Tb SpoOan" "Heart ol Uw SmmC Mb CcpTrifbL bj Htrpw tad Brcitxn Lopes" attack proved a complete surprise, both to the citizens and to the garrison of tlie town. The rebel bugle ga-e the first warning of what was afoot and before the Oastiliaa troops who were loitering off duty could re frain their quarters, before the cltliens could take cover or the shopkeepers close and bar their heavy wooden shut ter, two hundred rapped horsemen were yelling down the streets. There followed a typical Cuban en gagementten shouts to one shot. There was a mad charge on the heels of the scurrying populace, a scattering pop-pop of rifles, cheers, cries, shrieks of defiance and far-flung Insults direct ed at the fortinns. O'Reilly, with Branch and Jacket close at his heels, whirled his horse Into the first bodega he came to. The store was stocked with general mer chandise, but Its owner, evidently a Spaniard, did not tarry to set a price upon any of It. As the three horsemen came clattering in at the front he went flying out at the rear, and, although O'Reilly called reassuringly after him, his only answer was the slamming of a back door, followed by swiftly dimin ishing cries of fright There was no time to waste. John nie dismounted and, walking to the shelves where some Imported canned goods were displayed, he began to se lect those delicacies for which he had been sent The devoted Jacket was at O'Reilly Whirled His Horse Into the First Bodega. his 6lde. The little Cuban exercised no restraint ; he seized whatever was most handy, meanwhile cursing ferociously, as befitted a bloodthirsty bandit Boys are natural robbers, and at this oppor tunity for loot Jacket's soul flamed savagely and he swept the shelves bare as he went "Hey, Leslie I Get something to carry this stuff In," O'Reilly directed over his shoulder. Spurred by O'Reilly's tone and by a lively rattle of rifle-shots outside, Les lie disappeared Into the living-quarters at the back of the store. A moment later he emerged with a huge armful of bedclothes, evidently snatched at random. Trailing behind him, like a bridal veil, was a mosquito-net which In his haste he had torn from its fas tenings. I guess this is poor!" be exulted. "Bedding! Pillows! Mosquito-net I I'll sleep comfortable after this." Dumping his burden of sheets, blank ets, and brilliantly colored cotton quilts upon the floor, Branch selected two of the stoutest and began to knot the cor ners together. He had scarcely finished when Jud son reined In at the door and called to O'Reilly: "We've cleaned out the drag store. Better get a move on you, for we may have to run any minute. Tve Just heard about some Cuban prisoners In the calaboose. Gimme a hand and we'll let 'em out." Sharing In the general consterna tion at the attack, the Jail guards bad disappeared, leaving Lopez men free to break Into the prison. When O'Reil ly joined them the work was well un der way. Seizing whatever Implements they could find, Judson and O'Reilly went from cell to cell, battering, pry ing, smashing, leaving their comrades to rescue the Inmates. While the Americans smashed lock after lock their comrades dragged the astonished Inmates from their kennels, hustled them Into the street and took them up behind their saddles. The raid was over, "retreat" was Bounding, when Judson and O'Reilly ran out of the prison, remounted, and lolned their comrades, who were streaming back toward the plaza. Colonel Lopez galloped up to Inquire, anxiously, "Did you find those eatables, eh?" "Yes. sir, and a lot more." "Good! But I failed. Pickles? Cnrumbal Nobpdy here ever heard of one I" "Did we lose any men?" Judson asked. "Not one. But Ramos was badly cut" "So? Then he got to close quarters with some Spaniard?" "Oh no I" The colonel grinned. "He was In too great a hurry and broke open a show-case with his fist." The retreating Cubans still main tained their ttproar, discharging their rifles Into the air, shrieking defiance at their Invisible foes, and voicing insult ing Invitations to combat This ferocity, however, served only to terrify further the civil population and to close the shutters of San Antonio the tighter. Meanwhile, the loyal troops remained safely In their blockhouses, pouring a steady fire Into the town. And despite this admirable display of courage the visitors showed a deep respect for their enemies' marksmanship, taking advan tage of whatever shelter there was. The raiders had approached San An tonio de los Banns across the fields at the rear, but Colonel Lopea led