Twelve years, with all the changes
that so long a period of time brings,
have passed since the loss that had so
wrung the heart of Sir George. He had
grown gray and many a wrinkle crossed
his manly brow.
A gypsy band were in the West Rid
ing of Yorkshire, England, and the
beautiful danseuse Minitti, with her
handsome companion, was perform
ing to the delighted villagers of the
country. 1t did not escape the inquisi-
tive eyes Of the spectators that her
companion, Fernando, watched with
loving eye each motion Of Minitti.
The little town in the environs of
which the gypsy band were eneamped
was one day thrown into commotion by
one of the inhabitants declaring that
an article of considerable value had
been stolen from his house. One of the
inhabitants ever remembered to have
seen a female of the tribe neal the door
of the house whence the jewel was
| missing and was ready to make oath
that IL was none other than Manitti, the
| danseuse of the tribe.
This was quite sufficient, and upon
such strong circumstantial evidence the
beautiful girl was seized and rudely
carried before the justice Of the county
for examination. In vain was all proc
offered by the tribe as TO her innocence
no court would heed a gypsy's evidence
and the justice was forced, though com
passion was in his heart, aye, and !
beamed broadly from his countenance
too, to commit the girl.
Immediately after the justice hat
pronounced the sentence, and the weep
ing girl was about to be borne awny b,
the officers of the court, a young ma
stepped suddenly forward from tn
crowd and said, while he thrust asid
the rough hands that were extended t
seize Minitti:

A GYPSY DANCER.

At the date this story commences,
about the year 1743, there resided in
the West Riding of Yorkshire, England,
a family of ancient pedigree and great
wealth. This was the family of Sir
George Pasely, a gentleman of the old
English school.
Sir George was married, though not
until he was already an old bachelor,
but his wife was a young and lovely
being, of tender age, compared with
his own, for when she became Lady
Pascly she was but 10 years OF age.
Sir George dotted on her, and, indeed,
she was worthy his fondest regard, be-
ing everything In person and mind that
the heart could wish. But, alas! the
destroyer, Death, came, and the same
hour that made him father took the
gentle mother and fond wife to her
long home. Time rolled on, and the
sweet child grew daily more like what
her mother was, while Sir George loved
her with a deep and absorbing affection.
There was a young man, a wild n
reckless spirit, that claimed to be next
of kin to the Pasely family with Sir
George, and would doubtless, from
some peculiar cause known to law, be
able TO establish his right to the es-
tates now holden by Sir George, pro-
vided he should die without issue.
Therefore the birth and growth of liz
tie Louise Pasely was watched with
Jealous arr by Ernest Renwood, who
hoped one day to possess the broad
| Pasely estates for his own.
Four years had passed since the birth
of Louise, who proved to lie q sturdy
and beautiful child, when Renwood saw
| that he must bring his designs to an
issue, and not leave any longer his
hopes TO chance. He therefore formed
the resolution OF adopting some expedi-
ent 10 rid himself Of her, for, us we
have seen, she stood between him and
the rich lands he so much coveted. He
was not naturally a hardened villain,
but that most powerful incentive tc
evil, that most thriving agent OF the
Evil Spirit, a%varice, was goading him
on to the brink Of perdition; and hi
was an orphan and had been reared
lacking the fostering care and godl!
counsel that forwarns and fore
arms youth against the temptations o.
manhood.
1t was late one mild summers nigh
when he came to this conclusion; hi
recalled to his mind that at n wild ant
secluded spot some two miles from th'
immediate neighborhod Of Sir George
estate, there were encamped at tina
very hour a band of gypsies, who he a
once ~con.jectured might be Of servic'
to him in the plan he proposed Il
execute, VIZ, to rid himself Of the it'll

that he was determined to possess.

NO TRACE OF MRS. CARVER.
A New Method Devised for Dragging
the River for the Body.

Mrs Philip Carver, who disappeared from
her home in Haughville last Sunday, has
not yet been found and the river is still
Icing DIR aged in hopes of finding her body
Mr.. Carver and other searchers were out
at daylight yesterday morning, and, de-
spite the rain, continued to drag the river
until the night forced them TO cease their
labor. The searchers adopted a new method
yesterday and now have a cable stretched
across the river to enable them to hold the
boat in position while they drag every foot
of the bottom. A drag has been de-
vised. which. in form. resembles a rake,
but in place of prongs, stout wires, TO which
are attached drag hooks, are fastened to
the bar at the end, and with this the bot
tom is being thoroughly examined. The
Searchers began with the cable stretched
across at the bridge, and each time they
finish search from bank to bank along
this cable line it is moved a boats length
further down the river and is now located
about $50 feet from the bridge. The hus>
band and re atives say that they will spare
no expense in their endeavor find her or
her body Mr.. Carver has turned the
loon over to Mr.. Wolf, its former proprie-
tor. and the boarding house to another
party until such time he has definitely
finished his search for his missing wife.

