and again renewed bis attentions
to Miss Herring. Last Friday night he
called at her home, where she bseought MIN
to make her his wife. Failing in this she
confessed all TO her parent The father was
enraged and declared that he would avenge
his daughters dlshOnor by killing her be

friends warned ADKINS of this threat and Rd-

from a writing table in the dressingroom to

When he had cleared about half the skull
he accidentally stuck the point of his shears
into the scalp of his patient, who. spring
