LOYAL.

I the schoolroom window Of a hand
n some house situated in the suburbs
of Boston, stood Marion Allyn; there
was pensive look upon her intelligent
face, while her expressive eyes gazed
long and anxiously out upon a fast deep
ening April twilight.
With a sigh Marion turned as the
rustic of a woman's dress reached her
ear, and her cousin Lillian swept into
the room, her silken skirts trailing over
the carpet.
II declare, Marion, it's too badm she
pettishly exclaimed. "You promised to
finish draping my skirt as soon as the
children were through their lessons, and
here it is almost dark and you are vast
ing your time staring out of the win

"oh, Lillian, am so sorry twill go
at once"
Eyes, that is always the way; you are
ssrry when it is too late. Mamma said
this afternoon that unless you changed
to earn your own living
Every well, Lillian, am ready to 90
at any moment; 1 have been thinking
seriously of speaking to uncle about
seeking employment elsewhere. For
year I have been anoverworked servant
in his house, without even the privilege
of resting when l am tired. At the
worst l can certainly earn enough to
clothe myself, and that will save me the
humiliation of wearing your CASTOR
clothing"
As Marion left the room Lillian sank
into chair, more astounded than she
had ever been in her life.
Il am glad she is reused at last" she
thought. mamma must get rid Of her
at once, for do not feel safe while she
is in the house. What if she and Arm
old should meet after all my scheming
for the past year to keep them apart?
Q, it would be too cruel! 1t was a bril-
liant idea to suppress that letter. He
certainly must have been crazy to think
of marrying penniless girl, and with
his position, too Well, he is becoming
very attentive, and if / manage right |

future"
The draping finished, Marion helped
her beautiful cousin to dress. She put
the finishing touches to the elegant tot
let, her hands trembling with WEAKNESS.
"Can be of any more assistance?n
she asked. ''If not will go to my room.
My head aches, and am very tired"
eyes, you can bring my fan and gloves
down stairs. may want you to fasten
my cloak for me. While you are here
you must make yourself useful"
In utter silence Marion followed her
cousin down to the brilliantly lighted
drawing room, where Mrs. Allyn await
ed her daughter.
my love, you look charming tonight" |
she said. "You will captivate hearts
by the score" And mother and daugh- /
ter swept from the room without one
kind word for the patient girl who had
served them so faithfully.
Lillian Allyn was the bell of the ball,
and she certainly looked lovely enough .
to satisfy any mans idea of womanly
beauty, or so Arnold Gray thought as he
watched the graceful girl dressed in
pink, with clusters of creamy roses at
her corsage and in her waving golden
hair. None knew of the craft and NAL
ice hidden under that fair exterior.

their labor and the successful one merely
selling his for the price But the Press Claims
Company's offer is something entirely diff

Tor doing 1t. The prize is only stimulus to
do something that would be well worth do
ing without 1t. The architect whose COM
petltlve plan for a club house on a certain
corner is not accepted has spent his labor
on something OF very little use to him But

show for his work-One that will command
Its value in the market at any time.

daily work ought to know better how to
improve it than the mechanical expert who
studies it only from a theological point Of

who best succeeds in combining simplicity

The provisional government of Hawaii
has but one course to pursue in meeting

All future arrangements must necessarily
be made through them and with their

and financial consent of the business and
plantation interests of the country, there
can be but little doubt as to the course
of firm determination the government

immense interest placed in the hands of
the people of Hawaii. A return to the
old form of government is out OF the

that should the monarchy be restored 10y

Some Horrible Tsrtures.

