IN do my best" was the reply;
and his best was we'll indeed, for one
summer day the veil was lifted for
ever from Harold Trenton's sight.
And when they went back to Aolia
one pleasant autumn day, he could
see the country in all its glory-the
clear, blue sky, the gorgeous colored
trees and the brilliant autumn leaves
futtering in the breeze.
Autumn leaves All, they touch
ed tender chord in Harold Tren-
tons breast, and, gathering small
collection Of them, he took them to
his wife, who sat on the porch, and
wreathed them in her dusky hair.
"Rubie, dear" he said, may our
future life be as clear and pleasant
as this October day and as bright
and varied as these autumn leaves. :"
And Rubie silently echoed his
wish.

She had laid away her brilliant

upon going to take look at her

crumbled to pieces, Il relinquish

and flung it to the wind.

had once pressed hers, and called her
his little love.
For an instant the room and its
occupants seemed to whirl around
her; then she became suddenly calm,
and advancing, took the smooth,
white hand extended to her. The
firm fingers clasped hers and held
them while Harold said.
Il am glad you came, Miss May

a great deal of patience. Do you 2"
Il shall leave that for you to dis

His clasp frightened little and he
bent his sightless eyes on her face,
while perplexed expression cross
ed his handsome features.
81 beg your PARDON" he said, re-
leasing her hand; "but your voice
reminded me of one l have heard be-
fore. What did you say your name
is-Raynor 2"
"Maynor, SIR" Rubie replied, as
camly as possible. Louise May
nor"
81 shall call you Louise, them"
said the blind man. "May l not rs
eff you like"
SO ended the first meeting; and af-
ter that Rubie was much more COM
posed and at her ease. Yet, when
Harold's eyes would turn toward
her as she sat beside him and read
or talked, she would blush and draw
back little as though fearing dis
covery.
One day ia early autumn, Harold
asked his companion to go with him
for walk in the garden. AS they
strolled down one Of the side walks,
the blind man stopped and reaching
up his hand, he plucked a few bright
hued leaves.
"Poor leaves,n he murmured, as
he stroked them, chow many times
have you changed your robes since
that October day Twice, twice,
and still l am here"
He seemed to have forgotten his
companion IS presence, and she was
about to steal softly away until he
should need her, when he put out
his hand and grasped her futtering
dress.
Louise" he said, 81 once loved a
bright, young girl, but misfortune
came between us.o
"Did she give you up for that ?'
asked Rubie.
"Ah no; she was true; but /
would not cucumber her with a blind
husband" Harold replied.
"Was her name Alston-Rubie
Aston 2" was the next question.
Harold face frightened, and he
laid one hand on her arm.
"Yes, yes" he said. "You know
her ? Oh, l am so glad. Where is
she now ?"
"She is here,'' replied Rubie, but
so low that he did not catch her
words.
"Where, Louise ?''
Rubie could restrain herself no
longer.
Harold, :" she cried, 81 am Rubie
your own Rubie. Don't you know
me ?"
"You Rubie ?" replied the other,
in bewilderment. "Why-"
81 am not Louise Maynor, but
Rubie Alston," the young girl said,
and this time her voice trembled.
Don't you understand ?"
A glad look of delight swept over
Harold Trenton's face. He drew
her nearer, and pressed his hand ov-
er her features and ripping black
hair.
'Tbank God !" he cried, 81 have
found you, Rubie my Rubie !"
He kissed her fervently; then
look of sadness and dispair crossed
his face.
"No, no." he said, letting his
arms fall, II am blind. Yon will
not take me now"
Rubie encircled his neck with her
rounded arms, and replied:

Yesterday afternoon Samuel Householder,
''Iineman'' in the employ OF the B. & o.
Railroad Company, was making some re-
pairs upon the box signal in front of the
company's telegraph office at BenwoOd, when
he in some unexplained way lost his footing
on the ladder and was precipitated to the
ground by the edge of the platform, falling a
distance of at least twenty feet, and alighting
upon the rail and ends of the ties. He was
severely bruised almost all over his entire
body, and probably sustained severe internal
injuries. His recovery is regarded as doubts
full in the extreme.
1t is believed that no bones are broken,
though the exact extent ofhis injuries could
not be ascertained. He was removed to his
home at Cameron, and injuries attended to
properly.
Mr.. Householder has quite large family,
and his enforced idlenesS would be sad cir

