“Twist,” I said.
The Chinaman shrieked again in
pain.
“Twist harder,” I said, after a
moment.
“Helpee!” yelled Sid Kee. "Tiakee
off! Hurtee like nation!”
“Were you ever in San Francisco?’*
“No—Oaow! Killeeme! Killee me)
No hurtee so long!”
“If I promise not to hurt you, bnl
to send you back to China, then will
you tell?”
‘ ‘Less!” yelled the vanquished China
man.
“Now, Sid Kee, I am determined

did she belong to?’*
“Me no dare tell. Me gettee
killed."
“You will get killed if you don’t
tell. Was it Cka Fong?”
Sid Kee’s eyes opened wide with
astonishment.
“Yon know Cha Fong?” he ex¬
claimed.
“I did know him. I happened to
kill him. He wouldn’t do what I
told him to do. Do you take warn
ing?”
“Cha Fong! Him dead?"
“Yes he is dead. What of it?”
“Tiakee off ilons. Me tell.”
I had the irons taken off. Sid Keo
close to me and whispered:
“You know Gambok Snellee?”
“I did know him. I killed him,
loo.”
Kee. “Evleybody killed!” shouted Sid
“An 1 me no gettee killed?”
“Not if you restore Annie Ralston
in good health aud uninjured, or tell
us where she can be found.”
“Me tell," he said. “Nobodj
know Lannee Baslon. She dome me.
I hide Lannee Raslon in cave. Hen

