He drew out a couple of tiny sheets
gilded on three edges, Jagged line
on the fourth showing where they
had been hastily torn from binding.
Across these was scrawled message:
twill marry you tonight, if you want me
John. Your empty sleeve is more to me than
all the epaulets in the world"
There was NO date or signature, but
he knew Hetty Plympton's hand What
did it mean? When had she written
it? How did it come there? He re-
NAMED standing, stupeied, bewildered,
while the rest moved on. Suddenly
the explanation flashed upon him. He
remembered the scene at the railroad
station on the day of his return from
the south; how she had turned aside to
write in the little book; her light
touch on his breast when she had stood
before him.
1t was well for Hetty Plympton that
the place where she had sat down to
rest was by-path, away from the line
of march. John Sexton would not
have hesitated or delayed his errand if
there had been thousand people
about her. She rose at the sound Of
his quick tread He held out the little
scraps of paper &c he,

/ never saw it before. My darling,
what must you have thought?'
Can love and joy find resurrection,
full and perfect, after they have been
entombed for a quarter of century?
Aye, if clean hands have laid them
away, and purity and faith kept guard
over them. Swift came the awaken
ing, gathering force and strength from
all the years through which they had
slumbered. Miss Hetty's face bios
somed into something SO like its girlish
beauty that she was as one transfig-
ured to John Sexton, whose eyes lost
their tired, strained look and recovered
their youthful fire, while his figure
Strengthened, and he seemed in mo-
ment to renew his lost estate of youth
and courage.
Yet they accepted their happiness
reverently, as becomes those who re-
ceive precious gift, long withheld.
With low exclamation, like the cry
of some hurt creature, long suffering,
that has at last reached covert, Hetty
laid her head upon his breast, and he
folded his arm about her.

pledge has been slow to reach me. The

An Actors Mistake.

An amusing story was told some
years ago of E. A. Sothern, a famous
wit and actor. Upon certain evening
he was invited to two entertainments,
one for children, and the other recep-
ton for grown people. Fond of chill
dren, Sothern decided to go to the par
ty given for the little ones, and think
ing it would be q great joke to go into
the parlor on all tours and roaring like
bear, he did so, much to the amuse-
ment of the guests and his own subse-
quent unhappiness, for once in the mid
die of the room he looked up and saw
that he had made mistake in the
house, and had played bear for the grown
people and not for the children. -Har-

John Sexton could notshave told why
he made this cold blooded examination
of the vanishing charms of her who had
once been his ideal of all womanly
worth and loneliness. Tt may have
been unconscious revenge for the man

have been to prove to himself that his
heart was hardened against her. It
may have been the innate savagery

To many people Spring and its duties
mean an aching head, tired limbs, and
throbbing nerves. just as the milder
weather comes, the strength begins to
wane and 8 that tired feeling" is the
complaint of all.
The reason for this condition is
found in the deficient quality of the
blood. During the winter, owing to
various causes, the blood becomes
loaded with impurities and loses it's
richness and vitality. Consequently,
as soon as the bracing effect of cold
air is lost, there is languor and lack of
energy. The cure win be found m
purifying and enriching the blood.
Hoods Sarsaparilla is the greatest
and best spring medicine because it is
the greatest and best blood purifier.
It overcomes that tired feeling because

 Settle tho Difficulty.
THE JUDGE CHARGED INcENDlARIsM


 Selma July 90.-(Special)-The partic- ulars of the shooting of Judge William Henderson by MT. Clark Lyles near Catherine. in Wilcox county, last Wednesday, reached the city today.
 Judge Henderson was probate judge of Wilcox county in reconstruction days. under republican rule. Some time ago a fine brick school house for negroes was built on Hendersons place by northern Presbyterians. It proved a great nuis- ance to the neighborhood. A short time ago it burned to the ground. Henderson concluded the white people burned it.
 The grand jury a few weeks ago made a thorough investigation. but utterly failed to find evidence showing incen- diarism. Judge Henderson said after the ury adjourned that MT Clark I4yles burned the building.
 Last Wednesday Clark and John Lyles met Henderson, who approached John Lyles and shook hands with him. Clark refused to shake with him. but asked Henderson if it was true that he had charged him with firing the school build- ing. Henderson said yes, and Clark pulled his pistol and fired, the ball mak- ing a slight flesh wound under the arm. He was kept from firing again by his brother.
 The affair is greatly regretted by all. A committee of three friends of each party has undertaken to amicably settle the difficulty.

MRS. MACK FELL IN A FAINT The Doors of the Prison Yawned

Was the Unearthing of This Clinching Proof Of Her Connection With the Chi ago Counterfeiters--Irt

Buffalo, July 30-The last link in the chain of evidence that for months the United States secret service has been binding about Mrs Mary T. McMillan, alias Mrs. Mack. the notorious stamp coua terfeiter. who is now in the Erie county jail, was forged last Saturday in a. prominent bankers office, where q satchel belonging to the woman was opened and found to contain 2S,000 coun- terfeit stamps unconstituuonally made and drawn upin five original packages.
 For two months secrets service men have been searching Buffalo for the va lise. and the finding was one of the cleverest pieces of detective work done in Buffalo in years.
 With nothing except the fact that Mrs. Mack visited the American Express of- flee with a grip early in the spring to work upon the officers, after two months work. discovered it's hiding place, and Inspector A. Shea of New York city now has the stamps in his possession. II was found on the terrace in the possess OH of a well-known Buffaloian of ill-repute, who may prove to be an important mem- ber of the big counterfeitinG gang.
 His connections with the nefarious work is being run down and for that reason his name is withheld. Another important discovery in the case is that the gang arrested in Chicago and Hamll- ton worked in this city. They were sus- pected by a local deputy marshal of coun- terfeiting coin and he had made ready to raid them. but in some manner they learned of his plans and fled to new fields. It was q few days before her arrest in the spring that Mrs. Mack came over from Hamilton to Buffalo and asked at the American express office for certain packages addressed to her She got them and putting them in big satchel disap- peared No one saw her after that in Buffalo, and after her arrest detectives discovering from Chicago that stamps had been sent her were puzzled as to what she did with them.
 When Mrs. Mack was told that the stamps had been found she fainted in her cell, and the matron had hard work re- viving her So long as the stamps were not discovered she could not be directly connected with the Chicago counterfeit- CTS Now, however, her last hope of es- cape is gone.
 The work done by these counterfeiters was almost perfect. The only way in which the fraud could be discovered was by a careful comparison of the color of the good and bad stamps, the counter feits being a shade too light.

 Chicago, July 30.-H. Clay Merritt was tried yesterday before Justice Pyle at Kewanee, H., on a charge of violating the game law. The prosecution, which is in the charge of the state warden, was instituted by the Sportsmen's associa- ton. The defendant admits having in his possession 27,060 game birds. If the illegality of this is proved the minimum fine is $l35,3 and the maximum, s607.- 300. Many sportsmen were present, as well az several cold storage dealers, who have establishments similar to Merritt S in Chicago and elsewhere. The decision was reserved until today. It was ren- dered this morning, finding the defend- and guilty of illegal sale of wild game In his remarks, the court stated that the law clearly justified the decision. Mer- ritt immediately filed notice of appeal, and his bond was fixed at $10000.
