CHAPTER XXIH.
Julia's marriage arrangeanents were yo
Jaf on speedily. There waa ometaing
ironic: to me in the cnan-re that made
me so o!!t tae witness of thean.
We 1
were so merely coasiai again, that she
discuawd her parthasa and displayed
them before me, as if there had nTer
been any noti.n between us of keeping
house together. Onte more I asirtei
in the choi-Te of a wedding drvwj, for the
one made a year before was aaid to be
yellow and old-fashioned. Bat thia time
Julia did not insist apon havitg white
aatin. A dainty tint of grey waa con-ider-d
more saitabie. Captain Carey ea
joyed the purchase with the rapture 1
had failed to eiperien ,
The wedding wis filed to take plaee
the last week in July, a fortnight earlier
than the time propoted; It waa also a
fortnight earlier than the da:e I was look
in? forward to cm: acxioaaiy. when, if
Ter. news would reach Tardif from
Oiivia.
Ir. Srfnior bad agreed with mc that
Foster was sufficiently advanced on the
road to recovery to be removed from Ftii
bam to the better air of the so-jtb eoast.
We req aired Mrs. Farter to writ us
fully, three time a week, every varia
tion she might observe in bis health.
After that we started them off ta a quiet
Tillage in Sussex. I breathed more free
ly when they were out of my dally sphere
of duty.
Bat before they went a hint of treach
ery reached me, which put me doubly on
my guard. One morning, when Jack and
I were at breakfast, Simmons, the cabby,
waa announced. He waa a favorite with
Jack, who bade the servant show him in.
"Notilag amiss with your wife or the
brats, I hope?" aaid Jack.
"So, Dr. John, bo." he answered,
"there aia't anything amiss with them.

to tie nioutb of a cannon, knowing
tiat it was going to blow me to pieces
than to make another trip over tie

Tie barrvl in which Mrs. Taylor ac
ct'inplished tie feut was alKiut six feet
long. AttacLed to the bottom were
ieavy weight to hold it upright. With
it tie barrel were straps, attached to
tie bottom, wiiuh were placed over
tie woniat's shoulders to prevent her
i-ad from bumpiric against tie top.
Over her bead, during the trip, was a
pillow for farther protection.
Cm tie memorable dcy Mrs. Taylor
and her barrel were rowed into the np
jt rtver and set adrift in a current
that rapidly bore her toward the rap

rght position and bobbing like a cork
moved straight for the curve of the
horseshoe falls. A little to the Cana
dian side of the center of the falls the
barrel took its plunge and dropped,
clouded In mist, to the lower river, a
distance of 15S feet.
Whiie the desperate plunge was being
taken thousands of spectators held
their breath in anxiety and suspense,
everyone believing that the fall would
be fatal and that another would be
added to the long list of the victims of
Niagara. Two minutes after the plung
ing barrel had been lost in the mist of
the tremendous cataract it appeared In
the seething white water below the
falls. It gradually was carried bv the
current to the Canadian side and was
hauled ashore. The top was hastilv
sawed off and Mrs. Taylor was taken
out. She had suffered a contusion on
the right side of the bead and had re
ceived numerous bruises on the body
Her nervous system had suffered a sei
vere shock and since then she has been
afflicted with severe headaches. Ex
actly fifty minutes had elapsed from
the time she was sent adrift until she
was released from the barrel. When
she reached ber hotel she broke down
and wept.
When she was rescued the barrel was
one-third filled with water. Tbe tre-
meuuous pressure bad forced th- water
through tbe air tube which connected
with a small opening near the ton of
the barrel

REVOLVER WOUNDS

Wounds in civil life d.ffer from these
in military life in tbe greater after
danger of septic involvment. Revolver
cartridges are more liable than ire
rifle cartridges to have been handled
frequently, to have been carried In dir
ty pockets aud to have come In contact
with various forms of infectious mate
rials tiat may prove of serious conse
quence when buried In the tisanes.
Moreover, revolver cartridges are cov
ered with a coating of grease, and this
encourages an accumulation of mani
fold microbie material, some of which
may prove to be of a virulently infec
tious nature.
Rifle bullets are practically always
sterilized by the intense heat develop
ed by the powder at tbe moment o(
their discharge. Their rapid progress
through tie air while in a heated con
dition still further serves to cleanse
them of any extraneous material that
may chance to have accumulated od
their surfaces. This cleansing process
is very effectually liegun by the rifling,
uf the rifle barrel through which th-f
bullet forces its wav. (
All of these favorable factors

given ease such a bullet may carry ln
