BACK TO Dl-ZVILd lf-il E. Bight Escaped Frenri tiomirts \\'iIt be Returned. Eight convicts who escaped last month from Cayenne, lll‘ Fri-nun ptizai scttleuient known as fitv'l‘s Island, where Dreyfus was, are La be handed 'back to the French authortl'cs alter desperate adventures in British Guiana. They arrived off the coast of lissenqui- be, 400 miles from Cayenne. on Novem- lcr 3, utterly without food. and in a boat that was rapidly sinking. After a strenuous struger they reached shore exhausted. Rendered desperate by Ilttli- ger, they greatly alarmed the. inhabi- tants of the township of Anna Regina. but a strong body of police, took them into custody, subsequently releasing ttieni on the understand ng that. they would at. (are leave the British colony. Next day, ll.v\‘.0\'Cl‘, the attitude of the Frenchmen became more threatening, and they were sent under a small cs- cort. to the county jail at Suddic. At a desolate part of the road the French- men overpowered their guard, and es- caped into the dense bush. An alarm was carried back to Anna Regina, and police and villagers set out in their tracks. For some time the efforts of the Searchers proved unavailing. Ow- ing, however, to the close watch kept‘ in the vicinity of all houses. the refu- gees were unable to obtain food, and overcome by hunger they were arrested in twos and threes, exhausted and in a very low state, and taken into safe custody. Of late the arrival in British Guiana of escaped prisoners from Devil's Island has become more common. it they are quiet, no objection is taken and they can find employment in the rice fields. The French authorities, as a rule, ap- pear far from anxious to receive the refugees back. ~E Lt'l‘TLE GIRL‘S FACE COVERED “’lTll ECZEMA. Cured by Zam-Buk.

The count was seized at Frankfort- ilaced under close guard. His arrest was made on the appli- declared that. he was insane. The proof ring: with Dora Fischc, the pretty daughter of a washcrwoman. When the count refused to give up his wife, A SPECIAL TRIBUNAL. was appealed to, and the marriage was declared null and void. There was a further development In the romance later on, when the count was formally dispossessed of all rights of succession, and his uncle, Count Ar- thur, was elected in his place. Count Erasmus’ escape from the asy- lum was planned and executed by the washcrwoman's daughter. The plucky girl-wife acted with great energy and dctemiination from the moment of her husband‘s arrest. She first bribed an attendant of the asylum and persuad- co thim to help the count to obtain means to escape from the building. Then she worked out detailed ar- rangements for his flight outside, and llhrough the attendant communicated her instructions to Count Erasmus. OFF ON MOTOR CAR. The attendant supplied the count with it's-tout rope, and early one morning the count made use of the rope to low- er thimseif from the window to the ground. The descent was extremely perilous. owing to the great height of the window, and the least slip would have caused the Count to drop to cer- tain death. Fortunately, no mishap oc- curred. and Count Erasmus got away withom molestation to a spot where his wife was waiting with a powerful mo- tor car. The fugitives dashed off at. express speed news the Swiss frontier, a dis- tance of a little more than 200 miles. They intend to be married again in Switzerland, and thus defy the oount’s parents. The asylum attendant. has also fled for fear of punishment for the old he rendered to the fugitives. --x<â€"â€"â€" For the O\'crworkcd.â€"-What are the causes of despondency and melancholy?
