CHAPTEE II.

In due course of time, when the APP
pie trees were in bloom, AlgernOn and
Flossy were married and deemed their
happiness thenceforth assured. Married
life finds its parallel in streams. From
the pretty, merry, silvcry, singing and
laughing little broOllS-which symbolic
courtship days--the current grows wide
and deep, gliding placidly and .tIong,
as the great, calm, contented joy Of thor
ough union between two loving hearts
may be supposed to fill existence with Il
food OF bliss But all the time, you OBJ
serve, going down hill toward the falls,
the precipice, the jumping off place
where the third party waits, OF cou1se
it is not always so in either streams or
lives. Some currents flow so sluggishN
they hardly seem to move at al, and,
with 10 rapids or falls to vary their
monotony, end by dumping their al
most stugnmt volume into the cloud
yelled ocean which may as well be
called death as anything else. But Of
their sort stories are seldom written.
Flossy' second sight frequently made
little ripples in the domestic stream,
but not unpleasatly as yet for Alger-
non. When she said to him, "AlGcT-
non, my dear, where were you going IN
such haste on Broadway this aftelnUon?'
or, "Who was that ugly, black proved
man with the crooked nose who was III
your office today" or something else Of
the sort, her pretty sympathetic way of
questioning not only afforded cues for
,,lp al al, s,Ia la
affairs. but sweetened his existence with
the happy thought that she was all the
time thinking Of him; that her heart
ever turned toward her love as the
faithful needle to the pole-or the hun.
CRY cat to the canary, he could also
have thought, only he did not.
On the way to his Office one morning
Algernon was met by IA friend, Mr..
Samuel Wagstatf, who put i'll his hands
package of letters saying: 'ThimbCr-
ly, l was just looking for you. wisl,

innocent enough when all the circum-

like to undertake making Mrs Wagstafi

to be burned, but Jennie wants to dc

put her in possession of them. +"
Algernon threw the package into a
drawer of his desk, and, being busy, soon

KICKED TO DEATH BY A HORSE.
C. $. Keller Fatally Injured While
on n Collecting Tour.

c. S. Keller. known among his friends as
shelley" was killed by a kick of his
horse yesterday morning at West Broad
and Stewart streets.
Mr. Keller was the city fresh meat sales
men of the Armour Packing Company,
and had just collected a bill of 1855 from
Morgan's butcher shop. He started to get
into his buggy, having spoken to Mr.. Nor
gan just as he was leaving about the
new horse he had, saying that the COM
pany had just got him from the west, and
he was pretty spirited.
The bill was paid in silver which Mr.
Kellar put in paper bag and dropped
into the bottom Of his buggy, intending
to drive with 1t to the office of the COM
pany and continue his rounds afterward.
AS he dropped the money into the buggy
the horse took fright and started to run.
Mr.. Kellar was caught between the
wheels He found that he could not get
in and drew his feet up and lay with his
body across the bottom of the buggy, at
the same time reaching for the reins. As
he did so the horse began kicking, and
soon broke in the dashboard, and after
kicking and rearing, he broke loose and
ran down Stewart street.
Mr. Keller was seen to catch at the
buggy seat convusvely just after the an
imal began kicking, and half lay and half
sat. He was taken out and carried into
Keffers drug store, where he died In a
few minutes, without having spoken.
DR.. w. II. Jennings reached the drug
store soon after the accident occur
red, but the man was dead
His body remained at the store for an
hour. and was then removed to his broth
err home, No. ia Duffy street. The body
Ii.
and IL was thought that death might have
resulted from heart failure. Dr. NJ. X.
Corbn examined the body, but could find
no trace of a bruise, and decided that a
postmortem was necessary to discover the
cause of death.
The heart and brain were found to be
in their proper condition, but on the right
side of the liver a small dark bruise was
seen that showed death had resulted from
the rupture Of that organ and the shock 1t
produced.
1t was a most peculiar case, DR.. Corbin
said, and the fact of there having been
no external bruse or marks, he attrib-
uted to the almost immediate stoppage
of the circulation, in which event no
brulse is visible.
The money was scattered by the blows
from the horses heels, and fell into the
thick sand, but it was nearly all recov-
cred.
Mr.. Keller was well known through
the city. He had been in the employ of
the Armour Company for about year,
having left Swifts to accept a position
with the former company.
Mr.. Keller was unmarried and was
about 80 years old. He came to Savan-
nah from Valdosta, where his mother
and three sisters live. Mr.. Cook Keller
of this city and Mr.. Richard Keller of
Fitzgerald are his brothers, and DR.. ]. G.
Keller is his cousin.
An accident policy for 5000 was held
by Mr.. Keller in the Travellers Accident
Insurance Company of Hartford
The body will be taken to Valdosta to-
day for interment

Permission will be asked at the next
meeting of the sanitary board by the COM
missioner of public works to resume the
work of placing the curbing on South
Broad street for the new paving, this work
having been discontinued at the beginning
of the hot season.
From the length Of time which the curb

that It was uncertain whether or not the

Myers said yesterday that there need be

asked.
There will be no trouble on that score. q"

estimate made at the beginning OF the

INITIATION FEES ABANDONED.
Only Dues to Be Charged the Guards
Hereafter.

At the October meeting of the Guards
battalion last night the several amend
ments to the rules relating to membership
and the dues to be charged members which
were introduced at the last meeting were
adopted. The initiation fees in all classes
were done away with. The dues for ac-
tive members, the military class, remain

per month as preferred. The dues for
associate members remain at $25 per year
in advance or 81 per quarter in advance

sociate class, was instituted. All active en-
listed members of other military COM
mands in the city, commissioned officers
of these commands, and all officers on

the same as members Of other classes are
admitted. The members of this class are
to be admitted to all the privileges Of the
