boarded at the house volunteered to
search for Mr.. Horton. They returned
late in the evening, but could give no
news save that he had been badly
wounded. They dare not commune
cate their own convictions of his fate.
Only the darkness of the dangerous
streets and the restraint of friends pre-

military cOmmandant, had released all
who had been arrested and confined
By the police, giving the name Of her
husband among the rest, and stating
that he had returned home. Acting
on this representation she went alone

went, but she searched in vain. He
had not been there. She then hurried
to the First Police Station, determined
to wiring from the brutal officers a con-

her husband. Entering the Office, she
forced her way within the rails, and
asked the clerk what had been done
with her husband. The man declared
that preacher Horton had been sent
by him to Charity Hospital, and she at
once hurried thither. Again she was
disappointed. He had not been seen
there. (The truth was, the cart which
carried Mr.. Horizons body had stopped
there, and been sent away, as II an

a load of dead bodies, and had been
buried alive, but, as a last resort, she
determined to visit the Marine Hospi-

Arrived at the gate, she was refused

she knew, she called to him, and asked
