CHAPTER XX. ( Continued. )
We had no time to waste in abusing
the Colonel ; the question was how to
outwit him. I unfolded my plan to the
Signorina , not at all disguising from her
tbe difficulties , and even dangers , attend
ant upon it. Whatever may have been
her mind before and after , she was at
this moment either so overcome with her
fear of the Colonel , or so carried away
by her feeling for me , that she made noth
ing of difficulties and laughed at dangers ,
pointing out that though failure would
be ignominious , it could not substantially
aggravate our present position.
"Are you going to take any of the
money away with you ? " she asked.
"No , " said I , "I don't think so. It
would considerably increase the risk if I
were seen hanging about the bank ; j-ou
know he's got spies all over the place.
Besides , what gpod would it do ? I
couldn't stick to it , and I'm not inclined
to run any more risks merely to save the
bank's pocket. The bank hasn't treated
me so well as all that. I propose to rely
on your bounty till I've time to turn
round. Now , shall I come for you ? " I
asked her when we had arranged the other
details.
"I think not , " she said. ' i believe the
Colonel has one of my servants in his
pay. I can slip out by myself , but I
couldn't manage so well if you were with
me. The sight of you would excite cu
riosity. I will meet you at the bottom of
Liberty street. "
"At two o'clock in the morning exactly ,
please. Don't come through the Piazza
and Liberty street. Come round by the
drive. " ( This was a sort of boulevard
encircling the town , where the aristocracy
was wont to ride and drive. ) "Things
ought to be pretty bus yabout the bank
by then , and no one will notice you. You
have a revolver ? "
"Yes. "
"All right. Don't hurt anyone if you
can help it ; but if you do , don't leave
him to linger in agony. Nojr I'm off , " I
continued. "I suppose I'd better not come
and see you again ? "
"I'm afraid you mustn't , .Tack. You've
been here two hours already. "
"I shall be in my rooms in the after
noon. If anything goes wrong , send your
carriage down the street and have it
stopped at the grocer's. I shall take that
for a sign. "
The Signorina agreed , and we parted
tenderly. My last words were :
"You'll send that message to Whitting-
ham at once ? "
"This moment , " she said , as she waved
ttc a kiss from the door of the room.
CHAPTER XXI.
I was evidently in for another day as
unpleasantly exciting as the one I had
spent before the revolution , and I reflect
ed sadly that if a man once goes in for
things of that kind , it'.s none so easy to
pull ' up. Luckily , however. I had sevsral
things to occupy me , and was not left to
fret the day away in idleness. First I
turned my steps to the harbor. As I
went < I examined my pockets and found a
sum total of nine hundred and fifty del
lars. This was my all , for oblate I had
deemed it wise to carry my fortune on
my person. Well , this was enough for
the present : the future must take care of
itself. So I thought to myself as I went
ilong with a light heart , my triumph in
love easily outweighing all the troubles
and dangers that beset me. Only land me
safe out of Aureataland with the Sig-
aorina by my side , and I asked nothing
acre of fortune I Let the dead bury their
lead , and the bank look after its dollars !
Thus musing , I came to the boat house
jvhere my launch lay. She was a tidy
ittle boat , and had the advantage of be
ing workable by one man without any
lifficulty. All I had to arrange was how
embark on her unperceived. I sum
moned the boatman in charge and ques-
ioned him closely about the probable state
the weather. He ardently assured
it would be fine but < lark.
"Very well , " said I. " . - 11 go fishing ; a

The man was rather astonished at my

isked. !
"I want her ready by two , " said I. titl

I privately hoped that not even the sen-
ries would be about , but I didn't say so.
"Of course , sir , I shall lock the gate , tl
tou've got your key ? "
"Yes , all right , and here you are and tc
nuch obliged for your trouble. " tcI.
Highly astonished and grateful at re- I.m

vas profuse in promising to make every
irrangemenx. for my comfort. Even when B
asked for a few cushions , he dissem-
led his scorn and agreed to put them in. m
"And mind you don'i sit up , " I said as n
left : him. yn
"I'm not likely to sit up if I'm not n
ibliged , " he answered. "Hope you'll have
oed sport , sir. " dr
From the harbor I made my way drgi
traisbt to the Golden House. The Colo- gi
rather surprised to cc
was see me again
soon , but when I told him I came on
lasiness ; , he put his occupations on one cc
and listened to me. " 1
I began with some anxiety , for if he d (
lUfrected my good faith all would be lost.
Jowever , I was always a good band at a his

