foe. Captain Wilson with the advance
guard pressed on in hot pursuit of King
Lobengula wheu it would have been more
prudent to bait for re-enforcement from
the main body, from which it had been sep
arated by a river swollen by a sudden rain
fall. General Custer' own impetuosity
and contempt for a savage foe were repro
duced with the same disastrous conse
quences.
The Matabeles threw Captain Wilson off
bis guard by conducting a disorderly re
treat and thereby encouraging him to be
lieve that they would not (wit, but would
scatter in the bush. Then when his 34 troop
ers were In pursuit of the main body, and
the capture of the king seemed a matter of
only a few hours of hard riding, forces of
savages concealed on the right and the left
closed in upon them and cut oil retreat.
When the troopers were fairly entrapped,
the king's warriors faced about and madea
determined stand iiMn high ground. Cap
tain Wilson's followers, surrounded by
swarms of savages, perished like (ieneral
Custer's cavalrymen. They used their car
bines as long as they bad a cartridge left,
and then fought hopelessly, but gallantly,
with revolver and saber. Closer became
the onset, until every wounded and dying
- Englishman wasfuce to facewith hundreds
of merciless savages. When the last man
was dead, the bodies were stripped bare and
horribly mutilated.
Captain Wilson was a Hcotchmnn and
was 87 years of age at the tlineof his death.
He was a great athlete in his youth, and in
1878 he went to Cape Colony, joined the
mounted police and served In the campaign
against the Galkas and Gulekas. IIo also
fought in the liosuto war and distinguished
himself by bis daring conduct. In fact ex
cessive bravery was Captain. Wilson's chief
fault and ultimately caused his death.

drops of bis blood must be placed over

Divine Hervlce by Telephone.
The moyor of Nottingham, accom

recently attended divine service in
novel fashion. The meeting house was
the locul exchange of the National Tele

which they participated was conducted
at Christ church, Iiirminglmin, fifty-one
miles away, the communication being
of course by telephone.
They sat on each side of the long
table on which thirty receivers were
placed, while at the church end were
eight transmitters two in the belfry,
two in the choir, two in the reading
desk, and two in the pulpit, switched on
and off as exigencies required an ar

a clear voice nnu deliberate utterance,
was very audible, and his sermon was

KNOWS WHAT A DRUG STORE IS FOR,
A Modest Chlcagnun Who Asks For What
He Wants.
The popular belief that a drug store is
sort of house of cull for the miscellaneous
accommodation of the public seems to ob
tain In the World's fair city as generally as
elsewhere if we may believe this little in
cident related in the Chicago Kccord: One
day a man went into a drugstore onOgden
avenue and began to look anxiously about
him. ' Got u phone!"' be asked.
The druggist pointed to a corner behind
tne prescription case, mid the man stepped
over to ring the bell, lie had some trouble
in getting central, so becomplalned severa
times in a loud tone and asked if the phone
was in order. The druggist said it was.
Finally the man foil ml his number. He
leaned against the phone ami had the fol
lowing one sided conversation:
"Hello, is that your" "Out on Ogden
avenue" ".Say, how about t hat matter? "
"You know what I told you yesterday I
can't do it; there are some people standing
around here." (The druggist moved up to-

listening to a private conversation.) "Huhf
Tonightf" "All right." The .man then
walked I ack to the stove and warmed him
self. "Where's your directory!" he asked.
The druggist pointed to a showcase where
the book lay. Before the man opened the
book he looked at the hock and said,
"Humph! 'to," as though some one had
imposed on hliu. For a few minutes he
turned the leaves. Then he found what he
wanted. "Have yon got a knife!" he asked.
The druggist pulled out a pearl handled
knife, opened it and gave it to him.
"I never could remember that party's
name," he remarked in a patronizing way.
Thereupon be cut the name out of the di
rectory, returned the knife without closing
it and made a quick dash for the door, for
Jus then he beard the approaching jlngleof
a horse car. And the druggist, as be re
placed the knife, merely smiled the tired,
wan smile of a man who has trouble of his
own. Had the man at the phone ever seen

