APPEAL FOR COLOKED CHILDRE~.

The ColOred Children's home president
has issued the following card to the peo
pie of Wichita with view to getting
some Thanksgiving offerings for the dest-
tute inmates:
To the Editor of the Lagle-
Please allow space in the columns of
your estimable paper for few words con-
cerning the moor children of the colored
home. We have not asked the kind peo-
pie of Wichita for aid before this year. but
we believe there are many generous hearts
who are not only willing but will take
pleasure in helping this worthy institu-
tion. We hope, therefore. that you will not
forget our little ones; but while you are
rejoicing in the knowledge of Gods good
ness to you aud the many blessings he has
bestowed upon you. we hope you will Give
something to these destitute children. You
have always been liberal in your dona-
tioDs on Thanksgiving, and we hope you
will do as much for us this year aS YOU did
last year. ELIZA j. ALEXANDER.

HOTEL DIRECTORY

One evening late in the autumn Barton
came home complaining of being nervous and
detected.
Come with me, Jack suggested with
ready sympathy. We'll take walk and
smoke the evil spirits away"
The two men left the hotel and walked
away toward Towards Point, a bluff a half
mile or more down the shore. Eve watched
their departure with a strange feeling of
dread for which she ehided herself as being
foolish and unwarranted, but which she could
not dispel.
An hour later Barton returned alone.
''Where is Jack:" Eve asked fercely, me ct
ing him on the porch.
''He did not care to come in yet. left him
down at Howard's point. He'll be here soon. F"
Eve turned back into the house and Barton
passed on to his own apartments.
Another hour passed by and still Jack staid
away. Really alarmed then, Eve threw her
CLOAK around her shoulders and started toward
the bluff. where Barton said no had left her
husband.
All up aad down the paths that wound
among the rocks Off Towards Point she
searched but The bluff was deserted. Jack
she called softly at first, then louder and
louder as her Tear grew stronger. 1t last she
thought she heard faint voice answer her.
She leaned far over the edge of the cliff and
called again 'Jaek!n There could be no
mistake then. Ii was her name which she
heard in reply, coming up iron the stretch Of
sand below.

"Fen over the cliff" was the verdict Of the

''FeI over the elf, y was the verdict of tbs
men who answered her appeal for help and
carried him back to the hotel. HE amt the
first one that has gone just So"
But the next morning they learned a dif-
ferent story. Barton was found sitting in his
chair dead. and on the table beside him was
a letter explaining all.
''I knew should do it some time" he
wrote. 80 long as 1 kept my senses l was
all right, but these crazy spells come more
and more often OF late. I've had them all my
life; they are an inheritance. I've always
tried TO keep away from hin when l felt
them coming on for 1 hated him so at those
times that knew I should kill him. Last
night the demon came over me when ] had
him in my power and pushed him over the
cliff. L suppose he never meant to harm me,
but I cant help hating him. He's gone now
and / shah soon follow
1t was many days before Jack was able to
give an account Of the affair. Il don't re-
member much about it, he told Eve the first
time they talked the matter over. Eve were
sitting on the edge there smoking. and when
we got up to come home he pushed me sud-
denly with great force, and | went over.
The next thing l remember is hearing your
voice. Don't cry. Eve he added as she
mourniully pressed the empty sleeve from
which his right arm was gone. ''PoOr Bar
toni We can't blame him for dishking me.

other. Chicago News.

"What luck?'' the latter asked when Jack
entered, grasping his arm neryously.
Filled with his own happiness, Kingsley
had thought to make the result known in a
manner that would wound as little as posi-
bic, but the mans excited air threw him of
his guard and he answered. abruptly:
Its no use, Barton, the game is up with
you"
Barton sank helplessly into the nearest
chair and looked at Jack as if seeking fur
Their confirmation or denial of the statement.
II did the best l could, old man." Jack
went on hurriedly. II urged your cause as
fervently as though it were my own, but she
said no, and then" he paused moment,
then added frankly, And then l tried my
own luck and was accepted"
Barton sprung to his feet with groan,
but. instead of making the further violent
demonstration which Jack had expected and
for which he had tried to be prepared. the
man claimed himself and said quietly:
Il might have known it. She couldn't be
expected to care for me. Still had hone
You are not to be blamed, Kingsley, sup
pose, but l think you might have told me you
were in the race, too, and not played fast and
loose with me this way
Upon my honor, Barton. never tried to
win her until to-day. You see, I've known
Eve all my life and l didn't know l cared any
thing in particular for her until ! commenced
this courtship for you; then learned Just how
dear she is to me. Butt was true to my prom
The Washington times. (Washington, D.C.) 1894-1895, 1894-09-25

Use to you throughout. Eve will tell yoI So -
II wish you ali the happiness had hoped
to have" Barton said, when leaving. II en-
terrain no ill-will toward you. You acted
straight enough, I've no doubt. I'll get over
it some time, but it is pretty hard on Il Fellow
at first | won't see her again. 1t would
just be a taste of purgatory for me, and If she
is the woman l take her to be it would make
her unhappy, too"
He lett the city the next day and, with the
exception of a eongratulatory letter sent
which took place six months later, they
heard nothing from him for four years.
When they met him again 1t was IN Il for
eign country. Eve retained her distruSt of
him. but Jack was anxious for renewal of
the old friendship ana as Barton seemed to
have forgotten the past aud was more than
willing to make one of their party they urged
him to join them. When they went home a
few months later he soon followed them, and
TOOK up his abode at the hotel where they
stopped for the first few months after their
return.
Ewes doubts as to the sincerity of his friend
ship had been lulled to rest by his conduct
while they were abroad. but they had been in
America again but a short time when she be-
gan to fear and dlstrust him even more than
she had formerly DONE

her. Barton is all right OF course. he was

he went over to see Eve about it and learn
without further ado what Barton's fate was to
be. II was not an agreeable task. The diff
dence with which she received all illusions to
his friend chilled the ardor which he con-
scientiously tried 10 infuse into the lost cause.
and left him in doubt as to what were the
wiser course to pursue.

despair and relief, at the end of one of those
awk ward periods of silence with which their
conversation had been interlarded that morn

He arose and walked to the window and
looked earnestly at the swiftly falling snow,
as if to gather therefrom an answer to an
other proposition which her summary dis
missal of his former question had brought
forcibly before him.
II had to do it, you know, he said, going
back and looking down at her imploringly

Itll be pretty tough on him. for he had made
up his mind 10 win you. You're sure you've
