immortality in a Tree Ton.

Gus NJ. Setter died recently at China
Grove, Rowan County, n. @. He was
a pronounced infidel, believing In neither
God nor a future of any kind. Two
weeks before his death, knowing his
demise to be imminent, he went to a
tree near the yard and under it marked
a place for his grave, giving instruc-
tions as to how it should be dug and
his mode Of burial. He wanted layer
Of cedar brush at the bottom Of the
grave, to be filed up with dirt. He
said that when decomposition sets IN
the sap of the tree would draw him up
the limbs and he could perch on the
top of the tree and view the surround
ing scenery for ages to come. Setter
was perfectly rational to the last.

CHAPTER XVIII.
HOPING And FEARING.

HOPING AND FEARING.
AS DuIcie stood at the window of her
chamber, later in the day, she saw Philip
walking in the grounds. Her heart gave
a violent throb. She loved him with a
deathless passion that could know no
change. There was madness in the very
thought of parting,
Why not make one last appeal? She
did not expect him to take her back; but
now he thought worse of her than she de-
served If she could make him under
stand all, he would at least pity her
possibly even come to see her as friend
now and then, and life would not be q
living death.
In moment she had left the house, and
was hurrying along the path her husband
had chosen. He saw her coming, hesita-
ted an instant, then walked rapidly in the
opposite direction.
Her eyes filed with bitter tears. The
action showed more plainly than words
the estimation in which he held her. He
could not forgive her, or even tolerate her
presence.
She sank down weakly upon one of the
rustic benches. She must have been there
some time when the sound of footsteps
aroused her.
Philip was coming back. He was close
beside her before he saw the fOrlOru little
figure half hidden by swaying vines. He
would have passed on, but with swift,

She tried to speak, but her tongue trem-
bled without uttering an audible sound.
His white, angry face filed her with ter
ror.

said, between his teeth. 1T is useless.

to personate her, or nothing could have
tempted me to carry On the cruel decep-
ton.
No response. He looked at her a mo-
ment, his lips sternly compressed, then
brushed her from his path as if she had
been a worm.
DuIcie went back to her room. Her last
hope had been crushed. She could only
meet her fate with the resignation that
comes from utter despair.
She glanced round the beautiful room,
and for the first time hated even its luzu-
riss. For such things as these Philip
fancied she had stopped to treachery and

dow. Outside the birds tWittered happily,
the sunlight fell on the beautiful earth In
a shower of gold. It seemed such glO-
rioUs world TO live in.
Dulcie's heart almost suffocated her with
its beatings. The dread hour had come,
the blow fallen, and Philip had not stricken
her to the earth in the fury Of his anger.
Why was it? Why had he spared her-even
sent TOinette away?
At length she lifted her doWncast eyes
and looked at him-such a sad, Wistful
imploring, sOul-sick look as might have
melted a heart Of stone.

1t was only a whisper. He may not even
have hearu it. He still stood there, mo-
tiOnIess as a figure cut in marble.

ceived you. But this hour RtOnes for

She drew nearer, held out her hands en-
treatingly. Then he stirred from his
rigid posture at last, falling back shud-
deringly, as though there was cOntamina-
ton in her touch.

She looked at him as if stunned for a
moment, then a wild, despairing cry broke
from her.
aOh, Philip, pity me! Have mercy! My
heart is breakingl Oh, what q life
have led of late! living on, weighed down
by guilt and misery, with the awful fear
constantly before my eyes of being over
taken by the doom I have called down
upon my own head, loving on, when
love was only a misery. It is a marvel
how I have borne it so long. Believe me,
my punishment has been greater than my
sin.
Though that cry was wrung from the
very depths of her heart, it failed to soften
him. Again she took a tottering step
toward him, but it was dreadful to see the
shudder of fierce repulsiOn with which he
drew beyond her reach.
Keep away! Don't touch mel 1 want

cannot forget that you have ruined my
life"
He broke of abruptly, for Dulcie, with
a desperate moan, had fallen insensible at
his feet
His face was cold and hard as he
raised her in his arms, and laid her on
the velvet sofa. A vigorous pull at the
bell brought Mrs. Rusk quickly to the
room.
Look to your mistress, " he said, and
left her without another word.
Hours later the housekeeper knocked
at the door Of the library where he was
restlessly walking up and down.
Mrs. Raynor is better, she said, Civ
ing him curious, searching glance, @and
asked for you, sir. VIII you see her?"
Where is she?"

Rusk ventured to add, "be kind to the
sweet lady. She is almost broken

tOgraph cannot always be implicitly re.
lied upon for these purposes. A short
time ago, a man supposed to be Lucius
Smith, clerk who robbed his employ
ers in Worcester, Mass, was arrested
in Chicago. The prisoner, who gave
the name of Case, resembIed very much
the photograph of Smith sent out by
the Worcester police, and furthermore,
he resembled the defauIter in having
false upper teeth. In spite of these
points Of resemblance the police were
in doubt, and to settle the matter Case
was photographed. After examining
the photographs under magnifying
glass, and comparing them carefully,
it was decided that Case was not
Smith, although Case admitted that
Smiths picture was an excellent pOr-
trait of himself. To prevent such mis-
takes as this the Chicago police depart
ment has adopted what is called the
system of Anthropometric de-
scription. This system was in
vented by AIphonse BertiIlon, a
Frenchman, and has been in use in
Paris for several years. Briefly stated,
it consists in accurately measuring and
recording certain anatomical dimen-
Phillipsburg herald. [volume] (Phillipsburg, Kan.) 1882-1905, 1889-07-19

sions, viz: the height of the person
and length of the trunk; length and
width of the head; length of the right
ear; length of the left foot; length of
the little and index fingers of the left
hand; length. breadth and projection
Of the nose, and measurement of the
outstretched arms. To the record of
these measurements is added the color
of the left eye, and any peculiarities
which may exist in the formation of
the right ear. This apparently incon-
gruous system of classification was
adopted after much experimenting,
and it is claimed that no two persons
correspond exactly in all the points
named. In ascert8ining these dimen-
sions very delicate instruments are
used, and the metric system of measure
ment is employed. When a prisoners
identity is in doubt, it is only neces-
sary to measure him, and then find out
whether his description is on record or
not