it for gran tod that every drug store was a

Mr. Fenwicku, then one of the wealthi
est citizens, and perhaps the very most
influential one in Buvuiinali, was known
to the British authorities as a stanch
and uncompromising friend to the home
government, a man upon whom they
could safely roly for both sympathy and
material aid in any scheme to advance
their interests. Of course there wore
other Tories in the city, all of them well
known to Mr. Fenwicku, and the first
thing Muyuurd did was to influence
Feuwicke to call a secret meeting of
these at his house.
The readers will now quickly under
stand why Roso forced her lover from
the house; for ut that very time the Tory
meeting was in session in u back room.
The girl's good sense told her that if
Lieut Prescott should discover her fa
ther's connection with a treasonable
transaction it would be the young man's
duty to have him arrested forthwith, and
the result might bo most terrible, for just
at that particular point in the progress
of the revolutionary struggle the bitter
est hatred of the Tories was nursed by
the American soldiery.
Muyuard disclosed to the little knot of
Tories huddled in that closely blinded
rear room that Lieut. Col. Archibald
Campbell was then on his way from
Sandy Hook with a fleet bearing an army
sent by Hir Henry Clinton to take and oc
cupy Savannah. Accidentally Rose over
heard this, and became aware of what
was going on.
The mansion hod been darkened to
prevent visitors from dropping in, and
all the proceedings of the conspirators
were conducted with the utmost caution.
Knowing that Lieut. Prescott wus ab
sent on picket or outpost duty, Rose hud
not dreamed of his coming, when sud
denly his rap resounded on the door.
One thought that of preventing the
young man from discovering her father's
connection witti a plot for delivering the
city over to the enemy drove every
thing else from her head.
When he was gone she stood just in
side tho door, her lieart beating wildly
and her brain reeling with the excite
ment of the occasion. At heart she was

with the struggle for independence; but
she loved her father, and could not bear
the thought of having him arrested as a
Tory ami a traitor. Now that he was safe
for the time, the strain of the situation
relaxed as suddenly as it had come on
and she was too weak to stand. She tot

and then fell upon a sofa, nervel-ss and

the British.
Maynurd had left the house but a few
minutes before Lieut. Prescott knocked.
Indeed it had seemed I Rose that the
former must have been ut the gate when
tho lutter entered. She wondered if this
were so, and if the lieutenant would sus
pect what had been going on. One by
one the contpirntors left the house and
went their way. What they had deter
mined upon is not known, save that some
plau was agreed to which Maynard re
garded as of probable value in aid of
Lieut. Col. Archibald Campbell's project
for taking the city.
All were gone, and tho Fen wicko house

Maynard suddenly returned gashed and
bleeding from a long, deep wound across
the sido of his handsome face.-
"A confounded rebel officer," he said
"ran against mo just out yonder. Fetch
a surgeon us soon as possible or 1 shall
bleed to death.
Servants were culled.
"Be careful in this matter," Maynurd
managed to murmur betore he reel
into a chair. "Remember that there is
danger if I am suspected danger for yon
all. Don tget a a rob rebel surgeon,
be gasped, "but be bo quick!"
The blood was flowing freely, saturat
ing his clothes. He was us white as a
dead man. Tho household was alarmed
in two ways, for Maynard appeared
about to die, and that of itself was ter
rible Beyond this lay the danger of
having a British spy in the house, which
was tho greatest of all crimes just then,
There was no time for hesitation, how
ever. A servant went posthaste in
search of a surgeon, while others bore
Maynard up to a secluded room and put
him to bed with a bandage rouu I his

The wound proved not so bad after
all. "Ho will be himself nguin in less

Meanwhile Lieut. Prescott lay where

his sword under him and one arm out

that cmnhusized the dark walls and

and made the stillness and silence seem

How flare you learned

7int lo a lid
Doubtless it is impossible at this time
to look back and understand with any
degree of realization the peculiar situa
tion in which Rose Fenwicke found her
self when she had sufficiently recovered
from the evening's excitement to take a
somewhat calm view of what had trans
pired. In the seclusion of her-chamber
she thought it all over, with the rapidly
growing impression that it was her duty
to go straightway to the headquarters
of the little American garrison and make
known to the commanding officer the
plot being arranged to betray the city.
But a often as she turned tins in her
mind the connection of her father with
the treasoiajble affair startled her Mid
rp.ade.anr disclosure appear impossible.
Hho slept none that night, Indeed she
scarcely thought of sleep. Her nerves
were wrought to high tension and her
whole nature was absorbed in the con
sideration of a plan for bulking Maynard
(lid his allies. Strange that it should
have been nearly tho lust hour of the
night before a thought, which might
(under a less struin of excitement) have
been suggested at once by Maynurd s re
mark, came umjii her mind with almost
stunning suddenness.
The wounded man upon entering the
house hud said that he hud been hurt by
a roliel ofllcer. Why had she not thought
of Prescott? It was so plain now that
it was he who cut that gush. They
must have met in the street and fought
there. Instantly tho dreadful question
arose, Was Lieut. Prescott hurt? Then
sho remembered thut she hud heard two
pistol shots ring out clear and keen
through the foggy night air. Her heart
stopwd short for awhile, to presently leap
into her throat with almost suffocating
throbs. ith that swift and vivid reudi
ness coilimon to young and imaginative
mind, her fancy pictured her lover Iviuif
dead with upturned tace In the moon
light. A cold chill crept over her and
lior limbs shook us with an ague. Loud
and clear the cocks i.i the bock court
crowed out the hour of dawn. She sprang
up, threw on her clothes and passed out
into the street. As if by some unerring
intuition she went directly to the spot
where Prescott and Maynurd had fought,
There were deep murks of the struggle
in tho sand, and some streaks and dashes
of blood were visible in the gray chill

