Should Sidney Lascelles return to Fitz-
gerald he would doubtless find warrant
for his arrest instead Of a fortune for his

Pelkey he did not marry her fortune, and
when she became his bride her father
made a will leaving his entire fortune and
the fortune left him upon the death of his
wife two years ago to his brother in Rhode
Island Whether Lascelles knows of the
will is not known. 1t is thought that he
does not know the will had been made and
the people in Fitzgerald are expecting the
missing Beresford to appear and claim the
fortune in the name of his wife. rms
Beresford will not do now, unless ne
should attempt to fight the will in the
courts. Alexander Pelkey, Lascelles's ia
ther-in-law, has provided that his daugh-
ter. Mrs. Lascelles, be cared for under the
will in the event she should ever leave her
husband. This clause, it is said, was re-
Gently placed IN the will by Mr.. Pelkey.
It is believed by many in Fitzgerald That
Lascelles will now forsake his wife, find
ing that her fortune cannot be used as
long as she remains his wife.
Friday Judge Speer issued an order re-
qulring the petitioners to abide the rule
in adjusting matters of equity by which
rules thirty days win be allowed the plain
tiffs to prepare their testimony, thirty days
for the defendant to prepare testimony,
and twenty days more for the complain
ant in rebuttal. 1t seems that in May, 1892,
the Macon Gas Light and Water Com
pany, through its president, leased from
the Oemulgee Land and Improvement
Company about an acre of land on the
banks of the Ocmulgee river, above the
Vinevile branch, on which they erected
a temporary pumping station TO supply
water to Macon and its suburbs for fire
and domestic purposes. The lease was for
q term of five years, and being made in
May, 1892. expired in the spring of this
year. During the term of the lease; that
is to say, in May, 1894, the property was
placed in the federal court and Mr.. TINS
ley was made permanent receiver. He con-
tnued in possession Of the land, operating
the pumping station therefrom and pay
ing regular monthly rental, as agreed on
under the contract. AT or about the eXpira-
ton of the lease the company notified the
receiver that the lease had expired, and
he was no longer entitled to remain in pos
session of the land, and brought a bill in
the federal court under rule nisi to have
the receiver come In court and show cause
why he should not deliver the land up to
its owner.

heavy fall, followed by instant scram-
bic and rush of footballs around the
rear of camp. Lambert was out of bed
and into his boots in half minute;
but in his haste he upset the chair on
which lay the matches, and the box
went rolling TO the floor. Pistol in
hand, ne darted out in the night and
found it black as Erebus. Quickly he
ran to the first sergeant's tent. but
Burns was hard 10 waken after the
long days work. Once reused. how
ever, he was soon out, lantern in hand,
while Lambert hastily dressed. and
then together they secuted camp. A
glance at their tent showed thal Riggs
and Murphy were still absent. 4 peep
at the watch showed that il was almost
two o'clock; search around Lunbert's
tent revealed nothing beyond the fact
that the corner peg to which the tent
fly was guyed was torn from the
ground. and the soft. sandy soil showed
that heavy boot-heeis had made their
imprint Then Burns, still lantern
bearing. went croaching low around
the back OF Closes tent, while Lambert,
with strainiu1 ears stood stock still an
like mad through the rousing camp.
out past the dim white canvas of the
wagons, out past the startled sentry,
up the steep pathway to the hard red
road beyond, down which he ran on
the wings OF the wind till he reached
the gateway to the forbidden ground,
for a woman's agonized shrek had
rung out upon the night, and the sound
of blows, OF crashing glass, OF fierce
and desperate struggle, OF muttered
oaths. of painting, pleading, half-stified
cries, of wild dismay and renewed
screams for help, all came crowding on
the ear from the heart of the Walton
place.
