gave one loud shrek. A scene ofswild
excitement followed, as the crowd ex-
pected to see Cook fall to the pavement
and be dashed to death. Cooks face
turned black from the effects of the
heavy shock, but he recovered his
senses long enough to shout: ''For
Gods sake cut the wire" The deadly
current again rendered him uncon-
scious. Another lineman rushed to his
rescue and cut the wire. Cooks hands
were terribly burned

FEAST OF HUMAN FLESH.
The Body of a Child Sold for Meat by A.,
Inhuman Mother.

WASHINGTON, GA. May 25.-There are
terrible rumors afioat in some sections of
this county of horrible crime committed
by a negro woman. crime which has
never been investigated The details of this
crime are revolving. and in view Of the fact
that no official investigation has been made
the general truthfulneSS of the story may
be doubted, although it is common talk
among the negroes.
The story is that negro woman. living
near Deli, murdered small child and
cooked it like meat. She then gave what
she called IA hot SUPPER sold the meat of
the child. and called it tender veal. She re
ceived SIS for the sale of the meat. The
negroes asked what sort of meat il was,
and little negro child said it was her little
sister that mamma had killed. One negro
carried one of the bones of the child to 4
doctor, and he said it was the bone of a
human. The report says that the negroes
ate every morsel of the child in the belief
that thev We're eating veal, and after supper
there was dance, while whisky flowed
freely.
The woman who had thus killed and
cooked the child refused to eat any of it.
This strange abstinence was remarked by
her guests, who became suspicious, and all
sorts of reports We're III circulation.
The strange part Of the story Is that while
the negroes are talking loudly of the matter
in some sections. they have not given the
name of the woman accused of the awful
crime The talk. however. will lead TO an
investigation which will clear up the mys-
terry. One negro said ne would be willing
TO tie rope around the woman's neck, put
the rope over limb of a tree. pull her Just
off the ground and carry Eghtwood knots
to burn her to death

trice had been found upon the altar where
she certainly had no business to be, and
that Unorna had acted like guilty woman,
there was little TO lay hold of ia the way OF
fact.

know more of the truth and have better ad-

polished shelf and supporting her head in

Sister Paul'S faded eyes.

and motioned 10 him to follow her example.

took his seat.
My father died week ago." said Bea-
trice gravely.
Keyork' face assumed all the expression
of which it was capable.
Il am deeply grieved,' he said, moderat-
ing his huge voice to a soft and purring sub
bass. He was an old and a valued
friend"
There was moments silence. Keyork,
who knew many things, was well aware
that a silent feud, of which he also knew
tho cause, had existed between father and
daughter when he had last been with them,
and he rightly judged from his knowledge
of their obstinate characters that it had
lasted to the end He thought, therefore,
that his expression of sympathy had been
sufficient and could pass muster.
I asked you to come" said Beatrice at
last, because | wanted your help in a mat

that You know person who calls herself
Unorna, and who lives here!''
Keyors's bright blue eyes scrutinized her
face. He wondered how much she know.

though not AT all surprised.

what form the question would take, and
preparing to meet a surprise with indiffer-

immense gravity. meeting her eyes and lay

honor than he did himself, which was not
saying much. But she had counted upon
surprising him, and she Succeeded, to q

his plan was soon formed

He made the last remark quite carelessly,
as though he attached no importance to the
fact.
