WHERE he PUT HIS ARM.

lie stood outside the gate awhile,
And said Good night, with loveslck
smile.
Good night" she said. "Good night, I"
once more
He muttered as he'd done before,
And then. lured by some subtle charm,
RE came inside and put his arm
She wore hat Of jaunty shape,
1ie6 up with some soft clinging Grape,
A truant ribbon from its peak
Straye6 down and kissed her dimpled
cheek.
The moon was full, the hour was late;
AS they stood there beside the gate
His love, by Cupid'S bellows famed,
BlaZed up. He took her little hand
And muttered, Dear, what is the harm:"'
And then he gently put his arm
She wore gown of creamy white
So flmy that fairy might
Have spun it in an hour of thrift,
And sent it to her as gift.
The moon reflected, "Three's crowd,
And then politely sought cloud.
With opportunity so near,
His love welled strong and banlshed Tear,
He smiled away her first alarm,
And then he gently put his arm
A little bird came round next day
And told me that twas just this way:
He put his arm as thus they stood,
Where it would do the greatest good.

SacramSntal Wine Poisoned. i.

ROME, Aug. 26.-The Popolo Romano
publishes a sensational dispatch from
Palermo, which says that Don Guisep-
20 IL Rosa, private chaplain to the
Countess OF Mazzarino, while celebra-
ting mass in the presence of the family
suddenly fell to the floor 10 violent con-
vulsions, his limbs Writhing and froth
foaming upon his lips. He WAS speed
~ removed to his private apartments,
but before medical aid could be sum-
moned he died in fearful agony. The
same dispatch says that an investiga-
tion revealed the fact that the chaplain
had been poisoned with corrosive subli-
mate, which had been put in the sacra-
mental wine served at the mass. The
police of Palermo are making strenu-
Gus efforts to discover the perpetrator
of the shocking crime.

Hist! spcck lower replied Fran
cisco, cautiously. "IVe are ready to
meet and call together the faithful, the
loyal and courageous sons Of Cuba to
lay some plans whereby our liberty may
be obtained"
''And where is to be the gathering?'
asked the young patriot eagerly. Il
have little money to offer, for the rapa'
cious Spaniard has robbed my house OF
nearly all that it possessed, but still
retain my sword and a strong right
arm to WELD it. Both are at the serv-
ice of Cuba whenever she may see tit to
claim them"
Il am well assured of that fact,
Valdcs, else l should never have con-
fiIed in you. Now, listen. As you re-
marked tonight. when I first put in an
appearance at the calaboose, that It
had been some time since l had per
formed in person the guard duty which
is exacted OF every citizen and that
there must be some reason for my com
ing this evening, it is very true, and
will make you acquainted with the
cause.
What is it, Francisco? I am all at
tentioa"
Then, to begin, knew well it was
Senor Guezala's night in charge. Now,
he is friend of our party, but not as
ardent one as we might wish. He is
too conservative and over-cautious for
these times. He will not openly es-
pouse our cause, neither will he place
any obstacle in our way that might
otherwise lead to success. We, that is,
nv father, the don, and two or three
others whom YOU know, have prevailed
upon Signor Guczala to absent himself
from duty this night, knowing that if he
were not present the work of station
ins the civil guard would devolve upon
me. Now, think can select those OF
our number who may be trusted, and
they shall be assigned for service in
that portion Of the city where our lead
crs propose to meet"
That is good, that is good" replied
Haas, rubbing his hands joyfully.
Who are they? Whom can we trust?
Surely Coras is not Of the number"
NO, indeed! That man is more to
be dreaded than the governor general
himself. Here is a list. Take it; You
are acquainted with every name which
it bears. Read it through, and then
destroy the paper, that it may not be
found to crimiuate anyone in case we
arc detected. I want you, Valdes, to
gather these men together and tell
them just what have told you. The
meeting is to be at my fathers house.
Midnight is the hour set for assembly,
and the watchword is Cuba, or

CHAPTER II.

