Mrs. Bond said a great deal more,
all to the same effect, then arose and
left me, bearing herself with a cold
dignity and lofty disdain that chilled
me to the core.

He paused, and, turning his head,
stared long time ont across the wide
prairie. knew he vas suffering the
most exquisite pain, for his face was
strangely blanched and drawn while
heartrending signs escaped him. At
last he turned again to me.

able? Win nothing can do or say

suffering is bitter and my disappoint-
ment great. Remember my whole
future happiness is at stake. Give me
thread of hope, and no matter how
slender it is will wait cheerfully,
even for years, doing everything in my
power to win your love. Remember,
Agnes, how much depends on you, and

did not believe that he had any i'm.
proper designs, for never once since his
return had he reverted to the theme
with which he had so startled me ON
two or three occasions before he went
away. 1t was my opinion that in his
absence he had thought the matter
over aud seen how wrong his conduct
had been, and that now ne was trvinr
to atone for it, and make me feel that
he sincerely regretted it.

Lincoln j. Carter's superb scenic
production, the Fast Mail" which
will be presented at the opera-house
next Tuesday evening, by an excel.
lent company, is one of the most sue
cessiul plays put upon the stage in
recent years. The story is thrilling,
and justice is done the startling and
reslistic scenes by perfection Of me-
chanical effects. Among other re-
productions is representation OF an
engine room Oh a Mississippi river
steam boat, with the furnaces under
the boilers fired up; train of cars
shoots across the stage in the scene,
and in another there is a vivid, beau
tiful and aWe.inspiring representa-
ton Of Niagara Falls by moonlight,
with the singing waters and graceful
mist that rise above and about it.
The play is said to be excellent
throughout.

WHISKY AND SUICIDE.
Sidney Young, After Night of Debauch,
Attempts Suicide.
Column bla Herald. Noy. 17.l

Columbia Herald, Nov. III
Sidney Young, one of the soldiers
stationed at the arsenal suicided this
morning by shooting himself in the
head.
The rash act was committed on East
Seventh street, in an abandoned part
Of the city. The suicide is about
twenty eight years old. He came here
froGl Indianapolis, Ind, the 18th day
Of last May was one year ago, and en-
listed as private soldier at the arsen-
al, where he has brother.
He was Democrat in politics, and
last night Major Arnold gave him
furlough to attend the Democratic
Publication. lie was to return to the
arsenal after the celebration. Instead
he got drunk and spent the night in
town in the company Of abandoned
women.
He seemed to have a perfect horror
of being taken back to the arsenal and
punished according to the army rules.
This morning Major Arnold detailed
Corporal Gall to find Young and take
him back to the arsenal. The Corpor-
al located him and started to where he
was. When Young saw the Corporal
coming toward him he turned and ran
a little ways, but seeming to realize
that fight was useless, he pulled a
pistol from his pocket and shot him
self in the temple.
Medical aid was summoned, but to
no purpose, though what could be
done was done. The wounded man
was carried to his home at the arsenal
and tenderly cared for. At this hour
he is still breathing, but it is not be-
lieved he can last many hours.
