years ago, when the writer was largely
instrumental in bringing boxing into
public favor as a legitimate branch of
amateur and professional athletics.

The French government has deter

industries. One is q process for turning
old playing cards into new in order to
escape the heavy tax. The authorities
have seized three such factories. The
treasury has already lost 5000, 900

trade Is in renovated secondhand grave

extensively. The object Of the latter
reform is to stop the wholesale despoil-

CHAPTER xI-Continued.)

Little scenes that were nothing to the
outsiders, yet which were full of trag-
edy to those interested, passed contin-
ually. One lovely morning in the mid
die of May the guests were out on the
terrace, the widow, as usual, in the cen
ter Of a brilliant laughing group. Alan
and Hyacinth were near her; n she
was pretending to read the character
Of each person present by the lower
that he or she admired. She made some
wonderful "hits"-above all when Cap
tain Clifton said that his favorite flower
was the poppy. The character or a
brave but reckless soldier which she
drew from that was clever in the ex-
IRENE. Alan listened with wonder.
Presently she turned to him.
What is your favorite flower, MI.
Branston?' she asked.
He laughed as he replied:
MY allegiance is divided between
two, and they are very different
what are they?' she asked.
1.-THE white hyacinth and the blue
corn-f1ower," he replied.
She laughed the low, silvery laugh
which was like a chime Of bells.
1.-The fact that you Ire divided be-
tween two shows that you prefer nei-
Their. Your favorite flower shall be a
spray of apple blossom; from that I
will sketch your character and she
proceeded in a few picturesque words
to give such a description Of Alan,
with such happy hits" that every one
was amused-except Hyacinth. She
tried to reason with herself, to believe
there was nothing in it; but the hot
fire of jealousy was burning her very
heart away, She withdrew silently
from the laughing group, and Alan was
so deeply engrOssed by Lady Fraser's
brilliant wit that he did not miss her.
He found Hyacinth an hour after
ward in the garden.
my darling" he said, "why did you
leave me? 1 never saw you go away"
He sat down by her, and drew the
fair troubled face near to his own.
"Alan," she asked, "do you really love
me?
What a question to put, when we
are to be married so soon!" he re-
piled.
But do you really love me better
than any one else?" she pursued.
"Yes-ten thousand times better. I
love you with all my heart and soul. I
have no thought, no wish, no desire, no
hope, that does not begin and end in
you, Hyacinth."
'Then," cried the girl, "why do you
torture me? Oh! Alan, if you love me,
why torture me?"
He looked at her in amaZement.
Il torture you, Hyacinth!!" he ex-
claimed. "VVhy, my darling, I would
not hurt a hair of your dear head! How
do l torture you?"
you do not understand she said,
with a bitter cry; and, rising, she left
him, lest he should see the tears she
could not restrain.

Sing heigh, my boy, sing no!

Strong nor week could before them stand
And they killed whom they pleased
throughout the land
Sing heigh, my boy, sing ho

A YOUNG PILFERER.

Jimmie Sasser a 16 year old youth
of Paris Texas, has developed a decld-
ed mauia for appropriating other peo-
pies property. He launched himself
on the downward path by running
away from home on q mule belonging
to his mothers farm He subsequent
ly came to live with his uncle, Mr..
Bait, of BOggy Ark, where he wound
up his career, at that point,by stealing
filled case gold watch and chain, the
property Of Mr.. P. A. Martin, a
neighbor. He was traced by Mr..
Martin to this city and overtaken here.
When first taken in hand by the man
he had robbed, the youngster denied
all knowledge of the theft. But wbeu
he WIS searched and the stolen chain
found secrete about his person, he
broke down and confessed the crime
acknowledging that he had disposed
of the watch by pawning it at Trims
Tailor shop, no 113 State Line avenue
for $5. Mr. Martin, at once proceeded,
to redeem his watch, which he did by
paying back the $5 which had been
loaned thereon. While Mr.. Martin
was delibcratIng as to whether he
should turn young Sasser over to the
officers here or take him back to Bog
gy, he chanced to take his eyes off
that interesting youth for moment,
when he looked again for him, Sasser
was not to be seen, he having sloped,
skipped, skinned out, suddenly becom-
ing .invisible in that portion Of the
United States. In other words he
had taken "leg bail" and at this NOM
ent, no doubt, is looking abont for
another '1oose watch" His getting
away makes little difference as it will
only be a question of where and by
whom he is arrested, in the end.

Be Sufficiently Explicit,

Ed. DENIoCRAT
The article of Martin l.. Curl in
your issue OF Monday amuses me. He
says there seven (7) different denomi-
nations Of Episcopal churches. He
uses the word episcopal in its ge-
norical sense and necessarily docs not
apply it to any one religious body.
AS used here the word is simply dis
tiuguished from Presbyterian and
Congregational, the three words de-
noting the three kinds of church gov
ernments now existsng suppose be
would include under his generlcal
term the Roman Catholic and NJ. f.
churches. If so, what relevancy has
his article TO the subject in hand?
WE are specifically known as the
Protestant Episcopal church IN the
United States, and our modest stats.
tics are those of one body only.
If Mr.. Curl will name the "seven ca
different denominations Of Episcopal
churches" it would be easy to tell
whether his remarks are at all perti-
nent.
AS it was his article was as vague in
every particular as was the data and
source of his latest information.
| was discussing the matter of clear
ness in giving church statistics; stat
ing that there were seventeen 40 di-
visions of one denomination. mere
ly pointed out the apparent fact that
the numerical strength of the seven
teen parts should not be ascribed to
any one division Of that denomina-
ton.

Mr.. Curl is attempting to discuss, and
