Mr.. David A. Hargis, of Little
River township, shot aud killed a
white squirrel rear Gray's mill last
week. He stuffed the squire! and
brought it to town Tuesday. The
only difference between the white
squirrel and our gray squirrel, is the
color. We have often beard of the
white squirrel, but don't remember
ever seeing one before.

himself, grouping the actors in 10 after
the fashion of tableau at the wind up
of comedietta-
At the very time that his lordship,
taking his ease in mis- inn, was thus anx-
iously pondering a certain momentous
question, tho same question was being
discussed by the rector and his daughter
from their point of view
In the course of the day following that
Of Mr.. Gascoignes first visit to the rec
tory Miss Eermor strolled over to Jonquil
cottage, ostensibly for the sake of a little
gossip with Mrs. Jenrick, but in reality
with quite a different object in view. She
had remembered that in the widows
bookcase was a volume of "Dod," which
although it dated back some three or
four years, would doubtless supply her
with the information she was so anxious
to obtain. She had always had the run
of Mrs. Jenrick's bookcase; it Vas nothing
fresh for her to choose a book out of it
and take it home to read. After she had
taken down half q dozen volumes this
afternoon, and had glanced casually at
them, she took down the "Dod." Chat
ting to the widow meanwhile, a minute
sufficed her to find what she wanted
There, among other particulars, she read
as follows: "James Bevan Fitz-Julian
Gascoigne, fifth Earl of Chestnut. Born
IS, succeeded to the title IS. Bel
took Park, Northumberland; Marish
House, Essex; No. 5S Trevanion Square
London" The words danced before
e.,
then, with gentle suspiration, she shut
up the volume and put it back in its
place.
Seeing, however, that one cannot be
too sure of ones facts in matters of i'm
portance, Margery wrote next day to
johnny Transom, son of the late DR..
Transom, of Whiteapple, Margery's play
fellow in days Como by, and at present a
bank clerk in London, asking him to OBJ
tain for her portrait Of Lord Chestnut
and forward it with rs little delay as
possible. She was quite aware that
there was nothing in the world Johnny
wouldn't do to please her.
Four days later the hkeness--a cabinet
size half length photograph--came to
hand. johnny wrote that he had had
some difficulty in obtaining it, Lord
Chestnut not being much of public
character; but there it was. Any doubt
as to the personality Of MIR. Gascoigne'
which might have fingered in the mind
OF either the rector or his daughter was
now dispolled
Since then, as already stated, month
had gone by.