That Prof Butcher Proposes TO Hold
A Preliminary Meeting.
Ever since the middle of August, at the
time Prof. Butcher, State Superintendent Of
Free Schools, finished making the round of
district teachers conventions throughout the
State. he has been very anxious to hold a
teachers convention in this city. and at the
same time have present the county superin-
tendents of the State, making superinten-
dents convention.
In this effort he has been seconded by the
efforts of the principals of the city schools.
A meeting was held at his office last evening
to consider the matter. There were present
Superintendent Birch, and Principals Nc
Cain, Crago, Anderson and Gwynn. These
gentlemen were all enthusiastic over the mat
ter and will undoubtedly carry the project
through to grand success.
The matter discussed last evening was the
proper time for holding the same. Thanks
giving week and the week before the holidays
are the only times at which the convention
can be held. If Thanksgiving week is
agreed on, it will be asked of the Board to
give up Wednesday and Friday and use
the holidays, Thanksgiving and Saturday.
The week before the holidays is regarded as
the best time, for it is then that the schools
run down and the children are busy prepar-
ing for Christmas. The idea would would be
to dismiss school and close examinations the
Tuesday of the week preceding Christmas,
and devote the remaining four days to the
convention.
The Board of Education of this city will
be asked to continue the teachers salary for
that week, but at the same time, the teachers
must attend the Institute or Convention, or
suffer reduction of that weeks salary, the
same as if they should absent themselves
from school, This, Prof Birch thinks the
Board will agree to.
Prof Butcher has heard from siXty-one
principals and superintendent SO far, all
anxious to learn the particulars. a large
majority of those heard from intend to at
tend and several from Ohio are anxious to be
present.
Another meeting will soon be held and
plans further matured.

Probably More Sinned Against Than
SHINING Leaves this World by the
Poison Route.
About the 18th of last August young and
attractive looking girl named Lena Steward
came from the Moundsville camp meeting
with a domestic employed in the family of
Mr.. James Burley, of BenwOod.
She has remained there ever since, although
she claimed to be on the look out for another
place While she behaved herself with pro-
priety some were inclined to consider her u
little fast; nothing wrong however, was
known of her until about ten days ago she
complained of being sick and to DIR. Ford,
who was called in, she confessed that she was
pregnant. a day or two ago the doctor was
again called in and this time found the girl
had been taking ergot with a view of PrOduc-
severely for this and rid her system as
thoroughly as possible of the poison, but it
seems that she continued to take the drug
which she obtained in some manner, to that
extent, that yesterday morning she died in
all the agOnies of ergotine poisoning.
Squire Pelly was notified, and COroner's
Jury was summoned, of which Henry Fisher
was foreman DIR. Dolbere's evidence as an
expert, was the most important, and YER
diet was found in accordance with the above
facts.
1t was learned that the girls parents live
in West Virginia, opposite Pipe Greek, Ohio,
and that she left home on account of difficult
ties arising from her loose manners. She was
but twenty years old, but has an ilegitimate
child of three years that is living. 1t is also
thought that she was partly crazy, as for
some time past she has had mysterious air
about her, and it is thought that that might
account for her reckless use of ergOt, al
though some say she did it with suicidal in
tent. 1t was not learned what action the
Jury took in regard to ascertaing how and by
what means she obtained her medicine.

cert before taking their departure for New

Carl Hermann's piano playing-all know
that no such pianist has ever been heard in
Wheeling, and as this will be the last oppor-
tunify. at least for some time, of hearing him
and he has many friends and admirers here
we expect full house. But there are also
other great attractions. The violin is ever a
popular instrument and many enjoy its
sweet music who do not appreciate the piano
and our people will be eageF to embrace the
opportunity of hearing one of Germany's
greatest violinists-
Prof. Edward Hermann has played the
leading violin, post of great honor, in the
court orchestra of the Gar of Russia for
several years past, and is thought by some
competent judges to be second TO none in the
concert field In addition to all this, we
understand these great artist will be kindly
assisted by two of Wheehng's most popular
singers-AIrs. Geo. Caldwell and Mrs. Martha
Whitaker. 1t is to be hoped that the Har-

from them again under the brilliant leader.
