PORTLAND, Nov. 24.--Badly damaged in a running fight with fhe German cruisers Leipzig and Nurnberg, the Canadian cruiser Rainbow is in drydock at Esqui- malt, B. C., two miles from Vic toria, with many of her crew in Victoria hospitals, according to a private letter received this morning by a Portland man from his sister, who resides in Van couver, B. c.
 The letter says the fight be- tween the Rainbow and tbe Ger man vessels is common kn0wl- edge in Victoria and Vancouver but the news was guarded and press censOrs were successful m keeping it from leaking out.
 The letter also declares that the fever of excitement in which Vancouver and Victoria have been plunged, is due to the de- feat suffered by the Rainbow.

really didn't hope would rise beneath that blazing

aromatic couch for a nap.
The westering sun had thrown a deep, cool shad-

importunate hands and a voice OF magic
Rose Urine was kneeling beside him, clutching
his shoulders calling him by name-dstracted
by an ineIplicable anxiety.
He wasted no time discriminating between dream

Copyright, 1914 By Louis Joseph
That day was hot and MINDLESS with uncoud-
ed sky-a day Of brass and burning.
Long before any sound audible to human ears
disturbed the MONDAY hush, Q bobcat summing q
log in glade to which no trail led pricked ears,
rose glanced over shoulder with q snarl and-of q
sudden was moro there.
Perhaps two minutes later a succession Of re-
mote crashings began to be heard, q cumulative
volume Of sound made by some heavy body forcing
by main strength through the underbrush, and
ceased only when a man broke into the clearing
pulled up stood for instant swaying then reeled
to seat on the log, piowing his head on arms
folded across his knees and shudderinE uncon-
trollably in all his limbs.
But he strove to calm himself and
rest the feeling that something was peering at him
from behind mask Of underground grew intoer.
ably acute.
At length he jumped up glared wildly at the spot
where that something no longer was, flung himself
franticaly through the brush In pursuit Of It, and
found nothing.
With q great effort he pulled himself together
clamped his teeth upon the promise not again to
give way to Authorizations and turned back to the
clearing
There, upon the log on which he had rested, he
found-but refused to believe he saw playing
card, Trey Of Hearts, face up in the sun-glare.
With gesture Of horror, Alan Law fed the
place.
grinning half-breed guide stole like a shadow to
the log laughed derisvely after the fugitive picked
up and pocketed the card and set out in tireless,
cat-footed pursuit.
An hour later, topping . ridge Of rising ground,
Alan caught from the hollow its farther side
the music Of clashing waters. Tortured by thirst,
he began at once to descend in reckless haste
The shelving moss-beds afforded treacherous
footing: Alan was glad now and then Of the sup
port Of cedar. but these grew ever smaller and
more widely spaced and were not always conve-
nient to his hand. He came abruptly and at head
long pace within sight Of the caves Of a clin-and
precisely then the hillside seemed to slip from
under him.
He was instantaneousy aware of the sun
molten ball wheeling madly in the cup OF the tur
quoise sky. Then dark waters closed over him.
He came up struggling and gasping and struck
out for something dark that rode the waters near
at understanding vaguely resembling a canoe
Within a stroke Of outstretched paddle he
flung up hand and went down again.
Instantly one occupant Of the canoe a young
and very beautiful woman in mans hunting
clothes, spoke sharp word OF command and
her guide steaded the vessel with his paddle,
