A CRIME, artistic in its horror, is reported
from Wiosolburg, Hungary. Sixteen years
ago the son of poor peasant went to Amer
lea, and by industry saved $4,000. He re-
solved TO return home, and changed his
money into English sovereigus. 1t was
late when he arrived at his fathers house.
His mother was not there at the moment,
but his father embraced him. The son,
being weary, retired early to bed The
father did not tell the mother when she
came of who the stranger was, resolving to
wait until morning and then let the son re-
veal himself to the joy and surprise of the
mother. The latter got up during the night
and examined the strangers baggage, and,
finding the gold, larger sum than she had
ever dreamed of, determined to possess it.
The husband and father slept on. The
mother stealthily got knife and cut the
throat of the stranger, killing him instantly.
Then she took and hid the gold. When the
father awoke he found his son in pool of
blood on the bed. His cry of anguish and
horror aroused the wife, who had expected
to find her husband ready accomplice in
concealing the crime for the sake of the
money. The father gasped out who the
victim .was With one cry the murderess
reeled and fell dead.

trying time. Hard fare and harder
travel and yet harder fighting, perhaps,
had worn Joe out upon one occasion
during an engagement when the con-
federates were ordered TO retreat. Joe
and Buck :" were side by side, the
latter encouraging the former as best
he could and only with moderate sue
cess. To the rear were the federal
soldiers, killing all who fell behind.
Finally, at the foot Of steep hill, up
which the retreating army must 90.
Joe exclaimed: well, Buck, l must

Morgan. "No, you don't. My hands
