and care for them-cast on the mercy
Of cold, cruel world, while I am to
be murdered by the strong arm OF the
State.
"God knows / tried to reform, but
as long as the open saloon was in
my pathway, my weak, diseased will
power was no match against the
fearful, consuming, agonizing, appe

protection, care, and sympathy Of
the Church OF Jesus Christ; but at
the communion table | received from
the hand of the pastor who sits there,
and who has testified against me in
this case, the emp that contained the
very game alcoholic serpent that is
found in every barroom in the land

humanity, and out Of that holy place

remonstrance against reOpenlng the
saloons in our town. The names OF
one half of this jury can be found to-
day on the petition certifying to the
good moral character q of the rum
sellers, and falsely saying that the
sale of liquor was necessary in our
town. The prosecuting attorney in
this case was the one VINO eloquently |
pleaded with this court for the licen-
ses, and the judge who sta on this
bench, and who asked me if l had
anything to say before sentence OF
death was passed upon me, granted
the license"
The impsssioned words of the
prisoner fell like Goals OF fire upon
the hearts Of those present, and
many of the spectators and some OF
the lawyers were moved to tears.
The judge made motion as ifsto stop
any further speech on the part of
the prisoner, when the speaker hasti-
ly said;
"No! no! your honor, do not close
my lips; I am nearly through, and
they are the last words I shall ever
utter on earth.

a saloon bar-legaHzed and protected

sponsihle for the murder of my wi e?
! Nay; in my drunken, frenzed, ire

willfully murdered your thousands,
and the murder-mills are in full op-

GAIL OF you know in your hearts
that these words of mine are not the
raving of an unsound mind, but God
Almi shty's truth. The liquor traffic
of this nation is responsible for
nearly all the murders, bloodshed,
riots, poverty, misery, wretchedness,
and woe. 1t breaks up thousands
Of happy homes every year, sends
the husband and father to prison or.
to the gallows, and drives countless
mothers and little children into the

nearly all the criminal business of

every community it touches.

An Eminent Demon.

Asmodeus was an eminent demon -
more powerful than Astaroth, Cedon.
Uriel, Delzebuth, ADorym, Azazel, Da-
gon, Magog, Magon, lsaacharum, Ac-
caron, OrphaXat and Deherit, who are
not insignificant demons in any ltera-
ture. Asmcdeus had women for his az
completes; that was why he was so
powerful. Demonologists recognize
him by his legs, one Of which is like a
ROSTERS and the ether of which has
claws. His portrait, drawn by Collin
dc Plancy, was authorized by the arch
bishop of Paris. This does not neces-
sarily prove anything, but Paul Lu-
cas- published, in 17l0, in three volumes,
the relation Of his meeting with AS
modeus on the Nile. This is surpris
ing, because Asmodeus was tried by the
bishop of Poitiers in 1G47 and thrown
with chains into cavern. But St.
Augustine has explained how demons
may be chained or unclaimed. They
gain or lose the liberty to harm men.

deus.-N. Y. Times.

CHAPTER II.
THE yIDAMEs THREAT.

Ahb fAD%h1AS y AhhHhAs
Croisette used to tell q story, Of the
facts of which have no remembrance,
save as bad dream. He would have it
that I left my pallet that night had
one o~myself in the summer, being
the eldest, while he and Marie slept in
another in the same room-and came
to him and awoke him, sobbing ana
shaking and clutching him; and beg
ging him in a fit of terror not to let me
go. And that so I slept in his arms
until morning. But as have said, do
not remember anything Of this, only
that 1 had an ugly dream that night,
and that when l awoke I was lying
with him and Marie; so cannot say
whether it really happened.
At any rate, if had any feeling of
the kind it did not last long; on the con-
trary-it would be idle to deny it-I
was Hattered by the sudden respect Gil
and the servants showed me. What
Catherine thought of the matter
could not tell. She had the letter anil
apparently found it satisfactory. At
any rate we saw nothing of her. Nine.
Claude was busy boiling simples, and
tending the messengers hurts. And
it seemed natural that should take
command.
There could be no doubt--at any
rate we had none-that the assault
on the courier had taken place at the
vidame's instance. The only wonder
was that he had not simply cut his
throat and taken the letter. But look
ing back now 1t seems to me that grown
men mingled some childishness with
their cruelty In those days-days when
the religious wars had aroused our
worst passions. 1t was not enough to
kill an enemy. 1t pleased people to
make-I speak literally-a football of
his head, TO throw his heart to the dogs.
And no doubt it had fallen in with the
vidame's grim humor that the bearer
of Pavannes' first love letter should
enter his mistress presence, bleeding
and plnstered with mud. And that the
riffraff about our own gates should
have part in the insult.
Beers wrath would be little abated
by the issue of the affair, or the justice
/ had done on one of his men. So we
looked well to bolts and bars and win
dows, although the castle is well-nigh
impregnable, the smooth rock falling
20 feet at least on every side from the
base Of the walls. The gatehouse,
Payannes had shown us, might be
blown up with gunpowder, indeed,
but we prepared to close the iron graf
ing which barred the way halfway up
the ramp. This done, even If the enc