Nobody^know but Gambok Snellee,
Cha Fong and Sid Kee. Gambok

Talmoocb. Gambok Snellee dead,
Cha Fong dead, me glivee you. Me
no want Lannee Raslon.”
“Well, by all that’s great!” saio
Captain Harwood.
Langston sat in a chair, leaning
against a table. His face was verj
white. His wide-open eyes were fixed
on Sid Kee.
“The case is plain lo me, gentle¬
men,” I said joyfully. “This fellow
is a faithful agent of Gambok Snelh
He has brought the girl to this island
and, by some connivance, he has suc¬
ceeded in getting her hidden away to
be kept in eafety until his master’s re¬
turn. His master was unfortunate
enough to meet with an experience
■»hich effectually prevented his return.
By that stroke of good fortune the girl
has been kept unharmed. But thii
f ellow deserves no credit for that. He
imply dared not harm her, for his or
’ra were explicit, Gambok Snell
'anted her himself. Aud the Engliat
girl Cha Fong was to have was Miss
Vrnold, who will soon be safe in hei
ther’s house. There is the matter
n a nutshell. Gambok Snell told m<
the Ketoto was lost with all on board,
But that is neither here nor there,
now. What we want is Annie Ral¬
ston. Is it not as I have said it?” ]
asked Sid Kee.
“Juss li’ you say,” he answered.
“And now that your masters are
dead, and yon have no feRr of punish¬
ment from them, you are willing to
give up Annie Eaiston to save your
own worthless life. Is it so?”
“Less. Me show you.”
“Lead the way,” I said. “Yon led
me to her once before; do so again.”
He led the way out of the palace.
“1 did not suppose,” I said tc
Langston and Captain Harwood,
“that a spot existed in Quiental that
my soldiers had not ransacked. But
there may be one. I believe this fel J
low is telling the truth now.”
“He would not risk his life by a lie
when he is alone in onr hands,” re¬
plied the captain.
Sid Kee led us about the same kind
o f a journey as he bad led me on the
memorable occasion of onr first meet
,ng. He did not seem to possess the
faculty of going in a straight direc¬
tion. His whole life was so crooked
that even his walk was so. He led
us np one street and down another,
all the time muttering to himself in
his gibberish. He took us toward the
sea, then away from it. Finally he
struck into a - rough street, evidently
bat little used. He went into a small
wobden house. It was then occupied
byJumars, but before the revolution
it had been the abode of Sid Kee—so
he informed ns.
We went Inside, and our guide tore
up a corner of the floor, much the
same as a terrier would tear up
wound if he knew there was a rat un
•’ er it. It had evidently not been
tken up in some time.
“How could anybody live in there?"
exclaimed Captain Harwood. “How
oould'yon feed her?”
“Seel” and Sid Kee pointed to a
small, square opening, just large
enough to pass a dish through.
We waited breathlessly until fye had
dug • hole large enough for u* to en-
THE RECORD
ter. We rushed through it. We
found ourselves in a marble-lined
room about twenty feet square, fur¬
nished comfortably, and lighted by a
lamp. A ventilating shaft rau to the
roof, giving a supply of air.
There was n small door leading
into another room, but we bad no time
nor inclination to look into it then.
Kneeling by the side of a bed,
praying, or moauiug in a low tone,
was a woman.
“Slee, Lannee Ralston," said Sid
Kee.
I rushed to her. Sbo heard us
speaking and rose to her feet. I held
out my hand to greet her. Ene
recoiled from, me and gave me a look
of entreaty. The face was the same
that I had seen with Siil Kee in San
Francisco.
“Miss Eaiston, yon are free—
saved,” I said. “We are irom San
Francisco, and have come to rescue
you. Your brother is not half a mile
away. See, here is an officer of the
United States. Come.”
She wept, but allowed herself to be
assisted out of the cellar, and walked
with us to the palace.
CHAPTER XVIII.
DEVORE THE CURTAIN DROPS.
Ten days later the captain’s gig lay
at the wharf at Quienta!, and a happy
party were about to embark in her to
board the Beaver, which Jay, with
steam up. ready to transport us at
once to Hong Kong.
“We had been delayed by the ill¬
ness of Edward Ralston, who was but
just sufficiently recovered to warrant
bis making the long journey home.
He and Annie were going to San
Francisco. Miss Ralston bad some¬
what recovered from her six months’
incarceration. Between her and Miss
Arnold a deep friendship had sprung
up—-a friendship that was to ripen and
deepen as the years went on.
Mere words aie utterly inadequate
to express the gratitude of the Ral¬
stons toward LaDgstoa and myself for
onr efforts to rescue Annie. The results
of this gratitude were afterward made
apparent to me in tho benefits Tat
moocl* received, induced by Western
influence.
As I said, the Ralstons were going
home.
Miss Arnold and I were going to
Hong Kong to meet her father. If
that gentleman raised no objections,
aud we anticipated none, we were to
be united in marriage by Mr. Avery,
aud take up our permanent residence
in the palace of Quiental. It was not
until I bad giveu my solemn promise
to return that Garn-Saak, Oso-Bark
and Bado-Ror signified their willing¬
ness for me to leave them even for a
time.
I asked Mr. Avery to accompany
me, but the old man preferred to re¬
main and take care of his people until
returned. *
we
It was doubtful just what Langston
would do. He had avowed his inten¬
tion to remain in Talmooch and assist
me in building up a nation. His
legal knowledge would prove in¬
valuable to me; but he had also fallen
desperately iu love with Annie
Eaiston, and I doubted if he would
sea her leave Hong Kong and not
accompany her. I firmly cherished
a fond hope that in the near future
they would take the step Miss Arnold
and I had resolved upon, and become
citizens of Talmoocb. I even pro¬
posed to Langston that he become my
Secretary for Foreign Affairs; and he
laughingly accepted, provided we
could obtain tho protection of the
United States Government. Ralston
promised that we should have it if
Western influence could bring it
about.
Mr. Avery, Garu-Saak and Oso
Bark bade us adieu at the wharf, and
watched us a3 we rowed toward the
Beaver. When we were safely on
board and the anchor was raised
guns were fired from the shore.
We waved farewells to our friends
on land and rapidly steamed away.
As we got farther and farther away
from Talmooch I watched tho island
through a powerful glass.
Framed in the stone setting of the}
little window in the north tower I
saw the pale, furrowed face of the old
missionary looking sadly after us.
Good, faithful friend! He deserved
all that I could do for his welfare, and
I resolved, upon my return, to sub¬
stantially reward him for his kind,
fatherly eare over Miss Arnold daring
onr long stay on the island and his
faithful assistance to me in my danger¬
ous plans.
And so I leave you. Trusting in
the future as I have always trusted,
firm in my belief that Talmooch shall
some day make for itself a name
among nations, of which both yon and
I shall be proud, I lift my hat to the
glorious stars and stripes—emblem of
liberty—that floats above me from the
masthead, and fondly, sadly, say;
Adieu 1

