the world. In his work as an in
structor Professor Robinson stood
for thoroughness above everything
else. He insisted that the students
in his classes should have know
ledge of what ground they covered
and consequently the student who
graduated in civil engineering at
"Old Delaware" was we'll pre-
pared. The number who made
good and now holds responsible
positions in all parts of the world
is tribute to the work of the de-
ceased professor as an educator.
Professor Robinson was born in
Wilmington, August %, 1850. He
was the son of Emma and Joseph
Robinson. His wife, who survives
him, was Miss Sara Mendinhall,
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Edward
Mendinhall. Julian B. Robinson,
of Wilmington, and Howard R.
Robinson, of New York, are broth
ers of the deceased.
Professor Robinson attended the
Wilmington public schools and
graduated from Polytechnic Col
lege of Pennsylvania located in
Philadelphia, which has been out
of existence for some years. He
graduated with the degree of B. C.
c., and in 1883 the degree of Mas
ter Civil Engineer was conferred
on him by his Alma.
After graduating the deceased
went with the Pennsylvania rail-
road and became assistant engi-
neer of the Pittsburgh division. He
later returned to Polytechnic Col
lege as professor of mathematics.
Years ago he was connected with
the Edge Moor Iron Works and
was also at one time chief engi-
neer of the Department of Engi-
neering and Surveying of Whining
ton. For time he was in the en-
gineering business in Wilmington
under the firm name of Candy and
Robinson and later became as
sistant engineer of the Maryland
division Of the P. B. & w. railroad.
From there he went to Delaware
College as professor of civil engi-
neering in 1890.
The deceased wrote a portion of
text book on surveying and also
a number of literary and scientific
essays. He was a member of the
Young Mems Republican Club, an
honorary alumnus of Wilmington
Friends School and a member of
the Society for the promotion of
Engineering Education. He was
Friend.

NEW MACA-
'..- ZINE APPEARS
The Art World" An Instant
Success

The endowed art movement in
New York, which publishes the
cart World" has met with an in
slant success with it's first issue,
that for October. 1t is a beauti-
full magazine, beautifully. printed
and illustrated. It answers the
need of standard by which to
judge all art; Ruckstuhl, the ia
nous sculptor, writing at length
and giving a simple method. A
few horrible examples" repro
auctions of art work as it should
not be, adds to the clearness of the
definitions.
The frontispiece is a wood-cut
by Timothy Cole, large enough for
framing and there are pictures Of
Bartlett's sculptures for the House
wing of the National capitol; of
the portrait statue of Emerson, of
Coles series; "The Voyage of
Life, and of plans for making
water towers and gas tanks objects
of beauty at little cost. August
Thomas shows what makes a play
good or bad and how it is made so.
Kenyon Cox writes of painting in
mastery way, treating the sub
ject historically and with analysis
of success in the art. The article
as to the private life of Emerson,
another, a study Of art impulses
in the insane, and the beginning
of a serial as to the aesthetical
ideal, translated from the French,
are all effective and interesting.
A bit of local interest is given to
the number by the publication of
a sonnet by Owen R. Washburn of
Elkton, which we are reprinting.

A boy wanted with Pep,

an opportunity for a boy not

"Ho, There! Cease Firing!"

dians burst into exultant yells, and several opened fire on the fugitive as the mare leaped down to- the coulee and dashed across the bottom toward the gulley. .
 Urged on by voice and spurless heel, the mare sprinted over the sandy level with the rush of a racehorse on the home stretch. Coming to the narrowed stream, she covered it in a single Ire mendous leap, and dashed on, un- checked, up into the gulley, safe out of reach of those whirring leaden hornets.
 AS they swept past the low bush at the entrance of the gulley, the rider looked down at the man behind it He saw blond, f1orid young fellow, whose were ugly with hate. A glimpse, and he was past the outlier.
 The woman, crouched just beyond, under the edge of the bank, was blaz- ing away toward the Indians with an automatic revolver. An instant later he pulled up his mare alongside the buck board and looked up with cool alert ness at the third member of the party, under the brink of the bank. The man ceased firing and twisted his thickset body half about so that he could stare down at the newcomer. His close cropped hair was grizzled, his face leathery and stolid. The cast of his fea- lures indicated French Canadian blood.

