THE IRON JUDGE OF MALTA.

One night, 200 years ago. Judge
Cambo of Malta sat by his bedroom
window gazing out upon the sleeping
town, which was bathed In brilliant
moonlight. Had Judge Cambo not been
sitting by his window that night, his
name would never have been known
outside the island OF Malta, which is
about eight miles wide and seventeen
long; but he couldn't sleep we'll that
night, for one reason or another, 30 he
took his seat by the window. and
eventually became known all over the
world, or wherever lawyers congre-
gate. Thus we see upon what small
peg destiny sometimes hangs.
There is no doubt that Judge Cambo
was a man OF integrity and ability.
Some even hold that he had a con-
science. In his youth he was consid-
cred sentimental and went so far. upon
occasion. as to write poetry. But he
took up the study Of the law quite
early. and the law became an infatua-
ton with him. As the years went on
he became saturated with II, 30 that 1t
took full possession of his soul and
mind. He judged everything in the
earth and the waters under the earth
by his Maltese law, which was some
what different from that now prevail
ing, as the island then was under the
dominion Of the Knights of st. John.
In the mind of Judge Cambo, though he
perhaps wouldn't have confessed 1t,
Justice was a small thing as compared
with the law. II Justice and the law
could be made to walk comfortably
along the same road, well and good ;

the condition on the 25th Of May at
IT'S per cent. This was the first
condition report made by the De-

was 80 per cent, and the average
on the oath Of May for the last ten
years Is 1913 per cent. The govern
ment's official report estimating the

is now said that unofficial estimates
Of the area for the year puts it at 6

The national Republican and
Progressive conventions are both in
session at Chicago, having convened
Wednesday of this week. II Is the
calculation Of the Progressives to
take no action until after the Re-
publicans. 1t was reported that
with the coming together Of the
conventions, there was a decline in
Roosevelt stock, while that Of JUS
tice Charles A. Hughes went up ac-
cordingly- not, however. to a point
sufficient to nominate the juriSt.
The Progressives went to Chicago
bent on the Colonel. but 1t is the
concensus Of opinion among the
Regulars that their party could not
be whipped into giving Roosevelt
their endorsement. Senator Lodge
was on Tuesday suggested as a pos
sible compromise man, Senator La
Toilette was also mentioned and
there were others in the background
ready and willing to be hit by
the presidential bolt. The news
was wired to Lexington Wednesday
morning that Jesse Littleton had
been made the national committee
man over Gore--and new "doings"
may be expected in Tennessee If
Jess Littleton Is to be in the saddle
as the Republican leader. The out
come Of the two conventions can as
yet be but a piece Of guesswork.

Black Leg Among
Cattle in This Co.

we get the information which we
consider reliable that the disease
known as blacklee, has broken out
among the cattle some two or three
miles West Of Lexington. Our in
formant says that Joe and irwin
Azbill, about three miles West Of
town, have lost two or three head
Of cattle that ran on the outside,
and C. F. McHaney, on his fars1 in
side of two miles West, has lost per-
haps as many. We are not familiar
enough with the disease to describe
its symptoms, but our informant
says the cattle taken with it become
stiff and sore.
d.. j. G.. Cantwell, a local veteri-
marian, we are told says there is no
known cure for the disease, but that
it may be prevented by vaccination.
We can add that DR.. Cantwell is
vaccinating the cattle on the West
side Of town as rapidly as he can
obtain the vaccine matter. We
make this publication in order that
our people may be warned and take
steps to isolate their cattle and to
take whatever other precaution they
may be able to do, to prevent
spread Of the disease.
Later: DR.. J. G. Cantwell, the
veterinarian named (who has been
appointed county livestock inspect
or by County Judge Appleby) in
forms us that cattle taken with
blackleg first show dullness and loss
Of appetite, followed by stiffness in
one or more quarters, front or back,
and arching Of the back. Calves
under a year old generally die in 6
to s hours and older cattle live but
to IL hours after developing the
disease. Dr.. Cantwell is prepared to
vaccinate and the cost is so cents
per head. This is no advertise
ment, but information for the ben
eft Of the people.

Bransome felt that the question was
like an unwritten doom He looked
at Mary Starr IN the moonlight as they
stood outside Colonei STAIRS conserv-
atory.
Bransome had known Mary for five
months Colonel Starr, in whose regi.
ment he was now captain, had taken
a liking to the young man when they
were posted in Malta, and had invited
him to his home in England. Now
Bransome, with the acting rank OF
major, was to leave for West Africa
to put down the rebellion Of the Kru
tribe in the recesses of the forests.
And he loved Mary.
But he knew that she was engaged
to Lionel Travis, the political agent
among the Krus, who had made his
escape to the coast after sanguinary
fighting.
Yet they loved, and love was strong
or than honor at that moment. They
gravitated toward each other, and
stood looking at each other, not dar-
ing to speak lest they betray them
selves.
III | meet Travis" began Bran
some at length.
"Yes?" Her word was like q ca.
ress.
What shall tell him."
Mary took the solitaire from her
finger. Give him this" she said soft
ly.
Bransome, incredulous, clasped her
in his arms and their lips met. You

Before Bransome departed 1t was
understood that they were engaged
And Lionel Travis ring reposed IN

the agent If they met Bransome
would affect ignorance of the contents
of the little box. 1t was cruel mis-
sion, but there was no way of getting
letter to Travis, who might be in
any part of the coast.
Bransome sailed the following day.
and, fifteen days later, arrived with
his regiment at the coast town. All
the interior was in ferment. The
regiment was sent up hastily to the
base, where it halted while the pio-
neers cut roads through the forest.
And it was there that Bransome met
Travis.
He was to accompany the column
as political delegate to the loyal tribes.
The two men, who knew each other
greeted each other warmly, though
Bransome naturally showed something
of constraint. Travis lunched in the
mess, and they smoked their cigars
together afterward. When Travis rose
to depart to his quarters Bransome
spoke of Mary Starr for the first time.
She asked me to give you this" he
said, handing him the little box con-
tanning the ring.

and slipped it into his pocket.
The column started day or two
later, Travis accompanying it. Often
tn, men exchanged words. Bransome
would look curiously at Travis, but he
could gather nothing from the agents
inscrutable countenance.
There was, however, little time for
thinking. On the sixth day the ene-
my's stronghold was sighted. The
messenger who went forward with
summons 20 surrender was met with
defiant shouts from the negroes. Half
an hour later the seven-pounders
opened fire on the rebel stockade.
A fusilade from elephant guns fol-
lowed, but few of the attacking party
were hit. Presently the guns ceased;
a breach had been made in the strong
walls, built Of hardwood logs and al
most as resistant as cement and NOR
tar.
The regiment spread out In line.
Bransome ran before them, waving his
sword. Advance" he shouted.
Then he saw Travis beside him in
his civilian clothes. The agents
white solar helmet made a splendid
mark for an enemy. GO back, you

But Travis ran beside him. and
