The eve that 70 is in glossy blue,
Or sparkles black."-ByrOR.
In a beautiful North Carolina village
there lived one of the sweetest little
fairies that ever graced a parlor or
slyly captivated the heart of a young
man. She was now, when our story
begins, in her 18th year, and was at,
tending the village school. Among
her class mates was a dark haired,
dark eyed, youngster who worshiped
the very ground our little heroine trOd.
His name was Will Wither5 and the
little fairy, light haired with soft
brown eyes, whom he loved with all
the ardOr of his tender heart, We will
call Flora. Flora and viii played
together to and from school, sat to
gether in class, passed notes between
them much to their teachers annoy
ance, and in a hundred ways made
themselves a part of each others pleas-
ure. In their childish innocency they
loved each other dearly.

Two more years has been c~hronicIed

re kindled and blazed up into q de-
vastating fame, when after SO many
months of absence he stood in the

wronged. With humble penitence he
craved her forgiveness and sued again
her love.

not refuse to forgive, but his wooing

CHAPTER III.

" And hearts that would forever be true
Go lone and starved the whole way through"
L. j. Libbey
In a distant city, surrounded by all
the gay pleasures attending college life,
Will, b it said to his shame, forgot
the little girl, who a t his village home,
watched with impatient eagernees
every mail, hoping to receive his long
delayed letters. But she waited in
vain. Will threw himself into society's
giddy whirl, and devoted his leisure
time wholly to the ball room and
operas.
For a while Flora was sad and
morose. Often within the privacy of
her own room she would gaze upon
his picture and weep bitter tears, but
time is a skilled physician and ere long
she stopped regretring, entered into
every amusement-wa8 even gayer
than the gayest. Thus two hearts
drifted apart.

business Went on as usual. Two of the
smaller banks, both doing business
under State charters, took advantage
early OF the privileges given them by
law, aud required sixty days notice for
Withdrawal of deposits. Both of these
banks had savings departments, and
upon these two banks the principal runs
were made.
one of them. the Bank of Commerce,
doing a small business with de-
posits, amounting to about $4,000, sus-
pended payment. and made a general
assignment under the State laws for the
benefit of ali creditors. This break is
rather bad one.
Another small State institution with a
savings department, and having many
creditors. opened its doors as usual, but
soon IL was evident a run was being
made, ana the Directors decided TO take
advantage OF the law requiring sixty
days notice from depositors, and sus-
pended payment. This bank will, in all
probability, resume i'll few days, as it
has assets in excess of it's liabilities, and
only suspended for the benefit Of all
creditora.
The liabilities of the Bank of Commerce

WASHINGTON. March 27.-Dr. F. o. ST.
Clair. for more than twenty seven years
head of the Consular Bureau of the State
Department, has been removed. Late
Saturday afternoon Secretary Gresham
sent note to DR.. st. Clair notifying him
that he desired him to tender his resigna-
ton at once, and further that his assistant,
w. q. Faison of North Carolina, had
already been appointed his successor, and
would assume the duties Of the Office.
This was naturally surprise to Dr.
st. Clair, who never before dreamed that
his official conduct had been called into
question. He sought an explanation from
the Secretary. The latter is said to have
told him that he had been guilty of hold
ing back official papers on the score that
they were personal letters, and for this
ot1ense his resignation was requested.
These papers, it is said, contained
charges against a certain United States
Consul in Germany, and instead of being
treated as private by DR.. st. Clair, they
should be sent III the regular depart
mental round, DR.. st. Clair produced
The letters in question, which he claimed
10 be his private correspondence, but he
did not succeed in convincing the Secre-
tary that they were other than official

of the story.
CHICAGO, March 27.-Mrs. Elizabeth
Durham has story to tell of her side of
the divorce case begun Saturday by r.
w. Durham, eXPresident of the Chicago
Board of Trade and an eX-Congressman.
1t was outlined to-day by her attorney,
who seems to think the suit is the out
growth of disputes over carrying out a
matrimonial contract, and the essence of
which appears to have been dollars and
cents.
There is direct charge that Dunham
obtained his wife on false pretenses. 1t is
represented that he said he was worth a
million, and he was not. This is deemed
sufficient to make any lady OF spirit in
dignant. Then came other tronbles.
Mrs. Dunham comes of a prominent
family in Philadelphia, and is well off in
her own right. She married Dunham in
1889, after an engagement of years, and
an ante-nuptial agreement by which Dun
ham agreed after marriage to convey to
her his homestead and other real estate to
the value of Sl0O,G0 He did not make
this deed until the summer of 1891, on
the day his firm failed, and after the fail
ure she discovered that he had already
put secret trust deed on all his property

cure certain Indebtedness. Last Novem-
Der the bank filed bill in court TO fore
close the mortgages, and this foreclosure
Mrs. Dunham is now resisting on the
ground that the mortgage was illegal, as
having been made III secret fraud by her
husband. Mrs. Durham asserts that her
husband has been frequently guilty of
extreme cruelty toward her, and enters
an emphatic denial to the charges of mis-
conduct with banker Allyn.

CoFFEYvILLE (Kas.), March 27.-The
Caney Valley Bank, at Caney, Kansas,
was robbed late this afternoon, and 81, 900
secured by the robbers. The job is said
to have been done by two men named
Starr and Newcomb, both of whom es-
capped.
Shortly after o'clock Starr and New
comb entered the bank when no custom
ers were present, and, leveling revoivers
at the Cashier and three other employees,
demanded all the money on hand. The
argument was unanswerabl bic, and some
thing over $1,000 was quickly handed
out. The robbers then backed out of the
door, after a parting assurance to the
bank people that they would meet sud-
den death if an outcry was raised.
The men hurried to their horses, and
had good start on the way to Indian
Territory before the bank people recov-
cred from their fright sufficiently to give
the alarm. AS soon as the matter be-
came known posse was organized and
started in pursuit, but up to tonight the
robbers had not been found.
Starr is one of the notorious Dalton
gang, and only recently escaped from
