It is great power to have known the worst and bitterest that can befall the human life, and yet not be hardened. No sufferer can resist the fine magnet ism of wise and uniutrusive pity. It is as mild and healia. as music by night to fevered sleeplessness.
 The lady's protective armor of stern- ness was presently thrown aside. She perceived that she need not wear it against man who was brother to every desolate soul-sisterly indeed, so delicate vas his comprehension of the wants of a woman's nature. In fact, both father and daughter, as soon as they discovered that we were ready to be their friends, met us frankly. It was easy to see, poor soulsi that it was long since they had found any one fit company for them, any one whose presence could excite the care beguiling collaboration of worthy society. They savored the aroma of good breeding with appetite.

A SENSATION.
A NINE DAYS WONDER IN A SMALL TOWN. FACTS AND DETAILS FROM OUR OWN DOES NOT SURPRISE US.

A
 FACTS AND DETAILS FROM OUR OWN
 CORRESPONDENT. SURPRISED MANY BUr
 DOES NOT SURPRISE US.
 Mansfield, Ohio, is not large place, but it has certainly experienced great sensation.
 The people are not done talking about it yet, and indeed it will furnish the sub- ject for conversation for long time to come, as well as food for thought.
 Our correspondent, c. c. Coulter, who is a prominent and influential citizen of Mansfield and agent of the Rockford Oll) Silver Plate Co.,, has furnished us with the facts and details, which we are positive will prove most interesting to our readers.
 II have brother, Harry E. Coulter, 21 years of age, writes MT. Coulter, "who had never done days work in his life; never ran ten rods in his life-indeed could not even walk fast.
 "Heart disease was his trouble. Last fall he got the Grip and went down, down, down.
 1.-Two of our best physicians treated him.
 His tongue was coated badly, had back-ache, urine high-colored, brick dust sediment-worst ever saw.
 His stomach was almost as hard as a board, in fact, we gave up all hopes of his life
 "He quit the doctors aud commenced using Dr. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy, and nothing else. and the third day was better. He is now better than he ever was in his life, can run and do violent exercise and not suffer in the least.

CHAPTER K.
FATHER AND DAdJGHTER,


 ."Come, gentlemen" said the father in a lively way. "We are all campaigners. Sit down and take cup of tea with us. No ceremony. A la guerre, comlne Ia guerre. cannot give you Sevres porce- lain. am afraid even my delf is d little cracked; but we'll fancy it whole and painted with roses. Now plenty of tea. Ellen dear. Guests are too rare not to be welcomed with our very best. Be- aides, expect Brother Sizzum after his camp duties are over."
 It was inexpressibly dreary, this feeble conviviality. In the old gentleman's heart it was plain that disappointment and despondency were the permanent tenants. His gayety seemed only a mockery-a vain essay to delu1e him. self into the thought that he could be happy even, for moment. His voice, even while he tested, was hollow and sorrowful. There was g trepidation in his manner, half hope, half fear, as if he dreaded that some one would presently announce to him q desperate disaster or fancied that some sudden piece of good luck was about to befall him, and he must be all attention lest it pass to an other. Nothing of the anxiety of q guilty man about him-of one who hears pursuit in the hum of cricket or the buzz of a bee; only the uneasiness of one flying forever from himself and hop ing that some chance bliss will hold his flight and give him moments forget fulness..
 We of course accepted the kindly in yitation. Civilization was the novelty to rs. Tea with a gentleman and lady was 8 privilege qpite unheard of. w should both have been ready to devote ourselves to a woman far less charming than our hostess.

 There is 8 small but ancient fraternity in the world known as the Order of Gentlemen. It is grand old order A poet has said that Christ founded it; that he was ''the first true gentleman that ever lived"
 I cannot but distinguish some person ages of far of antiquity as worthy mem ibers of this fellowship. I believe 1t coeval with man. But Christ stated the precept of the order, when he gave the whole moral law in two clauses love to. God and love to the neighbor.

ATTEMPTED ABDUCTION.

Mysterious Conduct OF an Unknown
Couple Regarding a High school
Pupil.
something akin to sensation was pu t
In circulation by what may have been an
attempt at abduction of young school
girl who is attending the High school, this
morning. About 10 o'clock a strange
man and woman made their appearance
~ the home of Mrs. Belle Stanton, 800
Nineteenth street. The man remained
outside at the gate and the woman en-
tered the yard and raped at the door. 1t
was answered by a young lady who is
boarding at the Stanton house, and upon
opening the door the visitor inquired if
Cloe stanton was in. and upon receiving
a negative reply she left and was
again Joined by her companion
at the gate, and the couple left.
As Miss Cloe, who is about 16 years of
age. was attending school the family be.
came alarmed and her sister, Miss Eva,
started for the High school building, whe e
the young lady attends. to bring her.
home. On her way there she
again met the stranger, who had
in the meantime been joined by
another woman. Miss Stanton stopped
the trio and asked what was wanted of
her sister, to which one of the women re-
piled that it was none of her business
The elder Miss Stanton then went to the
school building and accompanied her sis.
ter home and nothing has since been
heard of the s:rengers. A reporter for

home this afternoon and was informed
that none Of the family had the least idea
who the strangers were or what their OBJ
ject could have been. They are de-
scribed as being rather rough looking peo-
pie and an effort will be made to locate

Manager Sage of the Twin City ball
club, received this morning the following
telegram from New York City:
New YORK, May "a I broke my ankle
playing against Cuban Giants; will report
when better. MCGUIRK
McGuirk having already disappointed
the local management as to reporting,
this information was exceedingly sggrs~
waiting and grave doubts arose in Presi-
dent Hodges mind as to whether Nc
Guirk was not trying to play horse with
him, and he at once determined
upon decisive action to ascertain.
Accordingly he telegrsphed Inspector
Byrnes, of the New York police, to as
certain the condition and character of
McGuirk, and if his leg was not broken
to arrest him at once, as he holds $50 of
the local clubs money and ticket to
Rock Island. Even should it prove true
that McGuirk has been injured he is re-
prehensible, as he should have left New
York Sunday night. Had he sustained
his injuries before that time he shoald
have telegrsphed before. II he is not in.
jured the local management will not only
prosecute him. but black list him as a
player.
This afternoon President Hodges tele-
graphed N. E. Young, secretary OF the Ma.
tionsl league. to black list Barney Nc
Laughlin, Of Lowell, Mass. who failed to
report to the Twin-City team after having
