A CURIOUS LEGEND.
BY A TRAVELLER.


For years there stood upon the old Doren
property, good long distance from the
kitchen door of the mansion, a queer stone
WELL 1t was of carved stone with grotesque
heads and faces on every side, and behind it
the head and body of some fendish looking
thing-a sort of satyr it seemed-with such
fierce expressions in its carven eyes, that
all the children were afraid of it. A rustic
shed covered the well. Ivy crept over it and
half hid the stone face. And it certainly
was a very picturesque object
There had never been either windlass or
sweep; only chain fastened to the roof of
the shed, to which the bucket was attached,
but the water was always so high that it was
very easy to draw it in this way.
In connection with this well, however,
something very remarkable had occurred.
In the year 1914, when the house was first
occupied by the family, young girl, Katha-
rine Doren by name, the youngest daughter
of the house, had gone to the well in the
edge of the evening to fill pail. She never
returned. Her friends went in search of
her and found the pail ON the well curb.
1t was thought at first that she was
drowned, but this was not the case. How
ever, she was never seen again. Her friends
fancied she had been murdered; strangers
believed she had eloped with some lover;
but no one ever knew what had become Of
Katharine Doren.
Meanwhile, her niece, child at the time,
grew up, married and had daughter whom
she named Katharine, after her lost aunt
Forty years from the day ON which the
first Katharine had disappeared this second
Katharine, then seventeen years old, went
in the cleaning of an autumn day to the
stone well to fill a china pitcher.
Again the same thing happened; the pitch
er was found on the well curb, and Katha-
rine was never seen again. The whole
country was secured; posters were pasted
up in every town, advertisements in every
paper; but the mother died in grief without
having heard any tidings of her daughter.
Since then, in every generation the same
thing had happened Seven girls had gone
to the well for water and had never been
seen since, and strangely enough, each had
been named Katharine
Yet so skeptical are the people of to-day,
that no one really believed all that was said !;
the Dozens were a race given to elopement,
and that the girls took advantage of the leg
end Of the well.
In the year 1914 the old house was a
crumbling edifce, that rocked in the wind
when it blew strongly, and the widow of the
last Doren, to whom it fell on the death OF
her husbands father, hesitated about taking
up her abode there; but she was poor and
really had little choice. So to the old house
she went with her one daughter, Katharine
"a girl of eighteen, blue-eyed, golden
haired and bonny.
Inc widow had heard the story of the dis
appearance OF the girls, but had scarcely be-
LeVed IT, and had never repeated it to her
uaughter' katharine was in utter ignorance

took Browns Sarsaparilla to her, and by its use
she was cured, and can now run sewing machine
and do work about her house better than for
years. Mr. Bracket says there must have been

that that famous Browns Sarsaparilla cured her
of Kidney Disease.

An Interesting Case.

ST. LOUIS, Mo, December 16.-Judge
Barclay in the Circuit Court yesterday
rendered decision in the suit of District
Attorney Bliss against the Baltimore and
Ohio Telegraph Company. Mr. Bliss de-
livered dispatch to the Baltimore and
Ohio Company to be forwarded to eli
ent in Chicago. The suit was for failure
to promptly forward and deliver the dis
patch.
The company for defense, rested upon
the stipulations recited in the regulations
and conditions printed on the back of
the dispatch blanks. The court says
upon that point: "All that need be stated
concerning such stipulation is that so
far as it seems to exempt the telegraph
company from the consequences of its
own negligence, it is against public
policy, and entirely void and of no effect.
There will, therefore, be a finding in
favor of the plaintiff"

teen-year-old son, seizing a shotgun, went
out and discharged it at the assassins
who returned the tire and then made of,
leaving father and son in dying con
dition. Clayton had been twice warned
to leave the neighbOrhood-he having
become obnoxious to some parties

John Alexander, a convict in the north

by hanging. He was resuscitated, and
then confessed the murder of a compan-

He said the crime had been pressing upon
his mind until life became uncomfortable,
and he is glad that he has made the truth
known. The murdered man was placed

heretofore supposed that he was accident
ally killed. Alexander has twenty months

Radical Differences of Opinion Regarding
the "Plan of Campaign"

New YORK, December 16.-The regu-
lar press dispatches from London say
that the development of the Tory coer-
Give policy has been checked by strong
division of opinion within the Cabinet.
Lord Ashbourne insists upon instant ac-
ton, based upon the judgment of the Irish
Judges that the anti-rent campaign is IL
legal. He favors the adoption of the Sc
verest measures, treating the national
leaguers as engaged in an illegal conspi-
racy. Sir Michael Hicks s-Beach, backed
by Lord Randolph Churchill, demands a
mild enforcement of the ordinary law.
Several members of the Government out
side the Cabinet, supporters of Lord Ash
bourne, have advised Lord Salisbury to
dismiss Sir Michael Hicks-Beach from
the office of Chief Secretary for ireland,
