saw letter. In moment it flashed across
me that she had been writing to Jack a
Confession of something which would be
discreditable to her memory, and now
could do him no good; and, quick as a
thought, l transferred it to my pocket.
Then, in all haste, got Keziah to sum-
mon the doctor, and did what could to
restore animation to Alice's frame and
console Jack.
Ia both these attempts was unsuccess-
full, and when the doctor came, after a
slight examination, he declared she was
dead, and had been quite two hours
heart disease. If, therefore, Alice died a
little before s, who, or what, was the figure

the drawing-room door as the clock struck
that hour?
Poor Jack was quite broken-hearted
and ineonsolable, and long before his leave
was up rejoined his regiment, it having
volunteered for service against the Zulus,
declaring that the only thing to save him
from madness. was hard fighting.
After he left summoned courage one
day to read the last lines Alice Lvnton's
hand had ever penned. 1t was a letter to
her husband, begging his forgiveness for
her sin against him. A mad, wild,
broken-hearted letter, and from it / gath
cred that she had met and loved Denzil
some years before, but both being poor
marriage between them was forbidden by
her father. Then my poor Jack met and
fell in love with her beautiful face, and
she, obeying her arbitrary parent, married
him for the sake of his eight hundred a
year.
Then came the voyage to England. An
unfortunate one, for on board the City of
Trent she met Denzil and his sister, who
had come in for little money and were
going to England to take possession of it.
The old afection-crushed and forced
back-woke again with redoubled force,
and at last, after desperate struggles and
vain repinings, Alice Lynton consented to
forget her duty, TO give up all that woman
holds dear, and fly with Gerald Denzil on
the night her adoring, trusting husband
was expected to arrive.
Death mercifully stepped in and saved
her from the stigma of dishonor and inef-
faceable disgrace and misery.

Major was most to be pitied, for Jack still

her honor, and that, moreover, she died
with horrible suddenness OF the eve of

A Macon (Ga.) salesman while travelling
on Southern road was greatly surprised
when woman occupying an adjoining seat
whispered in his ear that his personal

She was woman Of 45,, and by no means

The complaint sets forth that in December,
1899, Police Sergeant Thomas ID. Nc

hatred against The plaintiff and had him
arrested and fined 500 for an act which is
not a crime; that when plaintiff was liber-

the defendant repeatedly for the arrest of
plaintiff; that he had him railroaded to the

and arranged with the defendant to refuse
bail; that plaintiff was detained all night in
a vile dungeon, breathing the morbid eXhal-

SOAKED WITH BLOOD.
The Clothing That Was Worn by Isaac

The Clothing That Was Worn by Isaac
SawtelI.
The result of the analysis Of the stains
found on Isaac Sawtelrs clothing, which
was recently completed by Professor E. S.
Wood of Harvard University, is the strong
est clincher the prosecution has secured in
the line of new evidence against Isaac Saw
tell, says a Dover On. H. special to the
Boston Herald. 1t disposes Mt once of the
Jack" theory in the accused mans alleged
confession or statement and leaves little
room for doubt that Isaac killed his brother.
The result of the analysis is that the
stains on his garments were caused by
arterial blood, and that there was a much
greater quantity on the clothing than the
external examination, made at the time Of
the discovery, seemed to indicate. Isaac's
undergarmentS and Overcoat were lite ally
covered with blood. As for his pantaloons,
jacket and vest, the prosecution will show at
tile trial that those he wore the day Hiram
was Killed have never been seen since, and
that the accused man must have disposed Of
them in the same manner that he did
Hiram's head and clothing and the shovel.
Not only was blood found on lsaae's cloth
ing and on the carriage cushions, but on the
plckaX; which was found in the woods less
than two months ago, as stated exclusively
ment had number of dark brown spots,
which even the exposure to ali sorts of
weather and the incuTsiuns of time failed to
etface. Professor Wood has also ascertained
that these stains were caused by arteIial
blood, in all probability from the body of
the same person as the blood found on

ORDER ON JUDGE HOGE.
Mrs. Coffey's Case Against the Youn
Mans Ink.fiute.

Mrs. Coffey's Case Against the Young
Mems Institute.
Additional counsel has been employed by
the defendant and counter proceeding in
itiated in the case of Mrs. Mary Coffey VS..
the Young Mems Institute, in which the
plaintiffs attorneys are moving the Supreme
Court to dismiss the appeal taken by the
institute from Superior Judge Hoge's de-
cision.
Admitting that they did not file their
transcript on appeal within forty days from
the date of qualification of their bondsmen,
they contend that time does not run against
them because Judge Hoge refused to settle
their statement on motion for a new trial.
Accordingly they have obtained an order
from the Supreme Court directing Judge
Hoge to either settle the statement or show
cause on the 22d inst.
Judge Hoge says the statement was not
presented to him in time; he was perfectly
willing to settle and sign it, but had no
authority to do so against the opposition of
Mrs. Coifey's lawyers, who insisted on their
Legal rights.
