Mrs. R. G. Peters and her ten ear-daugh

outside who first detected the fire saw four
men run away from the building in different
directions.
The Peters woman was known to have a
large sum OF money in the house and there is
every reason to believe that desperadoes from

Bloodhounds were secured and put upon

Marion was beginning to look forward
to the time when Hugh's time would
expire, but her days Of waiting ended
suddenly, when, with the news of the
conquest on Lookout mountain she
learned that Hugh's life had been part
of the price paid for the victory. That
he had died at his post did not ease the
pain at her heart, and after the pine
box containing what his comrades sent
home as his mangled body was laid
away by the side of his dead kindred,
she shed many bitter tears over the fresh
made grave.
But Hugh Curtis did not sleep in that
quiet tomb, for far away under south
ern sky he tossed to and fro upon his
couch in a prison hospital He was
not exchanged until the war closed, and
then, knowing that his friends had
long ago given him up as dead, he deter
mined never to undeceive them, but to
make for himself a lonely home in the
sunny south.
The years came and went until more
than g score was gone, and yet in all
that time Hugh had never heard a word
from the old home, nor looked upon a
face that was once familiar. Still he
was restless and disconnected, and the
yearning in his heart for the old kome
and old associates was at times almost
beyond endurance.
just tyyenty-One years after Marion had
spurned him from her as a coward, he
determined to crafty his lOngings by
paying a visit to his native town.
There was some delay in the journey,
but early on the second morning after he
left his southern home he stepped up
on the platform of the little hamlet
where his bOyhOod days had been spent.
The village itself had not changed
much, but all the faces he looked into
were strange, and no one seemed to
recognize the gray-haired man passing
along the quiet street At first he did
not understand the meaning of the
flags and flowers that were displayed
in such profusiOn on almost every
dwelling, but after moments thought
he recOllected that it was the SOth OF
May, Decoration day in the north.
Not wishing to disturb Ben's folks so
early in the morning, he turned into
the cemetery to read the names upon
stones that had been placed there since
he went away.
II wonder if there are any new
graves in our old burying ground" he
said aloud, crossing over to the other
side of the cemetery. ''Ah, there is
One-a soldiers grave, - he said, STOPPING
down to read the name on the marble
slab. My God! 1t is my own epitaph
I am reading" he exclaimed, start
ing back quickly.
just at that moment a slight figure,
carrying a cross made entirely of white
flowers, came through the pine thiclSet
beyond, and laid the offering on the
grave-his grave.
She did not utter word, but tears
fell thick and fast over that grave, dug
nearly a score of years before. He
could not see her face and thought ii

Insurnnce AdJustera To Answer For Viola

LEAvENwORTH, Kan, May 26.-Ths
preliminary trial of the insurance ad-
justers and members of the Sunfiopyer
club who were arrested IN this city a
short time ago for violating the insur-
ance laws of Kansas ended after a trial
of four days. It was had before Judge
White and every legal point was
bitterly contested by leading at
tOrneys who were present from
different points of the state repre-
senting the insurance companies. The
facts brought out during the trial were
that a number of insurance men who
make their headquarters in Kansas
City came to Leavenworth and called
on local agent named James Graham,
whom they accused of writing policies
at cut rates They demanded of him
that he Immediately cancel all such
policies or they would take away his
companies and ruin his business. Ora

mand, when they attempted to get pos

scene ensued. It all ended in era
ham having three adjusters arrested
on a charge of felony for violating the
recently enacted state insurance law.
Il - as also clearly proven that the Sun
flower club was a band of regulators
with headquarters IA other states,
whose principal object was to keep up
insurance rates and evade the Kansas
law. Judge White bound the three de-
