TT was long after midnight when Kent sug-
gested that he escort Miss Wayland to
the Shoreham. SWart announced his in
tention of making search of the grounds in
hope of finding some of the missing articles.
The Inspector said that he would spend the
night in the house. The old lady rose and
took Kent's arm without a word. Outside,
however, she turned to him.

"No; they were from your waste basket"
"You know that? Perhaps you know
what has become of the ones that were taken

There was long silence between them;
then Miss Wayland said abruptly:
"You know the saving that there's no fool
like an old fool"
"A silly calumny on old age" said Kent
gravely.
"No; it's true" she pursued in strangely
subdued tone. The hand on Kent's arm
shook little. "My friend" said the old
lady, "there were letters in that drawer, very
old letters, faded-hke myself"
Kent's hand fell. warm and strong upon
hers any word of honor that they will
come safely back to you!' he said.
Whereupon curiosity rose dominant again
in Miss Wayland's mobile mind. "Now,
how can YOU be sure of that, I'd like to
know?' she cried.
But Chester Kent, bidding her goodnight,
only smiled gently as he turned away.

over to the nearest window. Hello. Here's

turned with a double handful of crumpled
papers. They were spotted with light rain
that had begun to fall.

asked the Inspector.
"No; there seems to be nothing but let

asked Swart anxiousfy.
The old lady shook her head. Watching
her from the corner of his eye, Kent noted an
expression of increasing bewilderment on
her shrewd old face as she ran over the recov-
cred papers. But, beyond half suppressed
sniff or two, she kept her views to herself.

Y ork to Jacksonville, where they were trans
ferred to two express cars without any at
tempt at concealment.
A dav or two before they arrived there
General Miguel Betancourt "a veteran of the
Ten Years War who was to command the
landing party, General Frevre Andrade
(afterward a member of President Palma S
Cabinet and more recently Speaker of the
House in the Cuban Congress, of which
he was one of the dominant figures, who
was to accompany him, General Nuflez, DR..
Castillo, Cartaya, and | started south from
New York. We were trailed by dozen de-
tectives, and for their benefit we first went
to Savannah, as though trying to dodge
them and then to Charleston, where we re-
peated the bluff of using the Commodore,
which was still lying in the harbor under
guard of revenue cutter.
While the sleuths had their eyes on the
Commodore, which was getting steam up
and sending black smoke streaming out OF
her stack in a way that would have been
criminally careless under other conditions,
we slipped away to Jacksonville, where Fritot
had made arrangements for us to continue
our journey in style. The private car of
7. R. Parrott vice president and general
manager of the Florida East Coast Railway,
had been placed at our disposal, with an en-
CINE, and the special train was waiting for us.
Mr.. Parrott was unable to accompany us;
but he sent his general superintendent, R. T.
Golf, to make it appear that few OF his
friends were going down the line on an in
Spectlon trip.
Fredericks rode with us; but it was not
long until several members of the party
wished it had been possible for him to make
the trip BY some other route. He carried
shabby old valise, to which none of us had
previously paid any attention; but it seemed
so much out of place in the handsomely ap-
pointed private car that everyone took a
good natured kick at it. Fredericks laughed
SO loudly as he saw it being knocked around
that someone finally asked him what it con-
tanned.
Nothing but illuminate of mercury deto-
nators," he replied.
"What are they for?"
"To set off the shells from the big gun"
"Are they more explosive than dynamite!"
"Only ten or twenty times as much So"
This startling information put the laugh
on us, much to the enjoyment of the dia
bolical Fredericks, and the first man who
regained the use of his legs tenderly de-
posted the reverently respected gripsack in
stateroom and locked the door. That was
one of the times when Providence was kind to
us. 1t seemed miracle that illuminate of

