 It was to unlock the door of the tool shed, and on the signal ''cease work two blasts of the principal warders whs- tle-a rush was to be made for the shed, the tools seizbed, the warders attacked and dsarmed and the umtineers, armed with the carbines taken from the guards, were to meet the governor on his return and secure the money he was fetching.
 These details I communicated to the governor and. although everything was apparently allowed to proceed as uusual, the tools were quietly removed from the shead, and when the rush was made the door was shut and the men caught like rats in a trap.
 The leader, blazing with fury and anathema tizing his followers as towards, advised a rush for the gate but they found themselves looking into loaded carbines. He himself attempted to escape by climbing up the rugged face of the quarry, but shot from the signal men , ended his life The remainder of the mutineers-a dozen of us had fallen in and had not joined in the fray-were quietly secured, and that evening I felt for home, having been a convict there for five weeks.

AT PAXTANG PARK

This will be the big night of the
week at Paxtang Park. Nothing in
the way of free attractions seems TO
draw the people out to the park so
much as the fireworks. Manager
Davis has made arrangemtnts for an
extra big display for this evening.
Some specialties in the way of set
pieces have been added to the usual
show and an exhibition of eNtraordi-
nary beauty may be expected. The
pyrotechnic man will not start his per-
formanoe until O'Clock, thus giving
everybody a chance to get to the park
in ample time to see it all.
The vaudeville performance at the
park theater will not begin until after
the fireworks, so that all who wish
may attend the show. The park bill

merit. charming little one-act play,

VICTORIA THEATER

Tomorrow, at The Victoria, will be
shown Her Ladvship," a photoplay in
three parts, written by Charles Cogh-
Ian, father of the leading lady of the
play.
Her Ladvship" has for its the
marriage of a lady of noble birth to a
self-made merchant, the strenuous ef-
forts of a selfish, jealous, pious sister
in-law of the husband, to selfishly dis
runt the union. Richard Dixon, the
husband, is made to believe that gentle
Lady Cecil married him for his money
alone, while her ladyship, through the
same channels, is almost convinced that
her husband wished to elevate himself
socially through her. Lady Cecil has
a reversion to the ways of her girl
hood. and seeks forgetfulness in the
widest sort of gaiety
The crafty Janets scheme for pre-
pairing a strong sleeping potion for
Lady Cecil, is overcome by little Elsie,
the nine-year- daughter of Dixon.
who tells of her aunt entering the room
while Lady Cecil is absent at a ball,
while Walter Dixon, Richards nephew,
corroborates the testimony of seeing
her there, examining the drug walls at
o'clock in the morning. Through this
testimony and events following, the
husband is brought clearly to see the
great conspiracy in his family. He is
happily reunited to his wife; she has a
better understanding of him, and the
mischievous and malignant Janet is
driven from the scene
To-day the bill includes "A Romany
Spy" a Pathe film in three parts. a

from personal experience. She writes.
After our long experience with
Grape-Nuts, l cannot say enough in its
favor. We have used this food almost
continually for seven years.
I'VE sometimes tried other adver-
tised breakfast foods but we invariably
returned to Grape-Nuts as the most
palatable, economical and nourishing
of all.
when I quit tea and coffee and be-
gan to use Postum and Grape-Nuts,

irritable l could not sleep nights, had
10 interest in life.
After using Grape-Nuts a short
time l began to improve and all these
ailments have disappeared and now 1
am a we'll woman. My two children
have been almost raised on Grape
Nuts, which they eat three times day.
They are pictures of health and
have never had the least symptom of
stomach trouble, even through the
most severe siege of whooping cough
they could retain Grape-Nuts when all
else failed.
