Just now. Will you promise 2"
She only replied: "Csme back, Mr.. Farrell

"Susie," returned the scoaudrel. with the ut
most solemnity, "unless you give me your pro.

"Come back directly, sir" I shouted, "or I'll

The villain never needed my existence: '.Pro.

Dick, do come back. I will marry you"
This. then, was the result of my months Of
devotion to that shameless girl This il what
came of my condesce.siou towards a miserable,
unprincipled painter. Before my very eyes, in
my very hearing, he gained . promise Of mar
riage from the lady whom had intended TO
marry myself.

There 1 have told the whole story, and the
facts haye been stated precisely as they occurred
1t only remains for me to ask the question.
Would not have been perfectly justified in lot
ting 60 the shawl, and thus putting q sudden
and etfectual end to my treachsrous rivals suit /?
To be sure he had on former occasion saved
my life-doubtless for purposes of his own. and
certainly without waiting for me to request that
favor from him. But did that excuse his subse.
quent conduct? just look a. it in all its hide.
BUSINESS While held his life in my hsnds-
for nothing could have saved him had let 20

her consent. Could any one have blamed mo

THE UNFINISHED PRAYER.

Ofmy daughter, kneeling, bending
Ger her folded finger tips.
"Down to sleep"-"To sleep" she murmured
And the curly head dropped low.

you can say it all, know"
''Pray the Lord'-the words came family;
Fainter still, ''My soul to keep"
Then the tired head fairly nodded,
Aud the child was fast asleep.
But the dewy eyes half opened
When 1 clasped her to my breast,
And the dear voice gentle whispered,
mamma, God knows all the rest"

The funeral of Commander E. P. Will
liams, United States Navy, deceased,
late of the United States steamship
Oneida, took place this afternoon. To
speak of it in ordinary every day terms
is all that we can do; and yet the deep
feeling that possessed the heart of every
human being in Yokohama was so
evinced by the immense cortege, and the
great number of persons who, unable to
join in the procession, were witnesses of
it throughout its whole line of march,
that the most skeptical must have been
convinced OF the warm regard enter
tanned for the deceased gentleman who
was being borne to the cemetery, and
the whole of his late comrades. Very
sad and solemn was the general public
demeanor; and, although in Yokohama
we have had to mourn other friends
taken from amongst us under circum-
stances that intensified the ordinary pain
of parting, none have possessed such a
peculiarly distressing interest as this
1t was to have been expected that there
would be very large attendance, but it
was actually far greater than anyone
could have supposed.

Blonde Markham, some OF whom 1--we IN

Said she: Old Storey is mean old
reprobate. He did not get half punching
enough We walloped him like fns, and
he did not get even with us, for it only
cost us hundred dollars apiece, and we
took more than the worth of the money
out of his hide. He got fits, and if we
should have TO appear next yEne 10

we shall make as strong defense as we
can. "

Particulars of the Death of Gen,
Thomas.

