suds with which Noa Noah had gargled
his throat.
The house boys were directed to fetch
handouts. and. one by one. the Lunga
runnways were hauled down out Of
their trees and made fast. Sheldon
ironed them in pairs and ran steel
chain through the links of the irons.
Gogoomy was given lecture for bis
mutinous conduct and locked up for the
afternoon. Then Sheldon rewarded the
holiday, and when they had with
drawn from the compound permitted
the Port Adams men to descend from
the trees. And all afternoon he and
Joan loafed in the cool of the veranda
and watched them diving down and
nmptying their sunken canoes of the
land and rocks. 1t was twilight when
tley embarked and padded away with
few broken paddles. A breeze had
sprung up, and the Flibberty Gibbet
had already sailed for Lunga to return
the runaways.
Sheldon was back in the plantation
experimenting the building of bridge
when the schooner Malakula ran In
close and dropped anchor. Joan watch

came ashore.
They seemed awkward and constrain-

one and then the other looking at her
with secret curiosity. She felt that
they were weighing her. appraising ner.
and for the first time the anomalous
position she occupied on Berande sank
sharply home to her. On the other
hand, they puzzled her.
The elder one. Morgan. was huge
man. bronzed and mustached. with a
deep bass voice and an almost gutteral
speech. and the other. Raft. was slight
and effeminate. with nervous hands
and watery washed out gray eyes.
She watched Sheldon closely when
he arrived and OWNED that he was not
particularly delighted to see them. But
see them he must, and so pressing was
the need that he led the two men into
the stuffy Office. Later in the afternoon
she asked Lalaperu where they had
gone.

Two negro women passing by the

KENTUCKY DERBY WON

LouisIlla, Ky, May 1l.-Worth

SOnado and Guaranola also ran.
Patruche and the Manager were
scratched early in the day on ac-
count of a muddy track.
At the rise of the barrier the
horses got off to a good start with
Worth in front, and he was never
headed, winning with perfect ease
by half a length. pulled up. Flam-
ma ran last all the way, and came
with a grand rush in the stretch
but could not beat Duvall for sec
ond money. Wheelright quit early
in the game and Free Lance,
much touted horse, blew up after
going mile in one of the hottest
PAGES that had been set for him this
year. The other horses were not
contenders.
The mutuels paid Worth $3.50,
$3.50 and $3.50; Duvall, $14 and
$50; Flamma, $3.50.
The distance was IL miles and
the purse was worth about $4,000
to the winner.
The muddy condition of the
track caused Major Thomas c. Nc
Dowell to withdraw the Manager
from the race and the meeting be-
tween the Manager and Worth,
which had been looked forward to
with the keenest anticipation by
turf enthusiasts, thus fell through
at the last moment.
The Manager was in excellent
condition, according to those who
had watched his work in the past
few days. He and Worth have new
err met and the question of suprem-
acy had been much debated.
Major Mcdowell did not think |
there was any chance of the Mana
ger showing his true form against |
Worth in the sticky going, as the
Manager had never seemed able |
TO untrack himself in the mud,
while Worth is at home on any
kind of a track.

TO TRULY BE FOR a MAN
rs TO WANT HIM TO WIN

Responding to a demand that
swept over the State like tidal
wave, Gov. McCreary has come
out in a two-column statement, de-
claring for Champ Clark for Presi-
dent.
On the burning issue of whether
Kentucky shall instruct it's dele
gates, his card is evasive and I'M
satisfactory to both sides. If the
Governor is heartily and sincerely
for Clark, it is quite impossible to
understand why he should oppose
the delegates being instructed for
his man. To be for a man is to
want him to win. aud the way for
him to win is for, the convention to
instruct for him. Russellville

DAVIESS COUNTY SWEPT
BY DESTRUCTIVE STORM
Much Damage Was Done in
0WensbJiO ard Surround
N Country.

OweIsOoro, Ky. May 11.-One
of the hardest wind storms in re-
cent years visited Greensboro and
Daviess county this afternoon, do
ing damage that will amount to
several thousand dollars. The roof
of the grandstand at Southside ball
park was blown off, the stand hav-
ing been vacated only a few min
utes previous to the storm. The
players were under the grandstand
when the crashing of timbers began
and all of them sought safety in
the center field. A handsome art
church was blown into the church,
over the balcony railing and crash
ed to pieces on the floor. The win
dow was valued at $1,000. Nearly
100 barns were more or less wreck
ed in the county and in many in
stances dwelling houses were I'M
rooted. In the Habit vicinity a
door which had been nailed up for
the past fourteen years, was blown
from its hinges. The bed in the
room from which the door was
blown was whirled out by the
wind and scattered in all direc-
tions. -... ysr-S
Handsome trees In the court
house yard were uprooted and bro
ken. A buggy on one of the prin-
cipal streets was caught by the
wind and carried for seventy feet
and broken against a telephone
pole.
Great damage resulted to the
telephone and telegraph wires
throughout the county. Allan
Reid, a prominent farmer. was on
his way to collect insurance on a
barn that was blown down a month
ago, when the wind struck another
barn on his farm and demolished
It. His son and two of the ten
ants were fleeing from the barn
when it was destroyed. A small
sized panic prevailed at the carni-
val, which was being held in Ow-
ensboro, and the show animals be-
came unruly, their frightened cries
adding to the general terror.

ELECTROCUTED BY STORM
WHILE TURNING ON LIGHT

Middlesboro, KY, May 111AT.
Smith, member of the Town
Council and a leading business
man, was electrocuted during the
electric storm here tonight. When
found, Smith had evidently been
dead for some minutes. His atti-
tude indicated that he had been en-
gagged in an effort to turn out the
electric light in a rear room of his
drug store when overtaken by
death. 1t is supposed that the cleo
trio light wire had become super
charged with electricity from the
clouds. Smiths thumb and fingers,
where he had grasped the screw of
the electric light bulb, were blue
and scared.