surrounding space; then nunc a great re
liefa sense of escape from u burden of
horrible dread. A drum rolled -out the
morning cull at the little American camp
With but a moment's hesitation she
went swiftly on in the direction of the
sound, and wus soon face to face with the
sentinel in front of the officers' quarters.
I wish to see Gen. Howe, she said
abruptly. f
The sentinel called the officer of the
guard, a corporal, who came forward in
a moment.
Well, iiiaduin," he demanded, doffing
his well worn cap, "what is it yon wish?"
'I must see Gen. Howe.
'Sorry I am that he's uot here, madam.
but he is not. He is ut the Tittmill man
sion.
"Then could I see the next officer in
charge?"
"Col. Huger is here, madam,"
"Tell him 1 have something important
to say to him.
Leaving her with the sentinel the cor
poral turned about und wulked away. In
a few minutes he came back, and bidding
her follow led the way to a small house
surrounded by tents. Col. Huger, who
had just risen and hastily dressed him
self, received her in a small, plainly fur
nished room which was well saturated
with the fumes of tobucco. He wus very
polite and kind in his manner, but ut
first did not recognize her.
"It is because 1 could not help it that
I have come here, she hurriedly liegan.
"There is a plot to betray the city into
the enemy s hands. A fleet is already
on the way here from Sandy Hook, and
there is now in Savunnuh mi emissary of
the British going about among the To
nes.
The colonel recognized her while she
was siieakiug, and the slightest shade of
perplexity gathered on his eyes. She wus
beautiful. and her embarrassment height
ened the effect of her face.
Yon are Miss Fenwicke, I believe,"
lie said, with grave courtesy.
She nodded and the color slipped out
of her cheoks.
"How have you learned whut you tell
me?" he inquired, fixing his eyes steadily
anon Isys.
She shrunk and looked down, but pres
ently her native courage asserted itself.
She returned his gaze steadily with clear,
innocent eyes, while the rwy flush came
slowly up into her face aguin.
"You must not insist upon thut ques
tion," she answered: "for 1 cannot tell
you. You may be sure that 1 have it
from the direvtest channel of informa
tion. The British will land to-morrow
or the next day."
She arose to go.
"And the emissary, who is he and
where is he?" demanded the colonel.
"1 cunuot tell you."
"You must!"
"1 will not."
The colonel's face relaxed almost to a
smile.
"Very well," he suid. "Sergeant, tuke
a carriage and drive this lady to her
home."
A young red headed officer cuino out
of an adjoining room und bowed.
"Get a carriage," repeated the colonel,
and when the man was gone he turned
to Rose and said:
"It is scarcely possible that your in
formation is reliable, but I will honor
it, coming from you. 1 am surprised
that you bring it to us, but I am all the
more proud of your patriotism."
She knew that he was thinking of her
father and connecting bin with the
conspiracy.
How strong is the force of the Brit
ish reported to be?" ho inquired after a
few seconds of silence, "and who commanded?"
'It is a strong force under Lieut.-Col.
Archibald Campbell and Commodore
Parker."
"When did it sail from Sandy Hook?"
"On the 27th of November."
"Did you hear what troops they have?"
"The Seventy-first regiment of foot.
four battalions of Provincials, two of
Hessians and u detachment of artillery."
Ho looked at her in surprise. Her
memory seemed absolutely clear and
ready. Somehow the sincerity und dig
nity of her bearing and the extreme
beauty of her face gave singular force
to her statements. Ho knew that her
father was a bitter Tory; at least that
was tho well grounded belief of every
body, and it seemed strange, indeed.
that this, his only child, should come as
the bearer of such information.
Of course the colonel's first thought
was the suspicion that .Mr. Fenwicke
must be deeply concerned in th.t conspiracy.
ino sergeant had returned at this mo
ment und was standing uncovered in the
doorway, his red hair shining and hii
freckled face beaming with good nature.
The carnage is readv. Col. Huger,"
he suid, saluting.
Rose, after bidding the colonel good
morning, turned and followed the ser
geant, who gallantly handed her intc
he carnage and bade the negro drivel
follow her directions.
Before reaching the Fenwicke man
sion Rose ordered the driver to stop the
eluele, and she got out to hmsh the dis
tance on foot, not wishing any of the
household to see her in Col. Huger' car
riage, which would be sure to provoke
awkward inquiries.
Fortunately neither her going out nor
her coming in was observed, and she
made her way to her room, where ho
flung herself down exhausted, soon fall
ing asleep.
No sooner w:is Rose gone from his
presence than Col. Huger ordered hi
horse and galloped to the Tatnall resi
dence to see Gen. Howe and advise him
of what she bad told. Toe general dis
missed the matter with a few words,
saying curtly that he placed no reliance
in a story which on it face was simply
preposterous.
"How could an emissary outstrip a
Moot?' lie inquired. "If the British
sailed from Handy Hook last month
how could this supposed spy know It
Don't you see how utterly ridiculous the
whole thing Is.'
Col. linger had come flushed a trifle
with the effect produced by Rose's noble
bearing and bewitching face. He went
back but half convinced that the general
was right in giving no heed to her
warning.
One, two, three duys, a week, two
weeks went by without any apparition
of a British fleet. The general had not
iinfrequeutly laughed at Col. Huger
about his belief in the story of the old
Tory's daughter, und the colonel in turn
had come to look buck to the singular
little affair as something inexplicable.
Lieut. Prescott, after lying some dayi
at the house of a friend who had chanced
to find him und tuke him in, recovers
from the stunning bruises received from
the brutnl kicks of the giant Maynard,
and returned to camp before the expira
tion of his release from duty.
Meantime Maynard's wound healed so
rapidly that within ten days the gush
had changed to a slender purple scar
slantwise across bis left cheek. So care
ful were the Fenwickes and so closely
did they keep their secret thut no sus
spicion of the Englishman' presence in
the house over went abroad in the town
Rose heard of Lieut. Prescott frequent
ly through tier friends, but ho came no
more to see her, nor did he send her any
of those tender messages thut lent such
bnghtness to her life for months pust.
She felt the reason for this and could not
blame him, for in her memory the act of
driving mm from the house lingered
with all the ngly features that her im
agination could lend to it, and she de

