Except one, my dear Collinson, except

continued, glancing around him, you have
an admirably secluded position here on
the edge of the trail, and If you are missing
from your post tomorrow morning, l shall
respect your feelings, trust to your honor
TO keep this secret, and-consider it useless
to pursue you'll"
There was neither shame nor pity in his
heart, as tile deceived man turned toward
him with tremulous eagerness and grasped
his hand in silent gratitude: but the old
rage and fear returned as Collinson said
gravely:
You kinder put new life inter me, Mr.
CliIprG I bad rif ~

capting thar and to the rest o. you folks
that I'd stand guard out yere, and / don't

"As you like, then" said Chivers, con-
tracting his lips, but keep your own coun-
sci tonight There may be those who
would like TO deter you from your search
And now l will leave you alone in this de-
lghtful moonlight l quite envy you your
unrestricted communion with nature. Adios,
amigos, adois."
He leaped lightly on a large rock thatover-
hung the edge of the grave and waved his
hand.
Il wouldn't do that, Mr.. Chivers," said
Collinson, with concerned face. Them
rocks are mighty ticklish, and that one in
partiklar. A tech sometimes sends 'em
scooting."
Mr.. Chivers leaped quickly TO the ground,
turned, waved his hand again and disap-
peared down the grade.
But Collinson was no longer alone. Hith- |

uncertainty
You viii know soon enough" she said
gravely, evading his hand ''You must
not go further now. Goodnight"
She had stopped at the corner of the wall.
He again held out his hand. Her little
fingers slid coldly between his.
Goodnight, Miss Rivers
''Stopl' she said suddenly, withdrawing
her veil and lifting her clear eyes to his
in the moonlight. You must not say that
it isn't the truth. / can't bear to hear
it from your lips, in your voice. My name

mot Rivers-why?" said Key astounded.
"Oh, don't know why" she said, half
despairingly: ''only my brother didn't want
me TO use my name and his here, and l
promised. My name is Riggs-therei It's
a secret-you mustn't tell it; but l could
not bear to hear you say lie."
Good night, Miss Riggs" said Key,
sadly.

Goodnight, Alice"
She moved on before him. She reached
the gate. For moment her figure, in its
austere, formless garments, seemed to him
to even stoCp and bend forward in the hu-
mility of age and self-renunciation, and
she vanished within as into living tomb
Forgetting all precaution, he pressed eager
ly forward and stopped before the gate.
There was no sound from within; there had
evidently been no challenge or Interrupt
ton. She was safe.

was another blind trail or cutoff TO the

is a rather peculiar one. You We're sa ying,

GRASS BURNING.

If there is one destructive prac-
tice in our county, and particu-
larly in the immediate vicinity Of
our city, which should be abolish
ed it is that of burning the woods.
Numerous complaints have been
filed i'll this Office recently by the
people whose misfortune it is to
live near those places picked out
by the fire fiend, and it would be
but common justice to the un-
fortunates if the law against this
barbarous practice was enforced.
There is no doubt but what these
fires are dangerous as well as a
source of anxiety to those whose
homes are in close proximity.
They destroy the young pines and
wipe off the earth the fresh grass
which nature provides for her
dumb creatures. This practice
should not be allowed to exist,
The perpetrator or perpetrators
should be hunted down just like
the home burner and equally pun
ished

AT LAST IN COURT.

After much delay all the nee
essary arrangements in the col
lege and convent suit against the
city of Bay St, Louis has been
made and now it but remains to
go to court which it will do on the
fourth Monday of July next.
Any comments on this impor-
tant question would be superhu-
Gus as all the facts pertaining to it
are well known to every body.
Learned attorneys have been
employed by both sides and the
decision will be rendered upon
points of law. We understand
our institutions are satisfied with
the turn it has taken us they are
anxious to have it definitely set
tied.

nothing contrary to good can be
directed at him and among his OPP
ponents if we find him the best
then The Echo will commend his

Mr.. Webb, a Mississippian, was
a Confederate soldier, having
served through the war as MEM
Der of Co. D, 7th Mississippi In
fantry, and was circuit and chan
cely clerk of Marion and Pearl
counties for 16 years. In 1890,
represented his county in the Mis-

would be hard to find.
Mr.. Webb is touring the district
in a vigorous manner and places
his claim for the office in person
to each and every voter he sees.

THE SEA COAST sENAToRsHIp.

The sea coast senatorship is at
present the subject absorbing
much interest in local circles
whore politics are liveliest as well
as whore dormant, that is to say
the subject is attracting interest
from all sides. The leader of the
situation is our own Hon. Eaton
}. Bowers, an unflinching and 10y
al son of Mother Democracy and
who by his spre-emminent qualifca-
tions is commencing for the con-
test such favorable and wide
spread discussion.
The press of the entire district
is universal for this young Samp-
son of Intellectual and party in
fluence, and, in addition, the peo-
pie are rallying in his direction.
This positively is not the man
seeking the Office, for lawyer
with such an extensive and lucra-
tive practice as Mr.. Bowers need
not stop to embrace out of his
profession. In fact, as Mr.. Bow
ers and his friends who were so
persistent in his candidacy, know
well it will prove an impediment
to the welfare of his own private
calling, necessitating sacrifice of
self benefit for the public's good.
But men of such ability need not
reconsider as lawyers are numer-
Gus but there are few good. Mr..
Bowers is one of the best and
his clients will not aban-
donshim after the term which ap-
paMntly forces him to abandon
them. That he is the coming
Senator can well betermed a fore
gone conclusion, so let us be hap
py during the time intervening
the present and election time,
and, after the victory, let us all
rejoice.

The Edict Set Aside.

FALL RIVER, Mass, March 49,
At the instance of III. A. Dabuge,
Esq, DR.. L. p. Degranpe and DR..
p. Ecolett, of this city, Judge
Chouquete, of Providence, Mgr.
Satolli, the papal ablegate, has
issued decree temporarily sus-
pending the edict of Pope Leo,
relating to Catholic membership
in the Knights of Pythias. These
gentlemen returned from a Wash
ington yesterday, whittier they had
been sent by Lafayette lodge, of
this city, to ask a hearing on the
matter. They represented that
one lodge of Pythians in this city
consisted of 250 French Cana
dians and one lodge in Providence
included 100. They said so far as
they were able to observe, they
could see no conflict between Py-
thianism and Catholic doctrines.
and were solicitous for a suspen-
sion OF the edict so they might
perform their Easter duty.
His Grace seemed much sur
prised at the facts presented, and
was evidently much impressed
with the manner of the men. He
announced that he would suspend
the edict temporarily and would
Issue a formal decree to that effect
in a few days. He promised to
bring the matter to the attention
of the Vatican at the earliest mo-
ment, but would hold out no hope
that his action would be endorsed
as the permanent policy to be fol-
lowed.
