joking manner that he had
the largest family of any man in the
world No one knows how many times
he was married, but it is commonly
reported that he took his last wife
when he was past the age of $50 years
and that he had several children by
her.
"Calvario was an Aztec Indian. His
rules of living were simple; in fact, he
observed no set rules. He ate whatever
he liked, but his poverty prevented
him from faring very sumptuously. He
was a moderate drinker of native
liquors for 1855 years, according to his
own statement made many times to
friends, and his memory did not go
back to the time when he began smok-
ing the Mexican handmade cigarette.
This Methuselah of modern times
was the walking historian for this part
of Mexico, covering the period of his
long life. He was born and lived
within the shadow of Mount Colima
volcano. He was a witness to the de-
struction of Tuxpan by an earthquake

pot the sheriff soon after learned that

OPERA BOUFFE STAGED

From theatrical standpoint the per-
the most delightful of stage comedies.
Naturally it had a revolutionary set
ting, or at least those who were made
the victims of the plot thought rebels
were behind the hold-up scheme.
No stage or train robbery in the
palmiest days of western road agents
was ever committed with more nom
chalance than that which a party of
seven natives displayed the other day
when they took possession of the town
of Frantera and forced the delivery to
them of $4,000 and large supply
of rifles and ammunition.
Notwithstanding that only two of
these seven bandits were armed, they
wuere in control of the town of $500
persons for several hours. by their
threats of massacreing the populace if
resistance was made they created
reign of terror among the men, wom
en- and children and not a hand was
uplifted to prevent them sacking the
place at their will.
The men who committed this bri-
gandage are typical natives, who came
down from the mountains of the in
terror of the state Of Tabasco for the
special purpose of sacking the town.
They entered the place in the early
hours of the morning, coming down
the Griljalva river in rOw-boats.