Secretary j. Frank Callen, of the City

ing for tomorrow afternoon. The meeting
is called for the purpose of determining
the course the league shall take in the
campaign. The State Liquor League has
already decided that it cannot agree to as
sist any party generally throughout the
State; that the interests of the league rest
in the election of candidates of different
parties in different parts of the State. The
State league will therefore lend its aid to
candidates rather than to party In view
of this policy of the State league the city
league must if it acts as a league in the
campaign, decide which party it will sup
pert or which candidates.
AS the repeal of the Nicholson law is the
chief aim of the league it's greatest efforts
as an organization will be devoted to the
election of candidates to the Legislature
who will support an act to repeal the law
AS only one of the leading parties has
chosen legislative candidates the league
will not expect TO finally indorse any can
dictate yet. but it may take steps to secure
the nomination of men who Will work in
the interest of the league.

Surpassed Yesterdays Affair Both in

for accounts of the Greeley meeting held
in Indianapolis-let me see-about Sept 20.
1872, and there you viii see the account of
the greatest political turnout ever seen in
Indiana up to that date Thus spoke one
of the older citizens.
His advice was taken The files of the
Journal were first examined. 1t was con-
tent to say that it was a big crowd de-
voting the rest of the report to what Mr.
Greeley and Mr.. Voorhees, said. A picture
of Horace Greeley. ?. cartoon of Nast's,
headed the Journals account.
The Sentinel was next consul ted It was
before the days of the headline artist or
the headline monstrosity. But the Sentinel
had a third of column of them, among
which were the following: THE Largest
Political Meeting Ever Held in the State'
Two Miles of Torehlghts and Acres of
People, voorhees, Proposes Three Hoo
sier Cheers for the Next President" After
such headlines the Sentinel proceeds to
declare that Sept 90 1872 will long be
memorable in the history of Indiana POI
1tics that the meeting was the grandest
success that has ever been accomplished in
Indiana i'm any campaign. Then it pro-
ceeds 1T is useless to set down any fig
ures, for anything like approximate of
or in the street or in the Statehouse yard,
would seem an exaggeration."
Inc News SAID tndt the number OF people
was larger than any estimate that had
been made. 1t was surprise to every
body. Speaking of the procession, the News
said: When the rear of the column was
still west of Tennessee street the head of
the column had counter-marched at east
and reached Meridian" 1t said that "al1
along the line of march the streets We're
packed, all shouting for Greeley" The
News remarked that there was not a
negro in the procession to do honor to his
longtime champion, Greeley
Both papers were confident that Greeley
was certain of an election. The Sentinel
declared that 1.-The Republicans felt their
defeat in the next election foregone con-
clusion.'
Mr. Greeley said in Cincinnati that he
had $4,000 listeners in Indianapolis He
in the State at which he stopped. On his
return to New York, in public speech, he
declared that the brave and patriotic men
of Indiana could not be driven to the sup
port of Grant.
Three weeks after this immense demon
stlation the October election was held in
Indiana. Thomas A. Hendricks was the
only candidate on the Democratic, or
Greeley ticket, who pulled through in the
State. and he by a plurality of Las votes.
Every other Republican candidate on the
State ticket was elected by a small plu-
rality. The Republicans carried the Leg
islature, having twelve majority on joint
ballot. General Grants majority in The
State in November was 22.515, against 1868
in 1868. In the State election the Repub-
licans carried Marion county by 1900.
Those who saw the demonstration of
1872 and that of yesterday say that the
Bryanite performance was tallow candle
compared with the headlight glare of that
of Horace Greeley.

Claimed He Used Loaded Cane.

Conrad Schnellschmidt, of 1145 North
Pennsylvania street, was arrested yester-
day on a charge of assault and battery up
on Alfred Houton, of 1913 East New York
street. HoutoH, in securing the warrant
for Schnellschmidt' arrest, exhibited sew
eral bad wounds in the head, which he said
we're made with loaded cane in the hands
of Schnellschmidt. The trouble between
the two men seems to have grown out of a
debt which Houton owed Schnellschmidt's
son. SchnelIschmidt went out to Houton's
house after it and had some words with
Mrs. Houton. Houton says that when
Schnellschmidt returned later he took him
to task about what he said to Mrs. Houton
and that SchnellSchmidt became enraged
and sWore he would kill the whole fam
lily, and then occurred the assault. Schnel-
schmidt was arrested by patrolmen Wal
lace and Caplinger.
