friends. But now love somebody else
and wrote a letter to Howard to-day,
breaking of my engagement. l could
not marry him while 1 loved Edward
Kasson, the gentleman of whom have
written you before.
kasson read no more. He understood
now that Kato had handed him the
wrong note. He glanced on the table
and saw the other note. In a second he
had put the letter to Millicent in the
right envelope, and was reading his ab-
surd commands" when the ladies re-
entered.
1t was a hard minute for Kate, but
she was good actress. Not dash of
color Redeemed her cheek as she turned
to kasson and said:
duties?"
She saw that he had his own note in
his hands, and she understood and loved
linn for what he had done. This square,
faced. clumsy man had something of a
woman's delicacy and quick-witted tact.
g. rarely have received orders so
pleasant to perform" he said, with a
double meaning to his words-a double
meaning which he had no idea Miss Reid
understood.
The rest of the evening passed quietly.
and not until two days later did Kasson
perform his pheasant duty" In spite
OF the knowledge he had that Kate Reid
loved him, he hardly knew how to ask
her to be his wife. He was not going to
tell her that she had handed him the
wrong note, and that he had thus dis
covered she loved him. No, indeed.
He would never lisp syllable of her
fortunate mistake. These thoughts ran
through his brain as he sat near Kate,
and talked with her absently. The first
lull that came in the conversation he
took advantage of saying:
Miss Reid, is it rude to ask when
you last heard from Winslow?"
81 have not heard from him for over
a week." she answered, the color coming
into her cheeks now.
A short silence followed. Then Kas-
son said bravely:
"You are going to marry him next
spring, are you not?"
" shall never marry him." answered
Kate.
They were not a sentimental boy and
girl, but the rest of the tete-a-tete I do
not propose to chronicle, on account of
incoherency. However, it resulted in
satisfaction for them, and bewilderment
for Mrs: Reid, and subsequently, for
the gossip of Chatemuc City. AS for
Winslow, he took it philosophically and
married another young lady last fall.
1t is something of a problem in my mind
whether or no Kate Kasson will ever
confess her stratagem to her husband, or
whether he will confess to her that by
mistaken? y he saw the letter she wrote
to her friend, Miss Sheppard. So far,
neither has limited a word of their re-
spective secrets. 1t is my belief they
never will.-Golden Rule.

A Prolific FAMILY.

some persons have given themselves
good deal of uneasiness lest, from the
paucity of children born to American
parents of late years, the native race
should die out. Certainly, the size of
families, from whatever cause, has been
reduced in this country during the
present generation. Where there used
to be eight, nine and ten children, there
are now not more than two, three or four
at most, two being called the regular
number. There are many exceptions,
however, to this rule. A CONSPICUOUS
exception is Mary, wife of William Aus
tin, now a resident of Washington, who
has had forty-four children, only eleven
Of them born alive. She has had twins
thirteen times and triplets six times.
Her sister, Mrs. Carrie Kenney, aged 43,
has had twenty-six children, and her
husbands sister has had forty-one chill
dren, making a total of III for three
women. This seems almost incredible,
though the figures are vouched for.
Mrs. Austin, native of South Carolina,
and reared in Tennessee, is the daughter
OF John &. Kind, printer. She was
extremely loyal during the civil war,
and rendered excellent service to the
cause by nursing and administering to
sick and wounded in the army of the
Cumberland, often going on the field and
taking wounded soldiers from the front,
where: they had fallen. She is regular
physician, and has practiced for twenty
years, having been one of the first women
doctors in the country. She studied
medicine in New Orleans under the we'll
known Dr.. Stone. She lost an eye while
with the army in. the Valley of Virginia,
received medals for the able and fearless
manner i1f which she discharged her duty,
and was granted, likewise, regular COM
mission. She is 81, of good proportions
and appearance, and, az may be inferred,
OF vigorous constitution. Her husband
was also in the Union army, and must
have been a gallant soldier, for he bears
the marks of score of serious wounds,
which would have killed any man less
tough. The Kind and Austin blood is
SO prolific that a few members of the
family would be welcome immigrants to
new and thinly settled country.
Where they were progeny would be as
sured. Mrs. Austin, judging by Ma
poleon's standard as revealed to Nine.
De Stael is unquestionably the greatest
woman in America.-New York Times.

To see Kate. What business had he to

letter has been received, stating that
its writer shot John H. Whipple, son
of Bishop Whipple, and threw the
body into the river, above St. Louis.
This is probably meant for blind

method chosen to communicate the
particulars, is the one used by the
meanest order Of human beings when
they desire to mislead the judgement
of those to whom the letters are writ

so low an order, and so full of despic-

Horrible Depravity.

In the village Of Brooklyn, a suburb
of South Baltimore, an act Of iuven-
lie depravity and righteousness, rival
ing the cold bloodcd crimes of the boy
murderer, Jesse Pomeroy, was brought
to light to-day, and created sensa-
ton among the residents. An officer
learning that the corpse ola fve-year
old child had been found floating in
the river, visited the vicinity this af-
ternoon, and found an official investi-
cation in progress.
Two boys aged about 8 years.
named Charles Hart and Willie STAN
bury. were under arrest on a charge
of mutilating the corpse. Their
statements taken separated J, agreed in
giving the particulars Of the shocking
mutilation Of the corpse, differing only
in the fact that each charged the 9TH
er with the crime. They stated that
on Wednesday afternoon they found
the body floating in the river and
drew it ashore, where they spent sew
eral hours ''playing' with it. They
finally dug a shallow grave, buried it,
and returned to their homes without
mentioning the circumstance. The
corpse appeared to have been in the
water about week. ...
Yesterday the two blood thirsty
children returned to the grave, dug
up the body and began the work Of
mutilation. One of them had shar-
pened a knife on grind-stone for the
purpose, and the weapon was used to
inflict horrible gashes on the abdomen,
thighs, legs and feet of the swollen
and fast decomposing corpse. They
finally cut gash. around the left leg,
and slipping strap into the gaping
wound. made it secure, and attempted
to hoist the body up on fence, but
their strength was insufficient for the
task. They evidently enjoyed their
"sport' immensely. as the corpse was
literally slashed to pieces in a spirit
of malicious wantonness. ..-
The children were allowed to re-
turn to their homes. The body has
not yet been identified, and the mys-
terry is rendered greater by the fact
that no child has been missing in the
neighborhood. The parents of the
two boys and members of the jury
were Mortified at the story of ''play-
ing with corpse" as told by the nat
urally depraved juyenilcs.-Daiiy
