but as he approached he thrust his pipe into
his breast pocket, and came forward with

Lizzie St-ubsr's Body Found With Three
Bullet Holes in 1t and the Legs Gone.
Mt. VERNON, I'LL, Aug. 15.-The miss
ing Lizzie Struber's body has been found in
one of the widest parts of this county.
She was last seen Thursday night as she
passed through a section of woods driving
from her home in the southern part of this
county. just after she was last seen the
reports Of two pistol shots, followed by .
woman's scream, was heard.
Search was at once instituted but no trace
of her murderer or herself was found until
to-day, when the body of the girl was dis
covered in the woods horribly mangled,
with three bullet holes in it and both legs
cut of. The place where the crime occurred
is one of the widest parts OF this county
and particulars of the crime are hard TO get.

"But you shall never have cause to re.

II don't know. One hears such things "
"You shall be the happiest woman In Eng
land"
THAT sounds very nice. You are poet,
Mr.. Mason, are you not?"
II am lover of poetry"
"And poets are fond of fiowers?'
81 am very fond of flowers"
"Then perhaps you know something of
these?" She took out the humble little
sprig. and held it out to him with an arch
questioning glance. He took it and pressed
it to his lips,

I should wish to be-" said he
'Good evening, Mr.. Mason" 1t was
Mrs. Foster who had come out to meet
them. "Where's Mister -? Oh-ahi
Yes of course. The teapot's on the table,
and you'd best come in afore it's over
drawn"
When Elias Mason left the farm house
that evening, he drew Dolly aside at the
door,
II won't be able to come before satur-
day." said he.
1--WE shall be glad to see you, Mr.
Mason
II shall want my answer them
know
"But shall live in hope"
"Well, no one can prevent you from
doing that" As she came to realize her
power over him, she had lost something of
her fear, and could answer him now nearly
as freely as if he were simple Adam Wilson.
She stood at the door leaning against the
wooden porch, with the long trailers of
honeysuckle framing her tall, slight figure.
The great red sun was low in the west, its
upper. rim peeping over the low hills,
shooting long, dark shadows from the beech
tree in the field, from the little group of
tawny cows, and from the man who walked
away from her. She smiled to see how i'm
mense the legs were and how tiny the body
in the great fiat giant W hich kept pace with
him. In front OF her in the little garden
the bees droned, a belated butterfly or an
early moth futtered slowly over the flower
beds, thousand little creatures buzzed and
hummed, all busy working out their tiny
destinies, as she, too, was working out hers,
and each doubtless looking upon their own
as the central point of the universe. A few
months for the gnat, few years for the
girl, but each was happy now in the heavy
summer air. A beetle scuttled out upon
the gravel path and bored onward, its six
legs all working hard, butting up against
the stones, upsetting itself In ridges, but
still gathering itself up and rushing on
ward to some all-important appointment

II don't care I don't want them. What
do they want to come bothering for?"
"It's human natur', gal. They must do

born for woman, as the sparks fly upward. 3"
She looked up out of the corner of her eyes
as if not very sure of her quotation. "Why,

They had turned from the road into a
narrow, deeply rutted lane, which led
toward the farm. A youth was running
with boyish numbering haste. dumping
fearlessly with his great yellow clogs
through pool and mire. He wore loose
brown corduroys, dingy shirt, and red
handkerchief tied loose around his neck.
A tattered old straw hat was tilted back
upon his shock of coarse, matted brown
hair. His sleeves were turned up to the
elbows, and his arms and face were both
tanned and roughened until his skin looked
like the bark of some young sapling, As
they looked up, at the sound of the steps,

to the Accused Girl
FALL RIVER, MASS, Aug. 15.-City
Marshal Hill:ard was this morning shown
about so editorials clipped from various
papers published in New England during
the past few davs. Most of them reflect a
belief in Miss Lizzie Borden's entire inno-
cence Of the crime charged against her, and
assail the Fall River police for the pro-
longed delay in the case and for directing
their efforts wholly toward proving Miss
Borden guilty. Marshal Hilliard read
most of the editorials carefully, and said:
"You and every other citizen must re-
member that the newspapers have not given
anything near the facts disclosed at the in
quest This case will depend on circum-
stantial evidence wholly, and the peoples
interests cannot be subserved throwing the
evidence into the hands of the defense until
hearing of the trial takes place. You and
the public may rest assured of this fact.
The District Attorney and myself are salts
fled that the police authorities have ample
cause tor holding this girl, and she has not
been imprisoned in haste nor without a full
understanding OF what has been published
in connection with the case about the Bor-
den family honor"
On this point the most important member
of the Borden family said for publication
this morning: 'The honor of the Bordens,
whose names are so closely allied with the
prosperity of the town, is not to be affected
by police suspicion perhaps resting justly
on Miss Lizzie Borden. No Borden has
ever placed stumbling block in the way
and no member of my family will in any way
hamper the police.
The following was sent to the Taunton
Jail this morning: "We, the members of the
Young Peoples Society of Christian En-
deavor, desire to exteny to our fellow mem
Der, Miss Lizzie A. Borden, our sincere
sympathy with her in her present hour of
trial, and of the confident belief that she
will soon be restored to her place of useful
ness among us.

