Mrs. Knox laid the head of the hand.
some hussar gently ON the ground again
and rose :" her feet.
1T is no good. %Jenny-he is dead
And as she spok" some troopers from
the barracks came running VI. Full of
conjecture as 10 lhe cause of his death,
they surrounded him at once, and as
they did so. a sudden remembrance
struck Jane that, before their feet had
obliterated it, there had been the mark
of Il boot so distinctly printed on the
soft, sandy soil that a triangular cut in
the sole had been clearly visible. There
were no such marks on the boots of Jacob
Lynn.
The only clew lay in James keeping,
and it seemed to her as though the foot
print had been seen by her alone-that
she. who had been the indirect cause of
his death. might be also its avenger.
A court of inquiry was convened by
the Colonel, but nothing transpired at it
beyond the fact that the murdered man
had once been engaged to marry the
quartermastcr's daughter. This lent to
the affair an adventitious interest, and
public curiosity was proporionately dis
appointed when it was decided that to
call Mrs. Knox and her daughter to give
evidence would be needlessly distressing
them.
Died by the hand Of some person or
persons unknown" was the verdict.
And so the matter was allowed to rest.
The deceased had no relations to insist
upon further investigation. and the gen
eral opinion seemed to be that all inquiry
would be of no avail. 1t had probably
been a drunken brawl; and even IL there
had been any witnesses to it, q feeling Of
loyalty would prevent them from saying
what they knew would ruin a fellow
soldier. They would indeed be apt TO
look only too leniently on a crime that,
though so fatal in its results. had yet been
accidental, and not the fruit of malice.
Yet his death had been a great shock
to the whole regiment, and the sympathy
felt was shown by the number of those
who followed him to the cemetery. Most
of the officers were present among them
the Colonel and the Adjutant-and just
as the service began the wife and daugh-
ter of the quartermaster anne up quietly
and stood beside the grave. Mrs. Knox
was darkly dressed, though not actually
in black, out Of regard to the melancholy
occasion; but Jane was in rigid mourn
ing. and her pale face looked the whittier
by contrast with her sable gown.
The quartermaster was not with them;
and when the funeral rites were ended
Stephen Prinsep moved toward them with
the intention Of seeing them home. But
Jane, with a gesture of repugnance that
he could not understand, still less &C
count for. shrunk back behind her mother
and drew her quickly away.
For a moment their eyes had met, and
the Colonel stood inert. utterly incapable
of speech or action. transtiXed by the look
of fear strangely mingled with contempt
that she had east upon him.
When he recovered himself. she and
her mother were out of sight, and the
troops moving noisily away reminded him
that there was no reason he should re-
main behind.
Ito be continued.)
The Dakota chief. (Gann Valley, Buffalo County, S.D.) 18??-1913, 1896-01-02
The Road Parliament.

The meeting. at Atlanta, Of the ma
lions roadmakers appears to have been
q good thing. The time that has elaps-
cd since the meeting has been sufficient
to prove that the purpose Of 1t will be
far-reaching.
Each delegate has carried home from
the meeting a fresh fund Of information
and a new determination to utilize it.
The discussion Of the various ObS'a
cles to be overcome in the making Of
roads and the reports Of those who
haze already overcome what at first
seemed like almost unsurmountable flf-
fculties have inspired all to make Kew
and determined effort to sccur he
proper roads.
There Is no longer a doubt in the
minds Of intelligent people that good
roads are mighty good things to have.
How to get them Is now the question.
And the answer is found in such meet
lngs as the Atlanta parliament.
The campaign Of education is going
happily on. The moSsback's territory
Is becoming limited every day.
He Will be compelled 10 travel on good
roads by and by, or else stay at home.

%Spnrrows Losing Their Pugnacity.

The English sparrow is evidently los
ing some of its pugnacity, or the other
birds are learning that the sparrow's
bark IS worse than its bite" A few
had driven out all the native songsters,
but they have now returned. and are
living in the same grove with the in
truders in apparent harmony. The
queerest instance reported is from q
Maine town. where the bluejays
brought the sparrows to subsection by
hiding in thickets and initiating the
notes of a hawk, afterward coming out
into the open with the same cry, which
continued to prove effective.
