CHAPTER XIII.

Jack Ormsby did not 60 east by the
first train after the Christmas ball az
had been his purpose, but he saw no
more Of the lady Of his love. Late that
dreadful night, rousing for few mo-
ments from the stupor into which she
had been thrown by the announcement
that it was her own brother who lay
there downstricken in the midst Of his
career Of crime and shame. Ellis Far
rar, little by little, realized the whole
miserable truth, that he, her brother,
was the man who had wrecked Helen
Daunton's life-Helen, who. to spare
that invalid mother an added sorrow.
had hidden from her the name Of the
man whose brutal blows and curses had
rewarded her love.
More than all did Ellis realize that
the lover, whose loyalty and devotion
she herself had repaid with scorn and
contempt, had suffered her words in
silence rather than betray another wo-
man g confidence and thereby divulge .
truth that would overwhelm with shame
all who bore the name Of Farrar. Then
it was that, hysterically weeping. she
broke down utterly, and before tho set
ting Of another sun the mother and all
the household learned from her lips that
it was all that was left Of Royle Farrar
that now lay there, cold and stiff and
still in that bare, eohoing ward of the
old hospital, awaiting the last volleys
and the solemn trumpet salutation to
the soldier dead.
Only a corporal's guard formed the
firing party when, just before sundown.
the remains of Private Graice were laid
in the bleak, snow covered cemetery cut
on the rolling prairie, but more than
dozen men In the crowded gar, ison
knew by that time that the folds OF the
flag were draped over the mortal ~
mains Of colonel's son.
Il was an Gwestrioken group that
gathered about the hospital when the
bearers came forth with their burden
and placed it in the waiting ambulance
and the firing squad presented arms.
The idea Of the recreant, the would be
murderer. Tom Graice. being buried
with military honors had not occurred
to the garrison as possibility. Yet
here was the little escort; here were the
trumpeters-the band had been merci-
fully excused; here were pallbearers

the garrison prisoners. as mi":ht have

Plain Talk by a Sound Demo-
crat.

Hr. c. X. Schwing, who is lead
inc member of the Ibervjlle bar, as
we'll as the editor of the Iberville
South, in speaking of matters politi-
cal said to a representative of the
New Orleans Picayune:
"You people in the city do notbe
gin to appreciate what the Pharr
combine means and what the seating
of Pharr implies to US in the country.
No honest man who has witnessed
the fight in a parish like ours fails to
know that it means the negro back in
politics and, to a large extent, the
negro back in power. Our most in
fuential and prominent sugar plan
tiers are ardent supporters of white
supremacy and consequently Foster.
It is the usual claim, because of the
flop of handful of sugar planters,
that all the sugar planters are Re-
publicans. This is an absolute mis-
sake. The vast majority are unswery-
ed from the Democratic ranks, are
remaining true to the old faith. The
sugar planters and the white men in
our parish who have gone over to the
Republican ranks are about one
twelfth of the white population Of
the parish, Mr.. Pharr's claim to the
contrary notwithstanding. To be
candid, [ doubt whether there is as
much as one-twelfth, in spite of the
active canvassing done by the Re
publicans, for to us, Pharr has been
seen to mean the negro back in poll
tics and power. Every day this has
been brought to us.
ITO the white people of our par
ish the seating Of Pharr means negro
domination. That party's respecta-
bility is almost as scarce as hens
teeth in our parish, and it means to
US the introduction into control Of
an element we do not propose to
brook, come what may The people
on the other side have done a good
deal of shotgun talk. I want to say
in behalf of our people, and I think
I speak the sentiment of the back
bone and the responsibility of our
parish, that if there is to be any
Safeguarding to seat would-be usurper
Pharr, we'll be on hand and take a
pretty lively share
To Times-Democrat reporter Mr..
Schwing said:
"The reports that Pharr had re-
ceived majority of the white vote
of the State of Louisiana is prepos-
ferrous. A careful study of the stu
alton discloses the fact that Gov.
Foster received three. white votes
where Pharr has received one"

"When q man says he is a Dem

cal status" says the New Orleans
Picayune. It ought to, but it always
doesn't. That is the oft repeated

masquerading under false colors. It

Democratic principles, and not a
mere assertion, that makes q man a

N. O. Picayune. Tn New Orleans

N. o. Picayune: In New Orleans
all the negroes, from 10000 to H.
900 voted for Pharr, and none for
Gov. Goster; therefore all of Fosters
10000 votes in this city were given
by white men, while more than half
of Pharr's 1900 were negro votes.
Therefore the absurd and injurious
statement that the great body of the
white people of Louisiana have gone
over to the Republicans, and that
Gov. Foster only received fraudulent
negro votes, is shown to be utterly
false. 1t is time to drop such ridic-
ulous fiction.

An OpT1M1sT.-Philosopher Stow
ers, of the Oxford Globe, is at it
again. He says:
eve are no pressimist. The world
is growing better. Duels, lotteries
and prize fights are outlawed in every
State. Most of them have thrown
additional curbs about the gambler.
Concealed weapons are falling more
and more into disrepute. The ma
tons that stand highest in morality
and intelligence are leading the
the world. And, we hope nobody
will be surprised at our saying it, the
Bible is being printed and scattered
broadcast in over 400 languages"