 OUR NEW SERIAL!
CHAPTER I.
Under Fire.

Under Fire.
 In it's spring freshness the usual ireary brown of the Montana range was tempered with a pleasant green. But the midday sun was blisteringly hot, and the rider turned his eyes to the snowy creSts of the Little Paw mountains. The. nearest of the rugged, pine-clad spurs were now only four or five miles away. He had almost reached the reservation. Wolf river marked the boundary. The rangy stride of his thoroughbred mare was as easy and unfaftering as when she had borne him away from the half-doZen Shacks of the nearest town" on the railroad, fifty miles back over the open range. But as they began to top the rise, he drew her down to her rapid walk, and took out his fieldglasses.
 Hardly had he focused the powerful little binoculars when from across the coulee, a short distance downstream, came the crack of a high-power rifle, A moment later the shot was followed by three deeper reports from up. stream. The first shot was smokeless
 
 puffs of their charges of black powder directed the gaze of the rider to the dozen or more swarthy, half-naked In dians crouching near the top of the coulee bank, across from the nearby butte. All were warily peering down the coulee.
 The road ran obliquely across the narrow valley to a side gulley that gashed the far bank a hundred yards or so downstream. Back in the shelter of this gulley four or five ponies stood grouped before a blackboard. Above them a man was crouched under the edge of the bank. Another man lay behind small bush, just outside the entrance of the gulley. A woman in civilized dress was coming around from the rear of the blackboard. The erect figure of the rider tensed with quick decision. He wheeled his mare out of the road, to cut down the sharp slope directly towards the Indians. His voice rang across the coulee with the clearness of a bugle call: "Ho, there Cease firing"
 At his command, the Indians twisted about to glare at him in half panic Three or four started to slink away But one swung his rifle around and fired. The bullet grazed the riders coat collar. He flung up his right hand palm outward. The reply to the peace sign was a second bullet, that cut the crown of his campaign hat.
 Two bullets were enough to change of ,-sI from him and. touch of the rein, his

ceased the instant their view. of the fugitive was cut off. Yet, after q sin gle hard look, the man on the bank turned away to thrust his rifle up over the edge and shoot. The rider wheeled his mare and rode back past the Sldt- tish ponies. The woman had crept in from the entrance of the gulley to where she could stand upright without exposing herself to the fire Jf the Indians.
 She came up the slope with an easy, springing step that t'ld of youthful buoyancy. From undOr the hem of her neat gingham dress peeprd the toes of small, blue-beaded moccasins. Having reloaded her pistol, she raised her head to look up at the rider. He was lifting his hand to touch his hat with perfunctory courtesy. Then he saw her face-calm, proud, vividly beauti- full.
 He removed his hat, with a sudden change in his manner that brought a gfeam into the girls blue-black eyes. The glare of the midday sun exposed the lines in his strong, plain face and the pallor under it's tropical tan. From the white hairs that silvered his thick ruddy locks at the temples, his age might have been put at thirty-ive or forty. But this ign of middle age was contradicted by the clear hazel eyes.
 A trifle disc0ncerted by the girls cool scrutiny, he brusquely demanded !: 'fWhat is the trouble here?" She looked from his cavalry puttees to his army saddle and the butt of his rife. 'T guess you needn't worry about your sca1p," she assured him, her rich contralto voice as soft as it was sweet ly mocking. "You came near getting a hair brand, I see. But you're safe enough now if you keep close.' The raillery brought slight flush in l to his sallow cheeks. Yet his gaze did l not finch before her look of disdain He asked another question: "Have they taken the agency?"
 "No. We saw this bunch up the bank. Reggie cut loose at them before Pere could stop him."
 "sPerer Ah--your father. The other man fired at them first, you say?'
 Can you blame him? He was alons when the agent was shot down, las week. You may have heard of tn, murder"
 "Yes. Still it was wrong for him tt invite an attack, with a woman in hi party"
 "Oh, I'm only a quarterbreed, yol know" replied the girl with ironica lightness. Besides, Reggie though the party was trying to head us off Don't worry. Charlie Redbear crawle' up the road half an hour ago. Tn chances are we can hold out until h fetches the police" 4 rifle shot pune tuated the remark.

