paused and looked into its black depth for
sight of the familiar dress. She tried to
lift up her voice and call, but there was
such anyoppression upon her that, as in a
horrible dream. the sound was scarcely
more than whisper. She stood moment
irresolute, listening to the strange sounds
that came to her. A bird darted past her,
and made her heart leap until the blood
Numbered in her ears. Then she dashed
| forward. looking to the right and lett, but
breathing not a word. She had still one
hone still one fear, thai when she reached
the opening she would find the missing
one. The way was short; she was soon
the q. As she stumbled over the last fall
len branch and reached the clearing, the
soft lowing of the patient cows smote up
on her heart with the dull, incomprehensi-
BILE pain, that the unreasOning tranquility
of a dumb brute always has when every
pulse is bounding and the brain is whirl-
ing with excitement.
Marie had not been there. She hurried
ly opened the gate and let the creatures
through, then recrossed the forest. AS she
passed the spot where two hours before
Marie and Antoine had stood, and caught
sight of the river with its melancholy mists
rising over it, she broke into loud sobs and
cried OUT
Marie, Marie, where art thou ?''
But her voice only died away among the
trees, and no welcome answer came
When she reached home little Jacques
was still sleeping, and the father and tired
boys were standing about the door, with
that bewildered look which takes posses
sion of the men OF a family when they
come home and find the mother gone. She
rushed to them, breathless and frantic.
"Marie is gone!' was all she could say
as she sank upon the step. But they soon
gathered what little there was to tell.
Each had his suggestion to make, which
neither satisfied himself nor another, and
leaving the supper untasted and the cows
unmilked, they started toward the woods.
The mountains ceased to glow as the
clouds above them grew dull, and from
softest blue vanished into darkest purple;
banks Of misty clouds settled into the val

died away the river lay silent roadway
the vast forests took on a denser shade,
and the whole world of nature slept as the

Hon. John w. Green, Davenport, I0Ud--
DEAR SHIN answer to your COM
munication bearing date, May 18th, rela-
tive to my knowledge of the refusal Of
Coroner Knox to deliver to you the re-
mains of Mr. Herdman who was accident
ally killed while crossing the track near
our passenger depot, / would say this, that at
your request asked Mr. Knox, while he was
empanneling a jury for the inquest, whether
he would not, after holding saidinquest and
finishing his duties as coroner-deiver
the body to Mr.. Green, who, said, was an
officer in high standing in the same Order
to which Mr.. Herdman belonged; and
also said that you had brought Mr.. Boies
to take charge of said remains, and his
reply was in these precise words: mo
sir, will not deliver the body to any I'M
dertaker-I am an undertaken and | will
take charge Of it myself" He also re-
marked, after my question TO him-''Niil
you remove the body where they want it
and bury it?' and he said, Yes"
| This conversation was all done in a
hurried way, but at the sac time in an
understanding manner. Mr.. Knox was
not excited or gruff in his manner as
have seen it reported, but refused the re
quest in a peremptory and busiress-llkC
manner.
Hoping this statement may serve you
interests, remain yours truly,

citizen of this place, which occurred at his

tackled with paralysis. He was at once re-
moved to his residence in this city and cv-
crvthing that skill and attention could sug-

availed of, but without effect. He was

Trail was in his SOth year and very vigor.