A Washington special says: The

May 28 is attracting world-wide atten¬
tion, and astronomers everywhere have
long been making preparations for ob¬
serving and photographing the phe¬
nomenon. Besides making the usual

Fortunately it will be possiblo to wit¬

The Johns Hopkins University ex¬

will work in unison with the United
States Naval Observatory and under
the supervision of the latter. The ob¬
servations of the Naval Observatory
will be divided among five parties. At
Pinehurst, N. C., there will be four
astronomers from Washington, under
the direction of Professor Skinner; the
Johns Hopkins party, and a party from
the Coast and Geodetic Survey, under
Professor G. A. Bauer. At Griffin,
Ga., there will be oue Naval Observ¬

PRICE OF FLOUR TUMBLED.
Chattanooga Millers Get Mad and Keduco
Price Fifty Cents For Barrel.
The cut of 50 cents on the barrel of
flour made by one of the Chattanooga
mills Thursday created a stir in the
city Friday and several hundred bar¬
rels changed hands at tho reduced
price, the millers limiting sales, how¬
ever, to any one dealer to ten barrels.
Tho cut grew out of a misunderstand¬
ing between the mills, a combination
having been formed somo time ago to
keep up the prices. One miller re¬
duced the prices and the other in a
rage cut 50 per cent lower.

