She might not stay when liSe's dearest hope was dead.
 In the story of the Lady Arabella Stuart" descended from Margaret. eldest daughter of Henry VII, allied by birth to Elizabeth, as we'll as James l., we find beautiful word picture ske,ched most tenderly. In secret "Lady Ara bella" had married William Seymour, son of Lord Beauchamp. This marriage alarmed the cabinet of James, and the welded lovers were immediately placed in separate confinement.
 But the love that laughs at locksmiths dropped not in prison cell. We find the Lady Arabella, in the earlier days of her imprisonment full of hope. The light of love is the star that brightens her prison home. At sorrows bidding she would not bow her queenly head. She sought to keep unfaded the beauty of form and features, that no wasted change might greet Seymour when he came. Courage fell about her like a garment, but there came change when the night shadows fell, only to brighten the more when the morning came again. The months rolled unceasingly by, the nights and days came regulaily-and as surely went again. She hears that Seymour is free in words of deep thankfuiness she sings songs of gladness. His release means her return to freedom, but the weary time of waiting goes on, and doubts begin to assail her trusting heart, and then she walks her dismal cell until almost mad with grief. She passionately says: What dost thou amidst the bright and fair Whispering light words and mocking my
 despair !"
 Then we see her abashec that she should doubt his constancy. With true nobility of soul, grown purer through the furnace ot afliction, in the closing scenes of her prison life, she acquitted him of all blame, and is glad that he is not there to see the delicate frame all wasted by sorrow and anxious waiting With the signet of death on her beautiful brow, her last words, like bugle call, ring out sweet and clear. With clearer light she seemed to see that too long had his young ambitious life been linked to her dark fate. And though from her innermost soul, every word seems torn, almost gladly she gives him back his freedom. With these words on her lips she dies alone.
 "Peace be on thy noble head,
 Years ot bright fame, when am with
 the dead.
 bid this prayer survive me and retain
 Its might again to bless thee, and again"
 Mrs. Hemans wrote for all ages and all climes, but whatsoever she wrote could have been written by a woman only. None but a woman's heart would have breathed such timely tender sentiments as those found in all her writings. In this day of hurry, hustle and wrong, it is refreshing to spend an hour with writer whose every thought breathes purity, calm, sweet and still.

CHAPTER III.

Young Hanks began in earnest the struggle of life. He did not go near the judge, but stole an occasional interview with Hallie. In fortunate speculation, Hanks made several thousand dollars. With this capital he entered into busi. ness. Everything seemed to turn his way. He bought the house which, during years, the judge had rented. The old man was greatly surprised, and frequently took occasion to speak of his prospective son-in-law's good fortune.
 One night Hanks called upon the judge. The old man graciously received him and, after warmly pressing his hand, conducted him into the library and de posted him in a comfortable rocking chair.
 |" suppose that you have heard that I have bought this house." said Hanks.
 "Yes, my former landlerd told me so. i"

 "Oh, l was not You see have long been his tenant"
 "What difference did that make ?'

 "You are a magnificent young man, and my daughter is yours"
 "Oh, no, she is not mine. If she is your daughter, how can she be mine?n

Jim Webster went on a spree yester- day, and invited large crowd several times into an Austin saloon. He was about to repeat the insult, when old Un- cle Nose said to him, admonishingiy:
 Hook heah, Jim money am mighty skurse, and you am just fowin' hit away. Yer oughter be more kereful wid yer hard earned money"

CHAPTER II.

" "Hallie, the old gentleman says that we shall not mary"
 The beautiful girl opened her dreamy eyes. If she hadn't, she could not have seen the young man. Her eyes always had dreamy look when she was sleepy.
 Yes, he says that l am not sure of my position, and that am not capable of taking care of you"
 But you are, ain't you, precious 2"
 "Do you doub: ue?'
 "Oh, no," she said. "Why, precious, don't you know that the revised Old Tes- lament says that perfect love knocketh fear and doubt into cooked hat. You have read the revised edition, haven't you?"
 "No, haven't got through the old one yet but no matter. am disturbed in spirit and am heavy of heart. Wish you would slip out and get me something to eat. I haven't had anything since supper time"
 Poor precious, you must be nearly starved"
 She went to the kitchen and soon re- turned with ham bone and hunk oi corn bread. After eating with many "smacks of great satisfaction, the lover said:
 "Now think can stand it until breakfast time"
 "I hope so, precious. Your appetite is usually good, is it not?"
 "It is middlin' good when have ham.
 She looked at him with a glance of cutting reproach.
 Don't be estranged, darling" he im- plored when he discovered that he had been rash. She relaxed her look of severity and gently removed the closely picked ham bone. Loving relations were soon re-established. The girl was much disappointed in consequence of her fathers decision, and declared that he was cruel, oh, SO heartlessly cruel. Hanks told her to hope. He knew that he would soon convince the old man of his ill-advised exercise of judgment. With many whisperings of love, they bade each other good night.

 "I know that my influence is limited, that have but few senators on my side, but sir, the vice-president of the United States is my cousin. He has promised to aid me"
 The judge laughed derisively. "Vice- president" he repeated. "Why sir, the vice-president is unknown to the admin istration. He has 50 little work to do that he is now seeking an appointment as notary public and clerk to pension agent"
 "Then," the young man exclaimed, l will rely on my own efforts. am no slouch, Judge Himlin."
 "No, sir" the judge replied, you are certainly not slouch. In truth, don't believe that you are anything. If you were only slouch could put up with you"
 Judge, must bid you good night, but remember, sir, that in the near future will do something that shall render me worthy in your sight. There are many possibilities in country like ours, and ere long you will be glad enough to take me by the hand and call me by the endearing name of son-in-law.

 "Yes."

County Court.

There were two insane cases before Judge
Gilbert on Tuesday. a woman named Mary
Long was brought up from Marseilles, her
husband having made application to the
court to send her to the Asylum. The testi-
mony developed at the trial was of a revolt
ing nature, showing that her husband was a
demon of the worst type When the officer
arrived at her residence In Marseiles he
found her in miserable condition, nth
hardly shred of covering, in filthy bed
and half starved, The great wonder is that
his treatment of the poor woman had not
driven her insane. Long may not have his
british action sifted by the grand jury, but
the case is eminently worthy their attention.
The other case was that of Barbara Scherzer
Of Dayton, who was decided Of unsound
mind by the jury.

obliged to throw up both hands and own
himself beaten. There are no methods too
