A TEX VISIT.

About two weeks ago Mrs. skinner
went to Mrs. Shaffer with pitiable
story, telling of the great love She
bore the little Skinner girl, and asked
Mrs. Shaifer to allow Minnie to
accompany her on a visit as a eompan-
ion, adding that she "had grown so
greatly attached TO the little cherub
that she could not think of leaving
her behind.
Mr.. and Mrs. ShatIer considered the
kind invitation and finally gave their
consent, suspecting nothing then.
THE VICTIM CoNFEssEs.
Before leaving. it seems the child,
realizing her condition, confessed her
shame to party here fearin5 to go
to her parents. After she had left,
the party to whom the child had given
Confession, told Mr.. Shaffer. The
father was dumbfounded at the revela-
ton and refused to believe the story.
But the next day he received a letter
from the injured girl, in which she
gave a minute and accurate descrip-
ton Of the crime.

Last Christmas, while Mrs. Skinner
was sick, Minnie Shaffer, whose fol&s

skinner home. Through sympathy
for the invalid wife, Mrs Shaffer
allowed her daughter to so and live
with the Sltinners.
She remained there until two weeks
ago, when she was suddenly taken to
Dallas Texas.
HEILIsH CRIME.
1t is alleged that Skinner had been
making an attempt to ruin the girl
and had always been thwarted until
Christmas night when, through the
assistance of Mrs. Skinner, who
pleaded with the girl, he accomplished
his purpose. Mr. mud Mrs. Skinner
spent several hours in working with
the innocent girl, who took the ad-
vice and admonitions of Mrs skinner.

M-s Shaffcr was entirely in the

people and vas deceived in every way.
In fact Mrs. Shaifer never suspected

was taken to Texas, ostensibly on a
a visit.

The Old Rail Fence.

What lazy fence the old rail fence was.
Like II thriftless, drunken lout it zig
Jagged across quarter sections and half sec
tons, apparently indifferent to time and
caring not whether it got across the hill
next week or next year, but its windings
were so graceful and so restful to the eye
that not even Thrift could be impatient
with it.
The old rail fence belongs to an age
which has forever passed in Iowa. 1t il a
past which, though it was sighless, almost
all pleasure, i'll fact, is now recalled only
with regrets and signs because it is forever
past, and many of our dear ones have de-
parted with it. When we were children, we
used to wonder and wonder where the old
fence ran to, where it stopped as it wound
over hills and through valleys out of sight,
out into the great unknown of childhood.
Now, when we are children of larger
growth, the problem has changed, but is
solution is just as hard, and we wonder and
wonder where our friends and dear ones
have gone to over hills and through valleys
at the awful and solemn summons of death
But the flowers of hope bloom along the
pathway just as the goldenrod blossomed
by the old rail fence of our childhood

spell. The deer in his struggles had

ton would allow of conversation, "if

came:.

"Well?"
'You know dis niger ben hard

he continued after awhile:

Again the major defeated the beasts
struggles. and there came truce. But
saw that unless something was done in
his behalf he must soon yield up the
fight. Something like a spasm of fear
flashed over his face, and in the glance
he cast about him there was the one
panic stricken appeal that all men yield
to at some time. 1t was hard to die
there by the terrible horns of the beast
astride him. whose eyes glared into his
and whose hot breath was in his face
What death! !
But the next instant he was calm and
cautious. There Game to his assistance