 He looked at the girl, between COT cern and swiftly growing admiration o her remarkable beauty. Her eyes wer like blue-black diamonds. An almos imperceptible film of old-gold enriche
 the e-cream and rose of her cheeks. He

Jet-plack hair was of French finenesS. The curve of her rather large mouth was perfect.
 But the red lips were again parting in a disdainful smile. She replied with out seeking to conceal her scOrn: If you're afraid they'll take the butte, you might get away by bolting down the coulee. We'll do what we can to draw their fire"
 You willy" he said. 'Thank you for your suggestion. I believe I'll follow it. Kindly step aside"
 She stood motionleSs, her eyes gilt tering with cold contempt of his cow ardice. Unchecked by the look, he leaned forward in the saddle. The mare leaped away like a startled deer Once clear of the gulley she swerved sharply and raced away down the cou- lee. The flight was so unexpected, so l daring and so swift that the fugitive had been borne a good fifty yards down along the foot of the near slope before ! the Indians opened fire on him.
 The girl had crept forward and crouched in the entrance of the gulley to peer after him.
 ''The coward!'' she cried. 'The cow ard I hope they get him l'
 But before one of the many bullets could find the leaping, receding mark, mare and rider shot out of sight behind a clump of willows. At once the firing ceased.
 The blond young man under the bush glanced around at the girl and called jeeringly: q say, Marie, how's that for bobtail visit? Took him for gentleman"
 l "Gentleman? That's the word," she mocked. Conduct becoming an officer and gentleman"
 "Oficer?" he repeated. "You don't mean to say-'' .t.E
 "Yes," she asserted. He's an army officer. I could see it sticking out all over him."
 The man stared at her in blank amazement, but suddenly bethought himself to roll over and send a bullet pinging up the coulee.
 The girl continued 10 peer down the river bottom. After several moments mare and rider dashed into view, rae ing directly across the coulee Though the Indians at once> opened fire, the mare had skinned over the level and up into a gulley in the far bank before they could get the range.
 Hopeful that one or more of the enemy might expose themselves during the excitement, the young man behind the bush had not looked around. As the firing ceased, he called scofingly ''How about the strategic retreat? Does General Fabius make his getaway with out casualties?"
 ''Le bon Dieu be praised! He has escaped" the girl mocked in turn. "Wt are saved. In a week or ten days ht will return to the rescue with thre. troops of cavalry.' If those sneaking coyotes have sen a delegation around to climb the butte from the upside, we'll get ours before Charlie can come back with the DO lice" grumbled the young man. 'Yes. Our military expert saw tha at once. He said this position wouit become untenable." ''So he ran, leaving a woman in thu lurch-the skunk p'

"Well, he has gone. You'd better be you've got us into," suggested the girl.
 "All I did was to knock up the dust in front of them. The way they came back at me proves they really were scheming to get us."

5000 MILES IN BASKET.

Roseland, Ind, Jan. IA jour-
ney of 5000 miles in a basket bed
ended here Tuesday when c. G.
Smith, a mining engineer, of Natal,
South Africa, arrived at the home Of
his parents. He suffered a broken
back in a mine accident and is paraly-
zed from the waist down, but never
theless will wed Miss Amy Palmer,
an English nurse, who cared for him
in a hospital in Cardiff, Wales, and
helped bring him home.
Smith and a companion were re-
pairing machinery in the South At
rican workings. A huge rock fell,
killing his companion. At Smiths
request the company started him
home, appropriating $4,000 for the
surgical and other expenses of the
trip. The journey was broken at Car
diff so that the injured man might re-
ceive special medical attention, and
it was there that he met Miss Palmer.
Because of the size of the basket in
which Smith travelled it was neces-
sary to take out the windows of a
railroad coach to get him aboard the
train.
