NINE EXPLODES NEAR LINER
Passengers on Pennsylvania Hurled
from Berths by Explosion
Twenty FIT. from Bow.

New York, Dec 1.-Two mines
exploded with terrific force just
about twenty feet from the bow OF
the, Cunard liner Pennsylvania while
she was steaming through the Eng
lish Channel at dawn on December G.
according to passengers aboard the
liner which arrived here yesterday.
1T was am. The whole ship,
with the exception of the officers on
watch. was asleep. A gale was rag
ing and the Pennsylvania was plow-
ing through mountainous seas. Of a
sldden the water near the bow OF
me Transylvaaia rose up, jet OF
flames shot through and carried far
into the air and then the water fol-
lowed. going high into the air and
coming down onto the deck of the
liner.
Hardly had the sound of the first
explosion died away, and while the
Pennsylvania was rocking like a cork
another explosion occurred off the
starboard bow of the liner. Another
JET of flames Kissed from out of the
sea and wave of water, swept over
the ship. ~
Every passenger on board the |
liner was thrown out of his bunk, by
the first explosion and tossed around
hy the second. The passengers.
>cantily clad rushed on deck. They
were in panic, thinking that their
ship had been torpedoed or that it

Richmond, Dec, 17-War with its

South, to, .cemmernorste, TIE. DEEDS Of.
theEs 'fathetsj wig Rug# fo q along ?a9s;
years for the "lost cause" While
Charles Hoffbauer, tRee noted French
PAINTER, is fighting under the tn
color, the final stages of the work. on
the Confederate Memorial Institute,
at Richmond--better known as the
Battle Abbey, and which was made
POSSIBLE by the liberality OF the late
MIR. Charles Broadway Rouss, OF
Winchester and New York--cannot
be completed and the handsome build
ing remains closed to the public.
In the Confederate Memorial In
stitute, the historic capital of the
Cid Dominion will have another at
traction which will not only be the
pride of Virginia's citizens, but will
tc the Mecca of thousands of WIS.,
itors from both the north and the
south. The building has been fully
completed, and the grounds around
il are already the best example OF
the art of the landscape gardener to
be found in this section, but the
great mural paintings-by which
the deeds of the brave Confederate
soldier are to be inlmortallzed--
r,ust wait the end of the titanic
struggle now under way, and should
a bullet find its mark in the breast
OF the artist, who dropped his brush
to take up the sword, the whole OF
tie work, which has already taken
more than year, will go for naught
No other man could carry out the
designs, which though uncon1-
rleted, are things of beauty now.
The conception of this memorial
building had its origin in the big
brain and larger heart of Charles
Broadway Rouss who for four years
was a private in one Of the noted
cavalry regiments of the Army of
Northern Virginia. 1t was in 1905
at the annual Confederate reunion
at Houston Texas that he made his
first formal proposal to give 100000
for such structure providing the
people of the .:outh contributed like
amount. The cost of the great paint
ings is to borne by Thomas Fortune
Ryan, and will be in addition to the
100000 contribution for the building.
The contract was let to Mr.. Houff-
bauer in competition with some of
the most noted artists;in the world.
.1!l,ossands ~of plants: and flowers
imported from France and other
countries, have been set out. One Of
the biggest features of the park is
the court of honor, in the rear of
the building. Walks and concrete
ydriveways have been laid off, trees,
Of evergreen variety chiefly, and a
oxwood hedge have all been set
out around the whole of the grounds
The work was done under the sup
elvision Of Warren II. Manning, a
noted landscape designer of Boston.
Relics of the Confederacy will be
gathered from all over the South
and man, Of the Confederate mu-
seums will send their choicest col
iections to the Battle Abbey. Liter
allure has been gathered from every
section OF the world and it will take
many hours to view the wonders Of
the institute after everything is ar
ranged.

She felt a curious construction at her throat
from the terror inspired within her by the ap-

Lucille stared straight ahead of her. The ter

PERHAPS it was the shock from her encounter
with the strange native that made her Slum-
Der light. for the sound very faint that
wakened Lucille from the doze into which she
finally had fallen. Like the rippling of a breeze
through the leaves il was and vet something omi-
nous about IL brought her bolt upright in bed,
her every faculty alert.
Like other sound she had ever heard it
grew more and more distinct wakcfuness
claimed her fully. Gradually she made out that it
came from Immediately over her head Her ears
and eyes worked together and she followed the
motion of sound until it ceased and was fol-
lowed by another ard more Cminous one, such a
sound as a rat makes gnawing at a hole. And yet
1t was not at all like such sound
The noise ceased abruptly. Startled at the
suddenness of it she looked at the spot from
which the last noise had come. then, with shrek
of horror. her eyes followed the stealthy. grace
full reptile that seemed to grow from out the very
roof of the thatched hut. It's spineless body wav-
erng longer and longer before her horror-stricken
eyes, its fiat head moving in all directions. two
little threads continually Pickering from out it's
hideous mouth.
With wild scream of terror she darted
through the hut opening, heavng sigh of re-
lief at feeling the warm, clean air of the open
window upon her cheek after the fetid atmOs-
phere which the snake-intruder had seemed to
bring with him. After long effort she con-
quered the chill of icy terror which the SER
pent had thrown upon her. Her heart was very
heavy for it was the first time anything had hap
Pened to her which seemed apart from human
agency. =.
There at the outskirts of the village she
fought against her terror, fought down the hor-
of the apparition which had wakened her
from slumber and driven her forth into the night.
And then she steeled herself against the fear the
cowardce. About her neck was the little bag
with the papers and diary of Hugo Loubeque, the
papers that meant much to the man to whom
she was engaged.
Fighting against herself against everything
feminine in her nature, she forced herself back to
the hut. And then great feeling of relief en-
quilted her For the snake gone. Listen
closely as she would, sound came to her ears
the myriad noises of the surrounding country,
the Jungle. But the hut in wild disorder
Everything inside it had been torn apart. Not an
inch of its surface but had been covered care
fully in the disruption. No snake had brought
about this confusion.
Lucille smiled to herself. Hugo Loubeque was
the who had frightened her SO artfully.
But she still had the papers.
