1t was Browns custom to ride each
horse himself until its spirit was suffi,
ciently subdued, when it was turned
over to one of the boys to be handled
under his direction, and thus at inter-
walls all day long a struggling process
sion, exhibiting every degree of equine
perversity, was charging by devious
ways about the place. Ill advised hens,
bent upon feeding about the confines OF
the corral, contributed regularly to the
excitement as they scattered with cac-
king protest before each fresh onslaught
on their peace, while the little boys,
like Greek chorus, aided the proceed
ings to the best of their ability by shrilly
announcing each change in the pro-
gramme over and over until nobody
could be left in ignorance Of all that
was going on.
Edith was out on the lawn one morn
ing, assuming to read, although the
book had dropped forgotten to her lap
while her eyes were dreamily fixed upon
one moving spot on the gray greeD plain
across the creek-a growing object
which she recognized as Paul Brown-
returning from mad dash aoioss the
country on the back of an animal which
had seemed as unconquerable as origi-
nal sin. She was recalling Hugh's S
words of the other day. Seven years
was the limit of such life, he had said.
In such little time, according to that
grisly law of the average, this man
would have passed away to the unknown
beyond to find out, perchance, why God
had let him thus squander his rich gift
of life. Such little time-seven years!
However travely he rode today, it
seemed to her but as losing race with
death.
He saw her as he crossed the bridge,
raising his hat with that graceful air of
Difference which more than any other
thing about him seemed to betray un-
mistakably the training Of gentleman.
Perhaps it was this movement that star
tied the colt; perhaps the vicious brute
had been summoning strength merely
for fresh coup. However it was, sud.
denly leaping across the little bridge
and swerving violently to the left as he
struck the ground, the maddened crea-
rure made straight up the rise of lawn
toward the trees where Edith was stand
ing, glued to the spot with terror. Just
beyond her, nearer the creek, tree
had fallen in one of the spring storms,
the top still alive and clothed in mass
of greenery closely interlaced with the
branches of the brace of cottonwoods
against which it was leaning. There
was just time to see that Brown was
pulling fiercely at the bit and to no pur-

A TATooED KING.-When Berna-
dote, the king of Sweden, was lying at
the point of death, his physician adj
vised him to submit to an operation of
cupping; but he refused all their ear
nest appeals, and remarked that Alex
ander the Great, although much
younger man than himself, died from
the effects of cupping.
After the death of the king the real
cause of the refusual was discovered.
Upon his back were plainly tatooed
the words, "Liberty, Equality, Fra
ternity," dating from the time of the
Revolution.
During all his life Bernadotte had
never barred his body before anybody,
strenuously hiding from view the Rev.
olutionary marks of his youth.

GEORGIA LYNCHING.

A "Trusty" Convict Criminally Assaults a
Young Girl, Confesses and Is Riddled
With Bullets by a Mob.
CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, Oct 5.-Thurs.
day night Miss Maggie Henderson.
daughter of Col. w. A. Henderson, a
prosperous farmer residing near Car.
penter's station, on the Nashville and
Chattanooga road, who was visiting
the family of her uncle at Coal City,
Ca, was foully outraged after be.
ing beaten into insensibility by
a brutal convict at the Coal
City stockage Miss Henderson had
gone out for walk near the
residence of her friends, and was over.
taken by the fend, who had been al.
lowed by the guards to go about as q
trusty. Her throat was terribly lac.
Grated, her skull crushed and her body
found lying in a pool Of blood thaA
flowed from the cruel wound. She
was removed to the residence of her
uncle, where the wounds were dressed
and every attention given her.
Thursday it became known that
Noel Smith, convict "trusty," was
the perpetrator of the horrible deed,
and excitement ran high.
Parties were formed at Coal City,
and Friday night, at o'clock, just
outside of Coal City, crowd began to
gather at the stockade.
At 8 o'clock $50 armed men de.
manded the convict of the guards. The
mob covered the guards with guns,
and said they wanted no trouble, but
were going to lynch the criminal.
Seeing their helpless condition, the
guards delivered the convict to the
mob. He was dragged with rope
about his neck to the scene of the
crime. He confessed the horrible deed
and the lynchers began shooting, rid.
ding the body with bullets. After the
affair was over the crowd dispersed.
The victim is still unconscious and can
not live. 1t seems that the indigna-
tion felt at the guards is based on the
fact that the laws Of Georgia does not
allow them to give ''trusties" the liber.
ties given in this case

stone of the new building to be occu-
pied by St Mary's Catholic church, in
Lorain, temporary floor which had
been erected for the occasion gave way
and three hundred people were hurled
to the basement below, distance of
about fifteen feet
One chlld was instantly killed, ten
persons fatally injured, and thirty
badly hurt.
The services were just about
to begin when the accident hap
pened Fully three thousand
persons were assembled on and
around the platform which had been
constructed across the foundation of
the edifice. The boards forming the
temporary floor had been laid across
the joists, which were supported in the
middle by upright posts. These sup
ports broke and the floor went down
with crash.
For a moment e verybody was paralyz.
ed by the calamity. but soon there was a
rush forward by those willing to lend
assistance to the crushed and strug-
Cling people. This made matters
worse, for fifty more persons
were crowded forward into the hole
upon those who went down with
the floor. When the Confusion had
subsided somewhat many of those who
were able to extricate themselves did
SO by W liking and crawling over their
less fortunate companions. The work
of rescue was begun at once, and all
were finally taken from the pit.
The old Catholic church and paro-
chill school were turned into hospitals
and morgues. Six ambulances and .
score of doctors have been kept busy
for five hours. Several of the injured
will die before morning.

Truly IL has been wonderful day.
From Roanoke, Va, where the party
spent Saturday night, the progress Of
the relic has been one continuous ova-

and children stared with uncovered
heads and waved flags as the train

children pelted the bell with flowers.
At Elliston great-grandson of Pat

craved permission to touch the bell
Here a full Sunday-school sang a pa.

At Christiansburg the boys of the
Rlacksburg military academy stood in
line, guard of honor. There was q
great crowd at East Radford, where
Mayor Warwick and Thomas L. Hicks
made brief addresses to concourse of

Virginia side, and Mayor Anderson, of
the Tennessee side, joined in the well

There was no formal recep.
