And prone at the girls feet, sank the
shivering, trembling figure.
Had the grave opened before her
eyes, and yielded up its dead, Fellcle

Mother, mother" gasped she; can
it be possible, am l awake? Emile.
Jules, tell me that l do not dream"
Emile stood at the threshold like
a statue frozen suddenly to the spot;
he could not articulate single word.
Jules likewise was overwhelmed with
bewilderment.
But Jeannot had read the whole, and
Selling the hand of each, he cried,
stcutly:
mo, no, it is no dream; you are both
saved - mother and daughter both
saved-when you believed each other
dead. Rejoice and be happy. And we
shall be in England soon. Oh, praise
all the saints for this beautiful ending
to that bloody night"
Mother and daughter were sobbing in
each others arms, and not an eye was
dry in the cabin, as the strangers 81
lently retreated from the sacred scene.
ooh, my child, my child! l have
had so little hope in escape-the world

"He is here. Emile, where are you?"
cried Felicie.
Emile came forward slowly; he took
the hand of the countess, raised 1t
reverentially to his lips, and said:
II cannot speak. l am overwhelmed
with gratitude at this providential
meeting this blessed discovery-and
il is totally inexplicable still"
"Tell us how you escaped, my mother
my precious, precious one; restored as
it seems from the very jaws of death;
tell us how it happened"
"Jeannot must answer your inquiries,
to me it is all blank"
Jeannot smiled with pardonable
pride.

LOVE TURNS AWAY.
The Increase of BacheIorhood and

ILL HEALTH VERSUS MARRIAGE

To the social philosopher, one Of the
most discouraging tendencies Of the times
is the disposition of young men, and es-
pecially city-bred young men, to remain
single and grow up to old bachelorhood.
In the crowded eastern sections of our
country the percentage of bachelors and
spinsters to the total population is tre-
mcndous.

situation said
"Ycu will observe that this tendency is

Gently the young women are also at fault.
The fact of the matter is that city and
town-bred girls are too frequently semi
nvalids, without fully realizing It.

From the Washington Times.
The caddie of the player runs up and
places a lump of wet sand on the earth
to set the little white balls upon. If this
is not used a small rubber ring is used
for the PEDESTAL When the ball is in po-
sition the player stands to the side Of IT,
spreads his feet apart and takes up an
attitude of swinging freedom. He selects
his driving club from the bag that the
caddie holds, and grasping IL with both
hands, swings It through the air with a
quick trial stroke, just missing the Ian
1t Kisses like a black snake as 1t cleaves
the air, and is held aloft Tor a moment
while the player RECEIVERS from the ire
mendous swing his body has taken. 'rhe
next stroke is likely to be the telling one
and the white ball goes sailing aloft and
away to o wonderful distance. Ttat Is
it does If the player does not fukc and
tap his ball with an excess of nervous
ness.
Some one has said that playing golf IS
for two people to drive balls az far across
country as they can, and the one that
finds his first that day has won the game
That is certainly the way II looks 10 an
outsider, for the possibility OF ever find
ing ball after such a stroke seems in-
credible. The sharp eye of the caddie is
upon Il, however. and he IS away like the
wind to follow It up and stand by it until
the player comes up with II again. The
ball Is white and the gro lad 10 brown,
and so IL is not such a difficult matter
after all to locate It.

Increased their fury after darkness had
set in and travelling on the streets was
anything but pleasant.
The wind kept up a velocity of from
thirtyfve to forty mles and the sudden
gusts that always followed temporary

clothes of pedestriasn who were unfor-
tunate enough to be out while wind, hall

This storm that has come laden with
rain and hail has reached out all over
the states and from Eureka to San Diego

of the Sacramento valley it has been
accompanied Ny particularly cold
weather and at Red Bluff the farmers
have been treated to q snow storm, the
heaviest in years.
Snow Is also falling along both lines
of the railroad that pass over the Sierras
and the company Is making prepara-
tions to cope with the elements in the
vicinity Of Sissons and the summit.
In this city tonight the barometer
registered 294, making 1t reasonably GER
tain that the unpleasant weather will

AT CARSON
Snow Storms Interfere With Training-Tr affic
and Building Plans

CARSON, New, 1S.-Several maui
ries were received here today regarding
the condition of Corbett's hand, which
was alleged to have been bitten by dog
yesterday This caused considerable
merriment among Corbett's friends. 1t
seems that the most of the story was
the work of imaginative reporters, who
find genuine news rather scarce. The
facts were that when Corbett was out
at Shaw's Springs yesterday he was
playing with his dog Laddie, a Scotch
collie, and was bouncing a rubber ball
for the canine to catch, and in one of the
maneuvers the dog caught Corbett's
hand instead of the ball, but he did ii
playfuily, and did not even break the
skin.
When the champion rose this morning
he was sure that before the day was over
ne would be at his quarters at Shaw's
Springs, but early this morning it be-
gan to snow again and continued nearly
all day. The storm has prevented the
carpenters from finishing Jims hand
ball court, and so he will not go out
and settle down to outdoor training for
several days yet. In the meantime he
puts in the day playing pool and box
ing in the opera house with Billy Woods
and his brother joe, besides taking a
eoi az "iSSeilhS Will JdCh MIC 6y.
He takes them all in turn for an hour.
and when they are tired he seems as
fresh as ever.
George Siler. who is to referee the
big match, arrived here today, and ex-
pressed himself concerning the reports
that had been spread to the effect that
he was trying to get up a set of rules
to suit himself.
He said: There Is simply nothing
in that All want is that it be UNDER
stood before the men enter the ring
whether or not they are to be allowed
to strike with the free arm in a break
away after a clinch. l will suggest
that they be allowed to strike for the
simple reason that one or the other is
pretty liable to do so anyway, whatever
they may agree upon before they enter
the ring. So I say it would be better
to have this matter all understood be-
fore the contest comes off, but so far
as 1 am concerned / do not care what
they agree upon, so 1t IS an agreement"