"Whom do you find the most dilllcnlt
witness to take!" was ssked of A. M. Grif-
fen, one of the oldest court reportei-s.
Uecidedly a woman with n grievance,"
lie readily replied. "A Pole in a passion is
hud; an Irishman denouncing an enemy is
equally so; a German speaking broken
r.nglisli is a terror; a frenchman rendering
meaningless his words by ejaculations is
still more deplorable; hut none of these can
hold a candle to a woman with a griev
ance. II nam VW-ller had ever happened
to have been a reporter he would have
overlooked the widow and warned his
friends to beware of a woman with a griev
ance, liy the way, I can always tell the
profession of it man by the manner in which
he gives his testimony. The real estate
man, the actor, the traveling man, the
doctor all carry their professions with
them into the witness box." Chicago Her

Hears Like Turtle Eggs.
In the spring the female loggerhead
comes ashore and scoops out a pit with her
hind legs in the sand on the south side of
a shoal. Then sue lays trom im to zuj
eggs in the hole and covers them up again
with the sand, leaving them to be hatched
by the beat of the sun. Hears are ever so
fond of turtle eggs of all sorts, and they
dig up the nests wherever they can find
Iheui, goholmg amazing quantities.
1 have known as many us thirteen nests
to be robbed by a single bear in one night.
As soon tia they are hatched the young
ones sou I vie into t lie water. Crabs, fishes
and shelltuh contribute to the diet of these
tortoises. Interview in Washington Star.

The failure of the nerves of the stomach
to perform their functions is the cause of
nervous dyspepsia, a most exhausting form
of disease. Allcock's Pobocs Plastrrs
are an excellent remedy. Senator James

For the past two years I have Buttered