"Pray he calm , " said I. "You didn't
let me finish ! "
"Let you finish ! " he cried. "You seem
to think jabber does ever } thing. The end
of it all is , that either you give me the
money , or I take it and if you interfere ,
look out ! "
"That is just what I was going to pro
pose , if you hadn't interrupted me , " I said
quietly , but with inward exultation , ior I
saw he was just in the state of mind to
walk eagerly into the trap I was prepar
ing for him.
"What do you mean ? " he asked.
I explained to him that it was impossi
ble for me to give up the money. My
reputation was at stake ; it was my duty
to die in defense of that
money a duty
which , I hastened to add , I entertained
no intention of performing.
"But , " I went on , "although I am
bound not to surrender the money , I am
not bound ( o anticipate a forcible seizure
of it. In times of disturbance parties of
ruffians often turn to plunder. Not even
the most rigorous precautions can guard
against it. Xow it would be very possi
ble that even to-night a band of such
marauders might make an attack on the
bank , and carry off all the money in the
safe. "
"Oh ! " said the Colonel , "that's the
game , is it ? "
"That , " I replied , "is the game ; and a
very neat game , too , if you play it prop
erly. "
"And what will they say in Europe ,
when they hear
the Provisional govern
ment is looting private property ? "
"My dear Colonel , you force me to
much explanation. You will , of course ,
not appear in the matter. "
"I should like to be there , " he remark
ed. "If I weren't , the men mightn't
catch the exact drift of the thing. "
"You will be there , of course , but in
cognito. Look here , Colonel , it's as plain
as two peas. Give out that you're going
to reconnoiter the coast and keep an eye
on The Songstress. Draw off your com
panies from the Piazza on that pretense.
Then take fifteen
or twenty men you can
trust not more , for it's no UM > asking
more than you can help , and resistance is
out of the question. About two , when everything - |
erything is quiet , surround the bank.
Jones will open when you knock. Don't P
hurt him , but take him outsiae and keep
him quiet. Go in and take the money.
Here's the key to the safe. Then , if you
like , set fire to the place. "
"Bravo , my boy ! " said the Colonel.
"There's stuff in you after all And what f
are you going to get out of it ? I suppose -
pose that's coming next ? "
As the reader knows , I wasn't going
ol
to get anything out of it , except myself
and the Signorina. But it wouldn't dote
to tell the Colonel that ; he would not be
lieve in disinterested conduct. So I bargained - m
gained with him for thirty thousand dollars
lars , which he promised so readily that I
strongly doubted whether he ever meant re
hi
to pay it.
"Do you think there's any danger of
WhittSngham making an attack while in
we're engaged on the job ? " alfie
fie
The Colonel was , in common parlance ,
getting rather warmer than I liked. It
do
was neccssarv to mislead him. .
"I don't think so , " I replied. "He [
can't possibly have organized much of a
party here yet. There's some discontent -
tent , no doubt , but not enough for himw
to rely on. "
"There's plenty of discontent , " said the
Colonel.
"There won't be in a couple of hours. "
" " Co
"Why not ?
"Why , because you're going down to
the barracks to announce a fresh install
ment of pay to the troops to-morrow be
morning a handsome installment. " ah
"Yes , " said he thoughtfully , "that ought pe
to keep them quiet for one night. Fact Oi
is , they don't care twopence either for me
or Whittinsham ; and if they think they'll
get more out of me they'll stick to me. "
ti Of course , " I assented. Indeed , it was ne
true enough as long as the President was ou
not on the spot ; but I thought privately , iuj
that the Colonel did not allow enough for
his rival's personal influence and pres of
tige , if he once got face to face with the na
troops. )00 )
"Yes , " the Colonel went on , "I'll do ap
that , and what's more , I'll put the people alPO
ir good humor by sending down orders
for a free social in the Piazza to-night. " PO
"Delightfully old-fashioned and baronial sei
nial , " I remarked. "I think it's a good of )
idea. Have a bonfire and make it com to

dreams of any attempt , but it will make en
the riot even more plausible. " for
"At any rate , they'll all be too jolly

"Well , that's about all , isn't it ? " said md
. "I shall be off. I've got to write to rlF
my directors and ask instructions for the beep )
investment of the money. " op
"You'll live to be hanged. Martin , "
said the Colonel , with evident admiration.