etc.
On May 28th the circular shadow of
the moon cast by the sun upon the
earth, and about eighty miles in diam¬
eter, will come sweeping across the
American continent from New Orleans
to Cape Henry. Along the centre of
the path traveled by this swiftly mov¬
ing shadow the sun will bo completely
hidden for a period of about two min¬
utes, More than forty miles away, on
either side of the track the eclipse will
be partial, not total.
An eclipse of the sun that will be
visible can occur only when the moon
is new. At that time she passes ex¬
actly botwoen the earth and the sun.
According to the calculations of Pro¬
fessor Lumsden, the round black
shadow of the moon, like a great arm,
will sweep in out of space some time
after sunrise in the morning of May
28th. This gigantic arm will oome in¬
to contact with the earth somewhere
near the Revilla Gigedo islands in the
Pacilic ocean. With tremendous ve¬
locity the shadow will rush toward the
maiuland and will enter Mexico, near
Coirientes, at a speed of more than
one hundred miles a minute. In eight,
minutes it will have crossed the Rocky
Mountains, and by 7:30 central or 8:30
eastern time it will have crossod the
Gulf and entered Mexico. Then on it
will pass, over its selected path, until
it is lost again in space.
The period of totality of the eclipse
varies at different points along the
track. At tho Rocky Mountains tho
spectacle will last but about thirty
seconds, aud at New Orleaus tho peri¬
od will have been lengthened thirty
seven seconds. At Union Point,
Greene county, Ga., the center of the
path for the United States, the time of
totality will be 92 seconds, while
those who ore at the Atlantis coast,
just south of tho city of Norfolk, will
be able to continue their observations
for 105 seconds.
REEVES MAKES CONFESSION.
Deputy Auditor of the island of
Cuba Admits of Wrong
Doing.
A special from Havana says: W. H.
Reeves, deputy auditor of tho island
of Cuba, made a confession at mid¬
night Friday and gave up $4,500 given
to him by C. F. W. Neely, the arrested
financial agent of posts at Havana, to
perform certain services the day he
left. General Wood and the postal
inspectors refuse to disclose the na¬
ture of the confession, barely admit¬
ting that one has been made. It is
claimed that $1,400 more will be re¬
covered.
General Wood says that the report
from Muncie, Ind., that nearly $2,
000,000 worth of stamps have been
printed there and sent for distribution
to Cuban postoffices can be regarded
as a canard.
It i3 beiieved now that the whole
story is known aqd that the amount of
the defalcation will fall between $100,
000 and $125,000.
Hoppstad In Possession of Methueti.
Lord Roberts telegraphs the Lon¬
don war office as follows: “Kroonstad,
May 18.—Methuen entered Hoppstad
Thursday unopposed. Generals Du
prey and Daniels and forty men have
surrendered.
ENVOYS HEAR THE NEWS.
Boors Now Visiting Us Aie Informed of
<he Relief of Mafeking;.
The first intimation of tho relief of
Mafeking which came to the Boer en¬
voys now in this country was convey¬
ed to them by a reporter of the Asso¬
ciated Press, who boarded the con¬
gressional limited, upon which they
were being conveyed to Washington,
as it passed through Baltimore. Abra¬
ham Fifoher, who acted as spokesman
for the party, read the dispatches from
Pretoria and London carefully, but
without show of emotion.
“I have no comment to make at this
time,” he said.
STRIKERS SENT TO JAIL.
Two Get Terms of Six ami a Half Months
For Contempt of Court.
In the United States district court
at Little Rock Friday, Judge John A.
Williams imposed a jail sentence of
six months and thirty days uyon Guy
Miller and Alden Hayes for contempt
of couitiu boarding a street car aud
interfering with the non-union motor
man and conductor who were em¬
ployes of the court receiver now oper¬
ating the street car system.
ALL INTEREST
' IN MAFEKING
England Is Intently Watching the
Beleaguered City.
BOERS DESPERATELY RESISTED
Baden-Powell Succeeds In Beating
Them Back and His Work
Is Highly Praised.
A London special says: England
still waits with intense and almost
breathless interest for news of the re¬
lief of Mnfeking. A crowd remarkable
for the number of men in evening
dress, and including many ladies, lin¬
gered around the war office even after
midnight Thursday night hoping for
some announcement. Only reluctant¬
ly did the people disperse, when the
lobbies of the war office were finally
cleared with the word that nothing
had been received.
OnqJhing seems clear. The town
still holds out. Were it otherwise the
wires laid to the camps of the beleag¬
uers would have flashed the news.
Skeleton messages from Lourenzo
Marquos, based upon information that
leaked out at the Pretoria war office,
show that the stormers Saturday fell
into a trap. Colonel Baden-Powell
permitted them to seize one fort aud
ho then surrounded and overbore them
before the large forces near at hand
perceived the stratagem. It was thus
that Sard Eloff, President Kruger’s
grandson, and part of his command
were taken and fifty Boers killed.
The Canadian artillery contingent
of the Rhodesian force is now reported
to have reached Buluwayo May 2ud.
The distance from Buluwayo to Mafe
king is 490 miles. As the railway is
open all the way to Pitsani, twenty
eight miles from Mafeking, where
Colonel Plumer is, the Canadians may
yet take part in the relief.
General French, scouting north¬
ward, found the Boers in strong force
at Rhenoster spruit, thirty miles from
Kroonstad. General B’otha, De Larey
aud Oliver, with artillery, were hold¬
ing the position.
President Steyn, according to one
dispatch, has gone to Pretoria. An¬
other says he is a fugitive at Lindley.
Tho Free Staters are surrendering on
all sides. A dispatch from Cape Town
says that proclamations are being
printed there to be published on the
queen’s birthday, May 24th, annexing
the Free State.
One of President Steyn’s brothers,
who is a prisoner of General Brabant,
says that the Free Staters will accept
annextion. Those who took up arms
the second time, he explains, had to
do so under threats of instant death.
Five hundred rifles have been sur¬
rendered at Kroonstad in excess of
the number of Boers who have taken
the oath of allegiance. Lord Roberts
has directed the British commandeys
to receive all comers in a good spirit
and to issue to them pusso3 to go to
their farms.
General Bailer is pushing straight
ahead without opposition. He has
only lost five wounded during the
movement. Apparently ho is aiming at
Laiug's nek, which is the direct road
to the Transvaal, although he may
diverge to Botha’s pass.
Michael Davitt, according to a dis¬
patch from Lourenzo Marquez, is said
to have advised the Boers, while he
was in Pretoria, that if they could
hold out until tho presidential election
in the United States they might feel
“pretty sure of intervention.”
At Johannesburg tho women are
forming a police corps, so as to release
every man for fighting purposes at the
front.
Dr. Archer, who was at Dundee dur¬
ing the Boer occupation, asserts that
there several hundred Englishmen
serving in tho Boor forces who would
desert if assured of pardon from tho
British. The Pretoria official list of
foreigners shows 160 Englishmen who
are not fighting, but hold their resi¬
dence in the Transvaal by special per¬
mission. They arc bank clerks, en¬
gineers and shopkeepers.
DONNELLY RECEIVING! VOTE.
International Typographical Union Elects
Officers.
An Indianapolis dispatch says: Re¬
turns from the election for the officers
of tho International Typographical
Union are coming in very slowly. The
official count will not be made until
June 5tb, although the result of tho
race for president of the organization
may be known before that time.
President Donnelly has received by
wire. the vote in some of the larger
cities, but will not give them out and
says the figures he has received are of
no value in deteimining tho final re
Blllt.