their retreat by way of the camlno real which followed the river bank. This road for a short distance was exposed to the fire from one port ; then It was sheltered by a bit of rising ground. O'Reilly, among the last to cross the one of fire, was Just congratulating himself upon the fortunate outcome of the skirmish when he saw Colonel Lo pes ride to the crest of a knoll, rise In his stirrups and, lifting his cupped hands to his Hps, direct a loud shout back toward the town. Lopes was fol lowed by several of his men, who like wise began to yell and to wave their arm 8 excitedly. Johnnie turned to discover that Les lie Branch had lagged far behind, and now, as If to cap his fantastic perform ances, had dismounted and was de scending the river bank to t place where a large washing had been spread upon the stones to dry. He was quite exposed, and a spiteful crackle from the nearest blockhouse showed that the Spaniards were determined to bring him down. Mauser bullets ricocheted among the rocks even from this dis tance their sharp explosions were audi bleothers broke the surface of the stream into little geysers, as If a school of fish were leaping. When Johnnie looked on In breath less apprehension Branch appropriated several suits that promised to fit him ; then he climbed np the bank, remount ed his horse, and ambled slowly out of range. Now this was precisely the sort of harebrained exploit which delights a Cubant audience. When Leslie re joined his comrades, therefore, he was greeted with shouts and cheers, "Cannibal He would risk his life for a clean shirt . . . There's a fel low for you! He enjoys the hum of these Spanish bees! . . . Bravo I Tell us what the bullets said to you," they cried, crowding around him In an admiring circle. O'Reilly, unable to contain himself, burst forth In a rage : "Lope ought to court-martial you." Infuriated, he rode over to where Captain Judson was engaged In mak ing a litter upon which to carry the tck prisoner they had rescued from the Jail. "This chap here Is all in," Bald Judson. "I'm afraid we aren't go ing to get him through." Following Judson's glance, O'Reilly beheld an emaciated figure lying In the shade of a nearby guava bush. The man was clad In filthy rags, his face was dirty and overgrown with a month's beard ; a pair of restless eyes tared unbllnklngly at the brazen sky. His lips were moving ; from them is sued a steady patter of words, but oth erwise he showed no sign of life. "You said he was starving." Johnnie dismounted and lent Judson a hand with his task. That's what I thought at first but he's sick. I suppose It's that Infernal dungeon fever. We can swing him be tween our horses, and" Judson looked np to discover that Johnnie was poised rigidly, bis mouth open, his bands halted in midair. The sick man's voice had risen, and O'Reil ly, with a peculiar expression of amazement upon bis face, was strain ing his ears to hear what he said. "Eh? What's the matter?" Judson inquired. For a moment O'Reilly remained frozen In his attitude, then without a word he strode to the sufferer. He bent safe now; you can tell m. . . . You're safe with O'Reilly. ... I came back . . . I came back for you and Rosa. . . . Where Is she? . . . Is she dead?" Other men were assembling now. The column was ready to move, but Judsen signaled to Colonel Lopes and made xnown the Identity of the sick stranger. The colonel came forward swiftly and laid a hand upon O'Reil ly's shoulder, saying: "Sot You were rlRht. after all. IN tehan Varona didn't die. God must have sent us to San Autonto to deliver htm." "He's sick, sick!" O'Reilly said, huskily. "Those Spaniards I Look what they've done to him." His voice chanced. He cried, fiercely: "Well. iMiiiiMimiiaBftmiimiM Policies and Personalities I'm late again. I'm always Just a little bit too late. He'll die before he can tell me" "Walt ! Take hold ot yourself. We'll do all that can be done to save him. Now come, we must be going, or all San Antonio will be upon us." O'Reilly roused. "Put hlin In my arms." he ordered. "I'll carry him to camp myself." But Lopes shook his head, saying, geutly: "It's a long march, and the litter would be better for him. Thank heaven we have an an;el of mercy awaiting us. and she will know how to make him well." Whn the troop resumed Its retreat Esteban Varona lay suspended upon a swinging bed between O'Reilly and Judson's horses. Although they car ried him as carefully as they could throughout that long hot Journey, he never ceased his babbling and never