CHAPTER xxx.

Ask the sentinel at the door" said
BrOckett, after the prisoners had been
shown into the rude but comfortable hut,
lighted with whole rows of candles, 'if
he can get q needle and some strong
thread. Tell him I want to do some re-
pairing on my clothes-they need 1t
badly"
The puzzled Cuban executed the COM
mission, and the sentry, an obliging, jov-
ial fellow, soon brought in a heavy needle
and some twine. Brockett, seating him
self where the light was brightest, then
produced an old ball, bearing evidence
of many vigorous swat upon its horse
hide cover, and calmly proceeded TO dis
sect the sphere. while Solano looked on
In mystification.
Going to stuff the hall with dynamite,
and then bat it TO Capt. Torrejon?' he
asked, with a forced chucllle. Brockett
smiled frankly and evidently with self
confidence and full renewal OF courage.
Not exactly, Ramon" he replied.
I'm going to stun it with something
valuable, though. Watch and see."
Deity the boy extracted some folded
letters from the inner pockets of his
clothing. AS deftly he crumpled them,
wound them round the rubber center Of
the ball and pressed them into spheroid
shape. Some of the yarn from the ball
was then wound round the bundle, and
cover. This was a long and tedious
task. but was completed in perhaps forty
minutes, when the ball, to all outward
appearances. was again nothing but a
worn and battered veteran OF big league
battles.
That ball. said Brockett, surveying
his handiwork with justlfiable pride,
contains the entire packet of letters TO
Gomez Estral, and the envelopes now
contain sundry wholly harmless letter

DURBAR AILMENTS
SPARE ONLY KING
Returning Visitors Are Wrathy
Over Wretched Accommoda-
tons at Delhi.

London, Jan. 2s.-Visitors to the coro-
nation dubar at Delhi, who are return
ing now by every boat, are full OF rheu-
mausm. fever, and complaints about the
accommodations in the camps provided
for them. Hardly a single person. except
the King and Queen themselves. escaped
sickness.
The fact is, the ground on which the
great durbar camp was pitched was un-
der three feet Of water for months before
hand. and was consequently a hotbed
OF fever and rheumatism. To insure the
safety OF the King and Queen, the foun-
dation OF their tent was dug out to a
depth OF a great many feet and then
filled with concrete. The greatest anxiety
was felt for the Kings health. as he is
far from strong, but he has come through
the ordeal well. as have the immediate
members OF his suite who shared his
accommodations.
Not so the rank and file Of visitors,
who suffered severely. One visitor. Capt.
Spender Clay, son-in-law of William
Waldorf Astor. developed fever so badly
that at one time his life was in great
danger, and he is still lying in India, un-
able to be moved.
But Stonor. the ancestral home OF the
Camoys, Is let to the Hon. Mrs. Henry
Coventry. formerly Miss Edith Kip, Of
New York, who before her English mar
riage was the wife of Richard McCreary.
The Coventry lease does not expire for
nearly two years. and Mrs. Coventry
absolutely refuses to vacate the house
earlier than this. OF course. she is per-
fectly within her rights in doing so. and
her agents declare she is obdurate on
the subject. All the same, Lady Camoys
thinks that she, as a young bride and a
stranger in England. has some rights
in the home OF her new family, and says
II is hard she should be kept out OF II by
a fellow-countTywoman
Lord Camoys intends entering British
politics as soon as he is settled down.

qualities in a subject that makes him a

feeling of confidence in his own powers
that comes from skilled handwork. The
Emperor is a bookbinder. Among the
Emperor's fine collection Of bindings are