BOERS MEET REBUFF
Fresident McKinley Refuses To
Offioially Recognize Them.
ALSO TURNED DOWN IN TIIE SENATE
Altogether the Laudable Mission of the
Peace Envoys Seems To Bo
ft Flat Failure.
A Washington special says: Contrary
to general expectation, the Boer peace
envoys were given a definite answer
Monday afternoon to their request that
this government intervene in behalf of
the two struggling republics. President
McKinley, through his secretary of
state, informed them that this govern¬
ment had done everything looking to¬
ward intervention or mediation that it
proposed to do. The faot that any
further efforts on their part to secure
action by this government would be
futile was carried home to the Boer
delegates in a way that apparently
leaves no hope for them.
Turee of the Boer delegates wont to
the state department at about half-past
2 o’clock, and were closeted with Sec¬
retary Before Hay for just about an hour.
their conference was completed,
Lord Pauncefote, the British ambassa¬
dor, put in an appearance on the 6ceuo
and immediately after the departure
of the Boers from the secretary’s room,
he was ushered into Secretary Hay’s
presence. The secretary and the am¬
bassador had a talk of perhaps ten
minutes, and then the secretary went
over to the white house. He was with
the president half an hour. Return¬
ing to the statemnt depart, he gave out
a statement setting forth in full his re¬
ply to the delegates.
TUBNED DOWN BY SENATE.
Senator Allen introduced a resolu¬
tion extending to the visiting Boer
delegates the privileges cf the floor of
the senate, which was tabled when it
came up, the vote upon the motion to
table being almost entirely a party
vote. Senators Allen, Mason and
Tillman made strong speeches in favor
of the adoption of the resolution, con¬
tending that it was simply in line with
all precedents. In the course of his
speech Senator Tillman declared:
“Now yon can see wbat a change
has come over us as a people. When
Kossuth came here two great Republi¬
cans in congress fought to have him
recognized. Today the Republicans
on this floor are cowards—cowards, I
say, truckling to England and they
have disgraced the United States by
their miserable, sneaking action.”
BULLETS FOR RIOTERS.
A Boy Killed; Three Men and a Girl
Wounded In St. LouU,
One boy was killed and three men
and a girl were wounded Monday as a
result of the strike in St. Louis.
Martin Zika, eighteen years of age,
was struck in the left breast by a bul¬
let fired from a street car, and Con
ductai- Farley and Motorman Joseph
Drake have been placed under arrest
charged with the killing.
The wounded are: Clarence E. Mul¬
len, motorman, shot in upper portion
of left arm; Minnie Krueger, eighteen
years of age, struck in left thigh by a
glancing bullet.
Two rioters, seen to fall during a
fight at Thirteenth and Herbert streets
between a mob of 250 men and the po¬
lice, were carried sway by their friends
and their names could not be learned.
Zika was shot while standing in
the door of his home. A mob of sev¬
eral hundred men had surrounded a
car on the Tower Grove line and were
threatening the conductor and motor
man. A few stones had been thrown
when a shot was fired from the car, the
bullet striking Zika full in the breast.
He died within a few minutes.

Hon. W. L. Chambers, of Alabama,
ex-chief justice of Samoa, occupied

This sermon by a layman dealing
