the very knife which he had Just finished
wiping the life blood of old Jake from,
and plunged it to the hilt in his body.
beautiful figure appeared on the scene
at this juncture. a piercing scream rent
the air, two fell to the floor. The beauti-
full white-robed girl still screaming, "Ncd,
my husband. | will go too"
The human tiend stood spell bound.
What did it mean. His daughter calling
his victim by the endearing name of hus-
band. He stopped to pull the lovely form
of his child from the dead body of her hus-
band. lie stepped suddenly back exclam-
ing, "My God, they are both dead" He
finally separated the dead, for it was as he
had said, he had murdered both. But what
must he do? Some one might appear at
any moment. But ah the devil is good to
his own. For at that moment he suggested
to the numbering gambler way out of
the dilemma. The DEVILS whisper was
this: make it appear that this drunk en-
man attacked your daughter in your
absence and that she to protect her
self had snatched up the knife and plunged
it in her assailant, and the physician
will account for Eiolets death as heart
trouble, aggravated by the terrible ordeal
through which she had passed"
He looked out on the turnpike and saw
the very man he wanted coming to the
ranch. He caught up a bottle of whisky
and ran to meet him. Hurry, Pete Moore,
he yelled. Go to Newark and tell Sol
Morgan to come to my place Immediately:
30 by my house and tell them all to come
that Miss Violet is dead. Passing the rum
to him the while, Pete Moore took pull
from the flask and started in dog tIot to
do his masters bidding
In time they all arrived, and accepted
the gamblers cruel story. An inquest was
held and everything went the gamblers
way.
Sweet Violet was buried in handsome
casket, and in Il church cemetery.
oh, cruel and heartless gambler. why
separate these two loving hearts who died
in each others arms by your cruel hand?
There isn't much more of this story to
tell, only that William Upton ended his
life by suicide, crazed by rum. few
years after Tobias was found suspended
by dog chain from the limb of tree just
east of Elkton. the cause was the same
delirium tremens.
So ended these three once promising
young lives. Their fortunes went to the
gambler, and their souls went where oh,
where! But methinks the blood washed
souls of the sainted father and mother are
still watching the entrance to the Pearly
Gates. But the DEVILS iiend, the gambler,
who had wrought all this misery, sold his
belongings and went away, carrying with
him the blood money together with the
iewelry of poor old Jake. Those bloody
Jewels which had cost three innocent lives
But retribution came at last.
The gnawing at his heart strings because
of Iemorse for the terrible evil which he
had wrought caused him to take to excess
sive drinking which ended in his death

JUST A LITTLE OF THE GRAVY.

An eX-Confederate soldier of South Caro-
lima tells this story to writer in the
Detroit Journal: 81 had friend who was
a chaplain in our army-a good man, as
such men should be Several of his own
church members were in the same regiment
He kept sharp eye on us, and tried to
train us in the way we should 90. And
when we were rather short for rations,
some of the boys brought in fine young
porker. Now boys, that's wrong said he
1T is simply stealing. You ought not to
do it..
"Well, our consciences don't trouble us,
and yours won't trouble you when we get
this meat cooked You will want some of
it too"
"No won't eat it. I'd as soon eat
stolen meat,
But we divided it up among the boys
and proceeded to cook a ham in the best
possible style. The smell of it fairly made
our teeth water, and when it was cooked
we were more than ready for it,
"'There's Il fine piece. Cut that off
for the chaplain
ono, thank you. said he Il said
wouldn't eat it, and won't, but passing
up his plate Pm take little of the
gravy

a Prophetess confounded.

One of the mcst diyerting tales told
in connection with the art Of anagram
making relates to certain Dame Elean-
or Davies, wife of Sir Joshua Davies,
says a writer in Lippincott's Magazine.
She lived in the time Of Charles 1 and
was constant oroaker and foreteller of
evil. At length she made herself so OBJ
noxious to the government that she was
cited to appear before the court of high
commission. She fanciod that she was
gifted with prophetic powers, because
the letters Of Eleanor Davies formed the
anagram "Reyeal, o Daniel. " This was
not good anagram, as it used the 81"
twice ana did not employ the "s' at all.
She resisted all the efforts Of the
bishops to bring her TO reason, but was
at last entirely defeated by a witty
dean, who hoisted her with her own
petard by making another anagram, not
so complimentary to her prophetic in
sight, dame Eleanor Davies--never
so mad a ladier This caused her to
doubt the reality Of her own inspiration,
and so utterly disconnected her that no
more was heard Of her.

FISHING WITH "RED-UP. .
A NEW CASTLE PARTY WHICH CAME
TO GRIEF THREE TIMES.