WEOG WILL he SERVE!
When the bells in the old cathedral,
beneath which reposed the bones OF
Columbus, rang forth the hour Of nine,
their somewhat discordant notes fell
upon the ear of Felipe Coras, as he was
seated in a brilliantly lighted cafe,
leisurely slipping glass of wine, while
he racked his brain in the effort to solve
some abstruse problem.
Il would give a thousand piasters to
know what is on foot tonight" he NUT
tered to himself. THAT something is
in the wind am positive, else Francisco
Cebanoswould not have come on guard,
but have sent hCeling in his place as
usual. Saints confound him! hate
the man! What if he were connected
with some political intrigue. But then
if he were, it would be for Cuba, and I
am Cuban. Pshaw! what Of that? If
I could detect him in plot against the
government, Spanish bullets would have
some work to do 10 his case at least.
Why wouldn't it be a good idea to
watch the don's house? 1t has long
been whispered abroad that he is in the
habit of uttering rebellfous sentiments.
Yes, that is what I will do. Keep an
eye upon the movements Of the father;
perchance thereby enenare the son; and
in so doing compel the naughty daugh-
ter to listen to my suit which now she
spurns."
Having arrived at this conclusion, the
miscreant Cuban drained his glass 70
the bottom, arose, and, tightening his
sword-belt, proceeded toward the door
way.
AS the officer was stopping out upon
the street he encountered man some
what shabbily dressed, who was shut
fling along barefooted, and probably
vending his way homeward.
Not sign of recognition passed be-
tween the two individuals, but when
they had separated perhaps ten feet,
Coras paused, turned, and called in 4 low
voice: Jose. jose Culvo. Come here, l
want YOU"
Hearing his name mentioned, the per
son addressed halted. then retraced his
steps. What does the scnor want
with Jose Calvo2 He has done naught
for many months that would warrant
placing him in the calaboosc."

you in the calaboose? I have some
work for YOU to perform. Draw hithcy

Lost to the Democracy.

FARRENsBURG, No, August 81
Missouri Will have Third Party. That
was settled yesterday when the Farm
ers' Alliance State Convention deposed
L. S. Hall from the presidency and
elected Leverett Leonard his successor.
President Hall represented the conser-
yative element of the Alliance, which
opposed the Third Party and the Ocala
platform, the sub-treasury scheme in
cluded. Leonard represents the radical
element of the Alliance which tayors
the Third Party movement and the
sub-treasury scheme.

the attention OF army officers on
soldiers, if such should happen to be
about, and not to allow any Of the
populace to gather upon the street
corners, but to keep them moving. Do
you understands"
Truly, I do, Francisco. But may not
we, who are true patriots, be ad-
mitted to the conference"
Nay, nay, Valdes. Our duty lies
upon the outside, while sager heads
than ours discuss some means whereby
the tyrants may be overthrown. Now,
we will return to the guardhouss and
to duty"

FAULKNER. S. D.. Aug. 29.-All of the
north western part of Faux county was
burned over last night by a terrible and
destructive fire, twenty miles wide and
extending from Faulkton, fifty miles
northward. AS far as the eye could
reach the sky was lit up with burning
stacks of hay and grain. The farmers
are ruined. For space of twenty miles
not a foot of grass is left for the stock

cannot be estimated yet. 4 heavy gale

with Hudson Garland, distinguish
ed lawyer, who practiced with Hon.
Jas. E. Bailey. Miss Bette Garland
is the surviving daughter by this
marriage. Her second marriage was
with Prof. w. "A. Forbes of Stewart
College, who was made Colonel Of
the 18th Tennessee Regiment in the
Confederate service, and was killed in
the fight at the second BEETLE of Man
assas. One son, VIM. Forbes, sur
wives her by this marriage.
Mrs. Forbes had been an invalid
for number of years. Some two
years ago she was attacked with
hemorrhage of the brain, and since
that time she has been the loving
care CT her family and friends. The
funeral service took place at two
O'Clock this afternoon, DIR. w. M,