JACKSONVILLE. Ga. Nov. 13-Au al
most incredible lynching story comes
from Fort White, situated near the phos-
phate mines and convict camps, twenty
miles from Lake City. Henry Boggs.
and three other negroes. charged with
the murder and robbery OF j. w. Dun
can, white storekeeper, were the vic
Tins of the mob's fury. The report,
which is meager, says Boggs was taken
from the officer and shot, after which his
body was mutilated in horrible man
ner. One account says he was not dead
wheu the mutilstion began. Members
of the mob cut into the flesh with long
knives, and when he cried out from the
pain part of a blanket was crsmmed into
his mouth. Another statement Is to the
effect that sits were cut and his eyes
stitched up and then gouged out. As to
the other capti7es, they ESCAPED" so 1t
is reportsd, but horrible cries and groans
heard in the swamp shortly after the es-
cape cause people to smile incredulously
at the report. Some go SO far as to say
they were treated with much greater sew
Gritty than Beggs, one of them being
burned alive in an effort on the part of
the mob to extort confession from him.
Pieces of pitch were set on fire and stuck
into his qulveriDg flesh until he died.
An absolutely authentic account of the
affair will probably never be written, as
the whole community is Implicated. and
the region is wild one where the peo-
pie do not stand on ceremony. 1t would
be dangerous thing for any man to go
there and undertake to make an inves-
tigatioD.

AUGUSTA, Me-, Nov. 12-In letter to
the Kenebec Journal, the Hon. j. L. Ste-
vens, late United States minister at Ha-
waii, makes long reply to Secretary
Gresham's report. He says in part:
ACCORDING to authentic reports from
Washington public crime of startling
import i, about to be committed in the
name and under the authority of the
American government. A public crime
of less proportions, but in its moral type
similar TO the sitting of national life and
the reform aspirations of Poland and
Hungary, q few years ago, by the i'm
perial despots. and to the crushing out
of the newly formed republic of Rome
by the unsurped powers of Louis Ma
poleon. All that American piety, Amer
Jcan benevolence, American schools and
American patriotism have accomplished In
Hawaii in the past 70 years are now CEN
traiIzed IN the provisional government
and stand in Its support. II ia q govern

grave offsHse against American civil
ization. justice and law. His intense
hostility TO ex President Harrison and
to the lllustrieus ox secretary Of state,
who passed to his grave in January last.
is we'll known. 1t Is that which caused
him to betray and desert the great pollt-
ical party whose honors he had shared
and brought him to bis present attitude
toward his former associates and their
work. So far as his recent manifesto on
Hawaiian affairs casts reflection upon
my official action, I care little, except to
the degree that his cruel and untruthful
words strike at the noble band of men
and women who have for 10 months
stood so devotedly and in the defense of
American civilization.

From q dispatch in Yesterdays Eas
Oregonian we learn the following regarding
bank robbery at Milton:
At about 8 o'clock this afternoon, three
men rode into the streets OF Milton. 1t
was very foggy, and their actions were Eot
generally observed by citizens. All three
aismounted, and one held their horses.
The other two entered the Bank of Milton
The president, A. Hopson. the cashier,
N. A. Davis, and the assistant cashier, Mr..
Hopson's son, were In the bank at the
time. The two men walked bodily in and
demanded money. emphasizing their re
quest with pistol points. The officers were
net disposed.to accede, and President Hop
SOD turned to get pistol.
At this juncture three shots were fired
by the robbers. One struck Mr.. Aopson's
left arm and the other his left side. The
wounds are painful and serious, but not
necessarily dangerous. Cashier Davis es.
capped with his face badly powder. burned.
After the shooting, Mr.. Hopson's son
handed out $1,000 in gold to the robbers
from the till and they lett the bank.
The whole affair occupied but few mo-
ments, and the desperadoss were on their
horses and away before anyone in Milton
scarcely were aware of the reckless deed.
But soon there was a stir, Deputy Sheriff
RitchIe soon secured posse of feur or five
resolute citizens, and in ton minutes after
the robbers lett the pursuers were in the
saddle and on their trail. They are sup
posed to have taken the road In the direc-
tion of Basket mountain.
The facts were promptly telephoned to
Sheriff Furnish, and he has been doing
everything possible to catch the outlaws
Deputy Sheriff Stamper has been dispatched
from Athena with posse and orders to
capture the robbers dead or alive, and |
men from Weston are also in pursuit.

third as boy about 20 years old. All
