Since his illness Virginia had grown
accustomed to treating her father like
pettish child. She went to him, laid
both her warm palms on his bald crown
and smiling looked tenderly at him.
"No, daddy don't want to marry.
I'll stay with you yet awhile
The sudden fury Of his gaze was like
the leaping of an. unlocked for flame
from dead fire.

the words, "and why? Because you are

rope, a courtship on the steamer coming
home, he's going to marry General Bau-
doine's widow-a woman worth mil
lions. Do you hear? Refuse to marry
Monklow, and I'll never forgive you"
He was terrible sight in this sudden
spasm of repression, his lifelong
habit, fallen from him like q garment
loosed by his palsied fingers.
Virginia Strengthened her young figure,
her arms hanging loosely at her sides
and as white as 'sThe Masker" laughing
beside her.
The patience and silence of the past
fled away like shades, and resistance,
fully armed, took their place.
"Then you'll never forgive me, for 1
do refuse" she said steadily, but scarce
ly louder than a breath "What sort of
life have l lived here at your very side?
Will you hear. now, at last? You flung

Everything was dark as she went
blindly from the room She had faint
intention of going out in the rama
sense Of supreme and awful loneliness.
The door closed upon her, and she would
have stumbled had not strong arms
caught her. She looked up and saw
Richard Monklow. One glance at his
face, drained of the hue of life under
meath the brown, the lips contracted, the
kind eyes sad, and she saw he had heard
all.

SUPERIOR COURT.
State vs.sl Auguste Lemieux, Alias Gus
Wright.

The respondent lives in Brunswick,
and is indicted for making an assault and
battery on one Andrew O'Donahue of
Portland, then a'deputy sheriff, engaged
in the enforcement of the prohibitory
law in the town of Brunswick.
O'Donahue says that he went to Bruins
wick on Friday, early in June, and began
to visit the various places where it was
reported that liquor was sold, drinking
when he could procure it, and treating
others. On Monday, he went into a saloon
on Mill street, kept by the defendant: af-
ter taking drink of beer, which, as he
says, was the only drink he took that
day, he saw the clerk take large bottle
and go out the back way as he supposed
to get a new supply Of liquor; O'Dona-
hue was watching him through back
window to see where he went. While
thus engaged, Wright, the defendant,
and one Twombly appeared at the back
door. Twombly cried out, "That's the
damned sheriff, kill him." and Wright
Immediately struck ODonahue three
times in the face, knocking him sense
less, and cutting three gashes, which the
doctor had to sew up.
The defendant denies that he struck or
laid hands upon O'Donahue, The de-
fence put in testimony to show that
O'Donahue was SO drunk on this Mon
day forenoon that he couldn't possibly
recognize or remember the man that
struck him; that Wright saw him lying
on a sofa in his (Wright's) back room
sleeping off his booze, and the next time
he saw him he was in the back yard
with the blood running from his face
and Muer, constable or policeman,
holding him up and washing him. The
evidence for defence was in progress
when court adjourned.
County Attorney True appeared for
the state, and G. NJ. Soldiers and F. V.

Lucien Rodd of Whitehall, N. Y, be-

that some years ago he suffered very
greatly with insomnia, nervous prostra-

causing him great pain and annoyance.
That his head was so covered with sores
that he was hardly able to comb or even
brush his hair, SO great was the pain
it occasioned.
That he consulted the local physicians
without successful result; that he took
quantities of medicine with no benefit
whatever; that physicians told him his
disease was incurable and he had come
to the same conclusion himself and had
made up his mind to go to hospital and
await death.
That just about this time he learned
about DR.. Greene's Nervura blood and

There comes many a time in life when
it would seem quite according to the
fitness of things, just the proper ending
to ones disappointments in life, to lie
down and die; but. unfortunately, or
rather fortunately, dying is thing that
we cannot do, just in the nick of time;
and indeed, when we look back on the
times in our lives that we should have
died. when it was fitting and proper to
die when we felt that dying would be
such trump card to play, if only we
could manage it. we must say that we
are glad that it is beyond our power to
arrange things according to the melo-
dramatic rules. We shake our fists at
all the ghosts of our departed tragedies