The Colonel's greed had triumphed over the
wits , and he had fallen into my snare nei
with greater readiness than I could have for
hoped. The question remained , What sto
would the President do when he got the
Signorina's letter ? It may conduce to
better understanding of the position if I
what that letter was. She gave it
yoi
to read after had compiled
over , we -
i-ho
together , and I etill have my 00517. It
tre
ran as follows :
"
"I can hardly hope yon will traat ma

but if you can leave her at anchor and
land in a boat there will be no suspicion.
Do not punish me more by disbelieving
me. CHRISTINA.
"P. S. M. and the C. are on bad
terms , and M. will not be active against
you. "
Upsn the whole I thought this would
bring him. I doubted whether he would
believe very much in it , but it looked
probable. Again , he was BO fond of a
bold stroke , and so devoid of fear , that
it was very Lkely he would come and
see if it were true. If , as we suspected ,
he already had a considerable body of ad
herents on shore , he could land and re
connoiter without very great danger of
falling into the Colonel's hands. Finally ,
even if he didn't come , we hoped the let
ter would be enough to divert his atten
tion from any thought of fugitive boats
and runaway lovers.
To my mind it is nearly as difficult
to be consistently selfish as to be abso
lutely unselfish. I had , at this crisis , ev
ery inducement to concentrate all my
efforts on myself , but I could not get
Jones out of my head. It was certainly
improbable that Jones would try to resist
the marauding party : but neither the
Colonel nor his chosen band was likely to
be scrupulous , and it was impossible not
to see that Jones might get a bullet
through his head ; indeed , I fancied such
a step would rather commend itself to the
Colonel , as giving a bona fide look to
the affair. Jones had often been the cause
of great inconvenience to me , but I didn't
wish to have his death on my conscience ,
so I was very glad when I happened to
meet him on my way back from the Gold
en House , and seized the opportunity of
giving him a friendly hint.
I took him and sat him down beside me
on a bench in the Piazza. I was in no
way disturbed by the curious glances of
the three soldiers who were evidently
charged to keep an eye on the bank and
my dealings with it.
I began by pledging Jones to absolute
secrec3 % and then I intimated to him , in
a roundabout way , that the Colonel and
I were both very apprehensive of an at
tack on the bank.
"The town , " said I , "is in a most un
settled condition , and many dangerous
characters are about. Under these cir
cumstances I have felt compelled to leave
the defense of our property in the hands
of the government. I have formally in
timated to the authorities that we shall
hold them responsible for loss
any occa
sioned to us by public disorder. The
Colonel , in the name of the government ,
has ! : accepted that responsibility. I there
fore , desire to tell you , Mr. Jones , that in
the lamentable event of any attack on the
bank it will not be expected of yon to
expose your life by resistance. Such a
sacrifice would be both uncalled for and
useless ; and I must instruct you that the
government , insists that their measures
shall not be put in danger of frustration
by any rash conduct on our part. I am
unable to'be at the bank this evening ;
but. in the event of any trouble you will
oblige : me by not attempting to meet force
bj force. You will yield , and we shall
rely on our remedy against the govern
ment in case of loss. "
These instructions so fully agreed with
the natural bent of Jones' mind that he
readily acquiesced in them and expressed
high appreciation of my foresight.
"Take care of yourself and Mrs. Jones ,
my , ; . dear fellow , " I concluded r "that It
al you have to do , and I shall be satis
fied. "
I parted from him affectionately , won
dering if my path in life would ever cross
the ' honest , stupid old fellow's again , and
heartily honing that his fortune would
soon , take him out of the rogue's nest in
which he had been dwelling.

ESERVING THE FORESTS.
Conserving- Streams Ity Means of the
Forest Keserves.
The destruction of our forests has
been going on at so great a rate as to
Uarm the public mind and prepare the
oeople to accept some remedy , says
Dutiiig.
The interests of irrigation and navi-
jation have called attention to the
iccessity of preserving the sources of
ur water course by retaining or restor-
the forests from which they flow.
Fortunately many millions of acres
wooded lands are still held by the
lational government , and about 83,000-
( acres of these lands have been set
ipart ; in eighty-three permanent nation- l
forest reserves. The primary pura
lose ! of these reservations is to con o
serve the streams and provide means s
irrigation and also , in some degree , o
influence the rainfall. They are well It
scattered in tbe far west aad are gen
erally upon land which is of little value tl
agricultural uses.
They are reserved for the use of man
not reserved from his use. Tbe

needed. There has been much local

almost o score of hi ?
colleagues , the Soutl
Carolinan in whar
purported to be a re