Flowers by Artificial Light.

In recent book on Rustic Adorn-
ments for Homes Of Taste" Mr.. Shir-
ley Hibberd, of England, gives the fol-
lowing hints about the choice of flowers
for table and for personal decoration,
to be used by artificial light: Nearly
all flowers in which there is notable
proportion of blue are unattractive
when seen under artificial light. Hence,
purple and lilac flowers do not usually
look well at night, though there are eX-
ceptions, owing to the intensity of the
red In some purples, which comes out
well at night and causes them to APP
pear as crimsons. Yellows invariably
lose brilllancy, and pale yellows become
bad whites under gaslight, but reds and
crimsons and all shades of pink and
white retain their beauty, and, as rule,
green leaves are pleasing under any
light"

"In the mode you mention. certainly" {"

"In the mode you mention. certainly"
replied. Bot"
"Bah!" he exclaimed, with sneer,
! "business first and pleasure afterwards
Beers will obtain satisfaction in his
own way, | promise you that! And at
his own time. And it will not be on un-
fledged bantllngs like you. But what is
this ,forY" And he rudely kicked the
culverin, which apparently he had not
noticed before. "Sol sol understand"
he continued, casting sharp glance at
one and another of us. "You looked to
be besiegedl Why, you BOBBY, there is
the shoot of your kitchen hidden, go
feet above the roof Of old Fretis store!
And open, will be sworn! Do You
think that should have come this way
while there was q ladder in Caylus?
Did you take the wolf for sheep?"
| With that he turned on his heel, swag-
4 gering away in the full enjoyment OF
his triumph. For triumph it was.
We stood stunned; ashamed to look one
another in the face. Of course the shoot
was open. We remembered now thatit
was, and we were so sorely mortified by
his knowledge of our folly, that failed
in my courtesy, and did not see him to
the gate, MS l should have done. We
paid for that later.
"He is the devil in person." l ex-
claimed, angrily, shaking my fist at the
House of the Wolf, as l strobe up and
down impatiently. 81 hate him worse!"
$50 do II" said Croisette, mildly.
"But that he hates us is u matter of
more Importance. AT any rate we will
close the shoot"
wait moment!" I replied, as, after
another volley of complaints directed
at our visitor, the lad was moving off
to see to it. What is going on down
there?"
Upon my word, believe he is leav-
ing us!" Croisette rejoined sharply.
For there was noise of hoofs below
us, Gathering on the pavement. Half
e-dozen horsemen were issuing from the
! House of the Wolf, the ring OF their
brides and the sound of their careless
voices came up to us through the clear
morning air. Beers valet, whom we
knew by sight, was the last Of them. He
had pair of great saddle-bags before
him, and at sight Of these we uttered a
glad exclamation. "He is going!" l
nurmured, hardly able to believe my
eyes. "Ee is going after ALL"
Wait" Croisette answered dryly.
But he was right. We had not to
wait long. He was going. In another
moment he came out himself, riding u
strong iron-gray horse; and we could
see that he had holsters TO his saddle.
His steward was running beside him,
to take, I suppose, his last orders. A
cripple, whom the hustle had attracted
from his usual haunt, the church porch,
held up his hand for aims. The vidamc
as he passed, cut him savagely across
the face with his whip, and cursed him
audibly.
MAY the devil take him!" exclaimed
Croisette in just rage. But said moth
ing, remembering that the cripple was
a particular pet of GATHERINGS. l
thought instead of an occasion,not so
very long ago, when the vicomtc being
at home, we had had great hawking
party. Beers and Catherine had rid
den up the street together, and Cath
crime giving the cripple piece of
money, Beers had flung to him all his
share ofthe game. And my heart sank.
