Fauntleroys glance answered that he
fully understood her. His heart hut-
tered under his rough shirt; but he kept
his face calm, though the pleasant sur
prise would send the color to his FROST
nipped cheek.

syvered, jauntily enough, though the
feeling in his voice made it vibrant.
''Tell her, please, that thank her and
cannot be too glad that she did not risk

cried, handing him the ulster. 1t is for

Peyton Fitzhugh had lounged away
from the sidewalk and was approaching

Like flash, she seized the opportuni-

the rapid whisper went straight to
Evans brain:
''She's well-safe! If you escape, come
to us. Be very cautious; breast pocket

The sentry was beside her again; and
she was saying aloud:

The gruf command rang along the

With final hand shake, low-breathed
blessings on either side, and fearful
eyes on that of the women, the pitiful
column and its grim escort formed,
moving slowly up the street. And,
watching them with wet lashes so long

coffee cans alike emptied by the effort

the house Of Mrs. Baum and said that
there was negro sick with yellow fever
on Sharp's row. No one believed him.
He then went to the Office of Mr.. Baum
and reported the rumor to him, adding
that Mrs. Baum said for her husband
to come home and investigate the rumor.
Mr.. Baum went home and learned
that his wife had sent no such word to
him. Meanwhile the officers were inves-
tlgatlng the rumOr, as the boy had told it
to everybody he met on the street. The
negro was found at the house and was
talking with woman. He was informed
of the rumOr which had been circulated.
He said he was well, but admitted that
he told the boy he was from Brunswick,
to trlghten him off. He showed IA days
certificate from Surgeon Geddings at
Camp Detention. 1t was thought best to
have him sent out of the place at once, to
put an end to the rumors. Accordingly
he was elected from the town. This
morning, white man walked
into the city on the Eastern division Of
the Savannah, Florida and Western rail
road, He was promptly halted by the in
spectors He said that he had walked
from Kentucky and had not been in any
infected district He said he was tired
and hungry, having been On the road
many weeks. Although he claimed to be
an ordinary tramp, the authorities gave
no credence to his story. His clothes
were decent, and he appeared to be less
fatigued than most people who would
walk such a long distance. Mayor Knight
ordered him sent out of the city at once

CONSCIENCE MONEY.
The Postmaster-Gen in Receipt Of
Strange Letters.


Washington, Oct. 4.-Some people have
strange ways of calming their consciences
The PostmasterG General is the recipient
of some very queer letters. 1t seems to
be the custom for women especially, who
have possibly defrauded some merchant
or some friend out of few dollars, to
grow remorseful and try as far as possible
to right the wrong. Instead of turning
the amount out Of which they have de-
frauded others to charitable institutions
they send the money to the Postmaster
General. Mr.. Bissell says that since he
has been in Office he has received at least
twenty of what he calls conscience
letters" The last arrived to-day. It
came from New York. and was written in
delicate, refined penmanship. 1t con-
tanned these few words:
MIR Postmaster General: Please ac-
cept this IS and do what you think best
with it, 1t represents the amount which
l wrongfully secured, and my conscience
will not let me rest until l refund the
money or give its equivalent to some one
else. l will thank you very kindly il you
will do this for me. "A SINNER
Mr.. Bissell at once forwarded the
money 10 Mr. Carlisle, and asked him to
deposit it in the treasury on the account
of Conscience.

ATLANTA's PosTMAsTERsHIP.
The Charges Against the Incumbent
Sent TO Washington.

Atlanta, Ga Oct. 4.-The plot in the
postmastership case has come to the
climax. To-day the charges against Post
master Lewis, accompanied by numerous
affidavits, were forwarded to the depart
ment at Washington They were gotten
up by Mr.. Jim Banks, who Is slated for
the assistant postmastership. The af-
tdavits deal with the robbery Of the mail
pouches from the postoilice steps in Au-
gust, theft that the postmaster knew
nothing about until the contents were
accidentally found more than month
later. There is no telling where
the affair would have ended had
not the city detectives caught the
offender, negro The effort to secure
the removal of Postmaster Lewis recalls
the Q. G. Penny episode at the very out
set OF his administratio when this negro
was placed side by side in the registry
department with Nathan Lyon and his
daughter, who had been retained.
NEARLY LED TO RIOT.
The subsequent burning in efiigy of the
postmaster and the threat of the negroes
TO retaliatein the case Of MIR. Lyon and the
young lady, which almost prOduced,a riot,
are fresh in the public mind. On the
night in question, hundreds of armed men
were awaiting to resist any such
attempts. Penny is still employed at the
registry office. Another count in the
charges is that against the su-
perintendent of the money order depart
ment, Emmett Stanley, who was arrested
on the charge of Systematically embez-
zling funds. His shortage amounted to
more than 81, 100, taken in various small
amounts. Later Foster Blodgett and
VIII Gauze, through having relatives in
the postofice, gained access to the pri-
vdte box Of Mr.. Frank and committed
numerOus speculations.

Among those who were witnessing the
thrilling scene was Edward A. Carter, a

Augusta. He quickly picked up heavy

the negro unobserved, just as the
fellow was levelling his gun TO fire at the
officers. The pin felled him to the ground,
where a scuflie ensued for the possession
of the weapon. An interesting ques-

who hit the blow, put in claim for It,
The sheriff did not resist this claim, and
