Highland Chief

THIS celebrated stallion will make the
IL season of 1888 at his stable near the
mouth of crooked creek, upon the fol-
lowing terms: Ten dollars for each SER
vice; twenty dollars for the season with
no privilege of return, or thirty dollars
to insure. Persons wishing to avail
themselves of the service of this horse
should signify their intention to breed
at an early date, as he will be limited
this season IN less number of mares
than he has heretofore served in any sea-
son for the last three years During the
season of 1887, Highland Chief became
standard, through the performance of
his colts, and is now registered as
standard Horse No. 1927, in Wallace
Trotting Register. Upon information
derived from the same source it can be
asserted of Highland Chief that he is
the first Horse in West Virginia to make
himself standard through his colts
This fact alone will be sufficient recom-
mendation to horsemen, and is an ac-
complishment which does not require
any comment to establish the reputa-
ton of any Horse who performs it.

Sample Case OF Blackmailine.

Not long ago q man well known in So
cial, business and club circles had trouble
with his wife, q beautiful and accom-
plished woman, and they separated, the
intention Oeing to eventually become d.
vOrced. So quietly was the affair man
aged that none but their most intimate
friends knew that they had disagreed, and
the acquaintance of the couple only knew
that the wife was visiting friends aud
relatives in New York. In an evil mo
ment the young wife employed a private
detective to shadow her husband, daily
reports to be sent to her. These reports
were sent, and the wife was astonished.
She didn't have any idea before what the
life Of a club man might be. Then, wo
mal-like, she determined to win her hus-
band back. She wrote him, the quarrel
was patched up, and the pair lived to-
gether again.
Their home was a happy one. The
husband fOrsook his gay companions and
compromising associations of both sexes
and became domesticated. One night
there was a knock at the door. The hus-
band responded; it was a visitor for his
wife. When the lady entered the parlor
she recognized the private detective. She
had been foolish enough TO write him two
OF three letters, and these he had, to-
gether with copies Of letters he had
written her concerning the private life of
her husband. The wife had peid the
agency by which this man was employed,
but this made no difference. What the
man wanted was a loan, and he got IL.
He has solicited several loans since then,
and has never been refused. In the mean
time the husband remains in ignorance Of
the drains on his wife's purse, but cheer
fully foots all lls.-Chicago Cor. New

his master.
The old mar never recovered the shock Of
her death, though he persisted to the end in
his belief in her guilt, and he died miserably
only two days before his sons return. For u
long time past he had become strange in his
ways, and had turned night into day, wall
dering about the house at all hours. 50 that it
was scarcely surprising that, left to itself as
it was after his death, the place should have
come by the uncanny reputation of which its
master had spoken.
OF one thing 1 was left in no doubt, al
though never had it from his own lips, and
that was the superstitious horror with which
its owner himself regarded the house; but
that horror was dominated, as the event
proved, by a still stronger influence. That
his fathers uneasy spirit haunted the scene
of his cruelty and injustice he was fully per
Suaded, and he had confided to Lisa more
than once his further conviction that by
some means yet-natural OF supernatural
the charge brought against the poor creature
who had fallen a victim to it would he
cleared up. He had employed me as his tool,
and, hopeless of my following up the clew 1
had found, had worked himself up to the re-
quired pitch and gone, heaven only knows in
what state of mind, to surely as strange an
encounter as ever man contemplated.
What he saw can only be matter of sur
mise; he lived for a year or more, all his
faculties restored to him, but minus any
memory and quite tractabie and gentle.
My own belief is that the missing notes, the
hiding place of which l have no moral doubt
was discovered to him that night, must have
been secreted there by the elder Van Decker
mann himself, under the influence OF SOM
nambulism, though that he was a somnam-
bulist l have III evidence to show. AL I
know is that the face saw was the face of one.
At Mr.. Van DeckerInanE's death it was
found that by a will, made some months be-
fore his fatal visit to it, he had begueathed
the Cedars, with other more desirable prop
erty, to me-. To the best of my belief, its
supernatural history had come to an end with
the catastrophe of which this is the record,
but the terms on which it was left to HE were
happily unconditional, and u terrace of small
houses, given up to the most prosaic assceia-
lions, occupies the site of it.

that heat is not in the lightning, but it is
made at that point at which the lightning
meets an obstacle. Thus from the sun
some substance or potentiallty may 60

something retards it. This exile may
meet its first foe near the suns disk, and

well for them and for their master, and while
be lay, as he Lie Lie, for many days between
life and death. there sprang up between them
and myself q certain mutual respect and con-

It was from Lisa I heard as much a. there
was to tell in the way of explanation Of what

30 much in the bare fact of his cousins death,
but in the terrible circumstances accompany
ing it, there had lain the overpOwerinS
anguish of which we had been per-
mitted a glimpse. Old Van Deckermann,
Gus of all around him as the years went ON,
had at last, after emptying the house of

similar charges, accused his niece of the
theft Of a large sum of money, and had posi-

TO the theory advanced by his father that
the robbery had been committed on his be-
half. Had the truth as to the young man's
position been known, it must have been seen
az once how untenable was the argument,
but his cousin in her strangely isolated life
had made no condolences, and the poor thing
had not the strength of mind to wait for that
redress of wrong which time must inevitably
have brought her. Whether open or closed
to her, within her uncle's doors 1t was i'm
