me SEQ her once more. take her by the
hand, gaze into her eyes. call up the
memory of those few short days when
we were all the world to each other:
surely I must then be told the truth
and conquer.
One morning Eustace seemed dis
tracted and Ill at ease. He answered
my questions absently. Presently he
said: DO you mind making a short
journey for me?"
Certainly not. Where tor"

"Of course will. But how am I to

favored the horse. Twenty miles
in old Bouley's wagon was not tempt
ing prospect. So the horse was pro-
cured and I decided to stay at L'Orient
for the night and ride back the next
day. My purchases could be sent by
diligence.
Grant gave me list OF the articles
he wished bought. Some Of them. II
struck me. seemed superfiuous and
trivial and all might have been ordered
by letter. Then mounted and rode

to Grant, and cried in = voice OF an

Tell me all! Tell me where she Is!
Give me Viola again."
He turned at my cry. The moonlight
was full on his pale face. His eyes
his features-evinced deep sympathy
and compassion. A fearful thought
ran through me.

"No; she is not dead"

is reported from Mkscara, town In
Algiers. A native named Embarek was
recently convicted Of murder there and
sentenced to the guillotine. On learn
ing that his last moment was at hand
Embarek was at first overcome and
speechless. Then be asked for the
services OF the mutt and was left alone
with him a few minutes While the
executioner was clipping his hair on
the back Of his head, he kept talking
on at great length to gain time, and
protested that he had killed his victim
because she refused to pay him his due.
At length the prison gates were
swung wide open and Embarek ap-
peared before the crowd. He was pin
loned and the executioner's assistants
were pushing him on by the shoulders.
Within few yards Of the scaffold he
caught sight Of the glistening knife be-
tween the uprights, hanging as II by a
mere thread, at an awful height. EN-
barek was overpowered with terror.
His eyes seemed to roll out Of their
sockets and his lips muttered inaudible
protests. ......
With great trouble he was pushed
onto the fatal plank. He offered furi-
GUS resistance. though pinioned. wrig-
Cling in the most unexpected and in
convenient positions He knew that,
once his neck was brought into the iron
collar. it would be all over. The scene
was a shocking one and several peo-
pie tainted. The executioner was bent
on killing Embarek. but the latter was
still more resolute to cling to life. 1t
was no use arguing with him and. OF
course, threats Of punishment were OF
no avail. The executioner pulled his
victim by the hair with all his might;
two assistants and a couple Of police
men pushed from behind, but probably
interfered with each other. Embarek
had his eye on the iron collar and per-
versely lunged to right and left. The
executioner. whose patience and for
bearance were exhausted. at length
took a rope. made a slip knot, slung II
around the patients neck. and. using
1t as lasso. pulled the mans head into
the collar. Then the knife dropped.

HETTY GREEN'S SAFE.
She Pays SIG Rent Rather Than Sell or
Give 1t Away.

Just before her departure for the West
Mrs. Hctty Green went into her office
in the Stokes building, in Cedar street,
New York, and put an extra lock on the
door to prevent thieves from carrying
off her 5000 pound safe.
In this safe Mrs. Green keeps her re-
ceipts, money and papers, and most i'm
portant of all, the political auvices she
receives from her son, who is now shap-
ing the politics of the State of Texas
Mrs Green's physician ordered her to
go West in order to regain her shattered
health. Previous TO her departure she
sat in her little Office and figured the ex-
pense of the trip. First she thought she
would suitcase the Office while she was
away, but then remembering the old safe
which had been her friend during twenty
years, she decided that the tenant would
also have to rent the safe.
After trying for nearly two weeks she
found that she could not rent it, and as
she would not sell, she carefully busted
the old safe, covered it with Il piece of
cloth, and putting an extra lock on the
door, took her departure for the West.
Since that time she las been paving
Sll6. 10 month rent for the Office lust
to keep the safe in it's accustomed place
