% years, month and ID days.
Seven years ago Mrs. D. was happy bride,
loving and beloved, with apparently only joy.
Gus future before her. A year later she was
seized by the relentless hand OF consumption, in
herted, it seems, from her parents, and from
that day to the close on Sunday morning the in

siduous than memorable. Yet with an excep-
tiorally cheerful and joyous disposition, thor
oughly cultivated, acute and radiant mind, and
heart full of resignation, tenderness faith, hope

Obituary.


Hon. Alfred W. Cavalry died at his residence
in this city on Wednesday morning, in the S4th
year of his age
The death of Judge c. revves many reminis-
cences of the early history of this state in which
he was more or less conspicuous actor, and in
recornting which we could ill many interesting
columns. He came to this state from Connect-
cut IN 1922, % years of age, thoroughly educa-
ted and accomplished lawyer, and settling down
to stay" in Greene county, of course became
prominent public man. He was elected County
Judge there before 1880, was repeatedly sent to
the legislature, and in about 1888 to the state
sena:e, of which he served as a prominent mem
Der curing two or three terms. At one time he
cam, near being nominated as the democratic
candidate for governor of Illinois.
A. an attorney in middle and southern Illinois,
in it, earlier days, he was the contemporary and
rival OF such men as Josiah Lamborn, Gen. Tur
neyW L. d. Ewing, Archie Williams, Cyrus
Walker, Gen. Hacker, Theophilus w. Smith,
Judge Pope, Stephen 7. Logan, Judge Lockwood,
&c, &C.
Laving Greene county in about 1859 ard re-
moving to Ottawa, he relaxed his attention to
politics and devoted himself mainly to his pro-
lesson, by which he succeeded in accommodating
a comfortable competence before the intirmlties
of are untitled him for the more arduous labors
OF his profession.
a: public man Judge Cavalry was distn.
guiAed both for his ability and his thorough
honesty and integrity Of character. To no man
in or day was the decaying political morality
a. Of ali
rene and grief.
In the private relations of life he was social,
atfa,le, kind-hearted, open-handed, and scrupu.
lousy correct in his habits and conscientious in
ali lis acts and dealings.
His death was formally announced to our Cir
cult Court on Thursday morning in a touching
address by Chas. Blanchard, Esq, upon which
the Court adjourned to attend his funeral at 81

this afternoon to hear addresses and adept suit

any length. He already believed himself to
be in love with this beautiful child of nature,
and his recently acquired knowledge Of her
real parentage, in casting down the social
barrier that otherwise would have existed be-
tween them, seemed toapen an easy way for
the fulfllment of his wishes.
But Manitara said again, 81 do not know

conscious of his impatient, dissatisfied feel

CHAPTER XIV.

Manitara was gone. The amazed mission
ary, after closing the eyes of Oconosh, who,
without speaking another word, breathed his
last, extended his search for her throughout
the whole reservation, but without success.
In that brief space of time, which had been
occupied by his interview with her adopted
father, the girl had strangely and mysterious
ly disappeared. It seemed most improbable
that she should, of her own free will, have de-
serted the old chief in his last hour. Such
conduct would have been simply unnatural,
and out of keeping with the whole tenor of
her previous behavior. Besides, where could
she have betaken herself TO at that time of
night? Forthe dawn was even now but just
beginning to tinge, with faint gray light, the
distant hills, and some time had elapsed since
the commencement of his search. On the
other hand, was it reasonable to suppose that
any catastrophe could have befallen her-that
she had fallen into neighboring pool, for
instance, or been spirited away by some enc
my, opportunely or inopportunely, just at
this hour, and finding her unprotected ana
alone?'
This last idea, if it suggested itself at all to
Mr.. Carleton's mind, fitted instantly away,
leaving no impression behind it. Yet it was,
after all, the least improbable Of any that had
occurred to him. Perplexed and disappoint-
ed, he finally abandoned his efforts to discov-
er her whereabouts, and mounting Whitefoot,
who, hungry and disconsolate, had been wait
ing for him, like Patience on monument,
out in the cold, turned his face in the direc-
ton of Panther Joe's cabin, intending to ask
for a breakfast there, both for himself and
for his horse.
To his surprise, he found the cabin-door
closed and locked-a most unusual circum-
stance; for Joe, even when abroad, seldom took
such precautions for the security of bis prop.
erty. The clergyman was sufficiently at home