From the San Francisco Bulletin, March %. ]
Sorrowfully are the lines indited which
convey the mournful intelligence of the
death Of hero among heroes, Major
General George H. Thomas, Commander
of the Pacific Military Division. Appa-
rently enjoying the best of health until
stricken yesterday afternoon, the news
of his demise viii sweep as a sudden
autumnal gust, bringing woe TO every
loyal heart it reaches. The particulars
of his death are briefly given by the
officers of his staff in the apartments ad-
joining the chief Office, The General
came to headquarters about noon yes
terday, and gave his attention to business
Immediately, eonyersing with officers
and writing dispatches His demeanor
was pleasant and cheerful as usual-the
luster Of the eye was undimmed and the
step unfaltering. About halfpast one
o clock he arose from the desk where he
had been writing, and passed into the
room adjoining, where he remarked to
an officer that he felt unwell, Scarcely
were the words spoken ere he fell
in a fainting fit. Medical assistance
was summoned Immediately, L r. Hag-
ner and Drs. Murray, Mccormick and
Bailey of the army being dispatched for
The former gentleman arrived upon the
scene first and applied restoratives,
which had the desired effect of bringing
the General TO consciousness, The army
physicians mentioned having arrived, he
was left in their charge and for half an
hour slowly revived His wife and
daughters, residing at the Lick House,
were brought to the headquarters, and
he talked nationally with them and Off
GERS about him until shortly after three
o clock pm. symptoms ofan apoplectic
fit were then observed, the eyes dilating
and the breathing growing stentorious.
At $3.50 p m. he relapsed into lethargy,
from which he never recovered, and at
7:25 pm. quietly passed away, surround
ed by his family and the members of his
staff. From the time he was first taken
sick his condition was such that the
physicians did not deem it advisable to
have him removed; hence he died in his
own office, No. 2O4 Sutter street, near
Kearny. The deceased was born in
Southampton county, Va, June 81, 1916,
and was nearly ffty-four years of age.

ROMANCE.

BY OLIVER WENDELL HOLMES.
Oh she was a maid of laughing eye,
And she lived in garret cold and high;
And he was a thread-b whskered beau,
And he lived in a cellar damp and low.
But the rosy boy of the cherub wing
Has many shaft in his slender string,
And the youth below and the maid above
Were touched with the flashing darts of love.
And she would wake from her troubled sleep,
Der his tender billet-deux TO weep; f
Or stand like a statue bright and fair.
And gaze on lock of his bright red hair.
And he who was so tall and proud,
With his step so firm and his laugh so loud,
His beard grew long and his face grew thin,
And he pined in solitude over his gin.
But one soft night in the month of June,
As she lay in the light of cloudless moon,
A voice came floating soft and clear
To the startled maiden's listening ear.
Oh. then from her croaking couch she sprung,
And her tangled tresses back she flung;
She looked from the window far belaw,
And he stood beneath-her whiskered beau.
She did not start with foolish frown,.
But packed her trunk and scampered down,
And there was her lover, tall and true,
In his thread bare coat of the brightest blue.
The etar that rose in the evening shade
Looked sadly down on q weeping maid
The sun that came in his morning pride
Shed golden light Ger laughing bride.

Execution. of Tom Young and Bob
GuRu, Negroes, at fHfllsbOrO, NC.
nnrrnsnnndenoa New York Harald1

AT two I'm. the sheriff ascended the
scaffold and read the death sentence of
both, which could scarcely be heard be-
tween the prayers and supplications of
the condemned within and the din and
tumult of the mob without. This cere-
mony concluded, the ropes were attached
to the rings in the ceiling above. The
legs of both were pinioned at the ankles,
and black caps we're put over the fore
head, obscuring vision TO all earthly
things At five minutes past two the
drops fell and the murderers were strug-
Cling violently in the air. Neither of
the nooses were properly adjusted, and
the hangmans knots, when the ropes
reached their utmost tension, slipped TO
the back of the neoks Of both. Young
fell only about foot, and, as he swung
to and fro, his limbs were cOnvulsively
drawn up and his struggles were fearful.
Gum fell nearly two feet, and, in con-
sequence of his enfeebled condition, lis
sufferings were not so intense as Young 9.
After few spasmodic kicka, his strug-
giles ceased, and his soul was in the
presence Of his Maker. Y'oung continu-
ed to Jerk conyulsiyeIy for a number Of
minutes, perhaps FIVE, when he, too, be-
came still, and both were az the bar Of
Eternal Justice
The execution was a badly bungled
affair from beginning TO end, and showed
the necessity Of having an experienced
hanGman IN such eases. The tortures Of
the wretohes were terrible, which might
have been avoided If a proper scaffold
had been erected and a hangman en-
ployed who knew how to do his work.
After hanging nearly forty ysia0tes the
bodies were cut a0uQ and placed in col
fms already prepared for them.