question became su of
fensive that the Sen
ate later sat in execu
tive session and ex
punged some of bis
most objectionable re
marks from the rec
ord as being beneath
the dignity of the
Senate.
B. B. TILLMAN. At the very begin
ning of his address Senator Tillman ,
launching into personalities , drew a satir
ical picture of the Senate as a minstreJ
show. In the character of Pitchfork Ben
he characterized himself as one of the
end men in the show , while opposite him ,
at the other end , was playing Senatoi
Spooner , a "juggler of international repu
tation , " who also sang "bass , alto , so
prano or tenor and was superb in any
role. " The minstrel circle between he
peopled with other Senators who have
spoken on the negro affair.
After completing this picture the Sen
ator suddenly became serious and with
frenzied and fervid oratory repeated re
marks he had previously made on the sub
ject of lynching negroes.
He prefaced his defense of lynching
with this declaration : "It is but my na
ture to be blunt and outspoken and I
have never taught my tongue the art of
double dealing , and if there is an vice in
man I abhor more than any other it is
hypocrisy. "
Mr. Spooner followed and denied that
he held malice toward Mr. Tillman and
thought his colleague would regret his
words when he saw them in print.
Senator Carmack of Tennessee said. ,
that in all of his experience in the Senate
he had never heard a speech so studiously
offensive as that of Mr. Tillman. He re
ferred to the fact that he had been in
cluded in the South Carolina Senator's
criticism , saying that Mr. Tillman'a
strictures on him had been without prov
ocation.
"It is with no feeling of resentment I
say with respect to some men that it is
their misfortune rather than their fault
that they do not know how to speak fhe
language of courtesy and good breeding , "
he said.
United States Senator Tillman said
Birmingham , Ala. , that President Roosevelt
velt had no business discharging the negro
troops at Brownsville , as he doubted very
much if the President was vested with
authority to take that action.
Postmaster General Cortelyou has an
nounced definitely his decision to resign
as chairman of the Republican national
committee March 4 , when he expects to
take the treasury portfolio. It is un
derstood that he will be succeeded by
Harry New of Indianapolis.
The Nebraska government ownership
league was organized at Omaha , with the
intention of extending its operations
over the entire country for the purpose 6

of advocating the acquisition of all rail t
roads by the Uuited States government.
A Populist leaderM. . F. Barrington , was
made president.
The frank admission made by Secre
tary of War Taft that , though he was
not seeking the presidential nomination ,
he should not decline the opportunity to
run for that great office , has precipitated a
the long-expected fight to a finish be
tween the administration and Foraker
factions in the Republican party in Ohio.
Notwithstanding that the New York
Democratic Attorney General , Jackson ,
through a court order , had obtained pos
session of the boxes containing the bal
lots cast in the mayoralty election of
1D05 , Mayor McCIoIlan of New York
again obstructed action by securing a stay
Df action from another judge. At the
ame : time a bill providing for A recount
sf : the votes was introduced in the Legis
lature.
A majority of the State committee of
the New York Independence League lias
joposed Max Ihnisen. the Hearst repre-
H-ntative , as chairman and has declared
for autonomy and against control by in- 9i
orporators. The movement was headed i
by Timothy F. DrisroII. who said the o
purpose was to run the league as a regu- os oh
ar political party. The executive com s
mittee , however , would not recognize the g
lulhority of the Drift-oil acts. V
Twenty-eight "members of the Texas n
of Representatives have joined in
ntroducing a resolution calling for a °

HERE are a host of oetty ailments
T which are the direct result of the
weather. t
This is more true of the excessive beat
-of summer and the intense cold of win
ter , but is partly true of all seasons of
the year.
Whether it be a cold or a couh. ca
tarrh of the head or bowel complaint ,
whether the liver be affected cr the kid
neys , the cause is very liable to be the
same.
The weather slightly deranges the
mucous membranes of the crjrans and
the result is some functional disease.
Peruna has become a standby in
thousands of homes for minor ail'

Married in Handcuff * .
The unusual spectacle of a bride
groom appearing at the altar hand
cuffed has been seen , according to a
contemporary , at Monthey , an Italian
village. The bridegroom , an Italian ,
was undergoing a long sentence for bur
glary , and recently prevailed upon the
governor of the prison , to whom he
stated he had committed the crime for
the ] sake of his fiancee , to allow him to
marry. Two gendarmes in uniform act
ed -witnesses and guardians at the
same time. At the church door the
Foung bride and bridegroom parted
heary hearts.
Long engagements are rather expensive
affairs In Russia. The bridegroom-elect
h expected to scad his fiancee a present
every day.