AFTER THEY HAD ALL THEIR
RED UP, HAD TO START HOME
AND THEN SAW THEIR LINES
FAIRLY ALIVE WITH FISH.
A large party of amateur fishermen
who went from New Castle to the canal
below ST. Georges, had a thrilling ex-
perlence and very little fish, on Satur-
day The crowd consisted of Burt T..
Lank, William u Saunders, James
Dennis, Mark c. Bennett, James II.
White, Samuel Walls, William Mohler,
John Montgomery and c. H. Clewel
The party started from New Castle
in three carriages, but had not gone
far down the river road before they
found themselves blocked in lofty
snow bank, from which they had to dig
their way out. Three times the process
sion became foundered in the drifted
snow which was especially bad oppo-
site the farms of Theodore B. Rogers
and Levi G. Bird. Continuing on their
way they had to drive over fields.
BY the time the pleasure-seekers
reached the lower levels of the canal
and had cut seventy-flve holes in the
ice of ScOtts run, il was time 70 begin
to think about that uncomfortable re-
turn trip home The New Castle fell
lows fshed with "red-up,' by which q
a rel flag shot up in the air and waved
whenever bass or pike gnawed on the
bait
The first red flag that waved caused
a race between Mr. Montgomery on
skates and Messrs. White and Lank
afoot. IN which they ali fell in pile
several times and came near breaking
through the ice Montgomery got the
FISH and then the party began to pull
up stakes
They gave their bait TO some Della
ware City fishermen. and before they
could get started home. saw nearly
three dozen fish pulled OF their lines
Some sensible man at ST. Georges adj
vised them to return home by the state
road, and not a mishap occurred.
Upon reaching home Mr. Clewell
found a written order from l.. r. Hushe-
beck for three fish for his supper. Mr.
Clewell at once purchased three candy
fish from William Miller and forwarded
them by Walter Ferguson to his friend
who wanted a fish supper.

Bret Harto's "overlandn Enemy.

Ia The Atlantic Monthly BIr. Charles
Warren StCddard describing the APP
pearance of Bret Harte's 1.-The Luck of
Roaring Camp" explains the story of
the woman who was opposed to its pub
lication. There have been many render
ings Of this incident. Mr.. Stoddard' S
version is unquestionably the correct
one.
In the August number of The Over
land Monthly (1S6S) appeared ''The
Luck Of Roaring Camp" If Mr.. Harte
had been in doubt as to his vocation be-
fore, that doubt was now dispelled for
ever. Never was a more emphatic or
unquestionable literary success. That
success began in the composing room,
when IA female compositor revolted at
the unaccustomed combination of men
tai force, virility and originality. No
doubt it was all very sudden and unex-
pected. It shook the editorial and COM
posing rooms, the business Office and a
limited number Of worthy people who
had seen 1.-THE Luck" III manuscript as
they had never been shaken save by the
notorious Californian earthquake. The
climax was precipitated when the justly
indignant editor, whose motives, Liter
ary judgment and good taste had been
impeached, declared that "The Luck of
Roaring Camp" should appear in the
very next number of The Overland
Monthly or he would resign his office.
Wisdom finally prevailed, the article
appeared. The Overland's success was
assured, and its editor was famous.

HER HUSBAND Is HER MUIR
DERER.


DERER.
CAMBRIDGE, Md, Feb. Mrs.
Adele Grace. the young wife Of Allen
Grace, is dying at her home here from
wounds inflicted by her husband Satur-
day evening. In a jealous rage Grace
shot his wife three times and also at
tempted to kill Ralph Pons. a young
man whom, he says he suspected of
being intimate with her.
Mrs Grace in a deposition made be-
fore magistrate to-day, said there
was no cause for her husbands act.
Grace says that when he returned home
from work he found young Pons in
company with his wife A bitter quar-
rel ensued, and Grace dealt his Wife
several blows. She ran screaming into
the street. declaring that she would
have him arrested. but when she had
reached the middle of Washington
street the enraged husband drew pis-
tol and ired three shots at her He
then turned upon Pons and fired once
at him. but the ball went wide of It's
mark Two Of the shots fred at the
wCmnn took effect one IN the right
temple and one behind the right ear
Grace returned to the house. and as
soon as his wife had been brought in
and he had learned the serious nature
of her wounds. he made his escape.
Physicians extracted the ball which en-
tered the right temple, but could not
reach the other one, which was pro-
nounced fatal
Sheriff Phillips went in pursuit of
and overlook Grace at a country store,
about two miles from Cambridge He
was lodged in Jail. He expressed deep
regret at having been driven, as he
said, to commit the crime.
Mrs. Grace is but 27 years old, and
has four children, the eldest aged 10
years. She is the daughter of the late
"Kilbuck' LeCompte, as he was famil-
iarly known. She was a young girl of
rare beauty. Several years ago the
husband became suspicious of his wife,
and from that time they have lived to-
gether unhappily. Allen Grace is 3S
years old.