mercury could be subjected to such brutality
without exploding, and there was enough of
it in the valiSe to have blown all of us to bits.
The fact that we ran q special and that
the train as it left Jacksonville consisted only
of the engine and PARROTS car, prevented
any inquisitive persons from surreptitiously
accompanying us. and there was no train on
which they could follow us until the next
day. A short distance below the city we
picked up the two carloads of arms and am
munition, which had been run down and
placed on an obscure sidetrack, and at New
Smyrna we added two day coaches Contain
ing seventv-five Cubans. who had been
brought over from Tampa on special train.
At Palm Beach. which was deserted at that
time of year, the train was run out on the
Florida East Coast pier alongside the
Dauntless, which was waiting for us. 1t
was an easy matter to get the cargo aboard
her, and she was steaming toward Cuba in
a few hours
NUNEZ and | were barred from accom-
panying her by a ruse of the Spanish
Minister at Washington, who, having be-
come suspicious that another expedition
was under way, had the filibustering charge
against us, growing out of our trip with the
Bermuda, moved up on the docket and set
for trial within few days. Consequently,
DR.. Castillo took charge of the expedition,
and Captain W. H. Lewis, of the Three
Friends, went in command of the Dauntless.
The expedition was landed on the night of
October 26 at the mouth of the San Juan
River, fifteen miles east of Cienfuegos. As
it was being unloaded little Spanish gun
boat went by, close inshore; but she failed
to notice the Dauntless. General Betan-
court was SO slow in getting the arms back
into the bush that a large part of them were
lost. They were left lying around the beach
for four days, with the natural result that
they were discovered by passing warship
and captured. The dynamite gun was saved
largely through the energy Of the untamed
Fredericks; but half of the rifles and car
tridges fell into the hands of the enemy.
General Gomez was SO enraged by this un
necessary loss of arms, which were badly
needed, that he threatened to have General
Betancourt shot, and probably would have
done so but for his good record in the pre-
vious revolution. Betancourt subsequently
committed suicide, and it was believed that
his self destruction was due, in some degree,
to worry and remorse over this incident
The sixth instalment of these excerpts from
Captain o Brien's historical records as prepared
by Horace Smith, which will appear next Sun
day, will be largely devoted to that intrepid
flibuster. Mike Walsh.

The day that Mary Burt became a

were assembled In the prison chapel,

some OF which had been procured from
friends without by the convicts.
When all were seated Mary and the

Something New in Education.

| Educators hail with interest the APP
pearance of the book just published,
"The Montessori Method" by DIR. Maria
Montessori, 1.-THE noted Italian educator.
The work of Dr. Montessori is remark
able in that it is the only example OF
an educational system worked out and
inaugurated by the constructive effort
of woman. The system deals with the
education of young children. 1t embod-
les the most adaptable features proposed
in the theories of Pestalozzi and Froebel
and applied by Seguin, DIR. Fernald Of
Massachusetts, and others. Dr. Monies
sori is the first educator to produce a
system of education that combines vari-
Gus psyeho-physical processes recognized
by modern students in educational psy.
chology. Educators interested i'm the
study of methods in early education will
welcome an opportunity to study the
Montessori system in comparison with
other programs.
The Montessori method compared with
the Kindergarten carries out far more
radically the principle of unrestricted
liberty; it involves less group teaching
and more individual training; its materi-
ais are intended for the direct and FORM
al training of the senses; it includes
that will aid in the physical
education of children; its social training
carries out actual social activities; and
it affords direct preparation for the
school arts. In none of these features,
however, are the two systems rigidly
The broad contrast be-
tween a Montessori school and kinder
gsrten, according to Prof. Holmes of
Harvard university, is that whereas the
Nontessori children spend almost all
their time handling things. largely ae-
cording to their individual inclination
and under individual guidance, kinder
garten children are generally engaged in
group work and games with an magma
tive background appeal.
1t should interest Vermont educators
that an opportunity to study and exam
me the Montessori method will be af-
iorded this summer. The department of
at Aliddlebury college has pur-
'hased. at cost of $50. a set of the
Nonessori didactic materials that are
Ise1 wherever the Montessori method is
employed. At the summer session of
he college, not only may the book and
he didactic materials be examined. bur.

Mcfarland, director of the session. an
attempt will be made to submit the
dontessori method TO careful COMPETE

Ogdensburg, n. y, July l.--Great has
been the excitement in the little Indian

Lola is described as a bright, pretty
