The basis of this strange story is fact.
The ghastly romanceOf the sequel will
be recognized by old residents near
Flint, Mich, who have not forgotten
the nocturnal exploits of a well-known
family whose modest home, of such fair
surroundings, stood half way up the
road, between the town and the old
graveyard.

Seven years hurry away. To the
young, time hurries; only to the old,
the wretched, the poverty-stricken it
drags. 1t had never dragged to CATER
Garth, senior, or to CATER Garth, jun
ior; both were dead, nevertheless. The
latter was found on the road, as if he
had fallen from his wagon, and, in the
wagon, strangely enough, was an emp
ty coffin, which, unless appearances de-
ceived, had had clammy tenant. No
explanation, however, was ever made
of this curious circumstance; and old
CATER, who always had an eye to saw
ing unnecessary expense, used the emp
ty box to bury the youth in. The last
funeral old CATER attended was Job
Mallory's. Mayhap he took cold, for
it was winter time; but he died within
a month-and made no confessions.
Whether God was as good to CATER
Garth after his death as that humble
man believed Him to have been in life
know not; albeit the minister preached
a most extravagant discourse over his
remains, and extolled his many virtues.
In seven years Lois Mallory had be
come an attractive woman. The only
man who had found access to her sym
pathies--nay, he had awakened her
loye-was DIR. William Garth, who,
having completed his university course
with exceptional honor, had come back
TO his old home to practice. He knew
as much as doctors generally; he lived
at Garth's Orchard" and he wooed
and woe Lois Mallory, the prettiest and
the richest girl in his circuit. Their
marriage day was set, and, unknown to
them, 1t was Thanksgiving, for the

north of here on the old Deadwood stage
road. 1t is reported that the Cheyennes
were seen last night six miles from

miles northwest of Red Cloud. They
were evidently making for the station

The expected marriage did not take
place Immediately in Job Mallory's.
Eunice was prostrated by illness, and
the wedding had to be put off. She
could not foresee that she was never
again to leave her room; that never
again would she ride to the academy to
kiss Sister Agatha and carry away that
meek saints benediction; that she was
never again to take a long walk with
Walter down the clover-lined lane and
listen to his passionate declarations of
love and many ambition, and the de-
termination to become somebody for
her sake. A summer passed away; and
her beautiful head, with its wealth of
black hair hiding the white of the pill
low, tossed restlessly about. and the
red spots glowed in her following
cheeks. Hope never left her. Nor did
Lois. That faithful heart forgot the
weakness of the child, put on the
strength of the woman, and became
nurse and companion to EuAice, whose
keen wit had discovered the secret of
the embroidery; and, day after day, at
Eunice's command, Lois sat at her bed
side and wove the silken pansies on the
satin slippers.

the most inaccessible position of any of
the many from which they recently
stood the troops at bay.
He also states that party of five
soldiers who were detached from the
command for the purpose of ascer-
tanning the position held by the
Indians, unexpectedly found them
selves within short rifle range of over
half score of Indians. The latter
discharged volley at the squad, kill
ing Private Barber, of Company Ii,
Third Cavalry, and gaining possession
of his carbine, pistol and ammunition.
The comrades of Barber, though ex-
posed to the fire of the Indians, used
desperate efforts to prevent the Indians
from obtaining either his remains or
equipments, but without avail.
Captain Vessels believes that the
Indians cannot be dislodged from
their present position without the
sacrifice of greater number of
lives than he deems advisable, and
has in consequence dispa1ched Lieuten-
ant Dodd, Third Cavalry, to Red Cloud
Agency, with view to obtaining the
assistance of dozen Sioux scouts we'll

Agent Irwin and Red Cloud arrived
tonight to learn the particulars of the

FREE LABOR vs.. CONVICT LABOR.
An immense pressure will be brought to
bear on the General Assembly that will
convene in Springfield next Wednesday, to
bring about the enactment of a law pro-
hibting competition between free and con.
wet labor. As bait to the Communistic
vote Of the state, plank declaring against
such competition was inserted in the Dem
ocratic state platform Of last summer
1t this movement means anything, it
means that the two thousand convicts in
our peni,cntiarics shall be maintained in
luxurious dlcness-that they shall do no
work, and the poor as well as the rich tax
payer of the state, shall pay more taxes to
pay for the food and clothing of the idle
prisoners Il means that the poor, honest
man shall work, that the condemned Grim
lnal may live in idlcncss. Ii the movement
does no, mean this, what does it mean2 The
leaders declare that free labor shall not be
compelled to compete with convict labor.
Five hundred of the joliet, convicts pursue
the stone cutters trade. These shall be
made 10 lay down their hammers and
| levels, because the five hundred stone cut
ters of Chicago want more work and big
ger prices. Within the walls of the same
prison are two hundred shoemakers. These
put aside their pegging avis and leather
aprons, because they come in competition
with Chicago shocmakcrs who want more
work and larger figures. And 20 on
throughout The list Of trades pursued
within the walls Of the State prison. The
prisoners shall manufacture nothing they
shall perform no labor, because certain pco.
pie who arc not in prison, want to manu-.
iacurc more wares and to perform more
