LIVED MANY CENTURIES AGO
Skeleton of Giant wombat, Recently
Found In Tasmania, Believed TO
Be 10000 Years Old.

A complete skeleton recently discoy-
cred In the Mowbray marsh, on the far
outskirts of the Wild marshy regions
of Northwest Tasmania confirms the
existence 10000 or 10000 years ago of
a giant wombat (ome Of the pouched
animals peculiar to the Antipodes).
The discovery was made by Mr..
Lovett, a farmer. who was digging a
drain Into the swamp.
The skeleton lay buried In six feet
of deeayed vegetable matter resting on
sand that was once the bed of a lake.
Mr.. Scott of the Launceston museum
examined and excavated the skeleton
and expressed the opinion that the
animal had lived perhaps more than
10000 years ago, says the London
Daily Mail. 1t is the only specimen
yet discovered. In life the animal
would be bigger than a mule. with
four elephantine legs and a head very
much like a bulldog. Experts believe
1t to be smaller species of a gigantic
marsuptai approaching in size the
Brontosaurus (Which weighed so to 80
ronsl. It has long, bearlike tusks, and
probably lived on herbs and was slow
of movement.
The present-day wombat is a bur
rowing animal from two to three feet
long. with a short. thick body, short
legs and very little tail.

ready, I'll go back to the hotel for
Miss Ruey."
Every well, sor," Don Juan replied.
and crawled back under the ware
house. .
Half an hour later the sound of
hoOf beats warned him of the APP
prOach of Webster and Dolores in a
carriage, and he came forth, loaded in
the launch such baggage as they had
been enabled to bring, and held the
gunwafe Of the boat while ais passen-
gers stepped aboard.
About a half a mile OFF shore Web
ster thr0ttled down the motor until
the launch barely made steerage way.
ut would never do to go aboard the
steamer before the fracas started
ashore" he explained to Dolores.
THAT would indicate guilty knowl-
edge of coming events, and in the
event Of disaster to the rebel arms 1t
IL just possible Senior Sarros might
have pull enough, If he hears OF our
&ight six hours In advance of hostil-
files, to take us off the steamer and
ask us to explain. So we'll Just cruise
slowly around and listen; the attack
will come just before dawn; then
shortly thereafter we can scurry out
to the steamer and be welcomed
aboard for the sake of the news we
bring"
She did not answer, and Webster
knew her thoughts were out where the
arc lights on the outskirts of Buena-
ventura met the open country-out
where the brother she could scarcely
remember and whom, until a month
previous, she had believed dead, would
shortly muster his not, too numerous
followers.
In the darkness Webster could hear
the click Of her beads as she prayed :;
on the turtle deck forward Don Juan
Cafetero sprawled, thinking perchance
Of his unlovely past and wondering
what effect the events shortly to tran
gpire ashore would have on his future.
Ne wished Webster would reient and
offer him drink some time within the
next tWenty-four hours. In times Of
excitement like the present a man
needs drop to brace him up.
Five times the launch slipped lazi-
b down the harbor along the strag-
Cling two mile water front; five times
Il leafed back. The moon, which was
In the first quarter. sank. Then TO
Webster's alert ear there floated
across the still waters the sound of a
gentle purring-the music Of an auto
truck. he set the launch in toward
teber's little dock, and presently they
saw the door OF Leber's warehouse
open. Men with lanterns streamed
forth, lighting the way for others who
bore between them heavy burdens.
They're emplacing the machine
guns in the motor-truck," he whis-
Pered to Dolores. "We will not have

CHAPTER xIv-contInued.

AT 10 o'clock Webster accompanied
Mother jerks home In the carriage,
which he dismissed at FL Buen Amigo
with instructions to return to the
hotel while he continued afoot down
the Gale San Rosario to the bay,
where Leber's huge corrugated iron
warehouse loomed darkly above high
water mark. He slipped along in the
deep shadow of the warehouse wall
and out on the end of the little dock,
where he satisfied himself that Lee
ber's launch was at its mornings
then he went back to the warehouse
and Whistled softly, whereupon a man
crawled out from under the structure
and approached him. 1t was Don
Juan Cafetero.
They're all inside" he whispered
and laid finger on lip. "They got in
half an hour ago, an divil a sowl
the wiser save meself."

webster; consequently self-interest
and his sporting code whispered TO
Don Juan that It behooved him to
demonstrate his loyalty with every
means at his command, even unto his
hearts blood.
"WhO knows" he cogitated as the
launch bore him swiftly shoreward,
"but what III acquit meself with hon.

With his imagination still running
riot, Don Juan made the launch fast
to the little dock, down which he
ran straight for the warehouse, where
the Ruey mercenaries were still con-
gregated, busily wiping the factory
grease from the weapons which had
Just been distributed to them from the
packing cases. A sharp voice halted

Without further ado Don Juan
climbed into the truck. A little cit

around the drivers seat, with a mar
row slit in front through which the
latter peered out. The body of the
truck had been boxed in with the same

PORTER WRECK BLAME FIXED
Interstate Commerce Commission Re.
port Says Enginer Over
looked Signals.

Washington, March 23.-The recent
wreck at Porter, Ind, which resulted
in the. death of 81 and injury to 20
persons, the interstate commerce com.
mission bureau, on safety announces,
'agaiE calls attention to the necessity
for an automatic train control device
to be used in connection with existing
signal equipment for the purpose OF
automatically controlling the speed Of
Q train in case the engineman for any
reason fails properly to observe sig
Eals indications and to operate his
train accordingly. The bureau finds
that the failure of Engineer Long;
employed by the Michigan Central
railroad, to observe certain signals
was the cause Of the wreck. A con-
tributing cause of the wreck, the bu-
reau's report added, was the failure
of Fireman Block, also of the Michi-
gan Central train, to observe properly
the signal indication at the crossing
where the wreck occurred and to con-
vey the correct information to Engine
man Long.
