The only articles saved were, curious
ly enough, the original warrants for
Holmes arrest and two pictures of the
murderer. Ever since the execution a
series Of misfortunes has fallen upon
those connected with the trial. Judge,
jurymen, lawyers and witnesses alike
have suffered.

actually welcomed by people who would
have secuted the possibility Of such
thing the year before. This time Col.
Sweet announced to the rector that his
wife and daughter would speedily fol-
low, and were even then In New Orleans,
awaiting his instructions to come. TIL,
hotel was no place for ladies in those
rough days; the rector went to Mrs.
Tower, and Mrs. Tower no longer re-
sisted the inevitable. Floyd Walton,
going to tea one rot June evening, was
astonished to find himself in the pres
ence of two ladies, one Of them pretty
girl OF perhaps Is, and TO be presented
10 Mrs. ard Miss Sweet. Within n
week the young fellow was spending his
evenings ut the Towers, and within the
month was hopclessly in love. Then
cane trouble. He hadn't n cent in the
world. She was soldiers daughter,
and presumably poor. Whether she
was poor or not, he, ut least, had moth
ing to offer, and, having nothing, held
his tongue, though he could not hold
his peace. That was gone.
That was q wretched summer and
autumn. The fire ragged along the gulf.
and cholera swooped upon the garrison.
Sweet got his wife and child away TO
the mountains. They left suddenly,
while Floyd was on brief visit to his
mother and sisters. 1t was December
when they came back. Meantime Judge
Summers had abandoned practice and
gone to live Mt his Old home ut Sand
brook. Mr.. Todd could offer young
Walton no help; there was no money
in law business just then. Matters
Mt Tugaloo were going from bad 10
worse, and Walton found himself absc-
lutely without money to pay his board.
That made no difference TO Mrs. Tower.
She told him his mothers boy was as
welcome rs her own, and made him wei
come where fascination all too strong
nlrendy held him. Something in Jen-
ME Sweets gentle manner had changed
She was nervous, i'll ut case, and sought
to avoid him. Something in her
mothers manner, too, was very differ
cnt. And one day the truth came out.
The frequency with which letters be-
gan chasing one another from the north
explained the whole thing. Jenny had
met her fate that fatal summer among
the Virginia mountains, and was en-
ragged to be married. Mrs. Sweet re-
ferrcd to the happy man MS "n wealthy
gentleman from Philadelphia. few
years older than Gcncvicve, but most
charming person." Gcnevieve herself
said little or nothing. but looked none
too radiant. Col. Sweet said less, but
looked much at her.
Then Floyd Walton found another
boarding place, and one where the in
