"Giye me mine" she said suddenly,

The violin lay, as usual, on the table
close by, but Austin hesitated.
IF you really feel equal to the exer-
tion,' he began, and then, answering the
command in her eyes, he passed it to her
without another word.
With tremulous fingers she drew her
bow across the strings, and, recognizing
in the opening notes her favorite, Lied"

III a moment was so absorbed he scarce
noticed how her bowling became gradual

just before the concluding bars. He
looked up in sudden apprehension. Sure

"Ida!"
She did not move.
Ida! What is the matte1-what is
She opened her eyes, but they fell on
him without a CLEAN of recognition.
Then she dropped them on the violin she
was still holding. A faint smile rested
for a moment on her lips. With an I'M
steady hand she mechanically raised her

Diminished SEVENTH dropped from
her relaxed hold, but not before Austin
had involuntarily concluded the phrase,
so that the Diminished Seventh was re-
solved into perfect harmony,-Black and

His Last appearance.

Prof. Blackie presided once at a
certain meeting in support of Miss Bur-
tons c~andidature for the school board.
He had made a very happy, vigorous
speech, and resumed his seat, when he
suddenly started to his feet, and said:
II have only to add that though my
language is strong, my opinions are mod
arate-take that down, you blackguards''
this to the reporters. Another orator
ical bolt from the blue must nave been
the preamble to a speech delivered by
the professor in the somewhat unfamiliar
character of a chairman at a gathering
for the promotion of total abstinence: II
cannot understand why / am asked to be
here. [ am not a teetotaler-far from it.
If a man asks me to dine with him, and
does not give me a good glass of wine,
| say that he is neither a Christian nor
a gentleman. Germans drink beer, Eng
lishmen wine, ladies tea and fools wa
ter" Needless to say, this was Blackie's
last appearance-at any rate in an Off
cial capacity-at a t~eetotal meeting.-

which had in ugly temper, stumbled and
Mr.. Van Allen was thrown violently

New York, Nov. ga London dis
patch says that a conference was held
today between George Cadbury, the head
of the great cocoa firm of that name,

are to be erected, and a sixth of an acre
will be apportioned to each resident.

Now, this is the position:
The cash that builds a mission
Would operate a foundry in New York;
Or buy ten million dinners
For shivering native sinners,
Who canno buy their own for lack Of work.
So, why, in realms celestial,
Put up for Mongols bestial,
Churches and schools they don't appre-
ciate?
Why sweat and slave and work
To lavish on the Turk
The Christian love he pays with Moslem
hate?
First let us help and save
The heather whom we have.
And who'll requite their friends with graft
tude.
And then we'll take, perhaps,
Those far and foreign chaps
And teach 'em, by example, to be good.

Camden, Ark, Jan. six masked
men made an efforszz1o rob the north
bound Cotton Belt train due here at
10 o'clock at a tank ten miles south
of Camden. Their object was to secure
the express money.
The train stopped as usual to take
water and the negro porter got off the
train to 20 around to the tank to let
the water on. He was stopped, how
ever by a Winchester in his face and
ordered to uncouple tile cars. This was
obeyed. The engineer was made to run
the cars up the track from the train
. distance of half a mile. The bandits
discovered too late that they had made
a water haul, taking the baggage car
instead OF the express car. They had
TO grin, take their medicine and go to
the woods. The leader told the engi-
neer that he had the laugh on them,
but would see him again. The work
was so quickly done that the passen-
gers did not know what was going on
until the would-be robbers had found
refuge in the dense forest.
The scene of the robbery is more
than a mile from any residence. The
small station OF Buena Vista is about
mile south. There is no better place
than this for bandits to ply their
calling. A posse has left here in search
OF the Wouldlbe robbers.
The men were masked with red
handkerchiefs. It is supposed that they
went out from Camden, and it is even
3ntfmated that they live in Camden.
a dispatch today from the Cotton
Belt officials states that a reward OF
$500 will be paid for the arrest and
conviction of each Of the party and
the governor is expected to offer 6
reward.

a result of the damage sustained by other
theatres in previous shocks, q stampede
occurred. Women leaped from the tower
boxes and the audience struggled for es-

appeared on the stage and tried TO calm
the fear-crazed people and at last de-
most of the audience had taken refuge IN
the streets which were full OF frightened
people, many in their night clothes. The

night by digging through the outside
wall of the corridor, went to Litchfeld,
about four miles away, ana spent Inc
night by drinking and celebrating the
advent of the new year. Five of them
hired a carriage and returned this morn

to complete their sentences. They Were
all pretty drunk and apparently enjoyed
the joke they had played upon the Off
GERS. We'll Nickens, VINO was awaiting

of obtaining money under false pre-
lenses, failed to return with the others
however, and is still at large.
