1t was not the first time that
MacManus had taken the law into
his own hands, and in an instant he
decided that Chunder Sen was right.
The whole thing might turn out to
be a foolish scare; but if he in
formed the authorities it would GER
talnly cause worthy but highly
nervous gentleman to deviate from
plans that were most important to
all Amrakutch that he should carry
out. And even if mischief had been
intended they had secured one man,
and now had warning that would
keep them on the alert. So he sat
down again and selected cigar; for
he had had long day of it, and was
tired.
@Very well, he said, "I'll see into
it later. Tell the police to be on the
lookout. and have the line patroled
all night. Examine all the ap-
proaches yourself at daybreak. Well
leave nothing to chance-though
personally l should say it is some
old fool playing at plots in order to
bring his private grievances to light.
Time enough to send him to be ex-
amined by the magistrate after the
Governor has gone
Knowing the thoroughness with
which Chunder Sen invariably car
ried out all work intrusted to him,
MacManus made no personal sur
vey of the line next morning, nor of
the station. 1t was enough that he
found the line being patroled ac-
cording to orders, when he came
upon the scene, and that Chunder
Sen was experimenting everything
even more busily and fussily than
usual So, MacManus, who was
going to entertain his Excellency
and sundrv guests at tiffin in the big
marquee attached to the temper
airy station, devoted himself to prep
arations for an exceptionally gor-
geous hospitality.
D AM CHUNDRA and his COM
rade sat peacefully in disused
toolhut about one hundred yards up
the line, guarding storage battery.
They had laid insulated wires
underground very skilfully and ex-
peditiously during the night, and
were in position to explode with

line by noW-Or across 1t, so that Il
account for his violent end. Yes, the
fierce question in those intent eyes
had to be answered. His darkened,
puffy lips formed his first words to
them again:
"Good-very good!"

dra took command.
go thou before us down the line,
and we will follow, under thy pro-
lection. We have dynamite in the
bushes here, and we will bring it to
safe place near the station. Come,
Brother!"
THERE were several stunted
bushes within few yards, and
as he approached them a man rose
from their shelter and sped silently
and with such swiftness that the
darkness swallowed him up almost
at once. and made pursuit impos-
sible. They just saw that he was
naked, save for a loincloth; and Lal
Buksh thought he had seen long,
white beard; but he could not be
quite sure. At first Chunder Sen
shook like leaf, and his teeth
chartered with insane fright; but
the other men laughed at him until
he braced himself up to a show of
calmness. 1t was but coolie, they
said, an old coolie who could not
have understood the English they
had been speaking, even had he
been close enough to overhear. Also,
if he was spy, he would give notice
that at this part of the line there
might be danger, and the police
would look. and find a hole, and
no more. Let them look!
Chunder Sen nodded, and hurried
away back toward the station. His
comfort was that in the halfight the
hidden man could not have recog-
nized him or have seen his compan-
ions clearly He found the night
Waterman at the station, and told
him that the two new coolies wait
ing beyond had been taken on to
work there Then he left them, and
walked leisurely in the direction of
his own quarters.
He had to pass the chiefs rough

LEWES.

At a meeting of the Lewes Town
Council delegation presented plea that
work be commenced on the road from
Virginia cottage to the Ocean House on
Bay Avenue.
While sitting on a box in his open
wagon driving a team of horses, Edgar
| Hopkins was thrown from the wagon to
the ground, striking his head and bare
| ly escaping with a broken neck, when
the horses started suddenly. His face
and shoulders are badly cut and bruised,
beside being very sore from the fall.
Receiving a message to the effect
that young lad lone of his parishioners)
in Waycross, Ca. was i'll and calling for
him Rev. c. H. B. Turner, who has been
spending a few weeks in Lewes, left a
few days earlier than he expected to.
The Richards Dredging Company has
secured the contract to dig out the Lewes
Canal and will begin work on October
lst at the Pilot Town bridge. County
Road Engineer Gum has also been di-
rected to receive plans and specification
for the steel and concrete bridge to be
constructed across the canal on South
Street, Lewes.
While the State of Delaware is said
to be dry" Lewes has had her share of
wet goods" the past few days. More
drunkenness has been seen on the streets
in the last three nights than at any time
since the dry law went into effect
The collier Norous. built by the New
port News Ship Building Company,

trip over the marked course in Delaware

With the canning houses running at
full blast in this section of the county
and labor becoming scarcer every day,
many of the farmers are fearful for their
tomato crops. Being unable to get help.
many of the tomatoes are rotting in the
fields. A few of the farmers are send
ing out of town for men and paying them
eXhorbitant prices.
Since the thirty feet of sheathing was
taken off the jetty at the mouth of the
Broadkiln River, the people of Lewes
are wondering what the next move will
be in respect to improving the estuary
of this waterway. That the jetty has
seriously interfered with the convenience
of those who wish to journey to and from
the beach by boat, to say nothing of the
nuisance of this outer bar tG outgoing
traffic, is familiar complaint. During
the past week the Government has had
80 feet of the sheathing removed from
a point in the jetty at the middle of the
old creek. so as to allow the tide to flow
in and out this point instead of around
the westerly end of the jetty where it
it has washed deep channel. The large
stones at the point in the jetty mention
ed have been thrown into the channel
of the present outlet of the river, seri-
ously endangering the safety of large
boats. 1t is rumored that the piling at
this point is to be taken out and a passage
made into the old creek like it was when
the jetty was first built A scow load
of stones is expected the first of the
week to be dumped at the inner end of
the jetty closing up the passage which
has been commonly used bv small boats
going to and from the beach. 1t is strong
ly rumOred that the jetty will be done
away with entirely and the old estuary
improved and made accessible Eor navi-
cation.
