of tie two threw back her heavy Grape
veil.
Holbrook was struck with the marvel
Gus beauty of the face thus uncovered
before h;m-a face almost coloriess, of
marble whitene5s, exquisite in form and
feature, delicate, refined and sensitive,
two large, soft brown eyes looked upon
him appealingly, soft brown hair crown
ed the beautiful face; she was slight and
petite in figure.
In low, sweet voice she said:
"My name is Templeton-Annie Tenn
pleton. This is my mother"
The lady referred to threw back her
veil to acknowledge the bow of Mr.. Hol-
brook
She was at least 50 years Of age, prob
ably older, with silver hair; truly the
mother of her daughter, having the same
refinement and sensitiveness of feature
and expression, the same brown eyes,
though somewhat dimmed-a sad face
and worn-not face to battle with the
world, Quite evidently she was one of
those who are tcd. who do not lead.
The young lady continued:
1--WE are the mother and sister of the
Mr.. Templeton who was foully murdered
in Union square"

we want to do. We have been SO disap-
pointed. The coroner seems to have
washed his hands of the whole matter,
and the police give us no satisfaction OF
hope We have no friends in the city
we are quite alone. But we thought
that as you had been a witness of the
terrible deed we would call upon you
and ask if there was anything you saw
that has not been made public"
The helplessness and the innocence OF
the two women, impelled by love for a
son and brother to an enterprise fo1
which they were wholly untitled, touch
ed Ho.brook; he felt boundless pity fo1
them, and he was surprised at it, for his
sympathes were not particularly quick.
There were mute appeals for help in
the brown eyes of both, clouded with
tears as they looked upon him.
He felt choking sensation in his
throat and could hardly realize it.
81 believe, madam, all that is known
of the sad affair has been made public
1 am aware the police authorities are
completely mystified, and now have the
theory that Mr.. Templeton was attack.
ed under the impression he was some one
else"
THAT is what the detectives told us,
said the mother; "but is it not awful thai
in crowded city man can be SO killed
without reason?"
"The case has been surrounded with
mystery from the beginning" replied
Holbrook, gravely. "Mr. Templeton':
life in the city has been carefully in.
quired into, and nothing ELECTED to sug
gest an enmity that could end in muir
der. His life was thoroughly reputable
honorable, upright and virtuous."
The eyes of the two women blessed
him for his words. He continued:
perhaps you would permit me to ask
you some questions"
"Oh. please do" cried the sister. ave

said Holbrook, not very brightly, but for
the sake of saying something that would

His effort was successful, but some
high expectations were tumbled and he
was filled with establishment when he
heard her unfold it.

Smyih rode In his last battle. The hos sc

die, blanket, sword and pistol holsters
that were on the horse the day that
General Smyth received his death wound.
This will I've the only occasion except one
upon which these relics, held sacred by
Mrs. SmytN, have been exhibited since
the war, and Mr.. Ward has been ex-
Ceedingly fortunate ia securing them for
Tomorrow.
The sight of these honored war-worn
relics will naturally arouse sentiments OF
loyalty in the hearts OF the Generals

back to the scenes Of many hard-iought
