washed chapel. On the north, east

northern slope the timber grew 50

eastern side of Knockmullen the
mountain chain rose higher than its
northern and western arms, and the
top was an abrupt and rugged furze-
coated peak, some 1900 feet above the

mock. At the far side of Blacknock
there was a great, wide, sweeping slope
stretching down into tenantless,
silent valley-the most desolate spot l

Colonel Branagan-s justice Of the

Knockmullen--lived in big house at
the southern side of the valley. The
colonel was full of years and was
proud to be reckoned the best shot

would probably have ignored the mys-

his preserves, for he was a generous

Deserts His Wife and Child.

The Lewisburg Saturday Ne,os OF
last week says that Dr. Eyer Walter,
proprietor of the drug store in Har-
risons block, Lewisburg, eloped
with the 21-year- old daughter of a
Selinsgrove hotel keeper, and the
desertion of his faithful wife and
bright young daughter, created a
profound sensation when the report
leaked out early in the week. In or
der that the real facts in the
case might be learned, n Neos repre-
sentative called on the deserted
wife, and she very freely gave all the
information asked for, seeming anx-
ious that n true statement be made
public.
On Monday evening, May lst, the
DIR. drove to Selinsgrove and return
ed to Lewisburg about midnight
with the young lady who seems to
have so completely conquered him
while he boarded mt her fathers
hotel, while keeping n general store
in Selinsgrove, before returning to
Lewisburg and re-opening his drug
store. He took the girl to Milton,
then brought the horse back to Lew
isburg and had Wood Biddle drive
him to Milton again where the run
aways took the train for Philadel-
phia. Biddle says Walter had about
$4,000 with him. He took no clothes
with him except his best which he
had put on in the afternoon. The
DIR. is about 40 and is a bright, clever
fellow, except when he imbibes too
freely, which unfortunate habit is
doubtless the cause of this last
strange escapade.
His wife is daughter of Mr. Jacob
Sanders of New Berlin, and she has
always deported herself in manner
that should have made her husband a
happy and contented man, while his
l6-year old daughter is bright and
pretty and sweet enough to fill any
lman's home with sunshine. For
twenty years the couple have lived
together, but according to the story
as related by Mrs. Walter, during
the past five or six years her husband
has been changed man, and she
looked for something of this kind
long ago. Her only fear seems to
have been that he would desert her
and leave her penniless. But this
he did not do. He left for her bene-
fit a judgment note that will cover
his several properties in Lewisburg
and the drug store, amounting in all
to from $4,000 to $1,000 Before
leaving the DIR. drew his entire bal
ance from the Lewisburg banks
from the Union National 81, 800 and
from the Lewisburg National 81 ,250
This, with some collections he had
made, started him off with a stake
of about 5000. In addition to the
deeds for his Lewisburg property
Mrs. Walter is to have Il small farm
in Kansas. This will leave her com.
Portable. She told our representa-.
tive that she intended selling the
drug store and living quietly in
Lewisburg. She says she does not
expect her husband to ever reCurn.
The young lady in question is Miss
Alice Arbogast, daughter of Jon'n
Arbogast, proprietor of the Farmer
, Hotel, Sehnsgrove.