awoke to his surroundings. (Continued In next ueu). Non-inflammable Gas Used in Dirigible ST. LOUIS. Mo.. July 21 Airships 1100 feet In length, virtually air bat tleships capable of carrying an entire battalion of troops, are In prospect in the near future, according to Col onel C. B. F. Chandler, head of tne ba'loon and airship division of the United State9 army, who Is In St. Louis looking for a site for an air station. Colonel Chandler was In command of the balloon service in France dur ing the war. He will visit Scott field and Jefferson barracks today to look over proposed aviation sites. Colonel Chandler said, however. that all airships to be built by the United States will be so made that they can be changed easily Into 1m p'ements of war. New Gas Discovered "By the use of helium gas, which was perfected by the United States during the war, the airship will be able to disregard the airplanes. The new gas is not Inflammable and a few The resignation of Roadmaster Roots was inevit able. His ultimate separation from the payroll of Cack amas county became a foregone conclusion when it ap peared that he and Commissioners Proctor and Harris could not work together in harmony. The grneral public should not be and probably is not particularly interested in the personalities of its ser vants, but it is interested in their policies and the success or failure of such policies as may be adopted. The coun ty court is responsible to the people who elected them. The roadmaster is responsible to the county court that appointed him. The public is not interested in their quarrels, if they have any, but is vitally interested in their achievements. Road making in Clackamas county has taken a de cisive step forward during the incumbency of Mr. Roots. Several miles of hard surface pavement have been laid and this pavement appears to be carrying a heavy burden of traffic satisfactorily. Mr. Roots is entitled to some credit for having established an efficient working organ ization for paving operations. He contends that the county court, or the two commissioners forming a ma jority of the court, have hampered his efforts, and he has indicated that he is entitled to the same free hand that he had before Mr. Harris became a member of the court. Upon this rock the roadmaster's resignation followed". The court must now look to the future. They must select a new roadmaster, and the correct policy should be to appoint a man in whom they have confidence. Any man, with sufficient energy and breadth of vision to handle 1500 miles of county roads successfully, will in sist upon a reasonably free hand, at least as to details. The people are clamoring for more roads and for better roads and they will be satisfied only with the most for ward and progressive policy that can be formulated. Any return to the antiquated and costly methods of handling road money in vogue six or seven years ago will not be tolerated. . Our own suggestion would be to employ an effi cient roadmaster, pay him what he is really worth, even if the amount appears large, and then map out policies 1 for him to follow and give him his head. No other plan, I in our judgment, will be more than a temporary success. a Astoria Loading Is Tied Up By Strike ASTORIA, July 18.

The unit power plant, consisting of an engine, oper ated by kerosene or gasoline, which operates a generator, and attached to storage batteries, is found on thous ands of farms. The manifold use ot the home pow er plant are one of its most Inviting features. Primarily designed to bring electric light to the homo, thereby re placing unsatisfactory, unsafe kero sene and carbide lights, there have since been devised convenient attache meats for a great number ot other purposes. In the dairy, for example. the electrio power not only milks the cows, but separates the cream and chum the butter.

So why compel women bathers to cover theirs and allow men freedom of the knees?

He was speaking at tha convention of the National Association f DruRless Physicians. "Why should woman bo compelled by an unmoral, un-Amorlcan and in humane law to cover tholr beautiful limbs?" ha asked. "What Is the d iff orotic botweon a woman's foot and a man's foot? Why not make men wear long stockings and put trousers on horses? If At lantic City would be truly moral, It would tell women to discard their clothing or don trousers."

And the beaches were made for swimming, weren't they, for girls as woll as men? Well, then, why shouldn't a girl wear a one-piece bathing suit?"
