after foraging trip into the 'Yumurl.

old fellow who never smiles. He has
long nose and big chin; he dresses

pearance, from what hear. His name
is Weyler-valerlano Weyler, marquis
Of Teneriffe."
Esteban covertly appraised his sis
ter's charms. but respecting her terror
OF Cobo he did not speak his thoughts
He was certain, however, that Rosa
knew, as well rs he. what motive lay
behind the fellows tireless persecu-
tions OF the valley dwellers; for. in
spite of their isolation, stories Of Cobo
had reached the refugees-stories that
had rendered both the boy and the girl
sick with apprehension. The colonel,
II seemed. had nearly died OF his
machete wound. and on recovering he
had sworn to exterminate the wasps
that had stung him. He had sworn
other oaths, too. oaths that robbed Es-
teban OF his sleep.
Esteban idolized his sister; her 10y
atty to him was the most precious thing
Of his life. Therefore. the thought of
that swarthy rufiian hunting her down
as n hound hangs to the trail Of doe
awoke in him terrible anger. Sec
ond only to his hatred for the guerrilla
chief was his bitterness against the
traitor. Pancho Cueto. who had capped
his villainy by setting this new peril
upon them; and since Rosa's safety
and his own honor called for the death
Of both men. he had sworn that some
how he would effect It. 1t was, Of
course. a difficult matter to get at the
colonel Of volunteers. but Cueto still
lived In the midst Of his blackeued
fields. and II was against him that the
boy was now planning to launch his
first blow.
The thought Of the hated Cobo had
momentarily distracted Esteban's
thoughts. Now he collected them and
said:
"Wait! am forgetting something.
See what Lacret's men handed me
they are posted from one end Of the
island to the other" He displayed a
printed bando. or proclamation, signed
by the new captain general. and read
a. follows:
"All Inhabitants Of the country dis

lines OF fortincations of the towns,
shall, within period Of eight days. en-

PROHIBITION TO Be
A VERMONT ISSUE
Ran For Governor in Opposition to
Two Dry Candidates.

Burlington, VT, Aug. 24-Having as
the principal plank in his platform di-
rect opposition to the adoption by Yer
mont Of the ma tionai prohibition amend
ment, Percival w. Clement. owner Of
Rutland newspaper. has entered the
contest for the governorship of YER
mont. His official announcement was
made at Burlington. following the spc-
cial session of the Republican state
committee.
Thus three-sided contest for the
governorship Is to be staged at the
Vermont primaries on September 10,
with Mr.. Clement leading the wet
forces, while both Judge Charles II
Darling, of Burlington, and Frank E
Howe, of Bennington, are on the dry
side. AS far as the fate OF the amend
ment Is concerned. neither of the trio
II they be elected. has any vote or any
power of veto.
The official announcement by Mr.
Clement says:
Both of the other candidates have

Unusual Journey OF Eighteen Hun

Negotiated.

A remarka BILE story of Overland en-
durance comes to us from the African

country are VIGOROUSLY bad, when

Africa. In his Overland. started on
"a trip which covered about 1900
miles. The journey took him through
Grahamstown, City of the Saints, Fort
Beaufort, Bedford (Which is typl-
cal Overland city, there being thirty
three Overland cars there), then to
Somerset East, GRAFT Reinet, Pears
ton. Cradock, Oudtshoorn, knysna,
Assega Bosch and other places.
Apart from trouble caused by rain
and two punctures. no difficulty what
ever was experienced nthe whole OF
the trip. The car did the good per
Torrance of making some portions Of
the journey at the rate OF twenty
seven miles per gallon.
Perhaps the most remarkable fea-
ture of the trip was the GOODNESS OF
the engine AS no water vas put into
the radiator from Oudtshoorn to Port
Elizabeth--which included Montagu
Pass, the hills 70 Knysna, which was
all low gear travel-and with chains.
The condition of the roads in some
places was appalling.