second EVENING""
"Perhaps he wonders what you want"
'Does he? I wish he would come and
ask me- I'd let him see what I wanted.
Quick, too"
"He can see it now. He has taken off
his hat to me-" Dolly said, laughing.
Her laughter was the finishing touch. He
had meant to be impressive, and it seemed
that he had only been ridiculous. He swung
round upon his heel.
Every we'll, Miss Foster" said he in a
choking voi,e, "that's all right. We know
where we are now. didn't come here to
be made fool of, so good day to you." He
plucked at his hat, and walked furiously off
in the direction from which they had come.
She looked after him, half frightened, in
the hope of seeing some sign that he had re-
Tented, but he strobe onward with rigid
neck and vanished at turn of the lane
When she turned again her other visitor
was close upon her-a thin, wiry, sharp
featured man with saliow face, and
quick, nervous manner.
Good evening, Miss Foster. thought

the weather was so beautiful, but I did not

"No, thank you, Miss Foster, should
very much prefer to stay out here with you.
But am afraid have interrupted you in
chat Was not that Mr.. Adam Wilson who
left you this moment?" His manner was
subdued, but his questioning eyes and com-
pressed lips told of deeper and more furi-
GUS jealousy than that of his rival.
Eyes, IL was Mr. Adam Wilson" There
was something about Mason, a certain con-
centration of manner, which made it i'm
possible for the girl to treat him lightly, as
she had done the other.

ooh, indeed. He is fond of your society,
Miss Foster. I can't blame him for that,
can I, since I am equally so myself? But
should like to come to some understanding
with you. You cannot have misunderstood
what my feelings are to you. I am in
position to offer you comfortable home.
Will you be my wife, Miss Foster?"
Dolly would have liked to make some
jesting reply, but it was hard to be funny
with those two eager, fiery eyes fixed so in ,
tently upon her own. She began to walk
slowly toward the house, while he paced
along beside her, still waiting for bis an

Painter Who Quarreied With HIS Vile
Dies From Strange Cause.
PHILADELPHIA, Aug 15-The Coroner
is investigating peculiar case which was
reported yesterday. The victim is Joseph
Birney, aged 81 years, painter, who died
Friday at the Philadelphis Hospital.
Birney insisted frequently on drinking to
excess, and his wife left him July % to live
with her sister, Maria Birney, whose home
is in Manayunk, suburb of this city.
On August Birney went to his sister-in-
laws house and demanded that his wife
give him their three-months-old boy. He
was refused and became quarrelsome.
When he became too boisterous the sister
took hand in the trouble. Birney called
her vile names and finally made motion as
if to strike her. Before he could do so Mrs.
Birney picked up heavy hammer from the
floor and threw it with force at the ap-
preaching man. It struck him on the
stomach, and as soon as he could regain his
breath the man left the house. For few
days Birney worked as usual, but on Satur-
day was found suffering from hemorrhage of
the stomach. He was taken to the hospital
and died yesterday.

WORK rs NEEDED,

The Democrats are showing more zeal
and activity in the pending municipal
contest than they have exhibited for a
good many years. They are well organ
lied and are making systematic effort
to get their voters before the registering
board, The Young Mems Democratic
Club is laboring with all the enthusiasm
Of youth to elect Ingraham, with the in
tention if they succeed of claiming the
biggest part of the glory. Mr.. Ingraham
himself is exceedingly anxious to be
Mayor and is laboring day and
night to that end. All the local leaders
and ward politicians are hard at it in Or
der to be able to point to some service to
the party which will entitle them to a
reward in case the Democrats carry the
Presidential election. Such work as they
are doing will tell, and unless it is met
by similar activity and effort on the part
of the Republicans it may land Mr.. In
graham in the Mayors chair. Portland
is Republican city on full vote, but
when the Democrats are active and en-
thusiastic and the Republicans apathetic
a Democratic victory is not only possible
but probable 1t behooves Republicans
therefore to 60 to work and continue I'M
til the polls close on election day. Every
Republican voter must be got before the
registering board and his name placed on
the list. There is no time to lose.
