look womanly and wifely."
Then you were the murdcrer-you,
the father of my children, and my hus-
band. That girl has just recognized you,
sir" she replied with forced calmness.
What else was said in that interview
was never known TO the outside world.
But his words and his confession goaded
her to madness, and she fell with a
piercing shrek to the floor, where the
cool, collected villain left her lying, and
proceeded direct to the house of friend
near by, who trafiicked in slaves. With
big reward he told the man that he
must purchase the girl from her master,
and send her away to distant parts by
the next day. The man did as he was
directed, completed the purchase, and
before the next morning the girl was
far, far away, never to return and appear
rs witness against the wealthy Colonel
Stockworth.
From that day the madness of Mary
Stockworth was confirmed without an

secluded herself and would hold no oop-
verse with any one Of her friends and
neighbors. Somehow or other the secret
leaked out in after years.
Stockworth left homo and was absent
five years. He could not bear the re-
proachful eyes of his wife that followed
his every movement like an accusing
spirit. He died in the course Of few
years, while his wife lived to an adj
vanced old age, and reared her three
children to be useful men and lovely
woman. But she was mad to all the
outside world, and all loved and pitied
her because of her many virtues and
long sufferings. This story is handed
down from past generations, and Is actu-
ally founded on fact. Louisville Courier

GOODS MEN SAY ABOUT THE MANAGEMENT Oh
TIE HOUSE AND TIE LOSS OF TRADE.
The announcement that A. T. Stewart C.
Co. had decided to discontinue their drygooda
and manufacturing business attracted general
interest yesterday in this city and elsewhere.
Their retirement was not unexpected by men,
bers of the drygoods trade, but it was not
looked for so soon. Judge Hilton says that he
is simply tired of business, and that the firm do
not withdraw from trade because they have
been unsuccessful. The policy instituted by
Mr.. Stewart has been adhered To since his
death. Judge Hilton thinks that his attitude
toward the Hebrews was an advantage TO his
business. Leading drygOods merchants de-
clared yesterday that the house had been
declining ever since Mr. Stewards death; that
the management was not good; that the re-
moval of the wholesale kouse uptown was
great mistake; and that Stewart & Co.'s
trade was seriously affected by the loss OF
Hebrew patronage.
