Holton stood facing the man, I'm,
movable as statue. The girl stepped
forward.
'You are lying!" she cried. There
will be no execution"
"Oh, but yes, there will bel" was the
smiling rejoinder, "and right before
your eyes unless you retire"
"You flend!" With a sudden, 1.-the

Holton placed his hands upon her
supple waist and lifted her to one side
The revolver darted forward to aim
The girl uttered little cry and sprang
back, selling the Americans coat with
her hands stretched behind her.

"You-you-"
Cesnola's face was working with
the rage of a fanatic.

hind the hills, and then, as a panther
dashes from cave in the mouth Of
which hunters have kindled a fire, she
turned to the right and dashed into
the open sea.
1t seemed an age. but it was not
more than few seconds, when ter
rifle roar shook the waters, and a
burst Of flame and gases rolled from a
turret Of one of the American ships.
Holton marked the course OF the
great thirteen-inch shell, saw the
great, dark shape dart with lightning
speed toward the Vizcaya, saw it hur.
tie over the deck, ricochet on the wa
ter, and explode in the woods beyond.
Then the earth shook with fearful
noise.
From all the American ships, and
from those of the Spaniards. great
guns vomited forth their messengers
Of death and destruction. The sky
grew dark, and a yellowish pail set
tied upon the sea.
AS Holton stood tense, following the
combat as in a trance, he heard a tre'
mendous explosion, and saw the Ma
RE Theresa list sharply, and then saw
her turn In toward the land, where she
soon grounded. He could see men
clinging to her decks.
1t was clear that the American YES
sells were overhauling the enemy's
ships, although Holton had under
stood that, as regards speed, our YES
sells were inferior. The discharge of
guns was incessant. Almost directly
beneath him he saw two Spanish de-
stroyers disengage themselves from
the larger vessels and swing about,
evidently with the intention of return
ing to the harbor; but, like hawk,

FELT He WAS PASSED OVER
Somewhat Peculiar Idea That Gave
Yeungster Great Sense OF
Personal Injury.

Mrs. Flint, who always has an eye
and ear for childish troubles, stopped
one day on her way to luncheon OF
her college class because she saw a
stout little boy who was standing near
the curb and crying loudly. She un-
dertook to comfort the distressed
youngster.
She bent down, patted the tow-col-
ored head, gazed into the tearstalned
face and made as if to wipe away the
traces of grief.

child?" asked she solicitously.
"M-my b-brother's got a vacation
and-and l haven't" he roared.
What a shame!" said the wnzr.as.

long, rakish American craft, con-

them, letting fly with her machine
guns and six-pounders as she came.
The torpedo boats fought back with
all the venom of maddened serpents,
but gallant Wainwright and the Glou-
cester were not to be denied, and, I'M
der the fury of his onset, the two de-
stroyers succumDed like craft of card
board, disabled and sinking within the
course Of what seemed to Holton a
very few minutes.
He could see two or three of the
larger Spanish vessels aground now,
flames seething from hatchways, the
men of the crew leaping into the sea-
Liefboats from the American vessels
were among them, attending to the
work of rescue as diligently as, but
a few moments before, they had set
themselves to the task of dealing
death to their foes.

"Out of the way" repeated the
Spaniard, with a sort of kissing Of the
breath. "Out of the way, or, by God!

There was the crash of an opening

What's this-this noise and shout

Holton, watching his enemy like q

JUDGE HAS TASK on HAND
SOLOMON HIMSELF MIGHT HAVE
SHE'D AT SOLVING THIS
QUESTION.

It's an old saying that NJ house Is
large enough to hold two families
and the truth Of this sage saw is be-
ing exemplified this afternoon in po-
lice court. Mrs. Nettie Maynard and
Mrs. Margaret Harrison. who occu-
py the same house on West Court
street, are engaged in a bitter clash
and each has had the other arrested
Judge Fitz Gerald is, therefore, given
task that even a Solomon might
we'll shun
Mrs. Harrison made the first COM
plant but Mrs. Maynard overcame
this handicap by coming back with
two cross-complaints Mrs. Harrison
charges that on the night of January
22, Mrs. MAYNARD entertained men in
her part of the house in a violent,
riotous and disorderly" manner.
Mrs. Maynard answers by accusing
her accuser of abusive and insulting
language toward herself. Mrs. Pearl
Hudson and Miss Emma Dix on the
morning of the 2srd which was yes
terday. The first complaint. among
other things AYERS that Mrs. Harri-
son called Mrs. Hudson in loud and
angry voice. a dirty, rotten little
thing and told her that she could be
held for white slavery. The second
complaint charges that she spoke to
Mrs. Maynard and Miss Dix in a
harsh. loud and boisterous voice. -
and told them among other things
that they were nothing but dirty,
lowdown trash, the worst in town"
The case was called for two o'clock
and no one can mistake it for a love
feast.

service. He Will not be permitted to
sever connection with the government
except over the presidents protest.
The president expects Goethals VIII
stay This much was learned from an
authoritative source today.
II Is understood that the report
that Goethals was seriously consider
ing Mayor Mitchel's offer to ap-
point him police commissioner of New
York had shocked the president. He
already planned the issuance of an ex-
ecutive order creating a canal gov
ernment with Goethals as the COVER
nor. The war department expected
that Goethals would definitely decline
Mitchers offer soon.
The fact that Goethals even con.
s.dered the offer. army officers said.
was due to friction during last year
among certain Panama officials.

sponsible for the report that Goethals
was likely to become police commits
