HID HER FACE ON HIS SHOULDER.

said, after long and painful pause.
, She did not try to answer him this
time. The truth came to her slowly,
sickeningly.
He never guessed what an abyss had
yawned between them during that brief
silence of hers. She rose suddenly and
glanced at the clock on the mantel.
Its ten o'clock now," she said.
"You'd better 60 now; and, if you love
me, don't try to see me any more. Ny
husband is insanely jealous; I can't
answer for what he might do-he's liza
BILE to shoot you on sight,"
She was rewarded for the lie by the
cowardice that leaped momentarily into
his eyes.
20, the humiliation of having loved
such a mani" she thought, bitterly,
when he had gone. Yet, she acknowl-
edged to herself, he was perhaps as good
as other men-indeed, better than most.
Where had she learned her standard of
manhood?
From her husband! She confessed it
with little startled throb.
At last she rose resolutely and put
on q plain cloth dress, a small turban
and tight black veil. She rang for her
maid and told her that she had decided
to Join her husband and must have q
carriage at once.
The train started at last, but it did
not go fast enough for her-it seemed
to crawl.
She went straight to the hotel where
she knew he always staid. It was the
same to which he had brought her as
a bride so many years ago.
She inquired for him at the desk.
Eyes, he had been there, but he had
gone out" the clerk said. He asked
what name he should say, and if she
chose to wait.
II am his wife," she answered, proud
". And for the first time she realized
it an honor to be the wife of such a
man.
She waited in the large, still, richly
furnished parlor.
He came upon her silently, and she
was startled by his well-remembered
voice at her side. "Well, Mona" 1t
said.
At the sound of those two words,
which had so often irritated her be.
fore, her heart was inundated by waves
of love and gratitude; and-there being
none to see-she put her arms around
his neck and hid her face on his Shout
der, and said, very humbly: II have
come back to you, Henry. have been
a wicked woman, but love you now.
I don't expect you to believe it, but
please let me try and prove it; only it
will take very, very long time"
And then she kissed him, and in that
kiss all that her words failed to say
was told.-C. F. B., in T. P. O'Connor's

A CONVINCING COMPARISON.

Difficulties Of q Common School Educa-

Johnny Blykins had been less sue
cessful than usual in his studies, and his
father was trying to stimulate him to
greater endeavor.
II can get along pretty we'll in most
things" Johnny was saying, '''but 1

"Those are the two essential studies

Sat on EgeS.

Offenders of high rank at the Rus
sian court were punished in a singular
way by Peter the Great. It was the
duty of everybody else at court to con-
slider and treat the delinquent as a
fool. When Anne, the daughter of
Peters elder brother, Ivan, came to the
throne she originated an even queerer
form of punishment. She decreed that
a certain prince should become a hen,
and for this purpose she had made p
large basket, stuffed with straw, and
followed into o nest, with quantity of
eggs in it. This was placed in q con-
spicuous place in the queens palace,
and there, under pain Of death, the I'M
fortunate prince was obliged to set day
after day, initiating the cackling of the
fowl he was supposed to represent.

She kissed him coldly, and answered:

JUDGE BOWERS REsrGNAT1oN.

49, iAOEC GOurTS Before

Now that Judge Bower has become 3
candidate for congress the public is anx
lous to know when he will resign from
the bench. Every day some one wants
TO know ii he has resigned. or when he
Will resign. The Albany Herald, which
is published in Judge Bowers Gil cuit.
has the following on the subject:
Judge B. B. Bowers candidacy for con-
gress, ms resignation o. the judgeship of
the Albany circuit and the appointment
az MS successor conspire to furnish
more for the politicians in this neck OF
the woods to talk about than anything
else just now.
"WhenIwill Judge Bower:resign?'' and
Who will be his successor on the
bench" are questions that the Herald
hears asked daily.
That Judge Bower is in the race for
congress is no longer a question, and
this naturally leads to the presumption
that he will tender his resignation as
Judge to the governor at an early
date"
From one who is close to Judge
Bowerl it is learned that he proposes to
hold court in Mitchell and Calhoun
counties, and then consult with his
friends as to resigning befor the regular
spring terms of court begin. The courts
which he proposes to hold in Mitchell
and Calhoun are both adjourned terms.
The court in Mitchell will convene to
morrow, and the adjourned term for
Calhoun is set for the fourth Monday
in this month. The next regular court
to convene in the circuit will be
in Dougherty on the the first
Monday in April. It is not probable
that Judge Bower will hold this court,
for he will not want to subject himself
to the criticism of making his race for
congress on the bench"

CUBANS In DAWSON.
SUPPOSED TO HAVE BEEN HERE
TO GET RECRUITS

FOR THE INSURGENTS WHO ARE NOW
i CoNTENDINa AGAINST sPAIN-RET-
ICENT AS To THEIR MISSION.
The presence of two Cubans in Daw-
son Friday and Saturday created some
what of sensation.
They wore caps and uniforms made of
heavy blue material, and had the ap-
pearance of being sailors. One of them
was about so years old and the other rs.
The elder man looked the typical sea
captain and wore a watch chain that
represented the anchor of ship. He
was the spokesman aud talked freely and
intelligently upon all matters except his
mission to Dawson. OF that he was ex-
tremely reticent. The fact that he in
CURED if tie were many negroes in
thisssection, coupled with other things,
led to the belief among many people
that his object was TO enlist recruits for
the insurgents army.
To NEWS representatives he said that
he left Cuba about ten days ago, and
would return there within few weeks,
He spoke of the rebellion with much
enthusiasm, and represented the entire
people of the island as being in sympathy
with the insurgents, who, he said, have
won every battle of any consequence
til t has been fought. He reported, also,
th insurgent army as rapidly gaining
in strengthen numbers, arms and sup
plies-and was sanguine of the triumph
of Cuba's cause.
The two Cubans left Dawson as mys-
teriously as they came, and if their
presence here was really to obtain army
recruits it is not known with what sue
cess they met. One thing is certain,
however, and that is that none of those
who would be likely to join such an
expedition have been missed from their
regular haunts.

There is still much uncertainty as t.
when the city will begin work upon th'

new complication has arisen-one
that makes another delay certain anC
NAV necessitate the council going. over

Burr & Knapp, of Bridgeport, Conn,
tbe firm that recently agreed to buy the
80, 900 issue of city bonds, have notified
MAYOR Baldwin that, after All investiga-
ton by their attorney, they arel satisfied
that the proposed issue is irregular and
that they would not be safe in
buyng the bonds. In fact.
they pronounce the bonds inval-
id, and base their reasons upon several
grounds The most important of these
are that the notice calling the bond cleo
fion was too meagre, that it was publish
ed Is instead of 30 days, and that while
two thirds of those voting in the election
cast their ballots for bonds they did not
represent two thirds of the registered
voters They write that they are anx,
ious to buy the bonds, and suggest
that the council correct the irregulari-
ties they claim to exist by calling anoth-
er election.
A meeting of the council was held
Monday night and Mayor Baldwin and
CITY Attorney Edwards were authorized
to prepare case and test the validity of
the bonds in the supreme court. The
council is determined to light Dawson
with electricity, and if the supreme
court should hold that the bonds would
be invald under the election that has
been held another election will be called
